Fuir Amateur (kiokn Who K.w! 1'raU‘mlmuilr. The lunoecnt Arrests n Whole I'hiiiII, at (In I’olnt nr a tlun. Shade, Alabama, November 26, 1386.— This letter leaves me at Seale. I wouldn’t ■care If all ray letters left me here. I'm “all broke up” on Seale. It is a dreary looking place, If you use a car window for your stereoscope. But when you get out and get acquainted, and taste and test its hos pitality, it is like pulling eye teeth to leave it. I don’t know whether the peo ple here like me or whether they don’t want me to be running loose about the town, but some of the citizens have been with me ever since I got here. Sometimes I think they are charmed with my com pany, and sometimes I think they are watching me. We never know anything in this world. I left Columbus on the 1:40 p. m. train on Wednesdav. It is nobody’s business what my mission is. A postal clerk on the Mo bile and Girard railroad has asked twenty or thirty people in Seale what in the so and so I was doing down here. Thej told him they didn’t know, hut they believed 1 was doing it. Ilis reply to this piece ol in formation was drowned out by the whistle of the engine, but the engine had to hump itself to do it. No, it doesn’t make any difference what I came here after. A man exhibits un enormous amount of good sense by coming to Seale, whether he comes on any partic ular business or not. I was here last week; I am here now; and if I can get in about two hours more Work on a inan I have just met, and whom 1 have never visited, I think I’ll get an invitation to come back next week. He is a man that you have to be easy with and not crowd him -or spring anything on him suddenly. Even as I pen these burning lines he smiles and dreams not of .the fate that awaits him; hut the prospects are that I will have him throttled and will be his gufest by this time next week. There is no redress in law for such cases as this. On this trip I have had the good luck to be the guest of Mr. Wilmer Waddell, one ■of the editors and proprietors ol the Bus sell Register, at the residence of his father, Major J. F. Waddell. Mr. Wilmer Wad dell is the youngest editor in the state, though his editorials display a research and mental maturiy that would do credit to a journalist of twenty years’ experience. He and his partner, Mr. Guerry, have made the Reg ister one of the best weeklies to be found anywhere. It is taken by every family in the county almost, besides having a heavy general subscription list. The paper is known far and wide for its fearlessness, and Its influence in the county is far beyond that of the average county paper. I was in the editorial room when a man came in and “tackled” Mr. Wilmer Wad dell for writing au editorial unfavorable to a friend of his who was under indict ment for a very serious off nee. The youthful editor told the visitor that he wrote it and was glad he did, and would do the same thing over again every time, and that he didn’t care who it suited and who it didn’t suit; but that it was the truth, and every good man in the com munity said amen to it. The man wi h the grievance went away in deep study. That young man will succeed in journal ism. It gives one the all-overs to sit down and hear an inspired idiot telliuga crowd about a big dinner he ate somewhere, and how he enjoyed it. It is meaner and more bor ing than to pick your teeth in front of a man who is hungry and strapped. And a man who will do either one will steal the wool from the back of a lost lamb in Jan uary. But 1 am going to mention the Thanksgiving dinner at Major Waddell’s yesterday. (That’s not what I am down here after.) The cook went away to a . funeral, accompanied by the house girl, and the four young ladies of the household cooked the “chief dinner of all the year.” If there is anything I am a good judge of, it is cooking. I have never cooked any food myself, but I have monkeyed with it so often utter it was cooked, that I j know all about it. The four fair amateur I -cooks had evidently heard that I was an j expert authority on cooked food, and de- [ termined to leave no gap down for criti- c is in. At any rate a more superb Thanks- , giving dinner was not spread in Alabama that day. The guests lingered long at the ! feast, for the cooks were at the table too, I and entertained even better than they cooked. In the evening there was a socia- , ble at the residence of Major Wad dell at which about all the | young people of the village were j present. There were music and singing j and other innocent enjoyments “nameless here forevermore;” and at midnight the company dispersed, and the house which bad been resonant all day with laughter, and music, and song, was silent at last. I have never enjoyed a day more in my life. When I come back to Columbus, I won’t be able to straighten