CULM|NAT TON OF A
PRETTY ROMANCE
Miss Katie Doom Travels from
the Setting Sun to Meet
Her Lover.

A pretty little romance from real life
eliminated in a happy marriage at the
Southside Catholic church last night, the
contracting parties being Miss Katie Doom
of San Pedro, Cal, and Herman j. Con-
rad of this city.
The beginning of the story dates back
several years ago, when Miss Doom resided
in Birmingham with her uncle, ]. D. Stew
art, and was wooed and won by Mr.. Con-
rad, youth who was serving his appren-
ticeship as machinist in one of the railroad
shops. Confding in each others love, the
two young people laid plans for the future,
which was frightened by the thought of
the happy time when circumstances would
permit the groom-elect to claim his bonny
bride. All went we'll until the uncle
nounced his determination to move to far
away California, taking with him his niece,
who was a member of his family. The
announcement was received with painful re-
greet by the young lovers, whose hearts
were made heavy with the thought of sep
aration.
1t was condition that must be met, and
with the strength born of pure love, the
trusting woman cheered her detected lover
with assurances of her fathfulness and
trust.
The day for the departure came and
though the girl boarded the train for her
far-away western home, heart was left
behind.
lHSplreQ ny the love Oh MS nODle sweet
heart, young Conrad struggled on and won
his way to victory. Finishing his appren-
ticeship, he secured lucrative position as
machinist in the Southern shops, and with
light heart wrote a letter to his iance that
he was ready to claim her as his bride. 1t
required but fe wdays' preparation and
the happy girl boarded the train at San
Pedro and after five days journey arrived
| in Birmingham a few days ago. Last
night at the Southside church the happy
couple were Joined in wedlock by Father
Mereur assisted by Father Roberts, of
Cullman. The attendants were Miss Emma
Rupert as maid of honor and John Dow
| ling as best man. The pretty ceremony was
witnessed by large number of friends
who afterwards repaired to the residence
of William NJ Conrad. the groom's father
at SIG South Twenty-fourth street, where
| a reception was held
Mr.. and Mrs Conrad will reside at ALI
South Twenty-fourth street. where the
groom has fitted up pretty home for his

FRANK ALFRIEND EVANS.
Today Sleeps Beside His Mother in the
City of Dead.

Today the mortal remains of Frank AL
mother and grandmother in Oak Hill GEM
etery. The funeral occurred yesterday
morning from the residence of Mayor
Evans in Seventh avenue and the inter-
ment shortly afterwards.
Hundreds of friends came to pay the last
tribute to the dead and out of respect to
the living. The members of the board OF
aldermen and the city officials attended in
a body
Rev. DR.. Handley, of the Central Pres
byterian church, who has been the lifelong
spiritual adviser of the family, read the
funeral palm. abide with Me" was sung
and then appropriate and feeling remarks
were made by DR.. Handley and Dr. Curry.
Nearer My God to Thee was beautifully
rendered and before the soft, melodious
tones had died away the long line of car
riages formed in procession to the ceme-
terry. Here Dr. Handley committed the
body to dust and feeling prayer was Of
fered.
Friends gathered about and banked the
mound high with exquisite floral tributes,
a fitting example of the high esteem in
which the dead was held. The saddest in
cident was that of the father consigning
his first born to the grave. The picture
was pathetic, and the friends of Mayor
Evans wept with him and shared his grief.

