CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Appeal by Gen. F. s. Ferguson That They Con- tribute to the Building of Battle
 Abbey
Headquarters Alabama Division United Confederate Veterans,
 Birmingham. Ala. Dec. 10, 1885,


 1. The convention of United Confeder- ate Veterans at Houston, Tex, last May appointed committee to consider the proposition of Comrade Charles Broad way Rouss to erect suitable memorial building in which to preserve the relics Of the war and for other historical and benevolent purposes.
 g. The proposition of Comrade Rouss is that he will give $100,OOO towards the erection of the building if the United Confederate Veterans will raise the same amount for that purpose.
 3. The committee, acting for and by the authority of the convention, has accepted the proposition, and now appeals to each camp of United Confederate Veterans to sustain that action by promptly supply ing the funds.
 f. The commander-in-chief, General Gordon, most heartily approves the plan, and requests the ladies of the south to set apart the first day of May, 1896, as Memorial Day, and by such methods as they may devise raise money to aid in the great enterprise
 5. The major-general now brings this patriotic undertaking to the attention of the veterans of the Alabama division, and appeals to them by the memories of the past, and their determination that it's history shall be written in truth, to re- spond quickly and liberally to the call. And to the end that the contribution or this division shall be second to none, he suggests that each veteran make a dona- tion, however small. and that each camp, as body, give to the best of its ability. All funds raised for the purpose must be deposited in some bank, reported at once to Col. Robert C. Wood, A Perdido street, New Orleans, La, and, on his requstion. turned over to the proper authority designated by him.
 G. The major-general, with confidence, appeals to the daughters of Alabama to set apart the first day of May, 1896, and on that day, by such entertainments as their good taste may suggest, aid their fathers and brothers to build the Battle Abbey of the south.
 '. The city of Montgomery was the flrst capital of the Confederate states. There it's constitution was adopted, its president inaugurated, it's flag unfurled. No other city has higher or better claims to the location of the proposed memorial build ing, and to it's patriotic and large-heart- ed people the major-general makes the earnest appeal that they do all in their power. by the raising of money and the donation of a suitable building site, to induce the United Confederate Veterans to make it the permanent home of south ern history-the Mecca of southern pa triotism. By command of

The result to-day has been distinctly
favorable to the seamanshlp OF the cnaI-

sailing his boat for all there wss in her

the American was generally well handled,

an abortlve trial, because the tive hours
in which the course had to be covered
was used up, with the little boats yet
more than three-quarters OF a mile from
the finish.
The course to-day was a run off the
wind. a reach northwest and a beat TO
wind ward, south by vest one-hglf west.
Viewed as a whole, the Spruce out
sailed the Ethelwynn ION the wind, !"
while the American was superior on the
English boats reputed points. There
were about as many and varied classes OF
pleasure craft on hand as during the pre-
ViOEs races.
Tomorrow the race will be run over

SAN Francisco, Sept. 24.-Ihe prosecu-
tion in the Durrant case closed this alter
noon. Three more of its witnesses Will
be recalled for the accommodation OF the
defense tomorrow, but they Will testlIv
only to facts connected with the finding
of the body of Miss Lamont in the tower.
The most important of the hnai VIII
nesses in connecting Durrant with lhe
murder was William Sterling. gas
filter. who put saving burners on all the
gas cocks in the church the day before the
murder. He to-day corrOborated Janltor
Sadeinan in saying that there was leak
in one of the chandeliers near the entrance
to the vestibule, which Is supposed 10
have supplied the gas sme!t by George
King when he entered the church on the
dav of the murder just before Durrant
burst on his view, pale, weak and agl-
tated.
The day after the murder Sterling said
lie had taken out the sun-burners on
which Durrant claimed to have peeh
working when overcome with gas. lie
found nothing the matter with them and
no gas leak in that part OF the building.
While trying to reach the ceiling on the
day after the murder he tried the tower
door, but found the outside knob broken
oil. He seized the projecting ROD 10 the
other knob with his pInchers ana turned
it. but the lock was broken, and he could
not open the door. Had he done so the
murder would probably then have been
discovered.
Three more witnesses we're to-day IN
troduced to whom Durrant had denied
that he had seen Miss Lamont on the al
ternoon OF the murder. though he ad-
lnitted that he was with her that morn
ing. This testimony is TO prevent the
defense explaining Durrants being IN
Miss LanonIs company on that alter
noon, even should it desire to do so,
which Is not probable.
The defense will open its case to-mor-
row morning, but it is not yet known if
il viii outline its case in preliminary
statement. Durrant's attorneys are very
eecretive. for the alleged reason that they
do not want their witnesses attacked by
the prosecution. The defense promises
sensational developments, but there is a
general doubt Of its ability 10 affect The
case OF the prosecution.