up and pat my vest and say : “I’ve gained thirteen pounds in j fourteen days,” like the heavy editor did the other day when he came in from his i two weeks vacation. But I can say that I , crowded fourteen days of unalloyed pleas ure into one. The fourteen pounds cun be blowed. I know when I’ve got enough. [ Yesterday morning, in company with ; Mr. Wilmer Waddell, of the Register. I j started on a bird hunt we had arranged. [That isn’t what I came down aero for.] I . told him bow many thousands of ducks I had slaughtered on the St. John’s river and the inland lnkes of Florida. And he said | he knew from the way I talked that I was a hunter from huiitsville, and that it was going to be a fatal day for the feathery tribe. Mr. Waddell keeps several fine pointers. I wish he hud kept one of them at home that day. One of them seemed to iike me. It was a mutual mash, and 1 had been petting him a good deal. About a mile from the house in crossing a muddy marsh on a log, I met my friend the pointer. 1 he | fresh mud was two inches thick all oyer him and he was dripping with the water in which he had just wallowed. We met on ttie log. He gazed into my lace a moment and with a halt bara and half yell of mingled love and delight he leaped, "into my arms. He knocked the gun o mv shoulder, and I had to hug him with | b itli arms in order to balance myself on the log and keep from falling mtne water. The dog mistook my tight but necessary I hugging for a demonstration ot increased , affection on my part, and he put his paws inside of my shirt collar and blew his hot i loving breath in my fnce. I HuTlly V % to land before he could dig aH the buttons off my vest with his hind teet, which npre going iike a flutter mill. I was alone i the forest. But I couldn’t help saying j something—communing with myself, so t speak. My remarks are omitted here for want of space. At this juncture the of the Register came up and asked me hoi I came to fall in. I told him I didn t fall in. He asked me if I went into the mud on purpose. I told him no, that his pointer —his retriever—had brought me ail the , mud 1 wanted without going in after it. 1 ; like a dog that will retrieve, but I draw the line it white mud My companion and I separated again and continued the hunt, he taking one dog and I the other. , The retriever still stuck to me. and I had to keep one barrel of the gun empty all the time, so that I could pop caps at the retriever when he tried to get close to me and shake himself. At last my dog set a u ?y®iV of birds in some underbrush in an old Held. When the covey flew up l lirod | both barrels nt it and knocked about three feet off the top of the clay chimney of a negro cabin just in front of [lie, and which I had failed up to that tune to sue. It was chock full of darkies otall sizes, and the excitement among them was intense. They crawled out of the windows and doors and crevices liku rats from a burning hospital. I hurried up to the house with the intention of com promising the case by paying for the dam- age nod giving tho father of the family a riolla, or i wo ex ra to keep quiet. But to my surprise Ihu man and his wife both threw up their hands as I approached and yelled: “Hub mussy, boss, I simindah; I surrlndah.” Before I could tell them that I was not out gunning for free-born American citizens that day, the man con tinued, “I never would er tuck de shout, but I thort hit was one o’ mine. Hit was een my mark, a crop and a slit ecu one .yeah an’ a swnllow-fork een de yuthor. I 11 pay fur de hog an’ no ’sputen ’bout it. boss.” I tumbled at last. The negro bad been eating some pork to which he couldn’t show the titles, and he thought I had come to arrest him. I told him I’d let him off this time. He thanked me profusely- and I continued my hunt. I didn’t get the bird I shot at in front of the cabin but I am satisfied that I excited him considerably. After leaving the cabin of the man whose benefactor I was, I again encountered the editor of the Register, and from that on we hunted together. We found the birds rapidly and both of us had unusually good luck, as we only missed one more time each during the entire hunt. Taking the hunt, the thanksgiving din ner and the visit all together, they have made me want to move to Suale. I' don’t know how the town would vote on this move, but I have decided not to submit, it to th<* people. Majorities are always wrong anyhow. II. D. II. A BOOM FOB THE SOUTH, rim Niiulli Attracting: the Attention of Inri'Hlurs nml SiH'Oaluliirs—An firn of lam Prints Tlint lliil It—Wliy tin- Prh-o of Iron Slioniil Sot Ail- Louisville Courier-Journal. Speculation is rife in Wall street. There is a demand for stock and bonds so eager that men do not stop to examine their in trinsic worth. It is not alone in Wall street but