TO BUILD NEW PARK J. G. ROSSMAN WILL REHABILI- TATE BL0EMFONTAINE. Atlanta Man Interested in Plans to Give Montgomery an Up-tO-date
 Suburban Amusement
 Resort.

If plans of J. G. Rossman. of Atlanta, who was in Montgomery yesterday. materialtze. the Capital City of Alabama will have a park and amusement place second to none in the South
 Mir. Rossman is probably one of the most expert electrical engineers in the business and is so recognized over the entire coun- try. He organized the Ponce de Leon Amusement Company, of Atlanta, which is a pleasure resort in the suburbs of that city and has been an immense success. He pro- poses to establish a similar place in the suburbs of Montgomery and he has back of him some of the most influential busi- ness men of the city.
 Mr. Rossman, when seen yesterday. said that he had been figuring with Montgomery persons interested for some weeks and a deal by which Bloemfontaine was to be made one of the finest parks In the South was practically completed. He believed that the details would be closed in a few days and by the middle of next week. a force of workmen would be busily engaged at Bloemfontaine in putting in Improvements to cost S5O.0OO
 The Montgomery Street Railway officials had been seen, he said, and had agreed to put In a double track to the park. secure satisfactory transportation facilities and grant the lease of the land to the park company.
 The attractions which Mir Rossman puts forward are noted throughout the South for their cleanliness. Everything is to be high class and not the slightest objection can be raised on account of morality or vulgarity HIS resorts are sources of untold joy for children as well as grown-up people.

The motive for the suicide of Miss Marietta Porter. 9 years old of Milford. Ohio. who was visiting the family of her brother. Edward F. Porter, draughts- man who lives at the corner of Summit and Reuben Streets, Highland Park, has completely baffled the friends and rela- lives of the young woman.
 At 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon with e well directed shot from a 3s-caiibre pistol, the heart of Miss Porter was pierced. killing her instantly. Her own finger pulled the trigger. but the cause of her rash act may never be known. The tragedy ocurred in an outhouse at the home of her brother.
 Mir. Porter, her brother. who is em- ployed at the Western of Alabama Rail- road machine shops. is leaving nothing undone to ascertain the cause of the deed. No word, no sign. no message was left by the girl. MT. Porter is con- strained to believe that the deed was done with deliberatton. g
 According to his statements, the young woman was in excellent health and was in no financial difficulties nor had she a love affair calculated to cause such terrible act. The daughter of William F.

At breakfast yesterday morn ing MT. Porter said his sister appeared to be unusually bright and vivacious. After the suicide had been committed he thought this vivaciousness was un- natural. Immediately after breakfast Miss Porter visited the Highland Park postofice and stroiied around the neigh borhood. Returning to the cottage of her brother, she worked on an embreider-

 The jury in the case after being out a half hour. yesterday morning re- turned this verdict
 The robbery which occurred about ii o'clock on the same night that Rus sell and Driscoll were accused of cracking the safe of the Montgomery theater in E. F. Forbes store on Dex- ter avenue, caused widespread interest, and was at the time attributed to the safe blowers.
 A small hole was smashed in the show window of the jewelry store by means of a muffied brick, and two gold watches were stolen.
 Mccormack was arrested in Nash vile. Tenn, some weeks after the rob bery was committed and one of the watches was found sewed in his cloth ing. Deputy Sheriff S. S. Belser, with the necessary papers, went to Nash vile for Mccormack some days later and brought him to Montgomery
