NUMBER 149. m LIMIT IS REDUCED Section 4 of Article Adopt ed by Convention. NO CHANGE WAS MADE A Stubborn Contest Which Consumed Three Days. General Assembly! Prohibited from Levying over 05 One-hundredths of One Per Cent—Many Speeches Yesterday. After a debate continuing practically throughout three days the Constitution al Convention, at 4:40 o'clock yesterday, afternoon adopted Section 4 of the Ar ticle on Taxation Just as it was re ported by the Committee. It reduces the limit upon taxation in Alabama from 76 cents to tie cents. An effort was made Saturday by Mr. deGraffenreid of Hale, to get a com promise by fixing the limit at 70 cents but the Convention, after debating the subject all of yesterday laid this amendment on the table. Although the Convention reached Section 6 of the Taxation Article be fore adjourning practically nothing else engaged its attention yesterday, but the Section providing for the reduction of the tax limit. Numerous speeches were made and notwithstanding there were few persons in the gallery many of the delegates were eloquent. One of th best speeches of the day was made by Mr. Lomax of Montgomry, in oppo sition to the reduction of the limit. Before adjournment Section 5 of the Taxation Article was reached and It developed that this Section, too, is to cause something of a fight in the Con vention. It provides for the lecy of special taxes by counties and gives them local option in the matter of levy ing a tax for schools providing the question Is submitted to the vote of me uiivvivM. The Convention was opened yester day morning with prayer by Dr. Pat terson, pastor of the First Fseebyte rlan Church, with 82 members present. Mr. Fletcher of Madison, sent for ward and had read a resolution pro viding that the Suffrage Article be made a special order Immediately after the consideration of the Article on Tax ation. The resolution was referred. Mr. Heflin of Randolph. Chairman of the Committee on Printing, Schedules, etc., sent forward a report from that Committee recommending the adoption of a resolution authorising the publica tion of the local acts of the General Assembly In two volumes. The reso lution was tabled. The pending question being the de Graffenreld amendment to Section 4 of the Article on Taxation, proposing to fix the limit at 70 cents, Mr. Watts of Montgomery, who was speaking Satur day when the Convention adjourned, was recognized. Mr. Watts made an able, logical and forcible argument against the proposi tion to reduce the tax limit. He de clared that It could not be done with Mr. Maxwell of Tallapoosa, a mem ber of the Taxation Committee, fol lowed Mr. Watts in an argument in favor of the Committee report. It was his maiden speech and he was well re ceived Mr. O'Neal of Lauderdale, made a strong spech against the proposition to reduce the tax limit and cited statis tics to show that it was a dangerous undertaking. He characterized it as unwise, unsafe, and said it would Im pair the credit of the State and Invite disaster. Mr. Spragins. of Madison, In sup porting the Committee report, said he disliked to disagree with Mr. O’Neal, who Is his next door neighbor. He said he would simply make an argu ment as he thought it was improper to discuss such an important question passionately. 'He appealed to the del egates to vote to reduce the limit as it would Induce Immigration and bring capital to Alabama. Mr. Lomax of Montgomery, made an eloquent speech in opposition to the Committee report. He said the Com mitteemen had wandered Into the field of speculation. They could not tell with any degree of accuracy what financial conditions might arise la the future and delegates should go slow In lowering the limit. He spoke Of changes in the convict system which he ffaid might ultimately cause the State to lose considerable revenue. There might be epidemics and strikes. All of these things would cause vast expenditures of money and the State should be in a position to provide for emergencies. He appealed to the Con vention not to Imperil the honor of the State and admonished the delegates to have the manhood to say that they would not be swayed by pandering to cheap popularity. Mr. Heflin of Chambers spoke In fa vor of the adoption of the committee report. He said he hurled the charge of pandering to cheap popularity into the teeth of the gentleman on the other side of the question. The committee had carefully investigated the matter and its members were convinced that it was safe to lower the limit. The Democratic party had pledged iaself to lower taxes if possible and the com mittee had said it was possible to dace further restrictions upon the General Assembly. He declared that the dele gates should guarante relief to the peo ple if they desired that the Constitu tion should be confirmed at the polls.. Mr. Jenkins of Wilcox got the floor and was speaking in opposition to the committee report when the con vention at 1 o’clock took a recess un til 3 o’clock. The Afternoon Session. The delegates were late in assembling for the afternoon session and *1 mem bers responded to the call of the roll. Mr. Jenkins of Wilcox resumed nle argument in opposition to Section 4 of the article on taxation which pro poses to reduce the tax limit to S5 cents. He made an eloquent addicts and was frequently applauded. Mrf. Blackwell of Morgan also ad dressed the Convention in opposition to the committee report He did not ta vor shackling the State by limiting Its power to tax In emergency. He de plored tbe failure of the lent Legisla ture to pass the bill which sought to Increase the appropriation for Confed erate soldiers. He declared he. wanted to go on record ms favoring