RECORD OF COURTS

The most important matter taken up in the court house yesterday was the case of Rachel Nelson admlnistratrix. vs the Alabama Steel and Wire company, which went to trial in the circuit court.
 The case arose out of the explosion in Virginia mines a year ago yesterday, in which Ill lives were lost The hus- band of Rachel Nelson was among the killed, and she Is suing tho operators of the mines for heavy damages, alleging that the defendants failed to properly safeguard the lives of the employees.
 The case was set In the circuit court for Monday, but was passed in order to allow the defendants to make showing of absent witnesses. This was done yes- terday when court opened, and the or ganiaing of a new jury was begun. This brought about much trouble and delay, owing to the fact that number of the men drawn to serve as jurymen in the circuit court this week were related to one or more of the victims of the explo- sion Additional veniremen were drawn from the jury box, but again there was the same trouble encountered, so that 1t was not until late in the afternoon that a jury was finally obtained. The attorneys for the plaintiff are Frank S. White & Sons, and for the de- fense Tillman, Grubb, Bradley and Nor row. It is expected the case will con- sume two or three days because of the large number of witnesses to be exam ined, and for the further reason that the case is to be hard fought.
 Throughout the day the circuit court room was crowded with witnesses and idle spectators, all apparently eager to | hear again the details of the explosion.
 The actual beginning of the trial will be had this morning. and the whole story of the explosion will be told again by persons actually on the scene. Many of the witnesses for both sides were among those who escaped death by d narrow margin in the explosion.
 In the criminal court there was diff culty in transacting any business because of the fact that the docket was composed principally of cases in which the de- fendant was out on bond. The great number of these defendants failed to ap pear for trial yesterday, and their cases were passed. Capias orders and writs of forfeiture were issued in each of those cases. In cases where the defendants were present the necessary witnesses were absent, hence those cases were passed also.
 The following business was transacted in the city court yesterday:
 Nancy Lucille Lavender vs. the Bir- mlngham Railway. Light and Power com- pany, judgment for the plaintiff for s25 by consent.
 Melvin M. Tally vs. the Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing company, on trial.

For Arrest of Stsnsland Which Ex-

WINGED that if Paul o. Stensland, the
wrecker of the Mliwau:aae Avenue

Stensland, who forged notes to the
amount of nearly 100000 and who is
thought to be the most skillful bank
torger of the age, is believed to be in
this countr yand no stone Is being
left unturned to secure his arrest.
A reward of $4,000 which has been
offered for his apprehension, has rons'
ed the deepest interest of police and
detectives everywhere so that his
chances for escape are gradually be
ing reduced to a minimum.
The Pittsburg and Texas clews are
being followed with pertinacity, but
thus far no definite trace of the miss

That Stensland made extensive pre-
parations for flight far in advance OF
the crash that same later is evidenced
by the scarcity of clews that might

COMES HIGH.
In Texas Where Candidates For Gov
ernor Spend $25 to Secure a
$500 office.

San Aantonio, Tex, Aug, 19.--The
first campaign in Texas under the new
Terrell election law has just been com
pleted and the ruslts snow that 1t
cost the candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor a huge for
tune to make the race. The law re-
quires affidayits to be made OF all
expenditures and these have been
filed by the candidates at various
points of Texas.
r. M. Campbell of Palestine, the can
didate receiving the highes number
u votes, spent SIS ,000.GG. The salary
Of the governor of Texas is oily $4,000
pear year. To reimburse HIMSELF he
would have to serve practically two
terpfs as governor, four yesrs, with
out any expenses.
M. NJ Brooks, second man, spent
lS13S52.54; Colquitt. $9,S06P7 and
Bell, 50 1896; or all candidates spent
Of their personal funds siS,05I42
This does no include the amounts
| spent by the campaign IHdltSeiS III
the various counties of T@as. In
Bexar county, for instance, h round
figures, Campbell spent $500, lel $500,
Colquitt $3.50 and Brooks $50, or a
total of 1000
This is a. fair averaged of the
amount spent in all the larf Texas
counties, about fifty in number A
conservative estimate would slow that
| the campaign managers h these
counties spent not less than 100000
Allowing $4,000 for expenditures
in the small counties, the grind total
in the race for Governor would have
been close to a quarter of | million
dollars.