through the whole country the fever of speculation has spread. To the south it has turned, and it is bringing millions of dollars with it for investment. At no time in the history .of the country have the southern states attracted the at tention of investors and speculators as they are doing to-day. Everywhere railroaus are building, cities are located, mines are opened, forests are given to the ax. The center of this activity is Birmingham. In that territory twenty-one new iron fur naces will shortly be erected, or are now under contract. A few years ago the stock of the Sloss company was valued at from 100 to 110; recently it advanced to 125. The sale made of property last week to an eastern syndicate made the stock worth from 300 to 350. Real estate in Birming ham is as valuable as in Chicago a few years ago. There must be something substantial back of this movement, as there must be back of every speculative enterprise of this character. It was in 1883 that the Courier-Journal undertook to show that iron could be made in the south for f9 or $10. At that time the price of iron was high enough to make eastern capitalists indifferent. There followed an era of de pression which closed many eastern fur naces. Next came an advance in prices which led to investments in the south. The high-priced furnaces in the north have not all yet been put in blast. Every advance in the price of iron one dollar a ton opens n new furnace in Ohio or Penn sylvania. It was an era in low prices for pig iron that fixed the alterition of capitalists oil the southern lields. When the reaction came they built new furnaces in the cheaper fields rather than put the old fur naces in blast where it costs $20 a ton. As far as the iron interests ill the south are concerned, we are only at the begin ning of the development. The corner of tlie iron industry twenty years hence wile be in the south. The coming of that d ly is delayed, not hastened, by the tariff. At last the furnace owners of the south begin to see it. The price of iron is advancing, and in order to prevent, it going too high, they are selling the product of furnaces not yet built; they are striving to keep down the price. Why? Because the advance to old figures will open again the high-priced furnaces in the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. If prices do not advance sufficiently to justify this, the coal fields and the iron fields of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia will be in greater demand: will have an additional value. It seems somewhat contradictory to say that an advance in iron is an injury to the iron interests of the south, but it is true, as every unprejudiced man will see who examines the situation. The iron interests now all centre in Pennsylvania. Millions of capita) are there invested, not only in the furnaces, but in rolling-mills, In foun dries and factories of all kinds. Capital is timid, conservative; it moves slowly and with hesitation As long as prices are high enough to make certain a profit, large or small, capitalists cannot be in duced to make changes. They leave new ventures and experiments to others, and for a time all the forces of society work for them. Then coines a change. The demand slackens, prices fail, and there is no profit in high-priced furnaces. Then the owners begin to enquire into the causes, and to in vestigate the results of the experiments of the pioneers. If prices again advance to the paint where profits are assured their investigations cease and their enterprise It is a low-price era which develops new fields and insures the adoption of economi cal methods or machines. A tariff that makes a profit possible on the high-priced furnaces, keeps those furnaces in blast and delays the development of new fields. Biit more than this ; low prices increase consumption. Next to low prices for food and clothes, a new country needs low prices for iron. It enters into all our la bors ; it is present in some form every where. With iron cheapened it would dis place articles now substituted for it, as steel rails have displaced iron rails. With even the present demand for iron, scores of furnaces must remain idle. I-or every new furnace built a new market must open or an old furnace must go out of blast. The development ol t ie south- ern iron fields would be helped greatly, therefore, by an era ot steady and low prices for pig iron, for in this way compe tition from the high-priced furnaces would be lessened, and at the same time new avenues for the low-priced product would be opened. . If the southern states are as wise as tlie children of this world erroneously sup pose themselves to be, they will insist on the retention of the duty on sugar and a reduction of the duty on pig iron to *3 per ton. fan'l Malm Anything Like II.

