oieties in Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi Louisiana, Texas and Alabama, and one society in Arkansas.
 Delegates from these states meet in Chattanooga on the 18th of next month, to select the place for the next annual meeting. At this meeting the local so- ciety will make strong efforts to have the delegates select Birmingham for that occasion. The last meeting was held in St. Louis, and attracted many thousands of visitors to that city.
 The local society decided to set aside the sum of $1,OOO for the purpose of de- fraying the expenses of holding the next meeting if it should be held in this city The expenses will be over that amount and the citizens of Birmingham will be asked to contribute the difference.
 Should this meeting be held In Birm- ingham it would mean the influx of be- tween five and six thousand people.

BODY OF AN INFANT
Found in a Gutter at Eighth Avenue and
 Twentieth Street

Found in Gutter at Eighth Avenue and
 Twentieth Street
 An unknown white. babe, seemingly only few hours old, was found in gutter on the southeast corner of Fifth avenue and Sixteenth street yesterday afternoon about five o'clock.
 The discovery was mads by F. B. Col and Will Longwood, colored, the porter at the Dude saloon. The men were pass ing along Sixteenth street when a little girl about twele years old called them over and told them of the gruesome ob- ject under the grating Colvin took a pole and turned the object over to see what it was. He was mortified to find 1t white female child. Officer Eagin WAS notified and made an examinations of the premises After which he called Miller and company's conveyance and had the body moved to their establish men1 on Third avenue.
 MT. will Leslie, the embalmer, made a thorough inspection of the fbody and stated that fe could find no marks of violence upon it. In several places were noted abrasions of the skin, but he at tribrted these to the fact that he body had remained in the water so long that particles of hard substance had caused them by coming in contact with the ten der flesh.
 There was no clothing either on the body or lying near it, and there seems to be not a clue as to whose the child is nor how it came in such a strange hid ing place. The body is badly decom- posed. which shows that 1t has been in the gutter. or some other exposed place, for some time. Coroner Burkhalter has bean notified and will hold an inquest over the remains today.

 the Street Into His Shoe Shop
 Cross Under Arrest.
JAMES CROSS THE ACCUSED


 James Gross. a white man, is in the city prison and will have to answer the grave charge of attempted assault on Lillian Underwood. a 9-year-old girl. The child is at the home of her parents on Avenue A and Twenty-second streets and has been in a precarious condition since Sunday morning. Ugly bruises on her body demonstrate that she has suffered from the treatment The act was alleged to have been committed last Friday, but was not made public until Sunday morn- ing.
 The story told by the little girl is one to visit her aunt, on Second avenue and Twenty-sixth street, and was returning to her home shortly after o'clock last Friday evening. It was necessary for Cross. She says that Cross stopped her as she was passing and told her to come in that he had some pictures and a can telopue and would give them to her. She 0cyS Lhdl Slic W6nt lllC Sliol, SuC had often done before. He grabbed hold of her arm at the same time slamming the door, According to her story. Cross threw her down and criminally assault ed her. She succeeded in escaping from his clutches, but hewas persistent and, she claims, succeeded in his desires. She wore dark calico dress at the time, which is badly torn. She says the rents were made when she struggled to get away from him.
 Her condition was not discovered until Sunday morning when, returning from a nearby grocery. she was overcome ard came near fainting. Her sister noticed her queer actions and demanded an ex- plantation. The little girl told her of the occurenca of the preceding Friday. Drs. Barclay ard Wlaeelan and 8 colored physician named Wilkinson were in turn called in and made an examination. They all stated that the child had been crmfn- ally assaulted.
 All Sunday night the little girl had con- vulsions, but yesterday seemed to be much improved. She is bright little girl only years old. Her parents moved to Birmingham seventeen years ago from Blocton, and reside on what is known as Rolling Mill Hill, where the girl was born. MT. Underwood is not in the city, but somewhere unknown to his wife, looking for work.
 Mrs. Underwood appeared before Clerk Mingea yesterday morning and swore out a warrant against Cross for rape. Cross was supposedto have been friend of the family, as he often called at the house. Cross preliminary trial will be held this morning in the inferior criminal court. It is understood that he denies the charge dn full,

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Four New Cases Sent to the Red Mountain :. Camp Since Saturday.

