HAD DIFFICULTY
 WITH TWO NEGROES George Jones, Former Policeman, Killed Negro Named Lee. THE CITY COUNCIL MEETS Ordinance Requiring Water Company to Put Down Lead Pipes Was
 Repealed Man Run
 Down by Train.

Bessemer, June 21.-(Special.) l.)-George W. Jones, who used to be a policeman here, but now in charge of the stock house at the Woodward furnaces, had difficulty with couple of negroes at Woodward last night, which resulted in his shooting and instantly killing Jim Lee, one of the men. Jones' quarrel was with the other man, but Lee interfered and struck Jones with a monkey wrench when the latter pulled his pistol and fired, killing him.
 Jones was placed under arrest and brought to Bessemer and tried this after noon before Esquire Jackson. The evidence showed Jones to have acted in self-defense and the case was dismissed.
 At the regular meeting of the city coun- ell last night the following ordinance had it's first reading: To repeal former ordi- nance requiring the water works to use lead pipes in all connections in the city limits
 The water works company, it is under stood, asked the repeal of the old ordi- nance to facilitate the sale of the works to the syndicate which contemplates its purchase. The latter does not wish to be hampered with the Head pipe" clause.
 An ordinance also passed it's first read ing requiring fire escapes to be placed on all buildings which the council thought required them.
 c. H. Spencer, well-known citizen, who has lived here since Bessemer's earliest days, has announced himself a candidate for the office of mayor. MT. Spencer who is populist has always taken lively in- terest in politics, writing some scathing de- nunciations of the methods of his demo- cratic brethren in the local press. His can didacy will not doubt greatly enliven the coming contest. MT. Spencer is an indepen- dent candidate, subject to no party.
 Dr. William Moore, of Sheffield, who Is in town selling some preparation of his own invention, was run over by freight train on the Alabama Great Southern track this morning. The accident occurred at the in- tersection of Twenty-iist street and Day and Carolina avenues. The old gentleman, who was quite deaf did not hear the train approaching. He received injuries in the head and in the side, where he was struck by the cowcatcher, which nlIy prove se- rious. He has lain unconscioi9imost of the time.

RUBE BURROWS
 FATHER IS DEAD Aged Parent of the Noted Outlaw Bore His Aff1iction With
 StoiciSm.

Sulligent, June N.-(Special.) .)-Allan Bur rows, the aged father of Rube Burrows, the noted outlaw, died at his home near Vernon Sunday at noon.
 MT. Burrows had been afflicted quite a while, but bore his affliction with that same stoicism that was one of the distinguished characteristics of his outlaw son. He was widely known because of Rube's misdeeds, but did not seem to relish the notoriety, though he would at intervals tell with a degree of satisfaction of the brigands s willy schemes, whereby he baffied the off, cers of the law in their determined search for him.
 The old man was not lacking in friends, for his kindliness had made him very popu- lar in the region in which he resided.

Ihe case was reported to DR.. Monroe
yesterday afternoon and the Wilson

monroe stated that while the case was

DR.. Monroe found the Graham girl
yesterday, who went to DR.. Johnston
some days ago to inquire what allied
her and was told she had smallpox.
She was at her home and had been
there for couple of days. DR.. Monroe
stated that the young lady has nm
doubtedly had smallpox and is now
nearly we'll. When he asked her where
she had stayed the night she was away
from home she refused to tell him.
DR.. Monroe stated last evening that
all the cases in his jurisdiction, which
embraces all those not sent to the pest
house. are progressing favorably and
that there is no likelihood at present
Of any of them proving fatal. All tha
cases at the pesthouse were also report
ed last evening as rapidly improving.
A petition is being circulated by the
business men of West Park street,
which will be presented to the board Of
health, asking that the smallpox signs
at the Maule and Stephens blocks be
taken down, as they are said to injure
the business Of that part Of the street.
The petition represents y to be the be

the public good. The petition will be

MONEY WILL BE
EASIER SOON
Washington Expects It Will Flow Bacl,
From the West in Payment
OF Debts H.

Washington, Nov. 12-Treasury Off
Gals except that within a short time,
the money drawn from the financial in
situations of the East for the move
ment OF crops and other purposes in
the West will begin to find its way TO
New York and that apparent stringency
IN money Will be accordingly relaxed
This return, which this year, they say,
appears to be somewhat later than
usual, will be brought about by the
payment of the debts contracted by
business men in the West whose notes
either already have matured or are
closely approaching maturity. Mean
time authorities here declare that no
exigency exists for relief measures and
pending an exigency no action in that
direction is contemplated. A leading
official of the treasury department to-
night said:
I'm our opinion, as soon as the great
amount of money which has been used
in the West begins to return to the
banks in the East. money will be easier
and matters resume their normal con-
dition. The OUTLAWS of the government
are about equal to its receipts, which
shows that the department is not hoard
Ing any great amount Of money. Since
the beginning Of the fiscal year the re-
ceipts have exceeded the Expenditures by
ABOUT Sb,OOo,0O0, While during the month
Of November the expenditures have ex-
ceded the receipts by between $4,000, 900
and $4O00,00O. The fact that the hold
ings Of the New York banks are
$2,5O0O00 below the requirements is not
matter Of special significance. If they
were that amount in excess Of require
ments, the difference would be only
S57,000,000. not a great amount when
their total legal holdings are approx
mately s1s0.000,oO0. SO you see that ques-
ton is one more of sentiment than any
thing else.
Had this deficit appeared before the
great demand from the West for funds
took place, then the question is one
which might cause some concern. but
all they want is now applied and the
natural result must be that this money
will soon find its way to the centers
whence it was taken" .

of vital Importance to American muni-
cipalities will be discussed at the fourth
annual meeting of the National NUM-
cipal League, which will be held here
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of this week. More than 200 delegates
from the various affiliated organiza-
tions in all parts of the country will
attend. The most important business
will be the discussion of the "muni-
cipal programme" which aims to pre-
sent form of government under which
municipalities will be least subject to
corruption and offer most advantages
for substantial growth. 1t includes
municipal corporation act, which pro-
poses some radical changes in the pres
ent municipal system and makes ample
provision for municipal ownership and
operation of franchises and for the re-
form of the civil service.
The programme will be presented as
the report of the committee of seven
which was appointed at the Louisville
meeting two years ago. A report was
drafted last year, but was not acted
upon, and it has since been carefully
revised and perfected. 1t will be pre-

SUFFRAGE AGITATION.

There is vast difference between the
woman's suffrage meetings of to-day and
of fifty, thirty, even twenty-five years ago.
In the old days the advocates of equal
rights for women met with active opposi-
ton; such gathering as that held in In
sneers and cheap wit. and not only the
leaders i'm the movement, but men and
women showing sympathy with them and
their ideas were stigmatized as "cranks,"
freaks and unaccountable persons gener-
ally. No invective was too severe to be
hurled at the leaders by pulpit and press,
ridicule and personal abuse rather than
dignified counter-argunent being the rule
with the opposition. Only women of I'M
common force of character and strong
faith in their undertaking could have car
ried on such a crusade. 1t was a case of
the survival of the fittest. Women who,
like Miss Anthony, were undismayed by
obstacle and ridicule and declined to give
up the fight have lived to see insults and
open opposition cease and to find them
society, with no lack of friends ready to
speak for them and their cause The gen.
eral public is no longer antagonistic; it is
simply Indifferent to the agitation. on the
subject.
This change Of attitude may be regarded
an indication of progress. but it may be
doubled If the experienced campaigners
would not, after all, prefer direct OPPOSE
ton to Indifference as being easier TO fight.
To go atilt against determined and lively
enemies is inspiring to the fighter, but,
what is more. attracts the attention of the
multitude looking on. To reach a time
when no one takes enough interest in the
cause to become its enemy. while yet the
end sought is far from being attained, is
necessarily to arrive at discouraging
point. The majority of intelligent, broad
minded men are free 10 acknowledge the
justice of many of the equal suffragists'
claims and are even willing to concede the
expediency of granting the privilege to
women under certain circumstances, but
they cannot, apparently, be aroused TO
enough interest in the subject TO take
measures toward bestowing the privilege.
The chief reason of their lack of interest
is the indifference of most women. ItVs an
old charge to say that women, as class, do
not wish to vote, but it is as true as ever.
Curiously enough, too, the rapid progress
of women in other directions. their en-
trance into the industrial world. their par
ticipation in many public activities, their
educational advantages, have not seemed
greatly to change this attitude. Club life
has made women familiar with parlia-

nish at least one woman able TO preside
over a meeting or to make an after-dinner
speech. But club women are not neces-
sarlly In sympathy with the equal suffrage
movement. The majority OF business and
professional women are not identified with
the cause. Doubtless few would refuse to
admit the justice of the argument in its
favor, but individually they care little
about 1T. 1t is a hrrculean task the cham
pions of suffrage have now before them-
that of making indifference give way to en-
thusiasm. 1t was much easier to secure in
tellectual conviction. If the members of
the newiy-formed Indiana suffrage organi-
cation can succeed i'm doing this they will
accomplish more than has been achieved in
any State this side of Colorado. And If en-
thusiasn ever existed there, as 1t presuma-
bly, did when the law granting equal rights
to women was passed. there is at least
room for suspicion that it does not exist
now. E-rz
