IN THREE-LINK CIRCLES. The Odd Fellows Will Hold Memorial Service Next Sunday-City and County
 Lodges Prospering.

The Odd Fellows of this city contem- plate observing their memorial day occa- sion this year by a sermon in one of the city churches next Sunday by one of our prominent pastors. Due notice will be given of the place and other essentials through the newspapers. The order has lost during the past year two of the most prominent past officials in the state and one of the most energetic workers in our city, and the occasion will be of mournful interest on this account.
 While the weather of the past week has been warm, the meetings of the local lodges have been well attended. On Fri day night Birmingham lodge No 112, In dependent Order Odd Fellows, conferred the degree of friendship upon two candi- dates which was witnessed by fair at tendance of members and goodly num- Der of visitors.
 All the lodges in the county report an abundance of degree work, Bessemer es- pecially, having IS much as they can do. Pratt City also is hard at work making Odd Fellows, and the future is bright with promise
 Christine Rebekah lodge No 1T meet to- morrow night and d good time is antici- pated.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
Return of Governor 0ates-As to the Meeting of the Commercial Association-Milling
 Business improving.

Montgomery, June 6.-(Special)-GoY ernor Oates has returned from Tallade- ga, where he went to attend the meeting of the board of trustees of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind institutes there. He re- ports the three schools to be in splendid condition, the combined membership this year being 253. The Deaf and Blind in- stitute for negroes had fifty-six in at tendance this year. All of the officers or the institutions were reelected and cofn- plimented by the trustees for their good work, the governor says.
 The State League Meeting.
 The Alabama Commercial association will meet in annual session in this elly on Wednesday, June 10. A very large at- tendance is expected and the probabln- ties are that all of the commercial bodies in the state will be represented.
 Milling Business Improving.
 Reports from the gulf coast say that the milling business is picking up most gratifyingly. The price of SaWn timber has increased materially, and almost all of the mills in the south Alabama ana west Florida section are running on iuli time and turning out a quantity or lum- Der. A number of large mills which have been shut down for several years past have recently resumed work and the out look is most encouraging.
 Personal and Social.
 MT Nj E. Johnson leading dry goods salesman of this city, and Miss Nellie B. Stubbs the charming daughter Of Hon. Thomas B. Stubbs. were married at the residence of the brides father on Column bus street last night, Rev. Dr. Dickinson officiating. Elegant refreshments were served to the select circle of friends pres ent. Both the contracting parties are very popular here, and receive cordial good wishes.
 MT. w. D. Jelks, the affable editor of the Eufaula Times, Is in the city today.
 MT. J. E. Graves of the Brundidge News, one of the most versatile writers on the state press, is in the city.
 Hon. George W. Ellis, democratic nom- inee for state treasurer, is recuperating his health at Talladega Springs.
 MT. and Mrs. B. T. Eley, from Union Springs, stopped over at the Mabson last night with about twenty young ladies from Nelson college.
 George c. Smith, the able and popu- lar young president of the Western rail- way of Alabama and Atlanta and West Point railroad, has been elected a mem- ber of the Montgomery Commercial and Industrial association. Mir. Smith has thoroughly identified himself both per senally and officially with all the best in- terests of Montgomery.

 In 1894 the county boiled 9156 votes. Of this number Colonel Oates received 4589 and Captain Kolb 4567 If Jefferson county votes her full strength in August she will poll just twice as many as in 1894.
 While the increase in the other coun- ties has not been as great as in Jefferson county, yet in a great many of them it is from one-fourth to one-third larger than the vote cast in 1894.
 George Swanton, the Hill beat com mitteeman, has fought a good fight for democracy in his beat. He has worked in season and out of season, and those who failed to register could not be found with a fine-tooth comb. Democrats like MT. Swanton are the kind Alabama is bringing to the front this year.
 John Harrington, president of the Hill Beat Democratic club, did yeoman service during the past week. He pulled off his coat, turned down his collar, rolled up his sleeves and from Monday morning until the books closed at 12 o'clock Saturday night, he was behind the young demo- crats interesting them in the importance of registering. His co-laborers are proud of his work, and will not refuse to honor him some day for his services.
 There are other young democrats who did telling work for their party, and who will long be remembered as the true-blue democrats and men whose services their party and their country will respect and honor

Looks Like a Bolt.

