UChiNG FOH CANDIDATE
The Hon. Richard H. Clarke Is
Importuned to
OPPOSE CAPTAIN JOHNSTON
But He Is Not Yet Convinced That It Would
Be for the Best Interests of
the Party.
Montgomery, Dec. 7.—(Special.)—Hon.
Richard H. Clarke of Mobile spent today
in the city, returning home tonight. The
opponents to Captain Johnston have
worked hard on him all day, importuning
and begging him to become the admin
istration candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor. He did not
promise them, and when he returned
home tonight he left the question of his
candidacy still unsettled. As he climbed
on the train your ‘correspondent asked
him for a statement in the matter. He
replied that he would greatly regret be
ing convinced that his candidacy was for
the best interests of the party, but if he
should become so convinced he would
not hesitate to sacrifice his wishes in the
matter. He said he was by no means
convinced as yet, that his whole atten
tion recently had been centered in the
trial of the Ravretta will case. He ex
pressed the belief that the democratic
nominee -would almost certainly be elect
ed. He thought there was little doubt,
too. but that the nominee would be
f riendly to the policy of the national tid
minstration.__

THINGS DRAMATIC.
“A Railroad Ticket" was repeated at
O’Brien’s opera house at matinee yester
day afternoon and again last night. The
audiences were rather small, but the per
formances good. Freeman’s Funmakers
are capable of putting up a good attrac
tion, and the smallness of the. audience
here did not deter them from doing so.
‘•A Fatted Calf.”
Without doubt one of the big successes
of the coming season is William Gill's
latest and best domestic musical comedy,
“A Fatted Calf." It was produced last
spring for a short season and scored a
hit. As the title implies, the plot is based
on the story of the prodigal son, except
that In thts instance there are three of
these interesting characters, who arrive
home at the same time in various dis
guises. The action hinges on the fact
of three sons being supplied with a like
amount of money each and sent into the
world to achieve success in their chosen
i pursuits, the most successful one at the
end of two years to marry Maple Lester,
the niece and ward of ’Squire Daniel Per
ley, a wealthy stock raiser, and father of
the three boys. Each son, shortly after
leaving home, secretly marries, and each
becomes the father of an interesting In
fant, whom he promptly names Daniel,
after the old squire. The wives are then
sent in the guise of summer boarders to
the squire’s house, each with instruc
tions to be sure to please him. In this
they are more than successful, as the
squire immediately falls in love with
them and proposes marriage to each in
tu(n. The niece in the meantime has also
married, and has added to the number of
infants by another little Daniel. The in
fants are separately consigned to theten
der mercies of Mrs. McCann, a neighbor,
who, being overtaken by some domestic
calamity, brings the four babies to the
house and turns them over to the squire,
with Instructions to take care of them
until her return. The spectacle of the
man left alone with the Infants, of
whom three were undeniably alive and
vociferous, Is ludicrous in th^ extreme,
the fun being heightened by the failure
of the mothers to pick out their own
children when called upon to help the
squire in his delimma. The tangle is un
raveled by the three sons agreeing to
make love to the “boarders" in order to
release their father from possible breach
of promise suits, the old man remarking
that three wives may be “heaven in Tur
key. but Sing Sing in New York.”
This play will be seen at O'Brien's op
era house next Wednesday and Thursday
nights.
Ladies, we invite you all to
our opening tomorrow, Mon
day, December 9.

DEATH OP DR. F. K. BECK.
A Prominent Young Physician of Mobile
Succumbs to Paralysis.
Mobile, Dec. 7.—(Special.)—Dr. Frank
K. Beck, one of Alabama’s leading young
physicians, died in this city at 3 o’clock
this afternoon. About two weeks ago he
was stricken with paralysis at his office,
and since that time has suffered untold
torture until relieved by death this after
noon. His physleians say that death was
caused by progressive paralysis, super
induced by cigarette smoking. He was
a graduate of the Alabama Medical col
lege class of 1888, and had attained his
29th year. His future was bright with
promise, and no young man in the state
was better known or more universally be
loved.

The Goulds Win.
New York, Dec. 7.—Judge Russell in the
supreme court today rendered a decision
in the matter of the taxes of the Goulds
individually £.id as executors of their
late father's estate, in which the assess
ment for 1894 made by the commissioners
of taxes and assessments is set aside.
