Robbers in Alabama Murder Two Women and
Fire Their House.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 19.-Tele-

of horrible crime at the MERGERS PLAN
ia ton near Josie post office. eight miles
from Banks.
Mrs. Ida Meyers. wealthy WIDOW,
and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. E. Mey-
ers. also widow, conducted store.
and it was known that they kept a
large amount of money in the dwelling
across the road from the store. A
young man named Cook was employed
to superintend the farm and he occu-
pied a room in the house. Some time
between midnight and day Cook was
aroused by a noise in the room of the
elder Mrs. Meyers. He sprang out of
bed and ran to the door of the room
and saw Mrs. Meyers struggling with
two strange men.
He rushed TO her assistance and was
knocked senseless with a club. When
he regained consciousness he found the
house on fire and the elder Mrs. Meyers
apparently dead on the floor. Drag
cling her from the fire he went in search
of the younger Mrs. Meyers and found
her dead in her room, her brains hav-
ing been beaten out. He rescued her
body just in time from the flames.
He then rang the farm bell and
aroused the neighbors who came in
great numbers but We're too late to
save the house or any of its contents.
1t is believed that the robbers OBJ
tanned about $4,000 in cash and evidently
they thought they had killed all three
parties and fired the house to cover up
their crime. The ueighbol'hood is
greatly excited and scores of men are
out searching for the miscreants. who
if caught. will doubtless be lynched.
At last accounts no clue had been dis
covered. The condition of the elder
Mrs. Meyers is critical.

es very satisfactory showing, though
at several points they were overlooked
Their experience in this war, she con-
tended, demonstrated that they might
be profitably employed in the future.
and that they were preferable to male
nurses, the latter not being trained.
She urged the adoption of the Eng
1ish system of army nurses, which em-
braces a period of two months in army
hospitals. This recommendation is
now being considered by Surgeon Gen
eral Stennberg.
On the 18th of Sept. Rev. T. S. Ham
lin, pastor of the Church of the Cow
enant in this city, delivered a sermon

ance, the secretary wrote to DR.. Ham,
lin, asking him to furnish the commits
sion with the facts within his personal
knowledge and experience upon which
ne based his charge.

Hamlin has replied that he based his
statement upon matters of current
knowledge and published reports and
had no personal experience.

AN IMMENSE FIELD.
Bank Of Nova Scotia Thinks There is Great
Opportunities In Cuba.

Halifax, N. s., Dec. 19.-Inspector
Waters of the Bank of Novia Scotia
states that General Manager Mcleod
is now in Cuba and that in all proba-
bility if the bank establishes branches
at Havana and other points. it will do
the financial business of the Cuban
Electric Co. of New Jersey which has
secured the Havana and Santiago
street railways concessions. The re-
port that the Bank of Novia Scotia
was a partner of the syndicate was in
correct as nothing of the kind is per-
missable under the Dominion bank
charters.
The extension of the banks business
to Cuba is allowable where as under
the United States banking system ma
tional banks cannot so easily do bust
ness in a foreign land sucn as Cuba.
They can go to Porto Rico. which is q
United States possession. An immense

ness of that island.
