SAT DOWN ON GAY.
Insurance Men Refuse to Endorse the
 Universal Mercantile Schedule.

Norfolk, Va. May 25.-The feature of the second days session of the Southeastern Tariff association at Old Point was the unanimous refusal of the members to en- dorse the proposition of President Gay that the universal mercantile schedule be used by insurance companies in the future.
 The president made an earnest argument in behalf of his recommendation. The sub- ject precipitated a lively discussion. It was held that the universal system Of rating Is the only really scientific method yet discovered. Its classes and gradua- tions cover the various different classes of risks thoroughly, the scale of rates varying with location of buildings and with minute detail regarding the character of their contents. Nearly all the members who spoke in praise of the schedule, how ever, declared it was not the system at present needed by the Southeastern asso- citation. Insurance Commissioner of North Carolina, James R. Young, addressed the association, explaining the Willard and Craig laws of his state.
 At the afternoon and evening sessions the New Orleans compact natter was taken up. It involves the compensation of agents, and is one of the important sub- jects before the body. The discussion will extend into tomorrow's session.

city council on June T. providing for the inspection of all meats, vegetables and milk offered for sale in the city of Birming- ham. This charter is being prepared in accordance with the new charter of the city, which contains provision of this na- ture. The ordinance will also provide for the appointment of an inspector, whose duty it shall be to see that the provisions of the ordinance are carried out. It is not everybody that knows how to inspect meat, vegetables and milk, and it is very probable that a man will be chosen for this office who has had course of training in this line.
 Montgomery has an ordinance of this kind, and it is said to be working splen- didly. Monthly reports are published by the city physician, at the head of the health department, showing the condition of the slaughter houses, the meat and vegetable markets and the dairies in and around the city.

BROWNS SUDDEN
 DISAPPEARANCE
Came to Montgomery as MyS-
 teriousIy as He Left.
NOTHING KNOWN ABOUT HIM
Fire at Mount Meigs Which Destroyed aBarn With Much Feed Stuff
 Eight Mules and Sever-
 al Cows Cremated.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Montgomery, May 25.-(Special.) 1.-The story of the sudden disappearance of Harry A. Brown, the bookkeeper and confidential man of Hobbie & Teague created quite a surprise in the city yesterday and was general subject of conversation.
 It seems that Brown came here in De- cember, 1897, and stopped at hotel, putting an advertisement in a local paper for board in a private family. Mir. Yarbrough an- swered the advertisement and Brown went to his house in Adams street in December, 1897, and remained there several months, in fact, until September, 1898. Marlborough knew nothing of the man and does not know now that his name was Brown at all. He was sick when he went to Yarbrough's and was crutches sometime after going there. In a short time he got employment at the Louisville and Nashville railroad offices through MT. Mitchell and remained in this position until he went with Hobbie & Teague in September last when he went to MT. Garland's to board.
 No Fault to Find With Him
 Browns employers do not seem to know much about him, and have no fault to find with him nor have they had any suspicion that anything was wrong, except that he has been behind in his work lately and there were frequent bills for hack hire being sent him.
 They say that if he has taken any money with him that they do not know it, and that 1t certainly cannot be much, but that his accounts are being investigated. Brown claimed to be from New York and is about 40 years old. Nobody knows any thing about where he came from nor where he has gone. He went as he came with an air of mystery. He was behind with his board and it is pretty certain that he was short in his accounts
 Fire at Mount Meigs
 News reached the city this morning of a fire at Mount Meigs in this county last night in which MT. Max Dean lost his barn and stable with lot of corn and hay and eight mules and several cows and other property.
 The particulars have not been learned, but the fire seems to have been very de- strucuve, and the loss will fall very heavily on MT. Dean.

DOCTORS PROTEST.
Do Not Want Spanish Cruiser Dis
 mantied at Norfolk.

Norfolk, Va, May 25.-While all prepara- tions are being made for maritime exhl- bition in honor of the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes at the Norfolk navy yard, the board of health of the city adopted resolu- tions today protesting against her being dismantled here.
 This protest was formally filed with Dr. P. S. Hope, state quarantine officer, who has called public meeting of all officials of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkely today to hear the matter discussed. Dr. Hope says the Mercedes has been under water eight months, never infected as far as known, as been thoroughly fumlngated and washed out, was eight days in transit and nve days in quarantine here and he believes with Surgeon-General Wyman and Dr. Pettus that there is no danger.
 The board of health does not seriously object to the Mercedes being brought to these yards.
 Notwithstanding objections, the cruiser Will come up Saturday morning.

STATE FINISHES.
Defense for Mrs. George Begins Ex-
aiming Witnesses-Tempor
Insanity May BE the Plea.

Canton, O., April 19.-In the trial of
Mrs. Anna E. George for numbering
George d. Saxton, the state rested be-
bore the adjournment of court Monday
night and the defense began Tuesday
with it's long list of witnesses. There
is strong intimation that the plea will
be temporary or emotional insanity
superinduced by the wrongs said to
have been suffered by the defendant.
The defense spent the first half of the
day in reading dispositions regarding
her trip to South Dakota to get di-
vorce from Sample George, her life
while there and the visits Saxton paid
to her. The remainder of the day was
occupied in examining witnesses on
matters connected directly with the
homicide and in answer to the testi-
mony introduced on the part of the
state. The attorneys for the defense
now talk of finishing their testimony
this week, but say if they do they will
not call all of the 100 or more witnesses
subpoenaed,
