The Mobile Register publishes the following letter:
 To the Editor Of The Register:
 I noticed in one of the newspapers the other day that the Governor ef Alabama in speech that he made at a county fair, I believe, alluded In rather derisive terms to the President of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company as "a ffian from Ken- lucky"
 My first recollection of Mfr. M. H. Smith was when Confederate troops were being hurried from Memphis to Corinth about the time of the battle of Shiloh when around the camp fires mem ton was made of the excellent work that a Mir. Smith was doing as rail- road man in handling, with poor equip ment, over the Memphis and Charieston Railroad, thousands of Confederate scl- diers with rapidify and safety. In this matter he did great service under many serious difficulties for the Confectionery; and since that time he has continued to work for the welfare of our South ern States. and as Is well known by -ail' intelligent men of business affairs in Alabama, no State has had more help and benefit froN him than Ala baEaa, and no man liying or dead ever brought about so much toward the, de- veiopment of our State as has MAton H. Smith.
 ] Many of us. no doubt have worked and aided in the development of Ala bama, but MT. Smith had the power and used it to bring about the development / of our coal. Iron and lumber resources

So, even if he does eall Kentucky his home, he has been of more benSfit ,thxough his great and powerful efforts,l than any man who lives or has lived in Alabama.

 MT. Editor, want to say that am writing this of my own accord. re- eeive no favors from the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company. When the coal company in which I am in- terested receives freight over the rail road 1t pays the freight in cash and at the same rate that every one else does, and 1t has always done this
 I own a few shares of stock in the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany. which I paid for out of money for which I worked hard to earn, This stock bought at much higher price than could now sell 1t for, owing to the unwise Legislation aimed at this we'll managed and honestly conducted railroad. Sp have no bitterness about this little matter whatever. I am only one of many stockholders scattered about through the country. and I can stand my little loss. particularly as believe that the good sense of the peo- pie will eventually prevail and a fair deal be given to all in the long run.

MARE SAVED HER COLT.

One of the most remarkable in
stances Of animal ssgaclty that ever
came to light in this section 10 relat-
ed by engineer James Parrott and
conductor Frank King.
When the southbound passenger
train was near Hallsburg mare sud
denly dashed up the track right TO
ward the train, running swiftly. 1t
looked az II she would run right into
the engine, and the air brakes were
quickly applied, slowing the train
down to SIX or seven miles an hour.
Engineer Parrott thought the mare
was blinded by the headlight, but the
train was no sooner slowed down than
the mare turned about and went from
the train, keeping right down the
tracks and making 1T impossible tC
run fast lest the animal be struck.
The mare went straight to bri dge
over creek, and when within short
distance of the bridge Of the railway
1t was discoyered that the colt Of the
mare had fallen with all its feet
through the bridge, placing 1T where
1t would have been killed had not the
mare literally tagged the train. The
mare stopped aud began whinnying
and the train stopped also. Engineer
Parrott, the fireman and some Of the
passengers got of and, relieving Tx
colt, left the mare to trot off with hel
young as proud as peacock. Those
who witnessed the occurrence say II
was wonderful.-Houston Chronicle

JUDGE STILLWELL RE-
SIGNED.

District Judge L. Stillwell. judge
of this. the Seventh Judicial district
of Kansas, has rendered his resigna-
ton to take effect Sept. Ist. Judge
Stillwell has seryed continuously in
this district since January ID, 1884,
longer than any other judge has
served in Kansas.
The bar of the district and almost
every body else are sorry to see the
judge quit the bench where he has
served so long and faithfully and
with such signal satisfaction to the
people.
His resignation at this time is
caused by the protracted illness of
his wife. He feels that he must be
with and look after her az cannot
devote himself to his judicial duties
as has been his habit, Much as we
regret to see the judge leave the
bench, we can but commend the
act, under present conditions.