any propo sition that would permit the State to better provide for These old soldiers. Gen. Sanford of Montgomery spoke In favor of a tax limit of CS cents. He criticised gentlemen on tbe other side of the question for .tbslr charge of ’‘cheap popularity." He said the com mittee could have fixed the limit at 60 cents. The compromise of 66 cents had been reached out of deference to timid members of the Convention. He elucidated1 the Idea that .the proposition was not to reduce taxes but to reduce the limit. He Illustrated his argument with several good stories which con vulsed the delegates with laughter. Captain White of Jefferson, spoke in favor of leaving the tax limit as It Is In tbe present Constitution. He de clared that Jefferson County paid as much taxes as all counties south of Montgomery combined save Mobile. The population of these counties, he said Is 380,000. The population of Jef ferson County Is 140.000. He said that a reduction of tbe tax limit was a proposition favorable to Jefferson County but that In the Interest of the whole people he favored leaving the tax limit at 76 cents. Taxes are paid on millions of dollars of property In Jefferson County, which represents no population. When the scourge of epi demics visits the country, thers must be ample money at hand. He said that the attempt to reduce the limit might result In a blow to the education of the pale faced children of Alabama. He admonished the delegates from white counties to vote against the Section as reported by the Committee. Captain White concluded his remarks by moving to lay the motion of Mr. deGraffenreid of Hale, on the table. The deGraffenreid amendment sought to fix the rate at 70 cents and waa In troduced Saturday. The deGraffenreid amendment was tabled by a viva voce vote. Mr. Williams of Marengo, moved the previous question on the Section re ported by the Committee, and Captain White moved to table the entire Sec tion. Mr. Browne. Chairman of the Com mittee on Taxation, demanded the ayes and nays and Captain White said be joined with him in the demand. On an aye and nay vote the motion to table the Section was defeated by a vote of 32 to 66. Mr. Williams of Marengo moved the adoption of Section 4 of the Article, and called for the previous question. The debate on the section was closed by the chairman of the Committee on Taxation, Mr. Browne of Talladega. Mr. Browne concluded his argument at 4:40 o’clock and the section was then adopted by a viva voce vote. Sev eral members voted against It and th# result of the vote was received with UDPIHUBC. The Bection as adopted reads as fol lows: “Section 4. The General Assembly shall not have the power to levy In any one year a greater rate of taxation than slx'y-ilve-one hundredths a*, one per centum on the value of the taxable property within this State.” Section 5 of the report of the Com mittee on Taxation was then taken up It relates to the levy of special taxes bv counties and gives them local option in taxation for school purposes, provid ing such levy is submitted to a vote of property owners or taxpayers. Dr. Cunningham of Jefferson sent for ward an amendment, which seek to strike out that part of the section re lating to a vote of taxpayers. He is a member of the Taxation Committee, but said that he and other members of the committee reserved the right to op pose it. He said it was against the principle of the Democratic party. Mr. Browne defended the committee report, and read a letter from Louisi ana, where such a law is in operation. He criticised newspapers which parad ed the small amount of money appro priated by Alabama for schools and said the State appropriated more for the schools in proportion to tax values than Georgia. Mr. Browne was speaking when the Convention, at 5 o'clock, adjourned. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Bodies Lay With Twisted and Tangled Limbs “Like a Nest of Snakes.” Chicago. July 1.—Crowded together In a little zinc-lined shanty under a North Shore pier, ten boys and young men and one old man met instant death by light- j ning today. They had left their fish lines and sought shelter from the tierce thun derstorm that deluged the northern part of the city about 1 o'clock. Ten minutes later their bodies lay with twisted and tangled limbs “like a nest of snakes." as the men who found them said. Twelve vear-old Willie Anderson was uninjured, but he lay many long minutes before he could be drawn out from under the heap of bodies. The dead are all from the families of comparatively poor people and comprised two men who were fishing and seeking relief from the heat of the day. Joined by a number of boys who had come to wade and swim. There were thirteen men and boys on the pier. They rushed for the only avail able shelter and crowded themselves In through the little trap door In the top of the cabin until they were packed al most to a point of suffocation. Then came the thunderbolt. Percy Kean, a small boy, clad In bathing trunks and watching from the water sta tion, thought he heard a scream as the bolt struck. Mindless of the storm, he rushed across the beach. At the pier he heard a cry, “Help! Get me out!” He looked into the cabin and in dismay saw the twisted bodies. Young Percy, crying, pulled. at the dead men's arms and legs to get them away. He saw Wllle Ander son's head and part of his body, but he could not pull him out, nor could he pull the heavy bodies from on top of him. Then voung Keane telephoned to the po lice. who succeeded, after a great deal of difficulty, in reviving young Anderson and recovering the dead bodies of the others. Pingree’s Remains Arrive. New York. July 1.