BROOKS SURRENDERED
NEGRO SHOT BY YOUNG MAN IS
 DEAD.
A Charge of Murder Grows Out of Shooting at Joseph's Store on the Lower Wetump-
 ka Road.

A. A. Brooks, young white man, yes- terday surrendered to the sheriff of Mont gomery County and turned over to him his own commitment papers to the coun- ty jail, which charge him with the mur- der of Jim Beck. q negro.
 It will be remembered that Saturday night, three weeks ago, in a disturbance at the resort of J. I. Joseph on the Lower Wetumpka Road. three miles from Mont gomery. Jim Beck was shot in the leg by Brooks.
 Both white man and negro were arr rested by Joe Peoples, City Marshal of Pickett Springs and brought to the county jail. Brooks made bond the next day but preliminary hearing was never held by Justice R. H. Jones, before whom the warrant was sworn out. on account of the inability of the negro to appear In court.
 It was at first thought that the negro's injuries were slight. The wound becom- ing poisoned. however, he was removed to a hospital, where he died yesterday. A warrant charging Brooks with murder was sworn out before Justice Jones by Deputy Sheriff B. c. Young. The young man, hearing of the warrant, went to the office of Justice Jones, and receiving from him. the commitment papers pre- sented them to Jailer P. M. McLemore and was locked up.
 The preliminary hearing will take place today at 10 o'clock.

IS THE NEGRO DYING oFFp
Practical Study in xenia, Ohio. With
 Interesting Results,

4uS0TCbJAuB 6oSu1LD.. Special to the Baltimore Sun.. Washington.-Commi of Labor Carroll D. Wright, in a bulletin issued to-day. publishes a timely and exhaus- tive study of the negro population of Xenia, Ohio, by Richard R. Wright, Jr. Xenia. with total population in 1900 of S669. and a negro population of 1888, was selected as the field for this study as being a representative Northern town with a large percentage of negro popu- lation.
 By selecting such a comparatively small community 1t was possible to make the study complete. and one of its most in- teresting features is the fact that it tends to confirm the conclusion drawn from the census reports, that but for the migration of negroes from the country to the towns and cities the population of the latter would tend to decrease rather than increase by the natural operations of births and deaths. The first evidence in this direction Is afforded by the table of population, which shows that, while the white population of Xenia has in- creased from 5,077 in 1880 to 6,705 in 1900. the colored population remains practice ally stationary and was L943 in 1880 and l,9SS in 1900. This was in spite of the fact that there has been a constant migration of negroes from the Southern States to xenia. 759. or A14 per cent. of the negro population of the town having been born in the Southern States
 During the twelve months preceding the investigation there were 45 births and A deaths among the negroes of Xenia, making the excess of births but one. Taking into consideration the slight increase in population during the 20-year period from 1880 to 1900 and the evidences discovered by Mir. Wright of migration to Xenia. it would seem to be probable that even this small excess of births over deaths was unusual.
 Incidentally the report throws some light on the extent to which negro blood is being mixed with white blood, Mir. Wright found eight cases of intermar- riage between whites and negroes, in each of which a negro man had married a white woman. Offspring had resulted
 from all except one of these marriages. MT. Wright's observations and inquiries led him to the conclusion that the per- cent of pure blacks among the negro
 population of Xenia was very small in-
 deed, and that fully 45 per cent. of the
 negroes of the town were at least half | white

PRAYER FROM NEGROES
THEY PETITION CLEMENcY FOR 7 THE CoSBY's
Judge Jones Urged by Black Citiz. ems of Ta1lapoosa to Intercedes for Violators of Peonage
 Statues.

Prominent negroes of TalIapoosa Coun- ty have petitioned Judge Thomas C.. Jones of the United States Court for the Middle and Northern Districts of Ala bama for recommendation to the Presi- dent for pardon of George D. Cosby and Barancas Cosby, who are serving sent ences in the United States penitentiary at Atlanta for violations of the peonage statutes.
 This petition Is regarded by people of Tallapoosa County as significant of a better understandging between the peo- pie of the two races in that community.
 It will be remembered that the Cosbys, who were prosperous planters of Taila- poosa County, were sentenced to serve ono year and day. each, for violations of the United States peonage statutes, to which they entered pleas of guilty at the last term of the District Court.
 All of the men alleged to have been held in peonage by the Cosbys were ne- groes. but the petition for the pardon of the Cosbys, although from negroes, Is none the less earnest in It's expression.
 Other petitions for the pardon of the Cosbys have been filed by the white peo- pie of the county. All aver in the peti- tions that peonage has been effectually plotted out In that section of Alabama end urge the court on account of the previous good character and high stand ing of the prisoners in the community that pardons be granted
 IL is said that the whites and the ne- groes of Tallapoosa County are making every effort in their power to have a better understanding between the two races, and an era of good feeling is hoped for

STORY OF INDIAN MAGIC.
Tricks That Defy Detection and Mys-
 tify All Who Behold Them.

