Arrested Tor Murder.
Deputy Sheriff Skiver of Henry
county, Ala., was in Daw^oti Saturday
for the purpose of taking back to that
|State a negro, George Austin, who was
arrested at Mr. Wyatt Bridge’s in the
eastern part of the county by Sher¬
iff Christie several days before.
It is alleged that Austin killed his
wife in the year 1889, just thirteen
years Capture ago, and had managed to evade
until last week.
The negro declares positively that
his name is not George but Alfred
Austin, and that he is a brother of the
man who is wanted for the crime in
Alabama, and Deputy Skipper himself
was not positive that he had the right
man, though he thought the evidence
as to the negro's identity sufficiently
stroug to warrant his being taken back
to Henry county.
The crime for which Austin was ar¬
reted is said to have been a very
heartless and brutal one, and if lie is
the right man he will probably suffer
the extreme penalty of the law\ -
Austin has been a farm hand in this
county, for a number of years, and all
oi his employers, give him a good
name.
To those superstitiousJy inclined; it
might be a significant fact that thp
number which lapsed between the
commission of the crime and the ar¬
rest of the alleged perpetrator of it was
thirteen years.—Dawson News.

Ilia Coin in bUM
The firm whose enterprise is men¬
tioned in the following exttrai t from
the Columbus Enquirer, !s represented
in this section by that popular “knight
of the grip,” Mr. L. S. Cohen:
The work of remodeling the Alston
warehouse, which has been going on
for sevoral weeks, is now drawing to
a close. The job has been pushed iu
the energetic style which has won liar
low Brothers such an enviable repu
tation in building circles, and the re
suit is one of the most modern and at
tractive buildings for a wholesale house
to be found anywhere.
Laborers, masons, carpenters and
painters have been busy iu tlie ware
house, and one would hardly recognize
the interior of the old Alston. Yes
terday an Enquirer-Sun reporter took
a stroll through the big building with
Mr. Henry Kern, the popular junior
member of the Keru & Loob company.
The big court which formerly exist¬
ed in the center of the warehouse has
been closed, makiug all the room on
t u* uppei ooi available fm storage
purposes. The two doors, together,
will give the firm a storage of 43,000
square foet. Both floors have been
fitted up in the most up-to-date man
uer for the storage of goods, and the
carrying on cl a »■!,oleic
this character. Two big elevators ivil]
convey J goods from one floor to the
other. The arrangements on the lt first „
floor are espcc,ally convement As.de
track has been it," alongside the north
sirie-of the building, and a large cov
ered platform built for the reception
of goods from the ears. Three cars
can be unloaded at tlie time along this
big platform. There are also two cn
trances on the noth side for drays,
when it is necessary for them to lake
goods along this platform. The side
traek on the south side of the ware
house will accommodate three cars. On
the south side there are two entrances
for wagous, and the driveways will he
paved with asphalted brick, while tlie
rest of the lloor will be paved with ce¬
ment. A large meat room has been
built which will accommodate 100,000
pounds of meat. Outlie upper floor
ventilation lias been provided for by
the construction of thirty-two ventil¬
ators along the side of the building,
and also in the top. It is estimated
that both floors of the building will
accommodate two hundred and fifty
carloads of goods.
The office building, which is at the
southeast corner of the warehouse, will
bo two stories high. The fixtures in
the company’s present offices in the
corner will be transferred to it, and
the officb Will be fitted up very ele¬
gantly.
A traveling man here yesterday said
that the remodeled warehouse was the
most-convenient and up-to-date home
for a wholesale business of this char
actor 1 bat he had ever sect).
The original investment and
provements represent an expenditure
on the part of the Kern & Loeb com¬
pany of about $250,000.