—The remains of former Governor H. S. Pingree of Michigan, arrived today on the steam ship Zealand. With the body came H. S. Pingree, Jr.,'who accompanied his father to England. The body will be taken from the ship tomorrow and re moved to an undertaker's shop until arrangements are made to ship it to Detroit. Frank S. Pingree, brother of the late Mr. Pingree, Mayor William M. Way bury of Detroit, and R. G. Solomon of Newark, representing the Leather Dealers' Committee, were at the dock to meet the Zealandla. Charges Filed. “Washington, July l.-e-It Is understood that charges have been filed at the Department of Justice against Judge Humphreys of Honolulu. These charges are said to grow out of the action of the Judge in certain matters that came up before him. PRESIDENT IS PLEASED Hon. John B.' Knox En dorses Suffrage Article SAYS c IE PLAN IS GOOD Declared hat Objections of Minor, 2 Recommend It. 94 Document Dt C .Wot, in Hi* Opinion, Conflict with Federal Constitu tion end Withholds Franchise from majority of Hefroes. i _ When Hon. John B. Knox, President of the Constitutional Convention, was asked yesterday for his views upon the report of the Committee on Suffrage and Elections, which was presented to the Convention Saturday he said: "1 am very much pleased with the report of the Committee. It provides a temporary as well as a permanent plan of registration. Prior to January 1st. 1903, the following, when properly registered, are entitled to vote as long as they live, provided they annually pay a poll tax of one and one-half dol lars: "First—All who honorably served In the land or naval forces of the United States or the Confederate States. "Second—The lawful descendants of such persons. “Third—All persons of good charac ter who understand the duties and ob ligations of citisenship under a Repub lican form of government. “The Committee consists of twenty five members, and the report Is unani mous with the exception of four mem bers, who filed a lengthy minority re port. The main objection urged by the minority to the majority report seems to be that the provision recommended by the majority report may operate to withhold the right of suffrage from a considerable number of negroes. In- i stead of being an objection to the plan, in my judgment this is its chief recom U1CUU* IIUII. "In the matter of suffrage, the State ia sovereign, and may confer it upon or withhold it from any citiaens it chooses, except that no discrimination shall be made against any person on account o^ his race, color or previous condition of servitude. Concerning the right to vote on soldiers and their de scendants who fought the battles of the State is not a discrimination against aAy class on account of race, oolpr or previous condition of servitude nor can this objection be made to that clause of the plan which confers the right to vote upon all persons of good charac ter who understand the duties and ob ligations of cittxensblp under a Re publican form of government. Is Within Federal Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States has several times decided that neither the Fourteenth nor the Fif teenth Amendmnts confers any right to vote. The right of suffrage is not affected by the Fourteenth Amend ment. and the Fifteenth Amendment merely limits the right of the State to discriminate against any person on account of race, color or previous con dition of servitude. Such is the de cision of the Supreme Court of the United States In the cases of Minor vs. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162, United States vs. Crulkshank, 92 U. S. 565, U. S. vs. Reese. 92 U. S. 214. In the Crulkshank case, supra, the Supreme Court of the United States says: "In Minor vs. Happersett, we decided that the Constitution of the United States has not conferred the right of suffrage upon anyone, and that the United States have no voters of their own creation in the States, in United States vs. Reese, we held the Fifteenth American has Invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right, which is exemption from dit crimination In the exercise of the elective franchise on ac count of race, color or previous condi tion of servitude. The right of ex emption from the prohibited discrim ination comes from the United States." To the provision of our Constitution as reported by the Suffrage Committee, the language of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Wil liams vs. Mississippi. (170 U. 8. 11), strictly applies. In that case the court says: “The operation of the Constitu tion and the law is not limited by their language or effect to one race." After the 1st of January. 1903, no one who failed to register under the above provision can vote unless he be able to read and write any article of the Con stitution of the United States in the English language, or own property of the assessed value of *300, or own, In his own right, foity acres of land sit uated in the State, upon' which he re sides. Here again it is evident that there Is no discrimination against any one on account of his race, color or previous condition of servitude. All citizens are placed upon the same basis, and the noble incentive is offered to the young and rising generation to acquire the elements at least of a common school education. WILL MAKE A RUSH. Company Forme3 to Claim Homes in the New Territory. Denison, Tex., July 1—A company of Texas. Indian Territory an Oklahoma men has been formed to make a rush for the Kiowa and Comanche country when It is opened to settlement and these men will make a run for homes. They have employ ed Hon. Richard Morgan of Perry. Okla homa. as counsel and it necessary will fight their case in the courts.

