Selma, December 30.-(Special )-Ye ester
day evening there was a cutting scrape
and had the knife penetrated but half
an inch further 1t would have resulted
in the certain death of c. e. Armfeld
an engineer on a switch engine for the
Southern railway Mr.. John Jones welded
the knife that came so near resulting ia
tally and made a wound in the throat
of Mr. Armfield that extended from the
center back to the ear and required eigh-
teen stitches to sew it up. The juSular
vein was just grazed by the knife and
a fraction deeper with the knife and the
vein would have been severed. Mr.. Jones
claims that he was called the one epithet
which no gentleman can take without
resentment. Mr.. Armfield's side of the
difficulty could not be obtained.
Captain Miller of the police force, ar
rested Mr.. Jones and put him under
bond. This morning, Sheriff Blackwell's
deputy, Mr.. Townsend, also arrested Mr..
Jones and placed him under $500 bond
to appear before the grand jury at its

ing allowing the edge of the bell to rest
on the coping on the side of the tower
part of the coping was pushed out and
fell to the ground below. Some of the
bricks examined disclosed that they We're
made of little, If anything, but sand, only
a small particle of cement and gravel
entering into their composition as sup
posed and agreed upon by the contrac-
tors. 1t is likely that not expecting any
weight to be put upon the bricks at the
top of the building they were not made
of the required strength, but the ques-
ton is whether or not the rest of the
bricks are made likewise. Quite good
deal of comment has been INDUCED in
over the matter and an investigation
may result.

After Soldier Money.

Ben Carter of Washington, formerly of
Birmingham, is expected here tomorrow
to take up the matter of trying to get
more money for the Alabama soldiers
who served in the Spanlsh-Ameriean
war than they have yet received
This money is said to be due for
time between leaving home and mus
ter in. Mr.. Carter was given charge of
the matter by authority of a bill passed
by the last legislature. Mr.. Thomas H.
Clark, superintendent of the law library
in Washington, who is In the city, Is
also said to be interested in the case.
The trouble of the Alabama National
Guard concerning its pay for the en-
campment at Birmingham seems to lie
In the failure of Dsbursing officer John
S. Callaghan of Mobile to properly make
out the papers. The department requires
that these pay rolls are to be made out
quadruple, when they were only sent in
In duplicate. The money, about $15, 000
can be had when the papers are in shape
which ought to be now pretty soon.
1t does not seem that there is anything
wrong about the Manassas trip other than
there are some claims against a number
of men of southern regiments, including
the Alabamians, which have not been ad-
justed. 1t is reported that the Alabama
boys are not responsible for anything Of
the kind, and that Col. w w. Brandon,
who commanded the regiment will be
able, II he has not already done so, to
make a clean sheet for his men in every
particular

Grave Opened.

A mysterious story comes from Fayette,
over In Fayette county. 1t is of a grave
that has been opened after sixty years of
peace. 1t is in what is known as the
Van Hoose grave yard, and is on the place
of Circuit Clerk d. o. Mcconnell. The
robbers opened the grave and dug down
to the bottom, throwing out the dirt.
Parties passing at night say there was
no disturbance, but found 1t open the next
morning. 1t is not stated who was buried
in the tomb, and possibly it is not known
The place is in an isolated spot in the
woods anu any one could have gone about
1t and not been seen from the house or
the road. pick and shovel were used
to remove the dirt.

PAPER TRADE IN TURKEY.
In 1903 $4oo,ooo Worth of the Ar ticle for Making Cigarettes
 Was Imported.

In the year 1903 Turkey in Europe imported paper and cardboard to the value of about $5O0,000 and cigarette pa- per to the value of $400,000. Austria and Italy were the chief sources of supply. The German consul at Saloniki says large quantities of all sorts of paper, including wall paper, enter that port for distribution throughout Turkey. This paper trade is in Austrian hands. Diff ferent manufacturers in Austria com- bine in sending out commercial travel CTS to Turkey, one traveller showing the products of several Austrian paper mills. The German consul general at Constantinople, in a report to his gov- ernment, says that Turkey is one of England's best markets for cotton yarns and cotton piece goods, taking in 1903 nearly $2,500,000 worth of cotton yarns and 15,70O,0O0 worth of cotton piece goods. Within the last few years Italy has greatly increased her exports of cot- ton textiles to Turkey and is becoming a strong competitor of England in that market. If American manufacturers of cotton goods were to give energetic and intelligent attention to the Turkish mar ket, they would probably find it good one.

BLIND GIRLS GOOD WIVES.

Mrs. Lena Osborn, chairman of the lady board of managers of the Social and Mutual Advancement Association of the Blind in Chicago, free organization, is blind woman herself. She says that the life of blind person is not the great misery that it is generally thought by seeing people, and it is the purpose of the organization to show that even blind people may have a happy time of it.

 FOLD FUNERAL IN A TENT.
Big Canvas Put to Many Strange Uses Serves as Church to
 Mourners.

