JURY IN DOWD CASE
 FINALLY DISCHARGED
After Being Out Two Days the Jury Failed to Agree-Defendant
 In Jail.

After being out for over two days the jury in the case of the State of Alabama vs. Harry Dowd alias New York Harry returned into court yesterday morning and stated that there was no prospect whatever of their agreeing to verdict. The jury was discharged and mistrial recorded.
 This case has excited unusual interest on account of the history of the parties who have already figured in it. When Miller and Duncan were tried for the kill ing of two policemen on the night that the Standard Oil safe was robbed, they stated that New York Harry did the shooting which killed the officers. For a long time it was believed that New York Harry was a myth, but the arrest of a man in Connecticut who was said to be known by that name and whose appearance was through to resemble a photograph which is supposed to represent the man spoken of by Duncan and Miller started up the detectives of this city with the result that they brought him here for trial.
 The defendant put in the plea of mis- taken identity, which means that he is not the man wanted. Upon this plea the state joined issue and witnesses testified both ways some saying he was the man who was with the Mller-Duncan gang and others testifying that he is not the man. It was upon this conflict of testimony that the jury failed to agree, and 1t is stated were equally divided.
 The defendant was taken back to jail to await the action of the grand jury which meets on Monday next.

Habit-fOrming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines con taining injurious ingredients as broadly published in some som journals j. of % more or heen of great benefit in arousing needed attention to thts subject, It has, in considerable measure. resulted in the lnost intelligent people avoiding. such foods and medicines as may be fairly sus- pected of containing the injurious lngre- fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, utoox time by the forelock," as 1t were, and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi- cines are composed. Thus he has com pieteiy forestalled all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise De urged against his medicines. because they are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper it will be seen that these medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious agents, their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing Tn the depths of our American forests and Of we'll recognized curative virtues.
 Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate eases of diseases, becomes highly obJec- tfOudDlc lTOm ltS ltilocuCl tO PiOubeo '" craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em- ploys chemically pure, triple refined glycerine, which of itself is valuable remedy in many cases of chronic diseases, being superior demulcent. antiseptic, antiferment and supporting nutritive. It enhances the curative action of the Golden Seal root, Stone root. Black Cherry bark and BlOodroot, contained in wGolden Medical Discovery" in all bron- chial. throat and lung affections attended with severe coughs. As will be seen from the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover Coe, of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffer- son Medical College. Phila.; Scudder, of Cincinnati; Ellingwood. of Chicago i; Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand as leaders in their several schools of practice, the foregoing agents are the rery best ingredients that Dr. Pierce could have chosen to make up his fla nous rDiscoveryn for the cure of not only bronchial, throat and lung affec-. tions but also of chronic catarrh in all its various forms wherever located.

Already twelve miles of the new 75-pound rail has been delivered along the route and Superintendent Parsons will com mence laying 1t in a short time. The Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company is rolling several thousand tons for the Seaboard, and in a short time enough to lay twelve miles more of track will be delivered to the railroad.
 When this work is completed the Sea board will make faster schedules between Birmingham and Atlanta. The entire line will be laid with heavy rails. The road bed will have settled by that time and the ballasting will be heavy, making the road bed one of the very best in the south
 Work has commenced on the additional story to the building of the Louisville and Nashville railroad on Morris avenue. A third story will be added to that DOT ton of the building occupied by the su- perintendent's office on the second floor and the Southern Express company on the first floor.
 This addition was made necessary by the increased office force in the operating department, as there was not enough room for all the men with offices on that floor.
 W. L. Seddon. chief engineer of the Seaboard, has issued an order appoint ing V. E. Melee, Jr.. assistant engineer of the Seaboard at Birmingham, succeed ing c. H. French. resigned. The appoint ment was effective on May l.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS TO
 SECURE THE CONNECTS

M. NJ. Richey. first vice president of the sloss- Sheffield company. stated last night that he did not know of this visit of MT. Sullivan He said that some time ago an effort was made by the Mobile author- ties to secure possession of the convicts. but that 1t failed.
 The trouble grew out of a report carried to Mobile that the convicts of that county working in the mines of the Sloss com pany less than twenty in number, were not treated as well as the state convicts. This led to an investigation by commit tee, 1t is said and the trip of MT. Sulli- van is supposed to be the result of this investigation.
 The officials of the Sloss-Sheffield com- pany claim that they have given the coun- ty convicts the same treatment that they give the state convicts, providing all alike with the best clothing and food.