Decision, in Arch W’s Case. Hartford, Conn., July 1.—Secretary Goucher, of the Board of Review of the National Trotting Association to day made public the decision in the case of the National Trotting Associa tion against S. P. Gilbert. Selma. Ala.; J. H B McAdams, Pulaski. Tenn.; Henrv Wilson, Prattville. Ala.; Varfee Nuckols, Glenvtlle, O., and the Chest nut gelding* Arch W.

It Is ordered that each of the parties named be suspended until the amount of unlawful winnings re ceived are returned for re-dlstrlbution and that the- horse Arch W. be sus pended until the entire amount of un lawful winnings, 21.250, are returned for re-dlstrlbution. and that S.

SPARKS IS CAPTURED Kegro Who Killed Jack Ingersol at Phoenix City is Taken by Posse. Columbus. Oa., July 1.—(Special.)—C. H. Sparks, a negro wanted on the charge of murdering Jack Ingersol, the Phenlx City negro contractor, a dav or two ago, was captured fourteen mllee south of Cusseta this afternoon by a posse of officers. Through the sld of a negro, who had Sparks's confidence, the officers were en abled to surround the fugitive. Sparks fought until the last and fired one shot, which luckily went wild. The officers quickly disarmed him and no blood was shed. Sparks confessed his name, but denied the crlmo- It is thought that the negro will be hurried to the tail at Opelika, the county seat of Lee County, Alabama, In which the killing was committed, as early as possible. The officers did not make their rap ture In time to catch this afternoon's train from Cusseta to Columbus. The Columbus authorities do not want the negro on their hands, and if he Is placed in the Phenlx City Jail he is morally cer tain to be lynched. It had been openly talked In Phenlx City that If the capture was made both the school-teacher and Ingersol’s wife, who la under arrest for complicity In the crime, would be hanged by the same rape to a tree In front of the dead man's house. The woman haa been carried to the Opelika Jail, however. It Is possible that the ofTlcers having Sparks In charge may hurry him around to Opelika by way of Montgomery rather than risk passing through Phenlx City. MAUL RUSSELL’S TRIAL.

At 3:10 p. in. the thermometer at the weather office reached 88 degrees, one degree hotter than yesterday. The records ahow that on only two days in the last thirty years has a higher temperature been reached. These were July 8, 1876, and July 3, 1888. On these days the ther mometer reached 88 degrees. The per centage of humidity toaay was only 48. The suffering in the city, particularly in the crowded tenement house district, was most intense. As the day grew the deaths and prostrations increased, and although provision was made in all the hospitals for this emergency, the au thorities were scarcely able to cope with the great tax made on their re sources.

From midnight last night to 8 o'clock tonight 21 deaths and 36 prostrations had been reported In Brooklyn.

Many thermometers register ed 108 at 3:10 and all of them over 100 on the street level. If the heat was killing on mankind. It was worse on the horses. They dropped right and left. At one time there were eight dead horses lying on Broadway between 23rd Street and 42nd Street. There were fourteen horses prostrated in the vicinity of Madison Square alone.

I THE NEW BOAT IS DEFEA Tbc Columbia Outsails the Constitution. m VICTORY THROUGH FLUKB _ HereshofTs Latest the Victim of an Accident 1 Result of the Contest Wu far ffosg Conclusive, However, as Hany j Points are Tat to Bo Decided. Newport. R. I., July L-Tha Const* tutlnn was defeated by the Columbia today by the small margin of sixty* seconds in the first real race in which the new Herasheft yacht has particle pated. Although the contest from start to finish was cloae and at tlnrji exciting, in the opinion of a majority of yachtsmen in Newport tonight. th» Constitution lost through misfortune. However, the result of today's contest is far from conclusive, and there la still much to be decided as to the rela tive merits of the two racers. The mishap to the new boat cam* about an hour after the start. WhU* the boats were on the second long tack to windward, the dew of the Jib of tho new boat was carried away, and for some ten minutes she was without thb use of that sail. This accident set the Constitution back practically a mtlq, but In spite of It she was able to get within two minutes of the Columbia at the turn, and cut this lead down more than half on the home run. Soma of this gain, howeier, was undoubtedly due to the fact that she came np la the better wind. The Columbia did not escape without accident, for Inmw dlately after erosslng the finish line. In gibing over the big main sail, hell main boom buckled, and she had to ba towed to the city. It will be neces sary to sling a new spar before the Columbia can race egahi, but it Is ex pected It wit! be in place for a race Wednesday. Fifteen miles dead to windward and back was the course signalled. Tho starting signal sent the Columbia off at 11:40:14, well to windward, and three seconds in advance. The Constitution^ with a rare burst of speed came ott with a rush and ran through the C4 tumbles' lee. pointing for a much high* f er position than was expected of her. 5 11 The Constitution by a large margin footed faeter than the Columbia. But while the new boat wae going along' swift as the wind, she had not the grip on the water that the other craft had. Along on the starboard tack, the two yacht* sailed, both Jogging at an eight knot gait. The Constitution would not stand up as well as her rival by at least three degrees. After the boats tacked to port th« luff of the Constitution's big jig began to shake. The pennant or the sheet It self had evidently been carried away. Down came the Jib halyards, while a doxen men climbed out on the bow sprit to gather in the slack at the foot of the sail so ss to smother the flowing duck. For over ten minutes the Con stitution, on that close-hauled stretch, was without the benefit of her Jib. Co lumbia all that time was pointing high er and footing faster. When the sail was In plsce again the Constitution rapidly forged ahead, making up much of her leeway. It was. however, too big a gap to fill. The time at the outer mark was: Cci^ lumbia 1:24:55; Constitution 1:26-56. Thus on the beat to windward tho Columbia defeated her opponent nearly two minutes. In the run before the wind, the Con stitution gained. With sheets eased off she Is faster than Columbia. The t.m* at the finulsh were: Columbia 2:32:31; Constitution 2:33:26. Thus over the course of fifteen miles to windward and back, the elapsed time of Columbia was 2:52:04. whilQ that of the Constitution was 2:52:52. GAMBLERS ARRAIGNED.

