CICERO WEBB HAS
 A NARROW ESCAPE
WHEN HE IS ALMOST READY TO ASCEND SCAFFOLD NEGRO MUIR DERER HAS DEATH SENTENCE cOMMuTED BY JELKS.

Selma. September 17.-(Special. )-With the scaffold almost yawning at his feet and the Hateful moose dangling over his head Cicero Webb, sentenced to be hang ed today for the murder of his wife, was sheriff from Private Secretary to the cheriff from Private Secretary to the Governor J. Kirk Jackson, stating that the sentence had been commuted from death to life imprisonment.
 About month ago Cicero Webb was granted a reprieve by the governor until today. pending action on his application for executive clemency. As the time went on and nothing was heard from the governor the fears of the negro increased until this morning he had given up all hope and prepared himself to meet the dreaded ordeal. About 9 o'clock Sheriff Blackwell told Webb that if anything was to come off today it would take place about o'clock, giving him the benefit of the last moment allowed by law. About Il o'clock came the telephone message saving the negro's neck, and when Jailer Smith communicated the good news to him he cried aloud. Thank God for that, thank God. I always knew the white folks were the best friends I had, and they have done what they could for me-
 Webb shot his wife to death as she sat by the fire in her cabin near Pleasant Hill last spring. He had good reasons to suspect her infidelity and he killed her. He made his escape to New Orleans, but his hiding place was located and ne was brought back and after trial given the death sentence.
 The unusual event happened this morn ing of a negro charged with murder and against whom a serious case seems pend ing, voluntarily giving himself up. Such was the action of Jesse Robertson, the negro who killed Goldman Shields on Monday night. September in front of Queen Esther Society hall. He states that the negro he killed had threatened him the night before while he was talking to two women out near the church close by the hall where the shooting occurred. On the next night Shields again threatened "to knock his heart out" and pulled his pistol, when Robertson says he shot lim.

 The land in dispute is at present owned or controlled by wealthy mining com panies or individuals, and the case prom ises protracted litigation.

GADSDEN
Death of Prominent Confederate Sol
 der-SchooIs Overflow.

Gadsden, September 17.-(Special.)-J. N. Hagin, one of the most prominent and prosperous planters of Etowah county, died yesterday at Ragland St. Clair county. where he was on a visit to his son. MT. Hagin was stricken with ty- phoid fever some four weeks ago and owing to his feeble condition it was feared he would not recover, as he had been in bad health for several years. He was born in Atlanta in 1928 and was 76 years old. He moved to this section when a vigorous young man and grew up with the country. He was a successful far mer and reared a large family at Mark ton, all of whom stand high in social and business life. The family now consists of five boys and three girls, Mrs Hagin having died some time ago. MT. Hagin went to the front with the First Ala bama when the war broke out and re- ceived a wound in the head which was a source of much trouble to him all his life. The remains were carried to Bethel church in Calhoun county, where they were inferred.
 Sam Sweatman. who was arrested in Birmingham several days ago on a war rant charging him with stealing a sack of money from George Blake, in Gads- den, said to contain $50, was tried before Judge J. H. Lovejoy yesterday and re- leased, there being no evidence to con- vict. Blake claimed that he left his store unlocked a few minutes and when he returned the money was gone and he had Sweatman arrested. In the trial it was brought out that Blake had at tempted to compromise the case with Sweatman if the latter would return half of the stolen money.
 Miss Carrie Bentley died at her home in keener, Etowah county, last Friday, after ten days illness from typhoid ma laria fever. She was IS years old and was very popular young lady. This death makes the fourth victim In that neighborhood within the past month from typhoid malarial fever, and there are several more dangerously III.
 The enrolment at the free schools of Gadsden continues to grow and the only thing to stop the increase is the want of room to accommodate the pupils. Chl- dren in some of the rooms are actually sitting on the floor for the want of seats, but this has been remedied by the pur- chase of 125 more desks. In the white schools the enrolment has now reached $50 while the colored school has enrolled SSO making a total of 1030 for this sea- son. This shows an increase over last year of over 100 per cent
 J. M. Bryant suffered very painful accident at the furnace of the Alabama Consolidated Company yesterday. The heat had just been taken off and the en- zines started up. Mir Bryant was near the gas fiue, when the manhole cap blew off and in falling struck him on the foot, crushing it in a horrible manner.
