BILL OF EXCEPTIONS
 READY TO FORWARD
APPEAL FROM JUDGE coLEMAN's JUDGMENT IN WISE HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS - STA rus OF THE CASE.

The bill of exceptions in the appeal Of the habeas corpus proceedings of William Wise to the Supreme court has been transcribed at the office of the clerk of the Circuit court and will be forwarded to Montgomery at once.
 The bill covers one hundred pages of typewritten manuscript and Is an accurate resume of the most important points against the petitioner brought out in the trial of Glen Havis. Havis and Wise were Jointly indicted for the murder of Elias M. Lathem at the Morris hotel and Wise brought the habeas corpus proceed ings to procure his release from the county jail on ball
 Judge A. A. Coleman rendered judg- ment granting the petitioner ball and the amount was agreed on by the opposing at torneys at s10.OOo. The state gave notice of appeal and asked suspension of the judgment pending such appeal
 The Supreme court will not convene until the second Tuesday in November and as this is a preferred case, 1t will probably come before that body as soon as the court convenes.

HUNTSVILLE.
Sunday School Association Meets.
 Postal to Extend Lines.

Huntsville, August 16.-(Special 1.-The Sunday School association at Curley was well attended, and a great deal of work was done. The county was divided into six districts, each under a vice president, and in this way the work of the organiz- ation will be facilitated.
 President James R. Boyd of the cham Der of commerce has received letter from c. c. Adams, general superintendent of the Postal Telegraph company of Att lanta, informing him that the company will extend a line from Birmingham to Nashville by way of Huntsville next spring. The work was to have been done last summer but for some reason the company was unable to make arrange ments. The business men of this city have been trying for several years to in- duce the Postal to extend line here, and now that the extension is assured, there Is general qualification.
 The largest land deals made in this city in several years were concluded and deeds passed yesterday. William c. Hen derson of Savannah, Mo, purchased the Scruggs farm on the Tennessee river from w. l.. Kenney and Wander Bogart paying $14,000. The farm, which consists of several hundred acres, will be operated as a cotton plantation and steamboat landing will be established along the river front.

altogether This fact has been missed by many who, alarmed by the steadily in- creasing tendency toward centralization of power in business have been denouncing the trusts and combinations as develop ment toward monopoly.
 Even in cases where combinations or consultations have eliminated competi- ton, there is ever present the fear of competition which is almost as effective In preventing any undue advance In prices IS active competition would be. A great company. controlling an entire industry Is always restrained by the possibility that another concern will enter into busi- ness in competition with 1t. and to pre- vent this, keeps prices at such a level of equity as to discourage an opposition from being formed. Thus the spirit ot compe- tition may be present where the body Is absent.
 A special from Chicago to the st. Louis Globe Democrat says: D. P. Ripley. pres ident of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. admits the correctness of the statement that arrangements practically have been completed whereby the Rock Island will use the tracks Of the Santa Fe west of Albuquerque as its outlet to the Pacific coast. The connections between the two roads are being constructed and
 
 arrangements will become effective. The Rock Island will leave It's line at or near Amarillo will use part of the Frisco and ChoQtaw tracks and run over the new inc. The Santa Fe will obtain a much shorter route to the Pacific and obviate the high grades over the Rattoon and Glorietta mountains Its new line will branch off from the main line at Hutchinson, Kas., and run southwest through Nc Mans Land to a connection with the Rock Is- landFrisco lines near Amarillo.
 The Rock Island, MT. Ripley says, has obtained no interest In the Santa Fe.
 New York special to the St. Louis Globe Democrat: A banker connected with the Frisco -Seaboard Air Line deal today said that the present holdings of the Frisco syndicate in Seaboard stock were 5000 shares. and that the syndicate held op- tions on enough more stock to give 1t control. The control. it was said, will be exercised through a majority of the voting trustees. It was intimated that the stock had been secured on the basis of 25 for the common and 45 for the pre- ferred.
 If the Seaboard ever connects Birming ham with it's Montgomery and Savannah line it will not be by paralleling the Louis- vile and Nashville road from here to Montgomery, but by tapping the line forty or fifty miles east of Montgomery. This would develop new territory and would not materially interfere with Louisville and Nashville traffic.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET
Slight Increase of Trade Where Sales
 men Were Disposed to Yield.

Manchester August 16.-The cloth mar ket continued depressed and inactive last week. thought at the weeks end there was fairer inquiry, mostly of an un- workable character. Nevertheless there was slight increase of trade where salesmen were disposed to yield. Call cutta bought principally light goods, heavy goods being generally neglected China was open al low rates for most qualities, but little actual business was transacted South America bought spar ingly.
 Yarns were firmer, checking the incip- tent business which had begun in some qualities with the result that American cotton was in slightly better demand. The turn over was small.
