INDICTMENT QUASHED.
Error In Spelling Name Makes Paper
 Worthless.

Anniston, April 7.-(Special)-Jus the wrong use of one letter in the name of Cliff Chatham in the indictment against Jim Turner served to annul the indictment and postpone Turner's trial for six months, in case the grand jury at it's next session returns another indictment.
 Turner is charged with assault with in- tent to murder Cliff Chatham. When the case was called Turner's attorney made a motion to quash the indictment because the indictment alleged that the name of his victim was Chapman, instead of Chat man. It was shown that the injured man spelled his name with 't' instead of ''p'' and the motion was sustained by the court.
 Turner was placed under a $500 bond for his appearance at the next session of the grand jury.

 When the heart action is weak, it fails to pump the blood through the lungs with sufficient rapidity. Then the lungs do not absorb the proper amount of oxygen, although they may be taking in a normal amount of air. The result is shortness of breath, smothering spells, diff cult breathing, oppressed feeling inschest. pr. Miles Heart Rem edy strengthens the heart nerves and muscles, and in this way increases the circulation.

 Gadsden-Criminal Court sljas Opens Next Monday.

Gadsden, April 7.-(Special. )-By a de- cision of the supreme court handed down yesterday the case of Collier vs. Johnson, both of this city, seems to have been finally disposed of. This case grew out of the forced sale of a restaurant be- longing to Collier by the sheriff without giving him his exemption rights. The matter has been in the courts for some years and Involves some 5000 which, by virtue of the recent judgment of the court, Johnson will now be compelled to pay.
 A committee from the Business Mems club waited on the county commissioners yesterday in reference to the county s portion of the proposed street paving. The proposed paving will cost the county some $500 but it is not likely that any objections will be met with from that quarter. The strongest complaint against the improvement will come from the Ala bama City, Gadsden and Attalla railway. The portion of the paving that will be assessed to the car line s~l cost about sl0,00O and President Schuler insists that to impose this additional burden on hiA company at this time will work an un- necessary hardship as he does not be- lieve that this is the time for forcing the improvement. As a large majority of the property owners are in favor of the paving, it is not likely that the ob- jections of the railway company will be allowed to stand in the way.

SPANISH REBELS
DECLARE REPUBLIC
Don Jaime de Bourbon to Lead the
Revolution.

London, Aug. 2.-Messages re-
received here are to the effect that
Spanish troops had been repulsed in
a collision with revolutionaries at
Barcelona and that the insurgents
have proclaimed a republic. A meet
ing of Carlist leaders has been held
at Figueras and the arrival is eX-
pected of the pretender, Don Jaime
de Bourbon, in order to place him
self at the head of the rebellion.
Color is lent to the report by
other dispatches emanating from
Cerbere on the Franco-Spanish from
tier. These tell of a continuance of
fighting between the troops and rev.
olutionaries in Barcelona, showing
the government has not gained con-
troll of the insurgents, as censored
dispatches stated.
No news is allowed to be pub
lished from Barcelona except that
favorable to the government. The
revolutionary movement is spreading
to the Basque provinces and is eX-
pected to burst into fame momen-
tarily.

This means that hereafter passen-

be obliged to abandon the automo-
