A SPIRITED ELECTION
For Officers of the Birmingham Building and Loan Association Number of
 Shares Represented.

The Birmingham Building and Loan association had their annual election of officers last night and it was by far the most interesting and exciting ever had since it's Inauguration in 1879.
 At the hour of netting, 8 o'clock the office of the association was packed with stockholders, and 1t was very evident a hot contest was in the air. Some of the shareholders had formed @ slate of di- rectors to succeed the old board, and an effort was also made to elect MT. s. E. Laird as president, to succeed MT. F. w. Dixon, who has held the office since May 1, 1884.
 As. will be seen by the results of the election the slate of directors was suc- cessful, but the presidency fell to Mir. Nabers.
 Messrs. s. D. Weakley and Charles Senn were appointed a committee to in vestigate the proxies and report on same, and this work occupied three full hours. Then followed the polling and casting up of votes, which resulted as follows
 For president-F. D. Nabers II ,549; S. D. Laird, 8038.
 For vice president-P. H. Earle. 11.692; James A. Going, 1276.
 For secretary and treasurer-W. B. Sommerville, 17,930. y.
 For directors-H. l.. Badham, 14610; l.. G. Woodson, 13,4S7; w. J. Dangaix, 13.42: S. D. Weakley, 12,77S; Bert Jacobs, 12.7O7; J. H. McCary, 11.99S; James A. Co., ing. Il SIP; J. B. Francis, 11,622; William Hood, 8309; W. s. Brown, 7496; w. J. Cam eron. 6S07; E.. L. Bridges, 5672; S. E. Laird, 2422. The first seven named were elected.
 The association was organized in April, 1879, with the following officers: Presi- dent, Charles F. Williamson; vice presi- dent, William l.. Guide; secretary, I. R.. Hochstadter; treasurer, F. P. O'Brien; directors, c. T. Hardman, J. B. Luckie, w. A. Cook. B. A. Thompson, F. D. Ma bers, c. w. White and H. T. Beggs.

ANXIOUS ABOUT HIS GOAT.
Benny Had to Consult His Mother at an Un
 seasonable Hour.

Benny Had to Consult His Mother at an Un-
 seasonable Hour. New York World.
 Mamma, I want a goat" announced little Benny Bloobumper one day.
 You have plenty of things to play with, Benny" replied his mamma. 'I'm afraid you can't have goat"
 But mamma, all the little boys have goats. Freddy Bangles has a lovely big billy, with whiskers, and he bitches him to little wagon and rides around all the time"
 'I can't help it, Benny. Freddy's father has a much larger income than your father has. and he can afford to buy a goat"
 The question dropped here. but negotia- tions were reopened at the breakfast ta- ble next morning by Benny in the pres- ence of MT. Bloobumper. After much dis cussion on the subject 1t was finally de- cided that Benny could have goat for his birthday present, the birthday being due in about week.
 All that day Benny Bloobumper was busy thinking about the goat which was soon to be his, and his mind was still dwelling on the theme when he was put to bed.
 "Oh, mamma" said he. "I wish my birthday was tomorrow"
 "N hy, Benny?'
 Don't you know, mamma? The goat I'm to get.''
 "Wen, Benny, the sooner you go to sleep the quicker tomorrow will arrive"
 Mrs. Bloobumper kissed her little boy and left him, after tucking him snugly in his little bed. Several hours later she retired herself and went to sleep. She had been asleep a good while when she awoke to hear the clock strike and to be startled by little white-clad form at her bedside.
 Mrs. Bloobumper gave little shrlek.
 Its only me, mamma" said Benny.
 What's the matter, Benny? Why don't you go to sleep? What made you get up?"
 T can't sleep. mamma. for thinking about my goat"
 "Oh, nonsense, Benny. Go back to bed and go to sleep, right away"
 But mamma, I wanted to ask your advice about my goat" , What do you want to ask?"
 q want to know if you think it would be better to get a billy goat or just a plain goat?"
 Mrs. Bloobumper thought this a very unrea sonable question to discuss at such an unreasonable hour and so Benny was sent back to bed with a vigorous scold- ing.

