~THE PLAYS

The Fatal Check was presented by the
Robson Theater company at O'Briens
opera house last night to good audience,
and it is needless to add that 1t pleased
every one.
The people composing the cast worked
with increasing energy, and won well
merited applause, especially in the third
act, where Mr.. Langdon appeared at his
best. This afternoon East Lynn" will be
put on, and no doubt a large audience will
witness the presentation of this famous
piece by very excellent company. 1.-THE
Backwoodsman" will be tonight's bill.

yond Avondale. The evidence aga,ns

yond Avondale The evidence against
Cook was purely circumstantial, the state
relying principally upon the alleged fact
that the county dogs, who were put upon
the trail of the murderer soon after the
tragedy. followed 1t to the house where
Cook lived and where he was found
alseep.
Cook was sentenced to hang on January
Il, but an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court, which recently affirmed the
decision of the lower court and re-sentenc-
ed the unfortunate negro to hang ON Fri
day, June &c.
Many persons have expressed the opinion
that Cook is innocent of the crime, and
as a last resort Governor Johnston will be
asked to commute his sentence to life i'm
prisonment.

Fire Caused by Electric Wire

A small fire occurred in the second floor
of building in First alley near Twenty
first street last night An electric wire
had fallen to the floor, causing the wood
work to ignite. The occupants of the
building became frightened and turned In
an alarm to the North Side fire depart
ment. On reaching the place the firemen
soon had the flames extinguished and the
wire removed. Comparatively no damage
was suffered.

sues within the party. Like all other OBJ
servant democrats, he expected that his
party would enter upon the contest of 1900
perfectly united upon broad party policies,
without even a shadow of pickering or d.
vision in the ranks respecting any indivld-
ual or any ISSUE But the situation Is not
as he hoped it would be. The party is sep
arated into two divisions that are apparent
" beyond the reach of reconciliation. In
these circumstances, those who know Cen
eral Shelley best believe that he may be
averse to asking for the nomination to tho
governorship. But in his own good time
he will give expression to his wishes.
Probable Candidate from Jefferson
Senator Cunningham declines to say
whether he will be a candidate, and respect
for him prevents the giving out of his name
as one who will ask for the gubernatorial
nomination. But there can be no impropri-
ETY. in saying that it is very generally be-.
lieved in Jefferson county and throughout
the state that he will be a candidate. In
deed, his candidature is most probable.
Newton N. Clements, of Tuscaloosa. sew
eral times speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, and formerly a member of con-
gress, declared last November that it was
his intention to be a candidate for govern
or. and he probably will be; but whether
lie has changed his mind cannot be def
nitely stated now.
speaker OF Present House
The speaker Of the house, the Hon.
Charles M. Waller, of Hale. Is often refer
red to as a probable candidate; but his
wishes in the matter have not been con-
veyed to his friends in Birmingham. so far
as can be ascertained. 1t may be stated,
however, that his candidature is quito
probable.
The other high offices of state have at
tracted as yet no attention, the authorship
excepted. For that place three candidates
are announced: Senator w. H. Mathews,
of Marion; Representative ]. ]. Mitchell,
of Lauderdale, and Sam Carpenter, of
Greene.
Our Friends the Enemy
The address of Chairman G. B. Grove, of
the state populist executive committee, to
his party, given out yesterday by The
Age-Herald, is likely to create great
sensation in state politics. Locally It was
very generally discussed, and was without
exception regarded as a shrewd, business
like, and able utterance. Chairman
Groves commentator of Governor john
ston and the majority of the democratic
legislature for repeating the act calling a
constitutional convention was declared to
be eminently deserved by the joint power
of repeal. Politically, it was held to be of
the deepest significance. The sounding of
the populist battle cry for 1900 was clear,
