Deadly Corset Steel.

Bellair, Ohio, June 1.-THE
lives of three young ladies were
blotted out yesterday evening
by lightning while on their way
home from church at Jacobs
burg. The victims are:
Minnie Mcclure,
Alpha Taylor, and
Emma White, all aged 10.
Sarah Borhing, badly stunned
and may die.
They were walking together
i'm the road a hundred yards
from the church when they were
struck. 1t is believed that the
steel in the corsets worn by the
three that were killed was the
chief cause of their death, as
Miss Borhing who was only
stunned wore none.

Fifteen Men Killed.

Key West, June 13.-News
was received of a sharp fight
over the landing of the Ameri-
can filibustering expedition last
week at the mouth of the river
Agabama, Santa Clara prov
ince, OH Cuba's southern coast.
\ Spanish coastguard sighted
the vessel coming III and sent
for reinforcements. Under the
protection of this friendly force
the flibuster anchored and
was unloading when a Spanish
gunboat from the direction of
Trinidad came along and began
firing shells at long range, the
shoal not permitting the vessel
to come close to land.
Though the shells were fall
ing around her, the American
vessel proceeded with her m-
loading. This finished, she
took the inside channel and ran
out to sea pursued by the gun
boat, firing all the while.
1t is reported that Que shell
took effect on the filibustering
vessel, carrying away heI
smokestack, but she succeeded
in escaping.
The gunboat returned after
ward and sent three boat loads
of marines to secure some OF
the cargo. The Cubans, mount
ing one of the rapid-fre guns
that had just arrived, fired al
the marines in the boats, sink
ing one and forcing the other:
to return TO the gunboat.
1t is said that fifteen sailors
wore drowned or killed by the
insurgents fire. The gunboa
afterwards shelled the shore TO
over an hour, but failed to pre-
vent the Cubans from takinl
the cargo inland.

During the summer of 1891, Mr..
Chas. johnson, a well known at
torney of Louisville, KY, had very
severe attack of summer complaint.
Quite a number of different remedies
were tried, but failed to afford any
relief. A friend who knew what was
needed procured him n bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which quickly
cured him and he thinks, saved his
life. He says that there has not been
a day since that time that he has not
had this remedy in his household.
He speaks of it in the highest praise
and takes much pleasure in recon-
mending it whenever an opportunity
is offered. For sale by Frame Green

OF GREATER
Birmingham.
z SsSsssSsjsSsSsSsssssssssSsS
BY Edward Walker.

Greater New York no longer a con-
summation greatly desired but an accom-
plished fact; real, live, pulsating reality.
BY the same process of absorption Chicago
stands before the world as city of nearly
100000 inhabitants Greater Atlanta is
now almost an assured fact, which will,
by absorbing contiguous suburbs. make
her population something like 125 COO to $780,
600.
Look at Birmingham. Known as a little
$4,000 town, when in reality her real popu-
lation is 100000. This is exceedingly dis
paraging, and ought to be corrected by the
absorption of all her numerous and popu-
lous suburbs in one great metropolitan
commonwealth under the name of Greater
Birmingham, with a population of 100000.
What a magnificent influence would be ex-
erted by such a union of common inter-
ests and resources. Then, indeed, would
magic power evolve from the name of Bir-
mingham.. I believe l am not exceeding
the bounds of conservatism when I say
that nine out of every ten citizens in JEFF
ferson county most heartily favor and
would vote for such a contamination if
given an opportunity to express them
selves. Greater Birmingham should
tend from East Lake to Bessemer, inclu-
sve. From Red Mountain to Bnsley City
and North Birmingham
What would be the benefit and advan-
tages derived from such union of inter-
ests?
We would have First avenue widened,
paved and sidewalked from East Lake to
Bessemer, giving the great southern me-
tropolis magnificent business thorough
fare eighteen miles long, which would in
short while be soidly built up, and the
property lying adjacent to the avenue
would rapidly quadruple in value Sewers.
electric lights, and water works facilities
would go hand in hand with the street de-
velopment. Also fire and police protec
ton. Then Fourteenth street or Tenth
avenue would be likewise developed into a.
magnifcently paved, lighted, severed.
sidewalked street from First avenue to
Ensley City, with fire, police and water

Then. with municipal ownership of water

to furnish the very best quality of these
life-neeessities in abundance, at prices a
little above the actual cost of production.
who, who can estimate the transcendant
progress this God-favored city would
make? 1t would speedily become the me-
tropolis of the south. It can be accom-
plished. Therefore, it ought to be accom-
plished. But how? The answer is simple,
but true. By work BY organized, agrees
sive and united effort. Every achievement
no matter how great, had a beginning.
A few years ago greater New York was
in the brain of one man. Today 1t is
transcendent historical fact. How was 1t
accomplished? BY few men comprehend
ing the situation and systematically work.
ing for it. The successful achievement of
the same thing for Greater Birmingham is
in reach. Did these New York men. meet
with opposition? Yes, on every hand.
What did they do? They went right on
pushing and pressing the great plan, and,
as is always the case, old-fogyism had to
get out of the way. So with Greater Biz
mingham. There are those who will OPP
pose anything and everything, good or bad.
They can't help it, They are born that
way. But fortunately for human progress,
they're greatly in the minority, and never
win a lasting victory anywhere Who is
needed to effect this great achievement?
Why, every man, woman and child, and
all the newspapers in Birmingham, Avon
dale, Woodlawn, East Lake, Powderly,
Bessemer, Thomas, Pratt City, Ensley,
North Birmingham and all those residing
on intervening territory, to talk for it,
work for it and pull for it, and it will be
DONE and done quickly
Every piece of property in the district
would quadruple in value. Every branch
of business would feel the quickening pow
err of such union of interests, for Sin
union there is strength.
If these things be not true, then prove
them to be such. If it be true that such
union of interests and development would
result in great benefit to each and every
citizen residing in the territory contem-
plated. and likewise that better water, and
better gas. and better electricity, at far
less cost. can be furnished by municipal
effort be all that is necessary, then in the
name of all that is great and glorious in
human nature let's unite, and then put
forth the effort. Such united effort in a
good cause is invincible With it, success
is sure.
A Plan,
First. 1 would suggest called mass
meeting" for the purpose of organizing a
central Greater Birmingham club, to be To-
Gated in Birmingham.
Second. The organizing of sub-club in
every suburb in the district.
Third. Vigorous, persistent work by these
Greater Birmingham clubs in bringing out
and presenting the unspeakable benefits
and advantages that would accrue to all
concerned by successfully merging all the
disjonted little cities of the district into
one mighty, metropolitan, Greater Birming-
ham.
