VERDICT REACHED IN
 FAMOUS NEWTON CASE

Montgomery, January 1o.-(special,)- The fate of Harry Newton, the Fillmore county murderer, has been settled by a jury of his peers and returned to the court, but the prisoner has not yet learned it.
 The trial of Newton has been one of the most notable ever held in Fillmore county He was charged with the mur- ter of Samuel Lacey on October IS last and the details of this murder as publish ed were so horrible as to shock the en- tire community.
 Evidence tended to show that Newton invited Lacey to his home for the pur pose of taking a drink. A quarrel fol- lowed, and Newton chopped his victims head open with an axe, and threw the body under bed in the room. Newton then went to the probate judge and told of his crime, and offered to surrender, but the judge thinking him drunk sent him to the sheriff
 Newton failed to report to the sheriff, but several days later was captured in Georgia. A reward had been offered for his capture. The trial of the case began last Thursday and the case did not reach the jury until 1;45 o'clock last night. A verdict was returned at an early hour this morning.
 It was ordered sealed and tomorrow morning Judge Winter will order 1t open ed While no one knows positively the contents of the verdict, it is generally rumored that the death sentence has been imposed. Nothing less than life impris- onment is anticipated

DOWIE DISCUSSES
 NEGRO QUESTION
THINKS WHITE RACE IS SUPER IoR TO THE BLACK, BUT THAT THEY ARE BROTHERS BEFORE GOD.

San Antonio. Tex, January 10.-John Alexander Dowie and his six deacons, leave tomorrow for San Francisco. on his trip to Australia. He attended the open ing of a hotel at a nearby resort this morning and entered his protest against the lavish silver service and the stuffed pig on the menu.
 This afternoon he addressed about 5000 people in local auditorium. He wanted to make himself clear on the race ques- tion. He said the Anglo-Saxon race is superior to the negro race, but that there was a time when the black brother was superior to the white, and the white men should be just to the negro, and endeavor to lift him up. Whatever the difference in race might be on earth the white men and black men are brothers before God.
 Dowie found fault with the southern people, in that they were too sleepy and slow, not up-to-date, and he ridiculed the slow time by the railroad whose guest he has been during the past several days His only reference to the prospective es- tablishment of Zion City and plantation on the Texas coast was contained in a statement that he might at some near date become a neighbor of the people of San Antonio.

SOUTHERN KY. AND
 L.& N ARE AT PEACE
COMPROMISE BETWEEN ROADS ENDS THE DISPUTE IN THE KNOXVILLE DISTRICT EIGHT INJUNcTIoNs DISSOLVED.

Knoxville. Tenn, January 10.-The fight which has been waged for months in this vicinity between the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville roads, has been brought to an end by a com promise that will result in eight injunc- tions held by the roads against each other being dissolved.
 All disputed cases are covered in this withdrawal except a valuable right of way in South Knoxville which $ now in the hands of the United States cir- cult court of appeals in Cincinnati, ap- pealed from Judge c. D. Clark's de- cision, which gave the Southern the ad- vantage. Eight months ago the Louis vlle and Nashville began the construc- tion of line from Jellico, Tenn, to Knoxville to connect with the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern road here which is owned by the Louisville and Nashville and give that road another through line to the south.
 At all stages the enterprise has been fought by the Southern, but the com promise ends all trouble. Several in- functions were brought about through the Louisville and Nashville's attempt to reach leading local manufactories by a belt line. The papers in this cofnpro- mise will be exchanged by the roads to- morrow

MANY BAD DRAFTS
 CAUSE AN ARREST
w E. JOHNSON HELD BY THE Po- LICE ON CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE- TENsES.

