INTERESTING POEM WRITTEN
BY AN OLD GENTLEMAN

The following poem entitled THE
Hammock" was recently written by
William T. Mink OF Columbus. Ohio,
an uncle OF Mrs. Hardy Sayre OF this
city. Mr. Mink Is ninety years old
and is a great student and literary
worker despite his advanced age:
THE HAMMOCK.
At close OF day when shadows east
ward fail,
And night begins to shed her dusky
pail,
While insect songsters meet to tune
their lay.
Full sweet as merry voice Of child At
play;
And mild zephyrs watt perfume Of
flowers.
Through beauteous trees and vine clad
bowers,
And tuneful bells for vespers gently
ring,
1 to my hammock HE and swing.
1 look on the sky, entranced with the
view
or fieecy white mountains, valleys Of
blue,
Away to the east the wild lightnings
dance,
As twinkling stars to the zenith ad-
vance.
Anon floats the moon, fair queen of
the night,
Completing the view, so charmingly
bright;
This magical scene dame nature doth
bring,
As prone in my hammock I swing.
Ravishing sight OF Omnipotent art,
That thrills me with thoughts I cannot
impart:
Time is at hand when I'll sec 1t nc
more,
Passing from life to eternity's shore
When earth with its joys and sorrowa
I've past
To dwell in the land Of spirits at last
When death, grim leveler, strikes with
his sting,
No more in my hammock ri swing.

LAST OF GANG IS
 CAUGHT BY STONE
Negro Was Badly Wanted For Numer- ous Robberies of Cars In the
 Yards.

r. C. Stone, special agent for the Sea boare Air Line company. captured yes terday one of the boldest and most des- perate car robbers with which the police have had dealings in long time. Franchy Gillian is the negro's name, and he was apprehended yesterday only atter being bounded for more than eight months
 Gillian is badly wanted by all of the railroads, as he has stolen probably hun dreds of dollars worth of goods from the cars of the various companies. He is wanted on four charges of burglary and grand larceny, having several times broken into the cars of the Seaboard, Alabama Great Southern. Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads.
 The negro is about % years old and is the last of the well known Charley Shack gang of car robbers. Gillian is himself well known and it ss surprising that he has evaded the authorities so long. MT. Stone has been trailing him over the road for about eight months, and at last succeeded yesterday afternoon in nabb.ng him on First avenue between Eighteenth ana Nineteenth streets.
 The Charley Shack gang was unfor- innate from the beginning, Since they went into business in the railroad yards they have been caught one by one, and Gillian was the last The other members of the gang have been convicted and have been sentenced to all the way from IS months to IS years imprisonment

ADJUSTMENTS.
aRin Van Winkle."

Rip Van Wrinkle with all his refresh ing quaintness in the person of Thomas Jefferson. spent last evening in Birming- ham at the Jefferson theatre, and those who had first met Rip in Joseph Jeffer- son felt no disappointment in his son. So natural was he that one drifted back 100 years and could well imagine him self in the village of Falling Water or the highest perts of the Catskill mountains. It made one regret with pang when the final curtain dropped on the sixth act, and long to see 1t all over again.
 The cast which supported Thomas Jef- ferson was worthy of their star. Maggie Moore as Gretchen and Walter Colligan as Derrick von Beekman V re so unstagy that the audience can forget them. Lauretta Jefferson as Meenie and Horace Mitchell as Hendrich Vedder, in the last two acts, also proved themselves talented. Olive McVine and Ruth McVine, the chill dren who played the parts of Little Heindrich and Little Meenie in the first part made friends of everybody, while Charles Duval and Phyllis Morten were also good.
 Rip Van Wrinkle drew full house last night and Thomas Jefferson can always expect to get one here just as long as he plays the part.

NEGRO FATALLY SHOT.
Two Men QuarreIed at Graces Over
 Use of Wash Basin.

Charley Clay, a negro. was shot and very serious and probably fatally wounded by another negro yesterday morning at Graces. Clay it seems was employed in the Louisville and Nashville construction gang which is now working at Graces.
 According to the story told by some of the negro workmen, all of the negroes were just getting up and were taking their turn at the wash pan. Clay had just poured out some water in the pan to bathe his face and hands when the other negro entered and told him to get out of the way and give him the water. Clay refused and the difficulty which fol- lowed resulted in Clay being shot in the side of the neck, the bullet ranging down into the opposite shoulder. He Is badly wounded.
 As soon as possible after the shooting the wounded man was placed on hand car and brought to Birmingham. Shaw X Sons ambulance met the car at Four teenth street. received the wounded man and carried him to St. Vincent's hospital.

