THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD. VOL. 29 BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1902 ^O. 72 ..._ .i-_ ~j LIFE OF ADVENTURE ENDS WITH SUICIDE MINERS WILL FOLLOW ADVICE OF MITCHELL James Younger, Famous as a Member of Jesse James' Gang, Sboots Himself WANTED NO CROCODILE TEARS FROM RELATIVES Noted Bandit Has Led Exemplary Life Since Release from Prison, and His Action is Said to be ,!j Result of Love Affair St. Paul, Minn., October 19.—James Younger, formerly a member of the no torious James band of outlaws which in fested the western country a quarter of a century ago, committed suicide today by shooting himself. On a bureau in the room was found a long Manila en velope on one side of which was writ ten: “To all that Is good and true I love and bid farewell. “JIM YOUNGER.” On the other side of the envelope were these words: “Oh, lassie, goodbye. “All relatives just stay away from me. No crocodile tears wanted. “Reporters, be my friend. Burn me up. “JIM YOUNGER.” The envelope contained a package of letters that had passed between Younge* and a lady with whom he is said to have been much In love. The lady who is prom inently connected, is said to have recipro cated his affections and it was reported at one time that they were to be mar ried. The lady’s relatives raised strenuous objections to the wedding and a further obstacle was the fact that a paroled pris oner could not legally contract a mar riage. The couple determined to disre gard the objections of relatives and an effort was made to overcome the ob stacles to their marriage, by securing from the state board of pardons a full pardon and restroation to citizenship. This effort failed, and this it is thought had much to do with Younger’s determin ation to end hip llfo. The lady is said to be now in Boise, Idaho, for her health. On another sheet of paper Younger had written this message, evidently his last words before committing suicide: “October 18. Last night on earth. So good bye lassie, for I still think of thee. Forgive me, for this is my only chnnce. I have done nothing wrong. But politics is all that VanZant. Wolfe and others of their stripe care for. Let the people judge. Treat me right and fair, re porters, for I am a square man. A socialist and decidedly In favor of wom an’s rights. “Bryan is the brightest man these United States has ever produced. His one mistake was In not coming out for the people and absolute socialism. Come out Bryan. There is no such thing as a personal God. God is universal and I know him well and am not afraid.” The suicide is supposed to have occur ed about 8 o’clock this morning. Younger occupied a room in a down town block and when he did not make his appear ance as usual today a search w’as made for him. Dead Body Found. About 5 o’clock this afternoon the door of his room wras broken in and his dead body found stretched on tne floor beside the bed. a revolver clutched in his right hand. He had shot himself through the head and evidently had been dead for sev eral hours. Younger, since his parole from the state penitentiary in July of last year, had led an exemplary life. His first em ployment was as traveling agent for a tombstone dealer, and on one of his trips he was quite seriously hurt by a fall from a wagon. Old wounds he had received earlier in life also gave him much trou ble and although he soon obtained lighter employment, his health was pre carious and this caused him much wor ry. He was 54 years of age. James Younger was the youngest of three brothers, Robert. Coleman and James Younger, who between the years of 1866 and 1873 gained graet notoriety through their association with Jesse and Frank James. The band, headed by Jesse James, was charged with innumerable robberies of banks and railroad trains, in the execution of winch many desper ate encounters took place and a number of men were killed. The band had served through the civil war fighting on the side of the Confederacy with Quantrell and his guerillas. Northfield Bank Robbery. The scene of most of their alleged post helium depredations was the state of Mis souri and those states adjacent there to, but in September, 1876, tne hand en tered Minnesota traversing the state as far as the little town of Northfield, In Rice county. There on Septimber 7, af ter terrorizing the people on the street an attempt was made to loot the First National hank. Cashier J. L. Heywood, who wAs In charge of the hank, made a plucky fight and was shot and killed but not however, until he had wounded one nr more of the raiders. The citizens of Northfield quickly recovering from their panic, armed themselves and started in pursuit of the desperados, who had mounted their horses and were attempt ing to escape. A weea was spent In their desperate retreat, the pursuing posse of citizens time and again coming Into contact with the bandits and ex changing shots with them. The raiders were handicaped In their retreat by the wounded, whom they were endeavoring to onrry along with them and finally in a thick wood, the posses succeeded in surrounding them. A battle ensued In which three of the members of the gang were killed and the three Younger broth ers were captured. Jesse James and the remainder of the outlaws succeeded In making their escape. All of the Younger brothers had heen wounded In the series of battles that had marked tVddr retreat and on this day carry the bullets fired at them by the citizens. The prisoners on November 21. 1876 pleaded guilty to the charge of tnurder In the first degree and were sen tenced to the Stillwater penitentiary to feerve a life sentence. Efforts for a Pardon. In 1889 an effort was made to secure an ■'unconditional pardon for them, it being '.pleaded in support of this effort that It had not been proved that either of the brothers had fired the shot that killed ENGLISHMEN SLAUGHTERED BY AFRICAN NATIVES LONDON, October 19.