ROBBERS TRACED
 TOA WATER TANK
BURGLARS BREAK INTO JEWELRY STORE AT FORT PAYNE AND GET AWAY WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF GOODS.

Fort Payne, March s-(SpeciaD-Quite a little excitement occurred this morning when R. L. Wright found on going to his jewelry store that it had been broken into and several hundred dollars worth of stuff had been taken. When he found the store had been burglarized he locked the door and roped off the sidewalk in front until the arrival of the bloodhounds from Chattanooga, which he had telegraphed for. The hounds came on the 10 o'clock train, and on going to the store took the trail, and after circling around through several vacant lots took the railroad track and went about four miles up the road to water tank, where it is sup. posed the robbers took a freight train that passed there at a late hour in the night. The dogs lost the track there.
 There have been no arrests, but there were several suspicious characters in town yesterday, and it is supposed they had hand in 1t, as they left some time last night.
 Some one tried to enter the store of Chitwood X Co. also, but a clerk who was sleeping in a room over the store aWoke and asked who 1t was. as he supposed ii was some one wanting something. This irlghtened them off, and on leaving in a hurry they left a hat behind, which will be used as a clue

During the session 116 cases were docket ed. 190 witnesses examined and elghtv- six true bills found.

COMPANY WANTS
 TO CHANGE NAME
BESsEMER LAND AND IMPROVE MENT co. HAS EXTENDED BUsI- NESS TOO FAR FOR ITS TITLE. OTHER NEWS OF INTEREST.

Bessemer, March 18-(Special.) -- Steps are being taken to change the name of the Bessemer Land and lm- provement company to the Bessemer Iron, Coal and Land company. The change is deemed advisable on account of the development of the companys business. Originally the development of the site of Bessemer, owned by the company, was it's chief aim, but since the acquiring of large tracts of rich coal land the company has become the largest seller of domestic coal in the state. Hence 1t will be found more convenient to do business under the new name. The fact that iron is in- cluded in the name suggests a still further development of the company's interests. To change the name the consent of three-fourths of the stock holders with two-thirds of the stock is necessary. 4-i5 means about 180 signatures, which are now being se- cured.
