"A special jury of thirty jurors
was drawn Tuesday to try the case
OF Elus Leblanc, who is now in
Jail accused of numbering his wife
by cutting her throat a few months
ago. Leblanc on Mardi Gras at.
tempted suicide by cutting his
throat, inflicting terrible wound
across his throat; which is the rea-
son he was not tried at the last
term of court. Public opinion is
very strong against Leblanc, and
1t is believed that it will be neces-
sary to pick up large number of
talesmen before jury can be Sc

Why Suffer From Rheumatism?

Why suffer from rheumatism when ont
application Of .Chamberlain's Pain Balm
will relieve the pain? The quick relief
with this liniment affords makes rest and
sleep possible, and that alone is worth
many times its cost. Many who have
used it hoping only for relief from suf-
fering have been happily surprised to
find that after awhile the relief became
permanent. Mrs. V. II. Leggett of Yum
Yum. Tennessee, U. S. A., writes. Il am

over from head to foot. and Chamberlain :
Pain Balm is the only thing that will re-
lieve the pain" For sale by I. j. Liable.

Saw Mill Burned.

The large saw mill of Burdin
Bros, was completely destroyed
by fire at about half past six o'clock
Wednesday evening. The fire
broke out just few minutes after
the mill had closed the days opera
ton, the Waterman and the clerks
were yet in the Office when the
fire broke out.
The fire looks somewhat like a
mystery as in one instant the
whole mill was one mass of flames.
The fire shot out a mass of flames
and spread with remarkable rapi-
dity. The fire department respon-
ded very promptly and did some
good work in saving the water
tank, the boiler house, the logway
and the lumber that was close to
the mill, saving the large platform
around the mill, but the mill pro-
per was completely burned.
The Mess. Burdin estimate
their loss at $4,000 with insu-
rance amounting to $4,000.

The theft which was committed
some days ago at the home of Mr..
f. E. Delahousssye, was discover
ed this week, by u young negro
who was discovered with Mr.. De-
lahoussaye's revolver. Charley
Mobile, Bebe Jean Pierre and
Narcisse Jean Pierre were arres-
ted on suspicion of having been
implicated in the theft and jailed.
PadOu Olivier who is still at large
is also believed to be implicated
in this burglary but he is slick
enough to keep in hiding and
evade the officers who are looking
for him. The belief is that these
young negroes committed the
burglary.

FOUR RESIDENCES
 BURN IN ANNISTON
Adjacent Property Is Also Slightly Damsged-Total Loss Is
 About $25oo.

Anniston, September 2-(Special) )-Four residences were destroyed by fire this af- ternoon in the southern part of the city almost beyond the reach of plugs. Fire men were aided in saving several other residences that were in line with the flames. The flames originated from a de- fective fue in the house of L. T. R. Lester, occupied by J. B. Duke. The household effects of pr. Duke. worth $250. were almost wholly destroyed. The house, valued at $500, was burned. MT. Lester had $4O0 insurance. The household effects were uninsured.
 The $550 house of R. Donegan, insured for $500. was also destroyed. The house. hold effects were saved.
 The home of J. M. Mckee, valued at s900 and insured at $350, was destroyed. House. hold goods valued at 5000 were partially saved with damage; no insurance.
 House of Jesse Matthews. occupied by c. M Crockdale, valued at $500, was de- stroyed No insurance on either house or household effects. The latter were valued at about $4G0.
 The total loss is estimated at s2500.
 When the fire broke out Mrs. Duke was sick in bed. But she sustained the re- moval from her home very calmly, and it Is thought her condition will not be se- riously aggravated by the excitement caused by the fire. One or two other houses were damaged

What was easily the most delightful an- nual reception yet given by the Birming- ham Athletic club took place last night at the beautiful club house on Twentieth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
 For several days preparations had been making for the occasion and nothing had been left undone to decorate the club house most attraetiVely When the guests began to arrive at o'clock their eyes in whatever direction turned mirrored a scene of floral beauty and feminine loveli- ness seldom If ever excelled in Birming- ham. For four hours bright lights shone over beautiful women and brave men, and when the hour of parting came, words of warm praise for the Birmingham Ath- letic club were on the lips of all guests.
 It was what might be called the open ing of the clubs annual season. Of the clubs several hundred members, almost everyone, from President W. D. Nesbit down, looked in if only for little while and with them came troops of beautiful young women who had learned the joy of living, and were ready to taste to the full of the nights delight,
 In the early evening the guests passed in and out of the reception room, wan dered out on the portlco of the second story and inspected all portions of the club house-the billiard hall, the gym nasium the library, the basket ball room and, what was perhaps the most allur= ing feature of the club, the swimming pool, lustrious with It's clear pure, con stantly flowing water
 At 10 o'clock dancing began in the gymnasium. and the invitation