—The foreign office has issued an undated dis patch from Colonel Cobbs, com manding one of the columns of British forces operating against the Mad Mullah In Somaliland. The British forces en gaged were composed entirely of native troops and levies. Colonel Cobbs' dis patch says: "My force reached Errgo this morning. When about one day's march north of Mudug It was attacked In the thick bush. Two advances were made and the enemy was beaten back In the morning. Their losses were heavy and we captured 100 rifles. Our force then proceeded to col lect animals for transportation purposes and to Join the detachment at the stock ade. camp. In the afternoon a recon nalsance was made and after sharp fighting the enemy was again driven oft. “I deeply regret to report the following casualties: “Colonel Philips and Captain Angue and fifty men killed and about one hun dred men wounded. The latter includes Captain Howard and Lieutenant Everett, but both are doing well. Tnere were se vere losses among the transport and riding animals. The force will reach the stockade camp tomorrow and will advance to attack the enemy.” The vice consul also telegraphs the substance of a later dispatch from Col onel Swayne, who says that as a result of the fighting at Erego October 6, which was very severe, the Somali levies are considerably shaken. The Mullah, who is said to be in communication with Kail and Inger in the direction of the Webb river, is bringing reinforcements from all sides. Colonel Swayne has asked that six hundred further reliable troops be dis patched from Berbern forthwith. MR. GAY FILLS OUT HIS TICKET AS PART OF CAMPAIGN LITERA TURE HE PRESENTS A STATE MAP SHOWING DRY COUNTIES AND ONES WITH DISPENSARIES Montgomery, October 19.—(Special.)— The Rev. William D. Gay, who Is run ning as a prohibition candidate for gov ernor, did not get his petition into the office of the secretary of state in time to secure a place for his name on the offi cial ballot, but he will run the race through just the same, trusting to the prohibitionists to write out their ticket in full. Under the law any voter can write out any name he chooses and mark it. Mr. Gay after numerous failures in a search for candidates who would go on the ticket with him, has at last found a full roster as follows: Lieutenant governor, C. J. Hammett of Kinsey; secretary of state, T. E>. Witherspoon of Gadsden; treasurer, R. O. Simpson of Furman; commissioner of ag riculture, C. D. A1 verson of Lincoln; auditor, J. B. Albritton of Eunola; .%Ur. perintendent of Education, O. E. Com stock of Sheffield; attorney general, H. H. Blackman of Enterprise. As a part of his campaign literature Mr. Gay is circulating a map of the state marked so as to show the counties with prohibition, with dispensaries and with saloons. This exhibit shows that twenty counties, Franklin, Marion, Lamar, Hale Green, Sumter, Choctaw, Clarke, Wash ington, Monroe, Cpnecuh, Escambia, Chilton, Autauga, Clay, St. Clair, Cher okee, DeKalb, Marshall and Jackson now have total prohibition. Nine counties, Limestone, Cleburne, Chambers, Bullock, Pike, Dale, Coffee, W'ilcox and Bibb have county dispensaries. All the others either have the saloon or municipal dispensa ries. Cashier Heywood, and a further plea for mercy was based on the ground that Bob Younger was dying of consumption. Su perintendent of the census bureau, Wil liam R. Merrlam, who then occupied the gubernatoritl chair, refused to accede to the request and shortly after this Rob ert Younger died in prison. Frequent attempts were made to secure pardons tor the remaining brothers, the petition being signed by leading men both In this state and Missouri. Among those who made especial efforts to secure the granting of a pardon was Senator Stephen L. Elkins of West Virginia, who it is said, had known the brothers in the days before the war. It is also related that the senator's life was saved during the civil war through the efforts of Col onel Younger. Elkins had been captured by Quantrell’s guerillas and had been sentenced to be shot, but Younger con nived at his escape from the gang and succeeded in restoring him to his regi ment. All efforts at securing an unconditional pardon having failed, a bill was intro duced in the state legislature in 1901 em powering the state board of pardons to grant paroles to life prisoners who had served twenty-five years or more. The bill was hard fought but finally passed both branches of the legislature and was sent to Governor Van Zant for his signa ture. The governor had three days with in which to sign or veto the bill, fail ing which the act would become a law. Before the three days had expired the house recalled the bill and did not re turn it to the governor until the time for approval had elapsed. The state pardoning board, however, of which tho chief Justice of the state is a member, decided that the bill had become a law without the signature of sov*rnoJi and upon recommendation of the board of prison commissioners a parole was granted to Coleman and James Younger and they were released.__ HEFLIN IN MARSHALL. Convincing Speech at Skirum by the Democratic Candidate. Skirum, October 19.—(Special.)—Hon. Thomas Heflin, democratic nominee for secretary of state, addressed a large and appreciative crowd at this place Friday. For three hours Mr. Heflin held the au dience "spell bound" with altogether the most strengthening political speech ever delivered to the citizens of this section. His words of encouragement to the dem ocrats were uplifting and sublime. Mr. Heflin contrasted in a very attrac tive style the political parties and their principles, and happily asBerts that the "Jubilee year" for Alabama democrats has dawned—since the negro has been disfranchised—with a Bplendor which sur passes that of any year since the war between the states.