H. ] Glenn this morning to btaml their commit ment trial. The lawyer who had been re tained by Solicitor Leo to represent tlie j state having been employed by the de fence, and having gone ever to that side, the case was postponed till December 9. Tol and Joe Carden are both young men, apparently not over 26 and 28 years olu respectively. They sal near tneir counsel, and wore dressed about liku i tho average young country lurnier. Their I luces are not attractive, nut bear no dis- j tinot truces of vie to usings. A reporter for J the Enquiiusk-Sn-V, who was iu uio court 1 house, asked for an interview with the ; prisoners. The judge said it would tie , granted with the consent of tho counsel, but one of me counsel lor ttie defense pro tested strongly against the interview. Seeing the prisoners would have neon a small matter at best, as a simple denial was all they had for any questioner. Tile reporter soon found another man, however, who was worth a dozen prisoners, so far as get ting at ttie facts ill tlie ease was con cerned. This man was Mr. Henry Carden, an own uncle of the two prisoners who is, strange to say, a witness for the prosecu tion. Mr. Henry Garden is a bright spoken man of 35 wno, unlike his nephews anil their alleged victim, bears a good nattier among his neighbors. Mr. Garden s.ii-.i to the reporter: “Those boys are my nephews, and I hope they'll come clear; but 1 come here to swear to the truth and I’ll do it. What I say will go against them. All I know about the ease is this: Oil Monday after old man Saunders accused Tol and Joe of stealing his money, Joe, Tot’s brother, came by where I was pick ing cotton. I said, ‘Joe, 1 hear old man Saunders has accused you and Tol of steal ing his money.’ “Joe said, ‘Yes he has, and wo are going to kill the for saying it loo.’ •’ “I never said any more to Joe, but went on to the house to my breakfast, which was ready. A day or two after that old man Saunders came to Seale and hod Joe and Tol indicted on two charges, one for larceny and one for assault and battery. He said they Jiad tired into his house with guns and he saw ’em do it. He said that when they robbed him of his money they came down his chimney at night ami he saw ’em take it, but he was afraid to let ’em know he wasn’t asleep for fear they would kill him. Not long after he had the boys indicted and not long after they said to me that they were going to kill him—he was mur dered. I don’t know who murdered him, of course.” It may be mentioned here that Mr. Claude Heard, the jusLice of the peace at Hatchcchubbee, states to every one who cares to ask hini that Joe and Tol Garden confessed the murder to him privately, or at least before old Mr. Sanders died, and after they were arrested they confessed that they gave him the beating, from the effects of vvnieh he died. The confession was before tlie old man’s death. Mr. Claude Heard is a thoroughly reliable man. A young mnn named John Wright, a witness for the state, who. it was said, had heard the Garden boys confess the murderer was introduced to tlie re porter, but lie appeared to lie frightened and refused to say anything at all. Just , ns Wright turned to leave tne reporter, 1 whom he appeared to look upon ns a dragon with forty heads and horns, u depu ty came up with a negro named Elbert ! Cooper, who had just been arrested l'or j complicity in the murder. Cooper was j frightened nearly out of his wits. He ! shook as it with palsy, and I whined like a litter of hound puppies. | His wife accompanied him at i every step and kept insisting that“Elbut ain’t do um. How lie gw i’ kill ole man] Sanders, wen he bin sleep, tell he ain’t j know uuthin, de whole night tell day- | break? ’Fo’ Govvd Elbut nevak is bin do i it.” Elbert whimpered assent to his wife’s speech of defense and stood trembling ami I leaning against one of the court house col- ! limns, while his hand-cuffed hands hung ' listlessly in front of him. Elbert hadn’t! had time to get u lawyer to cork up ] his mouth, and when his wire closed her mouth he began to fire off his like a sixteen-shooter. When the reporter asked him what made him kill Mr. Sana- I ders, he put on a look of astonishment that ] would have done credit to an aelor ami ] said: “Who? me? bless grashus, boss, you j ain’t tink say I kill um. I would not do : um fur de wurld. I kin tell you who done it dough. I kin tell you who fust say he ■ gwi to do it. It was Joe and Tol Carden. ! I heah um say dey was gwi kill ’im. j An’ after he was dead old ] man Carden, de father oi dein two boys, come to me and told me of I ; didn’t promise to swear in favor of his boys, him and dem would swear de inui-- | der on me. I told him I couldn’t swear to ; no lie, and dat’s de reason I’m heah now.” “What did you know about it to swear?” ( asked the reporter. “Nuth’n ’eept what I heard de boys say. j Dey saiddey was gwine to kill him lor ] sayin’ dey robbed him.” The Carden boys hung around Cooper’s house when they were hiding from the [ sheriff, and Cooper hadtocompell them ] to leave several times. One night a 1 sheriff's posse who lay in the bushes near ] Cooper’s house watching to catch the Garden boys, beard Cooper drive them off and tell them he wanted nothing to do , with them. The sherff’s pos-.ee then gave chase but failed to catch the boys that night. Elbert Cooper is not known to have had any unpleas antness with Mr. Saunders. But it is not yet known what evidence will be brought against him. In fact, Cooper’s arrest is an entirely new feature in the 1 case and astonished everybody. If he was arrested on the affidavit of the father of the Carden boys, as it is reported, tho gen eral impression in Seale is that his arrest will injure the ease of the Carden boys. ■ The evidence against the two Cardens is entirely circumstantial, but from all that can be learned they have a bad case against them. Still it i> to behopedtb.it i they will be able to establish their inno cence. 11. D. II. Tin- President of tin: New York State Senate. | For expediting iegislatve business, Ed mund L.

