ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE
The Seventy-Seventh Anniversary of the Order Appropriate and Patriotic Songs and
 Speeches.

Sunday was the seventy-seventh anni- versary of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and was appropriately observed on that day and last night.
 On Sunday morning Triple Link loage No. 150 of North Birmingham held appro- priate services at the North Birmingham Methodist church. Rev. George w. Reed, pastor of the church, delivered a most appropriate and impressive sermon, eulo- gizing the order and dwelling at great length upon its teachings.
 The three lodges of this city had been invited to Join Triple Link lodge in the observance of the day. and more than 100 of them, together with large delegation of members of the Rebekah, went out These were met at Twenty-frst avenue and escorted to the church in a body. The interior of the house of worship was tastily decorated with flowers and pot plants. The music and vocal selections were in keeping with the exercises.
 The pastor took for his text Psalm 131, 1: Behold how good and how pleasant 1t is for brethren to dwell together in unity"
 Grand Master Thomas H. Holt closed the services with an appropriate prayer

RAILWAY FOLKS AND FACTS.
Mobile Happy Over the Assurance of Another
 Connection.

Mobile is greatly elated over the new road, known as the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City railroad. The proposed road has been a speculation for a long time, and for a while lately looked to be a mere myth. But MT. R. Dane and his co-workers on the committee to raise the necessary $125,000 of the fund never gave up and kept hammering away, until now they make an announcement of their success. The Mobile Register of Sunday has nearly page devoted to the subject and has the following flaming headlines over the article: 'The railroad will be built The $125,000 subscribed and the fund completed. It was popular sub- scripton, with 693 names on the list"
 The announcement of Chairman R. Dane reads thusly:
 The collecting committee who had in hand the soliciting of subscriptions for the purpose of building the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City railroad is pleased to announce to the public that the whole of the $125,000 of stock neces- sary to raise the amount required of the city of Mobile has been taken This amount has been subscribed by 693 of our public spirited citizens, showing that all classes of our people are in favor of the road. This committee desires to tender to a generous public Its thanks for their response to the calls made upon them, and to those persons who have assisted the committee with their services and influence we wish to acknowledge our selves under lasting obligations.
 Having performed our labors and clos-' ed up the amount necessary, we will now report to the board of directors, being assured that work will commence on this enterprise at once.

 The farewell address was to have been delivered by Grand Master Holt, but he had gone elsewhere to install a lodge, and Past Grand Master Jones made few remarks in his stead.
 The vocal selections and musical num- bers were delightful and greatly enjoyed.
 The entertainment was closed in be- fitting manner by the Rebekahs. Ice cream, cake and fruits were served to all and greatly enjoyed.
 Those present not members of the order voted it a grand affair and wished for the Odd Fellows an endless career of good.

CRAP SHOOTERS CORALLED Successful Raid on a Busy Gam
 bling Party. FORTY-FOUR MEN ARRESTED Members and Patrons of the 0Iivette Club Visited and Interrupted by
 the Police.

As the State Herald has often had occa- sion to say, Birmingham should feel proud of her police service.
 Through her present police regulations "bad Birmingham" is being rapidly trans formed into "better and best Birming- ham,"
 Law-breakers have long since learned this is no place for them while the tramps and idlers who once looked upon the coke ovens in winter as a pleasant rendezvous and our parks and shady hooks as inviting spots In which to bask in summer have learned by experience that prison barracks are near by, and the hard times have placed many streets in need of repair.
 And in local matters our peace officers have not been idle in bringing about much needed reformations.
 The most important move for a year was made last Saturday night when the blue coats raided one of the most corrupt gambling hellS with which this city has ever been cursed.
 The worst, from the fact that men and boys of all ages were allowed to partici- pate and place their earnings on the tables of chance.
 The scheme of capture was planned by Chief of Police Mcdonald and Night Captain Weir, assisted by some of their most trusty subordinates.
 The place was located over the Stag saloon, corner of Third avenue and Twen- tieth street, and known as the Olivette club. In the room at the time of capture were two long tables, where men and boys and some experienced gamblers were playing the game known as "craps." At n small table near by were others playing cards in a game known as "penuckle."
 It was between 12 and 1 o'clock Satur- day night when, according to arrange ment, Officers Brezendine, Kirkley, Rollo, Nix, Bodeker, Duncan and Elard, led by Captain Weir, ascended the little stair way that led up into the modern hades with Fiddler's Green variation. The officers had secured a key to the outer door, and, after ga hing access to the in- ner door, had little trouble in entering the inner chamber. Having gained en- trance an outer guard who was one of the truest officers that wears uniform, was left to guard the only way or eS- cape.
 The game was at it's height There were forty-four at the tables, on which lay $141 in silver and crisp notes. Among the number were men and boys of all ages, from men whose wives were nurs- ing hungry babes from a starved breast to men who boast good bank account and high social standing; boys whose fathers and mothers, and, in some in- stances, employers hold above sus- picion, to the lowest scum that patrols the street.
 As was natural, many of the better class plead for mercy and asked that they be not exposed. For the sake of the Christian mothers and that the lesson here taught may prove a restoration to the youths implicated who may not have appreciated the full bent of their way wardness, the State Herald draws the veil over the names of all.
 The cases will come up before Judge Feagn of the inferior court this morn- ing and a majority of the offenders have intimated their intention to plead guilty.

LOUISIANA ELECTION TROUBLES.
Troops Ordered Out to Prevent Populists
 and Democrats From Fighting.


 and Democrats From Fighting. . New Orleans, April Ex-Governor Eos ter this morning ordered two companies of militia to Natchtoches, where trouble has been brewing, growing out of the counting of the votes in that parish
 The troops left at 10 o'clock and were due at Natchitoches, which is about 255 miles northwest, at p. m.
 Special dispatches today from Natchi- toches to the Daily States represent that a much better feeling prevails there this evening between the democrats and pop ulists and the vote will probably be pro- mulgated tonight.
 The point at issue is the absolute con- trol of the legislature by the democrats, excluding the twenty members elected in New Orleans by the Citizens league and one independent democrat from Ouach- ita. The democrats have one majority in the senate and the indications are they will get the two representatives from Natchitoches. They will thus have a majority of all the members. It is un- derstood a majority of the members elected from New Orleans will go into the democratic caucus. Natchitoches has been an armed camp for two days, but wise counsels have prevailed and there is no violence anticipated now.
