Indie's Excess of Widows.

from Tue Lahore TrlDune.
The number Of widows in India is daily
on the increase. Such state of things is
attributed to causes more than one; early
marriage is responsible for the highest
number. The total number of women in
habiting India is 1886 Az. out OF which
% .S91 1856 are widows. which means that
out of every five there is one widow. The
Hindus carry the highest number of wild
ows. which is 10. e3s, 4SS.

lived with purpose in his heart, and now as he was about to pass over the river he could see the beautiful world beyond.
 In early life this Christian purpose gives beautiful hope; in mature years this Christian purpose gives sweet consola- ton.
 In the history of our own beloved church we find some grand examples of But he purposed in his heart" Wa are told that when Cumberland Presby- tery was dissolved and it's members be- gan to fall away one by one that finally when the time came for organization there were only three of the whole num- Der left.
 These three met together in an old log house and. after sp~nding night in prayer. they purposed in their hearts. Thus the Cumberland Presbyterian church was born It is the child of that purpose in the heart It stands today as a monu- ment to the purpose in the heart of King. Ewing and McAdoo.

 Let us not mistake the purpose. It is not the perpetuation of any organiza- tion because of what we nave done for It. but because of what il has done for us, and what it is doing for the world. Because of it's adaptbility to our ideas. Because within it we can work for the salvation of souls more effectively than elsewhere
 Oh, for the spirit of Daniel to purpose in our hearts that we will not defle our selves. There are so many things to defile the Christian character. We dehe our Christian character by measuring it by the worlds yard stick. We do not stand it up by the word of God. We compromise with the world in our prac- tices. We inquire more about what tho world thinks of our conduct than we do about what God thinks of it.

HYMEN IN EVIDENCE
 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Coleman Suspends Trial While He Ties Matrimonial Knot.
 Some Friendly Advice.

The dull monotony of the circuit court. which has been noticeable since the trial of the Virginia mine case commenced, was broken yesterday when George T. Carpenter and Miss Emma Roberson ap- peared before the court.
 Judge Coleman turned over the pages of the court docket and failed to find any case in which the parties mentioned were named as lltlgants, and was about to direct Attorney Johnston to proceed with his argument when he was in- formed the parties desired to be joined in wedlock and wished to have the cere- mony performed by Judge Coleman. The expression on his honor's face changed at once. A kindly, benevolent smile took the place of the stern. rigid lines which close attention to legal technicaltles draws around the corners of the eyes and mouth. A suppressed humor was evident among the jurors. while the attorneys hailed the interruption as propltious omen
 By virtue of his years and experience. Judge Coleman claimed the right to de- liver a few words of advice to the happy couple. He dwelt upon the sanctity of the marriage relation; the duties and respon- abilities of the parties to each other and to society
 MT and Mrs. Carpenter listened with respectful attention to Jndge Coleman's friendly discourse and were evidently highly nattered by the interest taken in them At parting they thanked the judge and bowed their compliments to those present. all of whom joined in wishing the bridal party a happy and prosper ous voyage over lifes tempestuous sea.

RAILROAD WORLD.

The officers of the Frisco system were moved yesterday from the Morris Hotel building to the Brown-Marx building, where very handsome quarters are being fitted up.
 The offices moved are those of Division Freight Agent B. T. Wilcox and Travel ag Passenger Agent Griffith. The space
 the Brown-Marx building is very much la4 r than that in the Morris Hotel bulb was. and the new offices are also more centrally located.
 The fixtures for the new offices have arrived and were being installed yester- day.
 People in the neighborhood of Jasper and the cities and towns along the North ern Alabama railroad are very much in terested fin the construction of a lumber road out of Jasper, running north. It is believed by many that this is line be- ing built by the Illinois Central to run from Jasper to Haleyville, so that the road may come as far as Jasper from Corinth on it's own rails at the earliest possible time.
 As is well known, the Illinois Central is building a line from Corinth to Haley vile, and from the latter place 1t will use the Northern Alabama to Jasper, whence it will use the Frisco into Bir- mingham.
 This lumber road is acquiring a great deal of property in the neighborhood of Jasper and north of that city, and seems to be preparing to get some terminals.
 It is known that the Illinois Central plans to come into Birmingham all the way on it's own rails at an early date. It uses the Mobile and Ohio to get into Corinth. and it is laying rails parallel to the Mobile and Ohio for some distance out of Corinth. The two roads will use this double track jointly, one being the northbound track and the other the south bound This will serve a double purpose, for 1t Is one of the busiest sections of the Mobile and Ohio. and 1t will relieve the congestion on that dne
 conference will be held today be- tween Samuel Spencer. president of the Southern railway, and the head of the Machlnists' union, which has declared a strike in all the shops of the Southern. It is thought that at this conference the differences existing will be settled, and that the machinists will declare the strike off and go back to work.
 In the meantime. however, the Southern is preparing itself for a long and hard fight. It is importing all the machinists that it can secure. and putting them to work in the shops in the various cities. The railroad has succeeded in fully man ming the Birmingham shops and those in some of the other shops on the line.