It was claimed by the Gimlds that the
commissioners had no authority to make
the assessment, which was on $10,000,000
on the Gould estate, $400,000 on the estate
of George and $100,000 on the estates of
the others, on account of their being
non-residents.
Judge Russell finds that In 1893 the
Goulds removed from here and that
George took up his residence in Lake
wood, N. J.; Helen M. and Howard to
Irvington, and Edward to Tarrytown.
while the office of the estate of Jay Gould
had also been transferred to Tarrytown.
All the estates are therefore adjudged
out of the jurisdiction of the commis
sioners, and that they were so at the
time and before the assessment was
made._
The President Lost.
Norfolk, Va„ Dec. 7.—This is one day
that President Cleveland has thoroughly
succeeded in losing himself. Last night
the Violet stopped inside of Currituck
light, but disappeared before day this
morning, since which time no one along
the sound has seen anything of the ves
sel. Not a lighthouse along the coast
has yet been visited, so the keepers re
port tonight. It is positively known, how
ever, that the presidential party will be
at Hatterap- tomorrow.

New Bicycle Record.
New Orleans, Dec. 7.—F. C. Barnett,
the crack Class B man of Tom Eck's
team, established a world’s record for
two miles, standing start, unpaced, to
day on the spiral cement track at Ath
letic park. His time In quarters were:
36, 1:09 4-5, 1:43 2-5, 2:18>/4. 3:65, 3:29, 4:04,
4:39. thus clipping seven seconds off Har
ry Clark's record of 4:4fi. J. C. Johnson
went a mile paced by two quads from a
"pick-up" in 1:53 2-5, which is the record
for a quarter mile track.
THE OLD STORY.
A Young Man Falls Between the Coaches of
an East Birmingham Dummy and
Loses His Right Arm.
James Claypool, a young white man,
who works at Gate City, fell between the
coaches of an East Birmingham dummy
last night about 7:30 o'clock and had his
right aim cut off by the wheels just
above the elbow.
The young man is about 19 years of age
and has a mother and brother at Gate
City. He was standing on the platform
between the coaches, and was thrown
beneath them when the train reached
the curve at Thirty-second street, near
the gin works. He was taken to Mr.
Beckett’s house, close by, where Dr. B.
G. Copeland dressed his arm.

BIDDING FOR THE CONVENTION.
San Francisco Is Working Hard and May
Get It. X
Washington, Dec. 7.—Seven cities will
contest for the honor of entertaining
within their limits the national republi
can convention of 1896. The prize will be
awarded by the national committee at its
meeting in the Arlington hotel in this
city next Tuesday. A preliminary meet
ing of the executive committee of the
national committee will he held Monday
night, at which the details of Tuesday's
session will be arranged. Besides select
ing a convention city, the committee will
have to dispose of the resolution intro
duced by H. C. Payne of Wisconsin and
seconded by W. M. Hahn of Ohio for a
change in the basis of representation in
the convention from the arbitrary now
existing to one proportioned to the re
publican vote cast for president in the
last preceding election. It has been dis
cussed in committee and no action taken.
It is likely that it will be referred by the
committee to the convention without
recommendation. The candidates are
San Francisco, Salt Lake, Minneapolis,
Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburg and New
York. Washington, while not a candi
date in the sense that the others are,
will hold itself in a receptive mood to
take the honor in case the committee
finds it necessary thereby to escape a
deadlock. That the committee may not
altogether overlook this fact, a commit
tee of the board of trade and other prom
inent citizens will attend the meeting of
the national committee.
San Francisco is most in evidence in
the preliminaries to the contest. The
movement to take the convention was
early begun several weeks ago, and has
been managed with much activity and
ability. The Pacific coast city has sev
eral serious objections to overcome—
chief among these are the allegations
that the telegraph service would be in
sufficient; that the difference of three
hours’ time between the Pacific and At
lantic coasts would not give satisfaction
to the eastern papers, and the great
expendituie of time and money necessary
to make the trip from eastern points.
The San Francisco committee that has
reached Washington are here to pledge
$150,000 for the expenses of the conven
tion, a hall large enough to hold the con
vention and many thousand spectators,
a $50 round trip rate from Chicago to the
coast, and on behalf of the telegraph
companies a competent and satisfactory
wire service. The difference In time, they
frankly avow, cannot he overcome, hut
as a palliation say visitors and members
alike will find that every day in San
Francisco comprises twenty-four hours
of the same length as those in the cast.
