BATTLE ON ENGINE PILoT.-A des-
perate battle on the cow-catcher OF a
moving engine was the exciting spectacle
witnessed by 100 people at the Wyoming
street station at Hazleton, Pa, as the 3
o'clock train for Philadelphia leit that
depot Monday. The participants IN the
fray were Joseph O'Donnell, clerk IN
the Washington Hotel, and Charles NC
Connell, who hurled rock at the former
in revenge for fancied grievance.
O'Donneil pursued his assailant out OF
the hotel and Mcconnell jumped on the
cow-catcher of the moving engine to es-
cape punishment. O'Donnell, nothing
daunted, jumped on the cow-catcher af-
ter Mcconnell and the battle was con-
tinued while the train sped on its way.
The engineer finally discovered the COM
batants and stopped the train. McCon-
nell was arrested and held in hail on the
charge of assault and battery preferred
by 0'Donnell.

 The court will meet again today for the submission of cases.
 Chief interest of the cases that will be submitted during the week is the ap- peal of Colonel E. .L.5 Higdon of the Srd infantry to mandamust the Governor to reinstate him in command of the regi- ment. This e SC will De submitted Thurs day. The brief for Colonel Higdon has Court Clerk by Attorney Jesse F. Stall- ings. At MT.

 The case originated in the City Court of Montgomery. It was then that Colonel Higdon first filed his petition for man. damus to be directed to Governor Jelks.
 The case grew out of the difference in the 3rd infantry between Colonel Higdon and Lieutenant-C Colonel Osceoa Kyle. After some correspondence between Gov ernor Jelks and Colonel Higdon, the lat ter was relieved of his command.
 Colonel Higdon, by his attorneys, Stall- ings & Gaston of Birmingham, petitioned Judge A. D. Sayre of the City Court of Montgomery for a mandamus the com pIaint in the case alleging that the pe- litioner had been remov ed from his com mand without cause.

TALKS OF MARENG0.
Commissioner Poole Tells of Coun'
 tvs Progress.


 Hon. R. R. Poole. Commissioner of Ag- | riculture and Industries has returned from a visit to his home in Marengo County, where he went to look after his | farming interests.
 He is proud of ,Marengo County and | talks enthusiastically about its prog ress.
 My stands of cotton" said MT. Poole. "are not good. They need rain, but win | a good rain everything vii be all right | The corn and cotton crops are both back ward on account of the cool and dry | weather"
 While in Marengo." he continued, T went to Linden, and had a talf with the members of the Truckers Association.
 which was organized there last Decem- Der. They have seventy-five acres In canteloupes and will plant fifty acres in | strawberries mex. year, besides beans and other vegetables for market. The building of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad to Linden has caused our farmers to diversity their crops. and predict that before a great while Mr. rengo will furnish it's full share of vege- tables for the markets of Ala'nma. The town of Linden was one of the
 oldest and most delapitated towns in all Alabama. but is situated in very rich farming country, but the building of this railroad has awakened the peo- pie. who are taking new life The Louisville and Nashville Railroad ent rs
 Marengo County on its eastern border, and traver ses the entire county, ski t. ing what Is known as the flat woods. Before the road was built, this section was owned by rich cotton panters and here were some of the finest cotton plan tations in the State. But after the war de mote from market that they were almost entirely abandoned. Fifteen years ago | these old fields were the finest cattle l ranges in Alabama, and some of our citizens taking advantage of this, went | into the raising of cattle and have
 grown rich out of that business alone.
 The lands are very productive-the very | finest cotton lands in Alabama, and | grow everything to perfection, except corn.
 l About ten years ago these lands began
 to improve, and instead of growing corn | to feed stock, the farmers grew oats, | upland rice and peas The lands could | be bought for $1 an acre, but since the | building of the Louisville and Nash | vile Railroad, they are now worth from | S to $10 an acre, and are not much for sale. The people of Linden are building new court house, which is nearly com | pieted, and when completed will be one
 of the handsomest in the State. They
 now have one of the largest oil mills in | the State located there, and a sash and
 blind factory and there Is talk of cotton
 mills, and l know good place in Ala
 bama where bank could be started with | great profit.
 Tn getting up my exhibit for the Pam
 American Expos tion, I asked an expe- | rienced timber man to tell me where to get the finest specimen of hard wood
 in Alabama, and he tol1 me they were to | be found on Chickasabogue Creek in
 Marengo County. Linden Is better To- | cated for the purpose of manufacturing
 hard wood than almost any place."

