A TELEPHONE TRUST
Combination of the New England and
Vermont Companies.

People IN this section will be interested
| IN The consummation of deal Just made
| by which the New England Telephone and
telegraph company secures by purchase
tne SOCK, franchises, good will and entire
/ plant of he Vermont Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which has been operated
under the control OF. A. c. Brown. The
iatter company covers the endre counties
Of Lamoille and Washington, and also ex :
t,nds into five other counties OF the state.
Its southern terminus is at Randolph, to
which point the New England line also
reaehes,so that the combination will mean
one through line in either direction.
The Vermont company was organized
IN 1880 by A. q. Brown with the opening
OF a telephone exchange in Montpelier
Tine plant includes seven exchanges 10.
Gated in the following towns: Montpelier,
Barre, Morrisville, Waterbury, Hardwick
Underhiil and Cambridge. II includes
nearly 5000 miles of wire and between 600
and 200 instruments. The New England
company assumes the entire business of
the Vermont company, beginning with
No.. 1st
The importance OF he purchase indi-
Gated, to the New England Telephone and
Telegraph company, is evident 10 even the
most Ignorant of telephone ways and US.
ages. The purchase OF the line gives to
them practically the control OF the tele-
largely increased facilities OF service to its
patrons. Proposals for the purchase of
the rival plans were made as early as ~
years ago and have been frequently re-
renewed until the sale was consumaIed.
Mr.. Brown states that he sold because
he got his price, which, he hints, was a good
one. He will continue to manage his
branch for the present under the direction
OF the New England company. He does
not understand that any radical changes
are contemplated in the programme here
tofore pursured by him, but that the new
management will endeavor, first, to give
the public good service, and after that to
make the price of such service as reasona-
bic as is commensurate with the payment
of the necessary expenses of maintenance
and fair return for the capital invested.
This rather squints toward higher tele-
phone rates. A pig kick will be registered
IL anything like that ensues, bat the New
England people have a way OF carrying
their point with the public. Their mo
nopoly is complete in most places.

A REFORM IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEES WORK
FULLY ENDORSED.
One of the Evils is Incompetent superinten =
dents-State Board of Examiners VIII Do
Away With Incompetent Teachers.

The meeting of the committee of the
Education association in Birmingham
Tuesday may mean more to Alabama than
the mere fact of the meeting would indi-
cate The steps taken at the meeting will
be endorsed all over Alabama.
It has been commended for some time that
Alabama's public school laws were deficient
in many respects. In the first place, 1t is
claimed that the funds are insufficient,
thereby rendering the school term entirely
too short.
In the second place, it is said that many
of the county superintendent are not ca
pable and therefore the corps of teachers
are not fully equipped for their work.
Among educational men yesterday this
was considered one of the best moves
made. In discussing the question one gen.
tleman told of a superintendent of a coun-
ty in tho northern part of the state, who
could not answer simple questions in
mathematics and geography. He, with his
examining board gave many first grade
certificates to alleged teachers who in re-
atty would have been lucky to have got
ten place in the third grade.
Finally a weekly paper exposed one of
certificates to pupils of a certain pet"
school without the formality of exami
nation conducted according to law. He and
his examining board all signed the GER
tifcates, although it was proven that no
examination was ever held. This was in a
county noted for its culture and refinement.
'"This is just a sample" continued the
gentleman, there are many other cases
just as bad. Probably the teachers have
their grievances. They are often delayed
in getting their pay, but great many of
them could learn nothing in any other pur-
suit than as day laborers. There are too
many public school teachers in Alabama
who are not competent"
The appointment of a state examining
board. it is thought, would tend to abol-
ish this evil.
The subcommittee appointed Tuesday
will probe every phase of the question and
it is hoped that at the next session of the
Educational association q bill will be
framed to meet all requirements.

A BIC DAMAGE SUIT FILED
The AMI Golden Company the
Defendant.
ALLEGED DEATH OF A CHILD
Which is Claimed Was Caused Ely Mistake
in Filling Prescription
tors Statement.

