Morgan Tipton Discharged.

After a trial consuming nearly all of yesterday afternoon in Justice Lloyd's Court. Morgan Tipton, charged with ar
 son, was discharged.
 An interesting contention was raised by the counsel for the defense, w. B. Craig. which was sustained by the magistrate. MT. Craig contended that the defendant could not be tried on the charge of arson for burning his own house even if the property of another In his house was consumed and he made a long and impressive argument in his objection to the prosecution ad-
 ducing testimony relating to personal property which MT. Craig held was not mentioned in the statute governing the crime of arson.
 Morgan Tipton, according to the evil dence. burned his home in which there was personal property belonging to a negro woman related to Tipton. The woman brought the charge of arson against Tipton and Justice Billups Gayle was employed to prosecute the case.
 The ground of Mir. Craigs contention was that under the charge of the pros- ecution the defendant was not guilty
 of arson, and could only be guilty of a misdemeanor if he had set fire to his own house. whereas arson is a felony.
 The law says I can burn my own house. but that If I burn an adjoining house or property contiguous to that I am guilty of arson" said the attorney. Not a word is said of personal prop |erty. To convict this man of arson," |continued MT. Craig, the State must show that he burned another house than his own, or a car or a steamboat.
 Then the attorney illustrated his meaning. If burn my own house and in it are a pair of shoes, belonging to another. am I to be amenable to cap ital punishment?' dramatically asked the attorney. He read extracts from Supreme Court decisions and referred especially to S1st Alabama, page 55.
 MT. Craig was answered by MT. Gayle, but the objection was sustained after arguments lasting several min- utes.
 The evidence was circumStantial and not strong enough to convict.

How often do we hear women say: "It seems as though my back would break, '' or"Dont speak to me, l am all out of sorts?" These significant remarks prove that the system requires attention.
 Backache and |" the blues" are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine Arrangement. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years, and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally success full remedy for woman's ills known to medicine.
 The following letters from Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among the many thousands which Mrs. Pink ham has received this year from those whom she has relieved.
 Mrs. JIG. Holmes, of Larimore, North Dakota, writes:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
 I have suffered everything with backache and womb trouble-I let the trouble run on until my system was in such a condition that was unable to be about, and then it was I commenced to use Lydia E. Pinkham's vege- table Compound. If had only known how much suffering would have saved, should have taken it months sooner-for a few weeks treatment made me well and strong. My backaches and headaches are all gone and suffer no pain at my menstrual periods, whereas before I took Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound suffered intense pain. !" l Mrs. Emma Cotrely, 1o9 East 18th Street, New York City, writes:

GIFT OF A se5,O0 CHURCH.
COngregationalists Turn 1t Over
 EpiscopaIfaus.

Congrcgationalists Turn 1t Over to
 EpiscopaIiaus. 's North Brookfield. Mass, Correspondent
 New York Sun.
 The action of the society of the Union Congregation Church of this town in turning over to the Episcopal diocese of Western Massachusetts its $65, 900 church, the finest building of the kind between Worcester and Springfield. is said to be without a precedent, because the property is entirely free froE. debt Without a dissenting voice, the members of the Congregation Society voted three weeks ago to make the change. The church will now be turned into an Episcopal mission. While the so- ciety's action was undoubtedly due to the poverty of the Congregation So- ciety, the seeds of the Episcopal teach ings were sown years ago by the Rev. Joseph J. Spencer. who after inducing the late Mrs. Nancy Hunter Tucker, of this town. to expend her entire es- tate in building the church, adopted some of the forms used in the Epis- copal service. After leaving the church. MT. Spencer decided to enter 1 the Episcopal ministry, and while he was preparing to take orders he died in California The change does not mean that all the members of the Con- gregational Society will immediately become Episcopalians. but most of them are likely do so eventually.
 The Union Congregational Church was founded by abolitionists, who in the stress of the anti-slavery agita- tion fifty-one years ago, withdrew from the First Congregation Church and or ganlzed a society of their own. They built two-story wooden edifice just across the street from the First Con- gregation Church. The leader of the movement was Professor Amasa Walk CT. father of General Francis A. Walker.
 The Union Church is also known as the Tucker Memorial Church, and was erected ten years ago at a cost of $65.oO0. the money bieng furnished by Mrs. Nancy Tucker. She put every cent of her money into the building and died in poverty, being supported in her last days by charity, but leav- ing the church edifice as a memorial of herself. her husband and her son. The edifice is strikingly like an Episcopal church in appearance. It is in the form of cross and has the deep chancel. the eagle lectern, the raised pulpit at one side of the cham eel and the prayer desk.

Pleaded for Negro's Life.

There Is one negro in this State in the shadow of the gallows whom prom inent people of Selma have tried to save by persistent appeals to the pow CTS that be. The Board of Pardons has just refused to recommend changing Jud Braham's sentence of death on the gallows to a life term in the peniten tiary. and. despite the efforts of a great number of the negros friends. he Is doomed unless Governor Cunningham interferes of his own accord.
 Innumerable letters have been writ ten from Selma to the Governor and Board of Pardons in Braham's behalf and they were from the very best cit izens of this section of the State. Some time ago Braham was a hostler for Dr. John P. Furniss ir this city and he was known by nearly every business man in Selma. It is doubtful if another negro ever had the reputation for peace and quiet and good behavior that Bra ham had in this community. Often, 1t Is said, he was referred to as setting an example which every negro in the land would be better off to emulate. With his meekness he was ambitious and had acquired as much of an educa- tion as any negro laborer in this city.
 When Braham left Selma he went to Birmingham and Ensley and 1t was in the latter city that he murdered his sweetheart-the climax to a love affair in existence many years. Braham gave himself up to the authorities and at that time asked for speedy execution and exhibited other signs of insanity. That was his plea at the trial. Since his trial in Birmingham his counsel and his friends have been laboring untir- ingly in his behalf.
 The news in this mornings Adver- tiser to the effect that Braham still has a chance came as a relief to a great many of the best people of the city.