W. F. Johnson. a white man. evidently about 40 years old, has been arrested by Detectives Bode1er and Hamilton and I1 in the city Jail on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. He is want ed by the authorities in Nashville. but the local police will hold him until he answers charges here.
 Johnson came here from Nashville re- gently, and it is charged that he has ob- tained something over $350 in money from various people in the city under false pre- lenses. He is accused of getting a number of drafts cashed which were not good
 It seems, from what the detectives state that Johnson Is very smooth talker, and a man whom the people naturally like at first sight. After knowing him day or two, the police state that a man will do him any favor he asks.
 II is alleged that for some time he has been negotiating with the Southern Con- struction company to become a partner in the firm. One of the members of the firm endorsed drafts to the amount of about s200, part of which he had to pay.
 He was negotiating with L. c. Brink 4 Hcyois pitSANeHN pi tAe toipduys anu Charles A. Koerner, also member of the firm.
 It seems that in anticipation of being a member of the firm, he had Roberts and Sons to do some work for him. and he paid them with 8 draft for about twice the amount he owed them. The firm gave him change, so 1t is said, The Baldwin Lime, Sand and Cement company Is said to be about $15 loser by him, and the Stag sa- ' loon Is reported as having cashed a draft amounting to $10
 When arrested on Nineteenth street between Third and Fourth avenues, by Detectives Hamilton and Bodeker, the man9s said they were right in locking him up, that the Jail was the proper place for men. who gamble. Johnson seems very cool oyer the affair. and states that he has rich relatives who will settle these claims against him. He admitted the correctness of the charges when arrested. He states that he has been gambling considerably lately. He has engaged William E. Fort as his attorney, and will try to effect a settlement.
 , After the local matter has been settled, Johnson will be held for the Nashville au- thorities They have written a letter to Chief Wier asking that Johnson be ar rested. and stating that they would send for him as soon as he was under arrest.

ANOTHER TICKET
 OFFICE IS NEEDED Business Men Anxious for Es- tabIishment ofuptown Branch PROSPECTS VERY BRIGHT President Jackson of the Commercial Club Has Taken Matter Up With
 the Various Railroad compa-
 nles-cItlzens Talk.
PROSPECTS VERY BRIGHT

The movement providing for the esta.b- Birmingham by the railroads Is looked upon with favor by the citizens and the travelling public in general. Many think that city ticket office would greatly re- lieve the congested condition which ex- ists now at the union passenger station, and express themselves as being anxious to see such an office established.
 Business men say that the establish ment of the uptown ticket office Is a greater necessity at this time than new passenger depot. After purchasing tick ct 1t only requires a short time to board a train. The congestion at the depot is caused to great extent by travellers hay ing to wait to be served at the ticket of- flee although a large corps of ticket sell CTS are on duty.
 Under the present conditions a man ar irving at the station ten minutes before the departure of his train finds 1t diff flcult matter to secure a ticket and get aboard his train before 1t leaves.
 President F. M. Jackson of the Com ? mercial club states that he has had the matter of establishing an uptown ticket office up with the railroads for the past few weeks. and he says he believes the office will be established at an early date. When this is done, he said, fit will at least afford temporary relief. With the establishment of the additional office we will be all right for the time beirg''
 w. J. Cameron, the chairman of the club to look into the matter of new de- pot. 5aid
 said:
 "Should the railroads establish an office in the business section where tickets could be bought for all points. it would, at least, be a temporary relief. I would like very much to see some action taken in this di- rection. Something should be done to re- lieve the congested condition at the sta- tion, and this would be the quickest plan for relief. Of course, we would all like very much to see new station, or exten- sion made to the old one, but that Is question to be determined upon later. What we need is temporary relief"
 c. H. Estes is of the opinion that the movement is a good one. He said: An uptown ticket office has now become a necessity. The other day I went to the station few minutes before my train fenced great difficulty In procuring tick et on account of the limited facilities at the station. I hope some action will be taken immediately to relieve the situa- tion."
 The railroads will 1t Is said decide at an early date whether or not the uptown of flee will be established at any time in the near future.

ABOUT PAYM ENTs.
MT. T. H. Motion Makes Statement to
 Fifth Avenue Property Owners.

