BLAZE IN EAST BIRMINGHAM.
Plant of the East Birmingham Hardware Spe
 cialty Company Destroyed.


 Fire destroyed the East Birmingham Hardware Speciality works at East B.r- mingham yesterday morning about 4 o'clock.
 The origin of the fire is unknown though the night watchman says he first saw it in the front part of the building.
 The plant which was built about three years ago, was formerly known as the East Birmingham Sad Iron works, but on requirement of the property a year or two ago by the Doughertys the name was changed to the East Birmingham Hardware Speciality company
 The original cost of the plant was $25,- 900, but financial matters caused a reor- ganization of the company when it was capitalized at $1S,000, with Thomas Dougherty of Allentown, Pa. as presi- dent, and George H. Dougherty as treas urer and general manager.
 The plant has been running for some time, giving employment to twenty-five men.
 The building and machinery were n- sured for $7000 in companies represented by John G. Smith &. Co.,. Crowder & Co. and the Birmingham Underwriters as- sociation.

 Gadsden, Jan. 14.-(Special)-The quiet and peaceful little city of Centre near here, was thrown into an intense state of excitement at noon today by the report that Shelly Mcconnell, son of Attorney John L. Mcconnell, had shot and killed himself with suicidal intent. Shelly, his brother Joe and his father had some words at their home last night. Shelly became enraged, left home and vowed that he would not return again. He stayed with friends during the night and at noon today he closed his store and re turned home While standing on the porch with his father the quarrel was renewed. which again angered Shelly.

it did not want for inspiration and en-

his handkerchief held aloft, and $4,000

wild enthusiasm. The black mass OF
delegates and alternates in the pit
seemed to also arise en- masse, save for
here and there a delegate. An Ohio

carried to the platform and an enor.