ON THE GOVERNORS TRAIL

snappy, chopped-off voice, Cant a man have a few hours hunting on his own farm. without a bunch of you fellows trailing around after him? I think I'll just fill you full of buckshot."
 Gov" shrieked the soaked sponge Please remove that gun, it tickles my throat That's better. Say, did you know that Judge Jones has gotten out another injunction?'
 What's that you're saying?' musing ly queried the governor, as he pulled down a rabbit that danced between the reporters legs and walked over to pick it up. As he took it in his hand. the little ears stood up. and there emitted from it's mouth the puff as of a stalled To- comotive Then it's little pink eyes rolled over and looked up so pitifully, as the governor put it in his knapsack.
 What pitiful tales these fellows do wag," commented the voice but. my boy, we've got 'em bagged now They may kick and squeal but they're caught.
 DO you see all these beautiful woods and hills? Who shall rule them the state of Alabama or Milton H. Smith or the federal eourt?"
 Thus speaking, the governor disap- peared humming a Thanksgiving hymn, while the reporter. with several mighty tugs, pulled his feet out of the low ouartered shoes which were stuck fast in the mud, and ran barefooted ten miles to the telegraph station, where. after scratching his head, he decided that he didn't know anything after all.

control the offcer--the mandate of court or the plain behests of the law The court as well as the inferior of ficer must be governed by the law Where the law imposes a positive duty upon public functionarH and q court commands him not to perform it, he must obey the law and disobey the writ of the court"
 The foregoing statement was ap- proved by the supreme court of West Virginia, in the case of Alderson vs. Commissioners 25 Am. St. Rep. $40. And in the case of Old Dominion Telegraph company vs. Powers, 1fO Ala 22O, Justice Dowdell, citing many au- thorities, said
 "Where the court is without jurls- dlction, it logically follows that there can be no contempt In the disobedience of void order. The proposition that where the injunction is void for want of Jurisdiction in the court the de- fendant cannot be punished by con tempt proceedings for disregarding It., is supported both on reason and au- thorlty.'
 1t is my opinion that the princlples of law heranabove quoted are sound. Numerous other authorities might be cited to the same effect. but those given will suffice for your purpose. Yours very truly.

TAKEN IN AMBULANCE.
Old Man Injures Himself By Falling
 While Intoxicated.

An old white man, apparently about bo years old took just one step too Tar In the celebration of Thanksgiving yester- day afternoon. The old man was hap py, jolly good fellow, but found that his attempt to drink up all the whisky In saloon was too much for him. A1ter ne was fairly swimming in booze he fell to fine floor and was considerably bunged up by the fall. He landed squarely on his face. and his mouth nose and face as whole was badly scratched and bruised. He bled considerably before he could get medical attention.
 Shaw & Sons ambulance answered the call and the old fellow was removed to the Hillman hospital. He was so thor oughly inebriated. however that he did not know his name and cared not whether it was Thursday or Sunday.

By gosh!' ejaculated the worn and tired reporter as he stopped for mo- ments rest. He stood knee deep in mire with every rag on his person dripping wet, his red silk tie hanging mud spat- tered down his back, his hands grasping bunch of twigs, one eye closed with a spatter of red clay, and his whole expression rather that of a mud scare crow than of a fresh reporter in search of Governor Conner
 "Doggone this Barbour county mudr' he cried as the rain washed enough of it out of his mouth to allow him to speak. Here l am out here stuck up in this old farm of the guys and the nearest telegraph office is ten miles off. Besides, I was assigned to get an inter view with Conner for tomorrow's paper and l haven't seen hair nor hide of him.
 What in the d. did he want to come way down here for, when he knew Judge Jones was on the warpath again?' At that moment the reporters attention was attracted by a rustling in the leaves at his back, and he turned to see long bore rifle aimed at his heart-that warm, tender, mereiful reporters heart-while behind it was the cold steel blue eye of we'll it set that reporters spinal cord to quivering and he managed to gasp out, Don't shoot!'

"Closed On Ereount CT Thanksgvin. in large black letters was written across the entrance to the police court last night. Uncle Alex was no where to be found.
 The street car stopped over at Iroquols street, and the conductor pointed down an alley to the place where the old man who has his picture in the paper lived. The rain was beating down and 1t was hard to avoid the mud holes by the dim electric light.
 A light fell across the alleyway an. within there nickered the uncertain glow of a wood fire while shadowed on each side appeared two forms. The one, which made the watcher start with recognition, leaned his black face forward, held his pipe in bony hand and joined his smoke with that which hoated slowly up the chimney The gray old hair and kinky white beard added an honesty to the face which stamped 1t Thoroughbred Southern Darky."
 Across from him, with sunken cheeks and prominent jaws, rocked the ole 'oman," nervously twitching at her teeth with her snuff brush.' The door opened noiselessly and the sound of voices hummed to the accompaniment of the pattering rain.