THEMSELVES IN EUROPE
Railroad and Packing House Employees
 Wanted as Witnesses


 Chicago, H., May 1.-The prospect is not bright for successful investigation of the alleged beef trust and violations of the interstate commerce law by railroad men by the federal grand jury, which as- sembles in this city next Monday It is known that only three men for whom subpoenas have been issued for weeks have been served. They are: A. R. Fay, freight manager for the packing firm of Swift G Co.,; c. l.. Thomas, freight so- Hctting agent for the Chicago and Erie, and c. E. Davis, confidential man with Nelson Morris 6 Co. Several detectives have been assisting United States mar shals in the still hunt for the freight agents of railroads and shippers, but they were quick to scent trouble ahead for themselves and higher officials. All but the unfortunate three men went into hiding, being given unlimited vacations on salary. Some went to Europe and others to various parts of the country. "A few are in Canada for their health It is common talk tha substitutes are at work for many employees of Armour, Swift, Morris, Fowler Brothers and other packers at their stock yards, offices and down town, while many new faces are seen in the city freight offices of the rail- roads.
 MT Fay, the first man to be caught by a subpoena, was packing his trunk pre- paratory to going to Europe when the deputy marshal entered his house. The alarm was then given at the yards and MT. Davis was the only man caught out of scores wanted.
 MT. Swift has gone to Europe and MT. Morris, whose testimony is wanted at the forthcoming trial of Ex-President Rein hart and Ex-Traffic Manager Hanley of the Santa Fe, have also joined the Eu- ropean colony. In this connection it is said that w. P. Jenkins of the Hammond company, who was relied on to prove a case against these indicted ex-ofiiclals, cannot be found and the present address of the Santa F'e ex-employe who brought about the indictments, is now unknown. Under these circumstances there is likely to be a mistriaI. Isaac Thompson, the Kansas City cattle buyer Is the only inn- portant witness who has been sub- poenaed.

Harrison Comedies MoKinley's Nomination

Ind1anapoI1s, Ind, May I.-The fr1ends of Ex-President Harrison admit that Me- Kinley's nomination Is assured, and that the moral effect of the action of the Illi- nois republican convention yesterday will inspire the Mckinley men here to insist on instructions. Col. John c. New, who is very close to General Harrison, said today that Mckinley would be nomi- mated, and while 1t did not necessarily follow that Indiana would instruct for him, it would have the effect of securing delegates at large who would be pro- nounced Mckinley men.

THIRD EDITION.
LINDSLEY HORSEWHlPPED.
While Playing lago Woman keaped Upon the Stage and Gave Him Good
 Licking.

Columbus, O., May 1.-In the third act of "Othello" tonight Louis James lead ing man, Guy Lindsley, was horse whipped on the stage in full view of the audience by woman who leaped at that moment from one of the boxes whip in hand. At the station house later she gave her name as Georgia Kimball and said her home was in St. Louis. The as- sault was made a the close of the act where Othello seizes Iago and chokes him. James was playing Othelo and LindSley Iago. James was dumbfound ed. He stood speechless on the stage, while Lindsey, recognizing his assail- ant, rose to his feet stammering to James, This woman is from St. Louis," while the audience went wild with ex- citement Without the least interfer- ence being made the woman continued to belabor Lindsley about the head and shoulders. Finally some one rung the curtain down and policeman rushed in and placed the woman under arrest. The play proceeded with the rest of the act omitted.
 After the play Lindsley said he had known the woman for some time, and at one time they were quite friendly, She had no claim on him, but for some time had seemed to be infatuated with him. He had been annoyed by her and was un- able to get rid of her attentions.
 Sne Sdld LlndSley was tOfmerly her lover and that they had arranged to be married, but the time was never set. Un- der the influence of her mother and his brother he had discarded her. His people were very aristocratic and wealthy res idents of St. Louis and did not like her because she was country girl originally. His scorn had so enraged her that she came directly from St. Louis to admin ister this 1ogging. She arrived this even ing, having bought the whip in St. Louis, and secured box for her purpose. She sat back in the box so he could not see her, and at the point in the play which she had carefully selected she leaped upon the stage and punished him. She showed a number of letters written to her by Lindsley, the earlier of which are full of love, but the latter ones tell her that they must break off their relations.
