HOWE & STETSON COMPANY
AFFAIRS STILL INTHE HANDS OF
 TWO COURTS.

Original Petition for Bankruptcy is Not
 Pressed-But Other Obstacles Have
 Appeared-COurt Defers Matter of
 Appointing Permanent Receiver.
 The matter of the receivership pro ceedings in the ease of Elbridge L.. Howe vs. the Howe & Stetson company came up at the short calendar session of the superior court yesterday fore noon on the question of making the ap- pointment of Colonel R. $. Woodruff, who was the choice of many of the creditors as temporary receiver, per- manent. The appointment of two ap- praisers was also to be adjusted.
 Judge Thayer held that as the case had not been as yet returned to the su- perior court and as he was concluding his connection with the closing term of this court in New Haven, he would sim ply confirm the appointment of the temporary receiver, leaving with Judge Roraback who is to follow him, the UuHSlIOIl Ol lIlcbh4ll3 lllC clPPNAAASNAASA S@ the temporary receiver permanent. He so ruled, He would not appoint ap- praisers.
 Some objection was raised to the mat ter of a receivership on the ground that no answer had been made to the bank ruptcy proceedings now before the United States court. At this counsel re- piled that answer was made to the bankruptcy complaint on Tuesday, which answer set forth, from Adjuster Greenwald in behalf of New York cred- itors and from others. that they were willing to have the temporary receiver confirmed in behalf of the GreenWald and other creditors. He added that if the arrangement was carried out bankruptcy proceedings would not be pressed.
 The bulk of the creditors seem to fav- or an adjustment that will result in settlement on a satisfactory basis. This seemed to be the tone of interviews with them yesterday.
 Attorney Morehouse, of the law firm of Alling, Webb & Morehouse said be represented claims amounting to $69,OO and he favored a receivership.

These coats are certainly the crowning event of the tailors' art, and are as near perfection as 1t is possible to get. Each coat is made from the latest and most ap- proved pattern, and the fabric is the best obtainable. The style and finish are very catchy and up to date and to see them is equivalent to purchase. Now a word as to the prices. They range from $1O to S25. Those prices are far below their real value. But John son wants to have his patrons pleased every time, and it Is his habit to give them every benefit that lies in his pow CT.

suit of intensive poultry raising carried to it's ultimate conclusion.
 But to the ordinary man or woman who would like to go Into the business the results obtained by people of small means are of more interest. All over the State may be found people who are making good livings out of their flocks of fowls. They have started in small way and increased their flocks gradu- ally until now they have enough to bring them an income sufficient to pro- vide them with all the comforts of life any many of the luxuries as well. Near Petaluma are to be found many women who own small poultry farms and who are leading independent lives, filled with health and happiness. These women came to the country broken in health and poor in purse but they have recovered their health and are now en- jCying the fruits of their labor. Take, for instance the experience of two sis ters, who came to California from the East five years ago. Both were teach ers but under the strain their health broke down. They were advised to go where they could get plenty of fresh air, and chose California. They bought three acres of land near Peta- luna and began in a small way to raise chickens Their place has now cost. them, with the fowls, $S,25O, and they have refused $7,OOO for it, for they know of no other way in which they could in- vest that amount of money and get the returns now obtain from their poultry. They are both strong and healthy and no money could tempt to go to teaching again.--New York Tribune.

GADSDEN PLEASED
 BY SALE OF ROAD
THE CHATTANOOGA SOUTHERN PASSES THROUGH SOME RICH COUNTRY AND GIVES GADSDEN IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS.

Gadsden October S.-tSpeciaL)-Th news of the purchase of the Chattanooga Southern railroad by the Louisville and Nashville was received with great satis- faction here. 1t has been known for some- time that since the death of Russell Sage, who was one of the principal stockhold- CTS, that the property would be disposed of. Several of the southern systems. in- cluding the Seaboard and Frisco, made persistent efforts to acquire the property during the life time of MT. Sage, but without success. The road runs from this city to Chattanooga. distance of ninety one miles, and traverses a narrow valley with Lookout mountain on one side and Little Iron mountain on the other. both of which have rich deposits of both iron and coal. Some of the finest peach orch ards in northern Georgia and eastern Aia- bama are along the line of the road also. The opening of this route by the Louis vile and Nashville will give Gadsden quick service to Birmingham and Chat tanooga, something she has never enjoyed heretofore. as the Alabama Great South ern passes five miles west of this city, and the connections are often tedious and vexing to the public.

