The battle for the championship in the
Amateur Bowling Association is as spir-
tied as ever, n the anne have con-
tinue without any advantage for the
Catholic Club and Elizabeth A. G. teams,
who are a tie for the prize. Both won
last week, but it was a close call for
each organization, their opponents lead
ing them right to the finish. They have
three more games to roll before the
season ends, and these will be bowled
with all the skill possible, as a slip at
this time will be disastrous. The Catho-
lie Club has been at the top ever since
the season opened, a record that has been
~unequalled in connection with this or
ganization. The Newark Bay Boat Club
is third, with the FOritaniss fourth, and

tectives in the mountains about ten
miles from the city. The officials posi-
lively refuse to disclose the character
Of the evidence against the men, or to
allow any outsiders to communicate
with them. This conduct is explained
by tn fact that other arrests and. II Is
said, sensational disclosures, will fol-
low. The train wrecking for which they
were arrested was that at the Cahaba
river bridge. The theory of the detec-
tlves now seems TO be that the work was
done by an organized band OF negroes
who had a rendezvous in the noun

IT develops that three white boys who
were passengers on the il-fated Blocton
train are missing. One was the son
of James Weaver, OF Aldrich, who
boarded the train at Guernee. His
father was here Thursday trying to
find his son, from whom he had not
heard since the wreck. Another was
Jim Hilton, of Pratt City, who also got
on the train at Guernee. and the third
was Tommy Glendale, of Helena, whose
mother was killed in the wreck. The
boy was with her. No bodies have been
found answering the descriptions of the

SAILING OF THE COMMODORE.
Starts for Cuba Openly Loaded with Arms
and Ammunition.


Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 2.-The steam
er Commodore cleared at the custom
house at o'clock Thursday afternoon
with a cargo of arms and ammunition
consigned to Salvador Cisnvros, presi-
dent of the Cuban republic. at Cienfu-
goes, Cuba. A crew of twenty-seven
men was carried, despite the fact that
the Commodore is only ninety-nine tons
register. Most of these We're Cubans.
Among the number was Stephen Crane,
the novelist. who signed as a seaman
at 500 per month. The cargo consists
of the following: One thousand pounds
of dynamite, two boxes of electric ap-
paratus, twenty-five riflse, 100000 car
tridges and three bundles of clothing.
drugs, and three bundles of clothing.
Clearance papers were issued, not
withstanding that a formal protest was
made by Senior Soils, Spanish consul
for Florida, which was made in writing
to the collector. The grounds were
that the rules and regulations of ports
of entry in Cuba prohibit the importa-
ton of munitions of war except upon
the written permission of the governor
general of the island, and also upon
the ground that it, is the belief of the
consul that the arms are to be used
by the insurgents against the kingdom
of Spain.
News is received here that the cruiser
Raleigh has left Key West under sealed
orders. 1t Is feared by the Cubans that
she will stop the filibustering vessels
and search them to see If men are on
board. or else convey them to their place
of destination.
