One-fourth of the peo- pie who wished to pay their respects to Mrs. Davis and her daughter, Mrs Hayes, could not gain admission to the building. Miss Winnie Davis was de- tained in New York by sprained ankle Mrs. Davis bowed her acknowledgements from front windaw of the house and Mrs. Hayes and her little. son were simi- larly engaged from rear window of the house. . ~
 At this hour d1 p. m.) there is still large crowd vainly endeavoring to gain admittance.
 Corporal Tanner, who is an honorary member of R. B. Lee Confederate camp, and Major Halleck. his companion, who are here, were rendered right royal re- ception by the camp tonight, and the two union veterans are the lions of the hour. It is estimated that there are 3O,00O vis- itors n the city tonight. The crowd is immense and the streets are thronged.

KILKENNY CAT FIGHT ON.
They Are Trying to Crowd Bill Stevens Out 10 the Band Wagon-The Result
 Is Obscure.

Anniston. June 30-(Special) )-There is the biggest kind of wrangle on in this city and county, the home of the Hon. William J. Stevens, colored, among the republicans, there being two factions Prior to the St. Louis convention the Moseley, anti-Stevens, anti Vaughan and anti-McKinley faction was in the saddle, with l.. T. Smith as chairman of the coun- ty executive committee. After the con vention, at which Bill Stevens and his crowd were victorious. call was issued for a mass meeting here Saturday after noon, the stated object being to effect an organization loyal to Vaughan, Mckinley, Hobart and the new national committee, it being held that l.. T. Smith, who was in the anti-Vaughan, anti-McKinley con- ventions at Calera and Montgomery, was ineligible as chairman.
 The mass meeting was held, and such a scene of wild and really woody confus'. \ was never witnessed here before. Bezn factions were on hand, and both claim to have been victorious. The anti-Stevens crowd claims to have adopted resolutions indorsng all the powers that be from Me- Kinley down to the county organization, of which L. T. Smith Is at the head. The Stevens faction, however, declares that Wash DeArman, colored, who was an original Mckinley man, was elected coun- ty chairman with an entirely new com mittee. So great was the wrangle 1t is practically impossible to learn which side, if either, is telling the truth. Chairman DeArman has called meeting of his com mittee to decide what the republicans of Calhoun county should do in the ap- preaching elections. 1t being claimed that this power was delegated the new com mittee by the mass meeting. Bill Stevens claims to have acted under instructions from State Chairman Vaughan in calling the mass meeting and dethroning County Chairman l.. 1T. Smith.

The Animals Seized With = Strange Mad
ness When In Peril.

The panic that is inspired In the mindI
of horses by phenomenon so strange az
fire can be understood only by those who
have witnessed fire in large stable
where numbers of horses are kept The
scene that ensues is one OF the most fright
ful that can be conceived. The horses ARE
rescued from the burning building with
the utmost difficulty and only with the
most serious peril to the lives and limbs
nf the rescuors The animals go mau WITH

50 wildly as to mako an attempt al
l,scuc as pcgilOus as an advance on
hostile battery When rescued, they Will
often break away from those who hold
them and chorgo back at full speed into
the burning building, there to perish IN
tho flamos They resist every attempt to
take them out. They have boon known tc
tear their Jcscucrs with their teeth, To
throw them TO the ground and trample on
them, to kick out their brains.
As the fury of the flames increases sc
does the panic of the unfortunate animals.
They scream out in their agony as the lire
reaches their bodies, yet Will thoy not fof
all that seek safety in the opon air. They
arc craZed with fear and yet remain to be
burned to death when ton seconds run
would carry thelu to liberty. But they
never mako the run, and as rule, art
burned alive in their stalls, where alone
they seem tu fancy they can find security,
There is bus ouo way to get them out anc
that is To blind thcm with some conVen'