To the Property Owners on Fifth Avenue!
 At the last meeting of the city council a resolution was offered and adopted, pro- yiding for the mayor to select some disin- terested person to circulate petitions for the purpose of getting an expression from the property owners: First, whether they want this avenue paved or not paved {; second, if it is to be paved what Kind or material Is desired
 The resolution was so amended as to ex- clude nonresident property owners from having a voice or expression in the mat ter As to this amendment. I am sure the city council will reconsider. and not be guilty of such discrimination; for such e policy would certainly not encourage out side people to invest their money in Bir- mlngham.
 I hope that every one of you will sign these petitions, and thus express your wishes in regard to this much discussed and agitated subject.
 To those of you who have authorized me to represent you. I wish to ask that you drop me a note expressing your wish, for me to further act for you, and give me full authority that can not be dis- puted.
 As to bitumnous macadam. have here tofore stated my objections to this kind of pavement. I am now more thoroughly convinced than ever that the tar m thie pavement will evaporate and the soft limestone will soon wear and grind into dust.
 It is scarcely denied that the macadam pavement now on this avenue Is good and sufficient for a driveway, but all agree that the dust is bad it is. therefore. for the people to say whether they want to pay out. according to the city engineers 8 estimate, $500 to keep down the dust. This estimate does not include the cost of putting in new water pipe, gas pipe. etc. It will be we'll to stop and consider that the interest on $5O0o0, which regard as a low estimate of the total cost, would more than pay for watering this avenue every day in the year.
 There are on this avenue, from Nine teenth to Twentysecond streets. FPS lots. each with frontage fifty 50 feet. If the above estimate Is correct, 1t will be seen that each lot if assessed equally, will be taxed S3e06 62 It means that this expense added to taxes. repairs, etc, will consume more than one years income from the property that is rented: and where it is occupied by the owners, it will prove an expensive luxury. Respectfully.

 This island lies off the coast of Nicarau- ga. but is a dependency of Colombia.

 VIII Not Submit to Dictation.
 Russia will certainly not submit to dic- tation at the hands of any power as to the protection of her legitimate interests in Manchuria. Negotiations are in progress between St. Petersburg and Pekin in the effort to reach an agreement adequately protecting the special or predominatng influence exercised by Russia in Manchur- is- and which has been recognized by all the powers signatory to the peace protocol verbally, or in writing.
 At the time of the signing of that con- vention, it was Russla's hope that she could withdraw from Manchuria about the last of October and leave the protec- ton of her interests 70 China In the meantime, however, 1t was clearly demon strated that the guarantees offered by China were wholly insufficient, and 1t be- came necessary for the Russian govern ment to ask for additional guarantees"
 Until these have been arranged. the Rus sian government can not be expected to withdraw from Manchuria, and thus men ace the many Russian lives and forfeit the s350.ooo00O which have been spent there in the civilization and development of that province.
 Russia Ready and Anxlous.
 ''Russsia is ready and anxious to stimu- late the development of foreign commerce in Manchuria The growth of trade means the success of the Siberian railway. Rus sia believes, however. that this commer- cial development Is possible without the establishment of a system of political In fiuence In the open ports.
 Russias political influence in this ter ritory which lies on her borders Is and must be considered predominant, and it's effectiveness would be impaired by the creation of any form of foreign political influence in the shape of extra territorial government, or money control, and regu lation of certain districts within these open ports, similar to conditions such as, for example, exist at Shanghai.
 But no trouble Is anticipated on this score, as the American-Chines commer- cial treaty providing for the setting aside of certain districts in Mukden and Antung as places of International residence and trade. and the provisions for their regu- lation is not considered as tending toward the establishment of system like that surrounding foreign interests at Shanghai
 Russia uoeS not propose to uiscuss ti.o negotiations now in progress. But 1t should be realized she Is availing herself of every reasonable means to reach an agreement by diplomacy.
 Tt will be an interesting bit of informa- ton to the Russian government to know that the primary object of the Tokio ne gotiations so far as Japan Is concerned, Is the protection of American and Eng fish interests in the far east Russia had supposed that Japan was influenced by less unselfish motives"
