“HELP.WHIT^FOLKS, HELP!"
The Plaintive Cry of an Old
Darky.
MR. MADEN FATALLY SHOT
By a Negro Laborer—The Negro Says They
Quarreled About the Key to a
Shanty.
At Henryellen ,a mining camp twenty
miles east of here, about S o'clock yes
terday morning, a difficulty occurred be
tween James Brown, colored, and James
Maden, white, resulting in the death of
Mr. Maden.
The particulars, as given to a State
Herald reporter by Mr. J. E. Lacey, by
whom Mr. Maden was employed as fore
man, are as follows:
James Brown expressed a desire to en
ter a certain shanty, to which another
negro present objected, and when Brown
insisted on entering the shanty, the key
to which he happened to have, the negro
objecting appealed to the foreman, Mr.
Maden. Maden demanded and was given
the key and forbade James Brown enter
ing the shanty, whereupon Brown cursed
Maden, and when Maden attempted to
resent the insult Brown whipped out a
pistol and shot Maden twice, each ball
taking effect In the breast, resulting in
the death of the foreman instantly.
The negro, Brown, broke for the woods
and was soon out of sight.
Brown Captured.
Brown was arrested yesterday after
noon near Vincent. He was captured by
Mr. J. F. Bates and Mr. A. M,. Dodd.
The negro had Just passed the tele
graph station when a descriptive tele
gram was received asking for his arrest.
He did not resist and admitted killing
Maden, claiming that the latter was
beating him with a stick.
The prisoner was brought to the city
yesterday evening at G o'clock and a
charge of murder entered against his
name at the county jail.
Through the courtesy of Warden Will
Reeve3 a State Herald reporter was per
mitted to interrogate the negro regard
ing the killing.
Brown seemed very low-spirited. He is
chocolate colored, medium height and
weighs about 150 pounds. His features
are,not inviting and they wear a coura
geous and determined expression. He
seemed to be impressed with the gravity
of the charge against him, but claims
that he was provoked to*do the deed.
Ills story in substance is as follows:
The Negro’s Story.
He said: “Yesterday morning was
very cold and I was sick and didn't want
to work. I went down to where the men
were at work to get the key to the shock.
An old black man there had the key and
gave It to me. It seems some one had
been stealing clothes and provisions out
of the shock, where several of us slept.
When 1 had gone a short distance a ne
gro man told me to give him the key, and
said he was going to the shock, too. I
didn't give him the Key, but told him to
come along with me. Then he asked
Mr. Maden to make me give it to him,
but I didn't and the two then rushed on
me and took it away from me. I started
off and Mr. Maden called to me to come
bark and go to work and when 1 walked
off he threw a rock at my feet. We had
some words and he cursed me and ran at
me with a stick. He struck at me and
the stick hit my wrists hare where you
see the scratches and the blood on my
hands. Other blows fell on my head and
one glanced on my cheek. I got away
from him about 15 feet and saw that he
was still after me witFTthe stick. It was
then that I snatched out my pistol and
shot him twice. He ran to me and threw
me on the ground, cursing me when he
had me down. I thought the bullets had
missed him, and heard the old colored
man crying, 'Help, white folks, help!’
When he let me loose I Jumped up and
ran. I looked nj him as I left. Mr.
Maden was lying on the ground, with
his head resting on his hand, looking
straight at me. I ran off through the
bushes."
The negro had two revolvers when
caught, one of which was empty. The
other had three empty chambers.

Mr. R. B. Goodman, Marietta. Ga.,
says: "I was troubled with rheumatism,
which the doctors called sciatica, for a
number of years, doctoring with every
thing I could hear of, without benefit,
until I commenced with Dr. King's Royal
Germetuer, which cured me sound and
well. I was at times, for several months,
so I could not walk at alt. I have now
been thoroughly well of it for four years,

A Terrible Explosion.
Barcelona, Nov. 25.--A terrible accident
resulting in a sad loss of life occurred to
day at Palmat, capital of the Island of
Majorica, 130 miles south of this city.
Eighty persons, most of whom were
women, were employed in emptying old
cartridges outside the walls of the town
when one of the cartridges exploded.
There was a large quantity of powder
that had been taken out of the cartridges
lying about and this was ignited by the
discharge of the cartridge. A tremendous
explosion, which shattered the masonry
of the town walls, which are extremely
thick, and doing considerable damages
to houses.
What the exact loss of life was has not
yet been ascertained. The bodies of
st v cnleen dead have been found, but it
is feared that many more were killed,
their bodies, perhaps, having been blown
to atoms, as a number of those who were
at work have not been accounted for.
Forty persons were seriously wounded,
and some of them will die. Many of*the
dead and wounded were found at consid
erable distances from the scene of the
accident. They had been hurled bodily
through the air by the force of the ex
plosion. Some of the dead were terribly
burned and mangled, so much so In a
number of cases that Identification will
be extremely difficult. If not Impossible.