San Francisco counts on twenty votes,,
out of the fifty-one in the committee on
the first ballot.
Republicans Kick.
Columbia, S. C.,- Dec. 7,—The republi
can state executive committee tonight
issued an address In which it says; It
has been well said that no question can
be regarded as definitely settled until it
has been settled aright; that is, on the
basis of right and justice. If this say
ing be true, certainly the suffrage ques
tion cannot be regarded as definitely
settled by the recent enactment of our
so-called constitutional convention, for
no fair-minded man can pretend that this
enactment is based on either right or
justice. On the contrary, it Is the very
essence of injustice and wrong, being
nothing less than an attempt to perpetu
ate cheating and fraud in elections by
enacting it into the fundamental law of
the state, as was fully admitted in the
discussion bv its author and chief advo
cate, B. R. Tillman. This, indeed, was
the openly avowed purpose for calling
the convention, and that purpose, it can
hardly be denied, has been faithfully car
ried out, and that, too, In clear and pal
pable violation o'f the constitution and
laws of the United tSates.
Tne ooumeiu iu as
Washington, Dec. 7.—The Southern
railway will enter Norfolk, Va., the first
week in January, running its trains over
the Wilmington and Weldon from Selma,
N C to Tarboro and over the Norfolk
arid Carolina from the latter point to the
new terminal point at Pinner’s point on
the Norfolk harbor. Creat numbers are
at work on the Southern branch fine be
tween Greensboro and Selma putting in
iron bridges and preparing it f r the
heavy through traffic. The Southern
will at once become a more active com
petitor of other roads terminating at
Norfolk and expects to secure a fair
share of business from the steamer lines
on the Chesapeake bay and by sea. Sec
retary Hyde of the Southern says his
road for the present will exchange
freight with all steamer lines instead of
establishing exclusive connections.
A 8250,000 Fire.
San Francisco, Dec. 7.—The three-story
brick building at the corner of Bush and
Battery streets, owned by the Clark es
tate, and the adjoining building, owned
by the Samuels brothers, was gutted by
tire tonight. The Clark premises were
occupied by Hoffman, Alexander & Co.,
wholesale clothiers, and Freedman . &
Rogers, wholesale boots and shoes. The
Samuels building was occupied by C. L.
Haskell, saddlery and harness. A rough
estimate at a late hour places the loss
on buildings and stocks at $250,000. The
amount of insurance is unobtainable.
The origin of the fife Is unknown.
The Expedition Abandoned.
Key West, Fla., Dec. 7.—Sixty men of
the filibustering expedition of Gen. En
rique Collaza. whose camp equipage at
Cape Sable, Fla., was captured Thurs
day by the revenue cutter Winona, have
returned to this city. Besides General
Collaza. the leader of the party, there
are Dr. Antigas Conspiere, Juliet, Guerra
and Jose Rodriguez, all prominent in
Cuban affairs. The rest of the men who
were at Cape Sable are expected here
tomorrow. This probably ends one of the
largest and best prepared Cuban expedi
tions yet attempted._
Bishop Nicholas’ Correction.
San Francisco, Dec. 7.—Bishop Nicho
las says the story telegraphed from Chi
cago that the holy synod has directed
him to build a $500,000 cathedral at Chi
cago is incorrect. He has authorized
the priests in Chicago to build a church
there, but the price will be nearer $5000
than $500,000.
Death of Dr. Davis.
Montevallo, Dec. 7.—(Special.)—Dr. Jeff
Davis, one of the foremost young physi
cians in the state, died here this evening.
He was one of the brightest lights in
the medical profession and no one had
a more promising future. |
A TRAGIC RECITAL.
Or the Very Remarkable Episode in Alkali
Ike’s Life.
Puck.
