pounds, and the regimental physicians

 Instant Death.
HE WILL PROBABLY DIE

Jim Taylor. an aged negro we'll dig rer, after being buried beneath brick and mortar for over three hours, was rescued from his grave and is now in a seemingly dying condition at his home on the Red Bridge road.
 The accident occurred at 10 o'clock yesterday morning on the Jackson Ferry road at the place of F. M. Ferry. who runs a dairy about mile and a half from Montgomery.
 Taylor had been hired by Lewis Brown. q we'll digger, to deepen a dry well on the Ferry place. a depth of depth. the water line.
 Taylor a man of about sixty years of age. was doing the excavating while Brown was working on the surface.
 Suddenly the brick curbing gave way and Taylor was hidden from sight. thirty feet below the ground with 2,5o0 pounds of brick, mortar and earth towering him.
 The cries from the negro were pitt full. The bricks had wedged above above him and but little of the weight was resting on his bent body. He yelled and prayed for help. The on- lockers were powerless although the hollow cries from the subterranean uepln9 mOVoO tnelr every nerve.
 MT. Pitts. the dairyman, rushed to the assistance of the negro and notified both the police and fire department.
 The truck company arrived but find ing that they could be of no assistance returned to the city. Chief Browder, however. remained on the scene until the negro was rescued.
 Ropes and buckets were finally pro- cured and the work of excavating by George Staffner and Arthur Dawson, two negroes began. The work was tedious and slow.
 A curious crowd gathered. but none dared to aid in the rescue work.
 When the rescuers neared the buried man. the remaining debris gave way and Tell with force on the negro.
 As the rescuers penetrated into the depths blood was discovered. At 1885 o'clock they reached the crushed form of the we'll digger. He was taken to the surface in a bucket. He was simply bloody mass. but was con- scious on reaching the surface. He tainted soon after.
 Restoratives were used and after re- ceivtng surgical attention was removed to his home on the Red Bridge Road.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.

ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.
 Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-called system tonics. Under such treatment the germ5 of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase and multiply.
 Hyomei Is the only scientific and thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing the germs In the air passages, 1t en- ters the blood with the oxygen. de effectually drives from the system alt traces of catarrhal poison.
 Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. J. s. Nugent, treas urer of the American Union Life In surance Co.,, of New York city, writes: {: "Hyomei has completely cured my daughter of catarrh from which she has been suffering for years.'
 Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers Of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact that E. G. Fowler will agree to refund the money if you say Hyomei has not cured you.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but S1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts A lifetime and if one bottle does not cure, an ex : tra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents.

NEWS OF PENSACOLA
NAVAL VESSELS WILL AGAIN
 GATHER AT FLORIDA PORT.
Target Practice Will Be Carried OutAs \ Formerly, And The Sea Fight CTS Will Remain Fer
 Some Time.

Pensacola, Fla. August 31.-(Special) A telegram from a prominent man in Washington received last night an nounes that a large number of nav al vessels will be sent to Pensacola for rendezvous next year. It will be about the beginning of April before the ships will show up here. The infor- nation was also transmitted that there would be a stay of several weeks of the ships here. and that the regular target practice program would be car- ried out.
 Any port in the world would spend money to get such fleet of ships for rendezvous for several weeks, but the department has recognized the worth of the port of Pensacola and natur- ally sends the ships to the safest an- chorage on the gulf coast There has been no special effort to get the de- pertinent to look into the advantages Of this city. but the highest officials of the navy have been here from time to time and are personally conversant with the many advantages of this port as a drill ground.
 The late arrival of the ships is due to several causes. One of the assigned reasons is that earlier in the year this vicinity is visited by fogs, and these troubles of navigation are encountered on the target range laid out by the navy department two years ago. In March and April such things as fogs are unknown here. and this will afford the naval ships an opportunity to en- gask in target practice without hav- ing\to undergo delays. as have been the case for the past few years.
 The news received here last night would indicate that there will be stay of some months by the fleets, and that one or more of the very latest addi- tions to the United States navy will be among the vessels.
