working by himself.
The conversation of these two char
acters is too long to reprint here, but
not too much so to peruse with the
greatest interest. We must pass over
the story of the wedding, which was
the day before Christmas event at
Dingley Dell, at which Mr.. Pickwick
distinguished himself by a feliciteus
speech, and get to the story of the
dance. Dickens description of the old
sitting room Is a gem:
The best sitting room at Manor Farm
was a good long, dark paneled room,
with high chimney piece and capacious
ahimney up which you could have driven
one Of the new patent cabs, wheels and
all. At the upper end of the room, seated
In a shady bower of holly and ever
greens, were the two best fddlers and the
only harp in Muggleton. In all sorts of
secesses and on all kinds Of brackets
stood massive old silver candlesticks with
&our branches each. The carpet was up.
the candles burned bright, the fire blazed
and cracked on the hearth and merry
voices and light hearted laughter rang
through the room. If any of the old
English yeomen had turned into fairies
when they died, it was just the place in
which they would have held their revels.
After the dance was over, Mr.. Pick

mission well in adding to the jollity
OF the occasion. The artist whose pic
lures appear on his pages has done ex-
cellent justice to Dickens text:
From the center of the ceiling Of this
kitchen old Wardle had just suspended
with his own hands a huge branch of
naistletoe. and this same branch of mis-
tletoe instantaneously gave rise to
scene of general and most delightful
struggling and confusion, in the midst of
which Mr.. Pickwick, with a gallantry
which would have done honor to de-
scendant of Lady Tollinglower herself,
took the old lady by the hand, led her be-
meath the mystic branch and saluted her
in all courtesy and decorum. = Wardle
stood with his back to the fire, surveying
the whole scene with the utmost satisfac-

then on the spectacles, and to hear the
peals of laughter which were raised on
avery side.
Finally we come to Christmas day,

Warren E. Hill of Continental Iro1
Works Dead.

NEW YORK. December 9-Warren
Eden Hill. president of the Continental
Iron Works in Brooklyn, died yesterday
in his apartments in the Hotel Florence
18th street and 4th avenue, of heart dis
ease, for which he had been under treat
ment for some time.
Mr. Hill was born in New York seventy
four years ago. and studied law in the
office of A. Oakley Hall, once mayor of
New York He soon abandoned this pur-
suit, however, to take up designing and
engineering, and in 1852 became associat-
ed with the Allaire Iron Works in New
ark, where he remained about six years
From 1858 to 1862 he was superintendent
of the installation of the Detroit water
works. Then he returned to the east and
attached himself to the Continental Iron
Works in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Hills chief distinction, perhaps, was
that he designed the machinery and en-
gines of the Monitor, the first of the iron
cads. which sank the Merrimac In
Hampton roads in one of the most his
toric combats of the war of the rebellion.
He was made vice president of the Con-
tinental company in 1883, and last year
he became president and held that Office
at the time of his death. He was a mem

Lees Engagement Closes Today

The engagement of Prof. Sylvian Lee, the celebrated hypnotist who has been delighting packed houses at the Jeffer- son theatre all this week, draws to a close with the matinee and night per formarees today. It has been an emil nently successful engagement and Profess sor Lee has not only made many friends but he has put on a class of entertain ment that appeals to the most fastidi- ous. There Is absolutely nothing re- sembing horse play in anything he does, no rolling upon the stage, no playing of tricks that would embarrass the volun- teer subjects no attempt to mystery. Professor Lee tells his hearers in the beginning that he is a student of sugges- ton and that 1t is through that medium that he produces the cataleptic sleep and makes the subjects go through all sorts of antics that cause laughter and amusement. At the matinee performance today Professor Lee will exhibit rare specimens of Indian art which he pro cured while in that country. No money could buy the relics presented to him and it was due to his remarkable cures that the nobility of Tribet presented him with the curios.

NEGRO SUSPECT IS CAUGHT AT DECATUR

A negro badly wounded and filling the description of James T. Randolph, the supposed negro murderer of Mo torman R. H. Watkins. was taken off the fourth section of Louisville and Nashville freight train No. IS last night after midnight and turned over to the police auth critics at Decatur The negro was discovered on the train at Wilhite. at which place Conductor Cardin, noticing the resemblance of the negro to the description of the murderer stopped and telegraphed the dispatchers office in Birmingham for a description of the murderer.
 The dspatchers office got busy and gave it to him at F'lynt. Tde description confirmed the train crews suspicious and the police authorities at Decatur were telegraphed to meet the train. The ne gro was arrested and in talking said he had spent the night before at Newman ket, Ala, having spent the night with a preacher He also added, without any one having stated what he was arrested for, You people think I'm the negro wanted in Birmingham for killing street car man, but I'm not the one"
 The negro had two pistol wounds in his back ana was looking badly, and said he had been wounded in the mines.

EXPRESS COMPANY LOSES BIG
 SUM OF MONEY OFF A TRAIN

Laredo, Tex, May 1.-The Wells Fargo Express company has reported to the authorities of Torreon, Mex, loss of s6SO00 in Mexican currency which they claim was taken from through safe on their City of Mexico train. The money was consigned to one of the banks of Chihuahua. So far two arrests have been made in Tor reon, alth ough it is not believed by the officials here that the men who were arrested in Torreon have the money
 It appears that one of the agents of the company boarded the express train at a station between tine City of MeXi- co and Torreon, afterward leaving the train. It is said that he was the only man who was in the car who knew the combination of the safe. He is being searched for but has not yet been ap- prehended.

ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM BESSEMER JAIL Negro Woman Walks Out
 Without Interference J. M. COUSINS IS DEAD Special Locker Installed By Chief Wal lace For Reception of Wet Goods
 Taken From Prisoners In
 Bessemer.
J: M. COUSINS IS DEAD

Bessemer. May 1.-(Special )-The name of the Bessemer jail will have to be changed from the joke house" to "the house of memories" Emma Reynolds, a negro woman walked out of the jail this morning and she has never been heard from since Emma had trial in Justice Gunn's court yesterday and he fined her $26 and costs. for being a plain everyday thief. It appeared from the evidence that Emma had stolen everything from a sheet 10 a bedspread.
 Several of her one-time friends appeared before Judge Gum yesterday afternoon and stated that they had been robbed and that Emma was the woman who did the robbing act.
 Judge Gum figured on the case for several hours and he finally decided that under the new code" and the surround ing circumstances the woman was guilty. Of course the justices in the city of Bes- semer have no place in which they can keep prisoners and for that reason he decided to have her placed in the city jail for safe keeping until this morning when it was supposed her husband would appear on the scene and pay her fine. s
 
 only keeps the prisoners received from the justice courts as matter of courtesy and naturally they did not care whether the prisoner was well lodged or not Emma was placed in the cook room to spend the evening and she did very well until an early hour this morning. The kitchen is never locked and when War den Mingea went in to let-the prisoners out of the cells this morning Emma caught him mapping and walked out AS far as any of the city officials know. she is walking yet and it is hardly likely that she will ever be caught. In the meantime Judge Gum gets no fee and the state is out $26.
 Judge Gum remarked this afternoon under the new regime he expected to be able to hold his prisoners long enough to collect the fines assessed but it ap- pears that he was wrong.
 The husband of the woman arrived on the scene at an early hour this morning prepared to pay her fine but he came just a little too late, as the cage was empty and the bird had joined the gang. This only makes 22 prisoners that have left the jail without taking the trouble to notify the warden within the past three months and it appears that getting away is an easy matter.

APPEAL IS MADE
 TO METHODISTS
Work of Caring For Orphans of Two Conferences Is Being
 Overlooked.

The following appeal has been issued to the Methodists of Alabama:
 Dear Brethren-Unintentiona our church in this state is overlooking. and to some extent neglecting, the greatest work it has ever undertaken in the name Of Methodism-the care of the orphans op the two conferences.
 The panic of last fall. the general ill., health of the people, the almost unnreca- dented weather of the winter "ratnv s,,n oays' and the general money stringency. have caused us to forget our charitable obligations. In no other work has tb,s been so marked as with the orphanaee at Summerfield. From human standnoint ;t was natural, from the spiritual if wac an, error, and if continued will be religions misdemeanor.
 We have 76 children in the home. to care Tor them we have to provide for sa ihciudlng three colored servants, at cost or per capita $5.Ds per month or s4so tota,
  for each month we keep open Win u.o auVahce In provisions and the cost oe labor, this expenditure of S. .oS her month appeals to anyone as economical and a hiihlmum expense that but few families obtain with all their efforts to live cheap. The repairs made through act,,al necessity have secured us a building at Summerfeld that is safe and comfo.,- able, but from the causes above enpn,- crated, We owe money that ought to be paid and paid promptly.
 The state board of directors last oc tober authorized the cooperation of the Rev J. w. Mathison with our agent inc Rev T. H. Jones, for the collection of this special fund. These two brethren have experienced much trouble, and done what they could. Under the improved condi- tions of the money markets, '.the health or the people and better weather, they will now have less obstruction in their good work.
 Brother Jones never fails to close his years labor with an amount sufficient to defray running expenses No one man in the state has worked harder or done more for the cause than he.
 Brother Mathison is a man of gentle Christian spirit, loves the work, is a successful solicitor, and has undertaken this special work of love at a small per- centage. positively without risk or ex- pense to tine orphanage, often at a loss to himself, and as he is now free from all other duties, he will doubtless prove of great service to Brother Jones and the cause.
 Brothers Jones and Mathison, having mapped out their territory, we beg for them and for the Alabama Methodist orphanage, a prompt and liberal response to their appeals
 In love and confidence, remain, fra formally, H. H. STEWART,
 Secretary and Treasurer.

LEGISLATORS QUARREL.
Speaker and Member of House Nearly
 Come To Blows.

Guthrie, Okla. May 1.-In the House here today, Speaker William Murray and Representative Vandeventer of Bartles- vile came close to having a fist fight that was prevented by the intervention of Representative Ellis and Chief Clerk Pittman. This was Senate day in the House but the time was given up to House measures Vandeventer protested and became so insistent that the speaker ordered him to sit down. Vandeventer refused to obey and defied the sergeant at-arms. Speaker Murray finally said he was tired of seeing the member from Bartlesville make a fool of himself and when Vandeventer advanced toward the speaker the latter dropped his gavel and squared himself. Ellis and Pittman n- terfered and quieted the men before blows were struck
