ADMISSION CHAT.
A Young Man Dies from a Fall-Canddate
Goodwin Makes an Excuse for Voting
-- for Murray.

Admission, July 15.-(SpecaLJ-Mr
Claude Harrell, aged "a years. died here
yesterday at the home of his widowed
mother, Mrs. Emma V. Harrell, and will
be buried tomorrow morning at Hillside
cemetery. He was a bolt maker by trade,
and six weeks since went to Knoxville
to work in the Southern railway shops
there. Three weeks ago tonight he was
taken sick, and going to a window of his
room, which was in the third story of a
boarding house, he opened ut and sat
down in 1t to get some fresh air, when
he lost his balance and fell to the pave
ment, SIS or 40 feet below. He was
brought home on July 3, but never recov-
cred from the injuries received, which
finally resulted in his death.
Messrs. E. H. Hubbard, Jr., and James
Beattie, representing the Russell Manu-
featuring company, which has seven
large cotton mills In Connecticut ana
Massachusetts, spent yesterday and last
night here, and this morning went up to
Rome, from which place they will return
home. Mr.. Hubbard is son of the presi-
dent of the company, and Mr.. Beattie is
the company's general superintendent.
The company intends locating branch
in the south, and Messrs. Hubbard and
Beattie have been in Alabama and
Georgia for two weeks looking over pro-
posed sites and investigating the ad-
yantages possessed by different places.
They expressed themselves as being
highly pleased with what they learned
here, and paid Admission the marked
compliment of coming here twice. The
information gathered will be laid before
the other officers and members of the
company and a location then selected.
The company manufactures cotton belt
ing, back-bands webbing and products
of that kind. ,n
Albert T. Goodwin, fusion candidate
for governor, spoke here yesterday in
the Noble Street theater to an audience
of about 600 people, a large number of
whom were democrats, the populiSt por-
ton being not only from this county, but
Clay. ST. Clair, Cleburne and Talladega,
assisting in making a populistic attend
ance of respectable size. The speech
was on the same old lines and proved a
very tame affair. generating painfully
small amount of enthusiasm. GOODWIN
lavishly abused the democrats, but had
no word ,of denunciation for the republic
ans About tine only new feature was a
new defense of his vote for the negro
Murray which was that four years ago
Murray received a certificate of election
from the democratic canvassing board
of South Carolina and that Cleveland has
appointed negroes to office. His State-
ment that the canvaSsing board gave
Murray a certificate of election four
years ago and declined to give it two
years ago was considered by many good
evidence. that Murray was not elected
in the last election, and was therefore
voted to give him. 1t is not believed that
the cause of democracy and good gov
eminent was in any manner injured by
the efTuSiOn. .,

From the Camp.

Montgomery, July 15.-(Special)-
There is absolutely no news at the capt.
toll now. Governor Oates Is in the wire
grass counties making speeches and
working hard for the democratic ticket,
state and national. The supreme court
is in recess. Most OF the judges have
gone in search of health and strength
and Clerk Wood and his family are en-
joying q sojourn at st. Simons island.
The auditors department always has
some routine work on hand, but nothing
of interest Is happening even there. At
torney General Fits has abandoned his
office for the stump, and Secretary jack
son is engaged with some political work
on the outside.
News From the Camp.
The routine of camp work was broken

than on yesterday. The officers in
charge of the camp are conducting it for
the best interests of the military and
there Is much less clsp-trap and mock
soldier doings than heretofore The
Birmingham boys are the favorites. 1t
does not appear that the encampment
could be a success without them. They
are not only among the best soldiers on
the field, but they are well disciplined
and regulated and keep their quarters
and their horses in splendid shape. The
Birmingham contingent reports that the
encampment so far has been big sue

HANNA AND HIS HENCHMEN
Hold Meeting Behind Closed Doors
Headquarters Question Settled.

Cleveland, o., July 15.-The republican
national executive committee have de-
cided to locate headquarters both at
New York and Chicago The eight
members of the committee had all ar
rived this morning, and shortly after 10
O'Clock they went into secret session at
Mr.. Hanna's rooms in the Perry Payne
building, with Ex-United States Marshal
William Haskell as sergeant-at-arms.
Nothing has yet been decided regarding
the ninth member of the executive COM
mittee, although 1t is said this morning
if Senator Thurston will not accept the
place it will be offered to r. C. Kerens Of
Missouri. In this connection it is said
that Mr.. Hanna was not aware until
after the eighth member named had been
selected that he had power under the
resolution authorizing the appointment
of the committee to make it consist of
nine members beside himself. Hence the
delay in choosing the last man.
The committee remained in session IN
til l O'Clock, when a brief intermission
was had for lunch. During the morning
no interruption had been allowed, ne
cards were sent and no messages.
Luncheon was partaken of in the build
ing and by o'clock the deliberations of
the committee were resumed. Later the
announcement was made that the head
quarters question had been settled as
stated above.

Arthur L. Brown, Chairman Democratic
Campaign Committee, Hartselle, Ala:
After reading the platform made by the
recent national convention of the demo-
cratic party and the speech of that great
and good man, Hon. w. j. Bryan, L am
thoroughly convinced there no longer re-
mains any necessity for a division of our
people upon the great questions now con-
fronting us. l have been afiiiiatlng with
the populist party now for several years,
but now believing that we have in the
democratic party the best platform ever
formed before by any organization, and
the most gallant leader since Andrew
Jackson, and believing that the platform
of the democratic party of Alabama is
good enough for all our people, and that
its leader, Hon. Joseph f. Johnston, is
an able and good man, l could not do
anything in justice to myself having in
mind the best interests of the people of
Alabama, but return to what I now con-
slider the old-fashioned and rehabilitated
democracy.
l shall now use my best efforts to in
fluence my friends to support the plat
forms of our state and national demo-
cratic party; and shall use my influence
in behalf Of the state and county ticket
of the democratic party.

TO Coin More Silver.

washington, July Blowing to the
fact that the amount or silver dollars
in the treasury available for redemp-
ton of treasury notes has become re-
duced to $10659,5S2, and will be further
reduced by redemption during the cur
rent month, the coinage of silver dol
lars by the mints will be increased from
81, 500, 900 to 100000 per month from the
1st of August, and will probably be con-
tinued at that rate in order that the
treasury may have sufficient stock TO
redeem treasury notes presented IN eA-
change for silver dollars.
On the LIST of March, 1893, the treasury
held 29,390, ISL standard silver dollars for
the redemption of treasury notes issued
under the act of July. 1890. Today the
number of silver dollars held by the
treasury for the redemption of treasury
notes is 10.659.5S2. Since the LIST OF March,
1898, the coinage of silver dollars has
aggregated II 9S3056. OF this sum, how
ever. s2.311,677 was profit or seigniorage.
which leaves s9.671, $40 for the redemption
of treasury notes. The amount OF treas,
ury notes redeemed in silver dollars ana
