Young Woman Thought She Was
 Staying M. DurnOv0.
 Tshun, Switzerland, March 2s.--Mlle. Tatiana Leontieff, the Russian wo- man, who murdered a Frenchrnan nam ed Muller at Interlaken in September last, mistalxing him for M. Durnovo, ex- minister of the interior of Russia, was today sentenced to four years solitary com cement and to twenty years ex- pu1sion from the country.
 Mile. Leontieff is a daughter of Gem eral Leontieff, who took an active part in the Russian campaign in Manchuria and who afterwards was governor of one of the Russian provinces and is a niece of the late General Trepofe. She is said to have been concerned in an unsuccessful attempt upon the life of Trepoff in 1905. for which she was confined for some time in an asylum for the insane.
 She was released upon her promise to leave Russia forever and seems to have almost immediately joined the re- voluntionary group in Switzerland. When M. Durnovo went abroad last year, Mile. Leontieff volunteered to execute upon him the sentence of ''tha flying group" of revolutionists of which she was member.
 While several hundred persons were at a dinner in the Hotel Jungfrau, September i, last. Mile. Leontiefr rose from her table. drew a revolver from her reticule and deliberately fired at Charles Muller a Frenchman, who was seated at neighboring table. The first shot inflicted a fatal wound. Af- ter her arrest it came out that Mile. Leontieff had mistaken Muller for M. Durnovo.

INVESTIGATE WRECK
OPINION THAT ACCIDENT WAS
 MIsCREANTs WORK.
Railroad Detectives Go To Thomaston To Endeavor to Ascertain Who Placed the Iron Bar
 Across Track.
Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma March 2H.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma March 2s. ! Investigation seems to confirm the fact that the wreck of the passenger train on the Myrtlewood branch of the Louisville and Nashville near Thomas ton late yesterday afternoon was the work of some miscreant.
 The presence of the piece of iron across the track will be closely inves- tigated by the officials of the road. Railroad destectives have gone to the scene of the accident and will make thorough investigation in the hopes of finding the person who placed the ob- struction on the track.
 Both Engineer Fitzgerald and the negro fireman saw the piece of iron just as the train was going around the curve and both got in readiness to jump. The fireman left the engine first and was unhurt but MT. Fitzger- ald stuck to his engine until the last moment and just as he was about to jump the engine hit the obstruction and turned over before he could get out of the way.
 His remains were brought to the city last night and carried to his res- idence on Sylvan street re funeral services over them took place this af- ternoon and were largely attended by the friends of the deceased.
 The remains were laid to rest in Live Oak Cemetery.

 Custom in Alabama.

Custom in Alabama.
 The Sacramento Bee, a newspaper published in the capital of California, is doubtlessly preparing a brief to show cause why the city of Sacra- mento should, or should not. fete the Legislature of California at its every session. :
 Mayor W. M. Teague had letter yesterday from The Bee asking if the city of Montgomery 'banduetted" or made any other overt or official en- tertainment for the States Legisla- tue. The letter stated that the city of Sacramento had been doing it for some several years and that, so far as The Bee could learn, no other Leg islature in the United States was sim flarly treated by it's capital city.
 Mayor Teague will reply that the city of Montgomery does not banquet the Legislature of Alabama. The in- augural ball given to Governor Conner, while semi official homage to the Gov ernor of the State by it's capital, was not given by the municipality, but rather by the people of Montgomery, whose monetary donations paid the expenses of the ball.

F1nal Decree In Salvage Case.
 Judge Charles Swayne has granted a final decree in the case of the steam pilot boat Pilot against the Austrian steamer Margharita. The cause was one for salvage and the court awarded the pilot boat S2.000.
 The service rendered the Austrian vessel was several months since when she became disabled in the Gulf having sailed out of New Orleans with a val- uable cargo. She was picked up by the steamer Riplingham, but owing to q severe storm raging in the Gulf the latter vessel was unable to make this port in safety with her tow, and the pilot boat went to the assistance.
 Both the Pilot and Riplingham brought libel suits for salvage against the Margharita, and the former was awarded salvage in the above amount The suit of the Riplingham, which was for $45,0o, has been settled in London between the owners by the payment
