His brains were strewn around all over the track. The body was thrown down an embankment.
 Jones was arrested in Birmingham about ? o'clock Saturday for drunkenness, but was released on bail about o'clock. Later he was seen very drunk, and it is supposed that when he got off of the car at Powderly he fell asleep on the track, and in his stupor failed to awake when the train approached This was the verdict rendered by the coro- ner's jury which investigated the case yes- terday afternoon.
 The remains were buried yesterday morn- ing at Powderly. Jones left a wife and nine children.

Alderman Henry B. Gray will be the act ing mayor during the absence of Mayor F. V. Evans in Washington.
 There will be a meeting of the city coun- cil on Wednesday night, which is the reg ular monthly session.
 Besides the regular routine matters, it is expected that some action will be taken on the gas question. It is probable that proposals will be invited from parties who desire to build a plant to furnish the citi- zens of Birmingham cheaper gas.
 It is also expected that the matter of ap- propriations-to the city schools will be con- sidered. It has been known for some time that the council would be asked for d monthly allowance, and it is predicted that there will be very little discussion over the matter.

ten months of incessant but patient suffering
from Bright's disease, Mr.. Juo. W Payne

Mr.. Payne was born in Frederick City on
June 1. 1928, and when lie had grown to
manhood followed the trade of coopering in
that city for q number of years and then
purchased and removed to farm about three
miles northeast of town, where he lived
until about thirteen years ago, then removing
to the home in this town where he spent the
| remainder of his life in retirement from
active duties
He was twice married, his first wife Miss
Doll of Frederick and in 1885 he married
Miss Eek who, with five children of the first
wife, three daughters and two sons, survive
HIM. He was life long member of the
Catholic church.
The funeral will take place today Thursday
in Frederick.
Mr.. Paine needs no words of praise to
those who were acquainted with him, his
free, open hearted and congenial manner to
all, speaking more than words can express
While engaged in the active duties of life he
was energetic. honest and true and won
friends among those who appreciate the
nob,cncss of true man. Since being a
resident cf our town he has always displayed
lively interest in all things beneficial TO it.

deriug in their tree and easy way, ana
taking whatever they wanted whenever
they found it, has been the ordinary
occupatit of many of them for years,
and it would be as easy to round up
ain equal number OF American hoboes
aud make them adopt a regular occu-
Patton, as it would be TO make orderly
workmen out of the insurgents. There
are many of the insurgents who will,
in my opinion, become brigands, rather
than to work for living, just as q
number of them did at the close of the
last Cuban instruction. If they do.
they will make no end of trouble Tor
our army occupation, as the mountains
of Cuba are difficult Of access, except
to the natives, and the natives vino do
not Join the brigands cannot be de.
pended upon to render the slightest
assistance to any movement against
them. 1t is a great pity that the Pres
idents word prevents the United States
annexing Cuba at once; there isn't the
slightest doubt its coming to that in
the end. Meanwhile there will be lots
of trouble in Cuba, as we try to live up
to our promise, that the island shall
have a stable government. 1t is my
opinion that no stable government will
ever exist in Cuba, except that OF the
United States, and I feel certain that
nine out Of every ten property holders
on the island, regardless of their ma
tional;ty, hold the same opinion"
There is very little probability that
an extra session of the Senate will have
to be called to ratify the treaty of peace
that is to be negotiated with Spain, for
the very good reason that the treaty is
not likely to be ready before Congress
assemblies for the regular session, in
December. The protocol or temporary
peace agreement of the two govern.
ments, provides that the joint commits
sion, charged with the duty of negoti
ating the treaty, shall meet at Paris,
not later than October 1, next. The
we'll known disposition of the Spanish
to postpone, makes it practically GER
tai1 that the Commissioners represent
ing Spain will not be there any car.
lier than that mentioned as the last
upon which they can meet our commits
sioners. AS the PHILIPPINES will be the
subject of the most controversy, it il
among the probabilities that the com
mission may visit the island. If so
that would consume at least six week;
time. Diplomats, who know something
of the inside workings of such commits
sions, do not expect the treaty to b.
completed much, if any. before the frs
OF the year, and would not be surprise,
should it be several weeks after tina
before the treaty was signed.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, AUGUST Is, 1898.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. AUGUST Is, 1898.
Although Spain has accepted our
terms OF peace and there is not likely
to be any more fighting, unless there
should be deadlock in the peace com.
mission over the disposition Of the
PHILIPPINES, the expenditures Of this
government are likely to be quite as
heavy. if not heavier, for sometime to
come as they were while the war was
going on. This may sound little
queer, but it is easily explained. The
expenses of the army will not be less
ened until we begin to muster the
troops out Of service, and that is mat.
ter not even yet thought of, as we shall
have to garrison Porto Rico and Cuba =,
the latter quite heavily, tor nobody
knows how long, and the expenses of
the Navy will be increased, instead of
lessened, as orders have already been
issued to overhaul all Of our heavy
fighting ships as quickly as possible.
In addition to these expenses, the Pres.
ident has decided that it is our duty to
feed everybody in Cuba that needs
food, including the Spanish soldiers,
until such time as they can feed them.
selves, and Government rations are al.
ready on the way. A strict account
will be kept of all food furnished Span.
ish soldiers in Cuba, and Spain will be
made to reimburse us, but the 1ations
issued to others in Cuba, will simply
be charged up to war expenses, and
from all accounts, it will not be small
sum that will have to be expended for
that purpose. All these things com.
bined will make our peace expenses
heavier than our war expenses, for a
time.
The military commissions to arrange
for the time and method of Spanish
evacuation Of Cuba and Porto Rico will
at once be appointed, but it is likely to
months before the last Spanish troops
leaves Cuba. In Porto Rico there are
fewer Of them and they will probably
