WATER COMMITTEE
DISCUSSED RATES
Held a Conference at the City
Hall Last Night With Repre- :.
Sentatives of Water Co.

An executive meeting of the special water
committee of the city council was held
at the city hall last night, at which Super
intendent John T. Miner and Attorney
Alex London of the Birmingham Water
Works company were present.
The committee was In session about two
hours, during which time the question of
rates was thoroughly discussed. Nothing
was given out for publication, but it is
thought that the water works company
will submit another schedule of rates.
1t will be remembered that about two
weeks ago the company, through Mr.. Lon
don, submitted a schedule of rates, which
was materially lower than the rates now
in vogue, which was rejected by the COM
mittee and the. company asked to make a
new schedule for consideration.
There has been some delay in holding a
meeting of the committee, several post
ponements having resulted.
The members of the committe were seer
after the meeting last night and said there
was nothing done at the meeting beyonc
a thorough discussion of the question OF
rates.
AS to whether the committee would d.
prepared to submit a report to the mex
meeting of the city council none of thu
committee could say. 1t is probable, how
ever, that a new schedule will shortly b'
submitted, which will be satisfactory Il
the committee, and which will be reported
to the city council for final action.

BILL IN EQUITY
IN CITY COURT
Filed by S. D. WeakIey, Admins
traitor of Estate of Joseph
Mudd, Deceased.

A bill in equity has been filed in the city
court by S. D. Weakey, administrator of
the estate Of Joseph P. Mudd looking to
the settlement of the estate of William
s. Mudd, deceasod, of which compliments
intestate was a beneficiary under the last
will and testament of the said William s.
Mudd, and of which William A. Walker is
the sole surviving executor.
The complaint prays that William A.
Walker, as such executor, Florence e.
Jordan, Virginia T. Walker, Sue e. Mudd
and William s. and Joseph P. Mudd, mi
nor heirs of the said intestate. be made
parties defendant to the bill by proper
process, and that a guardian ad litem be
appointed for said infant defendants, and
that William A. Walker may be required
to file his accounts executor OF the
will of William s. Mudd deceased, and
that a settlement of said accounts be had
under the orders and direction of the
court The complaint further prays that
William A. Walker be required to pay the
complainant, as such administrator, what
ever may be found due compliments intes-
tate on such settlement, and that the es-
tate be divided as required by the will un-
der orders of the court in the cause pend
ing.
In accordance with the prayer of the
champlain. Judge Sharpe appointed r. X.
Campbell as guardian ad Item of the minor
defendants.
This suit is brought for the purpose of
winding up the affairs of Joseph p Mudd,
deceased who was beneficiary under the
will of his father, VIM s. Mudd, who died
on Sept 2, 1884, leaving large estate con-
sisting of stocks, bonds and valuable real
estate which. under the terms of the will.
a copy of which is appended to the bill,
was to be equally divided among the heirs
at the expiration of ten years.
At that time 1t was deemed inexpedient
to divide the estate on account of the de-
preston existing in financial circles. The
recent death of Joseph p. Mudd, who was
also an executor of the WILL has brought
about the action by his administrator, who
desires to settle the estate.

Crann'S 0ratorio Presented at
St. Mary's Last Night.
THE REDEMPTION" TONIGHT
A Large Audience Present Last Night-Emj-
nent Soloists and Grand Cho-
rus Of Sixty Voices.

st. Mary's-on-the-H Highlands was crowded
last night to hear Crann's passion of Our
Lord" the first oratorio of the Easter
music festival which is being given at that
church.
1t was in every way success. The
soloists' voices were in excellent condition,
and if such an expression might be used,
they were heartily applauded The choruses
which were sung by nearly sixty voices,
were magnificent, and even to the unculti-
waited ear the music was most pleasing.
1t Is useless to enter into description
of the various numbers. In fact, 1t is hard
to describe one of these oratorios for they
must be heard to be appreciated. A new
feature introduced last night was horn
quartette, composed of Messrs. Geo. P.
jackson, Philip Memoli, Fred Stowe and
Geo. Openshaw
Mr.. B. Guckenberger was the director
and Miss Edna Gockel the organist. The
soloists were Mrs. T. c. Thompson. Miss
Adelaide B. Randall and Miss Archie
Dees; soprano, Mrs. B. Guckenberger; al
to, Albert II. Morehead, of Cincinnati,
tenor and Oscar ]. Ehrgott, of Cincinn-
natl, baritone.
The chorus was composed of the follow
ing musicians: Sopranos-Mrs. e. G. Cham
der, Mrs T. C. Thompson, Misses Mittie
D. Sherrod, Mamie Mackey, Archie Dees,
Adelaide B. Randall, Susan Bailey, Mary

The second and last oratorio of the festi-
val, Gounod's Redemption, will be rem
dered tonight at st. Mary's. There are no
conflicting entertainments in the city at
that time and the indications are that the
attendance will be larger than ever The
Redemption" Is sal to be composed OF
more popular music that the Passion of
Our Lord" presented last night; music
that has more melody in 1t.

we can wait no longer. believe the presi-
dent did everything in his power to secure
an honorable peace, but he has now turned
the question over to congress and we must
take the momentous step which we are
now about to take. These are the reasons
which actuate in taking this drastic
step. The nations of the world will APP
plaud our action; but If they should not,
God help them and the civilization which
they represent. Outraged nature cannot
longer stand that which we have been
called upon to endure. God would hold us

To Limit Debate
Mr.. Davis, chairman of the foreign rela-
lions committee, in brief statement.
said he thought the time had now come
for him to ask the senate, owing to the
exigencies of the situation. to limit debate
in progress. He asked therefore. the
unanimous consent that the debate close
at S o'clock tomorrow evening and at that
time vote be talSn upon the pending
resolutions.
Objection was raised by Mr.. Daniel, of
Virginia Mr.. Teller suggested that de-
bate from now on be limited to speeches
of fifteen minutes duration.

