ADVERTISING NEW ORLEANS.
Reports of Disease Are Spread a, a
 Joke.

New Orleans, August 1S.-When the an- nual excursions out of New Orleans to the north east and west left last Satur- day with 10000 or 15,OOO people, every pub lc-sprted citizen in the crowd was load ed down with literature advertising the city.
 But the city was advertised in a far different way from that which was ex nected when one of the passengers jocu- larly informed a countryman in Tennes- see who had come down to a switch where one of the specials was standing, that the crowds passing by were refugees from New Orleans, where he said, 'the ,eonle were dying like rats from yellow fever"
 Now New Orleans has heard of the ..io,ke'' for messages have begun to pour in to Mayor Behrman, the board of health and other city officers asking if tbe reports are true and offering assist ance of any kind that can be rendered.
 If was not long after the first tele- cram was received that an official de- 9oI was issued. This was to the effect that neither did yellow fever or any thing like 1t exist in New Orleans. and that there were not nor had there been of any time during the summer even any cases of sickness which had aroused suspicion.

 The state had only one witness, the mother of the negro Grafton, who was with her son at the time of the shoot ing Her evidence was confused and to the effect that McCord did not do the killing, but that Adam Stanley, the horse trader who was with McCord, fired the pistol that killed her son. There was no testimony to bear her out in this state ment, though several e-witnesses were mt upOn the stand,

BOND ELECTION CALLED.
Montgomery Will Vote on an Issue of
 $250,o00.

Montgomery, August 1s.-(Special.)- The city council of Montgomery last night ordered an election for September 21 to determine on a bond issue of s250,- GOO for raising funds to construct and improve school buildings, extend water works, build city warehouse and wharf and extend sanitary sewerage.
 The charge having been insinuated that padding was done by one of the school enumerators in their recent census work for Montgomery, an investigation has been ordered. It is said that one of the two enumerators appointed for the city reported over 1000 fewer children of school age than was reported in the same sec tion of the city two years ago. When this was reported the city board of edu- cation ordered it to be taken by another man. F. M. Mcqueen, one of the enumer- ators, felt that the act of the board was a reflection on his work and he asked the council to investigate the census of both enumerators and see if any padding has been done.

Deputies and Citizens Not Able To Locate Man Who Frightened Ladies.

Mrs. Sallie Heath and daughters were badly frightened by negro at their resi- dence at West Highlands station on the North Ensley line last night. Mrs. Heath, who is widow, with her daughters, was seated in a bedroom when the negro sud denly appeared at an open window
 The ladies screamed and the negro was frightened away. Several male neighbors instituted search but could not locate him and the sheriff's office was notified. Acting Chief Deputy Louis R. Dean de- tailed Deputies J. c. Martin and w. H. Chamblee to investigate the matter. A thorough search of the preimses and inn mediate territory failed to locate the negro. It was thought by Mrs. Heath that the man was a negro who lived short distance from the scene, and the officers went in search of him, though he had not been located at an early hour this morning. A number of determined men joined in the search.

DECIDE THOMPSON
 BAIL CASE TODAY Judge Abernathy Wanted to Go
 Over Testimony FOUR SPEECHES MADE Court Room Cleared During Afternoon Because the Audience Broke Into
 Laughter at Remarks Made
 By Attorney Allen.

"I will give my decision in the morning at o'clock. The testimony is contradic- tory and 1 want to go over it. There are witnesses on both sides whom I would not believe under oath" said Judge II. B. Abernathy when the arguments in the R. w. Thompson case were finished at ! o'clock last night
 While the arguments were begun at 10 o'clock yesterday morning it lacked but a few minutes of ' o'clock when Solicitor Heflin finished his speech. The solicitor made a record-breaking address, requiring three hours in delivery.
 Attorney Fleetwood Rice of Tuscaloosa opened the arguments, speaking for about 30 minutes. He deplored the levity which had prevailed during the trial and urged that those irl attendance on the trial come to full realization of the fact that a man was on trial for taking the life of a human being. This was followed by a summing up of the case by MT. Rice
 R. N. Bell followed Mir Rice and made an eloquent appeal for the defendant. Re- cess was taken after he had spoken for about an hour and 8 half and he took the floor again upon the converting of the afternoon session. His associate, B. M Allen. had been compelled to take up a case in another court, and Mir. Bell spoke until he arrived, which was shortly after the dinner recess.
 MT. Allen had spoken for about 15 min- utes, when he made some sarcastic utter- ances in regard to the testimony of cer- tain doctors in reference to the wounds on Thompsons head. Several persons in the audience broke into a laugh. Judge Abernathy immediately ordered the court room cleared and the arguments contin- ued with but a few people present.
 The prosecution plead strongly against allowing the defendant ball. insisting that he was guilty of murder in the first de- gree, while the defense maintained that a clear case of self-defense had been estab- lished and that Thompson should be all lowed bail in small amount if the judge deemed it necessary to hold him.