Denver wants the next convention. CAPT. PAT GALVIN DEAD. Famous Police Officer of New Orleans. Succumbs to Heart Disease. Chicago, October 19.—Capt. Pat Galvin for several years connected with the po lice department of New Orleans, died here today at the home of his sister of fatty degeneration of the heart Galvin came Into prominence twelve years ago during the Mafia riots In New Orleans.

Wilkcsbarre. Pa., October 19.—Delegates to the anthracite mine workers conven tion which will meet here tomorrow fore noon for the purpose of accepting or re jecting the proposition of the President of the United States to end the strike and submit all grievances to the arbitra tion commission appointed by him, began arriving here today and about one quar ter of the 700 or SOO,delegates to the con vention are now in the city. Strike headquarters, w'hich had been extremely quiet since the excitement of last week, began to be lively before noon today. Many of the delegates are in structed in various features of the settle ment, but a majority of them will follow the advices and Judgment of President Mitchell. There Is nothing on the surface tonight that gives the slightest indication that the convention will not vote to send the men to work week, with the prob abilities still in favor of Thursday as the day of resumption. A noticeable thing among the delegates was their cheerful ness. It was quite evident to observers that they will be glad to get together and decide to return to work after the weary idleness of more than five months. No Fear of a Hitch. All of the delegates who were spoken to regarding the action of tomorrow’s convention appeared to nave no fear that a hitch might occur which would disar range the present peaceful trend of af fairs. A good many of the delegates say they have instructions on certain mat ters which they ifcfll place before the delegates. As already stated In these des patches, the principal question outside of the great question of accepting or reject ing President Roosevelt’s proposition will be that of strikers getting their old places. A large number of them fear that In the general rush to return to the mines some of them may fall to get work. They want some assurance from the con vention that they will be able to get the positions they occupied before the sus pension was ordered. Jt is likely this ele ment from three districts will join forces and make a concerted fight on the floor of the convention for some specific ac tion. In the face of the fact that the op erators are on record that they will not dismiss one man who stood by them dur ing the struggle, it Is going to be a ser ious problem to solve. The debate, it is believed will take up a great deal of the time of the convention which is expected to last not more than two days. Behind Closed Doors. The meeting in all likelihood will be held behind closed doors after formal organization Is effected. President Mitch ell will be elected chairman and during the first session in an opening speech to the delegates, he will lay the plan of arbitration submitted by the President of the United States before them for action. He will recommend that it be accepted and the men return to work 09 quickly aB the coal companies can provide work. National Secretary W. B. Wilson will be selected as secretary and he will have as assistants the district secretaries. The first delegates to make their ap pearance came from Bernice, a remote point in the anthracite coal field, where the small coal beds are of a semi bltumlnous character. At noon a big delegation, headed by District Secretary George Hertleln and Organizer Paul Pu laski arrived over the Central Railroad of New Jersey from the Shamokin and Schulkill regions. There were no reports of disturbances at military headquarters today from any region affected by the strike. President Mitchell had many callers today. Most of the delegates who arrived today called and paid their respects and congratulated him on the near ending of the struggle. Among Mr. Mitchell’s callers was May or Samuel Jones of Toledo, O. WILL ADJOURN TUESDAY. Convention of Miners Will Finish Their Work Quickly. Scranton, Pa., October 19.—District President Nichols of the United Mine Workers, when asked today how long the convention would probably last said he expected it would adjourn some time Tuesday. E. E. Clark of Cedar Rapids. Ia., grand chief of the Order of Railway Conduc tors, who was chosen as one of the ar bitrators of the miners' strike disputes, was here today. He said he had not yet received official notice of his selection, as he has been on the road for two weeks, but expected to find it awaiting j him when he arrives home tomorrow. Mr. Clark said he would certainly ac cept. Mr. Clark came here to amend a union meeting that had been called to discuss grievances which the Delaware, .^.ackawanna and Western railroad men seek to have redressed, but the meeting was postponed. EIGHT MEN SCALDED. Four Men Will Die as Result of a Pipe Bursting. Wheeling, W. Va„ October 19.—By the parting of a steam pipe at the Riverside plant of the National Tube Works in Benwood this afternoon eight men were scalded and three of four of them will die.

A twleve inch copper pipe supplying the blast engines with steam from the boilers broke without warning and the escaping l steam filled the room. I REBELS EXPLAIN THEIRRETREAT Had decided Thai la Victoria Was Impregnable CASTRO SUFFERED HEAVILY At One Time He Was Surrounded and Almost Out of Ammunition. Relief Train Saves Forces from Annihilation. Willemstadt, October 19.—One of the leaders of the Matos revolution in Vene zuela, who is at present in Curacao, has furnished the following details and ex planation of the retreat of the revolu tionary army from La Victoria. He says the rebels only abandoned the fight after being convinced that La Victoria was impregnable, and after President Castro had refused to come out and attack the revolutionists outside of La Victoria. ill PRESIDENT CASTRO. Twice did the revolutionary general at tempt to force President Castro to take the offensive and twice the President re fused. When the rebel reinforcements ar rived at La Victoria last Thursday Presi dent Castro and his forces were located at a point on the German railroad. The rebels made a detour of the city and cut off the only road of retreat open to the government forces. They were then short of ammunition, and had it not been for the arrival of a train bringing them half a million cartridges it is believed Castro’s forces would have been anni hilated. The revolutionists stationed near Ca racas, some 1200 men, under the command of General Ramos, are alone responsible for the retreat of General Mendoza; they permitted the, train carrying ammuni tion to the government forces to leave Caracus and reach La Victoria. This train had an escort of only 100 men. The men under Ramos did not attack -it nor did they destroy one of the eighty bridges in Caracas ahd La Victoria over which the railroad runs. An added proof that the government suffered terribly in the La Victoria fight is found from the fact that President Castro does not pursue General Mendoza. The latter’s plan in withdrawing from La Victoria is to oblige President Cas tro to abandon the positions he holds there. Tfie rebels suffered losses, but the gov ernment did also. President Castro's forces are reduced to 3100 men, while General Matos still has 9000 men in the field. It was not a rout but a methodical retreat. In conclusion the rebel officer said that the revolutionists within a few days would be found near Caracas. GONAIVES IS QUIET. Commander of the Haytien Forces Is Maintaining Order. Port-au-Prince, October 19.—The town of Gonalves is quiet. General St. Folx Colin, commander of the government forces there, is maintaining order.

The United States cruiser Cincinnati has left here for the Port de Palx. The French cruiser D'Assas has left for Port au-Prince and the German cruiser Falke has gone to Cape Haytien. FINE SPORT AT VAILSBURG. Over Three Thousand Persons Wit nessed Good Day’s Racing. Newark. N. J.. October 19.—About 3500 spectators witnessed a good day's racing at the Vailsburg track today. The on lookers took exception to two decisions of the judges and a small sized riot was the result. In the five mile open race Blllington came fast on the inside and to the onlookers it looked as if the New York boy had won by half a wheel. The judges thought differently and placed Root of Boston first and Blllngton sec ond. The crowd howled for half an hour. Lawson won the first heat of the three cornered match race by a length. Kra mer was pocketed. The second heat was given to Kramer, much to the displeasure of the crowd. In the third heat McFar lin defeated Kramer in handy fashion. The champion was not at his best. Law son and McFarland teamed and as each won a heat they won the first prize. The summaries of the two important events are: Five mile open, amateur, won by E. T. Root, Boston; Teddy Blllington, New York. A. C., second; Samuel Bulkins, Boston, third. Time, 11.56. Three cornered team match race, pro fessional, won by Iver Lawson, Salt Lake City and Floyd McFarland, San Jose; W. 8. Fenn, Bristol and G. H. Collett, New Haven, second; O. 8. Kimble, Louis ville and Frank L. Kramer, East Orange, third. Time, 2:19 3-5,. 2:16, 2:20. NEGROES AND WHITES CLASH AND SEVERAL SERIO USL Y WO UNDED DISAPPOINTED IN SECRETARY SHAW HIS LAST EFFORT AT DETROIT SATURDAY IS REGARDED AS A BAD BREAK EXPOSED TOO MUCH POLITICS. Washington, October 19.—(Special.)— The republican congressional committee is said to be sorely disappointed over the speeches of Secretary of the Treas ury Shaw. His last eiTort at Detroit yes terday is regarded as a pad break. He made an argument in favor of the prin ciples of ship subsidies which is an un popular subject in the middle west. The speech also serves to call the atten tion of every one to the fact that the senate passed a ship subsidy bill which was pigeon holed in the house through political cowardice. No one doubts that this bill at the next session will receive the votes of many republicans who would have been against it had a vote been taken at the last session on the eve of an election.

