is charged. The recorder. however, thought that there was a reasonable doubt of the -negro's innocence and after a hearing of the evidence. he promptly bound Adams over.
 In a. warrant sworn out yesterday 0. Ehrlich alleges that Adams criminal. ly assaulted his little daughter. Carrie Ehrlich, about 3 o'clock "Wednesday afternoon near the residence of Mir Erhlich at z Winnie street. Adams was employed at an adjoining resi- dence and 1t was alleged that he lurcd the tot into harm where the assaul; was committed.
 At the trial yesterday afternoon fir the office of Police Chief Gerald Adams swore and strongly protested that he was Innocent
 Dr. Gaston GreiI the city physician testified that the little girl was not harmed
 The only testimony that tended tc incriminate Adams was that of the lit tie girl who. in a childish fashion and seemingly not knowing the mean Ing of the words she spoke, said thai Adams had taken her to the barn ant assaulted her
 Fitzhugh Lee Stroud, a boy about six years old. told the court of certain circumstances leading up to the sup. posed assault but hia testimony wat very niuch disconnected.
 Adams as arrested at his place ot work. on Winnie street, at 7:50 o'clock Wednesday night by Police Captair Taylor. and Patroimen Oscar McDade Murrell and Thorn. The negro youth offered no resistance and. at police headauarters. a charge of suspicion was brought against him.

DELAYED BY POLITICS
WORK OF UNITED STATES COURT IS
 POSTPONED.
There Are no Attorneys to Represent the Government Owing tO Un- certainty of the Parsons
 App0intments

Owing to the confused political con- dition in tho office of the United States District Attorney for the Middle Dis trict of Alabama, Judge Thomas G. Jones will not reconvene his court to take up the criminal and civil doclxets until February l.
 when court recessed for the holidays on December 20. the jurors were dis charged until. January 8. But politi@ cal conditions have necessitated postponement of the reconvening of court. The term of Warren S. Reese, district attorney, expires on January Ia, and although Erastus J. Parsons has been named as his successor by President Roosevelt, his appointment has not been confirmed by the Senate and the prospects are that if his ap- pointment Is confirmed 1t will only be after q bitter fight.
 It is understood that Senator Morgan is bitterly opposed to this young law yer going into office, owing to the fact that up to few weeks ago ne was a resident and a citizen of the Northern District of Alabama It Is also known that Senator Morgan Is anxious to de- stroy the power of Federal referees Scott and Thompson, who he mas term ed ''political satrapA" It Is well un- dergtood that the. candidacy of young Parsons was conceived and fostered by the two young Republican State lead CTS.
 The probabilities are that when MT Reese's term expires his successor will not have been confirmed by the Sem ate.
 Assistant District Attorney Julius Sternfeld, 1t will be remembered, was removed from office some weeks ago This leaves in the office of the District Attorney only one man, Assistant Dis trict Attorney J. H. Judkins, who on January 31, becomes United States Marshal for the Middle District to suc- ceed Capt. Leander J. Bryan.
 This leaves the court without pros ecuting officer, and there are many days of the criminal docket ahead and after. wards the civil docket, which is heavy will be taken up.
 Before the May term. Judge Jones hal a term set in Tuscaloosa, but before he holds his first court in the City oi Oaks he intends to have his Montgom- cry docket cleared. Jurors have beer notified of the postponement of thu recon~eniug of court.

 Ts. uAr

New York Jan. 4.--J. c. Harrington. head of an alleged fraudulent matrt- monial agency in New Orleans, was arr rested here today preparatory to being returned to New Orleans.
 He was indicted here for advertise ing the matrimonial offer of an al- legged Creole widow who owned a s100,~ 900 sugar plantation and wanted a husband. These advertisements were inserted during 1904, in newspapers in St Louis, Kansas City and other Southern and Western cities. The wtd- ow was described as very beautiful and hundreds of men answered the ofs fer, writing to the agency at New orr leans which Harrington is said to have conducted
 The agency asked these eorrespons dents to contribute a S5 fee to secure and introduction to the widow.