Her manner of re fusing them was characteristic of her. 8h* is when he began his pursuit. He wins a big. square-jawed lawyer, successful in most of his cases, and he made- u-johls mind to win her if it were hiim.inly—man-humanly possible. His friends predicted defeat: his enemies, of whom there were many, laughed at him. .The women wished him godspeed, but" predoomed him to failure. He could »>ot say. after six months of asstdtioi,|s courtship that he had made an- dec-ideal progress. The gtfl was affa-.e. apiwuently giad to see him when he came, .certainly no whit disturbed when he w»etit away, gentle maunered. entertaining and cold.

How ever. faint heart never won. etc., and here's for another go at\the citadel.” Miss Ellerby was talking to her very dearest friend. Miss Norman, when she said tentatively: "You know, my dear, that X shall never marry." The other merely looked as one who had heard It before, and wras noncom mittal. "I shall not marry for treasons well known to you. Unfortunately one can not put these reasons as an adver tisement Into the morning paper, though I would like to. 1 nave been bothered a good deal by the men and shall likely be bothered moi** because they are stubborn creatures. Many or them X care nothing about, because they soon get over a disappointment, but others of them fed moo«e deeply, and X hate to give pain. There is one In nay mind now who will he badly hurt, but I cannot help it.” Miss Norman looked at her gravely, and said: "Dick Haven. I presume.” "Yes." 1 "Oh. well, I am satisfied he will make a quick recover#. He is big enough and strong enough, you know. You must not take all of his passion for genuine. He used to be noted as an amateur actor and much of it Is Simula ter. He is too level-headed to put has all upon any cast." Miss Ellerby did not like the inti mation that her pursuer was halt-sin cere but she only remarked in a brisk manner: "Well. I can't break the rule ot a life time for him," and went her way. which was the way of an automobile party, for the afternoon. About that time Dick Haven was striding up and down the rooms of his friend. Arthur Pym Jackson, a young minister of the Protestant Epis copal Church, who ran a good deal to boxing gloves, foils.

Howell, when seen in his cell, said that he and the woman had been to a dance. When they came home they were lounging about the room and the woman robbed him of something over $10. He remonstrated with her about the theft and she and another negress attacked him. Howell says Pheney Smith had a knife and he pulled his pistol.

Unimportant Meeting1 Was Held Yesterday. The Board Mf Revenue held a iegu lu whin "TVlaTliM.r Except the had been sparring, and hia hair was rumpled aa he swung one arm savagely up and down, and Raid: "I’ve got to have her. Pym; I tell you I’ve Just got to have her. I’m standing with one foot over the In sanity line right now, and I don't want tn drag the after after it." "Well." said the divine, between ruffs of clgn- smoky, "l£ you’ve got to have her why don’t you take her?” "Do what?" "Take her!" c "Take her?" “Yes. take her!" "Her? Her?” "Yes. her.” "Pym," said Haven, staring at him. "you’re a good fellow. You spar well; you are a cnckerjack with the eleek, 1 don’t know anybody whom I would rather row with, sail with or tramp across country wish; but you've got me drawback as a companion, and a' minister; you ought to have some sense.” "Not at all: not at all,” waa the placid response. "You’re the one who lacks gray matter. Distent" He sat upright and suffered his cigar to lie idle tn his fingers. "You want to marry Miss Hllerby; she doeBn’t want to marry jsou. or thinks she doesn’t. Bear in mmd that X know a good deal about herr. more, certainly than she knows about her self. She plays the organ at my church. I’ve talked with her oftyn and watched her oftener. She is of tfce musical tem perament. Unknown to herself, deep in her nature are springs of seintiment that have not reached the ^surface. They want only some one to bp?ak the curst over them. I tell you that no woman of tht* musical temperament in all its strength Is safe from any man of decent appearance who hae made love to her and wants her badly enough to assert his rights. The musi cal woman needs the male nr rotund out and perfect her understanding of mu sic. Ask Miss Ellerby to rmfrry you and you will get a plain no for an ans wer. Tell her that you are going to marry her and refuse to listen to a negative and she is yours. There never was a simpler thing1—a thing more ab surdly simple. I'm sorry that I told you of it. because you never would have seen it for yourself: ytsu will be a married man In less than stx months anil I would a good deal rathar have you a bachelor." Haven’s square Jaw was set when he left his friend’s apnrtments. "He told the truth.” he 'muttered. “It Is absurdly simple, and If, it fails I shall be none the worse off. She can only say ‘no’ after ail. and thn form in which she says It matters IlttBe.” He found Miss Ellerby at heme that evening, and 1» his left-har*l waist coat pocket was a ring, set wlfch a sin gle diamond. He walked sturdily to her side as she rose to greet Shim, and took her left hand. "You know that I love you."’ he said gently, “and. as we are to be married. I have brought your engagement ring.” In another second the ring; was on her finger. Then he took both of her hands. »he looked at him, them at the ring, in a dazed fashion. He sflipped an arm about her waist, drew har to him. and held her firmly. Laying his cheek against hers, he whispered: "It Is better so. is it not. sweet heart?” Miss Ellerby struggled faintly in st lenee. A hundred emotions went through her. They were so swift that she could not classify them. Shame, anger, a temptation to laugh, half a desire to cry were among them. She tried to hold her head. erect, but some maggietism seemed to draw it downward toward the man’s shoulder. Again she struggled, and the head sank lower. Perhaps her strongest sensa tion was astonishment at herself—her heart beat so. and overmastermg lassi tude was In every vein, and her head, despite her will, sank lower and lower. It rested finally. Then Haven took her chin in a broad palm, tilted it up, and kissed her full on the lips.