Montgomery October 3-(Special)- President w. H. Seymour of the Alabama division of the Cotton association. has re- ceived reports enough to justify him in the estimate that the crop of Alabama was hurt at least 25 per cent by the storms of last week. He believed that the crop in Alabama was at least 20 per cent short before that time, which would give a total shortage of the season of some thing like 35 per cent.
 MT. Seymour now has reports from forty counties and the record of devasta- .tion is pitiable. Whole fields have been destroyed and in many cases the fields are ruined. The only section of the state that escaped maximum injury Is the east ern section and some portions to the north, where the cotton was not knocked from the bolls. But these cases the sprouted in the bolls.
 In the southern section the trouble is two and three fold. Not only is the cot ton knocked from the bolls and sprouting, but even now 1t Is impossible to get any sort of labor to help take care of what is' left. The mills and turpentine fac tories took the labor so that the cotton could not be picked and as a result the storm caught the fields full of the well opened lint

Meridian, Miss. October 3.-(Special.)- Willie Johnson, fifteen-year-old son of B.. F. Johnson, while skating on the side walk around the court house, struck a small piece of coal and broke his right arm below the elbow in his fall. This is the second accident of similar na- ture at the same place within the past ten days. The accident occasioned only a temporary suspension of the pleasure of the other children.
 The negro ministers of Meridian, at a meeting In the First Congregational church, adopted strong resolutions con demning crimes, vice and dives and urg- ing a united effort among the race to rise to a higher level of manhood and womanhood by uniting their efforts with the conservative whites.

COlumbiana, October 3.-(Special. )-Cir- cult court began nere today with one of the largest crowds in attendance ever seen before. Judge Pelham and Solicitor Burr came in on the Southern at 2:30 p. m., drove to the court house and in less than thirty minutes had the wheels of justice fairly moving. The dockets, how ever, is light this term, thereby making a record for Shelby county
 The City Drug Store. formerly owned by Latham & Bird, has been sold to Latham & Latham. MT. Bird has sold his interest in order to take up other work.
 The recent rains have ruined the crops of Shelby county for this season. Mir Robertson of this place. who owns an ex- tensive plantation on Yellow Leaf creek has reported his loss to be about 2OO0 bushels of fine corn. The cotton in this section is sprouting from the bole, having on each sprout three or four leaves
 The large county bridges across Waka- hatchee and Camp Branch creeks. have been swept away, thereby making the road between Columbiana, Shelby Springs and Calera impossible.
 The commissioners court was in ses- sion today for the purpose of buying furniture and fixtures for the new court house, but the recent bad weather hay ing retarded the building so much, the purchase was postponed until Novem- Der 12.

I make 1t to your order-send it to you you wear 1t, and if 1t doesn't satisfy you send 1t back to me and I will refund your money. That is the fairest proposi tion ever made by rupture specialist. The banks or any reliable citizen here in Marshall will tell you that Is the way I do business-always, absolutely on the square.
 Here is what Mir Jas. Britton, prom inent manufacturer of Bethlehem, Pa |, writes:
 70. F.. Brooks, Esq Dear Sir:-I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with 1t till I got your appll- ance. It is very easy to wear, fits neat and snug, and Is not in the way at any time. day or night. In fact at times did not know I had 1t on. It just adapted It. self to the shape of the body and clung to the spot no matter what position l was in. It would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture, if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Ap- plance and wear 1t. They certainly would never regret it. My rupture Is all healed up and nothing ever did it but your ap- plance. Jas. Britton."
 If you have tried most everything else, come to me. Where others fail is where I have my greatest success. Write me toda y and I will send you my book on Rupture and it's Cure, showing my appliance and giving you prices and names of people who have tried it and been cured. It is instant relief when all others fail. Remember I use no salves, no harness. no lies Just a straight business deal at a reasonable price. c. E. Brooks. 1858 Brooks Bldg., Marshall, Mich.

ALABAMA CROP IS HURT
 AT LEAST 20 PER CENT

ing. 'I hardly see what the people will do to recover from it."
 Another feature of the situation has been presented in the remark Of well known planter, who says that in many parts of Montgomery's territory the dam age is so great to individual farmers that there will have to be some means devised to help them back on their feet They have lost their crops in many cases and have no way to pay their debts. This will have to be looked after and there has been talk in an indefinite way of planning to help those who are thus put out of the running.
 The crop was alreadhy in bad shape in Montgomery territory and the storm came along and in many sections completed the destruction. The cotton knocked from the bolls Is strewn upon the ground and beginning to come up again and the weather has been so wet since the storm as to make 1t impossible to save any of the crop thus thrown to the dirt. It is also deplorable fact that other crops are ruined, including corn and vegetables which were thought to be saved The corn is thrown down and often the ears are picked up a mass of growing seeds, germinated anew by the damp soil

Body Found In coosa River.

Gadsden, Ala October a-(Special.)- The dead body of a man was found float ing in the river at Riverside below this city this morning. No description of the body could be obtained except that he had the appearance of having been in the water for some time. No one is missing from this city or section and it is evident that the body came from above this city as some workmen saw the body of man floating above the bridge and made an attempt to catch 1t, but owing to the water being so high and swift they failed to land it and this is believed o be the sawe found this morning.