Suit was filed in the city court yesterday
by C. W. Nichols, administrator of the es-
tate of David Yancy, deceased against the
AMI Golden company for $4,000 damages.
The suit is based on an alleged wrongful
filing of a prescription whereby nitrate of
potash (salt petre) was used instead of
bitartrate of potash Cream of TARTAR
which it is alleged produced the death of
tho plaintiffs intestate, a child years of
ago who was attended by DR.. e. H. Sholl,
a practicing physician of this city.
According to the statement of Dr. Shon
he was called to Smithfief3 on December
to attend the child by its father, a colored
drayman. He said: II found the child
critically ill., suffering from Brlght's disease,
which had developed into dropsy. It's
breathing was very hard and its life was
hanging by a slender cord. 1 prescribed a.
strong purgatiye, which had no effect and
then prescribed common Cream of Tartar,
which is technically known as bitartrate OF
potash. A tablespoonful was to be put in
a tumbler of waiter and a tablespoonful of
the solution to be given every hour. The
father came to my house ait night and re-
ported the child no better and suggested
that perhaps the medicine caused it to
vomit. The medicine was changed, and the
next morning the father reported that the
child had died during the night. I certified
that it had died of Brights disease.
"If the nitrate of potash was used do
not believe that the quantity the child got
caused it's death. 1t is a medicine that
was formerly used to a greater extent than
at present and medical authorities note
where two ounces were administered at a
dose. Its effects are similar to that of
cream of tartar"
The Prescription.
The word "bitartrate" in the prescrip-
ton was badly written and could have
been mistaken for nitrate" G. B. McVey,
secetary and general manager of the drug
company, says that if nitrate of potash
(salt petre) was used in filing the prescrip
ton, it could not have caused death, as
the drug is not classed as a poison, and
is used to produce the same effects as BIZ
tartrate of potash (cream of tartar. Ac-
cording to the directions, If the salt petre
was used, the child got but a small por-
ton at dose, and medical authorities
state that very large doses have been adj
ministered in the treatment of diseases.

1.-THE CONFEDERATE PRIVATE"
To Be Followed BY Concert and 'WatchNght'
Entertainment at Regents Hall.

1.-THE Confederate Private" will be the
subject of a lecture to be delivered by
Prof. S. Q. Hale, at Regents hall, in Nine
teenth street, on the night of Dec. 81.
The lecture is described as being one re-
plete with fun, patriotism and pathos.
Prof. Hale is a member of the faculty of
the Agricultural and Mechanical college,
Auburn, and has an enviable reputation
as an orator and lecturer.
The lecture will be followed by concert
and "watch-night'' entertainment. The
concert will comprise select music and rec
itatlons by the uniform rank of Camp
Hardee, Custer post, the sponsors of the
several camps and others who have volun-

peaceful gathering of the heroes who wore
the gray, and it is hoped that there will
be a large attendance. The admission will
be Is cents for adults and 10 cents for chill
dren.

COLLINS AND FRAZER
WILL BE TRIED TODAY

VIII Re Taken There This Morning Under
Heavy Guard Collins Suffering
From Bilious Attack.

Tom Collins, who killed ]. L. Howell in
a cell at the city prison in Bessemer on
Monday, and Hugh Frazier, who is charged
with being an accessory to the crime, will
be taken to Bessemer at o'clock this
morning under a heavy guard, and will be
given preliminary trial before Justice
Tiiman of that place. The idea of holding
the trial in this city was abandoned yes
terday.
Collins was not feeling so well yesterday,
having been attacked with bilious spell
the night before.
The trial will no doubt be largely attend
ed, as the people of Bessemer are much
wrought up over the affair.
Several friends from Bessemer called to
see the men yesterday, but were refused
admission to the Jail on the order issued
by Sheriff O'Brlen allowing no one to enter
except on business.
