A crisis is expected to develop soon

GADSDEN

Gadsden, October 21.-(Special.)
torney general of Alabama has been
forwarded to Montgomery asking for
state prosecution of the men respon-
sible for the assault last night upon
two non-union street car workers. The
appeal was adopted in the form of a
resolution by a mass meeting of re-
preventative citizens at the Chamber
citizens pledged themselves to aid the
state authorities, financially and other
wise in the prosecution.
During the meeting, criticism of the
police department. was made, but this
was answered by Mayor w. P. John
son, who stated that his orders to the
police were to arrest any one for any
violation of the law, just as if there
were no strike on. He said that it was
difficult to secure rigid enforcement of
the law when the sentiment of the
community has been such that citizens
refuse to ride the street cars.
The meeting, called by President
B. w. Pruet of the Chamber of Com
merce, followed an assault upon NJ. l.,
Murray of Scottsboro and man named
Taylor of Gadsden The men, with six
or eight companions, were on their
way home after meeting of employees
at the car companys office. Noticing
that they were being followed by a
group of men, they decided to turn
from Forest avenue down Eighth and
thence down Chestnut to the business
section. AS they reached Chestnut and
Sixth, barrage of bottles was laid down
behind them and also by men in a pass
ing automobile. Taylor's skull was
fraotured Then the firing hepan and
Murray was hit in the back, the shot
penetrating his lung. 1t is believed
that both, who are in local hospitals,
will die.
1t is claimed that the attack was
made by union sympathizers. Indig

kinu Johns Bath.

As to the washing habits of royalty
in former times, there is one thing, at
least, to be remembered to King
Johns credit. His accounts show that
that constantly travelling king nearly
always had bath at his resting
places during his journeys.
His water man" could generally
reckon upon getting the bath fee Of
fvepence. For to our early king, as
to the modern sojourners in most ho-
tells, a bath was officially accounted
as an extra, to be paid for as such.
The royal water man obtained his
special fee every time his majesty de-
manded a bath-except upon the three
great church festivals. - London

When Did Civil War End7 7

Ask anybody the date of the Civil
wars end. The answer will invariably
be: april, 1885," But. in a literal
sense, that answer is all wrong.
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war came to an end "at the Pc
riod designated In the proclamation Of
the president of the United States"
That proclamation was dated April
2, 1866. Thus the Civil war came to
a formal conclusion on that date, not
In April Of 1866.
"Up to and before that date" april
2, 1860, says Secretary of State Bay
ards decision, "the insurrection In
those (the confederate) states was held
to exist After that date II was held
to be ut an end"

English Writer Tells Of Feline That
Catches Fine Trout Without
Bait or Line.

Cats have passion for FISH and
will hover about a room plaintiyely
mewing long after the plsclne sub
stance has gone and only the smell
is left; but It is not generally known
that they are expert anglers. says a
writer In the Family Journal Uon-
don). A Hampshire sportsman whose
garden bordered on well-stocked
stream stated that his cat takes more
. trout out Of II than he does. All fish
love to bask in the sun and, taking
advantage Of this on fine summer
days, Mr.. Tom lies In ambush, con-
cealed In the reedy grass bordering
some bright pebbly shallow. He needs
neither rod nor line; unlimited pa
tience Is his whole stock In trade. Not
a move does he make, his qulvering
tail merely rustling the slender bents
as II stirred with the gentlest south
ern breeze. Presently there Is a
splash and founder, and fine fat
trout, bursting with condition, comes
tapping up to the shallow for its
morning sun bath. For an instant
only 1t lies there contentedy gasplng
in the soft, warm air, but in that in.
slant the four-footed angler has
made his spring and fastened his
claws firmly in the fish's shimmerlng
back.

"The piston is in the form of a
solid iron rod that enters the cylinder
through a hole pierced In the middle
Of one of the ends" writes Henri
Fabre, "and just large enough to give
free passage to the rod, without let
ting the steam escape. This rod Is
bound to another iron piece, called
crank, and finally the crank is attached
to the neighbOring wheel The
piston, advancing and retreating in
turn in the cylinder, pushes the crank
forward and back, and the crank thus
makes the great wheel turn. On the
other side Of the locomotive, the same
things are taking place by means Of
second cylinder. Then the two great
wheels turn at the same time and the
locomotive moves forward"

four commissioned officers and ap-

ventow, and this will be available
for general instructional in the col

Tentative arrangements, subject
to definite decisions after the ar
rival of the war department represen-

made for the establishment If units
of the signal corps, motor transport

"Trompe."

The old French word "trompe"
meant a pipe or tuba, and the term
trompe was applied to the apparatus
by which the blast is produced in the
Catalan forge. 1t is simple, effec-
tive and ingenious contrivance for
producing a continuous and equable
blast, but its use is restricted to To-
calitles where fall Of water from a
height Of several yards can be OBJ
tanned. The principle is that water
can be made to fall through q pipe
In such a way that It will draw in
through side openings considerable
amount Of air, which by simple and
ingenious arrangement can be utilized
as a constant current or blast, and
which has the merit Of costing almost
nothing. II has been utilized to lin
tied extent elsewhere than in the de-
partment of Ariege, In the South of
France, where 1t was formerly very
generally employed. Iron has been
made in that district for more than
GOO years, but the use of the trompe
blast was not introduced until the end
Of the seventeenth century.
