Tine Executive Committee of the Girls School Makes Inspection.

Montevallo, July 13.-(Special Corre- spondence) 1.-The executive committee Of the Girls Industrial School of Alabama, composed of Hon. F. s. Moody of Tuska- loosa, Capt. Thomas Plowman of Talla- dega and Col. w. w. Wadsworth of Wadsworth, met Miss Julia Tutwiler, the newly elected president, at this place on Thursday morning last. The board remained in session until Friday even- ing. While here the committee carefully inspected the property donated the school and titles to the same. They also took a trip to the coal fields and exam ined the coal land donated to them, which they found situated in the heart of the Lolly basin, well known to be the finest basin of coal in the state of Ala bama. They went over the land and found the test pits, which had been dug some time past, showing several very fine veins of coal.
 New plans were formulated in regard to the buildings at Miss Tutwiler's sug- gestions, which will be embraced in their report to the governor and board of trustees.
 More land has been donated by Hon. French Majors adjoining the school property, and permanent buildings will be erected Miss Tutwiler has gener- ously waived her right to collect salary until the school begins. and use all the appropriations, together with the money contributed by the citizens, in the erec- tion of much finer buildings than was at first proposed.
 She is enthusiastic over the prospects, and her practical and sound business sense, coupled with her magnificent suc- cess in he past insures the grandest in stitution for girls in the south. She was delighted over the grounds and espe- cially the large grove of oaks which was added to the donation today.
 Work will begin as soon as the plans suggested are passed on by the board
 An electric light plant is now being ag- itated; also water works both of which can probably be put in operation cheaper here than at any point in the state

HOWARD WRITES IN JAIL.
Emphatically Declines to Give Railroads
 More Time.

More Time.
 Joliet, H., July 14.-M. S. Decker, as- sistant secretary of the interstate com merce commission of Washington, sent a telegram to George Howard, secretary of the American Industrial union, now in jail in this city, in reference to an ex- tension of time by the railroad companies that have neglected to provide their cars with safety appliances designated by congress.
 Mr. Howard replied: "On behalf of our railway employees I earnestly object to any extension of time to railroad com panies for equipping their cars with safe ty appliances as required by law. Near ly 5000 of the people of this nation are killed and more than 30,000 are wounded each year by failure of our railroad com panies to equip their cars and tracks with appliances to protect life and limb in accordance with law.
 When employees are only charged with violating the interstate commerce law they get no extension of time for any thing. unless it be an extension of term in some jail for such alleged violation, and fines provided for are always promptly assessed and collected and never remit ted. Let the law be enforced against all citizens of this country alike"
