BX CLINTON ROSS

Miss Churchill sighed. gave the gir,
some silver. and went to her room with
headache.
A few days after there came rumors
of an uprising of a certain Mendez
against the Presidents authority, and
then with the suddenness of a tropical
storm came the events of the drama,
which Miss Churchill was never to for
get
She heard of it first at breakfast The
army of the rebellion, led by two Eng
lish adventures, were at the gates of
the old walled town, and even now she
heard the roaring of cannon. She
clapped her hands.
Why, this will be jolly a real
siege
You'll be safe here said the Consul.
a fair haired man of 40 He was
widower. and had felt for some time
this interesting woman.
"oh, yes. we are quite safe. quite
safe" Lord Rendell said, with perfect
faith In the flag that waved above
him.
Still, l should like to have an Eng
lish or American ship in the harbor,"
Lady Rendell remarked.
Why. Mary. they don't do ANYTHING:
Just run about and shout a great deal.
1 have heard all about it," Miss
Churchill put in.

Forsyth, land he has a wholesome re-
spect for our guns"
'Oh, Louise Lord Rendell remark
ed, L was looking over the last Amer
lean paper and 1 saw the engagement
Of that fellow Bates to the little widow
Funny things, these American Society
Notes."
Rendell dearly liked to tease his sis
ter-in-law, who said nonchalantly. "Oh
indeed but she leaned low over the
coffee.
The cathedral bell began to toll. ac-
centuating the roll of guns, while cries
from the street reached them.

rising; much. So I must be going.
You all must keep close to the house"
A servant at this moment appeared
at the door.
Pardon. Excellency, his Highness.

Wonder what the old duffer wants
OF me-our protection, perhaps"
And he went out to his office, Rem
dell following him. The ladies at the
window saw little row of soldiers and
the Presidents carriage.
Presently Rendell returned, all ex-
citement.
Forsyth is acting for Blunt. the
American Consul, in his absence" he
said. THE President doesn't want 10
onend us, you may fancy. He has cap
tured three men and purposes to shoot
them because he thinks they are two
Englishmen who are directing Men

traordinary coincidence"
Lord Rendell lacked tact to the su-
premest degree. do you recognize the
writing?" and he handed Lady RendelI
a piece Of dirty paper
Let me see" said Miss Churchill,
looking over her sisters shoulder. and
then she grew pale.
Its very like Kit Bates writing.
Yes. it's his signature"
Yes, it is" cried Lady Rendell.
They had read:

 As soon as the notice of swope's death reached President J. M. Carmi- chael of the State Convict Board, he wrote State Mine Inspector J. M. Gray at Birmingham and asked for the facts in the case. Mir. Gray had a report made on the accident He wrote President Carmichal that the man stepped into an air course from the main entry at e point not fre- quently used by the men. The trolley wire for the inside haulage system was exposed for short period and Swope's forehead came into contact with 1t, death was Instantaneous.
 Mfr. Gray says that the wires should be shielded. and boxed up so they can- not be reached. Warden P. J. Rogers was notified of the suggestion of In- spector Gray and will give them at- tention. This closes the incident.

HARDEN, HAS ESCAPED RELIEVED TO HAVE LEFT MUL-
 BERRY SWAMP.
Reward of s1so Offered for the Appre- { henFton of the Negro Who Killed Wilson Davenport at
 Maplesvil1e Sunday.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Oct. 31.
 The negro. Jim Harden, who yester- day afternoon shot and killed Wilson Davenport at MapIesville, is thought to have escaped from Mulberry Swamp. Two deputies came to Selma this morn ing to confer with F. M. Blackwell, Sheriff of Dallas County, as to the ad- visibility of using bloodhounds on the trail, but were advised that owing to the very dry weather and the trail be- ing old. the dogs would be useless and the idea was given up.
 A description of the murderer has been furnished the officers here with the request that they keep a sharp lookout for him. A reward of $50 Is offered for Harden's apprehension.
 
 This afternoon about o'clock, when several thousand people were on the streets, tent of the carnival company caught fire and caused great excite ment. An alarm was turned in and the fire engines caused even greater com motion as the crowd were not all aware of the extent or place of the confiagra- tion and thronged the crossing of Ala bama and Broad Streets until 1t was necessary for the police to clear a way for electric cars and vehicles. The loss was insignificant.
 fire alarm was turned in from the Southern Railway yards this morning which was quickly answered by. the Fire Department, but before reaching the scene the Department was ordered to return owing to the inaccessibility of the fire, 1t being a car of cotton, out Of reach. The damage was consider able. but not a total loss.
 This norniuO Mavor At1rta. n. nounced that he would make the fine of I. White $45 for trying to take an engine away from an engineer and fire man on the Southern Railway yards last Friday. A young man named Johns who was in the audience ex- pressed his surprise by a long and loud whistle. The Mayor ordered the young man brought before him and told him that his whistle cost him just $5 and ten days. .,.r... ....,..- s The Selma Carnival now in progress Is for the benefit of the. Odd Fellows order, instead of the Orphans Home, as was reported in Mondays Adverti- ser. The trustees of the Orphans Home considered the matter some time ago, but decided that 1t was not judi cious to permit the use of the Orphans Home in connection with street shows.

Dlncharwed from RuIe.

Judge Samuel E Greene and ban iel A, Greene. from the bench of the criminal court this morning handed down an order discharging The Bir- mingham News from rule nisi which had been issued against 1t and others.
 The rule was based upon news items and interviews and editorials concerning indictment which had been returned by the county grand jury.
 The court held that the news items and interviews were permissible, but that the editorials were technical form of contempt. It was apparent, however, says the court, that the editorials were not written with a view of hindering or obstructing the course of justice, and for that reason the defendants are discharged from the rule.
 The order defines clearly the pre- negatives of the press in connection with judicial affairs. and is of gener- al interest.

 Inspector 1Cochrane sends pictures of him and declares that the man un- der arrest in St. Louis IS positively not the New York. Harry who was here when the safeblowing and mur- ders were committed.
 The information has been turned over to Colonel W. H. Denson. who is Frank Duncan's attorney. wheth- CT it will be of any avail or not Tn handling the efforts to get a commu- tation of sentence for Duncan remains to be seen.

When I have done that have discharged my duty. If there are conflicts as to the succession, the courts must settle them."
