THE FAMILY ARE AWAKENED AND ESCAPE JUST IN TIME TO SAVE THEIR vES-EvERYTHING IS ENTIRELY DESTROYED.

Union Springs, October 22.-(Special.)- The residence of Mayor l.. M. Moseley together with it's contents was destroyed by fire and the family had a narrow es- cape from a horrible death early yester- day morning.
 The fire occurred about 1:9O o'clock and was first discovered by Mrs. Moseley, who was awakened by the bright light and the cracking of the timbers overhead. She hurriedly awakened her husband and her mother and taking the two children from their beds rushed out just in time to es- cape the falling in of the roof. They had not time to dress or save their clothing.
 The fire had made such headway before the alarm was turned in that the fire department found it impossible to eX- tinguish the blaze before the building had collapsed and was entirely consumed,

Novel Cotton Picker.

Huntsville, October 22.-(Special)-A new cotton picker, the invention of Col James F. O'shaughnessy of New York, was given thorough trial yesterday afternoon on the farm of Luke Matthews, south of this city, and it was found to be all that was claimed for 1t. The machine does not do the actual picking but it acts as an assistant to the human laborer in such manner that he Is enabled to do twice as much work and often pick three times as much cotton as he would under ordinary conditions. The machine sets the pace for from two to twelve pickers and while they are working with it there is no tagging behind nor time wasted. The demonstration was witnessed by several experts and all of them were well pleased with the result of the test. A company will be formed to put the cotton picker on the market.

ROBSON CITY IS
 AGAIN INDEPENDENT
Law Annexing It To Oxford Is
 Declared Void
JONES IS CONVICTED
Negro Who Kills His Own Child With Hatchet Goes to the Penitentiary for IA Years-Fight for
 SynodicaI College.

Anniston, October Especially gro town in the United States, is given back its autonomy as a result of de- cision of Judge Thomas W. Coleman of the Anniston city court declaring that the law enacted at the last ses- sion of the Alabama legislature an
 nexing Hobson City to Oxford Is null and void and by his further refusal to dissolve the injunction restraining the city of Oxford from interfering with the officers or the government of the negro municipality.
 Hobson City came into existence shortly after Richmond P. Hobson sank the Merrimac, the place being named in honor of the present Alabama con
 gressman. It elected it's own mayor and city council, and tae little place grew rapidly having population ranging between 300 and 800 last year, when it's identity was destroyed by the extension of the city limits of the city of Oxford, which place assumed the control of the negro town under the authority of an act of the legislature.
 Shortly after the town was annexed to Oxford, however, the negroes em ployed willett & Willett of Anniston to represent them and began their fight to regain their autonomy. Strangely enough the matter was brought into the courts by an effort of the Oxford authorities to enforce the operation of a hog law in Hobson City. An injunction was sued out against the Oxford authorities, the negro town resumed it's self-govern- ment and later flaw was found in the title of the legislative act, result ing in Judge Coleman's decision.
 Jones Is Convicted.
 John Jones. a negro, was convicted in the city court yesterday of the mur- der of his 2-year- r-old child and sem fenced to fl years in the state peni- tentiary
 Jones. it was alleged, some time dur ing last July became engaged in
 quarrel with his wife. During the quarrel he threw a hammer at her. The weapon went wide of its mark and struck his 2-year-old child, killing it. He claimed that he was on the out side of the house and threw a stick at a chicken which was perching on the water bucket on a shelf on the side of the building. The stick struck
 the house and the force of the blow
 jared the hammer from it's resting
 place on one of the joists and it fell upon hte child producing death. Fight for College.
 Annistons fight to secure the loca- | tion of the Synodical College for l Young Women will be renewed on next | Monday evening, when Rev. J. Sterling
 Foster and Dr. J. w. Stagg of Bir-
 mingham will address the people on l the subject in the circuit court room of the court house.

gestionS that may occur to him and which might add to the convenience of the structure. It is taken from this that the contract for the con- struction of the building will be let soon.
