RIP. F. BEASLEY
HAS RESIGNED
Sewers His Connection With the
[. & N. Railroad.
WILL ENTER A NEW FIELD
Lays Down Duties of Passenger Agent
to Become Theatrical Manager
After Long Term OF Service
His Popularity

Rip F. Beasley, travelling passenger agent
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
with headquarters in this city, has tender
ed his resignation, to take effect as soon
as his successor is appointed.
Mr.. Beasley has been connected with the
Louisville and Nashville for many years,
and a more popular passenger man is not
known in the country For years he had
charge of the theatrical movements for the
Louisville and Nashville In this territory,
and his love and fitness for that business
has decided him to resign his position as
passenger agent at Birmingham to devote
his entire time to his two theatrical COM
panies that are booked throughout the
southern territory, and are doing thriv-
ing business on the Pacific slope.
Mr. Beasley leaves Immediately for
Brunswick to take personal charge of one
of his companies; but his family will, hap
PLY, remain al their home IN Birmingham,
and he will see his Birmingham friends
once in every two or three weeks. He sew
ers his relations with the Louisville AMI
Nashville for purely business reasons, be-
lievng that it will prove to be more profit
able to devote his entire time to his theat-
rieal ventures
1t is understood that the highest authori-
ties of the Louisville and Nashville road
relinquish Mr.. Beasleys services with very
earnest regret, for he is exceedingly popu-
lar and efficient in his work Mr.. Beasley
may rest assured of one fact-everybody
in Birmingham will wish him well in his
enterprises. One might paraphrase Disra-
ellis immortal speech Adventures are to
the adventurous making it read, ENTER
prises to the enterprising,' and apply it to
Rip-Beasley.

RUDELY INTERRUPTED
Domestic Relations Dissolved Through
Eemoval of Trunk

Up to few short hours ago Emma Jones
and Waiter Stoddard, both colored, lived
together in peace and happiness, knowing
all the joys of wedlock without being in
convenienced by it's accompanying letters,
for Emma and Walter were not married.
But as change is the order of life, the feic-
ity of this happy couple was rudely dis
solved when on yesterday Walter laid
strong hands on trunk containing En-
mas wearing apparel and had it removed
to some place unknown to Emma. Wo-
mans love for man is great, but her love
for clothes is sometimes greater, and the
loss of her tea gowns, lingerie and other
garments caused Emma to have her erst-
while hero arrested, and as a consequence
Walter now languishes behind the bars of
the city Jail, and will no doubt try to eluci-
date matters to Judge Feagin this morning.
Being a supporter of the late Mr.. Blaine's
theory of reciprocity, Walter tried to strike
back at Emma by charging her with un-
lawful cohabitation, but this move on his
part was unsuccessful, those in charge at
police headquarters not thinking his ground
tenable,

ASKS THE REASON
WHY HE Is OPPOSED
Cunningham InterrogateS Ger
man-American Union.
SOME POINTED QUESTIONS
Would Like to be Informed as to OPP
position to His Reelection if He
Should Again Become
Candidate

Hon. Robert NJ. Cunningham, the senator
for Jefferson and president of the senate,
has written a letter to the German-Ameri-
can union demanding, in effect, to be in
formed as to the reasons why that organi-
cation will seek to compass his defeat for
recollection to the senate should he again
seek that honor.
1t has been given out that the German
American union would, in fact, try to pre-
vent the senator's reelection, and he an
swers in q letter which asks some pointed
questions, and gives his own record as a
senator.
The senator writes in part:
But as you have initiated a fight against
me I am anxious to know the reasons,
which curiosity l am sure that many of my
fellow citizens, even Communications,
share That I and the people may know
your reasons, | respectfully submit for your
committees consideration this open letter.
1t is not my purpose to stab you in the
dark, to abuse you on your union, for ever
entertain the highest opinion of many of the
COMMUNICATIONS who l have the honor to
know and also of your honorable union
particularly, as it honored me by resolu-
ton of endorsement on some OF my public
acts. allude to my opposition to the abo
lition of police commission, of which COM
mission your president, Mr.. Lesser, was
member but who afterwards failed of cleo
tion before the poole. If [ have done any
thing wrong; If 1 am unworthy of trust,
l want to know what and why it is. II am
wrong have been wrong, I want to
pent like an honest sinner and pray your
forgiveness, which know, out of the great
generosity of your hearts you will grant,
The senator then proceeds at length to
touch upon all points that seem to him pos
sibe for men to oppose him upon because
of his official action in relation thereto.

A Hot Time Promised When the Com

Great Falls, Sept. 22.-This was a
gala day in this town. Shortly after
the Standard bulletin announcing the
arrival of the Zealanda with the Mon

gan to ring, then other bells and the
whistles of the city took up the glad
news and it was continued for more
than an hour, and until every person
in town knew that the boys in blue
who belong to this portion of the earth
had reached American harborage, if
not American soil. On the streets
there was talk of nothing else, and
often times the wish was expressed
that it would be still pleasanter if the
people had only heard the whistles and
the bells as an announcement that the
boys We're pulling into town over the
Sun River bridge, that will come later
of course. and when that day does
arrive it is safe to guarantee that there
will be the greatest rejoicing ever
known in the town. What has been
overlooked in the preparations will be
done then, and the welcome will be
complete In every respect. AS fore
runner of that welcome the following
dispatch was sent this afternoon:
