THE ALABAMA MIDLAND.
The Eeascns Why it Would be of Great
Advantage to Savannah.
Midland Crrr, Alabama Midland
Railroad. Mitre.i 13.—With the opening
and compietio* of the Alabama Midland
railroad, penetrating the finest cotton belt
of Alabama. Savannah has added to her
many other advantage* anew field for the
! trade of her urogreesive and enterprising
| merchants. It passes through C 5 nines of
! S .ttihwest Georgia, from Bainbridge to
i this point, and 110 fro-n here to Mont
! gomery, a total of 175 miles from Bain
bridge to Montgomery. It would be strange
j were not Sava:.nan fully awake to these
1 new advantages to her growing trale. In
a few weeks passenger coaches will be run
jlo miles from Bainbridge to Mont
! gomery. The country ail surround
|mg this read is well timbered,
-and added to this a 1 vantage
; is a good agricultural region. Only five
years ago vour correspondent, when writing
tu your pater, predicted that this section,
when developed, would be the garde i spot
of Alabama, and truly this prediction is
today fully verified. 1 have traveled over
this new road from Bainbridge to Ozark,
and never in all my life have I ridden cm a
better road. The steel rails and ties on it
are especially good, and if I mistake not
future fine cities will spring up soon all
along this rente, which will be the great
thoroughfare of travel from the north and
northwest to - Jacksonville, Fla Mont
gomery is awake already. Her commercial
travelers are here in full force, and if Sa
vannah would control the cotton in the fall
she, too, “must look to her laurels.”
A WIDE-AWAKE COUNTRY.
If any of your readers think that the new
south is dead and sleeping let me disabuse
their minis of this error. All along the
whole line of this road of 175 miies there
are evidences of prosperity,and the saw and
hammer of the mechanics are beard ail the
while at each town and station on the
Alabama Midland railroad.
Great opportunities are before us all, and
shall we stand idle and not reap them?
M ontgomery is soon to have a great ex
cursion to her'city, and will not Savannah
follow next and invite our citizens and
merchants over to the queen city by the
sea in grand old Georgia ? Let us hope that
you Kill, and show the hospitality that
Savannah is noted for.
4Ve now have two daily trains, one west
at 7 o'clock p. m. from Bainbridge. and one
eas* at 6 o'clock am. from Ozark. In two
weeks we will have through passenger cars
to Montgomery.
CAN'T FIND HER HUSBAND.
Pitiable Plight of a Woman Left
Among Strangers.
Alb art, Ga, March 13—Tciay a
neatly dressed, demure little lady walked
into tbe Xeics and Advertiser sanctum, and
displaying much emotion said: “Please sir,
can you help me to find my husband.”
After much weeping she told tbe editor the
following story: “My husband, Mr. E. G.
Jarbeau. travels thr ugh the country selling
machinery. We are Cuicazo people, and I
come with my husband tnis trip to enjoy
the mild climate of tbe south. On Sunday,
March 2, we were in Tallahassee and he left
me, saying that he would go to Thomas
ville, where he would write to me, giving
me instructions where to meet him.
GREW IMPATIENT. %
“I grew impatient waiting for a letter
and finally took the train and went to
Thomasviiie. There I found that my hus
band bad taken dinner at one of the hotels,
and |ld tbe clerk that he was going on to
Albany. 1 came on here, but can’t find
that he has been here at all. O, what must
I do?”
“You don’t think that your husband has
deserted you*”
“O, no! That is the least of my trouble.
I have just been separated from him in
traveling, and am anxious to find him. I
might advertise or I am willing to entertain
anv suggestion you might make.”
The reporter suggested that she have
some circulars printed giving a description
of her husband, and send them to the
authorities in surrounding towns, asking
for inforrnmian concerning the whereabouts
of her liege lord. She scattered the circu
lars, and then went in search of Chief of
Police Westbrook for his help in recovering
her lost better half.

