A HIGH, COLD DIVE
Captain K. P, Speedy's Sensational Perform
 ance at East Lake Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon at East Lake Capt. R. P. Speedy. the champion diver of the world, gave the first of series of exhibi- tions of his daring art. a
 A tower eighty feet high had been erected out in the water of the lake, and off of this Capt. Speedy made his exciting leap. He climbed to the top, and on his rckety perch waited for the small crowd which was present to assemble.
 The wind was blowing fiercely. the crowd had very little enthusiasm and a very cold bath awaited the captain below.
 But finally he stood up, waved his hand to the crowd, jumped far out from the tower, down head-long into the icy wa ters. The audience shivered in sympathy, but almost before he hit the water. 1t seemed. he was swimming serenely to the shore. He had made one of his famous shallow dives in which he scarcely gets under the water.
 Capt. Speedy for several years travelled with a spectacular company in which he dived from the top of the stage into tank only nineteen inches deep.
 The dive at East Lake will be given every afternoon at o'clock and every evening at 'S:30.

The poles to SUD- port the trolley wires have been placed and McClain was engaged at boring holes in the top of the poles in which to> fasten the supporting wires.

JUDGE VIM. M. SPRINGER Believes the Democrats Will Car
 .ry Next Congress. BRYAN WOULD WIN THE DAY If the Election Were Held This Year-Condi- tons May Change-Some Views on
 the Maine Disaster.

Judge Wm. M Springer, of Muskogee, l. T., who was for a number of years, a rep resentative in congress from Illinois, and was at one time chairman of the ways and means committee of the house and one of the democratic leaders, was in the city on Tuesday and Wednesday en route to Florida.
 Judge Springer is a recognized authori- ty on current political questions. He was seen by an Age-Herald reporter during his stay in the city, and was asked what he thought of the present outlook of the dem- ocratic party.
 '"That is a difficult question:" replied Judge Springer. Two years is a long time in politics, and the outcome in 1900 is un- certain. If the convention and election were to be held this year, should unhes- itatingly say that Bryan would be the nominee and that he would be elected By 1900 these conditions may be changed.
 'I think the democrats will obtain a ma- jority of the representatives in congress this fall, but whether they will be able to carry the free coinage plank through or not depends on the size of the majority"
 In regard to the Maine disaster, Judge Springer said that he did not believe the accident theory of the explosion, nor did he think that the Spanish government had authorized the same. He thought that some Spanish fanatic in his enthusiasm for Spain had done it. If this was the case there would be casus belli, nor would anything more than reasonable damages be exacted from Spain. No excessive de- mand for the sake of punishment could be asked for
 Judge Springer thought that President Mckinley would be firm and prompt in his demand on Spain, whatever that de- mand might be. and that the report of the court of inquiry would be awaited and its instructions followed

"NIGGER IN
 THE WOODPTLE" Facts in the Insurance Agents Fight
 Have Developed. THE ROYAL INSURANCE co. Wrote the B'ham Railway and Electric Co.'s Risk Through Dearborn. HAD SECURED A DUAL AGENCY Resolutions Conforming His Actions Were Passed at Meeting of Local Agents
 Yesterday-The Tariff Asso-
 citation Investigates.

As printed in yesterdays Age-Herald, the insurance men of this city were on the verge of a big scrap of some kind, either by rate war or some other method.
 The crisis came yesterday afternoon, when meeting of the local agents was held in the office of the compact agent in the Chalifoux building and resolutions were passed condemning A. K. Dearborn for &C., cepting a dual agency in the Royal Insur- ance company and commenting ". J. Dan- gaix for resigning his original agency with this company as soon as he found that a second agency had been given to another man.
 At Cut Rate
 The facts in the case so far as can be learned are as follows: Several weeks ago insurance circles were startled by the re- port that the Birmingham Railway and Electric company had placed a policy at a cut rate of 50 cents, the rate of the local association being 75 cents.
 The affair has been smoldering ever since until a few days ago it was learned that the policy had been written by the Royal Insurance company through MT. Dearborn, who was not the regular agent of that com- pany in this city. He had been given dual agency in this city and as such had written the policy of the street railway peo- ple
 MT. Dearborn's Claim
 Mir. Dearborn's claims that the charges that he wrote the policy at less rate than 75 cents is untrue, and the matter was taken up and investigated by the South eastern Tariff association in Atlanta yes- terday. What their decision was is un- known.
 The matter that was discussed by the local association yesterday afternoon was whether Mr. Dearborn did right in accept ing a dual agency after signing an agree ment not to do MT. Dearborn accounted for this by stating that he had withdrawn from this agreement some time ago, which statement several of the agents corrob- orated. It was then asked whether an agent had right to withdraw from the agreement without the association voting on 1t. vote was taken and 1t was de- cided that he should not have done so. Mir association, saying that he had not con- sidered the matter in that light. His apol- ogy was accepted, and then MT. Dearborn left the meeting.
 Passe ed Resolutions
 It is understood that after his departure the discussion was continued and resolu- tions to the effect as stated above were passed
 Whether anything else will follow is not known but the agents all seem unanimous in condemning anything that looks like a dissolution of the local association and the bringing on of rate war.

 MT. Aldrich went immediately to the Morris hotel, where he met his brother, T. H. Aldrich. It Is thought that MT.

 It is believed that MT. Aldrich's return at this time is in connection with his pros pective candidacy.