Accused of Hawing Em bended f 10, 000 of the Institution's Funds. Surrendered Himself. Miners Vote. Birmingham, July 1.—(Special.)— Burgess Little. formerly cashier or the Shelby County Bank fct Montevallo, which suspended some weeks ago, was arrested here this afternoon on a war rant chaining him v^lth embessiement OI tiO.OOu from the bank. It appears that Deputy United States Marshal Nick Vaughan' had. served a writ of ne exit upon LitU? at Blocton and Llt tle accompanied. that officer to this city In orner to make band for bis ap pearance in tty. bankruptcy hearing of the hank on July 10th. Little gave bond in this -case in the sum of $260. A little later lye learned that Sheriff Bur gin had a v/arrant for hie arrest In the charge et embessiement and he pro ceeded ht. onoe to the Sheriffs office and surrendered. JHLe was then formal ly Plargici under arrest. Mr. Little was acconshanked by his attorney, former Attoigiey General W. C. Fitts. When asked for.a statement Mr. Little said: “I leave nothing to say exeept that I am here of my own volition." Innulry at the Sheriffs office failed to reveal tha identity of the person wfco swore oigt the warrant against Mr. Little and t c.e officials were very uncommunlca ove on the suhject. It Is believed that the warrant was sworn out by ow of the depositors In the defunct ban!?’and was sent here for service either from Bibb ar Shelby County, it is Intimated that the bankruptcy hearing wbloh oc curs on the 16th may be followed by some interesting developments in the case. Later Little gave bond and was released. Miners' Kws Meeting. Mass meetings were held at the va rious mining camps today to vote on the pro portion to renew last year's wage scale with the provision added that there shall toe arbitration in In stances where new conditions have arisen. The miners at fratt Mines, where is located the largest looal min ers’ union In the world, voted to sign the swale on these terms. Brookslde and Patterson's mines also approved •the agreement. So lar as has been heard none of the mines have rejected It and no doubt Is felt that when the flMners' State Convention reassembles (tomorrow the delegatee will come prac tically as a body Instructed to sign up rthe scale as agreed upon Saturday night toy the miners' convention and the op erators. It Is probable that there will toe little or no work at the mines this week on account of the usual Fourth of July holidays, but bw next week ev ery mine which has heretofore been in operation will be at work with it* usual force. Much gratification is felt throughout the district over favorable outcome of the wage adjustment. The rolling mills which have Jugt signed up with the Amalgamated As sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work er*. will go Into full operation again next Mo-day. Like the miners, the rolling mill workers are taking it easy this weak. Death of a Drummer. C. W. Jacobs, a well known drumme from Nashville, suffered a stroke of apoplexy at the Morris otel last night He was removed to the Hiliman H03 pital today and his family telegraphed for. Jacobs died at 4 o'clock this af ternoon. Mot Yet tn Force. The lower Insurance rate for this city, which was expected to go into operation this day, hag not yet been put in force. This is because of the delay in Installing the additional fire fighting equipment which the city was required to put in in order to secure the benefit of the reduction. Mayor IJrennen stated today that the nqw apparatus would not be installed for fl.fteen days or more yet. This is on acoount of the Inability of the manu facturers to fill the order within the time required. Fire at Ensley.