GUNS OF THE VESUVIUS.
The Three Pneumatic Death Dealers
show Up satisfactorily.
Pailadelphia, March 13—The final
official test of the three pneumatic guns of
| tbe dynamite cruiser Vesuvius was made
I to-day. The cruiser was towed from her
I dock at Cramp’s ship yards this morning to
a point in the Delaware river opposite Mar
cus Hook, and was brought bars at 8 o’clock
to-nighL -Although tie result of the test
will not be mad- public until a report is
mad-- to the Secretary of the Navy, it is un
derstood to have been satisfactory in all re
spects
MAKS UP OF THE TRIAL BOARD.
Those on board were Commander Royal
B. Bradford of the cruiser Philadelphia,
pres dent: LieuL Comma :der Henry N.
Manev. and Lieut Seton Schroeder, who.
it is said, will command the Ves lvius, c <m
pri&ing the official trial board appointed by
tbe Secretary of the Navy; President
Schuyler of the Pneumatic Dynamite Gun
Company, and three engineering experts,
beaded t>y Capt Rapiaff, until recently of
tho Russian army.
THE FIRING.
One explosive shell weighing 203 pounds
and tilled ith gun cotton was fired from
each gun, and in ad'lition several wooden
Bombs were discharged. The firing was
and i.e over a measured mile, and the projec
tiles are said to have gone in some instances
a third of a mile beyond the required dis
tance. This was accomplished with a press
ure of 700 pounds. Three different fuses
were used, the first being timed to explode
a projectile in seconds after striking the
water, the next in second and the last
immediately upon touching the water.
THE SHOCK FELT FOUR MILES.
Tie shock from the latter, it is said, was
felt in the city of Chester, four miles dis
tant. While tho firing was going on Com
mander Bradford and Lieut. Maaey were
in a tug watching the course of the pro
jectiles, while Lieut. Schroeder remained
on the Vesuvius to observe the action of
the guns. The explosion of each of the
three loaded shells was followed by a vio
lent comm tion in the wat.-r, and those wh >
witnessed the firing say that no vessel could
withstand the force shown.
To-day's test was the fi lal one as far as
the guns are concerned. They have been
previously tested for rapidity of fire. It is
thought that the trial board will submit its
report to Secretary Tracy within a day or
two.
MINNESOTA’S MINERS.
They Want the Rate of Wages Paid
Them Three Years Ago Restored.
Minneapolis, Minn., March 13.—A spe
cial to the Journal from Ashland, Wis.,
says: “The miners in the Aurora, Pabst,
King, and Germania mines at Ironwood
are very likely to follow the example of the
Norrie and Ashland men and quit work.
Great dissatisfaction exists on account of a
reduction in wages and the importation of
foreign lab rers. A statement that 3,000
men are already out is exaggerated. The
advance siljg for this season are larger than
usual, and the men feel more independent
for that reas >n. They will try to get the
wages paid three years ago.”
THE MEN OF MANCHESTER.
Manchester, England, March 13.
Delegates representing 250,000 coal miners
held a conference here to-day. It was de
cided not to submit the questions at issue to

on these terms the men will go on a strike
Saturday night next.

officer at the port of Baltimore. He ob
jected to an amendment which authorizes

ors the power to appoint the registers as
well as the judges he would have voted aye.

THE STORY OF A BLACK BASS.
An Interstate Experience that a New
York Artist Once Had.
From the New York Sun.
“Every one who sees that fish for the first
time wonders why it is preserved and
mounted with such care,” saida well-known
New Y ork artist, who has among the mass
of artistic things scattered about his studio
a small black bass which is handsomely
mounted on a polished board, and looks as
natural a3 life. There is certainly nothing
in its appearance to indicate why it should
be thus preserved, for in size it is hardly
large enough to warrant an angler iu
adding it to his catch.
“That bass has a story that I wouldn’t be
afraid to bst no other fish can boast,” con
tinued the ariist. “A few years ago I was
spending the summer in the Delaware val
ley. I went out bass fishing one day accom
panied by a local fisherman as guide. Oar
beat was floating slowly down “the stream,
when, as we neared a rock in the middle of
the river, I had a strike on one of my hooks,
and the next second a big bass sprang out
of the water at the end of my line. He
was hooked, and began a desperate
fight We floated on past the rock, the bass
fighting so that it was’ necessary to keep the
boat going and wn stream, when suddenly the
guide seize 1 the oars and began pulling up
steam with all his might.
“ ‘Hold on!’ I shouted. ‘Let her float I’
“ ‘But we’ve got into Jersey!’ he replied.
‘ We’re in Jersey, and it’s against the law to
fish there for two weeks yet!’
“I thought the man was going crazy, but
I ordered him to quit rowing, for I wanted
to kill that big bass. He obeyed with a
growl, and said that if Constable Van Rav
saw us it would be a dear bass to me as well
as to himself. In the m antime the bass
was making a noble fight, and the first
tuing I knew another bass seized a hook on
the leader, and I had two to look out for.
The second was a small one, but he was a
fighter, and I had all I could do to handle
them, the guide was so stubborn. We had
caught a turn iu the current fifty feet or so
below the rock, and the boat floated off
toward the western shore of tae river.
That was just the direction I wanted at
that time, but we hadn’t gone ten feet
before the guide grabbed tho oars again and
went to pulling up stream with all his
might.
“ ‘Drop the oars!’ I yelled, madder than a
bull. ‘Do you want me to lose these fish ?’
“ ‘But we’re in Pennsylvauy!’ whined the
native. ‘There hain’t no place where it’ll
go so hard with us for breakin’ the game
laws as it will in Pennsylvany, and it’ll be
three weeks yit before you can fish for bass
in Pennsylvany!’
“I then male up my mind that the guide
was surely a little off, but just then both
bass shot up stream, and I shouted to him
to pull ahead as fast as he could. He did it
with a will, and as he pulled t e boat ud
past the roc:c a look of relief came over his
face.
“ ‘Now we’re all right!” he said. ‘We’re
back in New York ag’in, where it hain’t
against the law to catch bass.’
“The fish were now pretty well played out.
I reeled them in, but just as they came
within reach of the landing net the big one
turned and gave a desperate lunge. The
leader snapped in tw > and away went the
large fish. The small one w s above the
break and I g t him in, but I would have
thrown him b ick again if my guide hadu’t
just then exclaimed:
‘“Well, there! That’s the first time I
ever knew a fish to be hooked iu Now York
state, and fit all the way across New Jer ey
and Pennsylvany back into Now York