Mr.. Davis then made request that the
vote be taken tomorrow night at o'clock.
Again Mr.. Daniel objected.
Mr.. Davis then asked that vote be taken
tomorrow before the adjournment of the
senate Objection was also made to that.
Mr.. Chandler, of New Hampshire, in
ouired of Mr. Davis If it were not his inten-
tion to ask for continuous session of the
senate of no agreement to limit debate
could be reached
Undoubtedly 1t isl said Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Caffery said no good interests could
be subserved by hasty action. There could
be no relief that could be substantial given
to the reconcentrados, who were the worst
sufferers by the Cuban struggle.
'Those poor people," interjected Mr.. Nor
gan, of Alabama, "are now dying at the
rate of 1000 day while we are Inactive.
Mr. Frye, of Maine, gaining recognition of
the vice president. said: II will answer the
senator from Louisiana (Cafrery) and will
tell him what relief can be given the recon-
centrados. The pathways from the United
States to the island of Cuba will be opened
by our ships of war and following In those
pathways will go vessels of peace loaded
with food and provisions for the starving
people of Cuba, which will be distributed
among them for their relief instantly upon
landing on tho island" tremendous APP

Mr.. Fairbanks (rep.) Of Indiana then took
the floor, and, coming down rapidly to the
situation as Mr.. Mckinley found 1t on as
Stunning the presidency, said: 1.-THE presi-
dents policy was an open one, known to
the world; It was peace with honor above
and beyond all else, and war with honor
only as the last dread emergency. Much
has been accomplished by the executive.

NOTES.

The county democratic executive commit
tee will meet next Saturday at noon for
the purpose of organizing and attending to
such other business as may be brought
before the committee.
The county convention of the republican
party will be called within a few days
to meet probably within the next thirty
days. There is great deal of talk about
the republicans putting out a full county
ticket, and some of the candidates have
even been mentioned Inquiry among the
leaders of that party yesterday failed to
elicit any definite information. They all
said there would be a county convention,
but they would not tell what plans they
had in view.
Thre is no little interest being taken in
the six legislative nominees as to now
they stand on Jefferson's solicitor Both
GREEN'S and Heflins friends claim tnat
their man has at least majority OF the
legislators and that they will finally have
the whole six.

PROF. HENRY TALKS OF HIS RACE

The six legislators nominated by the
county convention Wednesday night was
the absorbing topic of conversation in po-
litical circles yesterday OF course, there
was deal of kicking. There is always talk
of this kind to the effect that this that
man would not have gone through if he
had been voted for in a primary.
you'll find it the case after every con-
yention that was ever held that there are
a number of dissatisfied kickers,'' said b.
A. Thompson, yesterday, but 1 think that
on the whole the legislators chosen are very
strong ones, and will do credit to Jefferson
county in the next general assembly" g
This sentiment was voiced by a number of
other democrats also.
The "Cits.
The talk of the "cits" ticket to the Leg
islature was revived yesterday among some
of those who were dissatisfied with Wednes-
day nights results, but principally by the
popullsts.
There is no longer any question:" said
John t. Shugart, that citizens ticket
of candidates to the legislature will be
put out. L had great hopes that the DEM
ocratic convention would contradict the
public expectation and put out six good
men that everybody would support, but
they didn't.
''They showed both of the miSers' can
didates completely under, and the miners
are as mad as hornets about it. They
didn't give any of the laboring classes
representation, and the railroad men, car
penters, brickmasons, and all of the Ia
Dor organizations, are very much dis
satisfied
II don't know who will make up our six
candidates, but I think 1t possible that we
will endorse S. c. Davidson, one of the
nominees put out by the democrats. Da-
wilson is so near a populist that we feel
that he will make us a good man.
IT don't say what we will do about a
judicial ticket. A number of us went into
the democratic primary, with the under
standing that we would support the jul
dicial nominees and suppose we shall
support them.
81 understand Professor Henry's race to
be purely independent one, and not on
the citizens ticket.
1--WE will have beat meetings on April
% for the purpose of selecting delegates
to the county convention on April 80.
don't think I ever saw our prospects
brighter"

gauotIng in the Convention

II was an intensely interesting sight to
watch the balloting for legislators at the
auditorium the other night. From the first
the most active trading was engaged in.
"You push me through this time and I'll
pull you through the next" was on every
body's tongue.
Each member of delegation would pro-
mise the whole strength of his delegation
on the next ballot for few votes on the
ballot then going on. OF course 1t was i'm
possible to pay the promises, but what did
that matter. At one time one of the candi-
dates needed only six votes to get him
through and none of his friends could see
where they were coming from. They got
together, however, and began a systematic
campaign of promising and although his
delegation was small one, they promised
1877 votes in order to get the two votes
necessary to elect their man. He was
elected on that ballot, but the story doesn't
say whether the next man got his 1877 votes
on the next ballot.