POLICE PROTECT
 RAILWAY TRACKS
OFFICERS CHECK BOYS CELE- BEATING HALLOWE'EN-TO DOES ExPLoDED-A soAPING EFFORT FRUSTRATED.

The pranks of mischievous boys, who wished to celebrate Halloween by soaping the tracks of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, were nipped in the bud last night when eight police- men guarded those places where formerly such mischief was matched.
 On the Idlewild line at Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street. fifteen torpedoes were exploded by a moving car. This oc- cured shortly after the supper hour, and brought the citizens of the excited neighborhood to the scene. The car was stopped abruptly, the motorman himself believing that something serious was happening. No sooner, however, had this car moved on, and another reached the same spot the opposite track, than there was a repetition of the loud reports. Boys had placed torpedoes on both of the tracks.
 An attempt was made to soap the track of the Rolling Mill Loop line, on Avenue and Eleventh street, but this was frus- trated and Douglass Stret, a youngster about 10 years old, was arrested. Com pared to the trouble last Halloween the night was quiet and peaceful.
 At the request of officials of the railway company Mayor Ward asked Chief Wier to place officers on guard at special places designated The chief was author ized to employ his supernumeraries.

tion be placed on that monument: Here
 was stolen the last democratic vote in
 the state of Alabama
 People Expected Theft. "On the night before the election re-
 turns were all in and the contest was evidently close, everybody knew that a ballot box would be stolen. We all felt it..
 1t had been done before. and we felt that 1t would happen again. Sure enough 1t was. It was one of the smallest boxes in
 the county, containing only forty or fifty votes. but it held the balance of power. The man who stole that box stole every vote in Jefferson county, and it was cer- tainly not Higdon man that committed the theft.
 Tt is charged that gamblers stole the Lewisburg box. They possibly had some interest in the result of the vote con- tained in that box. 1t is said that pos sibly $30,000 or $40 GOO was bet on the eee- tion. Another man had more interest than all the gamblers combined The vital
 question in this campaign is, who stole | that box. Has anyone been indicted? The grand jury has been in session and has adjourned. Was the matter reported to that body? Has anybody been arrested for the theft? And yet everybody in Jefferson i county and the state of Alabama knows that a theft was committed. Who Is in charge of the grand jury, whose duty it is to investigate these matters? Not MT. Aird, 1 hope. He is chairman of the coun- ty executive committee.
 "Will anybody be indicted for gambling
 on the election? When Hinds Peevey came forward with a carload of affi-
 davits of gambling on the election, car loads of affidavits were produced showing that the persons charged with gambling were only taking up church collections. of Wi i say by their votes on November that
 the stealing of ballot boxes and gambling , on elections must stop; that guilty per sons must be prosecuted The election of Colonel Higdon will mean that a bet ter public sentiment has been established in this county and that 1t must be re-
 garded Democrats must be honest with democrats
 .'The action of the county executive committee in declaring Higdon the nomi- nee was legal and final. and should be
 sustained by vote of the people, it will be. The later action of the commit tee in administering an unfair and par tisan trial In the contest is void because it was not done by the power authorized by the people. No judge of d court or any
 juryman can delegate his power to an- other neither can a member of the ex-
 ecutive committee, called to try cause
 in the party, delegate his authority to an- other
 ..The records show that nineteen of the
 men sitting in the trial of the Stiles
 Higdon contest were proxies, and had no
 right to q part in the trial. This Is law"
 In short address. C. E. Powell ex-
 plained the method of marking the official
 ballot so as to vote the regular demo-
 cratic ticket with the exception of Judge
 Stiles, voting for F. l.. Higdon instead.
 He told the voters to avoid placing any
 tx. f hn rf a nf n ffolr-
 ct, and warned them against scratching
 any name on the ballot. He explained
 that a cross mark in front of the candi-
 dates name was all that Is necessary.
