Card by Ad. Wimhn.

Ad Wimbs, colored, a leading Black and Tan Republican of Greensboro, has of the suffrage Association. which ti were adopted at meeting held here this week, which shows him to be for aualified suffrage. The card says:
 supposed candidacy for delegate to the National convention. l did not seek the honor and was not a candidate. I would have served, however, if my cleo tion could have been brought about by the unity of the three referees. My personal admiration for Mir. Truman Aldrich and sense of gratitude to MT. w. F. Aldrich would not justify me in partisan action as between the three room which has been in opera asked for the election of his brother believed 1t to be right that MT. Tru- man Aldrich be elected.
 T am glad, however, that my sup posed candidacy brought forth the Suf frage Association with its resolutions. I have not aided the Suffrage Associa- ton in its efforts to return the people of Alabama to old conditions, and so long as l am sane man I never will I have never believed that the su- Overthrow the suffrage Clause and believed that the money being gather ed could be used to a better purpose Suppose the Supreme Court did over throw the suffrage clause of the con stitution. l wuld like to know what benehcient result would that be to the colored men of Alabama. Why should we want to return to the era of haIIot box stuffing and the rule of fraud , What well thinking colored man would desire to see his rights subject to the rule of the masses of his own people. Regardless of what others might think or say, I say just here from all the experience I have had In church, so- cieties and politics, that I would not. if I could, turn Hale county over to the rule of the majority of its male inhabitants and neither would I. If I could turn Alabama over to a major Ity of it's male inhabitants. The step has been taken for qualified suffrage and there Is going to be no backward step. Wrongs of course will be com referees, and as MT. W. F. Aldrich @hly CT electorate, but as time moves on the

SheIlaah an Trans.

The familiar story of a mouse being trapped by live oyster. though curious is not the only instance of the kind. The great naturalist, Frank Buckland, re- cords the story of a rat which was caught by the same apparently harmless shellfsh. Some years ago a common rail was found dead on the shores near Pen zance. It's beak was tightly caught in the clutches of an oyster. which was still alive. The bird and oyster were removed and mounted. An even more queer case was that of a small salt water fish which was found in pool in the rocks caught firmly by an immense mussel. One would think that the mussel must have been pretty sharp in closing his shell. A story is told of a colored man who was caught in similar fashion. He put his tongue into half opened oyster to get the juice. Jupiter, when released, was chaffed by his friends. why. the oyster couldn't hurt you." said one. flor he hasn't any teeth" No replied Jupiter. "mebbe not but de Lawd knows dat he have tur- rible hard gums.'

RAID ON POOL ROOM
ATTACHES ARRESTED BY POLICE
 OF BIRMINGHAM.
Action of the omcers Follows Receipt of Affirmation of the Decision of Chancellor Carmichael. Matters VIII Be Further
 Contested.

Birmingham. May 1L-tspeciaL)- Chief of Police W. B. Wier this afternoon directed the arr rest of attaches of the pool tion here for some time. Two men em- ployed in the establishment, C. E; Berry and P. Callfnan, who claimeu to be working for the Old Dominion Teie- graph Company, were placed under bond on the charge of violating the city ordinances passed last year pro- hibiting the posting or calling or horse horse in nth the a city of Birmingham.
 The chief of police gave notice that Inas any attempt to conduct business ed and locked up. The. action of the police was taken this afternoon on ne- ing notified of the receipt of afnrma- . ton by the register In chancery in the clerk of the Supreme Court. This was an affirmation of the decision of Chan cellor Carmichael, of the Northwestern chancery division, who dissolved the injunction issued by Judge Coleman, of the Circuit Court of Jefferson coun- ty restraining the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and the police from arrest ing. the PropriIetors or or agents gents or pa-

 proceeded to make the arrest. The arr rest was not made until the first race supposed to have been run at Morris Park, New York, in which Careless was the winner Out of Reach second, and Mai Hanlon third, this race to be the corpus delicti of the case made out against the defendants. F: E. Black burn, one of the counsel for the Old Dominion Telegraph Company, to-day gave out the following statement:
 We will afford opportunity for arr rests in order to test the validity. of the ordinances in the common law courts. The court of first resistance is, of course the inferior criminal court. Our special attack will be made upon those sections of the ordinance prohib- iting the announcing, calling off the progress and declaring the results of horse races, and making 1t an offense for the public to gather at places where such results. etc. are announced. Our contention will be that these sections do not connect such announcements with betting on horse races, and that the announcements are in themselves matter of information to which the public is entitled"
 The pool room was crowded this af- ternoon when the officers went there but no effort was made to arrest any of the spectators or participants. The orders given by Chief Wier to the eff feet that any effort to ru nthe estab- lishment would result in the operators being locked up in jail without the privilege of making bond Is being com piled with.

Alleged De.erter. Arrested.

Some deserters from the ship J. D. Everett were arrested by Sheriff John Powers this morning. Their names are John Williams, Sebastian Justo, Vincent Delgoda. John Ahi Frank Barrios. Le- carain Ernesto. Fillipe Vincente. There arc three others still at large.
 The British ship J. D. Verette, from which they were charged with desertion, arrived at Port of Mobile about April 24. The event leading to their arrest fol- lows:
 Upon arrival of the vessel at Mobile port, the seaman understood they were to be discharged at any port in the United States, and demanded their discharge upon arrival here, which the captain did not grant. The seamen state that sub sequently, about May 1, the captain of the vessel ordered them ashore with their dunnage, and refused to pay them wages due. The attorneys for the sailors brought lible proceedings in the United States Court before Judge Toulmin for their wages. The court ordered that the case be turned over to the British vice consul for settlement.
 In the meantime United States Immi- grant Inspector Major A. J. You, notified the British vice consul that these men could not be legally landed in the United States as alien seaman without notice to the immigrant officials and their rights to land having been determined by that official. No steps were taken by the captain of the vessel to present these men for the consideration of the United States officials.
 The case was laid before the United States district attorney and the United States Grand Jury for a violation of the immigration laws of the United States. It is evident the arrests today for de- sertion was the result of the action taken by the United States immigrant inspector and in order to evade the im- migration laws which preclude the land ing of aliens without notice to the immi- grafton authorities