NIT. FIsk's Animals Are shipped to Ma
 con, GeOrgia.
 Tn a palace horse car on Central of Georgia train two of the swtftest horses in Alabama will leave Montgom' cry for Macon, Ga, this morning.
 They are the two fast horses belong ing to Fred Fisk, Miss Willimont, the sneedy daughter Of Allrlont. and An- ita. a six year old McCuen mare. Mr. Fisk bought her at horse sale Tn Tennessee last summer from J. Camp- hell Brown who had bred her. She has never been in a race and has no offlcial mark at all though she has shown some quarters, halves and miles that would make one stare. Miss Will inont is the pretty little Allmont lilly that came to Montgomery from Pratt- vile some years ago. She was owned by Major Smith of Prattville and was called Alabama" then. The sensation she created at Riverside for the next fe wears will be well remembered oy local lovers of fast horses. Finally she was bought by the late Mir. Plant or Macon. Georgia, while she was being campaigned with string or local horses by Fred Newell. During the next season she was campaigned on tho grand circuit by Roy Miller who
  sone reason was never a success. She had the speed all right but It seems that it was never brought out
 On MT. Plants death MT. Fisk bought the mare whose name had been chang = ed to Miss Willimont, and Miller again campaianed her on the grand circuit. and again there was a failure.
 The two horses will be put in the hands of James Brady who for a year or so past has had charge of the horses belonging to President Mcdowell or the Monon Route. The millionaire railroad man lives in Chicago but Brady win ters and trains the string of horses in Macon, campaigning them on the grand circuit during the racing sea- son. He will campaign MT. Fisk's two horses on the grand circuit during the coming season along with the McDow- ell string.

and that i'm the upper tunnel the rich
ore body was found just beyond this
fault. He induces from this that as
soon as he is through the fault he will
be in the rich ore shoot and accordingly
makes great predictions.
On the Bullfrog Johnnie, the main
working shaft is now down about so
feet and the bottom is in rich ore assay
ing between $40 and $50. A drift was
started on the 10-foot level on the ore
vein which was found to be 5 feet wide
assaying $35 at hat place.
On the Belmont-Johnnie shafts are be-
ing sunk on the Butcher and Wellington
claims. Both of these have the same
vein and on the Wellington it is 7 feet
wide while on the Butcher it is from
four and a half to five feet wide. The
ore is heavily iron stained and assays
about SIS.
On the Battery mines a shaft is being
sunk which is now down so feet show
ing five feet of ore a~ssaying s25. The

pe~rintendent immonds says he is try

thinks underlies his present ledge, as it
has been found in the Johnnie Con-
solidated adjoining this property on the
south. The formation is a lime quartz
lite, and shows considerable concentrates
The leases on Minnie Mae hill are
showing great activity in preparing for
the mill. the machinery of which has al
ready been ordered. The fact of the
drift on the Frost-Rathbone lease on
the 40 level shows the vein to be 5 feet
wide. The vein is being stripped along
the foot wall so that stopping can be
commenced just as soon as the stamps
are dropping. Conservative engineers
estimate that there are about 80 tons OF
ore in sight that will assay into fabul-
Gus figures. On the Bowler lease sink
ing is being continued on the shaft
which is now down about 20 feet. A
drift is being run from the bottom of
the shaft parallel to the upper drift
stripping the vein. Good milling ore and
some shipping rock is being taken out
in the development work. The Beaure-
gard lease is being worked through an
old drift from the Johnnie shaft No. 3

