Washington, May 20.-Eyangelins
Cossio y Cisneros, the young Cuban
girl is soon to wed MIR. Carlos Carbonel,
the former Cuban banker, who was yes
terday nominated by President Mckin-
ley to be a lieutenant and aid on the
staff of Major General Fitzhugh Lee.
When Karl Decker went to Havana
with the express purpose of llberating
Miss Cisneros,. he found a trusted ileu-
tenant in the person Of MIR. Carbonei,
although, like MIR. Decker he was at
the time unacquainted with the falr
young Cuban. When the might OF the
rescue from the Havana prison came
Mr.. Carbonel was at Deckers side dur
ing the entire affair.
To Carbonel was intrusted the duty
and privilege of accompanying the girl
to New York. Companionship between
the two natives of a common cline soon
ripened into love, and the usual details
of courtship followed, with the result
that the wedding will shortly take
place, probably before Lieut.. Carbonel
shall be ordered into the field, although
no definite time has been decided on by
Miss Cisneros, her guardian. Mrs. Lo-
gan. or the groom-to-be.

permanent chairman. J. w. Donovan was

that the meeting had been called for the
purpose of organizing a company to be at
tached to the Alabama National Guards
There was some discussion, several pres
ent being under the impression that the
meeting had been called for the purpose
of organizing a home guard The ques-
ton as to vacancies in the national guard
and whether or not it would be proper to
assume the name of one of the companies
gone to the front, was also discussed
A motion finally prevailed that a separate
company be organized to be mustered into
service in the Alabama National Guard
In view of the fact that a movement was
on FOOT to organize a home guard in this
city strictly for home protection, a motion
endorsing the movement was adopted.
The following motion was then adopted
as the sense of the meeting:
Ihat the chair appoint a committee of
three to enlist members and that he call

Of City Council.
TWO SCHEDULES PREPARED
By the Water Company But Neither Was
Deemed Satisfactory by the Commit

TWO SCHEDULES PREPARED

The special water committee of the city
council did not submit its report last night
as was expected, the document being unfin-
ished. However, the committeeman say
that it will positively be ready in time for
submission to the next session of the city
council.
The water company has submitted two
schedules of rates to the committee, but
neither was deemed satisfactory. The
first one showed a reduction of almost 10
per cent. from the rates now In force, and
this was promptly rejected as the cut was
thought to be insufficient. The water COM
pany then prepared schedule. with a re-
duction of about IL per cent. and this was
also turned down.
The committee then determined to pre-
pare a schedule which would be equitable
to both the water company and the - :
pie. The task is both long and arduous
and the committee found it impossible to
finish the work in time to render it's report
at the session of the council last night.
The report will be quite lengthy and the
question of filtration will be dealt with
One of the members of the committee said
yesterday that under the existing contract
between the city and the water company,
the city has the right to demand pure and
Wholesome water.

DEATSvlLLE VOLUNTEERS
Adopt Resolutions on the Rejection Of Ore Of
Their Comrades.

When Governor Johnston first issued his
call for volunteers seven patriotic young
men of eatsville responded and rendered
their services. On account of the ill-health
of G. M. Ivey, one of the seven who vol
unteered, he was rejected by the officers in
charge, which was a source of great disap-
pointment to him and his comrades. The
remaining young men Messrs Bert Higgins,
r. H. Powers, d. Rawlinson, w. l.. Mas
sengale, C. e. Worrell and A. 8. Worrell,
held an informal meeting and adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, We, the undersigned volunteers
of Deatsville, having volunteered our SER
vices, and being disappointed because one
of our number, who readily volunteered,
was rejected on account of his health. Be
it resolved:
First, That we, the undersigned. know
that he was sincere in volunteering his ser
vices, and that he was in no ways UJil-
nected with his rejection. Resolved:
Second, That we will always honor him
for his patriotic step, and sincerely sympa-
thize with him In this, his greatest disap-
pointment Resolved,
Third, That we will always honor, love
and respect G. NJ. Ivey, although being
the smallest of the seven who volunteered,
but no drawer heart ever pulsated a breast
than in his. Therefore we will always con-
slider him as one of the seven, the first
volunteers from Deatsville.

room. People saw these changes ana won
dered at the cause. Purchasers Wis called
at the cut rate stores were politely Informed
that the war was over, and Swifrs Specific
was again selling at one dollar Ser bottle.
Some of the druggists who had advertised
goods at cut prices stretched their con-
sciences a trifie and refused to sell at the
figures advertised.
Diligent inquiry revealed the fact that q
meeting had been called and all the drug
stores were represented. 1t was resolved
that large profits were preferable to large
sales and cutting rates was an abominable
nuisance. To keep a cut rate drug store in
the push It was necessary that a large
amount Of money should be spent for ad-
vertising. Therefore, the thing should be
stopped.
Each drug store put up 500 to be forfeited
In case 1t cut the price on patent medicines,
and now the drug business is once more
quiet, the sales being small and the profits
well, fair.
The people are. however, looking forward
to the coming of a cut rate drug store like
the Sloss Pharmacy bid fair to be before
1t was nipped in the bud by the older and
more experienced concerns.

SDecial TO Inc Aet-IlFA dias
Florence, Ala. May 4.-There Is prooa-
bility now that the tolls on the Dig rali-
road bridge across the Tennessee river at
this point, which have been a disturbing
factor for many years, will soon be great
Nv reduced. Colonel A. B. Andrews, Sec
ond yice-president of the Southern railway,
is expected here in a few days to look itno
the matter and adjust the freight rates.
Mr. NJ d. Shelton, county commissioner
spent a portion of this week in Montgom-
arv as the representative of Lauderdale
county, before the state board OF commits
sioners who are adjusting the railroad taxes
of the state. Colonel Andrews was also
before the beard and he was greatly sur
prised to learn from Mr. Sheiton Oh Ihe
disaffection here on account of the exces-
siye toll charges. Colonel Andrews said
Of once that he would look into the mat
ter and remedy the evil without delay.
The people of Florence. Sheffield and Tus-
cunbia have been fighting for lower bridge
tolls for five years. The Memphis and
Charleston railroad fought as bitterly
against reducing the tolls. The merchants
of Florence tried to influence the road by
Withholding their patronage from 1t. Pub
lie meetings were held time and again and
every effort was made to get the tolls re-
duced Finallyl the business league took
the matter up and endeavored to lease the
wagon way of the bridge in order to make
It free but the railroad company would not
listen TO a proposition. The matter was
carried to the courts after law had been
enacted by the Alabama legislature reduc-
ing the tolls. The Memphis and Charles
ton railroad disregardcd the law and a
case Is now pending in the United States
supreme court, which had been carried
there by the state.
When the Southern secured control of the
Memphis and Charleston road the people
OF this section felt the relief would be given
and there Is much qualification now that 1t
is to be given speedily.
At present 1t costs 10 cents to walk
across the bridge. 20 cents to ride across on
horse back, 90 cents for single buggy.
so cents for double buggy and for II cents
