aSHANGHAIED" YOUTH
RELEASED FROM FRENCH BARK
 BY REVENUE GUTTER.
The Captain Had Paid Boarding House Runner $36 for Ser vices of the l6-Year-
 ol.a Boy.

New York. Aug 27.-The American boy who tried to escape from the French bark Marechal de Gontaut and who. 1t is alleged. had been ''shanghaied." was taken from the vessel early this morn ing by Collector of Port Stranahan. who had gone out to sea on the revenue cut ter Gresham to rescue the boy. The res cue was made after an all-nlght searcf at sea- about four miles east of the San dy Hook light ship. The boy is named Hugh Thompson. is 16 years old. and is the son of sailor who ships on coast wise vessel which plies between Bangor. Me. and points south.
 After he had been taken in charge by the revenue officers. young Thompson said he had not been forcibly taken tc the boat. but had gone with the consent of his father. He said, however. that he thought he was to ship on a coaster, and when he found that the Marechal dc Gontaut was bound for Yokohama and that he would be absent for many months he wanted to return to his home.
 The government officials declare that Captain Denniere. of the Frenchman made a statement that he had paid $3i to a boarding house runner for the ser vices of the boy. The vessel was de tained and will not be allowed to sal until Collector Stranahan's legal advis CTS shall decide whether or not Captain Denniere has violated the laws sufn cientIy to warrant his being placed undel arrest
 On his return to this city Collector Gtranahan said the boy had voluntarily appeared before the French consul ana declared himself ready to go to sea. bu did not sign the ships articles. ana Therefore, could be taken from the yes sel.
 Several conferences between Collector Etranahan. Gaston Velten the Frencl consul. and a representative of the char ters of Gontaut. were held during thu day The collector sent all the detail of the case to the authorities at Wash angton by telegraph and later announced that he had no authority to hold the ship A revenue cutter was therefore dispatch ed to the ship to take off the revenue of ficer placed on board. and instruction were given the commander of the cut ter to allow the bark to proceed on he way.

OPENING OF THEATRE
LARGE AUDIENCE BRAvED
 HEAT TO SEE HERMANN.
Entertainment by the Clever Magic ran Was Enjoyed Greatly-No Changes in Staff of the
 House.

The temperature last night may not nave been mean according to the vocab- uiary of the weather man but it was ex- tremely unpleasant. This, however did not mar the opening of the theatrical season at the Montgomery theatre where Hermann, the magician entertained a large audience.
 Considering the high temperature the size of the audience and it's evident en- joyment of the entertainment was sur prising. True the theatre managernent provided every available comfort but iced water and fans passed through the house did not serve to make one forget the op- pressve temperature
 Hermann smiled his best stage smile and looked comfortable but as he worked he had frequent recourse to his kerchief The magician opened his season at | Savannah last Friday evening but the entertainment runs smoothly and the Montgomery audience undoubtedly enjoy ed 1t greatly
 The performance is divided this season into four parts opening with experiments | in legerdemain by Hermann. Some of his feats are new and some are old, but all of them are good. notwithstanding they are described as "a marvellous dis. play of digital dexterity."
 The second part is taken up by the Laskys. man and really graceful maid billed as military musicians. ' There is nothing exceptionally clever about the act but it is pleasing. The couple make numerous quick changes oi clothing and cOnfine themselves almos entirely to use of the cornet.

At a meeting of the lawyers of Jeff ferson County at the Court House this morning at 10 o'clock a motion that a bili providing for the consolidation of the courts be presented to the Legisla- ture, and that the representatives from Jefferson County be urged to use their best efforts to secure its passage, was carried by a vote of fl to IA.
 The meeting this morning was held for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee appointed at a meeting last Saturday to consider means for relieving the congested condition of the courts The meeting last Saturday was held on a call signed by a number of lawyers, and was the result of an effort on the part of Won l.. Thompson.
 G. R. Harsh was appointed chairman of the committee selected and he read the bill that had been drafted by the committee and a subcommittee. The bill read Is largely one drawn by Rep resentative Felix E. Blackburn. Some changes in the bill which he drafted were made at the meeting of the com mittee.
 The bill will be presented to the Leg islature next month If it becomes a law it is to take effect on November 1. 1904. The provisions in brief, are a con- solidation of the Circuit, City, Criminal and Chancery courts into one court to pc CdIleu the CFcult court or JeHerSon County; that this court shall be di- vided into three divisions, law. equity and Ac-iminal; that there shall be eight judges, senior judge and seven associate judges. the seventh judge to be appointed when 1t is thought necessary by the other judges and the Governor of the State; that the judges all be paid $3,5OO a year out of the Treasury of the State; that there shall be a clerk for each division, the clerks to be elected by the people.
 At the meeting today some opposition developed. c. P. Beddow did not think the bill should apply to the Criminal Court, saying in this connection that he favored the generalization of the three other courts and the other provisions oi the bill.
 Capt. J. w. Bush did not approve oi lsthe Charcery Court being consolidated

RECONCILIATION TRAIN.
New Decatur Hopes to Secure One ir
 Near Future.


 New Decatur. Aug. Z.-tspecial)-For some time the Commercial Club and citi- gems of this city have been trying to in- duce the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company to put on an accommoda- tion train between the Decaturs and Bir- mingham, the train arriving here from Birmingham at an early hour in the morning and departing for Birmingham late in the afternoon. As yet the train has never been put on. but it now looks as if there was a probability of the rail- road complying with the wishes of the people not only of the two Decaturs, but of all the people along the line between this city and Birmingham. Within the last few days the company has issued circular letters to all their agents along the line between here and Birmingham, asking their opinion as to the advsabil- ity of putting on this train, and 1t is un- derstood that all agents have replied that the train would pay handsomely. train of this kind, running on the proposed schedule. has been badly needed for some time, and there is no question but that it would pay the company well. At this time the l.. and N. has not sufficient trains to accommodate the travelling pub lie between the Decaturs and Birming- ham, and for this reason many people wanting to go to Birmingham. rather than to wait several hours on the l.. L. and N. take the Southern and go many miles out of their way.
 In this portion of the State there lives woman over 50 years of age who has an invalid husband. and who can do but I little work. He had considerable prop erty, but she prevailed upon him until he deeded all his property to her. so that If death should suddenly take him to an- other world, she would have no trouble in settling up his affairs. As soon as she got control of all his property and money | cruelty abandoned him and refused him shelter. not even giving him a place to | lay his head. And now she has brought suit for divorce. The answer to the bill
 has not as yet been filed This will be
 one of the greatest sensations North
 Alabama has ever seen, as there are
 many things of a highly sensational na- | ture that win come out on the trial of | the case. Some of the best legal talent
 of the State has been employed on both
 sides. On account of the former promi-
 hence of the parties. the names for the
 present will be withheld from the public.