 New York Special.
 It was declared today that Daniel J. SullY in his recent sensational raid on cotton netted $6000,0O0 for himself and the man or men behind him. Wall Street nas been indulging in much conjecture as to the identity of the persons who were behind the bull leader in his marvelously successful movement, and rumor has had 1t for several days that the Standard Oil Company Is backing him, but this Is denied. Many persons have declared from the start that Edwin Hawley of the Union and Southern Pacific railroads is behind Sully with the power of the Huntington millions. Frequent conferences were held between Hawley and Sully when the sen sational raid was reaching its climax.
 Sully was silent when asked about the syndicate which was back of him. and re- fused to hazard any public guess as to the amount of his profit
 ''Is 1t true the syndicate has cleaned up $6V0.OOO?' was asked of him.
 won't deny It," he replied, laughing.
 Is 1t true you have been carrying half million bales for rise?''
 That's about right I think"
 Sully traded In and out about 50O00O bales of cotton. It Is known he has closed out his stock and did so when the price was about $lO bale higher than when he began his campaign in last December. He got out when the market approached Il cents pound.
 The price is still advancing due to the bull movement of Brown of New Orleans still further high records for the season were reached in the market today. July. August. September, October and Decem- Der all reaching new high levels. July sold at 10. S2; August. 999, and September. 9SO, exceeding the previous high prices by lO IS and 9 points respectively. May owing to liquidation in that option. was kept well within the previous range, sell ing no higher than 10.99.

ened his life, and it was said had for several days been carrying a revolver for the purpose of killing him. Hardwick says when he learned this fact he went to Hartselle, purchased shot gun and two pounds of buckshot in order to defend himself. On the day of the killing, Hard wick claims he was on his way to the neighborhood graveyard for the purpose of participating in the cleaning of the same, as was the annual custom. Be- lieving that Dr. Thomson intended to take his life should the two ever meet, Hardwick took with him a double bar relied shotgun, loaded with buckshot.
 When he reached the creek near Dan-
 vile he met Dr. Thomson mounted on
 horseback. Hardwick and other witness es testified that Dr. Thomson drew a pistol on Hardwick and 1t was then that
 Hardwick fired with his shotgun in order to protect his own life.
 This story, however, was partially con
 tradicted by the prosecutions witness,
 and from the fact 1t was clearly shown that pr. Thomason's saddlebags con tained a revolver after his body was 1 found on the roadside.
 man by the name of Williams who | resided in the neighborhood and who own
 ed farm in that vicinity, testified that q brother Of the defendant came to him | late at night and made him a proposl-
 tion to buy his real estate and personal | property at a handsome price if he would leave the country and not testify before
 the grand jury against his brother. For some reason this proposed negotiation | was never consummated although 1t was proven by witnesses on both sides that
 Hardwick's brother did call on MT.
 Williams on the night mentioned and
 procured from him his old deeds to the property for the purpose as he said of
 obtaining description of the real estate
 in order that he might write a deed to | the property involved.
 This case has attracted more interest and attention than any that has been tried in North Alabama in many years from the fact that both the deceased | and the defendant were highly connected. l Mir. Hardwick is a brother of County Tax Collector George Hardwick. while Dr. Thomson was q brother of County Coroner J. A. Thomson. The case was | stubbornly fought on both sides by a
 number of leading attorneys of the State,
 Hardwick has asked for an appeal to the Supreme Court.
