. DID NOT MATERIALIzE.
Committee Appointed to Aid MT. East
 mans Reformatory Scheme.

Three committees were to have met at the Commercial club rooms yesterday, but none of them materialized.
 The committees appointed by the club to assist Dr. Eastman in the selection of site for the erection of the Industrial School and Military Institute, which the society he represents is endeavoring to erect in Birmingham, was to have held meet ing, ebut owing to the absence of Charles G. Brown, one of the most active members of the committee, the meeting was post poned until Friday.
 Dr. Eastman stiii talks most encourag- ingly of the plan, and says it has been de- cfded to add another very important branch of education to the school, that of military the legislature will doubtless give the grounds at Mount Vernon if they are wanted for the purpose of establishing military department of the school. The 400 or 800 older boys who will be in this advanced department, Dr. Eastman says can be taken down there during the winter months and brought back to Birmingham during the six summer months. This will be great advantage, he thinks, and will enable the school to turn out all of its boys we'll fitted for military duty.
 Another meeting that was to have been held in the Commercial club rooms was that of the directors of the Auditorium, who wish to devise ways for putting the finishing touches on that big building as soon as possible
 The directors of the natatorium were also to have held one of their regular meet tngs, but for some reason it was postponed.

pr. Broughton Continues the Reviv a
 Services

pr. Broughtou, of Atlanta, continued his series of revival sermons last night at the First Baptist church, in the presence of "a splendid congregation. There were great many more present than there were on the opening night.
 He took forshis subject "The Holy Ghost and Experience from John, iv-ii. Here by Know Ye the Spirit of God" He went on in his own attractive and lively manner to tell of the duties of Christian 4Ie dwelt on the fact that the possession of g. single vice by a man who is otherwise model Christian, will prevent the Holy Ghost from ever working to best advantage in this man. This Is true of man with a bad temper or withSa any other sin. E

THE BRAIN CASE.
Still Another Attempt to Be Made TO Free Him
from Prison.

Boston, Oct 2i--The Globe. this after
noon, says: The apparently interminabIe
Bran case may be brought to the public
eye again within the next few weeks The
grand jury of the circuit court Of the
United States for this district will come
in, Dec. /. and it is not improbable that
the government will ask the grand Jury
to return a new Indictment against
Thomas NJ. Bran, charging him with the
murder of Blumberg, the second mate of
! the Herbert Fuller.
Bran is now in state prison. having
been sentenced for life for the murder OF
Captain Charles 1. Nash So far as in
structions from the attorney general have
yet gone, they are to the effect that Bran
VII again be put on trial for murder
This direction of the attorney general
issued some months ago. has not since
been revoked and the outcome of it will
probably be another long trial.
The prisoners counsel may at any time
bring the Nash case before the supreme
court of the United States on a writ OF
habeas corpus, claiming that under the
indictment on which Bran was last tried
the jury was not empowered to bring in
the modified verdict they did. Should
the supreme court hold with this conten-
ton and the sailor witnesses in the mean
time having gone out of reach of the
government. there would be nothing left
but to allow Bran to go free unless a
new indictment should be drawn llp
charging Bran with another of the Full
Ter murders.

The newspapers here, today. warmly
praise the exposition of the French
side of the Fashoda question presented
by the minister of foreign affairs, NJ
Delcasse, in the Yellow Book on the
subject issued, yesterday.
Figaro says: IF the British govern
nent rejects Frances moderate ana
just proposals it can only be because
the government of Great Britain de-
sires before everything else the hui
initiation of France"
The general tone of the French press
comments are reflected by the Eclair,
which says: AN agreement regard
Ell Great Britain does not persist in
asking for the immediate recall of Ma
jor Marchand. But as an outlet on the
Nile, we have an absolute right there
to and will brook no refusal
The Steele, after urging peace, says:
France would hardly come off better
in war with England than did Spain
in the war with the United States.
France would be better employed in
developing her colonies than in thwart-
ing England"
The Autorite declares that France
ought never to have gone to Fashoda

now England calls on us to get out
Well, it is no use talking. we shall
have TO get out, otherwise there will
be war, which will be madness"
