 Finance committee of seven members.
 Advisory committee, consisting ofS Chas. w. Hooper. of Dallas; Sidney J. Bowie, of Calhoun; John V. Smith, of Lee; John C: Eyster, of Morgan; William H. Tisdale, of Montgomery; Frank P. O'Brien, of Jeffer- son; L. B. Musgrove, of Walker.
 MT. White thanked the meeting for the honor shown him and declared that he would devote the best impulses and ener- gies of his life to the fight for Morgan up- on which they had entered. Morgan was the bright light that bt1r~a -ued in the senate for more than twenty years, and the light should continue to shine The welfare of the state, the life of the demo- cratic party was at stake. With Morgan at the front, where he has fought so long, so ably. so n6bly, the party in Alabama and the state itself would thrive. "Fhe welfare of the state and the nation is in our hands,"
 John H. Wallace, of Madison, said that his county was absolutely safe for Morgan. He didn't know but three Johnston men in the county.
 Sumter county was reported as certainly safe for Morgan
 Richard Adams, of Morgan, declared that resolutions were of no avail. What was needed was work, and money for legitimate
  speech-makfng.
 Enthusiastic Speeches
 S. J. Bowie, of Calhoun, said that his county was safe for Morgan. They had before them in the state the most desperate fight the party had ever had. It was a fight for the integrity of the party. The question for them was whether treason should triumph. All that was needed was organization. The people must be in- nod nd thnxr oraiz and Ao their duty. Let no beat in Alabama go by default against Morgan. Let there be a Morgan club in every beat in every county. Send word down the line that this was fight for the democratic party.
 O. c. Maner, of Montgomery, said that olub. Out of seventy-five men he met cas- ually, only three refused to sign the list for the club. He thought the club would have fully 1.500 members.
 Frank s. White, of Jefferson, as chair man of the campaign committee, said he desired 1t to be understood that every mem Der of that great influential meeting would be held to be an honorary member of the committee. Let every one go homo and organize his own beat and work for the organization of his own county. w. B. Boiling, of Chambers, said that his county would give Morgan 1000 ma jorfty, and that Tallapoosa and Randolph were safe for Morgan. Hundreds of orfgl- nal. Johnston men were now supporting Morgan.
 The conference, at 4:10 p. m., adjourned. In attendance there were over one hun dred of the most representative men of the state
 The headquarters of the committee will be in Birmingham and win be formally opened next Tuesday, on which day the names of the members of the campaign and finance committees will be made public.

PITTSBURG CAPITALISTS
 ARE IN THE DISTRICT
Joseph E. schwab, President of the Carnegie Company, and Party of Friends
 Arrived Last Night.

Joseph E. Schwab, president of the Car negie company Qimited); B. F. Wood and J. Wildman Murray, of Pittsburg, Pa, arr rived in the city last night and are regis tered at the Morris. When an Age-Herald reporter called to see them they had retired, but from a gentleman who talked with them, it was learned that they were here ito look over the district, with the view of possible investments.
 It will be recalled that a few weeks ago H. c. Prick, for many years the head of the Carnegie interests in Pennsylvania, severed his connection with that company, and that report was circulated to the effect that he was organizing a great iron and steel corporation to rival the Carnegie company.
 It was stated at the time that MT. Prick and associates had their eyes on the Ala bama mineral regions and certain properties in the state.
 It was suggested last night that the visit of MT. Schwab might be in the nature of a counter move and that his company might probably make investments in the Birming- ham district.

JOHN T. EVANS AND
 HI. RIkERS HELD UP
Two Well Known Young Men Stopped by a Burley Negro in Twenty-sec-
 ond Street

John T. Evans and T. H. Riker, two well known young men, were held up last night in Twenty-second street by a burley negro who was frightened off by the time ly use of pistol.
 The young men were on their way home, and when passing Sixth alley, a negro ap- preached young Evans and asked him for 8 match. Evans replied that he had no match, whereupon the negro demanded him to "give up what you've got"
 Rickens, who had fallen behind his friend seeing that something was up, hastened forward and took in the situation at a glance Evans cried out to him to shoot, which command was promptly obeyed. In the meantime the negro saw the supporting column approach and ran up the alley both young men taking 9 shot at him in the darkness.
 Returning to the city, they reported tsne affair to Captain Weir at police headquar- ters, who detailed Officers Brown and Pat ton to look into the&matter. These officers immediately went to the scene, but could see nothing of the man.
 At the time young Evans cried out to his friend to shoot the negro had raised a club to strike him, and but for the timely arrival of Riker is is quite probable that the negro would have felled Evans to the ground.
 Evans and his friend thought that one of their shots had taken effect, as they heard the negro fall and cry out as if hit. The police are on the lookout for wound ed negro, aSd may have him before the day is over. Young Evans is the son of fcrmN Mayor Frank V. Evans, and his friend Riker formerly general man. ager of the special messenger service on Twentieth street.

Adams, ex- secretary of the Kickerbocl<er Athletic club, and Harry Cornish. The most inter- estins point in connection with MT. Adams testimony was his positive identificaton of the handwriting on the poison package as that of Molineux. The testimony of Cor nish consisted largely of detai.ed descrip- ticns elf the scenes on the morning of the murder at the Adams flat. Recorder Golf refused to allow MT. Weeks to ask any souestions as to the present whereabouts of Mrs, Cornish, the wife of the witness. and why Mir and Mrs. Rogers, the latter the daughter of Mrs. Adams, had separated. Few new facts were elicited. Adjournment was taken until next Tuesday.

  2,O00 men in the county to vote at the next election who did not vote at the last elec- tion. They were newcomers, mostly from North of the Ohio river This fact must be taken into consideration. An organized attempt was being made to secure this vote for Johnston.
 w. J. Parkes, of Jefferson said that out of the GOO voters at Woodlawn, 400 were for Morgan, and all the northern end of the county was for Morgan
 l.. Y. Lipscomb, of Jefferson, said the northern end of the county was for Nor gan. Johnston wouldn't carry more than two beats. In Bessemer, he believed, nine- tenths of the voters were for Morgan. J. B. Graham, of Talladega, gave cheer ing news from his county, the old home of Morgan. The senator had done noby well and his people would bless him with a re- newed and emphatic declaration of conf dence. He begged that the dignity andrew erence of the American senate be not cheapened by AlaIbamans by displacing daring before the sound of our guns, belted and spurred with our gloory. Talladega was safe for Morgan.