Teeterday the U^tle Xoatt Pasted tbe at the Louisville Utd NaehviUe—Conjecture, as to ’Future. Advertiser Bureau, ■alma, July 1. The decision of the Supreme Court ae published In last Sunday's Adver tiser. which was against the B. S. and N- O. in the matter of the celebrated Smith's creasing, has caused a great deal of comment here. The B. S. and N. O. today passed Into the hands of the Louisville amt Nashville, and the question is being asked on all aides now, whether the Southern will at tempt to pull up the crossing, since the Httle road has fallen Into the hands of the .powerful L. A N.? It Is a well known fact here that the Southern allowed the Louisville and Nashville the privilege of crossing Its track near the old Franklin warehouse for the sum of $800. That Is near the point where the now L. A N. bridge la:being built across the Alabama river, over which the Pensacola Division will enter the city. It to the concensus of opinion that the Southern will go mighty Blow about taking up the cross ing at Smith's Btatlon, since Its pow erful rival, ths L. A N. has secured possession of the short line out of Sel ma, for that road has the sinews of war to fight the matter In the courts, which the B. B. A N. O. did not have under lie original ownership. Then, again, it is rumored that the L. A N. and the Southern are not as bitter en emies as they once were, and that the officials of the two roads are holding a conference today and the matter of the crossing at Smith's Station maty be settled amicably before night. At nny rate, it can be stated with almost absolute certainty that the Southern does not Intend to pull up the crossing as It has done several times, and that the local traffic between here and the terminus of the road will not be Inter rupted. for the present at least. The ground of the decision against the B. S. A N. O. was. that ,a jury had t ot assc3.ei the damages occurring to the Southern bv the crossing. V the cross ing Is pulled up by the Southern It can be put back again as soon as the Jury assesses the damages end the Southern would only achieve a temporary vic tory by pursuing Its old tacttcs of tak ing out the crossing, and as the B. S. A N. O. has given bond for damages the L. A N. could sue the South srn for the damages done It by taking out the crossing end the expense of the law suit would be added to the olbBr expenses. Then Again, there are a whole lot of rumors afloat about the L. and N.. coming Into town and building a pas senger and freight depot on the present sit* of Melvin A Erhart'a warehouse. Borne time ago the street ca.- people stopped work on Jones Street. It Is said that the B. S. and N. O. win turn down Valley Creek Juet this side of that stream, circle round Magnolia Cemetery and come down Jones Street between the old Court House and Mr. C. C. Grayson's residence, thance mi down to Jt*lVln and Kidierfe sure The Western Ruilroaa and the Pen sacola Division of the Jj. and N. will come right up Water Fhreet to the rite -of the supposed depot, so It Is said. There are still other tumors that the ■shore for the L. and N., the round house and the cottages for the machln lus for the B. H. and N. Division, the Pensacola Division and the West ern Alabama Division will all be lo cated on the lands purchased by Col. Abbott from the Feather stone estate, and which lie betwen I be Alabama River and Magnolia Cemetery, and popularly known as Rlvervlew. These arc more rumors, however. and are given'for what they are w^rth but there is 'omethlng In the air, and It will crop out In the neat slaty or ninety days. In the meantime Selin 1 ins are just bolding their breath and waiting to Bee what is going to happen. On Saturday night about 12 o’clock, as a southbound Southern train was pulling out for Meridian, It ran over and killed an old negro named Sam Boston near the Estellff Cotton Mills. He was In the city on Saturday after noon lats and was drinking some. It Is rumored that he had a fuss with a negro while in the city, and this leads to a suspicion of foul play. He may have been murdered and placed on the track. In order to cover up the crime. The negro's head was crushed »nd he was dragged along the track for a distance of ninety-live yards before he fell loose from the wheels. Brains and pieces of flesh were sticking to the rati for the whole distance that be was dragged. A part of bis skull was found on one side of the track, while one of his hands was found on the other side of the traok. In the ditch, being thrown a distance of several feet from the rati. The body was net discovered until next morning, and It cannot be told whether there was foul play or whether the old negro was overcome by heat and liquor and sat down on the gtde of the track to rest. An undertaker was sent out and the scattered parts of the body were gotten together for In terment. Justice Lloyd was nonfled to go out and hold an Inquest, but the body had been pla-ed In a coffin and was on the way to the city, and he did not hold the Inquest on that account. The railroad paid the expenses of gathering up the body of the old negro and giving It a decent burial. The following facts about the Sum merftald Methodist Orphans’ Home will be read with interest: The flr;t child was admitted to the Home or Sept. 5th, 1S90. There have been admitted to date 2S7 children. The remarkable healthfulneaa of the home la attested by iha fact that otily three children have died alnee the home boa been opened, one In 1S93, another In 18*4 and the mat tn 1916. Not a dollar's dec tor's blU baa been paid out during the past year. There are in the home at this time seventy-eight chtWreu, and five more are expected In a tew days. Applica tion for four more are pending, but hare not been acted on. These chil dren are supported at eoat at about 16 per month, which include® board, washing, tuition, lights, fuel, etc. There Is no expense attached to tne home tn the way of salaries, eaceept_ for the matron and her assistants, school teacher and the negro help. The mu sic teacher is not paid out of |he “r* phanage fund, but her salary to paid by some benevolent ladies, one lady in Montgomery contributing Jf® to bar salary. The health of the home la perfect, and the children are happy* On June 1# the cornerstone of the new Methodist Church will be laid with imposing ceremonies. Or.

An Old Friend S. S. S. baa been before the publie for many years; from a small begin ning, it has steadily worked its way to the front, and is now known in every city, town and hamlet in the country. Its staunchest friends are those who have known it longest and have witnessed its wonderful curative powers in their own families or among their friends and acquaintances. Grateful patients in all parts of the country tell of their restoration to health and happiness, and the testimony of these is the highest evidence of the medicine’s worth. S. S. S. i more popular today than ever in its history—no other remedy stands so high, has ever given such perfect satisfaction or is so reliable in the cure of Cancer, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum, Acne, or any disease that originates in the blood. Being strictly a vegetable preparation, you will Jind it agrees with you much better than a drug store concoction or any of the widely advertised potash and mercury remedies, which affect the bones, muscles and stomach, causing Rheumatism or Dyspepsia. If *ou Don't Ex. oeriment- have never tried S. S. S., you will be surprised at the immediate good effects, for no sooner does it get into the circulation than the appetite increases; you grow stronger, and gradually but surely it drives out the poisons and restores the blood to a healthy condition. If there is a sore or ulcer on the body, it begins to heal around the edges, the dis charge finally ceases and the place gets well; muscular and bone pains vanish, and the skin is relieved of all itching, irritating eruptions. Nervous, run down and anaemic people will find S. S. S. just the medicine they need, for blood poverty and illy nourished nerves are responsible for their condition. For old people and children S. S. S. has no equal; being free from all minerals, it does not nauseate or have any injurious effect whatever, and keeps the blood in good condition, thus fortifying against disease. Experience teaches what is good and what is not good; this applies particularly to meaicine, and S. S. S., a remedy that has retained the confidence of the people for nearly 50 years, must have merit—IT CUhas, is the secret of its success. When you call for S. S. S. don’t be persuaded to accept something else— there is no substitute for S. S. S. It is the only guaranteed purely vegetable blood purifier, and the safest and best for all blood and skin troubles. Do not let them force an inferior mineral remedy on you because there is a larger profit in it.