Tn Kendall county, H., there is big canvas tent that has been made to serve for an odd mixture of purposes. For many years it covered regulation saw dust ring in which there were all kinds of performances by man and beast. On other occasions it was made use of for revivals, and has been hauled around the country from place to place for many purposes. This year Aurora bloomed out as Chautauqua town, and the tent sheltered big audiences intent on hearing lectures, recitations, and speeches from well-known takers. Music of all kinds has at odd times filled the big inclosure. However, the oldest purpose to which 1t was ever put came when Nels o. Cassem, well-known Kendall county man, fell from his wagon as he was driving along the pub lie highway and broke his neck. Cas- sem was a well-known character, . farmer who in all of that section was known as the "king of the Norwegians." He was known to be worth several hun- dred thousand dollars in valuable lands. and the funeral promised to be larger than any church in Yorkville or Aurora would hold. One of the sons resorted to . unique expedient. He hired the big tent and stretched it out on one of the beautiful meadows over which his fa- ther had roamed for so many years. and the funeral sermon was thus preached under canvas.

TORTOISE FIGHT IS FUNNY
Battle Between Shell-Covered An imals May Continue Long Time
 Without Injury to Either.

"Listen," said the farmer, leaning on his hoe. From the next field came a eound of rapping, sound as of sharp :nocFs on door. What is that?" said the city man. "A tortoise fight" the farmer answered. Well go and see 1t. 7" They made their way toward the rap ping sound, relates the Baltimore Her aid, and in a little while they came upon two box tortoises that were fighting hard. The creatures fought in strange way. They made at one another with their heads protruded, but, at the mo- ment of collision, each tried to use his front flap for shield, and the result of this prudence was that not the heads but only the shells of the tortoises hurtled together. There was bang. Then the fighters backed off and prepared for an other round. The two men watched them till the spectacle became weari- some Then they returned to the pota- to patch.

A WORD WITH THE GIRLS
Learn to Do the Little Things That Give Enjoyment to Yourself
 and Others.

It is the girl who does things in this world who is attractive, both to men and to her own sex, which last couEts little, too, in the long run. You may not be able to do great things, to paint great pictures or to sing in grand opera, but you can learn to make bright little things for yourself and your friends and perhaps the light catchy" airs of the day so that your friends will enjoy them, and if you can't do anything else cultivate the art of talking brightly and of being sympathetic, says Good Housekeep. ing.
 Every girl can do one thing we'll if she will only take the trouble to find out what that thing is. The difficulty Is that she often looks in the opposite direction; she wants to do something great and showy or nothing at all. Bui there are other talents within reach if she will only look, and these talents may be such comfort to her in her dark hours that they will make life better and happier both for herself and those about her.
 How the world likes a cheerful plucky girl who makes brave fight and hides her skeleton in closet in- stead of folding her hands and whin. ing because things don't come her way the girl who puts her own griefs as much as possible aside and who takes wholesome interest in life-is the one who wins out every time.

SHE WAS ALL PREPARED.
So That When Robson Sneezed His Good Wife Was Right There
 with the Remedy.

MT. Hobson sneezed and Mrs. Hobson remarked that he must have caught cold. MT. Hobson is one of those men who hate to have fuss made over them. He has been trying to impress that fact on his wife's mind for 20 years. relates the Chicago Daily News.
 What makes you think I've taken cold ?" he demanded, irritably.
 You sneezed," replied Mrs. Hob son.
 "That doesn't signify" He paused.
 But it does signify It is one of the first signs of cold. You went out with the ashes this morning without thing round your neck"
 .''I always do"
 And now you've caught cold"
 MT. Hobson returned to the reading of his newspaper without replying. In a few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
 Henry"
 ''Well?"
 You've got to do something for that cold"
 Cant I sneeze without being accused of cold? Is there any law against sneezing, or do have to get permit from the health department?"
 ''I don't see anything foolish in taking cold in time," Mrs. Hobson said, calm ly. eff you would let me put your feet in hot water and mustard, and get you to bed"
 Mr. Hobson resumed his paper, and as he did so he felt an annoying tickling in his nose. He struggled heroically for nearly half minute. Then he sneezed again.
 "There-" said Mrs. Hobson, in melan- choly triumph. You've sneezed again!"
 Eve sneezed twice, and Pm not ashamed of it." Hobson replied, coldly. eff feel like it, I'm going to sneeze again. I'm"
 Three successive and violent sternu- tations interrupted him.
 'Now will you let me heat that water, Henry?"
 "No, thank you"
 "Will you take some quinine, then?" "No."
 Mrs Hobson sighed.
 "Sneezes," MT. Hobson explained, are convulsions caused by an irritation of sensitive membrane. The irritation may be caused by the introduction of any small particle of foreign matter, such as a grain of dust. Snuff has been known to produce sneeze; so has pepper. You can get up a fairly good imitation by tickling the nostrils with straw. It is not, as you imagine, an infallible indi- cation of cold"
 "I suppose" said Mrs Hobson, reflect lively, "that you would object to an onion poultice, too?"
 Hobson rose from his chair and started for the door With his hand on the knob he paused to say, with dignity: "I'm going up to my room now. I've got some work to do, so guess had better be alone for the rest of the evening"
 Hobson sneezed twice on the way up- stairss Then the door of his den closed explosively. Fifteen minutes later the door opened and Hobson's voice called down the stairs: "Maria!"
 "What is it. dear?" take hot foot bath suppose it won't do any particular harm, whether Ive got cold or not Would it be troubling you too much to heat the water?"
 Mrs. Hobson's voice replied cheer fully:
 "It's all ready now, dear. I've heated 1t and got some blankets nice and hot. When you're ready I'll bring them up." A WORn WITH THE GIRL c.
