NAMES FISH EXHIBIT
Passes Through Augusta on Way to
Lewis & Clark Exhibition.

On the BucksDort train which went
through here, Tue sday, was a small
part of the exhibit of the United
States fish com mission which later
VIII no doubt attract the attention of
thousands ut the Lewis & Clark expo
sition
In Is 1oIble-size cans, each holding
20 gallons of iced water, were some
show specimens Of land-locked salmon,
"lbino salmon and Scotch sea trout
from the hatchery at Craige's brook,
near Bucksport. There were less than
80 fish in the lot, the biggest of the
salmon being bat two or three in a
can. The alhino or white salmon, Il
freak fish. will no doubt create much
interest. The Scotch sea trout resem-
bic land-!ockcd salmon quite closely.
The shipment WAS in charge of
Agent LeIlocher of the fish commits
sion car at Nashua. N. H.. thence the
fish will go through to the Pacific
coast. While the train is i'm motion the
movement of the water in the cans Is
nearly or quite sufficient to keep the
water acratcd. But when the cans are
ut rest frequent changing of the water
is necessary for the comfort of the fish,
In fact. the man in charge must be
almost continually on the alert to see
that his tender charges do not lack for
air.
The dOwn-river hatchery has fur
nishcd specimens for nearly all the
big fairs. usually sending specimens of
square-tdil, rainbow and other species
of trout. This year such specimens
can be obtained without coming as far
as Maine-but this State was the only
one to supply show specimens of land
locked salmon.

LUMPKIN CAPTURED.
Negro Ferryman Who Shot MT. Little
 in Jail at Wetumpka.

After a steady hunt throughout the night with posse of deputies and bIoodhounds, Sheriff W. O. Robbins of Fillmore County captured Archie Lump kin. the negro ferryman who shot and painfully wounded T. c. Little, a prominent white farmer of Tallassee Monday afternoon. at 8 o'clock yester- day morning near Coosada and took him to the county jail at Wetumpka.
 No demonstration was made and it is not thought that there will be any trouble in Elmore County over the cap- ture of the negro.
 MT. Little was. reported yesterday to be improving as rapidly as possible from the wound in his shoulder and it is thought he will be able to be out in few days.
 Lumpkin, the negro ferryman at the Hughes Ferry. it will be remembered shot Mir. Little with pistol after the farmer had struck him with a buggy whip because of some impertinence. The shooting occurred on the ferry boat shortly after 1t had left the FL more County side of the Alabama River.
 Protecting himself with the weapon, the negro brought the passengers on to the Montgomery County side of the river and then made his escape He is about 22 years old and has previous ly borne a good character.

MANILA JUDGES EXPLOIT.
Rescued Filipino Girls and Fined Their
 Ah0uctOr.

St. Louis, March 7.-Advices have just been received from Manila telling of the exploits of Judge Adolpn Wis lizenus. formerly a police court judge of St. Louis and now a justice in the island of Cebu, who in January last personally pursued and captured an American commercial vessel that was leaving with three Filipino girls forci- bly, detained on board, rescued the girls and fined the captain 2,500 pesos.
 The ship was the United States barkentine Chehalis. owned and com manded by P. M. Simpson of Oregon. When the ship cleared from Cebu the cry was raised that three Filipino girls had been carried away. A cutter overhauled the ship but the girls could not be found aboard. Then it was that Judge Wisliznus, hearing the report. suddenly adjourned court, buckled on a revolver, summoned armed native officials and pursued the barkentine in launch, overhauling her and finding the three girls in a locker. Captain Simpson was brought to land, charged with abduction by Judge Wislizenus, who immediately reconvened his court and fined him 2,5OO pesos.

FIXES OF MADISON,
Much Money Needed to Restore Them
 to Proper Condition.

Much Money Needed to Restore Them to Proper Condition.
 Huntsville, March 7.--(Special) -- Either a bond issue for a sum not less than $lo0,000 or the re-establishment of toll gates will be necessary to pro- vide enough money to restore Madison County's system of bikes which have been ruined during the last two or three years. The road fund has never been sufficient to keep the bikes in re- pair and the system which cost more than $200,000 has been allowed to run down to such an extent that to restore them to a first class condition will cost something like half as much as 1t cost to build them. The County Com missioners appear to be in favor of making a contract with some tDrpora- tion to put the bikes in repair and all low the corporation to establish toll gates for a number of years and real ize on the principal and interest of the investment. This appears to be the simplest way out of the difficulty and another argument advanced by the Commissioner in favor of the plan is the fact that the toll gates will keen large number of people out of town on Saturday who have no business here except to loaf on the corners to the neglect of their work at home With a toll gate barring their way to the city, 1t may then be possible to a@t a days work out of farm laborers on Saturday and then every planter in the County will be benefited
 It is rumored in business circles that a large distilling company has decided to establish a distillery in Huntsville and that the plant of the Pratt bot ting works has been leased for the use of the bottling department The Pratt works will be moved to the bus mess section of town.
