the Twenty-sixth state senatorial district,
met at the New MADISON hotel this morn
ing and nominated H. p. Merritt, well
known young lawyer of Tuskegee, for the

one county to have the senator one time
and the other county the other, there
being but two in the district. The meet
ing was held here because it was more

The Alabama river is still on a high
horse and will not get back to anything
like what it should be for several days.
The gauge read this afternoon 1905 and
will go to 49 by midnight, when it will
begin to recede Most of the lowlands
of the territory from above Wetumpka
to Selma are under water, but as crops
have not been planted the damage is
hot so great as if the freshet had come
later.
However there have been a. number
of fences fioated off and in many cases
the land has been badly washed The
waters are running high in the tributary
streams as well as the Alabama, which
will make the receding a slow progress.
The weather bureau has sent warnings
all over the territory to be affected by
the waters and there will be no trouble
to hedge against it.

One boats crew of six men reached
Cape Beale about p. m. Tuesday. The
survivors say that great number were
drowned in trying to leave the ship.
Nine men got ashore about fifteen
miles from Victoria. Two men are
prisoners on the face Of the cliff and
cannot get up or back to the ship. The
sea will likely reach them whom the
tide is high
The men report pathetic scenes. One
woman dropped her child into the sea
in trying TO hand 1T to her husband. A
little boy of years is running around
the deck trying to find his mother, who
is among the drowned.
There are still about 125 persons on
the ship, with almost certain death
staring them in the face. The steam
err Queen left Victoria at 3 p. m. for
the wreck
Carmanah reports that ships boat
people in it. 1t is reported that the
whaling steamer Orion has arrived at
the scene of the Valencia wreck from

that a gale has been in progress on

ore6 to climb in the buggy, but her
foot was caught between the spokes
of the front wheel. Her leg was
twisted and the bones were broken
square off and hung by the flesh, while
the stocking covering her limb was
drawn into the flesh. The young girl
fell backward in the movement OF the
buggy, her head falling between the
hind wheel and the box. Her hair be-
came entwined around the axle of the
wheel and for mile she was dragged
in this condition.
Two men, F. Cooper and f. Oar
mer, who were driving a short dis
lance back, saw that Miss Smiths
horse was running away and they
whipped up their horses to overtake
her, and by circling around the horse
succeeded in stopping the animal
They extricated the girl from h"r posi-
ton by cutting the hair from her head,
so tightly was it wound around the
wheel. She was bruised terribly and
was partly unconscious.
The men took the young lady to
her home Immediately and Drs. b. A.
and c. e. Robb and Dr. King were
summoned to the residence in Perry
| township. They found it necessary to
amputate Miss Smiths limb a little
below the knee.

The Supreme Court Has Decided in
His Favor.
In the case of the state of South
Dakota VS.. II. L. Hubbard, appeal from
Beadle County, has been remanded by
the supreme court for a new trial.
This is what is known as the Cake
bread murder case, tried before Judge
Whiting here in September, 1904, re-
sulting in the conviction of II. l.. Hub
bard for the killing of G. W. Cake
bread, and the sentencing of Hubbard
to the penitentiary for fifteen years.
The judgment of the lower court is
reversed on the ground that the court
erred in not granting certain instruc-
tons to the jury asked for by the
counsel for the defendant. This was
to the effect that the court only in
structed as to murder and manslaugh-
ter in the first degree, when man.
slaughter in the second degree should
also have been presented and ex-
planned to the jury.
