Brakeman Shot.

Will Jones, a brakeman on Alabama Great Southern freight train No 52, was shot drought the ear last night by a hobo, about o'clock, when the train stopped at the Louisville and Nashville crossing al Woodstock.
 The particulars of the shooting are meagre, but from the report turned in to the agent by Conductor Broyles. who was in charge of the train. it seems that as the train from Meridian bound for Birmingham, stopped at Woodstock junction two hobos at tempted to board it, and when detected by the abrakemen and prevented from getting on, one of them fired on him. the bullet passing through his ear. It was a narrow escape, but the brake man continued on his run, which ends at Birmin gham. The bobos escaped into the woods.

BRAKEMAN SHOT IN EAR
By J. F. LEE.

Bessemer, September 13.-(Special) - A highwayman got in his work on Paul Rumore last night at 10:30 o'clock within one block of the principal bus mess portion of the city Rumore works for his broth CT Tony Rumore, who runs a store on Carolina avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty first street and about the hour mentioned Paul drove the delivery wagon around through a vacant lot next to tho store, and as he got out of the wagon to open the gate to the stable yard, a man stepped up and showed two guns in his face, telling him to Hands up." His hands went up, when the highwayman very deliberately put one gun back in his pocket and, keeping Rumore covered with the other, proceeded to go through his pockets.
 After relieving him of $14 the robber, who seemed to be an expert at the business, backed off to Carolina alley and disappeared toward Twenty first street. Rumore reported the matter to the police department, but his descrip tion of the man was very vague in deed, and it will be most excellent work if they can work up a clue that will lead to an arrest.

Bitten By Pet Dou.

NJ Barr, prominent merchant of this city, and his little child were bit ten yesterday by a pet French poodle and will leave tomorrow morning for Atlanta, where they will take the Pas teur treatment
 When they were bitten, physician was consulted and knowing that this kind of dog sometimes has little vicious spells. he told them to lock him up over night, and by morning they could tell whether or not he was in state of hydrophobia. This it is understood was done, but when the door to the out house In which he had been con fined was opened. the dog ran out and disappeared and has not been seen since
 The fact that he has never been known to act in such a manner before leads to the belief that he was mad, and it was thought best that the Pas teur treatment be taken. MT. Seigel will accompany them to Atlanta.

ALL POLICE MUST
 GIVE WHEREABOUTS
ACCORDING TO BoDEKER's NEW SYSTEM EVERY OFFICER MUST REPORT TO HEADQUARTERS BY TELEPHONE ONCE AN HOUR.

Chief Bodeker has now arranged his own system whereby he can get hold or anv man connected with the police de- nartment at almost any hour during the dav. With the exception or patroimen working regular beats every man con nected with the department IS required to report hourly by telephone Tn what mart of the city he is working.
 Chief Bodeker statec his belief that one of tbe most important matters in police work is to keep in touch with the men, so that when the law is violated the man closest to the vicinity Of the violation can be at once dispatched to the scene. An example of the perfection of the sys- tenn was given a few days ago when negro shot his wife on the Southside. When the shots were heard by neighbors the police were notified at headquarters. Tn less than five minutes two of the scouts called by telephone to report. They were within few blocks of where the shooting had occurred and within very few minutes they were on the scene, whereas, if it had been necessary to send man from headquarters it would have required fully 30 or 40 minutes.
 A card system has been inaugurated, three cards being kept daily One is for the captains and lieutenants, another for the detectives and third is for the scouts All of these men are required to report every hour while on duty to receive instructions left with the desk sergeant by the chief. A record of each report is made on the cards, which are turned over to the chief.

Weeds Still Uncut.

Mrs. l. Fred Robertson in calling a meeting for Tuesday afternoon at her residence of all the ladies living on Fifth avenue, with the view of talk ing steps to beautify that thorough fare. it is claimed is makine move in inc rigkt direction, but the fact that the matter of cleaning up the town is being largely left to the ladies should wound the civic pride of every male citizen. and prompt those who claim to have any such pride to start just such a movement among the prop ar+v owners and other citizens.
 pr. G. R. Lewis, pointing to lot owned by him on Third avenue, in the business section, stated that he had cut the weeds down just after the mayor is- sued his proclamation against allowing them to grow, but that as little atten- ton had been paid to the proclamation bv other property owners throughout the city he had neglected keeping his lot in good condition, but would cut the weeds again, as he thought it the duty of every citizen to do so
 On the railroad rights-of-way in the heart of the city weeds are growing from two to five feet tall. and the first thing that the eyes of a passenger fall on as he gets off the Alabama Great Southern train in Bessemer are these unsightly weeds and he sees weeds nearly every where he turns as he walks through the town It Is believed if the railroad off cials' attention were called to the matter the section foremen would be instructed to clean up.
 Some of the citizens advance the ar gument that the city should not expect the property owners to clean up, when grass is allowed to grow in the streets and weeds along the sidewalks, but the city claims that the street force is cov- ering as much ground as possible.