For the Protection of Merchant

The broad development of business enter,
prise throughout the United States and con-
sequently the enormous amount of mercan-
and protection in the pursuit of business,
have been the factors of influence in devils
ing means to that end. In accordance with
the leading principles of the day. The Mer-
chants Trade Exchange was organized and
established in 1885, body designed to afford
protection to mercantile men. A branch
has been established in this city with
guarantee membership of fifty of the lead
ing business firms of the city.
1t is the purpose of the exchange to assist
its subscribers in making collections, to act
for them as attorneys, and to guard their
interests by furnishing mercantile reports,
the rating of consumers and advices against
debtors.
They publish a weekly bulletin, the first
issue of which came out December 10, 1885,
The bulletin is to guard against people who
owe or are insolvent, and is to aid brother
merchants. When desired, they furnish
exact ratings, but do not say positively.
Mr.. Oscar Floyd, the attorney of the COM
pany here, is well known a bright and
promising young lawyer who has by his
honesty and ability obtained the confidence
of the public.
Mr.. c. H. Mclean, the state manager of
the Merchants Trade Exchange, is emil
nently qualified to go into this work and he
backs up his store of knowledge and expe-
rience by hearty enthusiasm and whole
heartedness in the cause and wants his SUBJ
scribers to feel confiderEt that only the best
and most reliable methods are used in the
collection of their accounts -

SHEFFIELD RUMOR
Has 1t That the Southern Has Purchas-
ed the Northern.

Rumors come from Sheffield, of more or
less reliable nature, that the Southern rail-
road has recently purchased the Northern
Alabama railroad, running between Shelf
field and Jasper with branch line extend
ing down to Parrish. The Southern is said
to have had it's eye on the Northern ever
since the Memphis and Charleston was alb
sorbed last summer, as the Northern runs
through some of the very valuable mineral
lands of Alabama.
Should there be any truth in this report,
the new purchase of the Southern will give
that road a route from Birmingham to
Memphis; from Birmingham to Parrish
over the old Georgia Pacific, from Parrish
to Sheffield over the Northern, ard from
Sheffield to Memphis over the old Memphis
and Charleston. There are a number of
other advantages which the Southern would
derive by owning the Northern, and the
purchase is considered in Birmingham as
not at all improbable

GENERAL SUGGESTION.
Postoffice Department Give Some Adj
vice for Postmasters to Follow.

Washington, December 2S.-The following
suggestion for general adoption at the post
offices in all large cities was given out at
the postoffice department today;
at is now the practice at the larger post
offices to close the money order business at
o'clock in the evening. The department
realizes that many persons, particularly
those whose time is fully occupied during
the day, are thus prevented from obtaining
money orders, and 1t has sought for some
time past to remedy this inconvenience. A
plan recently adopted at St. Louis has
proven successful that it will be gener-
ally introduced by Assistant Postmaster
General Heath, who has suggested that
inasmuch as a clerk is on duty at the
stamp window of the larger offices during
all or a part of every night, he may issue
money orders when application is made
therefor. AT present no arrangement is
provided for the payment of orders, but If
this measure meets with tho approval of
the public doubtless a complete system of
issue and payment will be provided for in
the near uture.'

Washington, December 2S.-The SECRETARY
Surgeon-General Sternberg for the estab-
1lshment of an army sanitarium at Nagas-
ak JAPAN for the use of the United States
troops at Manila. The recommendation has
not been approved, but it Is looked upon
with much favor owing to the desirablity
of having such sanitarium well away
epidemlcs which may arise there. 1t would
require the consent of the japanese govern
ment but little doubt exists that this
would be given. The climate in this Japan
ese locality is very salubrious and bracing
and is in every way better than that about
Manila particularly for the sick and con-
valescent
The condition of the sick troops in this
country is quite favorable according to re-
ports received by the surgeon-general; 50
much so that the hospitals at Lexington
and Knoxville have been abandoned
The convalescents at Knoxville are now
being carried to the general hospital at Fort

EFENDING COUNSEL KNIGHT
In an Eloquent Speech Plead for His
Client. \
He DENOUNCED MANY WITNESSES
Who Had Given Evidence Against Mrs.
Botkin During the Trial-Decla1ed
Her to Be a Prosecuted But
Innocent Woman,