All the negroes have taken to the hills and are hid out A collision between them and the depu ties Is Imminent at any minute and the light will be serious If they meet. Thomp son lies In the depot groalnlng, waiting for the train to Birmingham, which leaves here at 4 o’clock in the morning. Bear, the negro, Is lying on the depot steps under guard. The situation Is unsettled and every one Is awake and armed to the teeth. A party of armed men got on the train at Cardiff and are assisting the deputies. At 1:35 the deputies returned from a search of all the negro houses looking for Will Tolbert. They found every thing quiet but many negroes away from their houses. Parties have Just left the dept to search for Creel, the missing man. They are well organized and have guides who are familiar with the sur rounding country. Just In the rear of the depot about fifty negroes are lying In one small house afraid to return to their houses. Creel’s father has come here from Flat Top mines and Is much dis tressed. A magazine of the Pratt Coal company was broken open late this af ternoon and a quantity of dynamite was stolen. There Is fear that they may place short fuses In this and blow up some buildings of the white people. The deputies will return to Birmingham at 8 o'clock this morning, unless further out breaks occur. Republican [Nominated.

London, October 19—The continued abundance of money, combined with the casing of monetary conditions In the United States and the news regarding tlje settlement of the coal strike caused a cheerfullness on the stock exchange last week, such as has not been known for months. The plentifulness of money Is largely explained by the fact that the government has disbursed nearly sixty millions of dollars within the past ten days. It Is expeoted, however, that the present superabundance of money to loan will disappear this week, thus bring ing the market bark to the bank, which will resume Its customary control; a con sequent general hardening of money will also be effected. Financiers are appre hensive that unless the market prices of money closely approximate the hanks' minimum rate of 4 per cent, the let ter's reserve, which Is already rather low. will be considerably decreased by foreign demands for gold, which may possibly necessitate a further rise In the rate. The upward movement of prices on the j stock exchange, which began on the an- j nouncement of the plan to settle the coal strike In the United States has con- 1 tinued. Final figures show practically I an al) round Improvement In which even English railroad shares are Included while j the demands for American railroads have greatly Increased. Business, however, needs to expand considerable before It reaches what Is termed the normal con dition. MEMPHIS RACES BEGIN SOON. All the Famous Horses of America Will Enter the Meet. Memphis, Tenn., October 19 —Tuesday next will mark the beginning of the Memphis Trotting association’s fall meet ing and Indications point to the most Important gathering of trotters and pacers that have ever assembled at any one track In America. Cresceus, the king of trotters, has been here for three weeks receiving a special preparation for his attempt against his own world's re cord. Dan Patch, the champion pacer, arrived today from Iowa, and horsemen jay that he Is in splendid condition. Dan Patch will also be sent against his re cord. John A. McKorron, who easily defeated Lord Derby, has arrived. He will not start in the cup races, but Mr. Devereaux, his owner, states that he will give exhibition trots and Incidentally be sent against Cresceus' record. Among other arrivals today was the stable of C. K. O. Billings of Chicago, in charge of trainer McCoy. Included In the lot were Vicious, Masette, Louise Jefferson, Little Boy, Mabel Onward, Fred S„ Wedgewood, Dr. Monlcal and others. The local track, which last year was regarded as the fast st In the world, has been specially prepared by Its builder, 3eth Griffin of Hartford, Conn., and It Is said to be In perfect condition. The (00 stalls of the association are found to be Inadequate and homes are being sta bled In nearby barns. Political Speaking In Cullman. Cullman, October 19.—(Special.)—A rep resentative crowd gathered at the picnic grounds here where they heard addresses by Hon. John H. Wallace In the morning and Hon. J. Tom i-eflln In the after noon. The occasion was a barbecue given un der the auspices of the democratic com mittee. About one thousand voters were on the grounds during the day and every precinct In the county was represented. It has been a red letter day for the dem ocrats of Cullman. While the democrats were addressing a thousar 1 voters at the picnic gronds, Mr. Street, the fusion nominee for con gress. with ex-Congressman Howard, ad dressed an audience of about fifty voters at the court house.