 Widely Discussed.
STRONG IN MON IGOMERY

Montgomery, September 13.-(Special)- Late returns from yesterdays primary in the Second district indicate the cer- tainty of the nomination of s. H. Dent for Congress His majority will likely grow with the returns yet to be reported. His plurality may reach S00 Some of his friends believe the figures will be even larger
 Mir Dents success Is mainly due to his great strength in Montgomery county, and MT. Samford's light vote in Pike.
 MT. Dents majority in Montgomery county is not less than 1900.
 MT. Sanford carried Covington, But Ter and Escambia counties.
 c. R. Bricken received a majority only in his home county, Crenshaw.
 Thomas J. Hall received only 197 votes in Montgomery county, while c. R. Brick ems total vote in this county was only 73
 The part taken in the campaign by the Anti-Saloon league and the signifi- cant result is the main topic of conver- sation in Montgomery today.
 The majority opinion of the public is that the circular letter sent out and signed by Superintendent Brooks Law renee of the league and MT. Dents firm stand in the matter secured his nomina- tion and the defeat of MT. Sanford. the only candidate who subscribed to the de- mands of the prohibitionists and who received the organized support of this ele- ment.
 The centering of the prohibition support on Sanford drove the opposition to Dent and they became the real figures in the contest,

Uniquely interesting are a number of the experiments now being conducted by the office of public roads of the United States department of agriculture; one being the effort to build a dust proof road by com bining the heretofore little used blast fur mace slag with asphalt or tar.
 This endeavor is of the utmost economic importance, because if the hoped-for suc- cess is attained, unsightly mountains of slag will soon disappear from the vicinity of scores of cities, and a ready market will have been established for vast quan- titles of this material.
 For several years the scientists in the office of public roads, as well as in many of the more progressive states, have been working to achieve two great objects viz: the utilization of by-products in road building, and the development of dust less roads. Experiments already con- ducted indicate that crushed rock com bined with tar or asphalt preparations bid road problem. Exhaustive laboratory tests have indicated that slag in com bination with preparations of tar or as- phalt may be made to serve as substi- tute for crushed rock Sections of ex- perimental road are now being construct ed which will subject the materials to actual service test. If the results are as satisfactory as the preliminary conditions indicate, the slag-asphalt or slag- tar roads will realize the hope of the scientists for both the utilization of by-products and the attainment of a dustless road. One of these experimental stretches of road is now in course of construction at Chi cago, under the supervision of Chief En- gineer Vernon M Pierce of the federal bureau, and one at Birmingham, under the direction of B. F. Heidel, first assist ant engineer.
 The road at Chicago will be of slag and asphalt; that at Birmingham of slag and tar. The greatest skill and care will be used in putting down these short stretches and they will then be carefully observed during the trying months of winter. If in the spring it has been established that this class of road remains firm, does not rut, sheds water and makes but little dust, vast step forward will have been taken in roadbuilding, and never-fail- ing market will have been created for blast furnace waste.
 Besides this activity in slag experiments the public roads office is also busy at Newton, Mass, with a special asphalt preparat ton, never before tried, which the director and his lieutenants hope may prove efficacious as a dust-binding sur face material.
 More unique than this, however, the of- flee is preparing at the same place to lay a stretch of what facetious writers are almost certain to label a candy road" In all flights of fancy it is probable that nobody except scientist would go so far afield in research as to adopt molasses as a road-building material but that is exactly what has been done here, and As sistant Chemist Provost Hubbard of Di- rector Pages scientific corps is leveling a half mile stretch of road near Newton, and in few days will be in active super vision of the laying of the first molasses road of history This molasses is the al- most useless by-product of the great cane sugar refineries of the south, and the beet
