MONDAYS ELECTION
CITY COUNCIL DEsIaNATEs THE
 MANAGERS.
Citizens of Montgomery Will Vote to Authorize $350, ,000 Bond Issue For Schools and Water
 Works.

Preparations were made at last nights meeting of the Montgomery City Council for the bond issue eiec- ton which will be held next Monday. The election is for the purpose of deciding whether the city of Mont gomery shall issue bonds to the extent or $aso.ooo for the purpose of building school houses and extending the wa.<r works system of the city into the an- nexed territory.
 The approaching election has so far attracted practically no attention. If there Is any opposition to the issuance or the bonds it has not so far devel- oped. It Is the general opinion that the suburbs should be given the school and water works facilities enjoyed by the older portions of Montgomery and that the only practicable way of furnishing them with these facilities Is to issue bonds to cover the cost.
 The Council was at last nights meet ing called upon to elect managers and returning ofiicers for the six city wards At previous meeting of the Council an ordinance was passed providing that the suburban residents could vote in the bond election as they would vote by beats in a county election.
 At last nights meeting the election officials were chosen as follows:
 Ward l. Managers-Sweatt Taylor, Charles Anderson, J. H. Dent; return ing officer, I. Abraham.
 Ward ?, Managers-Isidor Dreyfus, D. A. Crommelin. c. D. Sands; return ing officer. John Hancock.

Seltna, MdN E.
 Many a cotton row has gone unplowed and many a field intended today in the territory ranging from Selma towards Burnsville and the occasion has been the preliminary trial of those charged with the murder of Handy Mcdonald about a week ago on the Brantley place. four miles from Selma.
 Mcdonald was found with his skull crushed in at the entrance to a ravine in the Brantley quarter and suspicion fell on Sam Randall and others, it be- ing alleged that Jealousy was at the bot tom of the crime. In all eight negroes of whom five were women, were arrest ed and the hour of the preliminary was set by Justice Lloyd for 9:30 o'clock this morning. Long before that hour the road leading from Brantley's quarter was thronged with wagons containing me- groes en route to the trial and when tho court opened there was a sea of black faces in the court room.
 City Attorney Shafer acted as Solici- tor and had charge of the prosecution. The cases against Mamie. Emma and Buhla Grant and against Henrietta Wood and George Brantley were nolle pressed. All the defendants were acquit- ted.

 "If quoted correctly. Mir. Bryan has undergone a change of heart, a change of mind and a change of opinion reia- tive to Judge Parker with the very re- cent past. I cannot now believe that Mir Bryan intended his speech as even a criticism of the New York jurfst.
 ''No man has been a better friend to MT. Bryan than have I; no man has fol- lowed his leadership with more unvary- ins devotion; no man could feel more deeply interested in his success than was I in the campaign four years ago; and let me say in this connection that Mir Bryan desired Judge Alton B. Parker as his running mate at that time.
 MT. Bryan and I had discussed Judge Parker frequently. When the questiou

shouts, drew their swords, fired their
matchlocks, and surged forward. About
a dozen swordsmen made a desperate
rush in the direction of Col. Macdonald
and a small knot of officers. Four Thi-
betans attacked Mr.. Gambler, the CORE
spondent of the London Daily Mail, but
Col. Macdonald seized a rifle and shot
down two of them at a few yards and
another officer killed the other two, thus
saving Mr.. Gamblers life. Those of the
Thibetans who tried to climb the wall
were met with a terrible magazine rifle

and steadily, though followed by a hail
of bullets. A mountain battery was
brought into action and tore the re-
treating lines with shrapnel. A terrible
trail Of. dead and dying marked the line
of march. At length the last wounded,
limping Thibetan turned the corner,

grim tragedy where the best of the Thi-
betan army had persisted.
