 smith and Railroads.
 Then what I said about him was true, because he has gone over to the railroads. but say he didn't have very far to go when he went MT. Conner then cited his campaign against MT. Smith along his usual lines.
 With references to railroad rates, which occupied the remainder of Mir. Corners speech, he took occasion to re- fer to the Louisville and Nashville and compared the rates of Alabama with those of Georgia. declaring that the rates in Alabama are from 20 to 120 per cent higher. He also com pared the Mississippi rate. He said Think of it. gentlemen, in Alabama you pay $1.50 to the same roads for fertilizer where Georgia pays one buck I found out further. gentle men, where you pay $2 on fertilizer, Mississippi pays $1 to the same rail- road, in the same class"
 MT. Conner then quoted an article apeparing in The New York Journal of Commerce as to trusts, showing the dangers of the big corporations
 He then declared himself against the powers of the Alabama Railroad powers of the Alabama Commits sion with the mandatory power of the commissions of Texas and other States. He also referred to the commissions of North Carolina, Vir- ginia, Illinois and Iowa and their mandatory powers: claiming that the States who put the heaviest restric- tions upon the railroads. showed to better advantage with railroad im- provements
 Attack on the l.. & N.
 MT Conner made his usual attack up- on the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road with reference to monopolistic rates showing his figures as to differ ences in the several States.
 In speaking of the Railroad Com mission, Mir. Conner said; T have said that we made that fight before tho commission, and who was the com mission? It was Conner and Sanders and Tunstall. You ask me, gentlemen, why I haven't done something; l told you I would do the best I could. l tried to bring down these extortionate rates. to edualize them, but there was Conner. Sanders and Tunstall. Tun- stall q railroad politician, Sanders, a railroad lawyer. and Conner for the people Those three and two against one"
 MT. Conner then referred to Dr. Cum ningham, repeating the remarks made at former speeches. saying thatwhile pr. Cunningham advocated lower rate than even he did, yet pr. Cunning ham was backed by the large cor porations and they knew that if he was elected he would not carry out the rate reform, while the people knew that if Conner was elected, he would fulfill his promises.
 In the course of Mir. Corners speech there were no other developments. The applause was slight and at the end MT Conner distributed copies of The Mont gomery Journal containing corrected copies" of his Tuscaloosa speech. MT. Conner left at 1 o'clock for Monroeville where he will speak tomorrow.

Rau m Onen Switch.

A small wreck on the Southern Rail way late last night at stanton, caused a delay of several hours to the passen- ger trains from here to Birmingham and Mobile. The wreck was caused by freight train No so running into an open switch at stanton. It is sup posed that the switch was thrown by some person bent upon wrecking the train. A freight train not fifteen min untes ahead of the freight that ran into the open switch passed stanton all right When No. so passed the switch had been thrown and caused several of the cars to be ditched and blocked the road for several hours.
 similar occurrence happened in the western part of the city early one morning last week Two freight trains left the city going west, one shortly after the other. The first train got out of the city all right but when the second train started it ran into an open switch near the Buckeye Cotton Seed Oil mill and was delayed for some time.

 Selma. Jan. Is.
 The January term of the City Court convened at noon today at the Dallas County Court House with Ju9ge !. w Mabry presiding. The first bus mess of the court was the empaneling of the grand jury. The charge Judge Mabry delivered was one of the strong est ever heard by a Dallas county grand jury. The Judge called the at- tention of the body to the many evils that menaced the welfare of the coun- ty and it's citizenship.
 He called the jury's attention to the blind tiger evil, and said that this was receiving the attention of the grand juries in other counties and that It should be investigated in Dallas. Open violation of the law. he declared, made the law contemptible to the violators, and they soon disregarded it altogeth- CT.
 In tze charge Judge Mabry' called the attention of the grand jury to the shooting of negro on the steamboat at Portland a few weeks ago. He said that he did not know any of the facts in the case, but understood that two white men from an adjoining coun- ty had walked aboard the boat and had deliberately shot the negro. in- ficting a serious and painful wound. Such a thing as this. he said. should receive careful consideration. He told the jury that the two white men had escaped, but that the wounded negro had been brought to Selma and lodged in the county jail and is still there. What for. the judge did not know, but doubted not that there was sufficient reason for holding him
 His charge to the grand jury lasted for about three-quarters of an hour and was listened to with tho closest attention.
 The present week Of the court will be devoted 10 civil non-jury cases. after which the regular docket of the court will be taken up. The docket is 6 comparatively small one and the ses- sion of the court will be short
 The grand jury is as follows: Henry Jones, foreman; Lock Brady, G. W. Hewston, W. H. Dudley, Blanchard Cook, l.. q. Clark, Sanford E. Macon, l.. D. Powers, Thomas Dungan, Robert Hardy, W. E. Harrison, J. H. Robbins. Jr.. Thomas G. Gayle. Frank N. Scott. C. c. Northrup, Edward G. Herman, J. F Y Cosby and R. A. King.

Fell Down Elevator.

Mrs. Hary Brown, & member of the David Ranum Company. which per formed at the Academy of Music to- night, fell down the elevator shaft at the Hotel Albert this morning. While she received some scratches and was considerably shaken up, her injuries did not prevent her from acting her roll in the play tonight,
 Mrs. Brown went to the elevator to go to her room. The wire door at the elevator was closed. but not fastened very securely and she pulled 1t open and stepped, as she thought, upon the elevator, but 1t was at that time or the third floor. She fell to the cellar among the cog wheels, and the coat that she wore caught in ,one of the wheels.
 Mrs. Brown realized her danger and had the presence of mind to slip out of the coat as quickly as possible and thereby kept from being pulled down and being injured by the wheels. Sst was rescued and carried to her room and a physician was summoned.

Frank Mayo, the white tramp who is accused of having robbed the postohice at Thomaston one night last week, was brought to Selma from Linden this morning to have a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner I. D. Lloyd.