Chicago, June 6.-There was confer ence of gold standard democrats from all parts of Illinois at the Wellington hotel today to debate the advisability of hold ing a "bolting" state convention. A score of prominent men, many of them bankers and federal officeholders were present. Ex-Congressman Forman, the political lieutenant of William R. Morri- son, made a strongly protesting speech against the bolting idea, which originated with the Cook county faction, and urged that the radical political step be deferred until after the Peoria state and Chicago national convention of the party have passed into history. It was practically agreed to send a contesting delegation to Chicago in July so as to be prepared to have them seated if the majority of the convention is favorable. Speaking for the gold demands of Illinois, and plac- ing patriotism before party in their es- timation, the conference agreed that if the republican platform declares for gold and the democratic platform for silver, the gold democrats will vote for the re- publican ticket.
 If the republican money plank is not satisfactory the gold democrats will name an independent ticket, appealing to all citizens of like sentiment to support it. While they will not "bolt" the regular ticket unless compelled to, they decided to organize "honest money" clubs at once in every county of Illinois so as to be pre- pared to bolt. A permanent organiza- tion was effected with Charles A. Ewing, a Decatur banker and cousin of the vice president, as chairman.

PROSECUTION CLOSES.
Strong Case Made Against Walling-He
 Takes the Stand Tomorrow.

Takes the Stand Tomorrow.
 Cincinnati, June 6-The prosecution in the Walling trial closed Its case this af- ternoon, and just before the adjournment Colonel Washington announced that Walling would be the first witness in his own defense and would take the stand Monday morning. The evidence brought out today was very damaging to the pris- oner, and the impression prevails that a stronger case has been made against Walling that was made in the Jackson trial
 Colonel Dietsch, superintendent of po- lice of Cincinnati, was the principal wit ness of the day, and there was a fight from start to finish against his testimony by the attorneys for the defense.
 One strong point in his evidence was that Walling told Dietsch that he had met Pearl Bryan on the last Wednesday afternoon of her life in Cincinnati, at Fourth and Race streets. Jackson sent him there. Dietsch said that Walling ad- mitted having advised Jackson to give Pearl Bryan ergot; that he knew she was coming to the city; that he did not know what had become of her. Sheriff Plum mer swore that he showed Walling the hat and handkerchief found near the body. Walling said he thought that the hat was Pearl Bryan's and the handker- chief Jacksons. Walling said he knew in January that Jackson intended to kill the girl and said he tried to coax him not to do it.

LATEST RETURNS CONFIRM Atlanta Goes for Silver by Near
 Iy 2OOO. H0KE SMITHS OWN WARD Was Captured-AlI Precincts in Fulton County the Same Way-Victory in Every
 Part of the State.

Atlanta, June 6.-At midnight the indi- cations are that Atlanta has gone for sil- yer by nearly 2O00 majority. The coun- try precincts give silver majority of be- tween roo and 800, and the majority in the city will be nearly, If not quite, 1000. Secretary Smith loses his home ward, and not a ward in the city nor a pre- cinct in the country goes for gold. The official returns will not be announced un- til Mondays consolidation. Congressman Livingston has carried the county for re- nomination and Crisp carries the coun- ty by from 1500 to 200O.
 Reports of silver victories are coming in from every part of the state, all go- ing to show that the tide is running one way

Utah Sends Solid Silver Delegation.

salt Lake City, Utah, June b.-The dem- ocrats of Utah in convention today adopted a platform declaring for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, the di- vorce of church and state and elected the following delegates to the Chicago con- vention, instructed to vote for those principles: Moses Thatcher, B. c. Gam bers, o. w. Powers, H. w. Thurman, Ex- Congressman J. l.. Rawlins and David Evans.
 The first named is the Mormon apostle who was suspended because of his oppo- sition to the church interfering in politi- cal affairs. In this case the rules of the convention were suspended and he was nominated by exclamation, and was au- thorized in case the state of his health would not permit of his going to the con- vention to name his alternate.
 B. H. Roberts, the other Mormon church official who opposed the church last fall, but afterwards apologized and took it all back, was put in nomination for election as delegate, but was de- feated

HOLD HIM SHAMELESS.
The Coroner and His Jury Thoroughly Excul- pate MT. Paul Greene-Text of
 the Verdict.

