DEATH s RECORD.

Yesterday morning at 4:30 o'clock, death visited this city and bore away the spirit of Mrs. Annie O'Brien to the great beyond where worries and troubles of this world will be left behind, Deceased was the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Duffee, of Montgomery, and came to Birming- ham about fifteen years ago. Her death was caused from rheumatism of the heart. Mrs. O'Brien was truly a good woman. Ever since she came to Bir- mirgham, until her death, she kept boarding house and during this time thousands of laboring men were benef- charles of her motherly attentions and kindnesses. They were as welcome to her home without money as if they had bulging purses. and she never was known to refuse worklngman bed and board. Her name was a household word with union worknen from Maine to Texas and from the gerat lakes to the gulf Many in far away lands will grieve to know of her demise.
 The funeral takes place this afternoon from St. Paul's Catholic church. h. terment at the Catholic cemetery.

AN AWFUL DEATH.
While Looking Down an Elevator Shaft a Negro Has His Neck
 Broken.

A middle-aged negro met a horrible death at Ensley City yesterday morn- ing.
 The negro was employed at No. ? fur mace with the boilermakers' force and had been sent up on the cold blast main to secure g. rope Instead of coming down. as he should. he looked down the ele- YatOr shaft. While doing so he noticed the elevator in the opposite shaft com ing up and evidently forgetting the fact that the one in the shaft where he was standing, was coming down, failed to move and the down-coming elevator struck the back of his head with terri ble force breaking his neck.
 Before the elevator could be stopped his body was dragged down in the narrow space between the elevator and wall and then thrown to the ground, twenty feet or more below. He was horribly man. gled and was dead when picked up.

EVOLUTION DISCUSSED.
By the Ministers Yesterday-The Theory Denied. Yet Some Acknowledge Great
 Development Has Taken Place.

The question of evolution was discussed at the pastors meeting Monday morning. The discussion was conducted in the best of humor, although there was some con- flict of opinion.
 Rev. Dr. c. c. Kelley took rather an advanced view. although he dfsclalmed any intention of posing as an evolution ist He thought that the evo1utionists had not proven their position-there was an element of faith m the doctrine of evolution, just as there was in religion. He said that he did believe in progress. or development The geologists have proven that the world was not created in six days of twenty -four hours eachy but it required many thousands of years. Man himself has developed. Men are better Christians now than they once were In the Bible we find hints of evo- lution. Christ was born fin the fullnesS of time"-it was possible for Him to have been corn of Eve, but the world was not ripe for His birth. The Bible refers to the leaven that leayenetn the lunp- The leading authors of the day. such as Drummond and MacLaren, are evolution ists.
 Rev. pr. L. G. Handley thought there was a confusion In terms-he did not be- heVe in evolution. but he did believe in development. The oak came from the accOrn,. but it was impossible for nick oTy lO CoUS rom an acorn. u was ls1l- possible for man to spring from a non- key. Man was created with five ss nses, and he has them now If he were in process of evolution his senses would in- crease.
 Rev. Dr.J. " Newman held to the Bib Heal position. He thought the gsologists might be nfstaken-they were constant ly revising their deductions. He. did not believe in the nebular hypothesis and although it was taught in the geogru- phies he told his children it was wrong.

A RELIGIOUS INCIDENT.
Two Ministers Desire To 'Irle:s.Jest'' a Brother of the Cto n In the
 Great Tl2pic of Christianity.

IA very amusing stcry is told on Dr. J. W. Newman. presiding elder of the Bar- ningham district, by one of his brother missionaries.
 IA few evenings since, while the doctor was qulctly sitting in his zl.udio. iritsTss-- ing himself reading a well-wrlJten work on thsokgy, there was a gentle rap at his deer. In his usual coullteous manner una doctor arose and answered the ini isr- rurtion by opening 'lhe dcor and tGddi1g two gentlemen kind "Giood evening" " and asked if Ee could seiWe them in any way.
 "We would like to know, sir, r5nparked oire of tha party, "if we could interest you i'll religion?"
 PercefvIng the dress of the gen femen was ol7l the order of the usual cleTg ynlall, Dr. Newman conclud u to draw m out a little before making himself known, and repMed:
 Your misslion is a worthy one, and I must say everyone should recognize your work"
 "rbank you, m,st kindly remarked the speaker. I've are conducting n1t- ing5 on Ihe streets every eveE..ey. and would be glad to have you come ol.ie ai.l in the services and we hope to dio you good'
 May I ask your creed? 2"
 "We are Leltter Day Saints.'
 And where are you frOnn?"
 "We have been in The east for sictme time, but are originally from Utah."
 This was LOO much aIld the able di- vine calmly rspl3;d that he was q Meth o0tst clergyman, and the Mormon eivan- geHlsts were soon out of sight net stop ping to increase pr. Newman's interest" further in their particular religion.
