WEEKS ON MAY 3.
Albany. April ls.-There is a feeling on the part
OF several OF the Republican Senator's that the Leg

by May and then take a recess for couple OF
weeks This they think. shoHld be done in order
TO give the Mayors OF cities the necessary fifteen
days In which approve dlsapprove OF bills
which may be passed concerning municipalities
One of the Republican Senators said this afternoon:
1T would that recess would have TO be
taken for the purpose indicated. Several OF the
members think recess should be taken. so that
the Legislature would be in position 10 act on
any measure it might desire to pass over the DIS
approval of a Mayor"
Senator Stapleton, who is an antP.att man. SAID:
Another construction that might be placed upon
the Legislatures taking recess is that IL would be
done I'm order To enable the membefs TO return

HOW. IT HAPPENED.
The Fatal Result of Trial of a Canet
 at Sandy Hook

The Fatal Result of Trial of Canet Gun
 at Sandy Hook.
 Sandy Hook, N. J., Sept. 2S.-The small government steamer Thayer left Sandy Hook this evening with Private Coyne, who was seriously wounded, and with the bodies of Corporal Doyle and Private Conway. The gun which caused the acci- dent was mounted about 10 feet away from the Hotchkiss mount, which killed Lieutenant Peck on February 19. last. Today rapid fire test of the Canet, 7-10 inch gun, was in progress. One shot had been fired. Coyne handed the second shell, containing the charge, to Conway, who put it in the gun. and Doyle proceeded to close the breech block, but he never fin- ished it. The shell exploded prematurely, throwing back the block and killing Doyle and Conway instantly and wounding Coyne and Mcdonald, while Ryan, one of the firing squad, escaped with slight in juries.
 After the accident it was found that the firing pin in the breech block had not gone back as it should have done and that this afternoon it must have struck the cap of the cartridge and caused the accident. Both men were well liked by the department. The wounded are ex- pected to recover.
 Lieutenant Montgomery at the time of the accident was standing along side of the gun. sighting it. He was not injured but his hearing was affected somewhat.

A BIG CONTRACT.
Iron Rails for South America Being Turned Out at Gate Clty-A Prophecy Now Q
 Being Fulfilled.

The Alabama Rolling mill located at Gate City, is filling an order for 300 tons of rails to be used in the construction of a railroad in one of the South Ameri- can countries. The road is being built for the purpose of hauling bananas from the interior to the coast where they will be loaded in steamers and shipped to the United States. Heretofore the banana growers of that section have been at a great disadvantage in not having the necessary transportation facilities, ne groes being their principal public car riers.
 The Ala bama Rolling mill was awarded the contract for the 300 tons of rails some time ago and have been at work on 1t for several days.
 The same company has just finished an order of 300 tons of finished iron for an Australian firm, which was shipped a few days ago.
 These shipments from Birmingham to South America and Australia recall the report of President Kuson of the Iron in sttute of Great Britain, made in 1890. In that report he predicted that Great Brit aims exports of 100000 tons of iron to the East and West Indies, South Amer ica and Australia would in few years fall away to nothing, and that the con- nections between the states and Austra- lia would be strengthened. He also pre- dicted that the Birmingham district would control the iron market of the world.

WILL MAKE THE: TEST.
Gate Citys Artesan Wells to Be Expermented With to Find Their Capacity Other
 Wells to Be Put Down.

Messrs Caldwell Bradshaw and asso- ciates are arranging to test the capacity of the artesian wells at Gate City, from which they intend obtaining the water supply for the water works system to be built by themselves.
 large engine, compressers, pumps and other necessary apparatus have been bought and are being put in place ready for the test, which will be made next Thursday.
 At present they have four wells, aver aging in depth about 100 feet Two oth- CTS will be bored in the same vicinity
 MT. Maclin Sloss, who is largely inter- ested in the new company, stated to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday that they would like for the people of Birmingham to see the test made, and he believed the dummy line would put on a special train to take them to Gate City.

WITH MUCH FAVOR

Was the Challenge of the Victoria Yacht
 Club Received in New York.
 New York, Sept. 2S.-The action of the Royal Victoria Yacht club In today send ing a formal challenge by mail in the name of Charles D. Rose confirms the correspondence which has already passed and clinches the challenge of the dis tant shore for the America S cup. It only remains for the New York Yacht club to take action on the challenge and send to Secretary Thellussen of the Royal Vic toria Yacht club the formal acceptance of the challenge. This will be done at an early date, and a series of races for 1896 will then be assured.
 The prompt indorsement by the Royal Victoria Yacht club of MT. Roses offer to challenge was very gratifying to the members of the New York Yacht club. There had been some talk of some diff ficulty in obtaining the backing of a prominent British club for the new chal- lenger or at least of delay until after Lord Dunraven had returned to England and stated his grievance to the Royal Yachts squadron. But the readiness to challenge by the Royal Victoria and the willingness of the challenger to leave all conditions to the cup committee showed that there are Britons who have con fidence in American fairness The chaI- lenge is absolutely unconditional. In-
  raven and the cup committee in corre- spondence by post and cable prior to the challenges of 1893 and 1895 there has been nothing but an informal offer by cable to challenge on September 23 a re- ply as to the form the challenge should take and the transmission of the official challenge today.
 The whole business has practically been completed in five days. The chal- lenger has named his yacht and the length of the load water line as required by the deed of gift under which the cup is held. He has left the dates, courses and conditions to the cup committee. He has virtually offered to build a yacht, bring her over and sail match races when, where and under what terms the committee please. As one of the members of the club put it: His offer takes ones breath away, but our people will try to outdo him in generosity"
 There will be a special meeting of the New York Yacht club, the meeting to be called for a nearby day, to receive the Americas committee of 1895 and to act of the New York Yacht club do not look kindly upon Lord Dunravens desire to arrange for cup races for Valkyrie III next year. now that another yacht has entered the list He may be given some private matches, and opportunities will be plentiful for racing in open regattas, but the feeling is that one challenge for the Ameriea's cup is about as much a s the club should be asked to meet in a summer.

Killed by A Train.

Pitsburg, Sept. 2S.--Wiliam Brady and John Ericsson, members of the Scribne,' & Smith Circus company, were instantly killed by train No. s. on the PittsburG. Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis rail- road at o'clock this morning, at Hud- sons crossing, near Carnegie Station. The men were traveling from Chartier $ to McDonalds in carriage. and were struck by the train while crossing the track. The horse was killed and the ve- hicle smashed to pieces. The train is one of the fastest on the Panhandle and was running at high speed. A heavy fog pre- vailed at the time and is the proba ble cause of the accident.