Longman's Magazine.
 The following story of Indian magic
 was told me by the person to whom 1t
 was told by the late Lord Lytton. I give it in my own words, for the excellent
 though humiliating reason that I have
 mislaid the manuscript. When in India
 Lord Lytton often sought out conjurors.
 but never saw any but the usual feats,
 such as the mango-tree trick and the
 basket trick. The method in each case
 is known, or, at all events, plausible ex-
 plantations have been given by MT. Mask
 elyne and other experts. On one occasion
 Lord Lytton liked something in the looks of the conturor who was performing in an open space before his house. After the ordinary exhibition his lordship asked the magician If he could not do some thing more out of the common way. The
 man said he would try and asked for Q ring, which Lord Lytton gave him. He then requested an oficer to take in either hand a handful of seeds; one sort was sesame; the name of the other sort my informant did not know. Holding these seeds and having the ring between his finger and thumb the officer was to go
 to well in the corner of the compound. tain way--I think on the low wall round the well, into the depths of which he was to throw the ring. All this was done and then the mage asked Lord Lytton where
 he would like the ring to reappear He answered 'in his dispatch box" of which the ke was attached to his watch
 chain, or, at all events, he had it with him on the spot. The dispatch box was | brought out; Lord Lytton opened 1t and there was the ring.
 This trick would be easy if the British
 officer was confederate of the juggler's
 and if he possessed a duplicate key to the
 dispatch box. In that case he would not throw the ring into the well, but would take 1t into the house, open the box and insert the ring, But this explanation fn-
 wolves enormous improbabilities, while it | is unlikely, again. that the conjurer man. aged to insert a duplicate ring into the fdfspatch box beforehand. Lord Lytton then asked the iuggler If he could repeat | the trick. He answered in the affirma-
 tive and a lady lent another ring. An
 other took it, with the seeds. as before.
 and dropped the ring into the well, The countenance of the juggler altered In the pause which followed. Something, he
 said, had gone wrong, and he seemed agi- tated. Turning to the second officer. he | said: Did you arrange the seeds as I bade your No" said the officer, T
 thought that was all nonsense and I
 threw them away" The juggler seemed
 horrified. Do you think do this by my self?" he said, and, packing up, he de- parted.
 The well was carefully dragged and at
 last the lady's ring was brought to the | surface. That ring, at least, h1d certain l ly been in the water. But had the first
 ring been as faithfully consigned to the depths? Experts will be of various opin- ions as to that, yet the hypothesis of confederacy and of a duplicate key to the
 dispatch box is difficult.

Empire state Express in Football. !.

From The Brooklyn Standardization.
 The New York Centrars Empire State Express is recognized as the swiftest and surest train operated by Americas great est railroad, and considered the very best means to cover the ground in the time re- quired. It is for this reason that the Har- ward University football team named their best and surest play of the season of 1902 the Empire State Express" for they believed 1t to be the most reliable play in their program. It was success f1l throughout the season until 1t met Yale's '20th Century Limited" play, which was just as swift, safe and sure, but had longer endurance and was limited" only by the size of the field. The names of the rival teams very correctly describe the difference in the famous trains, the Empire State" running only from New York to Buffalo, while the ''2Oth Century Limited" makes the 9S0 miles between New York and Chicago in twenty hours every day of the year. Great is the New York Central and great are the trains 1t operates-swift, safe and reliable.--

Her friends say that she was almost to- tally deaf and dumb, being able to ar ticulate only & few words. The engineer in charge of the train on coming to the crossing blew his whistle several times The woman did not hear, and in a sec ond's time. she was cut into pieces by the flying engine.
 Her head was severed from the body and her left arm hung to the shoulder by shred.
 Coroner W. H. Tice investigated the case yesterday morning and rendered a verdict of accidentally killed by Atlantic Coast Line train.

A FLAT FAILURE.
A Strike That Resulted Disastrously
 Defiance to the Leaders.

Chicago Special.
 The attempt of the officials of the Ho- tel and Restaurant Employers Unions to tie up the Chicago restaurants today croved failure, not a single establish ment having been compelled to close for lack of help. Of the 5000 members of the different unions ordere don strike, not over 10 per cent responded to the sum- mons, and the places of those who did quit work were quickly filled with non- union employees. The calling of the strike by the local joint board of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees international alli- ance without consulting the various local unions is said to have been responsible for the refusal of the majority of the em- ployes to obey orders and the indications tonight are that the strike will be of short duration. and will end disastrously to the unions.

Probate Judge Dan Cor don, who has held this office for twenty four years, will unquestionably succeed himself as he is candidate for re-elec- ton and will have no opposition. His official record is. perhaps the best of any like official in the State and he is the most popular man with the people in this County.
 Treasurer William Y. Carr. who is now serving so acceptably his second term, will offer for another term. It is hardly probable that he will have opposition as no one cares to tackle such a strong op- ponent. For the other offices there will likely be a lively contest.