"Adventures,” modestly replied Alkali
Ike I to the question of the inquiring
jfpuag tourist from the east. “Eh-yah,
I've 'had a few little scraps of one kind
an’ another In my time, but nothing that
you could really call adventures. Nach
er’il enough, bein’ a man of the world,
I've been shot by the Indians four or five
times, an’ stabbed an' the like a time or
two by personal friends, an’ lost in a few
blizzards, an’ mixed up in an occasional
fight, an’ narrowly escaped lynching
twice for one thing an' anothei, and
farredean'-feathered quite numerously,
an’ run over and lavishly horned by
about 1000 stampeded steers, an’ drug
across the township with a lariat-rope
around my fool neck by own broncho,
which had previously bucked me off and
then kicked me senseless before I hit the
ground, an' pretty tolerably near brained
with the butt of a revolver in the hands
of a presidin’ elder, an’ shot In the back
by a charming young grass wider lady
for a little suthin’ or ruther, an' branded
by a gang of drunken cowboys, an’
ripped an’ torn and sech like by several
kinds of varmints; but after all thar
ain't nuthin’ happened to me really
worth callin’ an adventure.”
“My goodness!” ejaculated the tourist,
"If you do not call those adventures I
should like to know what you do call
them?”
"Aw!” returned the modest Isaac; "I
reckon ‘episodes' is about the proper
word. But. comes to think about it, thar
was one little circumstance that hap
pened to one that mebby you might call
an adventure. I was traipsing around
in the mountains, the time I’m speakin’
of, with a huntin’ party, an’ one day I
sets out up the canon alone, sorter look
in’ for a grizzly. I found him after a
spell. I’m crawlin’ along on u narrer
shelf of rock, whur the side of the canon
towered up quite a piece in the air above
me an’ fell off on the other side in a sheer
precipice to the bottom of the gulch,
about 10W feet below. Well, bime-bye, I
comes to whur the shelf ends against the
blank wall, an’ I’m sorter figgering on a
turnin' an’ crabbin' back over the trail,
when all of a sudden yere comes the
grizzly I'm lookin' for, rumblin’ round an
elbow in the trail behind me, lookin’ as
big as a load of hay an’ as savage as a
buzz-saw.”
"Good heavens!” exclaimed the listen
er, “how did you feel?"
"Sorter streaked, thank ye! Thar I was,
hemmed in like a cat in a bag, on that
thar narrer Bhelf, with the snow-capped
mountain above me an' the roarin’ catty
ract beneath me, as they say in stories,
with a solid wall of rock before me an* a
rampin’, ragin’ grizzly bear behind me,
gnashing his teeth a whole lot an' growl
in shameful. The varmint utters a hidjus
road an' comes at me a-faunchin'. I
throws up my rifle like this an’ pumps a
pugfinto him, which same he don’t mind
#o more than a sugar-coated pill. With
ipne sweep of his mighty paw he knocks
«n>’ gun spinnin’ into the abyss below, an*
nacher’l enough I begins for to pick at
the coverlid an' grow blue around the
mouth. An' then—Har? What's that.
[Bank? Why, shore yes! I reckon you'll
have to excuse me now, Mr. Eastman;
IHank Bitters is hollerin’ for me to come
>«ver to the Red Light an' take a little
.huthin’ with him. .So long! See you
pter."
"But. heavens, man!- Tell mo how you
.escaped. There you were, completely at
• the mercy of the monster who was on
the point of devouring you. What did
‘you ^0?"
"Ah! I jest stayed thar an’ let him
'devour me.”
THE COMMUNION SIPHON.
Invention of a Cup to Prevent tho Trans
it j mission of Disease.
¥he recent death of a cancer patient
as the resuit of inoculation and the rec
ognition that consumption is contagious
has suggested the possibility of danger
In the common use of one cup in the ad
ministration of the communion. It is
known that many partake whose physical
condition demands Individual service,
and there are some who are deprived of
this blessing from a sense of justice to
other communicants. Tt is an interesting
question whether the church Is exempt
from the regulations of medical science
In view of this transmission of disease
made possible by a collective use of one
oup.
At any rate, the individual cup now
largely used has met with considerable
opposition because of its apparent ex
clusiveness. To obviate this objection a
communion siphon has been devised
which retains the idea_ of union and fel
lowship in the presentation of one cup,
effectually prevents the transmission of
disease and has a cleanliness which
makes it most attractive. It is intended
for individual use. The wine can be free
ly drawn from th" cup, but, owing to its
formation, not one drop touching the
lips can return. It is easily cleansed,
and is of pure silver, so that no unpleas
ant taste is communicated. The cup is
arranged In two parts, inclosed in a
leather case of small dimensions and con
veniently carried.
