An Interesting Reading by Professor Will

 Hams.
 Auburn, Feb. 17.-(Special)-Prof Hannibal Williams gave a readily from Shakespeare. Friday night in Langdon hall Prof .C.Thatch in introducing the reader said that MT. Williams would give a reading of the great historical play of Henry "
 The audience was large and proba bly, as capable of appreciating genuine pro- duction of this high order as would be found in the state. The fact that MT. Williams held the most careful attention of this audience for full two hours Is high praise of the most appreciated kind.
 An analysis of each scene was given by the reader before the reading. so that every one could have a clear run of the characters and incidents. The reading or rendering of these plays by MT. Williams is entirely from memory, and hence in a natural and forcible style. MT Williams is especially strong as Sir John Falstaf. Prof. A. F. McKissick of the Alabama Polytechnic institute has very success fully reproduced the now celebrated ex- periments of Professor Rolutgen of Wurzberg by photographing through wood, card board, paper and the human hand. In one of the experiments he places a plate sensitized in plate holder, which is impervious to sunlight. The ar- ticles to be photographed are placed on the top of the plate, holder. A tube is lighted up for five minutes. When ticles placed on the plate Is distinctly seen. In another experiment he places a key and book in a thick paSteboard box.

 cape and found their way to the ground safely.
 The crush on the stairway was some thing frightful. About 200 men and girls attempted to make their escape by this exit at the same time. Many were trampled under foot the ones who were in front were knocked from their feet and thrown to the landings, and some are said to have been left unconscious on the stairway.
 The spread of the flames was remarka- ble. There was a strong wind blowing at the time and in less than 1t takes to tell it the building was afire from top to bottom. Twenty streams of water seem ed to have no effect and there was every indication early in the evening that the entire block would be consumed. The fire extended to the big structure north and gutted it. The Western Union building was burned out, and 1t was not until about four hours after the big fire start ed that 1t was under control The loss will bly, reach $400000
 The three women who were killed by jumping from the windows were almost unrecognizable when picked up, so fear fully were their heads crushed.
 Superintendent of Police Willard made a careful investigation this evening and reported shortly after midnight that 1t is almost certain that twelve girls were burned up in the building.

ASHVILLE.
Republicans and Populites Will Not Fuse.
 County for Johnston.


 Ashville, Feb. 17.-(Special. al.)-Politics in St. Clair is growing interesting. By the aid of the republicans the populists de- feated the democrats by overwhelming majorities in 1892 and 1894. but it seems that populism and republicanism don't mix up here For some time the republi- cans have manifested feelings of dissat- isfaction and all doubts of their inten- tions were removed or Saturday, Feb ruary 15. They met here at that time in county mass meeting, and besides in- dorsing Mckinley in strong terms for president they nominated a county tick ct, consisting of conservative and com petent men. The populists hold their primaries on Thursday for the purpose of nomina ting their county officers. The democrats will doubtless not put a ticket in the field, but will watch the fight be- tween the populists and their old repub- lican allies.
 Messrs. Vaughan and Alexander of Birmingham and Attalla respectively were present at the republican mass meeting on Saturday last and took part in the proceedings.
 St. Clair democracy is we'll organized and for Johnston for governor by large majority.

County Executive Committee Meets and

 Calls Primary Elections.
 Marion, Feb. 17.-(Specia1)- dem ocratic executive committee met here Saturday. It was resolved to hold beat meetings on April II for the purpose of electing delegates to the county conven- ltion to be held on the 18th. This conven- ton will nominate two representatives and elect delegates to the state conven- ton, and will also elect a new executive committee for the county. The qualifica- tiOns of electors are the same as prescrib- ed by the state committee, restricted to white voters.
 The county primaries will be held in the different beats on March IT for the purpose of nominating county officers, the committeeman to make returns to the chairman of the executive committee the next day. The executive committee is to ascertain the strength of different candidates and declare the result. The rules governing the primaries are simi- lar to the laws regulating general cleo tions.
 lites met In the court house today. Dr. c. G. Grove of Birmingham was present and participated in the discussions. It was resolved to hold primaries all over the county on the 21st day of March, for the purpose of nominating county ticket and delegates to a convention. This convention will select delegates to the state convention. Many of the lead ing populists opposed putting out a county ticket at all.

THEY WILL FIGHT FRIDAY.
Continued From First Page. )

 explicitly stated that Fitzsimmons would fight on Friday. It was due almost solely to the coolness displayed by Connolly and Stuart that the conference did not break up in bloody fracas. Of the mob of 200 sports and ringers on the other side of the partition fully nine-tenths were armed and ready to shoot on the slightest provocation. Neither Connolly nor Fitzsimmons carry a gun, but when the latter shaking with passion, fiercely shrieked his opinion, coupled with sun dry unprintable epithets, that Maher was a stiff. buffer and coward, Connolly seized a heavy paper weight and answer ed with a taunt that Fitzsimmons had 1unked from meeting Corbett.
 Then it was that Fitzsimmons shouted that the fight was off and left the room. Fitzsimmons was inclined to repudiats the decision of the conference on the for felt question, but later cooled down and began training.
 Reports from Las Cruces tonight say that Maher is improving. and the doctor has given him permission to do some work in the gymnasium tomorrow. The additional forfeit was posted tonight. The battle ground Is as much of mys- tery to all but the promoters as ever. When the point was pressed by Connolly in the conference today Stuart replied without moving a muscle: "The ground and the ring are ready"

Farmers are Preparing for Crop-Politics
 Will Begin to Boil Soon.
 Louisville. Feb 17.-(Special)- )-Nothing of unusual importance has happened here of late. S
 The farmers in this section. despite the rainy and bad weather, are very busily engaged preparing for another crop, which, judging from the amount or guano and number of mules sold, will De unuS- ually large, but not all cotton; We heard one farmer say yesterday that he had sowed 100 acres in oats. This is great "hog and hominy" section. and our peo- pie will not soon forget their past ex- perience.
 The political pot has not yet begun to boil much in old Barbour, but 1t will soon, and then there will be fun in the air The executive committee of this county has not yet met, and until they meet it will be a difficult matter to forecast the poli- tics of old Barbour. There Is considera- ble talk of Johnston and Clarke, and from the best information your correspondent can gather, Captain Johnston is far in the lead and will surely carry Barbour Some are even Sangune enough to De- lieve Johnston will carry every beat In the county except Eufaula and even there he has a good following. There are hundreds of men who voted for Kolb that will vote for Johnston If he is nominated, but will not Vote for MT. Clarke under any circumstances. And then there are others, and they are not few, who do, not exactly agree with Captain Johnston in his views on silver, but will gladly vote for him because of his valiant service to the democratic party of Alabama. It was perfectly natural that Governor Oates should have carried the Third district in the gubernatorial race in 1894, as he had represented it so long in congress, but his lease expires with his service and your correspondent feels sure that Captain Johnston will get large majority of the Third district, if not its solid delegation.
