COURT AT ATHENS.
Two Tribbles, Charged With Murder,
 to He Tried.

Athens. April 6.-(special.)-The spring term of the circuit court is now in session Judge D. w. Speake presiding, and Solicitor Almon at the helm with the grand jury. There is not much business before the grand jury as it has only been a short time since the county had a term of the grand jury that turned out a good deal of business. Solicitor AL mon is of the opinion that one week will suffice for the grand jury term. thereby saving to the county good deal of money.
 Criminal week begins next Monday and the first case set for trial Is that of Newton J. Tribble, charged with murder in the first degree. He Is white citizen of this place, has been a man of some means, was in business here for several years. He shot and killed negro named Dick David eighteen months ago. He has neph- CIV, Steven Tribble, who Is in jail charged with murder in the first de- gree and his trial is set for Wednes- day. These are the two most impor- tant cases to be tried during crimt- nal week.
 The city election passed off in this place quietly, but there was great deal of hard work among tine friends of the various candidates. The vote boiled was entlrely Wnlte ana TeSulleu in favor of Merit K. Clements for mayor against Mitchell Russell. Col onel Clements was for number of years president of the State school in this place and is one of the most en- ergetic and progressive men in the community. He will make fine offi- cial.
 The aldermen chosen are as follows: Ed. Estes, J.. W. Hagan, H. B. Ma lone, Price Hendricks. J. A. Grisham, R. M. Cartwright, w. T. Hatchett and c. D. Glaze. The race for city marshal, was also close, but w. T. Calvin was chosen over Dawson Nell son. The new board will be sworn in Friday night and the first and most important thing to be done Is the election of city clerk, with two prominent aspirants, the present clerk, John B. Tanner, and Perry Hem derson, for several years the tax as- sessor for this county. There is go- ing to be an effort made to increase the mayors salary to $500. the full amount allowed under the charter, as it is believed by the progressive peo- ple of the that a mayor Is worth that.

NOVEL QUESTION RAISED.
court'N Decision as to Land Being In
 Escambia County.

Courts DecIHlOB 1O AAuAs0 ANS
 Escambia County.
 Brewton, April 6.-(Special. At the present term of Circuit Court in the trial of a civil case novel question was presented to the court, which was whether a piece of land sued for was within the limits Of Escambia County. The land Is a strip of land lying along the boundary line of Alabama and Florida and Escambia County, and be- gins somewhere east of Pollard and goes to the ChattahoOchee river. There is a strip of land about twenty miles long north of the Florida line which the court decided was south of the Fscambia County line, making 1t in the State of Alabama, but not in Escambia County. This land has been heretofore considered in Escambia County, Alabama, and the citizens thereon have been paying taxes and voting in Escambia County. Accord ing to the courts decision, which seems to be very clear and correct. this land was not embraced in the act of the Legislature passed in 1868. which act fixed the boundaries of Es- cambia County definitely but failed to include this strip of land, leaving 1t as 1t formerly was, part of Conecuh County.
 The F. l.. Hancock murder case has been continued until next term of the Circuit Court.

circle of powerful light. 1t was one of
the strangest, widest, most beautiful
sights the writer ever beheld. After a
solid hours performance the little au-
dience decided that no taxidermical
touch should ever desecrate that beau
tiful feathered form, and the bird was
gently slipped into the pocket of an old
hunting coat, carried a mile out Of

in the edge of a hundred acre cornfeld,
into which he quickly scuttled.-For-

A 'Friday'' shin.

A true story is told of skeptical
Massachusetts captain who, way back
In the early years of the republic, de-
termined to exhibit the fallacy of the
Friday superstition. He contracted on
a certain Friday for the building of a
ship, and it was arranged that the keel
Of this vessel was laid on Friday, that
she was launched on a Friday, named
Friday, commenced loading on a Fri
day and hauled into the stream on the
same day Of the week. To add to the
possibilities Of disaster, a negro cook
named Friday was engaged, and, thus
fully freighted with the sinister name,
the Friday sailed on a Friday, bound to
a port in the West Indies. From that
day to this no tidings Of the Ill condi-
toned craft have been received.

EPIDEMIC OF BURGLARIES
AT coRDELE, GEORGIA

Cordele, Ga, Feb. 24.-Cordele has
apparently an epidemic of 'Peeping
Toms" and burglaries. For several
weeks cases have been reported vita
increasing frequency.
A bold attempt TO enter the room Of
Alvin Roberts, who lives at the resi-
dence of DR.. H. B. Roberts, was made
about 1870 o'clock yesterday morning
Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts had remained up
rather late and had blown out the
light only a few minutes before that
hour. Neither had gone to sleep, when
someone was heard to stumble over
a pile of wood on the veranda back of
the room. Almost Immediately after
ward a blind at the window on the
north side of the room, in plain view
of Eighth street, was seen to turn
slowly, and the outlines of a man
could be plainly seen owing to the
bright moonlight. Mr.. Roberts took
a heavy revolver and quietly stepped
up to the window.
The would-be housebreaker removed
a Stat from the blind, inserted his fore
arm and hand into the opening and
unlocked the shutter. As he was
drawingsit open Mr.. Roberts fired
point-blank at the mans arm, through
the window pane, at distance of
about twelve inches. Immediately the
man outside was heard to scuffie, and
jump from the veranda. Before the
two doors leading to the outside of the
house could be unlocked he had made
his escape.
Traces found show plainly that the
mans arm was hit. A thin, highly
tempered file was picked up on the
floor of the veranda, and a two-ounce
bottle full of chloroform, bearing no
label, was or the window sill. The
man was evidently fully prepared to
follow out the bold practice of enter
ing bedrooms, administering the drug
to sleepers and quietly robbing the
premises.

Sheridan gave almost no promise In
childhood of his future brilliancy. His
mother pronounced Richard Brins-

home from DR.. Whyte's academy with
the reputation of being an impenetra-
BILE Ounce, who wrote think" for
''thing." But he must have been able
TO think a thing or two even in those
days, for at twenty-six he had written
the school For Scandal" of which
Leigh Hunt observed, TT is a very
concentration and capitalization of all
that is sparkling, clear and compact
in the materials of pure comedy" 1t
should, however, be mentioned that a
more judicious of the youthful Sheri-
dams preceptors, Samuel Parr, one of
the masters at Harrow, detected the
latent spark of his pupils genius and
aided It by Judicious cultivation.
