POLICE COURT.

Yesterday was busy time for Judge
Feagin. BY o'clock something like a
hundred cases had been disposed of and
a total OF s26S in fines collected by his
clerk. The court room was packed with
witnesses and friends. the latter supplied
with the where-withal to pay the i'm
pending fines of those souls peeping
through the bars if the big iron cage
The morning session was noticeable FOR
the number of trials for gambling. A
total of thirteen men, whites and ne
groes were tried and convicted, the fines
ranging from $40 to s25 in each case. The
unusual number of gambling cases was
due to the results of two raids made
Sunday.
ALI Jefferson, the negro who led OFF,
Ger Elledge such a long chase Monday,
was bound over to the grand jury on
three distinct charges. Charged with high
way robbery, his bond was fixed at $500;
for burglary and grand larceny he was
bound over in the sum of $500 and was
held to the grand jury for criminal as
sault on a $3.50 bond.
Neal Hudson, negro, was convicted
of stealing a side of bacon from Swift
& Co., and was given $50 and so days
Much amusement was elected from the
spectators and even from the court itself
by the pitiful appeals made for mercy
by three Italians, accused of settings
goods on Sunday. On being asked to tel
his story each one burst forth with a
food of words, evidently intended for
English, but which were absolutely UNI
Ineligible to the majority of those
present. Faster and faster came the
sounds as the Judges countenance re-
manned unmoved, and more and more
wildly did the prisoners gesticulate in
the endeavor to soften the heart of the
bench. But II was van-not feature
changed, not a word did the Judge say
until finally there came a pause as the
speaker would try to get his breath. when
the gently uttered words, Fifteen dol
lars put sudden stop to the flow OF
oratory.

Hon. J. o. Thompson, Chairman of Re-

the State of Alabama, Birmingham, Ala
Dear Sir-r hereby announce myself a

of the republican party of Alabama for
the office of lieutenant governor of the

I feel that under the new constitution
of the state of Alabama there is a good
opportunity to build up the party in Ala

mary every registered voter has an equal
showing before the people of Alabama
am indeed glad to have lived to see the
time when the white man and the eolored
camp follower at the so-ealled conven-
tons, with pockets full OF meal tickets"
can no longer shape the destiny of the
party in Alabama.
Under our constitution every man who
possesses the qualifications laid down in
the constitution has a perfect right to
be registered and every registered voter
has a perfect right to seek any office In
Alabama. Yours truly, AID. WINDS

.CARCASUS TROUBLE
FAR FROM SETTLED.
Armenians and Tartars are in
Bitter Strife
RUSSIANS ENTER THE FRAY
Fighting Has Become So Hot at
shuska That Urgent Appeal Has
Been Made for Rein
forcements.
RUSSIANS ENTER THE FRAY

st. Petersburg, July S0.-As anticipated
in these dispatches July %, the triangular
truce between Armenians, Tartars and
the Russian troops before Shusha was of
the briefest nature The display of white
flags and the naming of representatives of
the warning factions to arrange lasting
peace, was but prelude TO the resump-
ton of hostilities yesterday upon a larger
and bloodler scale.
The fighting is not only in full progress
at Shusha itself Ca town of 10000 people,
$50 miles to the southeast of Tif1is), the
Tartar quarter of which apparently is in
flames, but it has spread to the surround
ing country There the Tartar popula-
ton has risen and is striving TO over
whelm the Armenians and the Russian
troops.
General Zoloschakov, In command of the
Russian forces, has appealed urgently for
achievements A battalion of riflemen at
Yelizavetpol, the nearest point where
there are soldiers, already has been dis
patched to the scene. 1t is worthy of
note that the Russians, who in the dis
orders Of last year were accused of pro-
tecting the Tartars from Armenian at
tack, are now themselves hard pressed by
the Mohammedan hordes
Regular Campaign Is On.
Advices received from Tilis dated yes
terday show that a regular campaign is
progressing between Armenians and Tar
tars in that section. Yesterday large
force of Tartars attacked Askeran Pass,
which was occupied by Armenians, but
were unable to break the Armenian cor
don. Fighting is now going on tn the
villages of Haramurt, Haladad and Kar-
anlukh.
The Tartars are concentrating against
Askeran Pass.
On July q Kurds attacked the villages
of Kalbalikened and Kiermischan, and
were endeavoring to force entrance
into Shusha. At the latter place they
were repulsed by Russian troops.
News received here from Yelisavetpol
says that communication between Agdam
and Shusha has been interrupted for five
days. Firing between Armenians and Tar
tars continued from July % to July rs.
The fighting near Shusha increased in
severity on July % and resulted in the
burning of the town. The government has
dispatched endorsements to the scene.

The baggage and express cars, which
were Immediately behind the mail car,
were made of wood. They followed the
steel car in its plunge down the embanlk-
ment. but the wooden cars were smashed
to smithereens.
Heretofore in wrecks of this kind. and
also in collisions, the mail cars have usu-
ally suffered the most damage, as being
at the front of the train, the cars In tie

has been loss of life, the names of postal

Mr.. Stallings and Mr.. Knox In
dulged In Some Minor
Personalities.

Fort Payne, July S0.-(Speeial.) This
was a great political day for DeKalb
county. Being the first day of the SUM
mer term OF the circuit court there was
an immense crowd present and the day
the juries not being organized until )
O'Clock In the afternoon.
Four Of the candidates for alternate
United States senatorship were present
and made speeches. All was good humor
with the exception that the speeches of
stallings and Knox became spirited and
took the turn of earnest attacks upon
each other.
Mr.. Fits spoke first and confined him
self strictly to national issues and mat
ters likely to arise in the United states
Senate. He made striking exposition
of the conditions in the Senate and the
growing disposition of the aggregated
monopollstle corporations to gain control
of the United States Senate.
Mr.. stallings was the second of the
senatorial candidates to be introduced.
and he discussed state issues in large
measure, saying that the railroad COR
porations dominated the politics of the
state and the democratic state executive
committee, and he became personal as
to Mr.. Knox.
Mr.. Knox was next introduced. and
he became cruelty sarcastic in his re-
Spouse to Mr.. Stallings He defended his
record In turn and attacked that of Mr..
Stallings.
Mr.. Clarke was the last of the sena-
torial aspirants to be heard, and the por-
ton of his address wherein he paid tri-
butte to Senator Morgan and described
how the force bill was defeated because
Senator Morgan was able to speak 1t to
death ELECTED loud applause.
All of the speeches were in the ut
most good nature and contained the most
generous compliments and references to
each other and the absent candidates,
and the only incident approaching part-
san debate was the passage between Mr..
Mr. Knox and Mr.. Stallings. Mr.. Fits
and Mr.. Clarke were particularly pleasant
and complimentary to one another and
mentioned their opponents In the very
falrest and manifest way possiblbe.
There were a number of other candi
dates for state offices also present who
made speeches Among them were Mr..
Ward and J. A. Wilkinson, for commits
sioner Of agriculture; Maj John @. Har-
ris, for railroad commissioner and Mr..
Meador and Mr.. O'Neal for lieutenant
governor All made able speeches.
John II. Bankhead, senatorial candi-
date, will speak here tomorrow. Judge