gSg I __ I SPOT IRON STILL STRONG iTRS TON No Agreement Made for Latter Half of 1903 PROBABLY $20 FOR NO. 2 General Pig Iron Market Is Taking a Breathing Spell—Trend of General Business Is on Satisfactory Plane, The local Iron market was without special feature last week. Spot Iron be ing In very limited supply continues to command $34 to $35. No agreement has been made by the large southern furnace companies touching a schedule of selling prices for deliveries In the last half of 1903, but when a conference Is held It Is believed that $20 for No. 2 foundry will be the basis. Extracts from Rogers, Brown Co.’s circular of Saturday's date follow: At Cincinnati. Cincinnati—The general pig iron market Is taking a needed breathing spell. Or ders have been fewer and tonnage some what lighter the past week. The furnaces welcome a quieter market for a time suf detent to enable them to give better satisfaction to consumers who have been and are still patiently waiting for their supplies of iron. The production for the remainder of the year and llrst quarter of next year being practically taken up, they feel that ample time will be afforded to arrange for orders taking deliveries beyond April and May. It will be borne In mind that some of the furnaces are entirely sold up to July next. The trend of general business seems to be upon a substantial plane and prom ising of satisfaction for a period at least through the coming year. The tones im parted this week are the easing of fin ances and the encouraging outlook as to full resumption of mining in the anthra cite region. Foreign irons for immediate require ments are greatly appreciated bjf those who cannot secure sufficient domestic supplies and while the import Irons need not be reckoned on for extended future necessities, temporarily they are con tributing greatly to the maintenance of operations In a large number of Import ant foundries. Prices continue Irregular, but the gen eral adherence to conservatism together with alien supplies, keep the market quite steady. The coke situation continues perplexing but it Is believed that renewal of activity in the anthracite field will free to normal c-hannelB a large percentage of coke that has been, during the protracted strike, diverted. The entrance into the season of Inclement weather gives no encour agement for marked improvement In manufacture or the transportation of coke, especially as ore,' coal, cotton and grain are moving In such enormous ton nage. At Pittsburg. Pittsburg—The week has been absolute ly devoid of Interest so far as concerns pig Iron, and Inquiries are few and far between. Coke, to the contrary, has been In most lively demand both for furnace and foun dry. Immediate coke of either class has been going at truly BtartUng prices, and even with the settlement of the anthra cite strike we do not look for materially lower figures this year. The car shortage and rapidly approaching cold weather are likely to aggravate matters and hold prices. At Chicago. Chicago—The main question of Interest here, as elsew'here, Is the early termina tion of the anthracite coal strike and Its possible effect on the iron market. Va rious opinions are being expressed, but it Is pretty generally conceded that the resumption of shipments of anthracite coal is still weeks or month In the fu ture. and when It does begin to move Its effect on the car situation will be to pos sibly curtail transportation of coke ar.l pig Iron to consumers and If anything strengthen the markets for pig Iron. There has been no very large trading during the past week, Interest centering malply, as for some time past, in early delivery material. Spot delivery Iron is being nbsorbed readily and at prices which have been ruling for some weeks. At New York. New York—The iron trade Is studying with much Interest the effect of the end of the anthracite strike upon the Indus try. So far as the direct effects are con cerned. they will hardly be appreciable. The anthracite furnaces thrown out of blast bv lack of fuel, represent less than 2 per cent of the total capacity of the country. It will be several weeks before all of these can again be In operation for domestic needs and the lake trade will doubtless have the first attention of tho companies. The indirect effects, however, ought to be felt at once. The pressure that Is re moved from the bituminous mines which have been called upon to make up the deficit In anthracite, should increase the output of coke available for furnaces. DISPENSARY FIGHT. Citizens of Etowah County Will Vote on the Question. Gadsden, October 19.—(Special.)—The dispensary sentiment In Etowah county has taken a strong hold upon the people, and they have opened the fight In great shape In Attalla. A petition was circu lated for a mass meeting, and In a short time 115 signatures had been secured, and when the meeting was called to or der the same night the hall was crowded. C. M. Frost, agent at Attalla for the Alabama Great Southern road, was made president of the campaign committee, and L. S. Gray secretary, and over 1300 j was raised for campaign purposes and more pledged if needed. Some time ago the democratic execu tive committee provided for a primary to vote on the following questions: For or against the present stock law. For or against the dispensary. For or against the election of the rail road commissioners by the people. The democratic nominees for the leg islature stand pledged to stand by the action of the people In this primary. The dispensary people are composed of some pf the most Influential and energetic peo ple in the county and they have made a very favorable Impression upon the voters and they will make a strong fight for the dispensary. If they carry the election it will put six saloon men In Gadsden and Attalla out of business and establish only one dispensary, and that In Gadsden. Hit Fatness Caused Death.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET. Business During the Past Week Was Very Quiet and Dull. Manchester, October 19.—Business In the cloth market last week was quiet and hand to mouth. The receipt of news con cerning the American coal strike had lit tle Influence and was apparently coun terbalanced by the dull demand for cloth from the more important outlets and by the uncertainty of money In America. The general inquiry was difficult to exe cute. In order to keep looms going until remunerate prices were accepted on goods suitable for India. Nevertheless, the dif ferences between buyers and sellers are narrowing slowly, and there was a slightly firmer general tone. The inquiry from China was unimportant; there were some sorting up purchases. The levant and South American demands were fair and there was moderate miscellaneous business. The Inquiry for yarns was disappointing and business was not up to the average. There were some forward sales of twists at favorable rates. Spinners ap pear to be In a fairly strong condition.

DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE Says They Are Entitled to Credit for New Constitution and for the Elimination of the Ne gro Vote. United States Senator John T. Morgan has written to E. K. Campbell, chairman of the democratic state campaign com mittee regretting that he cannot take an active part in the present campaign, and reviewing the present political condition in the state. Senator Morgan says that the demo cratic party is responsible for fcll the laws In the state, the new constitution with its elimination of the negro vote, and says furthermore that It should be and Is willing to assume responsibllty for the new laws needed to carry that instrument into full force and effect, and to accommodate the rapid growth and development of Industries. Following is the letter: Warm Sulphur Springs, Oct. IS, 1902. Mr. E. K. Campbell, Chairman, etc. Dear Sir—Your invitation of 11th Inst., requesting me to assist in the labors of the campaign committee, of which you are chairman, would be gladly accepted if other duties of a personal nature per mitted me to gratify this earnest desire, and to do this pleasing duty to myself and to the great people who have so often honored me with their confidence. From my childhood X have not been able, until this year, to feel assured that the peace and prosperity of the people of Alabama was firmly established on foun dations that are permanent. Every living Alabamian and their fathers before them inherited a condition with reference to negro slavery for which they are not responsible and have not had even tho power to control. In defending the constitutional guar antees, provided for this institution and sanctioned by every state in tho Union, all the thousands of millions of dollars that had been invested in slaves were swept away and the result was reached, which had never been doubtful, that tile abolition of slavery would be followed by the demand that the negro slaves should become the partners, with their owners, in all political powers and privi leges, and should be backed by the gov ernment in their demands for intermar riage and for social equality. Effects of Emancipation. In Alabama ,and the whole south, these consequences of emancipation have been resisted, with whatever powers we pos sessed. Gradually, through bitter ex perience, the public sentiment of the whole country, has at last reached tho quiet conclusion that cur struggles were for the rights, honor and purity of the white race; until even those who have gained profit and the power of office by controllng the votes of the negro race in Alabama, now unite with us, and even go beyond us, in their avowed re pudiation of the negro as a voter. This remarkable concurrence of senti ment and conviction is now a settled purpose; an event that is complete; a fact that is accomplished; and it Is the end of the controversy as to the legiti mate results and effects of the abolition of slavery in Alabama. Clouds Have Passed By. No national political party will serious ly atempt to renew a condition that is denounced by all white men. of all politi cal parties In Alabama and "the clouds have passed by." This most important situation has been reached through the organization, the principles and the labors and sufferings of the democracy; while they were an tagonized by the power and patronage of the federal government, in the hands of men whose entire political strength was in the control of the negro vote. It cannot be deemed that from the admis sion of Alabama into the union, the dem ocratic party has the Just credit for its splendid development, and for saving the state from such horrible- conditions as now afflict Ilaytl and San Domingo, and have been almost as disastrous in Jamaica-a British colony. In the sin cere admission of the democracy of Ala bama to the great creed of state rights, and the individual riglitB of the people instituted In 1900 by Thomas Jefferson and his associates, they have round the means of bringing the state through trials and difficulties of the most danger ous and distressing character, and it is beyond the power of the human mind to supplant that great creed with any other that could have saved the state, In those fierce trials or that can raise it to tho proud future that now dawns upon us. Democratic principles. If we had only the past to appeal to, for the union, harmony and strength of the democratic party of Alabama, our claim would be fully sustained. But we insist that, with the whole democratic party of the union, we stand for the gov ernment of the constitution and that our principles are the only safe basis of free republican government. We have no need to abandon our creed in search or new expedients for new conditions of difficulty, and a faithful adhersion to it is, now, more than ever, demanded by the safety and welfare of the people. The new constitution of Alabama is based upon the creed of the democracy, and the support of its form and plan of government appeals to every true dem ocrat as a high, personal duty. The mem ories of the past and the hopes of the future, now renewed with assurances of peace and great prosperity, alike invite us to stand by our constitution, which _ I 1847” ROGERS BROS.

When seen yesterday morning Mr. Wells gave assurance of the appreciation of the patronage of the Birmingham peo ple. He declared that the Bijou was a fixtures and that the very best talent possible to secure would be* offered during the season, and that the scale of prices would ever be popular, always the scale that now governs the house, no rise be cause of some great offering. “We appreciate the fact that real vau deville is Just being introduced,” said Mr. Wells. “The people of Birmingham have not had all they deserve in the way of popular priced attractions. They have been imposed upon, but I am sure that they are beginning to realize that they are getting a class of attractions now that merit patronage even at a scale of prices that could be larger. The averago cost of the bills that we are presenting might amaze some folk, but it is the same class of show that plays to the capacity of our theatres in Blchmond, Norfolk and Atlanta, and I will not be lieve that Birmingham will not support a good strong show, just as well as cither of the other cities. We intend running vaudeville for some weeks anH then there will be a change to drama, pre sented by one of our stock companies, the George Fawcett company. “We anticipated up hill travel in open ing here,” declared Mr. Wells. “We were told about the past and advised that our efforts would not be enthusiastically ap preciated, because of past experiences, but we have weathered all conditions, and after four weeks, the “to the good” side of the ledger shows a balance. I am decidedly pleased that the Birming ham people have taken well to the shows we have offered. I am determined to make Birmingham a good city in my cir cuit, and to accomplish that end I will get the best attratcions possible to buy.” ever Its former enemies adopt as a blessed relief to the state. States Voting Power. The voting power of the state, being relieved of the lncubers of a division on race lines, is now free to give Its sup port to such local and national measures as each voter shall consider is best for the country; and the reduced number of those entitled to the ballot adds a new responsibility to every lawful voter. Our best thoughts, as to public meas ures, and our most sincere action are needed to lay down safely and discreetly the lines of state policy that we must ad just to now industrial and commercial conditions, that are now moving Ala bama to the front rank of prosperous states. The parts of the whole world will soon be open, on the shortest possible lines of navigation to ships bearing nur commerce. Our resources of cotton, lum ber, grain and forage plants, with our unlimited capacity for coal and Iron pro duction will toad these ships with cargoes that are needed by every nation. The re turns must bring us wealth and strength that will build Alabama up Into honor able rivalry with the greatest states in (he world. Our laws are not fully adapt ed to this new atffl sudden change In our industrial conditions, and great care Is to be taken, so that they will promote the general welfare of the people, with out doing injustice to any of the our peo ple. whether black or white, rich or poor, native or foreign born. Democrats Responsible. The democratic party is responsible for these laws and accepts the duty without hesitancy; relying upon the soundness of Its principles of government, and the solid honesty of Its voters. This new field Is too grand for descrip tion In words. Time alone will reveal Its splendors. Already, we see there the mas ters of financial enterprise are taking control of the great railroads that lead to the Gulf of Mexico and our southern Atlantic seaboard, and are conblnlng them into gigantic systems of transpor tation, In which all the southern parts are terminal points. This does not mean merely, that pur Iron and coal fields, or our cotton arid grain fields, or our for ests are requiring this vast combination for the transportation of their produc tions. It means that the commerce of the Pacific will soon find Its way to and from southern parts, through an isth mian canal, and that the great railroads will be ready for Its transportation to the interior, and to the northern sea ports and lake ports, Alabama has a pressing reason for being prepared for this ap proaching event and one of her greatest needs is the adjustment of her laws to meet this new situation. Our primaries have nominate^ a most worthy ticket, headed by a wise and pa triotic democrat. They deserve our cordial support and the state needs the care they will faithfully bestow upon Its tr terrts. The democratic party has carried the confidence of the people and we can safely entrust to them the Inauguration of the era of peace, Justice and prosper ity which that grand organization has secured to Alabama.

