DIG ORE AND COAL
 IN JACKSON COUNTY
CAPITALISTS APPLY FOR CHAR TER TO DEVELOP PROPERTY IN NORTH END OF couNTY-PRo- POSE TO UTILIZE LIMESTONE.

Scottsboro February 15.-(Special.)-A number of we'll known and prominent cap italists have been over the ground and found it so well adapted to their wants that they have made application before the county register for a charter of in- corporation for the purpose of developing several thousand acres of fine mineral lands near Alto in the upper end Of this' Jackson county The name of the company is the Cumberland Coal and Lime com pany and the capital stock is $1000O. The incorporators are as follows: J. R. Pit ner, H. J. Smith. E. F. Holder, w. O. Peoples and O. T. Peoples These gentle men own rich iron and coal lands in Jackson county which will be developed at an early date.
 One of the incorporators stated today that the company would also manufacture lime from the limestone that exists fin large paying quantities in the county. As soon as the charter is received a meeting will be held and an organization perfect ed There are thousands of acres of rich mineral lands in Jackson county waiting to be developed. One spur of the Cumber- land range, near Alto postoffice, is rich in coal and it is probable that these gem tlemen will also open up this coal which has been tested and pronounced of supe- rior quality and almost inexhaustible quantity.
 Dr. Pierce, who has but recently opened up his coal mines across the Tennessee river from Bridgeport, says that it has surpassed his expectations. His narrow guage railroad is kept bdsy delivering coal into his fleet of barges at the river, and he says this is but q beginning. He will in very short time be better equipped by having larger number of barges. All of the coal mined at the Pierce mines will be transported by water.

LAR THIEVES ACT

Selma Stirred by Reports of
 Daring Robbery
BIG STOCK BARN BURNED
Newton Brice and Colonel Abbott Are Losers By Blaze In Outskirts of Selma-other News of
 Dallas County.

Selma, February 15.-(special)- )-wild rumors were aioat on the streets of Sell ma about o'clock this morning that a freight train on the Southern railway had been held up by a band of negro robbers and that the crew was being held up at the points of pistols while cars were being robbed at will. The presence of a half dozen policemen on horseback armed with shot guns hurrying 10 the scene lent color to the reports and the daring hold-up was all the talk for many hours.
 It turned out upon investigation that the report had been greatly exaggerated but that q bold robbery had been commit ted. The cars for local freight No. 64, north bound, on the Southern, had been placed on the spur track near Kahn's brick yard to await the arrival of the crew. Between the time the cars were left there, about o'clock, and the time the crew came, two of the cars had been broken open and several cases of goods, sacks of flour, etc, taken from them and thrown longside the track The arrival of the crew scared the robbers off before the thieves could get away with the goods, but there was no attempt to hold up the crew as stated.
 The train men discovered the negroes in the act of robbing the cars and the latter took to the woods. The officers secured the woods In that section for sev- eral hours but returned without having discovered their prey. Committed in broad daylight it was daring attempt at robbery, and shows to what pass car rob ping has come in this section.

Mules and Horses Burned.


 There was a disastrous fire just beyond Elkdale park last night about midnight in which MT. Newton Brice and Colonel Abbott, who were associated in the stock raising business were the losers. About midnight the big barn in which was housed six mules, two horses COW and calf, several tons of hay, two bugg1es and many farming implements was dis covered in a mass of flames. Before as- sistance could arrive the entire structure and all of it's contents were complete loss. The live stock became terror strick- en and would not leave their stalls and were suffocated and burned alive. There are only a few families in the neighbor- hood and these responded at once when the fire became known, but were power less to rescue the stock or any Of the contents of the barn.
 MT. Brice just came to Selma rom Kentucky in January and had establsheo n stock farm about a mile north or the union messenger station and just peyohu Flkdale park the northern terminus or inc street car line. One Of the horses that was burned had just arrived rom kentucky two days ago and had never hoon hitched to a buggy since reaching bare The intention was to put this ahi- n,al on the track and have him tralheo for riding. The stable and contents are yalued at about $40O0, the insurance car riad heinz about $150o. The origin Of the fire is not known, but it is thought that some of the farm hands dropped cisar stump in the hay loft.

Meeting of the Committee on Inter
state Commerce to Discuss
Railroad Rate Bills.
HOUSE MEASURE OPPOSED
REPUBLICANc WRESTLING WITH
THE MATTER.

Washington, Feb 10-With all sorts
of compromises rumored, the senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day resumed consideration of railroad
ate bills. The rupture in the commit
tee yesterday was smoothed over, tenn
porarily at least. Senator CIapp, how
ever. was not present today.
Certain opponents OF the house bill
have suggested an amendment which
provides that courts may determine the
lawfulneSs of a rate fixed by the COM
mission which would amount to test
proceedings and have a bearing on all
subsequent orders of the commission.
In effect this would mean that after
the cOnstftutionality of the powers
given the commission had been deter
mined by the highest court nothing
would stand in the way of execution
of further orders issued by the commits
sion in accordance with this construc-
ton The railroads, of course, would
have the right of any litigant to con-
test orders which they believed to be
unjust but this would not obstruct the
continuance of the orders on any
ground except their IaWfuIness. Courts
would review the reasonableness of
rates in the manner permitted by the
house bill. This proposed amendment
Senator Aldrich is said to favor. 1t is
a compromise only in that it provides
for the determination of the constitu-
tiOnality of the bill before it's provi-
siCns are enforced. 1t is believed gen.
orally that If adopted it would result
in the greatest legal contest in the his
tory of the courts

Captain Mikkelsen, upon discovering
the new continent, intends to plant

believes to be both improbable and
useless of attainment Captain Mikkel-
sen today, accompanied by the Danish
minister and Henry Edward Rood of
New York City, called upon the presi-
dent and explained to him the objects
and purposes of the expedition. Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressed his hearty
approval of the enterprise. 1t was ex-
planned that the intention of Captain
Mikkelsen is to make scientific investi-
cations which probably will result in
new and important additions to present
knowledge of geology, meteoroIogy,
photography and possibly ethnology,
