branch Col Hols gave the following
details Of the method of work:
"Our object is to carry Christianity
to the mountaineers of the Southern
states that will be visited. These pee

touch with these people, that we
should have a band of our Salvationists
personally visit them and try our
methods on them. You see we hardly
know how to get at them, and that is
the purpose of our coming trip. We
will feel our way, and study the situa-
ton thoroughly. We are hopeful that
the methods OF the Salvation Army
will prove just the thing to awaken
this peculiar people and to bring taem
out OF their present condition. / can
only say that we are hopeful; our
methods may not work at all. The
coming trip will tell the tale"

 BLOWS.
Ihe Trouble Was Over the Difference Between Two Montgomery Members Concerning the Con-
 solidated Court Bill.

The division between the members of the montgomery delegation in the House over the oiii consolidating the Circuit and Chancery courts or Montgomery with the City Court or montgomery culminated yesterday in personal difficulty between Representative o. C. Maner and J. s. Pinckard prominent citizen Of Montgomery. The fight took place in the rotunda of the Capitol yesterday morning and for awhile considerable excitement pre- vailed.
 No serious damage resulted, only two blows being exchanged.
 shortly after the House convened yesterday morning. Mfr Maner approached Mir. Pinckard. who was standing near the door entering the hall of the House of Representatives Mir. Maner. 1t is said, stated to Mir. Pinckard that he understood that he had circulated state ments that he had violated his agreement with Mir. Goodwin
 MT. Ptnckard. 1t is understood, replied that ne had only repeated what Mir Goodwin had said to him and what MT. Goodwin had said on the floor of the House.
 MT. Goodwin was called to the door when MT, Pfnckard and Mir Maner were in conver- sation and asked to confirm his statement of the misunderstanding between him and MT. Maner. Mir. Maner. 1t is said told MT. Pinck- ard that 1t would be only fair in making any such statements to also give his side of the case as he had stated 1t on the floor
 The word ''1ie'' was used by Mir. Maner and Mir. Pinckard Immediately struck at him. but the blow did not land.
 Mir. Maner struck Mir Pinckard and the crowd rushed in and separated them.
 Both Mir. Goodwin and Mr. Maner decHre that there is nothing personal in their misun- derstanding each conceding to the other fair ness and honesty in his opinion.

FIRE IN ANNISToN.
The Loss Is Estimated at $16,OOO
 Men Thown Out of Work.

Anniston. Feb. A.-(speciaLl-Fire here tonight totally destroyed the malleable and soft foundry buildings of the South ern Car and Foundry Company, with all equipments.
 The fire originated near a cupola in the soft foundry and the roof was ablaze be- fore the fire alarm was turned in. An estimate of the damage Is sl6, 900, covered partly by insurance. During the fire the large rolling mill. wheel foundry, erect ing shed and blacksmith shops were en- dangered. The fire had attained such headway that the fire department could do little except save the adjoining build ings. The loss of the two departments will throw three hundred men out of cm- ployment. Next to the loss of the build Ing the patterns of the company will count largely in the estimate of the loss.
 The fire started about o'clock and is under control at ten but will probably burn all night. A large force of hands are now employed at the fire ready to respond to any fresh outbreak. A. Camp bell of Birmingham. assistant to the president, and W. c. Broadway, treasurer, also of Birmingham. were in the city to-day. but will make no statement of the damage.

HUMBERTs SCORE POINT.
Come Out Victorious in the Cattu
 Case.

Come Out Victorious in the Cattui
 Case.
 Paris, Feb 21.-The Humberts scored their first notable success to-day when the ninth correctional chamber announced their acquittal in the libel suit brought against them by Nj. Cattui, the banker The public interest in the result was very great and the court room was surround ed by an eager crowd. The costs of the prosecution were assessed against M. Cattui
 The court rendered a lengthy judg- ment. the main point of which was that the evidence failed to show bad faith on the part of the Humberts in charging M. Cattui with usury. The judgment speci1- cally acquits Frederick Humbert, Mime. Humbert and Marie Daurignac, her sis ter, who were the chief persons ac- cused.
 When the acquittal was announced, Mime. Humbert exclaimed, At last the voice of justice Is heard.''
 The result of the trial was fully ex pected, and although 1t marks a tenn porary triumph for the Humberts 1t is not considered to affect the main case which involves the authenticity of the Crawford millions.
 Public opinion seems to applaud the verdict as the chief plaintiff, MT. CattuI is considered a type of the money len der.
