Judge wisehead. Sher- iff Gisfillin and Miss Amelia Bedelia Arrowroot, companion of the plain lin, take a prominent part in the proceedings.

RETALIATORY MEASURES

Selma, April 15.-(Special.) )-2Selma Is on the verge of a serious break with the Southern railway over the schedule pro posed to be inaugurated April Is. Ihe whole trouble lies on the Mobile branch The railroad proposes to reverse the scbadules of the trains from Mobile into Selma The train arriving here now at 12:3o will not arrive under the new schedule until 2:3o in the afternoon WnlVe tho train for Mobile now leaving at 4;2o n m. will leave in the morning at n:40. This will necessitate the remaining Tn Selma all night of persons coming from Thomasyille and intermediate stations to Selma to trade.
 So acute has become the matter that setma is talking of retaliatory meas urss if the scaedule Is not put back as it was or an accommodation train is not put on between this city and Thomas vile which will give Selma an equal chance with Mobile for trade. The re- taliation Is likely to take the shape of requiring the railroads entering Selma to put up safety gates at all street crossings and requiring the Southern rail- way to open up Sherrer street, across which the platforms of the company run at this time, completely cutting off the street. Just what the outcome of the fight will be cannot be told but it furnishes much of interest to everybody concerned at this time. 2

BELONGED TO A PLUMBER

Gadsden, April 15.-(special.)-S Bow iih' youth Of 19 years, wanted at Selma TOT the inert of diamonds valued at $14OO, was today arrested in this city with a part of the stolen property on his per- son. One ring worth approximately s7Oo was carried, in his pocket. The diamonds are the property of plumber at Selma and were stolen two weeks ago. The young man has been following the Gentry Bros show, and was rounded up hera after the show had gone to Talladega. At first he denied that the diamonds were the property of another, but when he iouno that the officers had full descrip- tlon or him and the diamonds he prac ticaiiy admitted the theft He is being held for Identification by the Selma parties.
 The Gadsden Car Works were closed down today to make some needed re- pairs on the boilers. superintendent Portner stated that only a few days would be necessary and that he hoped to have the plant back in operation by the first of the week.
 1he paseoau season will open here on Saturday, when a game will be played at the grounds at Alabama City between the Dwight team and nine from Collins vile.
 The machinery for the shovel plant which is being removed here from Pell City has been shipped from that point and will arrive here in a day or two. The work of fdnstallation will begin as soon as it arrives and within few weeks at most the new plant will be in operation. This is the second new industry to be located here during the year of the panic. and like its predecessor, the Campbell Manu- featuring company, promises to become a paying proposition. There is a good pros pect of trade ahead, and those interested predict big things for the enterprise

RIVER SHIPPING
 TO BE IMPROVED

Eufauls, April 15.-(Special. .)-An era of renewed activity in freight traffic along the line of the Chattahoochee river is evi- dently being contemplated It has been iearneu here that one or two new boats or me dimensions. the City of Eufaula peing the name of one. will be launched at no very distant day, and strenuous eftort will be exerted to induce more freight shipments by that route
 L. N. Smith, for several years an jm portant attache of the Eufaula Grocery company here, will soon leave the city ana information has been given out thai ne Will be put in charge of the freight onlce With headquarters at Columbus
 Conservative business men are realiz- ing that the. river does not enjoy the freight traffic that it deserves, and if Is believed that thousands of bales of cotton rom this section could find much cheaper route to the deep seas by the river than over any of the railroad lines
 The requisite in the matter of boat ia - cilities for handling it from Columbus and thls city. together with other points along the line, will bep rovided for first, and then 1t is expected that other plans will mature. Considering the matter of lighter ing the staple across the bay at Apalachi- cola it can be figured out that the cost of shipment would then be much cheaper to the sea than by rail, and the question is one that is arousing the thoughtful con slderation of prominent business men. I'm portant developments along this line are being awaited with much interest

blaze which broke out in the Hous ton mercantile store on the second floor of the building about 10 o'clock Wednesday evening was confined to damage not exceeding $5000 MT. Houston stated that he thinks the loss will be only about 5000. The origin of the fire is not known, as there had been no fire in the building during the day. The small loss is probably ac- counted for by the fact that a com paratively small stock was carried on the second floor, the greatest damage being done by water which seeped through to the first floor, flooding the large stock carried there.

WANT OLD STATE
HOUSE RESTORED

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Jan. IA delegation
of women connected with the Colonial
Danes and the Daughters of the
American Revolution yesterday visited
Dover and conferred with some men,
bers of the Legislature about the new
State House project. Among the vis-
itors were Mrs. Charles r. Miller. Mrs.
Willard salisbury. and Miss Sophie
NAPLES of Wilmington, and Mrs. NJ. B.
Donnell. of Newark.
1t is the desire to the women's patri-
otic societies that the state House be
restored to its colonial appearance.
with black and red brick front, OLD
columns and its cupola with a railing
around it. The suggestion has been
made that the third story built in 1875
be removed. and that the building be
used only by the Legislature. The sug-
gestion embodies the use of the first
floor as committee rooms and rooms
for the officers of the Legislature, and
also as q museum for valuable and
ancient State papers and records.
II also is suggested that a new
building be erected as an administra-
ton building and a State library on
the site adjoining the present state
House. 1t is the old DR.. Jump prop
erty and was bought by the state foT
use as a governors residence. But
one governor ever has occupied Il.
however. and It is now used for private
purposes and as an Office for Insurance
Commissioner Maull.