HOW MEAT AND MILK ISINSPECTED Three Men Examine All Sold in the City COWS MUST HAVE HEALTH Any Milk Dealer is Liable to Have His Wagon Stopped and a Sample of Milk Taken for Analysis. At present Birmingham has three men whose work Is to investigate every piece of meat that is sold here and the milk that is used. These inspectors are elect ed by the city council. Two of them are assigned to moat and one to milk. Tho meat inspectors remain at the two slaughter houses, and inspect the condi tion c?f every beef, sheep, hog or any other cattle killed for the markets. If the cattle are found to be unhealthy the In spectors prevent them from being killed. After being slaughtered the meat is in spected, again. All of the flesh meat that is brought to the market from the coun try districts is inspected before it is put on sale. Tho meat inspectors also Inspect the foreign meats that are shipped here. A great deal of it is shipped to Birmingham from Kansas City, and when it is taken to the markets to be put on sale the inspectors carefully examine its condition before the markets are permitted to sell it. The duties of the Inspector who is as signed to milk are very similar. The milk inspector can at any time take a sample of milk from any dairy wagon and analyze It. This is done to ascer tain if there are any impurities in the milk, If it has been watered, or if any chemicals of any kind have been put in it to make it keep from souring. The milch cows at the different dairies are also inspected, and if their condition Is found to be unhealths', the inspector im mediately orders the owner to refrain from selling the milk given by such cows until they are again in good condi tion. The Inspection of meat and milk is a safeguard that, to a large extent, at least, prevents the markets from being stocked with unhealthy or unwholesome meats, and the dairies from selling im pure or adulterated milk to customers.

Polite vaudeville all the week—mat inees Tuesday, Thursday and Satur day. “Wizard of the Nile.” Among the season's novelties, it is said that few have been accorded a heartier reception than that which greets the per formances of “The Wizard of the Nile.” It is claimed Grau's organization has met with success everywhere, crowded houses and enthusiastic audiences have been the rule all along the line since the beginning of the tour. In the company are to be found some clever singers, comedians and specialty performers. Mr. John Henderson, who Is the stellar feature of the company, is a recognized comedian of merit. “The Wizard of the Nile" will be the attraction at te Jefferson thatre tonight and tomorrow matinee. Tomorrow night “El Capitan” will be done. Qordon-Shay Opera Co. It it claimed that behind Rose Cecelia Shay, In the Gordon-Shay Opera com pany. is one of the most complete and capable organizations which ever came out of New York city. While Miss Shay Is the star of the combination, her man ager, so he says, Is not permitting her to shine by contrast. Knowing that merit will make Itself seen and felt in any company he claims that he has engaged for the support to his star only singers of pronounced accomplishments and rep utation. He claims that no more capable soprano ever visited these shores from Italy than Helene Holdi and that Pauline Johnston, Eloise Bishop and Louise Tay lor will acceptably take care of ,the roles Intrusted to their care. In tenors the company is supplied with such men as Joseph Fredericks and Walter Wheatley. In the heavy male roles will be found John Dunsir.ure and Archille Alberti. The company will give two perform ances at the Jefferson theatre. Wednes day matinee the bill will be “II Trova tore” and at night "Faust". Frank Daniels. One of the bright Ideas In the libretto of “Miss Simplicity,” the new operatic comedy in which Frank Daniels Is to come to the Jefferson theatre next Thursday. Is a burlesque on the Zenda like kingdom that has been so useful during the past two or three years for writers of romantic novels. During the progress of the story, Daniels, who first appears as a valet to the young king of this pocket edition kingdom, becomes for a time'the temporary ruler of the place himself. The troubles that he has to sustain, the dignity, the amours, the Intrigues and the conspiracies that are supposed to make up the life of the aver age well regulated monarch are the prin cipal Ingredients in the mixture of fun that the comedian offers his audiences.

Tonight at 7:30 o’clock in the hall of tho Salvation Army, on Firet avenue be tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets a “Hallelujah wedding” will take place, when Col. R, E. Holt*, of Cleveland. O., will join in marriage Captain Annie Neidderer, of the post in this city, and Captain Albert Figgins of the post in Memphis, Tenn. A wedding In Salvation Army circles is very similar to weddings that take place in the churches, the couple march up the aisle to the altar, and attend ants take part in the ceremony, but there are some features that are distinctive. There is a law in the Salvation Army that none of the members shall marry until the engagement has covered at least a year, and in the promises made at the marriage one to the effect that the couple will remain faithful to the or- j ganizatlon Is considered of great import ance. The bride and groom wear no wed ding garments other than the regulation uniforms of the army. To this wedding ceremony an admis sion fee of 10 cents will be charged. After the ceremony the couple will leave for Chattanooga, Tenn., on a short vacation. Last night at the army hall a farewell service was conducted by Captain J. B.