Why didn’t sonn one tell him?” "Wayback people lioz got Inter the hab it of mindin' their own business. It’s safer. We didn’t know wot he was doin’ and he, as you say. was near-sighted, an’ 1 guess his spectacles was second-handed ones any how. rtowsomovee, wo bought him out an’ intended to use tho party bnildin’ for n new saloon, but dang me if it didn’t look so much like a church that it made us homesick.” “I see.” “Yes. the hoys just felt ns if that there cow hell was u-niigin’ out a kind of or benediction when they went to trike it down, So they let it stn.y there und got inter the habit, of swuarin’ n little less em phatic ill.v when a-standin’ in front of it.” “Yes.” “Well, tilings went on, the spirit of grace a growin’ an’ a-growin’ till one day an Italy an struck the town with a hand organ, an’ just like a providence that music factory played ‘Old Hundred’ and another church tune some of the boys knew." “ That helped along, no doubt.” “Helped! With that there elmre.lt,y- lookiu’ sknlehouse on one side of theutreut an’that hand organ a-playin’ 'Old Hun dred on the other, it just made us feel ns if we were to home again playin’ mumpeHy- peg in the back pews with the dear dead and gone old folks prayin’ ter their sins on tlie mourner’s bench. I toll you we couldn’t stand it, an’ we just made Yip our minds we’d turn that skulehouse inter a church. But there’s one tiling I forgot. There ain’t no one in VVaylmek wot kin play a organ, an’I’ll have to hire an or ganist too.” “I believe I can find a young man will ing to move there if tlie inducements are sufficient.” “Well, we talked over that, an’ allowed j that, us we hadn’t no preacher, we could give him $2 u Sunday, and Brother Billkins promised him a regular job as billiard- maker during the week.” “But that won’t suit, I know.” “Well, it is rather slow work, that’s so, an’ I thought of that too, an’ it struck me that a3 there’s a good many dudes in Wuy- baek now I could make a nice arrange ment with a man who understands hand ling tne organ an’ knows all about how to mix drinks. Brother Bluffers said only last week that he wanted u feller of -that kind, ail'd besides that there’s two or three E oker rooms in need of steady, reliable elp. There’s plenty of incioocemenfs, you see, fer a steady goili’ Christian feller, an’ we got a law against shootin’ now, so he kin refuse to drink whenever he thinks he’s had all he kin stand. That’s a big improvement, ain’t it?” “I should say so; but 1 thought you inti mated that a revival was already in pro gress?” “Its in full blast, mister. Wish you could see it. After that there hand-organ I was speakin’ about stopped playin’ we chipped in an’ asked tlie feller wot he would take for it, and told him he ought to put the price low for the good o( tho cause. Well, he did." “He did?” “Yes, he made us an offer that surprised us, but he had a monkey with him atul in sisted we’d have to take i he monkey, too, and he charged like—like lira for that.” “Yon took it?” “Oh, we had to. There weren’t no get- ] tin’ out of it: besides that we didn’t know but the monkey might lie useful for turnin’ the crank or ringin’ the bell, but he ! weren't—not half big enough.” “So you started your revival with that j instrument, eh?” “Yes, ancV lor the first three Sundays everything went as slick as grease. The boys weren’t quite sure about any tune ex- I cent ‘Old Hundred.’ so we didn’t try the ! other one. But last Sunday we got kinder j tired Bingin' that over an’ over again, so j re concluded to try the other, but dang i me if we didn’t have to play through the wickedest lot of circus music you ever | heard before we got to it. It was tlisgus- • tin’.” “So I should imagine.” “Yes; we just felt as if the sanctity of the day was broken, so we went back to Brother Bluffer’s poker-rooms. Then we held a mootin’ an’ I was delegated to come to Omaha an’ get a reg’lar organ arid some one to manage it, an’ the boys don’t want any of ycr uproaratie organists, either.” “Of course not. But what did you do with the monkey?” “The monkey! Oh! He weren’t good for nothin’ else] so wo took the unregene- I rate little cuss down to the pond, immersed ! him a couple o’ times, -looted him deaeon, \ an’ now he takes up the collection.” I could scarcely speak; it was almost ini- ! possible to breathe through my nostrils. !