his rich vein at a depth of about 100
feet. B~eauregard estimates that he

EAsrERNERs BUY YELLOWSTONE
MIME AT SILVER PEAK

Fred VoIlmar, one of the old residents
of the Silver Peak district, and who has
always contended that the district
would some day be one of the best in a
state which is becoming noted as the
home of more good mines than any other
in the i-nter-mountain country, received
a cheerful piece of intelligence last
Saturday evening.
Ii was to the effect that the initial
m for his one-half interest in the
Yellowstone group of five claims was
awaiting his order in the bank at Tono-
pah. Mr.. vollmar was not at liberty to
divulge the amount of the consideration,
but stated that it was a very satisfac-
tory sum, and he lost no time in closing
the transaction, the remaining pay
ments to follow in a short time. The
deal was consummated through J. r.
Martin, OF Tonopah, in the interest of a
syndicate of eastern capital which is
supposed to be headed by Charles M.

The copper excitement persists in
predominating to the exclusion OF all
else. Even those mines that are show
ing specimens of free gold are not re-
ceiving the attention they deserve owing
to the furry in copper. The latest deal
is the acquisition of the Big Daisy mine
by Simmons and Woodruff, a local con-
tracing firm, who are erecting a $780,
600 hotel on Johnnie avenue. Though
his firm is doing mainly a contracting
business, they have decided to get in on
the ground floor of some of the mining
propositions.
Thu Big Daisy is located on Mount
Moser, about three miles north of the
Johnnie Consolidated mine. The pro-
p~rietors claim that they have a
copper ledge in quartz that at a shallow
depth shows 5 per cent. The ledge is
capped by specular iron, part of which
is in lime shales and again it shows in
streaks through a lime quartz. 1t is the
intention to continue sinking until a
depth of so feet is reached when drift
ing and prosecuting win be done to de-
termine the richness of the vein.
The Johnni Wonder, in the south
western section grows richer every day.
Browne is still sinking the shaft on the
blanket vein through which run streaks
which assay 50 per cent and show a lit
tie gold. This section is now being
Hooded by prospectors and a number of
deals are reported though no authentic
information regarding them can be OBJ
tanned. The new owners of the Sun
shine group, which is located in this
section, are having their claims sur
veyed with a view of %patenting them and
operating them on a gigantic scale. Carl
F. Schader, the mining expert, said that
his judgmen indicated that a strata of
copper underlay the district running
from northeast to southwest and ex-
tending to Greenwater, which is south
west of here.
In the Johnnie Consolidated on the
zoe level a gigantic fault was explored
which showed the ore to be very much
crushed and disclosed a ledge eight feet
wide which is very rich and shows oc-
c~asional sglims." On the 500 level in
the south drift the ledge is being cross
cut. and shows an average of $50. On
the 500 level in the north drift a cross
cut was run through the ledge which is
) feet wide assaying about SIS.
The lower tunnel of the Globe-Johnnie
has entered one of the step faults that
abound in this district and this is con-
sidered a good indication by the SUI
perintendent. He says hat so far the

erS of Blooms Form
Changing Procession.

Yesterday was a boom time for the
florists Of Washington.
In the morning the shops were
thronged with men and women buying
lilies, roses. and viOlets for their homes
and churches. Occasionally a senti-
mental youth strolled in and casually
spent his last cent on a cluster of
blossoms for his lady love.
In the afternoon the cars were
crowded with people OF all ages carry
ing home clusters of every size and
description There was the old gentle
man with the bunch for the home and
the old lady with another bunch for
the church. There were the middle
aged with flowers for the table and
there were the younger with the blooms
for Sunday display.
Late in the afternoon and even well
into last night there was a good busi-
ness done by the "curbstone brokers' -
the young men ana boys who stood on
the sidewalk and cried their wares to
the passers by with more or less allur-
ing descriptions Of the blossoms they
had to sell. They did not lack pat
rons. There were many who had not
purchased the necessary flowers in the
daytime and who welcomed an oppor-
tunity to get them with as little
trouble as possible.
Altogether the city. the ~Ivements.
the wagons, the street cars. and the
moving multitudes were a constantly
changing floral procession. Violets