MARRIED, YET UNMARRIED.
That’s the Position of Two Popular Tuskegee
People—Several Serious Fires
4 Reported
_ i
Tuskegee, Nov. 26.—(Special.)—Cast
Tuesday about 12 o'clock Mr. Simon Marx
of this place was united in marriage to
Miss Tommie Ashers, a young lady who
lived near Tallassee. Judge W. H. Hurt
officiated, though in order for the mar
riage to be legal the party left the resi
dence of Captain Ashers and repaired to
a grove Just inside the Macon county
line, where under a large tree and sur
rounded by their friends the ceremony
was performed in an impressive manner.
The party then returned to the home of
Captain Ashers, where a big dinner was
given.
As the matter now stands the mar
riage Is Incomplete. While they were le
gally married, yet according to the Jew
ish custom they will have to be reunited
In marriage by a rabbi. This will be done
as soon as the bride, who is now In Mont
gomery, has been confirmed In the Jewish
faith. The groom is mayor of the city
and has been a promtnent merchant here
for years. The bride is very attractive
and has a number of friends.
Saturday night Mr. Lon Torbert and
Mr. Thad Kelley, who live at Society Hill
in this county, had a difficulty about
some cotton. Torbert stabbed Kelley
just below the heart with a pocket knife,
inflicting a painful, if not serious, wound.
The barn at the normal college burned
Friday night about 12 o’clock. How it
originated still seems to be a mystery.
There were twenty-four head of fine cat
tle burned to death, besides 1000 bushels
of corn and other feedstuffs.
Mr. Joel Oswalt, who lives in the sub
urbs of town, had the misfortune yester
day to lose his barn and a large quan
tity of corn and fodder by fire. It was
with much difficulty that his ceeldence
was saved.
Rev. P. C. Morton and family left a
few days ago for Roxboro, N. C., where
thev will make their future home. Mr.
Morton has been pastor of the Presbyte
rian church here for the past eight or ten
years.
Mr. E. M. Haraldson, who has been
practicing law here since January, has
accepted a position with the Edward
Thompson Publishing company and left
today for Virginia, in which state he will
tra vel.
Mr. C. W. Thompson, president of th^
Rank of Tuskegee, has been offered (he
presidency of two different banks in
Montgomery. This Is a high compliment,
though it is to be hoped that he will see
fit to remain here.
Visitors to the exposition from here are

have attended and a large party will at

WARNER MILLER IS SILENT.
He Evidently Doos Not Relish the Canal
Commission’s Report.
New York. Nov. 25.—Ex-Senator War
ner Miller refused today to discuss the
report of the committee appointed by
President Cleveland last April to investi
gate and report upon the feasibility and
expense of construction of the Niagara
canal, which has Just submitted the re
sult of its labors to the president.
A synopsis of the report published to
day shows that the committee does nof
think that the canal can e built for the
sum estimated by the company, $69,893,
660. The provisional estimate of the cost
the commission places at $133,473,893. The
report is said to be unfavorable to the
canal company, and certain features of
the plan of construction are declared to
e impracticable. But the commissioners
say that more time should be taken In
making physical and typographical ex
aminations, and for that purpose they
recommend an appropriation of $350,000.
It would take eighteen months, they fig
ure. to make the necessary surveys and
examinations to discover if the plans
adopted by the construction company
are feasible.

THINGS DRAMATIC.
,,, Negro Minstrels.
A pleasing feature of Richards & Prin
gle’s famous Georgia minstrels, that
comes to O’Brien’s tonight, is the doing
away with the gaudy satin and velvet
costumes and unnatural powdered wigs
which have inconsistently made their
way into negro minstrelsy, and have re
turned to the old-time dress suits and the
usual costumes of the six end men. This
departure is being done to bring back
bygone memories of minstrelsy.
In the days when we were boys and
girls the songs of the sweet singers were
of melody and harmony. Then the end
man was to us far more interesting than
the circus clown, and when the old plan
tation “bfeakdown” made us almost wish
we could Join the festivities. In bygone
days the size of the company cut no fig
ure, it was -the ability to please that
counted. The Georgians will be a pleas
ant relief to the theater patrons. The
company is composed of genuine negro
performers, who are picked artists, and
the press everywhere speaks of them in
the highest terms.

DRUG AND
A STRONG APPEAL
The Membership Committee of the Commer
cial Club Issues an Address to Bir
mingham Citizens.
The Commercial club committee ap
pointed to work up a sentiment in favor
of the Commercial club and increase the
membership thereof issued the following
address yesterday:
To the Citizens of Birmingham:
The Commercial club has decided on a
new line of policy for Its future guidance,
and desires to enter upon a more active
campaign for the upbuilding of Birming
ham. It will not consider matters re
lating to purely class interest, but in
stead will concentrate its efforts on such
interests as tend more directly to the
welfare and prosperity of all classes.
In advancing the general interests of
the city, individual and class Interests
must necessarily be promoted In a great
er or less degree, and this the club deems
better, wiser and safer than in following
a policy which experience has shown
only tended to divide and create antag
onisms among our citizens. There should
be none, therefore, to oppose or criticise
a policy so manifestly advantageous to
Birmingham.
An active campaign Is likewise to be
inaugurated in behalf of present indus
tries, and to secure the location of others
here, and as this lies at the very founda
tion of Birmingham's future growth, it
should enlist every citizen among us in
its behalf.
The undersigned have been appointed
a committee to Increase the membership
of the club, that It may more successfully
perform the work it has in hand. Every
member is urged to renew his Interest in
the club, determine that it shall be the
pride and glory of this city, invite all
strangers to visit Its rooms, Increase Its
revenue so that It can more fittingly
advertise Birmingham, attend the club
meetings, enter heartily Into Its new pol
icy and help create such a sentiment of
devotion to Birmingham as will make
every citizen a worker for its develop
ment and progress. There is power in
such a sentiment, and Birmingham must
have this before she can hope for any
greater things; but with that sentiment
to sustain the efforts of the club Indeed
the world may be hers!
Now let's all work for such a spirit.
It Is certainly worth working for, and
this committee confidently apeals to our
people to help the club in this great
work. Don’t stay out another day. Join
it, that It may have the power that comes
from united effort. There have never
been brighter prospects for this people
than what now lie before us, and it is
with ourselves whether or not we profit
by them. Properly sustained, the' Com
mercial club can and will accomplish
greater things for Birmingham than ever
before, though it has already done
enough to place all in line with its ef
forts. T. L. M'GOWAN,
