ANIMALS STOP TRAINS.
Strange Interference With the Opera
 ton of Railroads.

From the New York Telegraph
 Most countries are not familiar with the masked bandits of the west who hold up" trains, but railroad men all over the world tell marvellous tales of beasts birds and fishes that have held Up traffic as effectualy.
 Animals are, of course, most often dis turbers of traffic, but these are not al- ways live stock which stray from the fields on the stracks. In Canada, for in- stance. stags often run before train till they drop from exhaustion. And in Si- berla it happened at least once that while an engine was running at slow speed bear sprang on the tender and attacked the engineer Fortunately, the man was able to drive him back to the tracks where he was caught under the wheels and so injured that he was easily dis patched.
 In India traffic is frequently interrupted by all kinds of creatures, from elephants to insects. Probably the Uganda railway is more often disturbed by animals than any other Lions, especially seem to have a particular antipathy for trains and frequently hold up one of them. One beast which was known to have killed seventeen persons attacked a train not long ago. But, as the railway company provides ammunition and weapons for just such occasions, the beast was shot. Os-
 
 African lines They have d coy way of sticking their heads into the sand bal, lasting of the track, and 1t is necessary either to stop the train or to run over bird which may be a valuable possession, especially from a nearby ostrich farm.
 In tropical countries insects often suc- ceed in holding strayel a q standstill. The white ant accomplishes this by destroying the wooden portions of the tracks To overcome this difficulty sleepers of iron or steel are substituted. and the manufae- ture of them has become considerable industry in the north of England and Scotland.
 at standstil for some hours. 1t had be- come entangled in the telegraph wires in such a way that all communication was stopped, and it was some time before the cause of the trouble was located and the bird released.
 One would wonder how live fishes could interfere with moving trains It not in- frequently happens that they are sucked into the watering apparatus for locomo- lives at country stations. Eels and trout of considerable size have often been caught in this way. In India during q recent flood trolley. car was stopped by a large fish. The water had risen in the streets to the height of the ear wheels. and the fish, swept along by the current, had become jammed between the spokes of a wheel so that 1t could hot turn.

MUNICIPAL NURSERY.
Chicago Councilman Wants City to
 Care for Poor Children.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
 The establishment of a municipal nursery In the congested districts, where wage-earning mothers may leave their little ones, is an innovation being advocated by Alderman Harris. The nursery Is to be established in the Ninth ward, and is to be in charge of a competens maLron. Alderman liar ris Is seeking a philanthropist who is willing to aid in the plan, and believes he will raise sufficient money to pur- chase site and equip the proposed nursery so that the city may maintain it.
 The building will be a bath house, gymnasium and reading room, and will be especlally for the use of the chill dren of the ward. Tn the annual re- pert of Coroner hoffman 1t is stated that more children are injured In hte Ninth ward in street accidents than in any other ward in the city. because they have no other place to play except on the busy thoroughfares.
 The nursery plan is being pushed by Alderman Harris, and he Is seeking to interest those who want to better the conditions of the children in the poor districts.
 'I have known of instances where mothers nave gone out washing or working in order uo earn the livelihood of a family, and lelt little children, barely more than a year old, at home to care for themselves" Alderman Harris said yesterday "They leave babies at home all day with a bottle of milk and a crust of bread. They have no one to care for them. and the mothers have no place to put them. A municipal nursery should be estab- lished, where these mothers can leave their little ones in good hands when they go to work in the morning, and call for them when they return at night"

