JONES CALLED TO
 COURT OF APPEALS
IS INVITED FOR THE FOURTH TIME TO SIT WITH THAT BODY IN NEW oRLEANS-FIRsT Ac- CEPTANoE.

Montgomery, March 14-(Special J. Judge Thomas c. Jones or the Alabama district court went to New Orleans to- day, where he has been invited to sit with the United States court of appeals. Judge Jones does not know just how long he will remain in the Crescent City. but 1t is expected that he will be detained at least four weeks.
 This is the fourth time that Judge Jones has been invited to sit with the court of appeals, but he has been so busy with his courts in Alabama that he has been compelled to decline in each instance. He goes now at the sacrifice of the business of his home courts. but he feels it his duty to obey the call.
 The going of Judge Jones to New Or leans will defer the time for the conven- ing of the Alabama courts. It is impossible to hold the term of the court in Montgom- cry at present on account or the repairs being made on the federal building. It is expected that the court at Huntsville will be held in May and the Birmingham court in June. Due notice will be given, however as to when these courts will meet.
 Judge Jones carried with him to New Orleans a large bag of unanswered mail letters referring to matters In bankruptcy and the like He will give his attention to this correspondence as he finds time. Probably no otker judge in the country is more accommodating in the matter of attending to official matters through the mails than Judge Jones' There is no re- quirement for court business to be trans acted in this manner.

Montgomery, March 4.-(Special.)- J. Many candidates for state, district and circuit offices have not yet filed with the state chairman declaration of their intention to run in the democratic prl- mary in April.
 Chairman Mallory spent today in Mont gomery conferring with James K. Jack son, who is assisting in the work of pre- pairing the state ticket for the printers. While here the chairman issued the fol- lowing statement calling the attention of the candidates to the rule requiring that declarations of candidacy shall be filed with the state chairman:

 ASSEMBLE TODAY

 The anti-Standifer faction seems deter mined to down Standifer the Gadsden postmaster, while his friends are just as zea1ous in his behalf. There is much ex- citement among local republicans and great interest centers about Tuesday s convention.

THIRD MAN IS WOUNDED

Meridian, March 14-(Special.) )-News reached here today of tragedy in Ne shoba county near Philadelphia, that al- most parallels the Rogers case A con- versation by phone with deputy sheriff at Philadelphia elcited the information that Dr. Wilson w. Jones, Roy Eshe and Frank Burnett engaged in a three-eor- nered duel last Saturday at Ocobla, postoffce about five miles east of Phila- delphla, the result of which was that Roy Eshe was shot dead, Frank Burnett was mortally wounded and Dr. Jones was riously wounded
 Tie details of the fight so far as known are that Jones, Eshe and Burnett met about o'clock to talk over a horse trade. Some difficulty arose and during the dis cusslon, it is reported Jones made a re- mark about a young lady. which precipi- tated the bloody battle. The young lady mentioned was not related to any of the parties and the remark was not detri- mental to her character but it angered Eshe and he and Jones became engaged In a fight Eshe with knife and Jones with a pistol.
 Jones Kills Both Men.
 Eshe fell dead, shot through the head and then Burnett, who is a brother-in-law of Eshe, began firing at pr. Jones. He. too, was mortally wounded by the doctor, while Dr. Jones was shot in the left shoulder by Burnett. Burnett was shot through the stomach and died the next morning.
 Dr. Jones was taken to the residence of his father. w J. Jones, about seven miles northeast of Philadelphia where he is now resting easily and his wound is not thought to be dangerous.
 Roy Eshe was about g years old and left a wife. the sister of Frank Burnett, who was only 1T years of age. Both were of prominent families and were farmers. Dr Jones practiced medicine in the local ity where the tragedy occurred.
 From information received here today, Dr. Jones was considered justiiable in shooting the two men as they were said to be the assailants, hence no effort has been made to place him under arrest.

RAILROAD MEN EXPECTED

Montgomery, March 14.-(Special.)- )-The state board of railroad assessment will meet at the capitol tomorrow. This meeting is for the purpose of assessing the railroad, telegraph and long distance telephone property in Alabama for that and county taxation.

There is little difference in the averaged assessment in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
 Total Assessed Valuation.
 The total assessed valuation of all rail- road property in Alabama, including roll ing stock, in 1903 was s52, ,099 91S .79 The average assessment of the main track in the state was $1O,74O per mile. There arc 4131 miles of main track in the state. The assessment of side traekage and branch lines averages $27s7 per mile. The high est assessment is a division of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad which is sessed at $190OO
 The state board of assessment which will assemble tomorrow is composed of the governor, auditor, secretary of state, treasurer and attorney general, the latter sitting merely in an advisory capacity.
