It is openly asserted that if Weaver does come here and attempts to interfere in state affairs again bewill be like Jobn L. Sullivan—he will have come scuth once too often. From all indications it will be seen that there is a pessibility of a dual governor in Alabama. Kolb and his friends are stubborn, but the leg- islature and the courts are against ‘them. ‘The sentiment of the people toward Kolb has beeu | greatly changed since he ran at the August election, ux has been shown by the November when he tried to carry the state against Cleveland. Itis not atall unlikely that trouble will grow out of any effort he may | make to be seated as governor. THe has de- | clared all along that he would be seated, but | would not say by what means. Some people | think he will ask for federal interference, in which event very serious trouble woald follow. A CAPITAL MOVING SCHEME. A new question has been sprung in Alabama | which is agitating the people. It is an effort to have the siate capital removed from Mont- gomery to Birmingham. The latter city has been the political center of Alabama for the rast two Years, both as the headquarters of the arious committees and as the place for holding | all the important political conventions. There is a strong feeling in south Alabama against any removal of the capital. It is not improbable that the matter will come up before the legisla ture, and if it does lively Bight is expected on all sides. ‘The feeling in favor of removing the capital to Birmingham has been growing for some years and is now taking shape. On Tuesday night the democrats of Alabama will celebrate the victory of their party in Bir- mingham. Twenty military companies will be here and a big parade will be the feature. Gov. Jones will be the orator. Distinguished speak- ers from all over the country have been invited. Special trains will be run from all over the state to bring the crowds here. It is expected tobe the biggest democratic demonstration | ever seen in Alabama. All the smail towns in the state have been holding ratification meetings ever since the | election. Enthusiasm knows no bounds. | —— | NEWS FROM ROCKVILLE Happenings of Interest in This Thriving Suburban City. Correspondence of The Evening Star.

"At ] o'clock yesterday afternoon ore were still over 800 in line and not more than 500 seats remaining, about one-third the number, required to ‘satisfy the demand. Yale's share of the 19,000 seats arnilable was an even 5,000.

When called upon to plead | Cooper said he was not guilty. The defense will be that he struck his wife a blow in anger after she hud hit him, and that an | open penknife that he had in his hand, which | he kad forgotten in the moment of excitement, inflicted the fatal wound. ‘The prosecution is producing evidence toshow that Cooper treated his wife with systematic brutalityand that finally he beatand stabbed her to death On the morning of the murder the chamber- maid of the hotel beard an altercation in the bed room of the Regents Hotel, where the pait was stopping, and shortly afterward there wal scream and « thud as of a body falling to the | floor.

A Colorado Boy Who Killed a Man for His Watch. ‘The case of Anton Woode, the eleven-year-old boy who murdered Josoph Smith of Denver, Col., when they wore hunting rabbite near ately went to the room. Finding the door fastened on the inside he | demanded admittance. On entering the room | the manager saw Mrs. Cooper lying undressed | near the bed and Cooper sitting on the bed | close by. There was blood on the pillow and counterpane, and further examination re- vealed a wound in the woman's left breast. Mrs. Cooper was dead. When the manager en- r said that his wife hud | fainted, and on Mr. Weldon remarking that sho | | was dead he replied that ehe was ina dead faint. Cooper was arrested. At trial today Mary Ellen O'Brien, the cham- bermaid, was the first witness called. Her evi dence was unimportantand referred only to the doings of the prisoner on the day of his arrival | and the morning of the deed. | Mr. John Champion Bradshaw, a Douglass | photographer, said be had known Mr. and Mrs. | Sooper fora long time, about two or three | years. He said that Cooper was an excitable | man and little things on Mrs. Brighton, November 2, is exciting a great deal of interest now that people bave turned their attention from election matters to other things. Woode is believed to be the youngest boy that ever killed a man in this country for the pur- pose of robbing, and those who aro watching him closely in his confinement believe him to be # moral imbecile. He will be tried for murder, and bis parents, as accessories after the fact, will also be tried. ‘They are Poles. The father worked in a brick yard, and Anton was always comfortably pro- vided for. He isa good-looking rosy-cheeked boy, tall for bis age, with « high forehead aud an intelligent face.