There were, how fvw- number of more or less disturb ing factor*, which discouraged buying, and when last week's buyers attempted to take their profits they met no de mand to absorb their offerings, and price* melted away easily on a small volume of business. The tone of the foreign markets was quite cheerful and the ocaslon of some opening advances The pssstng of the semi-annual settlement day at Berlin without a hitch was a great relief to all the foreign mar kets and heavy disbursements of Gov ernment Interests In London made money and discounts easy there, but the market here had to face the action of the Amal gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers In Inaugurating a strike In the steel trade. Officers of the United Stktes Steel Corporation professed to belittle ths effects of the strike, but Its effects were manifest upon the price of the company's stocks nevertheless. The Independent steel companies were also weak. United states Steel, both common and preferred, lost 111 and Colorado Fuel and Tennes see Coal about 3 each. The expected divi dend action on United States Steel to morrow was also a factor In the situa tion. the bears trying to discredit rumors that the common stock would be placed on a 4 per centum dividend basis. Fears of damage to the corn crop from drought In Missouri. Kansas and Texas especially depressed the com-carrylng Grangers, which were more vulnerable by reason of laat week's strength. The decline reached 314 In St. Paul. 3 In Rock Island. Zbi In II ;lfi« Unols Central. Zbi In Union Pacific and Tagas and Pacific and 2 In Atchison pre ferred. The hand of the bears was mani fest In the circulation of some alarmist rumors early In the day to the effect that the Clearing House Committee was In consultation over the affairs of some of the Clearing House Institutions. There was certainly no such consultation and there were emphatic denials of any thought or Intention or necessity of such a consultation, but the effect produced by the rumors showed that last week's failures have left the speculative mind In an Impressionable state. There Is good ground for the supposition that last week's episode has prompted some over hauling of collateral for bank loans and has Induced a rather stringent caution on the part of the banks In the certifi cation of checks. It must follow that business by Stock Exchange houses Is conducted with somewhat less facility than when the machinery of credit was entirely untrammeled. There Is nothing to show that any further ground than this exists for the rumors circulated of financial troubles. The fierce heat had Its effects on the trading, as It had on all other kinds of human activity. There was notable otrength In the Iowa Cen tral stock, and In the New York, Chica go and St. Louts stocks, the gains extend ing to about points. Most of the active stocks were off a point or more diirtng the day and the closing was heavy and dull. There was little doing In railroad bonds, but prices yielded In sympathy with stocks. Total sales (par value), $1,800,000 United Staes bonds were unchanged or the first call. Honey and Exchange. NEW YORK.

I MARKET FOR FUTURES BULLS TOOK THE MARKET BY THE HORNS. From Start to Finish the Atttitude of the Shorts Wes Denfensive Rather Then Offensive. Close Easy. NEW YORK, July 1.—Cotton prices to day returned to the high level reached on the bulge of a week ago. Nearly every factor lined up on the bull side and from start to finish the attitude of shorts was defensive rather than offensive. The market opened Arm at 10fgl4 points high er on very active buying for both acounta. The upward movement continued until August touched 8.06, October 7.69 and January 7.74, when there was a turn for profits and brisk selling by the room for a turn. Early In the afternoon there was a sharp reaction to 7.57 for October and to 7.42 for January under talk of rains In Texas and rumors that the South was preparing to sell In our market and later deliver the cotton. But an official fore cast from Washington for continued dry weather generally tonight and tomorrow In Texas, once more started shorts on the retreat and prompted liberal buying all along the line.1 The dominating Influ ence here was an advance of 77T7V4 points at Liverpool. The bulls were encouraged by the special report of The Journal of Commerce showing the present crop con dition to be but 77 per cent, of perfect, as against *1.6 last month. Ravages by boll weevil, cut worms, sharpshooters and other Insects In the Southwest were said to be reaching alarming proportions. The South Atlantic States complained of fur ther soaking rains, scarcity of labor find a very backward condition. Near the close a hasty turn for profits caused Srices to settle rapidly. The market was nally easy with prices net SSO points higher. Local Cotton Market.

Developments were of a sensational character in the market for contracts. The consensus of opinion among con servative operators Saturday evening had led them to look for a mildly lower range of prices at first call today, but when Liverpool opened the ball with gains of l-32d on 8pots and 3-64(®4-64d on deliveries and continued her upward course until the net gains for the day on contracts had been pegged at 6-64@8-64d local traders became somewhat excited and rushed prices up 174 Oats No. 2.
