Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 12.—The no-
torious Meachamite gang in Clarke
county, in south Alabama, is again
causing considerable trouble, and
three of the gang have been sent to
eternity by the rope and limb route.
The Meachamite gang has been a dis-
turber of the peace in Clarke county
for many years, where they have been
running illicit distilleries, making
counterfeit money and committ ing rob-
bery and murder. Ten days ago

finance. Nothing more, as the com-
mittee conserved, could have been ex-
pected save brief post mortem obitu-
aries. The bills, many of them, may
have been reluctantly introduced by
request and therefore not very tenderly
nursed, even by their able and eminent
godfather. These eccentricities ought
not to be asked of senators and should
anv member be charged with their real
authorship, I hope he would bo able to
plead in'defense an alibi. With no rea-
sons offered for the introduction of
these multitudinous billion dollar
bills, a sufficient reason for the ad-
verse report would appear to have
been that they were all death-stricken
from an overdose of the legal tender
nostrum at their birth, administered
by the accoucheur. One of these bills
proposed an issue of lejal tender money
forty times greater per capita than
had. Another to

Figuratively speaking, the bills were
all of one brood and of the same
feather—birds of inflation, none worth
a charge of powder, but legislative
dodoes, unlikely ever to be seen on the
earth again.'
Mr. Morrill then discussed the finan-
cial situation and the question of sil-

by saying; "I do not imagine that any

gold, as the train neared the bridge,
climbed on the running board and cov-
ered the engineer with a six shoot.'r,
while his companion climbed over the

bandits joined them.
Messenger Cherington looked out of
the door to see what was the tro V.de
and found himself looking into the
muzzles of five six-shooters, while the
bandits told him to "throw up his
hands" nnd "get down out of there."
Cherington leaped to the ground a i 1
took to the woods, closely followe I by
a volley from the six-shooters. Then
one of the robbers went through the
express car and found the throug'i safe
locked. All they secured was the mes-

bullet entered his overcoat just over
his heart, struck some books- and re-
ports in his inside pocket, passed
through these and lodged in some pa-
pers he had in his inside vest pocket.
The robbers then went through the
coaches, beginning at the smoker and
taking everything of value the passen-
gers possessed. About 8800 and ten or
fifteen watches were secured. After
the bandits had gone through the
sleeper they fire I several volleys and
disappeared in the woods close by.

FINANCIAL QUESTION.
omiiieiit Topic in the Senate
This Session.
Washington, Dec. 12.—The events of
the past few days leave little room for
doubt that the financial question is to
be a prominent topic in the senate dur-
ing the present session, and there are
some facts which point to a state of af-
fairs which may render the session one
of great intere-t. It isunderstood that J
the instructions of the democratic sen-
atorial caucus do not ?o to the extent i
of indorsing the recommendations of |
the president and secretary Carlisle, j
but only require the finance committee
to take these suggestions under consid- J
I eration. as they would any other sug-
! gestions bearing on the questions which
might come from a creditable source. }
In the senate at large the plan appears
to commend itself to some of the south- j
' ern senators, largely because of its pro- j
I vision for the removal of the state bank
tax. If a bill on the lines suggested j
should reach the senate it would be op-
! posed by the extreme free silver men. |
who believe that if a law containing
such provisions should be enacted it
would prove a death blow to silver.

World's Fair
Medal and Diploma
awarded to
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
The highest award was given on every claim, comprising
1 superiority in leavening power, keeping properties, purity and
excellence. This verdict has been given by the best jury
ever assembled for such a purpose, backed by the recommend-
ation of the Chief Chemist of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., who made an elabor-
ate examination and test of all the baking powders. This
is pre-eminently the highest authority on such matters in
America.
This verdict conclusively settles the question and
proves that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is
superior in every way to any other brand.
N0T8.—The Chief Chemist rejected the Alum baking powders, stating
to the World's Pair jury that he considered them unwholcsomt.
