NEW ENGLANDERS.
They Will Be Entertained By the Com
 mercial Club Today

The New England newspaper men. who arrived in the city Wednesday evening on their tour through the south were yester- day prevented from seeing much of the city on account of the steady downpour of rain, which kept up the entire day
 During the day, however, many promI- nent citizens called on the party aboard the private car, which is stationed at the union depot, and were most courteously received by the New Englanders. They expressed much surprise at the activity an progress which were noticeable in the lim tied observations which had been made
 1he members of the party will be the guests or the Commercial club this after noon at the club rooms in Twenty-first street, when Birmingham and the won derful industrial development of the dis. triet' will be discussed as well as other subjects of interest.
 Among the visitors who were entertained a. luncheon aboard the car yesterday was Colonel Julian S. Carr, of Durham, North Carolina. Colonel Carr is one of the most progressive citizens of the south, and in- sisted that the party stop in North Caro- lima on it's return trip and finish the work, begun in that state about three weeks ago Sc thoroughly is Colonel Carr impressed with the facilities offered by the New Eng land Newspaper league that he arranged on his own responsibility for full page in the Southern edition of the league papers, to be devoted exclusively to the resources of North Carolina, specifically providing for adequate representation for his homo town. Colonel Carr will accompany tn } party through the state on its return. Inc party will remain in the city until Satul day afternoon at o'clock, when its car will be attached to the Louisville all Nashville train for Pensacola. Sunday morning will be spent in that city From Pensacola the party will proceed to Mobile, then to Meridian, West Point and other Mississippi towns.
 It Is probable that other arrangements will be made this morning to take t,Ia party over the Birmingham Mineral rail- road, making short stops at the principal points of interest.

mayor. All the candidates for the vacant places who were openly announced for him were defeated. There were seven of the nine hold-over aldermen against him.
 It Is not believed in view of the situa- ton that MT. Drennen can land any of his supporters in the city offices. He ad- mits himself that fifteen out of the eigh- teen aldermen were against him.
 Evans May Be City Auditor
 It has been whispered about that Mayor Frank V. Evans, who goes out of. office in May, will be candidate for city auditor It is well known that he has an exceeding ly strong following in the board, and it is predicted by many of his friends that he can get the office if he desires it.
 City Attorney Robert J. Lowe will likely be a candidate to succeed himself. It was said before the election that T. S. Bethea, one of Mir. Drennen's strong supporters would be candidate, but now that the complexion of the new board is apparent no moro has been said of his candidacy, B. M. Allen, MT. Drennen's campaign man. ager, has been mentioned in this connec- tion.
 The new board will also have to elect wardens for the city prison.
 Committee Settles Fifth Ward
 The city democratic executive committee met yesterday and accepted the report of the subcommittee appointed to count the Fifth ward ballots.
 The committee reported that 7SS votes were found in the box, and 736 were count ed. The other two ballots were thrown out, one being unofficial and the other was cast by gentleman who had not registered
 A motion to accept the report of the com mittee brought l.. J. Haley to his feet He represented James E. Scott, the candidate for police commissioner. He recalled the fact that 34 more votes were found in the box than were cast, according to the poll list If the fraudulent votes were thrown out MT. Scott would be elected by two or three votes Of twelve of the fraudulent ballots found and examined Il were for Parker and 1 for Scott. He thought the race should be run over again.
 MT. Jones said that If another election was ordered in the Fifth ward, such course should be followed in every other ward.

SAM JONES' LECTURE
Postponed On Account of Bad Weather
 Will Return Early in May.

The lecture which was to have been de- livered by Rev. Sam Jones at the Audi torium last night for the benefit of the Southside Baptist church was postponed on account of the inclemency of the weather. "A large number of tickets had been sold, and 1t was only after securing assurance that the celebrated lecturer would return early in May that the ladies of the church who were in charge of the lecture agreed to the postponement. Notwithstanding the fact that the night was a very disagreeable one, many holders of tickets ventured out and were greatly disappointed when n- formed that the lecture had been post poned.
 Had the weather been favorable MT. Jones would doubtless have been greeted by a large audience. Holders of tickets will have their money refunded by applying to the person from whom they purchased the tickets.

MORE PROMOTIONS.