He has arrived with his wife and family. All of them are musicians. L. A, BENNIE TALKS OF HUMANE SOCIETY

ONLY ASSISTANCE GIVEN BY THE CITY IS FINES FROM THOSE CONVICTED OF CRUELTY TO AN IMALS—FOURTEEN ARRESTS. Secretary L. A. Bennie of the Humane society was asked yesterday If the or ganization was progressing in its work. He replied that it was and added that an effort was being made to conduct the work on a business basis. Continuing his remarks in reference to the organization the secretary said: "If all of the residents, including the ladles, aid in the movement Birmingham will have a society of this kind that will compare favorably with any similar or ganization in the country. The fines im posed upon those convicted of cruelty to animals are each month given to the so ciety by the city treasurer, and this is the only assistance rendered by the city. The membership is not what it might be, but if all good, substantial people will aid in the cause I have no doubt but that the city will after awhile make an appropriation to the society. "The looking after those who transgress the law regarding ill treatment to dumb brutes is peculiarly a work of its own. It is the same old story, what is every body’s business is nobody's business. In order to make the work of the society ef fective we must have funds to pay the expenses incurred in carrying on the work. "The society is now well organized. The president and secretary have worked together with no desire to do a wrong to anyone, and have looked solely to those who mistreat the dumb brutes.” The Humane society began its work on the 18th of last month and since then fourteen persons have been convicted of cruelty to animals in different forms. The special officer has warned about fifty persons of wrongs they have per petrated on horses and mules and they have been told if the treatment was not stopped arrests would follow. ELKS TO MOVE.

Yesterday the Brandon Light artillery spent the day at the fair grounds drill ing and getting used to the manouvers which they will have to execute Thurs day in firing the salute to Governor Jelks. Considerable improvement was shown in the work of the men and by Thursday they will have all the minor points perfected so there will be no hitches. Mess was served on the grounds shortly after 12 o'clock and three hours later the guns were limbered up and brought back to the city. About thirty members of the battery spent the day and a number of others were out at different times. The battery is drilling hard every night to perfect themselves in the manage ment of the guns. The handling of the mules is, however, the hardest portion of the work and the artillerymen have some trouble in persuading them to do just as they should. Every military company in the city has been drilling hard for the past few weeks perfecting themselves in order that they may enter the various prize drills, which are to be the feature of the first day’s programme. Nearly every company in the state will be represented at the fair, some of them promising to send an al most complete complement of men. Handling urowpi.

A. B, Curry. LIFE IS MORE THAN MEAT Dr. Curry Explains Text and Praises the Efforts of Judge Feagln and Chief Austin to Prevent Immorality. The Rev. A. B. Curry, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, delivered his sermon yesterday morning from the text, "The Life la More Than Meat, and the Body is More Than Raiment,” Luke 12, 23. His theme was that man is greater than his surroundings. In his sermon Dr. Curry said: "The Divine Teacher here institutes a comparison between man and the mate ria! world around him. The word ‘Life’ la, In the margin of the revised version, rendered 'soul," so that we may read the text thus: ’The soul la more than meat, and the body Is more than rai ment.’ Soul and body stand for the entire man himself, while raiment and meat stand for all the material world around him, with which he comes In contact and which he must use. The lesson of the text Is, man Is greater than all his sur roundings. By surroundings I mean all on the earth outside of man; food, rai ment, equipages, houses, land, silver, gold and business; all material things. By man I mean, not the human race, mankind in general, but a man any man, you, my hearer; are greater than all your surroundings. This will appear if we consider the In consistences of man's creation, all else on earth was created by the simple flat of the Almighty; but when man is to be created, counsel Is held, and the God head is heard saying: "Let us make man In our own image and after our likeness.' And so it was. Of him It Is said: 'God breathed into hlB nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.’ Of no other created thing Is such language spoken, and this breath of the Eternal God In man, called a living soul, Is more than all else on earth besides. Man Above Creation. Then man was not considered with the rest of creation, but exalted above it; he was given ‘dominion over the crea tions.’ The earth with all its beautiful furnishings of land and sky, of mountain and valley, of tree and plain, of gold and precious stones Is only the houBe which God prepared for his immortal offspring, man; and the child is greater than the house in which It lives; greater than the gilded cradle In which it sleeps. "The superiority of man appears again in his destiny. All things around him perish, as a garment they wax old and vanish away, even the earth, one day being on Are, shall be burned up. But man made in the image of God, like God, has Immortality; he lives on and on, and leaves these surroundings to enter new ones. "Once more, the value of man appears in God’s estimate of him. He gave his only begotten Son to save man. Yes, 'the soul Is more than meat, and the body more than raiment.’ This truth should be remembered In all our dealings with our own souls and bodies. The man who sacrifices his soul or his body for any earthly object or objects, for meat or raiment, for gold or pleasure, makes a fatal mistake. It makes no difference what he gains by it, he loses incompar ably more; for his gain is temporal, but his loss in eternal. ‘What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what shall a man gain in exchange for his soul?’ Work on Man. “Again we shouhl remember this truth in all our efforts for the betterment of our fellowmen. If we would do a man the highest and most lasting good, we must work directly on the man himself and not merely on his surroundings. En vironment Is much but It is not all. You cannot always save a man by changing his environment, but you can always change his environment by saving the man. You cannot abolish murder by sim ply prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons; but if you will take murder out of a man’s heart, he will not carry con cealed weapons. You cannot cure the drunkard by closing up the saloon, but you can close the saloon by curing the drunkard. Not that it Is not a good thing to prohibit pistol carrying and to cl^e the saloons; It Is a good and noble thing to Improve to the highest degree external conditions. I give unqualified endorse irent to our worthy police court Judge in his efforts to break up the pernicious I habit of pistol carrying by a rigid en forcement of the law, and to our most efficient chief of police in his persistent efforts to break up gambling hells and bring the gamblers to Justice. This is the state's duty to improve conditions and make them the best possible. It is often all the state can do. But the church can and must go farther. She must follow the example of her divine Lord, and expand her chief labor on man himself and not on his surrounding. Christ stead fastly refused to interfere with the so cial or political conditions of his day, and concerned himself above all with I man himself. He announced his mission thos: ‘The Son of man Is come to seek and save that which was lost;’ and ho went after lost man as a shepherd goes after his lost sheep. He announced his fundamental rule for solving human trou bles thus: ‘A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit; make the tree good and the fruit will be good.’ This is the only way of bringing to man the high est good. It was Christ’s way; It must be the church's way. Her one great work Is to ‘preach the gospel to every crea ture,’ that every creature may exper ience Its saving, transforming power. The church muBt not be indifferent to men's surroundings; she must be keenly alive to them.