not permit the execution of an insane man, even In those days, the speaker said, when so many trivial offenses were punished with death. Unless ohr civiliza- ton has gone backward the same rule should be more liberally construed and enforced today. If 1t were necessary to make the apepal 10 sympathy strong appeal could be made, but the petitioner adn the prisoner as citizen of Alabama insisted on the petition matter Of right He argued that the laws were en- acted as much for the protection or the individual citizens as for the protection of the state or organized society, and II the law fails to conserve the rights Of the individual citizen 1t fails of it's highest purpose. Mobs, he said, are the result of lack of respect for the law and the courts
 The failure of the courts to protect the defendant in his rights would engender this lack of respect as much as Failure to enforce the penalty. It Is not the harshness of the law that commands re- spect, but it's justice.
 I care not whether you believe in God or in the Bible, said MT. Pettus, there IS voice that speaks in every human breast which tells him of the immortality of his own soul. Though people die around us every day 1t is a terrible thing 10 see the machinery of the law closing QOWQ upon q uldHt SAAtAtiuh VII oiAS nue after another until he Is ushered Into the presence Of his maker. This Is espee- ially awful when because of his condition he cannot realize his situation nor pre- pare to meet his God.
 Visibly Affected.
 MT. Pettus described the death scene should the writ not be granted, so elo- quently that there was scarcely dry eye in the court room. Even the judge was visibly affected Mir. Pettuss speech was said by many to be one of the best de- lenses ever heard in Jefferson county
 He was followed by MT. St. John and MT. Gaston.
 Congressman Bowie's reply was strong and logical.
 At the close of the arguments, about 6 o'clock Judge Weaver stated that he would think over the case and render his decision this morning at o'clock.
 Tragic Incident In Cell.
 The facts came to light yesterday of an incident that probably saved Williams from hanging on the day set Thursday night Sheriff O'Rear went to the county jail to get Williams and carry him to Cullman on the Louisville and Nashville train leaving at SIS o'clock. Williams secured a bar of iron which was DOT ton of the plumbing fixtures in the jail and refused to De taken rom the cell He threatened to kill any man who at tempted to enter the cell, and it was only by the use of ammonia that he was finally subdued.
 Williams knocked out the electric light over the cell door and placed his cell in comparative darkness. This made it al most as much as mans life was worth Co enter the cell Special Watehman Morgan Kerr received severe blow on the shoulder from a large bolt that Will Hams hurled through the door after 1t had been opened.
 The prisoner delayed matters so long that the train left and it was. too late to carry him to Cullman. Plans were then made to carry him to Cullman on the early tarin yesterday morning. but the writ of habeas corpus stayed this ex- ecutiOn.

An enormous procession composed in part of cavalry, carriages, police and lancers. escorted Secretary Root through the streets Ambassador Nabuoo rode in the carriage with Mrs. Root, while General Rio Braneo rode with Secretary Root.
 The streets through which the process sion passed to the historical Abrantes pal ace were profusely decorated with flow CTS The palace has been given over to the occupancy of MT. Root and his party through the courtesy of the Silva fam fly. Here the Americans were greeted by throngs of students and citizens who en- Enthusiastically cheered speeches by Sec retary Root, Ambassador Nabuco and Ambassador Griscom. The latter. who spoke in Portuguese. made a hit with his auditors.
 Secretary Root and Ambassador Gris- com visited President Avez at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
 Secretary Root was given a banquet this evening by thirty of the most promi- nent men of all parties and literateurs and in reply to speech by Admiral Bar bosa, lauded his new found friends. After the dinner Mir Root attended a reception at the presidents palace which was a brilliant affair.

The Firsts Peanuts.
ne Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
 Few people who buy a bag of peanuts on the street for cents realize the ex- tent of the peanut industry" said A. P. Bryan of Norfolk, Va. ''It is a fact that the total sales of peanuts amount annual ly to between s6,ooo. 900 and SIG. .ooo, 900, and some salesmen sell as high as .ooo,- GOO bushels each year.
 %The seeds of the peanut are planted like beans, and when the vines have come up and the nuts are ready for harvesting the farmer takes cultivator especially made for that purpose and starts down the long rows. On either side of this eul- tivator are two long knives which sink into the ground sufficiently to cut the tap root of the vine. The same process Is gone through with on the other side of the vine. The main root being thus sew cred and the ground loosenec, the vines are lifted into shocks like corn. They are cured by allowing them to stand in
