THE STANLEY TRAGEDY
The Woman Is Resting Easy at the
AIbcmarle
Her Companions Have Fled From the Detec-
tives to San Francsco-There Are No
Sensational Developments

The events in the tragedy that was en-
acted Friday morning in the Aibemarle
lodging house have not been augmented
by any additional sensations beyond the
disappearance of Harry Forsythe. Charles
G. Smith and Alfred +. Cleveland from
the scene. The women must perforce re-
nam here.
Detective John Goodman took charge
OF the case after the inquest and investi
gated the affair to the bottom, discover
ing the facts rs related and finding no
evidence on which the men could be held
legally responsible. However he had no
sooner got through with Smith than the
latter fled so precipitatey that he left his
valise and kodak camera i'll the officers
hands He left on the morning train
Frdny and on the night train was fol-
lowed by Cleveland. Forsythe. about
whom there is not so much mystery after
all, slid out Of town the afternoon of the

appropriating So and putting off 50 on
her sick and helpless victim.
The contents of Smiths valise show
that he is Charles q. Smith of New

railway headlights. lanterns and other

they left New York some weeks ago and
journeyed through the south to Savan-
nah, Mobile, New Orleans and Los Ange-

had kodak views. Their diary was rich
in illusions to just such adventures as
overlook them here, though none of them
ended so tragically.
Regarding the case the Herald is in

FACTS VS. FANClES.

The Massachusetts legislative commit tee that came South can't make the facts and their arguments agree They evi- dently tried hard to convince themselves that New England has the advantage of the South in cotton manufacturing, but every fact they mention neutralizes their arguments. In their report they say: "The committee believe there is no imme diate danger to the cotton manufactur- CTS of Massachusetts from Southern competition" Upon what facts they base this belief they do not say Evidently the wish was father to the thought. When the committee gives facts instead of the ories the matter takes on a different com plexion
 The report says: During he last ten years much Massachusetts capital has gone South into cotton factories, and other capitalists are contemplating such investments In 1S93-94 the South had about 45 per cent of the total increase in the number of spindles in the whole coun- try, while Massachusetts had about 36 per cent of the two years increase in the country. In fourteen years the South has increased it's capital about 400 per cent and New England 75 per cent showing that the tendency is toward the South"
 How is it that the committee can view these facts with equanimity? Perhaps the committee thinks that the South will manufacture only coarse goods and leave the finer goods to New England.
 The committee also says Most of the mills we visited in the South were run by steam" This is an important ad- mission. It shows that the cotton mills are discarding water for steam power This gives the South an additional ad- vantage over New England, for coal is much cheaper in the South.
 The report further says in re- gard to the hours of labor that the aver age hours per week in the South are sixty-nine, and in Massachusetts only f1fty-eight This shows that Southern mills are run some 20 per cent longer than the Northern mills. The cheaper living, etc., in the South, the report says, makes it possible for the Southern la- borer to work for less money than his Northern competitor"

RAIN, HAIL AND WIND, Birmingham Has an Experience
 With the Elements. HEAVY DOWN-P0UR OF RAIN. Terrific Windstorm, Accompanied With lurid Lightning and 0eep-Toned Thur
 der-Hail at North Birming-
 ham and Pelham.
DOWN-POUR OF RAIN.