The smallpox situation continues to in- prove and the doctors are much encour- aged over the outlook. Only one case was reported Sunday and that patient walked out to the red mountain camp so that his family would not have to be sent to the house of detention. Yesterday, however, the authorities found out where they were and sent them out to the camp. Three new eases were reported yesterday, as follows:
 Amanda Hit, colored, residence Ave- nue c, between Twenty and Twenty-first streets; sent to the Red mountain camp. Two others from this same place were sent out to the camp of detention.
 Dave Garnett colored, residence D3O North Twenty-fffth street; sent to Rcd mountain camp; five from his house were sent to the camp of detention
 Ludia Hall, colored, residence Third alley between Twenty third and Twenty fourth streets; sent to Red mountain; four from this place were sent to the camp of detention.
 Altogether, yesterday and Sunday, there were fifteen cases reported but up on investigation only four real cases of smallpox were found for both days. It seems that every time a person is found who is sick a report is sent to Dr. Due that the party has smallpox. This oc- casions great deal of extra work for the small force at Dr. Dues disposal
 The methods rslsorted to by some of the negroes to escape being vaccinated are

COKE OVENS AT ENSLEY
New and Economical Process of
 Making the Product.
SIXTY FURNACES BUILDING
The New Semet-SaIoy Process Produces Greater Quantity and Much
 Better Quality

One of the most hopeful indications dn connection with the manufacture of iron in the Birmingham district is the battery of bi-product coke ovens now under course of construction at Ensley City In the manufacture of nearly all articles of tpade from the 1-ssaass e=-2terial, salvage of bi-producIts, or, commonly speaking the conversion of the wastes to a. practical use, is a money making gain.
 For a long while experts in iron man. ufacture have been giving their atten- tion to the waste, consisting of the toss of the coal tar products and rhe escape of gas, in converting coal to coke This loss was due to the construction of the old beehive coke ovens. The battery at Ems ley City is after the European Semei Sol voy company's process. The advantages of this process over the old method of coling are numerous. Inthe first place. the new process produces more coke and better material than the beehive oven. The gas is collected and furnishes addi- hional heat for the furnace boilers and hot air ovens. Then, most of all, there is utilization of other bi-products. The battery at Ensley City will furnish sul- phate of ammonia and coal tar. Sulphate of ammonia is worth about 8 cents pound and is extensively used in the arts, as is coal tar a1so both crude and refined. It is estimated that a ton of coal coke will yield eighteen or twenty pounds of ann monia sulphA-e and hundred weight of coal tar and from 1000 to 5000 cubic feet of good illuminating and heating gas.
 There are about sixty ovens in the bat tery. and each oven will cost something like $3,000. The heat is distributed by means of drafG arranged at the bottom. The gas is separated according to the gas process. and Che ammonia and coal tar are collected by condensation and asb- sorption.
 About twenty maEons are pushing the work as fast as possible, and it is be lleved thait the battery will go into opera tion about January l.

SILK AND WINE.
R. J. Lowery Makes Great Showing of Ills
 Industries.

R. J. Lowery, colored, who has silk farm and vineyard on Red Mountain, exhibited in the city yesterday a sampla of his grapes grown from his own seed lings, which are equal to the Concord. He also exhibited sample of his wine He will make several thousand gallons this year. Lowery has the largest silk farm in the south and expects to attend the Paris exposition and make an effort for a premium over the French which hss succeeded in capturing at the New Orleans exposition.
 Outside of his silk and the cultivation of grapes the next greatest pleasure Lowery enjoys Is to tell that he was the first colored lawyer admitted to practice law in Alabama. Mrs Belva Lockwood was one of Lowerys examiners and he was granted license in Washington, D. c. He never practiced but little as he decided to make his home in Alabama and the law practice has never been very remunerative for the colored in this state.
 He is above the average of his so1or In education and refinemeni, and is doing extraordinary we'll with his silk farm and vineyard.
