TRADES COUNCIL.
New President and Secretary Were
 Elected.

At meeting of the Birmingham Trades Council held Sunday afternoon. President w. c. Cunningham and Secretary w. D. Howell both rendered their resignations. which were accepted and their successors were elected.
 The meeting was called to order in Clerks hall by President Cunningham and the routine business of the meeting transacted.
 In rendering his resignation President Cunningham stated that he was about to embark in business for himself, which would make him ineligible to membership in the organization. His resignation was accepted, and James Fl. Leath of the Typo graphical union was elected to succeed him. Mr. Leath is an active worker in the cause of labor ana<has been identified with the work of the council for several years.
 Secretary Howell's resignation was neces- sitated by his removal to Montgomery, and J. Jones of the Tailors' union was elected to fill the unexpired term.
 Mir Jones has only recently become member of the council, and is thoroughly in sympathy with the work.

FUNERAL OF COL. SHEPARD
Attended by Large and Distinguished
 Gathering.

Colonel A. K. Shepard made his mark in the higher walks of life; and apart from all previous attestations of public respect for him, the attendance at the solemn fu- neral services over his dead body held at his house Sunday afternoon was of char acter most gratifying to his surviving fam fly and friends. .-.-5..
 The numbers were large, but the presence of so many of the leading gentlemen of the city, and ladis also, was quite remarkable. The floral tributes were bountiful.
 Alexander K. Shepard in the early years of his manhood, entered public life in Vir- ginia, his native state. He came to Ala bama, bringing his widowed mother with him, about the year 1854, and began cotton planting in that splendid prairie country that surrounds Uniontown, Perry county. In 1855 he was elected to the lower house of the Ala bama legislature. In 1856 he married Miss Elizeabeth Evans Pagues, daughter of one of the leading families of Dallas county, and young lady of far more than ordinary intelligence and beauty. His re- lations to her large connections, mother, brothers and sisters, were singulary kind and affectionate. Three daughters and two sons were born to them, one only surviving at this time. A. K. Shepard, of Chicago. The last daughter. Mrs. Forbes, died in Bir- mingham a few years ago, and in the Church of the Advent there is a memorial of her placed there by the Sunday school class taught by her. Her little girl, four years old, was often seen hanging to the hand of her venerable grandfather walk ing the streets of the city. His white flow ing beard and the infantile steps of his companion presented a striking and touch- ing contrast-life ahead linked in affection to life behind.
 Colonel Shepard was a blood-horse fam cier, good narrator of anecdotes, a good companion at table, a good political stump speaker and man of active and intelligent sympathies with all public enterprises sprung in the community where he lived.
 These qualities made up the ante-bellum cotton planter who must move in the front ranks of the society around him. He was direct, candid and earnest in his utterances and undertakings. He was a man of daunt- less physical courage
 In 1861, Colonel Shepard, assisted by the late Colonel J. w. Bondurant, recruited for the confederate army that splendid field battery, the "Jeff Davis Artillery" from the country between Selma and Demopolis. Camp life did not agree with him. He came home and began the manufacture of iron for the government at Brierfield.
 Immediately after the war he operated successfully in the cotton market and &C., quired fortune. The fall in cotton from 40 cents in 1866 to cents in 1867 ruined him financially. He took railroad contracts on General Forests road from Marion to

SENATOR MORGAN
Will Speak at Seals Hall on Foreign
 Issues.

Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, will speak in Birmingham next Friday night at Seals hall. This date was arranged yes- terday by Chairman E. K. Campbell, of the executive committee of the Ninth Congress sional district with the senator who was passing through the city.
 Although the speeches Senator Morgan is making through Alabama are largely in the interest of the democratic campaign, he will in his speech next Friday, devote most of his time to the Hawaiian islands, to the Philippines the Nicaragua canal and other matters vitally affecting the foreign policy of the United States.
 Senator Morgan is one of the most inter- esting takers on these subjects in America. No people know better than those of Ala bama the prominent part this statesman has played in the guiding of this country during the last quarter of a century, and it is safe to predict large audience for him Friday night.
 Senator Morgan has just returned from a weeks tour of stump speaking through the doesn't seem to be the least doubt but that Burnett, the democratic nominee, will de- feat both Street, the populist, and Lathrop, the republican.
 Senator Morgan, accompanied by his two daughters, went to Gainesville yesterday on business. Next week, the last of the cam paign he will stump the Fourth district in the interest of Robbins, the democratic nominee.

RAILROADS OPEN.
Yesterday Marked Close of the Quaran-
 tine Restriction.

Yesterday marked the close of the yellow fever season, so far as Birmingham was concerned. The only trouble this city has had since the plague became so widespread in Mississippi and the quarantine became 50 rigid, was the taking off of several trains running in and out of Birmingham. Yester- day all of them were replaced. The Kan sas City, Memphis and Birmingham which has had both of its day trains off since Memphis declared such rigid quarantine yesterday replaced both of them.
 Train No. 35 on the Southern, which left here at 11:25 yesterda made it's first run straight through Columbus, Miss, to Green vile, and No. 36 which will arrive from Greenvile today, will make its first through run. The night trains on this line have been running through for several days.
 The Alabama Great Southern is no longer troubled with the transfer stations at York and Arklet, near Meridian. but yesterday it's trains began running through without stop.
 It is said that there was a 'hot scrap" among the passenger agents of the city to see who would capture the "14S2 com pany which was to make a big jump from Birmingham to Houston, Tex Charley Jones, of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham was. the successful agent and handled the thirty or more actors out of here Saturday night by way of Memphis.

JESSE FRENCH COMPANY
Entertained Its Friends et a Grand
 Opening.

Two artistic musical programmes marked the opening of the Jesse French Piano and Organ company in their new quarters in the Wilson building. corner of Twenty-frst street and Second avenue. yesterday.
 The large music hall Cf the company was thronged with visitors all during the day inspecting the display of handsome pianos orated with palms. ferns and potted plants, which, with the well arranged display Of instruments, made the scene a rich and art istic one. Birmingham has never had a more attractive opening of any branch of bsiness, and Manager w. J. Pearce made 1t all that could have been expected. Each visitor to the hall was shown every atten- tion and courtesy possible.
 At three O clock in the afternoon a superb instrumental programme was rendered, alter which chocolate and waters were served. But 1t was in the evening that the big success was scored. An elegant musi- cal programme was rendered by the best musical artists in the city, and the large hall was more than twice overtaxed by the crowds that gathered. No one was dis appointed in the programme and the most perfect attention was accorded by the audi ence. The programme completed, the per- formers and number of invited guests , formed a delightful dinner party at the Morris, with Manager Pearce as host. This was much appreciated finale to the un- precedented opening.

BASS RESIGNS.
Was Chief Mailing Clerk at the Post
 office.

Willis O. Bass, chief mailing clerk of the Birmingham postoffice, on account of ill health yesterday rendered his resignation to Postmaster Hughes, which was accept ed.
 MT. Bass is at present confined at his home and has recently been compelled on account of his health to lay off most of the time, and in justice to himself and to the office decided to resign. He has for the past nine years been connected with the Birmingham postofice, having served un- der Postmasters Huston, Copeland and Hughes. As a mailing clerk he has few superiors in the United States, and Post master Hughes regrets exceedingly that he was compelled to resign. He speaks of him in the very highest terms and, ac- cepted the resignation reluctantly.
 MT. Bass efficiency as a postofice man is characteristic of his family, he having several brothers connected with the depart ment. Jack Bass, an elder brother, is postal clerk in the railway mail service. J. W. Bass, another brother, is a postoffice inspector, who has an enviabie record. He was promoted in less than six months after entering that department. and ia destined