This city and vicinity was visited yes terday afternoon by heavy downpour of rain, accompanied by fierce wind and electric storm.
 The wind began suddenly to rise about noon and grew steadily in velocity until 1t reached the proportions of a storm. About 3:45 o'clock the rain began falling and for an hour the streets were flooded. the fall being so great the sewer could not carry it off fast enough. Conserv- ative estimates placed the fall at inch, while the velocity of the wind was at least fifty miles an hour. The fierce and ugly flashes of lightning accompanied by deep-toned thunder added to the dis comfort of the afternoon.
 Hall at North Birmingham.
 The storm left It's mark at North Bir mingham, where. besides the visitation of wind and rain. heavy fall of hail added to the afternoons weather.
 Much damage was done to gardens and fruit trees, while flower gardens were badly torn up by the falling hailstones.
 The Work of Lightning.
 About 4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire was sent in from box S1 The fire was at Eighth avenue and Fifth street, and the cause was stroke of lightning. During the time the storm was prevailing, bolt of lightning struck the top of the south end of the four-room house occupied by MT. J. Curry The immediate shock scared the people in the house, but work was begun at once at removing the contents from the building. The fire, however, spread rapidly and in short time the building was consumed. The fire then spread to barn on one side and two dwelling houses on the other side.
 The department went out but by the inc rrfUaH thn nQQfAqf I1IIlQ 1t was found to be too late to do any thing. The damage is not exactly known, but 1t is estimated to be in the neighbor- hood of $750 or $500.
 At Pelham.
 Engineer John Cox of Louisville and Nashville accommodation No. 10, who ar rived last night at TAO o'clock, reported hail on the ground at Pelham to depth of from to inches. He said to an Age Herald reporter that it was the prettiest sight he ever saw, houses and hillsides for distance of half a mile being covered with the hail, which presented the appear anee of neWly-fallen snow. The temper ature was considerably cooler, he said, than when he passed there going south in the morning.
 Hail at Birmingham Junction.
 Hail was reported to have fallen around Birmingham Junction. oh the Alabama Great Southern, as large as pigeon eggs and to a depth of 2h to 3 inches. There was a heavy rain before the hailstorm and the ground was liter ally piled up with hatlstones.
 Hail at Sandusky.
 Captain Barber. conductor on the Bir- >fningham and Selma division of the East Tennessee road. informed an Age Herald reporter that between Morgan and Fur her, for distance of over a mile, the ground was covered with hail, which had the appearance, as the train scurried along, of foam on the ground

grievous burdens-such as led the de- spending to lose hope, in a degree, for the future. Stin enough brave hearts have existed here to maintain the real advantages which this city possessed until there was a turn in the tide of general depression. and now there is an opportunity to place these advantages before the world in such a way as can not but bring benefits of a most lasting character to this city. Surely that op portunity is appreciated and its value understood by all classes among us; if not, this meeting will certainly accom- plish this end Hence it behooves every genuine friend of Birmingham regardless of all other considerations, engagements, ties lor other conditions or circum- stances, to attend that meeting Friday night. Not only this, he should talk it to his neighbor and tell it to his wife and daughter, and have those in turn tell 1t to all their female friends until Birming- ham is fully and thoroughly aroused to the importance of this whole movement.
 MT. T. c. DeLeon of Mobile will ad- dress this meeting, and our people who do not know him will have an opportu- nifty of seeing and hearing one who has made a worldwide fame with his pen, and who is equally as facile and pleas ing with his tongue; so that a rich treaC will be in store for those who attend, even aside from the great importance of the meeting as bearing upon Birming- hams welfare

ENGLISH LADY CAPITALIST.
She Represents a Syndicate With S1oO, ,ooo to Invest in Alabama

She Represents a Syndicate With SIoO, ,oOo
 to Invest in Alabama.
 Mrs. Lillie Ray, the lady at Moulton Heights whom we have so often men, toned, and who is here to look after the flax mill and the boring for natural gas, represents an English syndicate of Sl00,l 900, which she says will be invested in New Decatur when the necessary guar antics have been secured, says the New Decatur Advertiser. By special invita- tion the editor of this paper spent last Sunday afternoon at her home, and par took of an old-fshioned English o'clock tea with her. Mrs. Ray is the very soul of good old English hospitality and the tea and cakes of exquisite flavor were served on rare china, every piece of which seemed worth a kings ransom. Her surroundings are those of luxury and taste, with rugs, portieres and bric- a-brac of priceless value. These are but fitting accessories to the lady herself, who is young, handsome, intellectual, wealthy and-a widow. She has pur- chased g good deal of property since she came to this city, chiefly land lying be- tween Moulton Heights and New Deca- tur, and we expect to hear soon of ex- tensive developments in that vicinity.
