Comment on the interview is all favor able and hopeful and the meeting is hailed as tending to strengthen the triple alli- ance with all that the triple alliance means and stands for.
 The Fremdenblatt, the organ of the for eign office, declares that Austria Hun gary and Italy are endeaVoring to ensure the maintenance of peace in the Balkans, to promote the progress of ciVilzing and 10 better influences there.
 'ln Italy as well as in Austria Hun gary" the Fremdenblatt says. the con- vction holds that despite the many diffi- culties with which the reform work has been attended, the continuation of such efforts Is the best way to prevent the oc- currence of incidents which might result in intervention by the powers and the present method of handling the Macedo- nian question is the best evidence of the two governments. The Venice interview proves that the triple alliance still ex- ists in all It's old strength and that Aus tria-Hungary and Italy are united for peace in the near east"

 "It would be difficult 10 discover more perfect riding track than is to be found on the line between Chattanooga and Birmingham and this must not be taken as detraeting from Birmingham the qual- ity of track north of Chattanooga since that is of an unusually high character; but traffic is comparatively light. The surprise exists in the fact that, with so light a traffic. the line and surface in- stead of being pretty good, could be im- proved upon scarcely, if at all.
 South of Chattanooga. on the Alabama Great Southern, there are no automatic signals, but here all switches are protect ed by distant signals which are inter locked with the switchstands. very clear form of target is used, with a rather high target rod and targets with the blades placed in planes which are at right angles to each other"

JURY RETURNS A
 VERDICT OF GUILTY
JUDGE CoMMENDS VERDICT AGAINST YOUNG WHITE MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING A NEGRO AT coRDoVA.

Jasper April 3O.-(Special) IA jury in the circuit court here, late yesterday afternoon, returned verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the first degree and fixing a punishment of eighteen months imprisonment, against Will Earnest, prominent young business man of Cor dova, charged with killing a negro at that place last January.
 The trouble occurred during the snow last winter, and was the outgrowth of the snowballing of the negro by crowd of whites
 It was alleged tha. Earnest went to the depot of the Frisco railroad after the snowballlng and asked the negro to re- tract some threats he had made, that the negro refused and he was thereupon shot to death.
 After the Jury had brought in the yer dic,, and the verdict had been received and read by the clerk. Judge A. H. AL ston, the state supernumerary judge, who is presiding over the court. requested the jury to be seated, and then said:
 "Gentlemen Of the jury, the court well knows that it is unusual for the court to address any remarks to the jury after the rendition of verdict, but I feel that conditions. not only in this county but in other portions of the state make it proper, if not my duty to say what I am about to say Gentlemen. we can not deny that there is a sentiment that exists, and is growing, that the con- ditions in life of the slayer and the slain largely control verdcts that are rem dered in cases like the one you have just tried, but I am glad to know that a Walker county jury has set the example of administering justice regardless of the conditions of the parties interested. By your verdict you have said that the majesty of the law will be upheld and justice done the black man as well as the white man. Your verdict will go far toward maintaining law and order, not only in Walker county but the entire state. In the name of law. order and peace. I thank you for moral courage you have shown, Your verdict was very merciful as to that I have only to say justice should always be tempered with mercy"
 Solicitor John Mcqueen made great fight in behalf of the state, and is pleased with the verdict The case will be appealed to the supreme court by the defendants attorneys, Messrs. Acuff and McCollum.

Lindsay was similarly treated by three young men of the same description at Velma station on the Gate City car line about three blocks away.
 A posse of police officers went on the trail of the robbers but 1t seems that after the two robberes they left woodawn and about midnight held up a negro at the corner of Twelfth avenue and Twen- ty-siXth street.
 Palvadore was arrested in the Louis vile hotel on Second avenue and Bry- ant was arrested at his home on Twen- ty-second street between Avenue and Avenue B on the Southside.
 When seen by an Age-Herald reporter last night both men under arrest stout ly denied any knowledge of the alleged robberies or tha, they were connected in any way with them. They both stated that they were at home during the early part of Saturday night.
 Several of the men who have been rob- bed in the past month called at the city jail during the day yesterday but failed to positively identify the prisoners as the men who had held them up but all agreed that they believed the men to be the guilty parties Mir. Lindsay stated to the officials that Palvadore resembled one of the men who held him up Satur- day night but he could not swear positive ly that he was one of the gang as he did not good view of his faca at the time the crime was committed
 The men Under arrest are about 26 and 2s year of age, respectively.
 They will be transferred to the coun- ty jail today.

Dallas, Tex, April SO.--A special to the News from Greenville, Tex, says:
 For the first time in the history of this county physical demonstrations of admin isterng poison and causing death have been made in the trial of Will Manning, charged with poisoning his wife near Ce- leste.
 Following a dramatic offer of Judge H. D. Wood to have Will Manning swallow a dose of the strychnine crystals taken by chemical process from the stomach of his dead wife, it was proposed to make = test of the crystale before the court aI jury. When objections by defendant torney's were over-ruled three frogs brought into the court room quantity of strychnine obtained from\ drug store injected into one of thN frogs and produced death in few min utes. Into another frog water was in- jected without appreciable effect. In like manner a small portion of poison from the crystals said to have been found by the chemist in his analysis of the contents of the stomach of the dead woman, produced death more quickly than that from the poison obtained at the drug store Ths frog that had been given an injection of water was dosed with a solution of the crystal poison developed by the chemical analysis and was soon thrown into con- vusions and died
 The demonstration was made in view of the jury and spectators and held the breathless attention of all Later the jury returned verdict of the death pen,i alty. ,.
