 Mobile, Aug. !.
 Wade Lane the white man, who was seriously and perhaps fatally stabbed and cut early yesterday morning near Whistler, this county, was today re- ported as not doing SO well.
 Sheriff Powers this morning gave ad- ditional details of the affair. which. added to that given in brief this morning, in The Advertiser, tends to put an uugly light on the cutting and stabbing. The sheriff stated that the two men were wrestling and Lane threw Davidson. They got up and Lane, thinking 1t was a frolic, thought no more of the matter until Davidson turned and plunged knife into his breast, the blade puncturing the lung. Another plunge and the liver was cut. Davidson then cut Lane several times on the arm. Lane ran and was fol- lowed by Davidson, who stabbed him in the back two or three times. Da- vidson then ran off. Lane was taken to his home and given surgical atten- tion.
 Sheriff Powers was not notified of the affray until Il o'clock yesterday. He and Deputy Will McCarron went to Whistler and made a vigorous search for Davidson, but failed to find him. In the evening they learned that he was going to leave for Mississippi and they came to Mobile and got on a car to go to the M. J. and K. c. depot. Soon Davidson got on the same car, having a bundle. He was captured and taken to the county jail. where he is being held pending the result of Lanes injury.
 At the regular weekly meeting of the Board of Revenue and Road Commits sioners, held this afternoon, after a ad 10 hv Attorney J. c. Rich for Toulmin & Sons, the former action of the Board in annualling a contract with that firm for gravel for Davis Avenue was re- scinded. This was not done, however. until the Board had sustained Chief Engineer Hazelhurst of the Board of Public Works, in charge of this im- proyement, in his condemnation of the materials furnished by Toulmin & Sons.
 The gravel for macadamizing the road had not come up to the specifica- tions, hence the annullment Toulmin & Sons agreed to furnish the proper materials, hence the action of the Board today.
 James Chambers, a popular young man, was the victim of an encounter on the Bay Shell Road last evening which causes him to shudder when he thinks of 1t.
 With a friend he was coming home ward in his buggy. When just below Garrow's Bend and on the right side of the road, MT. Touart came spinning along in his auto. The auto struck the buggy sending 1t. the horse and two men down the embankment. The bug BY was smashed, but the men and horse, fortunately, escaped injury Mir. Tou- art very promptly stopped his machine, went back and apologized and asked MT. Chambers to present a bill for his damages.
 An onlooker. in speaking of the acci- dent, said he could not figure out how the horse and men were not killed or badly injured.
