 Relative to the killing of Anderson McCree. A negro. at Citronelle. on Satur- day night, much has been said because of newspaper reports. It was announc- cd from the sheriff's office that Tom Warren A negro convict hired by the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company, had be. in Citronelle that night and did the killing. The law dealing with the handling of convicts prohibits the lessees from allowing them to go about ad libitum. except when as trustees they are at work. This being true the sheriff expressed his intention of hav- t4v, to ana wherefore of Warren being away from the convict stockade at night.
 Tyler Turner, vice-president Of the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company, arrived in Mobile this morning and was seen with reference to the presence of War ren at Citronelle. MT. Turner made the following statement: "If Tom Warren was in Citronelle Saturday night it was without the | knowledge and consent or our company, As a metter of fact. he did escape from Dwight Saturday night and l paid $50 | for his capture He was found at his home near Dwight, in bed. and returned without resistance. As to the killing of McCree. a white man named Ham Collins was arrested early Sunday morning for the crime He was allow | ed ball and signed his bond for $500 At the preliminary hearing yesterday he was discharged. l have learned since. however. and so informed the county solicitor, that witnesses had been found who would swear they saw both Collins and Warren shoot McCree Collins has been employed at the Mobile | and Ohio Railroad coal chutes al Citronelle. Warren is in our stockade and when wanted will be turned over to the authorities when the proper papers are presented"

recently appointed inspector for the convict board had been to Vinegar Bend lately and pronounced the stockade one of the best in the State and that the company ranged high in having fewer escapes than any other camp in Alabama. MT. Turner felt that his company was censured slightly | in the matter of Warren escaping, but reminded The Advertisers representa- | tive that the State named the man to take charge of the stockade and con- | victs also the guards, and therefore he felt his company. though paying | the bills. was not emitted to criticism | in the escape of Warren. The matter will be investigated.

selma, Aug. O.
 Railroad rumors of all descriptions were the topic of much speculation n Selma today. The cause of these rumors was the appearance of the corps oi engineers on the streets yesterday ar ternoon and today. Many tried eo learn what the engineers were ooihs hut efforts in that direction were Iu- tile and they were made no wiser oy what they learned. Opinions "sro freely expressed as to what was ooins and what would be the outcome oi tbe visit and work in this city and sec lion of the State. Whether any or the t.ories advanced will prove correct lime alone will tell and in the mean time the work of guessing will De con tinued.
 These rumors had the corps Of ensl- neers connected with nearly eV' large railroad system in the south. ne pair shops for the road that IL 'au s, will be built were even located oy some of the guessers, and there was some kicking at the idea that roaa should be built down Water street. the principal business street or tne city. Many other theories or all kihos 2 were advanced and the movements or the engineers were closely watched as they worked around the city.
 Yesterday afternoon they surveyed
 
 Selma up Franklin Street. They worked up to Water Street before they stopped for the day. This morning they began the work of surveying Water Street and spent couple or hours surveying two blocks in the heart of the wholesale district or that street. Washington Street from wa ter, which leads to the county bridge was also gone over and then the work continued up Water Street to Church Street where is situated the old Er- hart warehouse. The instruments were then trained down Church Street
 Little groups of citizens stood on the sidewalk, watching the movements of the engineers as they worked on water Street. Their movements were closely watched and their work was freely discussed That the men are survey ing a route for a railroad to enter and pass through this city no ore seems to doubt, but the question that is worry ing the citizens is what road 1t Is. The majority of them are of the belief that 1t is the Louisville and Nashville, but no one knows.