Few living of the patrons of base ball of ye | olden time will forget the high character of the Red Stockings in Cincinnati, and two local rival clubs of Weshington, writes Dan Leech, for- | merly chief clerk of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, in the Sayville (L. I.) News. The cities mentioned were verily base ball towns, since they turned out larger audiences to the number of inhabitants than any other places in the country, . But it was in Washington that base ball reached its highest point in appreciatiye audi- ences. The city boasted two amateur clubs— the National and Olympic—that had on their nines men of education and influence. Daring the then several annual series the grand stands and bleaching boards of the respective fields were fully occupied an hour before the game began. On the roll of membership of either club were the names of persons prominent in oficial and mercantile life, while heads of gov- ernmentsdepartments readily accepted honor- ary membership in these izati nd cheerfully contributed to their financial sup- Then, as now, of course, while the strength of anine was presumed to repose incipall: in the battin, skilifal pitching was yon 4 main dependence. It was the same battle the pitchers as today; only then it was pitch- ing, now it is throwing. Neither club had more than one man for the box and but one extra man for emergency—generally a fair all-round player, but seldom worth anything in the pitcher's position. ‘The pitchers of both nines were college graduates and more or less up in general athletics. ‘The pitcher of the Nationals was Mr. W. Williams, recently deceased, and familiarly known among buee balliste as “Billy” Williams. Not only was he master of his posi. tion on the nine, but also of the business in- trusted to his care as receiving teller of the cash room by anccessive treasurers of the United States. Of genial dieporition, he was ever smiling while on the diamond, and never #0 happy as when there. The pitcher of the rival Olympics was Mr. Edward 0, Leech, di- rector of the burean of the mint. While in many respects the pitching of Williams and Leech was the same, for head- work the latter was rated far the superior. When facing a batter his energies were wholly consecrated to the work before him and he closely studied his position that he might use it to the very best ad; in the lead. With him the welfare of the Olympic Club outweighed personal considera- tions and he was selfish to a fault of ite reputa- tion and success. Frequently refusing to notice criticisms of himself, ne was an ever ready volunteor when his club needed a de- fender. And who of the frequenters of the National- Olympica gamoa but remembers the exciting contests between these rivals for the champion- ship of the national capital? And what crowds premed upon the field or hung about the clab use at the close of a game? The Nationals victorious, the friends of the Olympics would attest their sympathy with the | oral by following them across muddy lots as, eaten tut not conquered, they dragged their tired bodies to the cozy club house, and vice versa, That base ball was appreciated to the full- est extent in Washington it is only necessary to mention a few of the actual players of the National and Olympic clubs now living. Many equally prominent have died, or if living their names are forgotten at the moment. Mr. Charles E. Coon, e: sistant secretary of the treasury, was not only « brilliant player, but also president of the Olympic Club, while Mr.Harry C.

Ever since the appearance of the Salvation Army in Switzerland there has been trouble be- tween its members and the Swiss authorities, At Basle the authorities notified the army that they must hold their meetings in one hall. ‘This order w a number of Salvationists attempted to hold a meeting in another hull. When the police at- tempted to dispossess them they clung to the benches and tables, and resisted all theattempts to eject them. The police were compelled te use considerable force before they could clear the hall. After they had all been put out they gathered outside the building, and, after ashort parley, formed in ranks, advanced at the donble ick und tried to retake the hall by storm. The police met them at the doors, ands band: to-hand fight ensued. A number of combatants on both sides were injured. Quite a number of Salvationiate were arrested.

A conspiracy. to chent the city of Philadelphia by the use of bogus coke checks at the ninth ward gas works, 23d and Market streets, has been unearthed and six people are under arrest, Two of the number are Charles Douglas, mes- senger in the coke office, and Benjamin In- gram, special officer at the works. The names of the others could not be learned, but it is kuown that four of the party are connected with the gas works and two are outsiders. Su- perintendent of Police Linden declines to talk about the affair farther than to say that the | accused would be given a hearing at the central station today. The steal will amount to sev- eral thousand dollars. The arrests were or- dered by Superintendent Linden after Magis- trate Pole had issued the warrants. see Threw His Wife Into the Flames, Atrial in which much interest is displayed began Saturday at Keniggratz, Germany. A merchant of that place named Joseph Sura was arraigned to answer a charge of setting fire to hie house at night and then throwing his wife into the burning building. It appears that Sura fell in love with his wife's sister, a girl of eighteen, He desired to marry her and deter- tained to get rid of his wife that he ht be free to do so. He thought that by setting his house on fire, after removing the most valuable articles from it, and having his wife burn to death would be an easy and safe way to get rid ofher. His plans miscarried, inasmuch as be- fore all hope of eseape from the burning build- ing was out Mrs. Sura awoke and rushed out. ‘Sura, however, was not to be baffled.

Anton’s parents have been respectable folks all their lives. They came from New York when the boy was ono year old.

Hill's visit to Atlanta at that time and the report has been revived at intervals.