Yesterday afternoon at the court house Coroner Jones and jury held inquest into the manner in which Josh Walker, colored came to his death The testi- mony heard accorded with the version of the sad affair given in these columns yesterday morning. The following is the verdict rendered:
 Criminal Court Room,
 Birmingham, June 6, 1896. We, the jury empaneled by R. E. Jones, coroner of Jefferson county, to inyesti- gate the killing of Josh Walker on the night of June A. at Elyton, in Jefferson county, Ala, find that said killing was done by Paul Greene under circum- stances which reasonably create the inn presslon that said Josh Walker was a burglar, armed and attempting to break into the house of Judge Samuel D. Green. Alter examining several witnesses and thoroughly considering all the circum- stances, we find that the killing was wholly eXcusable and iustifiable. (SigneO J. T. WILSON, ..

cLoUDBURsT n1 NEBRASKA. Wind and Hail With It-Much Damage
 Was Inflicted.


 Was Inflicted.
 Loup City, Neb., June 6.-The worst hail and wind storm and cloudburst eyer experienced in Sherman county struck this place at 7:45 o'clock last evening.
 The daughter of Joseph Mccoy was drowned in the flood. The Catholic church was blown to pieces. The Baptist church was moved 40 feet off its founda- ton. The barns and outbuildings of T. L. Pilger and Mrs. Bower are strung out for forty rods. A 60-foot bridge across Dead Horse creek was carried over 1000 feet. Both the Burlington and Union Pa- cific bridges are washed out, and 1t is re- ported that half mile of the Burlington track Is gone between here and Arcadia. Bridges all over the valley are either torn away or washed out by the cloudburst which followed the wind.
 At St. Paul the Loup river rose 15 feet in a few moments, fioa ting houses, but doing no great damage otherwise. The country districts suffered the worst, many families in the low lands being forced to flee to higher ground i0 save their lives.
 Much live stock drowned near Ord, and a dispatch from he place says there are fears of loss Of human life The roads are impassable. and t is impossible to investigate.

THE BOOKS SHUT UP AT F No More Registration Except in
 Special Cases. VERY GRATIFYING FIGURES The City Registration Is About 1000 in Excess of That of i894-The
 County Did NobIy Too.

The registration books for Alabama were closed last night, and from the in- formation received at campaign head quarters it has been the largest in the history of the new law.
 Only three cities in the state-Bir- mingham, Montgomery and Mobile came under the provision allowing cities of over 10000 population thirty days for registration, and the allotted time for these cities expired last night.
 The registrars for the two city beats, w. E. Martin, beat 37 and MT. Davis, beat 21, have remained strictly at their posts of duty and if any one has failed to register it has been their oWn and not the officers fault Each remained on duty until the clock struck F last night.
 So far there has been no complaint of fered by either political party as to the registration in any of the beats except suit of a misunderstanding between the registrar and a few voters. The regis trar, in his anxiety to obtain full regis tration and to accommodate voters who could not leave their work, would spend part of his time at Elyton and part at Ensley.
 Upon a whole, however, everything seems perfectly satisfactory to all con cerned, and war to the hilt is now on until the first Monday in August.
 The registration lists from all the country beats except Jugtown, beat 22, have been filed with the county register, and they stand as follows:

Strength of Silver in England.

London, June 6.-The strength of sil- yer is attributed to the initial impetus of American buying, followed by the spectators here. According to the Statis the silverites are now working both London and New York and are con- fident of victory in the approaching American presidential election. Their operations influence the enormous de- mand for India council bills, which last Wednesday was about double the nor nal demand. From the same cause ru- pee paper has risen and the rates of h. dia and China bills have advanced. The Statis says that the prospects of a silver ite majority in the United States has al- ready caused slackening in the busi- ness of American banking and that trade generally is entering into a period of grave apprehension. The shipments of gold from New York will soon become large and the hording of that metal will assume formidable dimensions.
