 The City Court adjourned this after noon until Thursday morning when the criminal docket will again be taken up.
 In the acse of the State against Easen Brown. coiored, charged with assault with intent to murder. the jury rendered yer dict of guilty. The unusual fine of cent and costs was imposed upon Eason.
 Tn the case of the State against Easen rett, colored, was unusual and amusing. Garrett had allowed his two dogs Black Patti and Billy Kersands to run at large and devour his neighbors chickens. The peculiar character of the charge against Garrett and his patently patriotic admira- ton of the Thespian stars of his own color as evidenced by the names he gave his dogs. caused mcrrimeut in the court room. The supposition that dogs named Black Patti and Billy kersands would in the natural course of events pursue chick ems was held to be incompetent evidence and was not allowed.
 The jury returned verdict that Gar rett was guilty as charged and the court holding that an all-star cast like Black Patti and Billy Kersands should not play even melodramas of foul murder at pop utar prices fixed the prisoners fine at D with costs added.

 Major D. M. Scott. Quartermaster Gen- eral on the staff of General Louis ". Clarke, praises the Alabama militia and especially for the exhibition it made yes- terday.
 Tt was the finest military display Ala bama has ever had" said Major Scott today, "and Governor Jelks should feel proud that such a splendid display should be made in his honor.
 When the Legislature is next called upon to make an appropriation for the soldiers of Alabama, its members should take into consideration the fact that yes terday's assembly of over 1,50o troops ad- mirably arrayed and equipped cost the State absolutely nothing. The railroads generously provided transportation with out charge And the members of the com- panies which visited Montgomery paid the incidental expenses of the men.
 "The willingness of individuals to bear the expense of the mitilia should incite the State government to liberality to- wards the troops"

Powder ExpIOdes; Kills Two
Men.

Carthage, Mo-, November 80 An
explosion at the Independent pow
der company's works, three miles
southwest of this city, at $50 O'Clock
this afternoon, killed two men and
injured four Others. Leslie Ridge
and Bert Cobb were blown to atoms.
A hole in the ground is all that was
left to mark the disaster. Some IN
accountable mistake or blow in the
mixture is the only way to account
for the explosion.
An attempt to gather the remains
of Ridge and Cobb failed. No piece
larger than ones two hands could be
found. Every building in Carthage
was shaken, as well as buildings
I yenty miles away in every direction
This is the third explosion at the In
dependent eompany's works within
tour months, the Others being in July
and August. To.day's accidentput,
six men on the list OF killed al these
works.

HARMONIOUS ACTION.

The TINES cares more for the sue
cess Of the Democratic party than Is
does for any individuals preisrment.
The principles of that patry are based
upon human liberty and will live for
ever, individuals are mere atoms, OF
flesting existence. A spirited con-
test within the party for Its iavors,
conducted decently and in order, is
not Objectionable and stimulates
party pride in the final contest, but
bitter fights within the party should
be discouraged. Any good Demo-
crat, with clean record has per
feet right to aspire to the guberna-
torial nomination, and a campaign
OF vituperation and abuse OF any one
candidate is to be deplored and con-
demned. Every candidate should
conduct a dignifed campaign, in
keeping with the high office he seeks,
should treat his opponents fairly and
courteously, so that il nominated he
can command the full party support
and il defeated has the satisfaction
OF knowing that he has acquitted
himself with honor and credit. A
man worthy OF that high honor will
depend upon his own strength and
not upon a fight being made upon
his opponent. 1t ia well for demo-
Gratis to remember that the success
of the party is not dependent upon
any faction OF clique, but upon all
democrats harmoniously united. Let
us look Tor good qualities and pick
the best man to lead us in the next