San Francisco. December 2S.-This was
the most interesting day in the Botkin
case since the trial of the woman for the
murder of Mrs. Dunning commenced. At
torney General White. of Delaware, open
ed for the prosecution. He addressed the
jury quietly and proceeded to review the
testimony brought out during the trial.
Mr.. White dwelt upon the awfulness of
the crime and the unsupported, defenseless
condition of the victims. As he concluded
Mrs. Botkin leaned her head on her arms
and seemed to be greatly affected.
At the afternoon session Attorney George
Knight made the argument for the de-
Tense. Mr.. Knights reputation as an ora
tor and ability as a criminal lawyer at
tracted an enormous crowd to the court
room. Mr.. Knight endeavored to convince
the jury of the weakness of the proseeu-
tions case and the lack of motive for the
committing of such a crime by Mrs. Bot
kin.
Acquittal of Rosser
Mr. Knight urged the jury not to be IN
f1uenced by the outcry caused by the re-
cent acquittal of Walter Rosser, the Ten
nessee soldier, who murdered an inoffenslVe
citizen of San Francisco, and referred to
the Maybrick and Dreyfus cases as IN
stances of suffering of innocent people be-
cause of public opinion.
Mr.. knight attacked and denounced many
of the witnesses. He commended that the
prosecution had failed to show motive on
Mrs. Botkin's part for the commission OF
the crime. 1t had been shown during the
trial that Mrs. Botkin had persistently re-
fused to allow her husband to procure
divorce, and this showed that she had no
desire to marry Dunning.
Mr.. knight closed with brilliant perora-
ton, in which he described Mrs. Botkin as
an innocent, prosecuted woman, and he
urged the jury to acquit her of the horrible
suspicion that had rested on her through
the Vaccinations Of the police.

NO FAV0RS TO
THE GOVERNMENT
Case Which Illustrates Scarcity
of Pig Iron.
1925 FOR GRAY FORGE
ports Considered the Cheapest
Quality on the Market-Min-
erS Returned to Work.

A peculiar case, which illustrates we'll the
scarcity of pig iron in this district, has just
come to light. Recently the United States
government asked for bids from several OF
the Birmingham furnace companies on 500
tons of pig iron to be used as ballast In
some of the transports now in the govern
ment service. The iron was to be delivered
to some one Of the South Atlantic ports to
the transports plying between those places
and the West Indian islands.
Pig iron is considered one of the best
ballasts known, and the government is
anxious to get lot of it. The navy de-
partment asked for, bids on the cheapest
iron on the n 1rket, commonly known as
gray forge.
There was but one company in the district
that could fill the order and it is said that
it had only about 200 tons above the 500
required. According to the report, this
company didn't seem to fully appreciate the
honor of being asked to furnish ballast for
Uncle Sans transports, for they put
price of $7.25 ton on it. Uncle Sam needn't
feel bad, however, for that's the way the
Birmingham companies have to treat all
would-be buyers these days. 1t may be
said by way of explanation, however, that
gray forge is among the scarcest of all
grades of iron now
In the early part of last summer this price
of SIPS was the amount charged for the
best pig iron made in the district. This
shows well the rapid advance which iron
has made in that time.
1t has not yet been heard whether the
government will accept the offer or not.
Mines in Full Operation
The mines of the district are again in
full operation after the Christmas holidays,
and the district is again turning out fully
$1,000 tons a day. 1t is estimated that the
holiday festivities stopped work on an aver
age of about three days in the free mines,
decreasing the output something over $4,000
tons. The men are all working extra hard
20 make up for lost time now, however
Short on Coal
An excellent illustration of the "hand-to-
mouth" style in which many of the manu-
featuring plants in the district are getting
their coal supplies is seen in the case of the
Birmingham rolling mill. On several days
lately the mill has been at the end of the
days work entirely out of COAL but that
night enough would be received from the
mines to run the mill during the next day.

Deficit In Sugar Crop

Washington, December PA deficit in
the German beet sugar crop of at least
$4,000 tons is figured out by United States
Consul Diedrich, at Madgeburg. All the old
stocks of sugar in Europe, having run low,
the market is stronger than for some time,
with upward prices.
