 Veins.

Andalusia. March 23-(SpeciaD-A sensational case was tried In the city court yesterday afternoon. l. Amer Williams was charged with the abandonment of his wife and infant child. The prosecutrix testified that she and the defendant were married in August of last year, that the child was born about three weeks later. and that the defendant left her in Novem- ber without providing means for her subsistence and without cause for leav- ing her.
 The defendant introduced number of witnesses. among the number being a minister of the gospel. who swore that he had made @ close examina- ton of the child and that in their best Judgment 1t was e mulatto. The mother was then ordered to remove the covering from the child's head and 1t was exhibited to the court. From its color and general appearance 1t looked very much like child of mixed descent.
 The state then sent for a number of the leading physicians of the town. They examined the child and one of them went upon the stand and testi- fled to the effect that the child had African blood In its veins.

claimed the fifty seven miles of raii- way, and from time to time, have pro- tested against any disposition of the with the bondholders. This attitude was strongly supported by the British government and when the lease was made last year. the British minister renewed the protest in emphatic terms demanding categorical reply. Ills attention was called to 8 clause In the Valentine lease, reserving the right Of the Honduras government to termi- nate the lease upon giving 90 days mo- tice, in case the government should effect settlement with the bond holders or arrange for the completion of the railway to the Pacific.
 As details are not published, 1t is not known what arrangements. if any. have been made for finishing the railroad but the bondholders propos- als provided for the reconstruction of the 57 miles, or first section, and it is understood that they will take over thet railway.
 When new rails are laid, the expen- ses of maintenance and operating will be reduced greatly. and the net earnings of the first section. on ex- isting traffic. should reach 10000 pounds annually and be largely in- creased by short branches to fruit lands.

OvERWORKED
Boston Trained Nurse Seeing the Good vinol Did Her Patients, Tried It Herself With Splendid Results.

"I was completely prostrated from overwork. had no appetite. could not sleep, my kidneys. liver and bow els became inactive, and as grew weaker I could not retain either medi- cine or food on my stomach and rais- ed blood The doctors said my condi- ton was critical
 As I had seen Vinol prescribed for my patients with such remarkable re- suits, l decided to try 1t. After the first bottle I began to improve. I continued its use, and soon began to sleep and eat well; every organ in my body was strengthened and be- came normal, until it seemed good to be alive, and was restored to perfect health and strength.
 'I advise all my patients who need strength. rich. red blood. and flesh tissue to take vinol. as 1t Is so far superior to old-fa ash ioned cod liver oil emulslons, or other tonics.''-ElIsabeth M. Cremond, Boston, Mass. For nine years a nurse in hospital and private cases.
 The reason that Vinol has such pow CT to heal and strengthen Is because it contains, with tonic Iron all of the curative, medicinal and strength -creat. ing clements of cod liver oil.

v st f--l- Y. HIDING PLACE CAUSES DEATH Earl C. Lutz Kills a
 Negro. FOUND HIM UNDER BED Tom Pagan Had Been in Chase
 With Police. Sought Safety Under Tie Bed of Catoma Street House And
 When Discovered, Ran
 And Was Shot.

As he attempted to escape. after hay. ing been discovered under bed in the Lutz residence at ais Catoms Street. Tom Pagan was shot and morfally wounded by Earl c. Luz. commercial agent of the Western Railway. at about 7:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. Pagan died within an hour. after hav- ing been conveyed to the police head quarters.
 The negro wes discovered under the bed of Clifford Lutz. as Lutz arose early Tuesday morning. In his efforts to escape the police. who had chased him through several downtown blocks, several hours previous. Pagan had taken refuge in the residence, slipping under. the bed, and remaining there throughout the night.
 Pagan is supposed to be the negro who was wanted by the authorities of Mobile. on an old murder charge, and also in Selma, on the charge of bur glary and highway robbery. Knowing that the negro was in Montgomery. the local police were jealous in the search for him. He was discovered slightly after midnight. on Tuesday morning in Wilson's restaurant, on Bibb Street
 Immediately the officers gave chase. the negro slipping behind the stores and coming out on Commerce street.
 The call of the officers brought re- inforcements. and more than dozen policemen were hot behind the negro, as he dashed back into Bibb Street. made through the yard of residences on Bibb and Moulton Streets.
 As he plunged into the cordon of houses, the officers surrounded the block, 50 that exit was impossible. without capture. Seeing himself hem- med in. the negro made into the Lutz residence. gaining entrance through the rear. and crawling under the bed of Clifford Lutz.
 The officers, fairly certain that he had gained the house. awoke the resi- dents. and 8 search was made In the meantime. the dogs of Sheriff Hood were called into service, and made their way, along the trail of the negro. to the yard.
 A search of the premises revealed no sign of the negro, and as a nearby householder called out that the fugi- five had fled across his premises. the officers gave up the Lutz house as the refuge of Pagan. Here the definite trail ended. and there were no more ceived the information early Tuesday morning. of his having been shot.
 Negro Under Bed.
 After 2 o'clock, Clifford Lutz arose. and discovered the negro lying under his bed. peering out- at him. Pagan had evidently lain there more than six hours,- seeking a way to escape.
 Standing in his door. Mir. IIutz sum- moned his brother. Earl Lutz, by the servant. As Earl Lutz made back for hls revolver. the negro dashed out through the window.
 MT. Lutz. with the gun, ran to the front porch, to head the negro off meeting Pagan fin the yard. The negro turned, and ran for the back

he found. but its memories are sinister and terrible to the engineer who built the Uganda Railway. No less than 600 lives were lost in the building of the Uganda road by man-eating lions. and thirty natives were killed by two man eaters at Tsavo. This fearful pair of man eaters held up the building Of the railway for nearly six weeks.
 Reach Cooler Climate.
 A run of some fifty miles further, through fairly open country. will find the hunting party at Makindu, a lit- tie over 200 miles from Mombasa, and over 5000 feet above the level or the sea. The expedition will now be out of the tropical level, and the air Is cooler and fresher.
 Nairobi, the capital of the British East Africa Protectorate, 326 miles in land from Mombasa, will be reached in May. and here the expeditions head quarters will be established for the greater portion of the hunt. From Nairobi short trips of from a week to three weeks will be made in various directions in pursuit of suitable speci- mems for the collection. It Is from this point that most of the hunting trips will be made.
 October will find the party moving inland to Port Florence. on Lake Vlc- toria Nyanza the end of the railway, where a short stop wIli be made. The railway from Nairobi takes a sharp as cent to the pinnacles of the Kihuyu sscarpment, where 1t Is possible to look down some 1000 feet Into the Great Rift Valley

 Swinging downward. the railroad enters a country changing from hills and forest to grass land. Sheep farms and other evidences of civilization meet the eye of the traveller in the run to Nakuro. 446 miles from Mombasa. which Is in the midst of a pastoral country.
 After journey of another hundred miles MT Roosevelt's party will arrive at Port Florence. A trip to Mount Elgon is planned. which is seventy i've miles north of tho railway tsrmin- us. Two modern steel steamers. of 50o tons burden. navigate Victoria Nyan- ga. and on one of these steamers the expedition will leave some time early in December for Entebbe. 150 miles from Port Florence Entebbe is the point of departure for travellers to Lake Albert, down the Congo to the West Coast, or down the Nile to Khsr- toum. and here the party will join a small caravan which will head north toward the Mediterranean,
