PARENTS OUTWITTED.
Two Loving Hearts, After Many Vain Efforts, Made One at an Early
 Hour at the Depot

The ladies' waiting room at the union depot was the scene of romantic wedding at the rather unusual hour of o'clock yesterday morning.
 The groom, MT. B. J. Edelen of Spring. vile, Ky., had been in Birmingham sev- eral days, having come here to meet and marry Miss Daisy B. Rogers of Nashville.
 These two young people had known and loved each other for quite a while, and for the past six months had been planning and scheming to overcome parental objec- tions. They had arranged to meet at va- rious times and places during this period, but there was always some obstacle pre- senting itself just in time to prevent the consummation they hoped for.
 Finally,as a last resort, they selected Birmingham, the groom saying that if they were thwarted here they had as well give 1t up, and, agreeable 10 arrangements, Mir. Edelen came to Birmingham several days ago and was to be followed Wednes- day morning by Miss Rogers, who was to arrive on the Louisville and Nashville train due at 3:50 q. m.
 As stated in the AGE- HERALD Thursday morning, she did not come. Mir. Edelen had secured the services of a minister and had a few friends to witness the marriage, but when the train came no bride was on it.
 Wednesday he received telegram from Miss Rogers saying she would be here yes- terday morning, and the expectant groom prepared again for her.
 Rev. Mir. Watson was engaged to per form the ceremony uniting the happy couple, and when the Louisville and Nash vile train rolled undsr the car shed yester- day at $50 a. m. the bride was met by the groom and they were soon made husband and wife in the presence of the employees of the union depot, two policemen and few others who happened there about that time.
 MT. Edelen belongs to a wealthy Ken lucky family, and Miss Rogers is the daughter of prominent Nashville gentle man.
 The groom's family are Catholics, and the brides are protestants. It is said MT. Edelen's parents objected to him marrying protestant, and the brides parents ob- jected to her marrying Catholic. Hence the elopement.
 As soon as the marriage ceremony was over the young couple went to Southside boarding house.

 Are Killed.

MoNRoEvILLE, Sept. 27.-fSpecial Cor respondonce. l-Another shocking tragedy has occurred in Monroe county, resulting in the death of two persons, one promi- nent citizen of the county.
 On Monday last MT. M. P. Stallworth of Bells landing and negro named Evan Baldwin shot and killed each other.
 From what we can learn the negro was farming on MT. Stallworth's land, and commenced to haul his cotton to another gin. Mir. Stallworth ordered him not to do so, but carry the cotton co his gin. They both met Monday, each armed with guns, and fired on each other almost smul- taneously.
 Stallworth was struck in the eye with small shot and in the face. He lived some four hours. The negro was shot in tue bowels and only lived about an hour.
 MT. Stallworth was brother of our pro- bate judge, Hon. N. J. Stallworth, and his tragic death is deeply deplored.

NANIAMo, B. O., Sept. 2S.-Two men were burned to death, two other men and a little girl were badly injured and $100, 900 worth of property was destroyed ty fire that broke out here at o'clock this morn- ing.

 The flames spread in n6rtheriy direc- ton along Wharf street, destroying the fire department hall, the Naniamo hotel, c. Stevenson's dry goods store and five small frame buildings. That the newer part of the town was not completely burned was due to the absence of wind and to the vigorous work of the volunteer fire brigade.

The AaE- HERALD one day last week told of a missing witness, Henry Ables of Ok 5ford, who had been attending United States court in this city. He was the only important witness against several men charged with White Capping in Cleburne county, and on Thursday, two weeks ago, the case was continued and all the wit nesses dismissed.
 The next day all but Abes returned home, as stated by the AaE-HERALD.
 The continued absence of Ables and the circums tances surrounding his disappear ance leads to the belief that he met with foul play.
 Some of his friends taking this view of 1t will advise the attorney general and ask him to have the matter thoroughly inves- tigated, and if possible to locate the miss- ing man, or if he has been put out of the way, to ferret out the guilty parties.

An Ex-Slave Laid to Rest With
 Honor by White Hands.
AN INTERESTING SITUATION
Caused by the Action of a
 Joint Board of Tax Commits ,sioners-Other News.
AGE H ERALD BoRsAU,

Robert Carter, an olG family servant of the late Dr. Parrish, died in Selma yester- day morning, and his funeral received more than the passing notice given to the interment of an ex- slave. Since Dr. Par rish's death old man Robert has been liv- ing with the family of MT. G. Parrish, and his funeral service was preached by Dr. Cecil of the First Presby terian church in tho elegant parlors of the latter's home yesterday afternoon. The funeral was at- tended by some of our most prominent citizens and large number of colored people.
 The old man was faithful slave in his lifetime and went through the war with pr. Parrish, fighting for the cause of the white people of the south. When the negro was set free he did not care for such freedom and told his master that he would return to the bonds, and he did.
 He was buried in handsome casket, which was decorated with wreaths of beautiful flowers.
 PREPARING FOR THE NEW YEAR.
 A splendid programme is being prepared for the celebration of the Jewish new year in Selma on next Sunday. Exercises will take place at the temple on Sunday even ing al o'clock and Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
 TAX TOPICS.
 Considerable dissatisfaction was recently caused in Dallas county by the action of joint board of com missioners in regulating the city and county taxes. This dissatis- faction was done away with by the board which was composed of the board of reye- nue and a board appointed by the city revising the county tax rate and reducing the valuation of property in the county.
 The people were satisfied with this regu- lation, but now there comes complaint from headquarters, and it seems that the governor questions that such right was invested in the board as reducing the value of property to meet the approval of the people. The tax collector of the county called upon Governor Jones yesterday for the purpose of receiving instructions, and the governor notified him to take no further steps in the discharge of lis duties until the matter has been fully investi- gated.
 According to this order the tax col- lector's office is virtually closed until further hearing from the governor, which is waited for by the tax payers of the county with interest.
 PERSONAL.
 Mrs. Ed Randolph and Miss Polenitz of Greensboro were in Selma today visiting friends.
 MT. John 0. Lawrence of the Marion Standard has been in Selma for the past few days in interest of his paper.

A POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT
Looked for From a Meeting Which Has Been Requested.
 Strikers Drawing Funds.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 2S.-Thereis a possibility of a settlement of the labor troubles in the mills in this city. Sscre- tary Howard oi the Spinners' union has written to the Manufacturers association asking for a con ference, and Secretary Rousvile has sent letter in return, saying that the memDers of the Manufacturers' association will meet the spinners' repre- sentatives at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Secre- tary Howard will not state why he wishes to talk with the manufacturers at this time. It is surmised in manufacturing circles that ne wishes to get we'll posted on the situation and to make some sort of a proposition looking toward settlement. The members Of the Spinners' union re- ceived their second weeks allowance today.
 Tomorrow's meeting is the great subject of talk in the city, and it is being remarked in all quarters that Howard will effect some kind of a temporary peace between the manufacturers and operatives.
 A great many weavers called at the head- quarters of the union today expecting to receive weekly allowance from the fund. None had been voted and of course no pay ments were made. Much dissatisfaction was expressed, but the officers say they must keep their funds well in hand for some time to come.
 The Sagamore mill weavers held a meet ing and voted not to go to work, but SIP out of 1900 looms were in operation before 12 o'clock. The Globe yarn mills continue to show gain in the number of operatives employed. The reduced scale of wages is 1n force at these mills.
 Collectors for the Weavers' union will start to work Monday morning and wlll make tour of New England cities, beg ging for assistance.
