Dr. J. C. Blackburn, recently edi¬

The lecture of Rev. Diaz, of Cuba,

Birmingham will have fall races,
and it is rumored that Columbus will
be “in the circuit” also. A fall meet¬

It is conceded that Columbus has the
finest race course South of Lexing¬

The few people on the streets at
haif past ten o'clock o Wednesday
night were startled and mnic strick¬

in front of Scheuerman A White's
and the thrilling cry of “Shoot him,
Eli! Kill him, Eli!” This was follow,
ed by a pounding on the dry goods
boxes in a vain call for the police,
and then all became still and dark
as the grave, relieved only by the
faint and fitful glimmer of the one
distant kerosine lamp which was
thought sufficient to light all of Hill

Oh, cabbage heads are up to par,
At Halloween.
Last'night was Halloween. No¬
vember 1 is the festival of All Saints,
or All Hallows, and is said to have
been instituted by Pope Boniface
IV, in GOT. The feast was celebrated
with great pomp at the Pantheon at
Rome, and was first established as
an annual festival by Pope Gregory
In 830.
The evening previous is Halloween,
and time and custom have made the
eve the occasion of fun and merri¬
ment, not unmixed with devilment.
The festivities partake more or less
M the superstitious ideas originally
connected with the Scotch and Irish
holiday observed on this day. Young
America, with his more practical ed¬
ucation, replaces the fairies, ’ fays
and ghosts of his Scotch and Irish
brother with practical jokes, such as
wrenching door bells, removing and
often breaking gates, and like mis¬
chievous amusements. He has en¬
ough of sentiment and love of tradi¬
tion, however, to celebrate the day,
and its perpetuation in this country
■ therefore assurred.

The Mysterious 'Stranger Who
Summoned Dr, Cronin
ON THE FATAL SIGHT OF MAY 4.
Mrs. Conklin Takes the Stunt! anil Tells
the Particulars nt the Doctor's Cast.
Call—She Says O’Sullivan Has Dyed
ltis Mustache—Mote About tho White
llorse.
Chicago, Oct. 30.—The first witness
called at the open ing, of Judge McCon¬
nell’s court was the brother of Dr
Cronin, but that gentleman being ab¬
sent Napier Moreland, aiyemploye of
Dinan’s livery stable, was called. Ho
testified as to the facts of the hiring of
the white horse on the evening of the
4tli of May, when Dr. Cronin was killed.
Mrs. Conklin, at whose house Dr.
Cronin last lived, was the next witness.
She said that at 7:30 p. m. on May 4 a
stranger, who seemed nervous and ex¬
cited, rang the door bell and when she
opened lie ened the the door door inquired inqui reluctant relui for l)r. Cronin, but
seemed very ery to enter,
finally did so i when whi told the doctor was
engaged with other patients. The
stranger then took a Seat in the waiting
room. When Dr. Cronin came out of
his office the man advanced and said:
“Dr. Cronin, you are wanted to attend
a man who has been hurt at O’Sulli¬
van’s ice office.” ■->
The doctor made a remark which I
did not hear. At that moment pbiiket the man
drew a card from his and pre¬
sented to the doctor. Dr. Cronin took
the card and said: “Oh, yea; what is
tho nature of the accident?”
He said: “A man has been run over
by a wagon.” said; ‘Twill be with
The doctor you
soon,” or something to that effect. The
two went hurriedly out of did the house as
fast as they could heard and them not turning even
shut the door. I 1
down the stairs.
Mrs. Conklin Cross Examined.
On cross examination Mrs. Conklin
emphatically reporter of denied morning that she had told story to
a differed a material details paper from a her
that in
evidence given at the morning session.
At the request of counsel, O’Sullivan
the ice man confronted the witness, and
she said his mustache had changed in
color since she had interrogated him
with reference to the physician’s disap¬ little
pearance. At that time it was a
reddish m the center, while now it was
darker. Aai effort on the .part of the
counsel to confuse O'Sullivan witli Mul-
cahy, one of his employes, failed.
Charles W. Beck, a reporter, testified
to having taken out the white horse
which was identified by Frank Scanlan
and Mrs. Conklin and Miss Sarah Mc-
Enemey and her sister Agnes, both of
whom were in the physician’s office
when he was summoned by the mys¬
terious stranger, corroborated the evi¬
dence given by Mis Conklin. Both sus¬
tained tlieir positioi position on cross exanun-
ation.

The I-ovrer of Ink.
“A small drop of ink, falling, like
dew, upon a thought, proclaims that

millions, think.” wrote Byron. The
inspiration of his pen might give the
dusky fluid such a far-reaching power,
and we wish we were possessed of might, such
an inspiration, that we
through a like a medium, bring into
such extended notice the matchless
virtues of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pur¬

ed granules which contain, in a con¬
centrated form, the active principles
of vegetable extracts that Dame Na¬
ture ’wealthy designed especially liver, to pjomote a
