WASHINGTON. June 3. A wonderful record In chess playlus: was made bv H. N. ACTION OP COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT IN MADISON.

Letting of Contracts Relative to tiie. New Jail Is Being Vigorously Criticised nnd May Be Reconsidered. HT7NTSVILLE, June 3. (Special.) The awarding of a contract for steel cells for a Madison County jail has. caused a great deal of comment during a week past and! the taxpayers of the county are awaiting an explanation from the Court of County Commissioners to show why, they awarded tha contract to the highest bidder who made a bid nearly one half larger than a rival company.

The contract was let a week ago. All bids were based upon a set of specifications calling for twenty-one steel cells, eighteen iron cells and enough structural Iron to answer the purpose. The Pauley Jail Manufacturing Company offered a bid of $15,390. The Portsmouth Steel Iron Company bid $10,100 but the contract was awarded to the Pauley Company by a unanimous vote of the four commissioners. Public attention was immediately directed to the matter and the newspapers of the city demanded that the commissioners explain their -position.

At this point the matter rests. Quite a stir has been created and the belief ie. expressed that the transaction was not right. There is hardly a probability that the contract -will will swear out an injunction and the affair! will be investigated by the courts. S.

M. Stewart, Probate Judge and Chair-: man of the court of commissioners, has written a card announcing that the action; of the court was not concurred in by him.j He courts an investigation. W. F. a commissioner, to-day publishes a card acKiiuw led ging tkat -e voted to nward the;" contract to the Pauley Company.

He an-; nounces that ho will move a rbconsidera-tlon of the contract at the next meeting of the court. If another commissioner comes over to Mr. Nance's side, the contract will be annulled and rendered unnecessary. POSTMASTER ORTON. He Is Arrested on a.

Warrant Sworii Ont by a Bondsmnn. BIRMINGHAM, June 3. C. B. Orton, postmaster at Alberta, Wilcox County, was arrested hero laBt night and to-day was taken before Federal Com; missioner Moseley, on a warrant sworn out by S.

AV. Cathcart, one of his bondsmen, charging him with embezzlement of about $1,700 of Government funds. The Government asked for a continuance until the 25th, and Orton's bond was fixed at Orton explains his arrest by saying that in settling with the Government ho gave the postmaster at Selma a check for $1,670, which had come to him from P. Olhn, a Birmingham merchant, in the regular course of business, and which was thrown out of the bank because of a lack of funds. He denies that he was trying to skip and Bays he came here on business.

His arrest was ordered by telegraph from Alberta. Olfm says he has no statement for publication. Later in the day another warrant was sworn out by Cathcart charging Orton with issuing three money orders for $100 each, payable to a party in Birmingham, without having received the money. Orton says he will be able to make bond and clear the charge up at his trial. He is a prominent young man and is well connected.

Hostilities Suspended, Hut May Be Renewed at Any Moment. HUNTS VILLE, June 3. (Special.) The farmers in the neighborhood of Madison Roads have not let up on their war against the new three wire fences.

They cherish a deep animosity against this kind of fence because they cannot allow their hogs and sheep to roam at large with safety. No fences have been destroyed within the past week, though several threats have been made against the men who have put up the new fence. It Is now understood that one who attempts to tear down a fence at night takes his life in his hand, as every man has fixed himself to protect his property. State Guard Encampment Dates.

Rlson, of jthls city, at a premium of $2,004. There were nine bidders, all offering handsome premiums.

Buster Doogan, in jail at Gadsden for murder; Jim Wood, forgery and adultery, and George Whitlin, attempted rape, came very near escaping Sunday night. They had almost sawed the bars and were ready to leave when Sheriff Lister discovered them. Several Hies and knives were found. The negro prisoners in the county Jail had concocted- a plan to murder tho jailer and secure the keys and turn everybody out, but were frustrated.

Tho negroes had been allowed the use of the corridor during the day and were locked up at night. They were to refuse to go Into the cells, and when urged were to murder the jailor and escape. The Jailer got wind of It and secured assistance, and now the negroes remain in their cells, altogether. PECULIAR POISONS. GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.

The Result of Imperfect Digestion of Food Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of certain decay and death. In the human body these germs of disease and death (called by scientists Pto-. maines), are usually the result of imperfect digestion of food; the result of Indigestion or dyspepsia. The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly digest food. The result is a heavy, sodden mast which ferments (the.

first process of decays poisoning the blood, making ft thin, weak, and lacking In red corpuscles; poisoning the brain, causing headaches and pain in the eyes. Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very Important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Brlght's disease and diabetes. And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion, shows Itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves: and muddy complextion. The great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start In life is a sound stomach.

Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic and and peptogenic products; the most sensible remedy in all ctses of indigestion is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tallets, because, they supply In a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stomachs lack. The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of tht stomach. They increase flesh, insire pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these result only from wholesome food well dfgeited. Nearly all druggists sel Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents full sized pack-uge or by mail by encloslig price to Stuart Marshall, but ask your druggist first. A little book on stomach diseases mailed free.

Jy2 The Semi-Weekly American. $1.00 a Year. HAVE THE TOES OF THE WASH-VILJLE BASE BAIiIy CXIB BEEN TURNED. IT DIED A NATURAL DEATH President Simon's Hard Work "Wan of No Avail Last Game Was a Fnrce Torre Haute Wins. The Nashville Base Ball Club of the Central League died a natural death yesterday and, owing to the rapid decomposition of the corpse, the funeral occurred at Athletic Pork in the afternoon; As was meet and proper, President Simon conducted the services and the Terre Haute team dug the grave and buried the defunct organization under an avalanche of num.

Three hundred fans were the mourners with Bob Phillips as chief. It is thought, however, that the members of the Nashville team really took the death of the club harder, deeper down in their hearts than anybody else as they had most cause for doing so. In all seriousness, yesterday's game was the last professional base ball that will be seen in Nashville during the year 1897. President Simons worked hard, ably and faithfully yesterday to get enough local lovers of the national game interested In the club to put it on a firm basis, but his efforts were futile and before time for yesterday's game he gave it up as a bad job. The players were informed and after a consultation all except Cleve, agreed to stick together and make the trip that begins this morning under the regular league schedule on the co-operative plan.

In the meantime Hub Knoll and President Simons will perfect the arrangements for the transfer of the team to Decatur, 111. All the players, with the exception of Cleve, will leave this morning for Paducah, where the regular scheduled series will be played. Cleve will probably sign with the Norfolk, club of the Atlantic League. Until the details of the transfer to Decatur are completed Catcher Belt will be in charge of the team. Capt.

Belt and his lads leave many friends behind them in the Centennial City who hope to have the same team, with a couple of good pitchers, back in Nashville next season. It Is not known what Billy Work will do. The game yesterday was more of a farce than anything else, the local ployers making no effort to win. Geralds was batted all over the lot by the Terro Haute sluggers, but his support was very indifferent. There wore no features except Blakcy's third base play and a hit over the right field fence by Rodman.

Crothy's home run was made by Kyle'js slow fielding. The game was called in the eighth inning because the players and everybody else were weary of the farce. The official score -follows: Nashville- AB. R.BH.SH.PO. A.