This week the Baltimore & Ohio COM
pany will promote a number OF fire.
men to engineers. For some time past
freight on the fourth division has been
so heavy that every available locomo-
tive has been in service. The result
was the regular men have been making
really more time than they cared to.
The weather is hard on an engineer
and they much prefer to be idle a por-
ton of the time. The company in pro-
noting the men make them stand a
very rigid examination, but in nearly
every case they are successful. The
full list of the men to be advanced are
not all known, but five of them are on
the helpers stationed at Cameron. The
full list will be about twelve, which
leaves seven to be taken from the main
line. Those interested are confident
they will pass and are very much elated
over the action about to be taken by
the company.

nary disorders arising from a disordered
condition of the kidneys. Another citizen
adds her testimony as follows:
Mrs. b. Gartner, residing at $50 Sixteenth

q DESERVED COMPLIMENT.


One Of the best known and more
accommodating brakemen or the Bal
timore & Ohio is James G. Liller. At
present he is on passenger trains Nos.
II and 70, his run being between Cum
berland and Wheeling. Mr.. Liller has
been in the employ of the road since
1890 and is one of the most careful
men in the Service Of the company.
For a long time he was on the third
division, but recently was promoted to
a passenger brakeman IN this end Of
the line. He was also promoted at one
time to a conductorship, but owing to
freight being slack went back to brak-
ing again. During the time he has
been with the company he has never
been the cause of any mishap what
ever to the road, which is a record that
he may well feel proud of. Since his
transfer to this end of the line he has
made many new friends among the
travelling public, and is in receipt OF
much praise for the gentlemanly way
in which he handles the passengers on
his train.

For a Robbery Occurring Over Fifteen
Years Ago..
Special to the Register.
RONCEVERTE, w. Va, July b.
Over fifteen years ago Joshua Day, a
wealthy land owner residing near
Franklin, this State, was robbed of ST.
500 which he had in his pocket while
he was asleep in a room at his home.
The robbery created much excitement,
and one of Days sons stated at the
time that he saw a man leaving the
house at an early hour wearing a bear
skin coat. Day, who is still living, has
never given up his search for the thief,
and the grand jury in session at Frank
lin has just returned an indictment
against Rev. Henry Cunningham, a
local minister of high standing in the
community, charging him with having
committed the robbery. Rev. Cunning
ham was arrested Don after the find
ing of the jury and placed in jail, but
has since given bond in the sum of
$4,000, and says he will be able to prove
his innocence of the crime of which he
stands charged.

They Are One of the Big Hite OF the Coun
try's Biggest Circus.
"One Of the most remarkable exhibit
tons of animal training ever given"
says the New York Press, is the large
troupe of seals and sea lions that is
being exhibited by the Alaskan explor-
er, Capt. Woodward, this year. 1t is
said that it is simply inconceivable
how these animals who live in the sea
can be taught to do the things they
do. 1t is not a popular idea that crea-
lures of the deep, particularly those OF
the Arctic regions, are possessed of any
great amount of intelligence. No Es-
quimo or any other human being living
in the Arctics has ever been accused of
having more than the ordinary intel
ligence Of the dog or horse. They are
entirely without literature of any des-
cription, live in huts and novels, and
next to the savages of the ungles OF
Africa, they are perhaps as low down
in the scale of human intelligence as
a Digger Indian. II is supposed that
the animals would be of a correspond
ing degree of inferiority. but it seems
that this is not true, a. Prof. Wood
wards seals and sea lions show all the
elements of genuine comedy. Any one
who has ever watched one of these
strange creatures disporting in a tank
or in the sea is forced 90 believe that
he is really full of fun, and that his
antics are enjoyed by himself Just as
much as by his spectators. These seals

Demurrers to the indictments under the
civil rights bill, growing out of the
recent demonstrations against the two
negro walters at st. Marys, were ar
gued in the United States Court last
evening before Judge Jackson. but the
case was not completed, as Judge jack
son became suddenly i'll and it was nee
essary to adjourn court before District
Attorney j. H. Gaines could reply to
the arguments made by the attorney
representing the defendants, who ar
gued that the section of the Federal
statutes under which the indictments
were found, vas enacted to punish
crimes committed against the election
franchise under the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution. and not to
punish citizens OF the State for such
trivial offenSe as assault and battery.

mated Citixenship.
Capt. Coghlan. formerly Of the Raj
eigh, who is now on his way to Puget
Sound to enter upon new duties, has
brought himself into prominence again.
The occasion was in Terra Haute,
Ind, where he was asked about the
celebrated recitation, "Hoch der kais-
err" That affair."" the captain an
swered, is a closed incident" Drop
ping thus summarily this controversy
with the kaiser, the captain spoke with
feeling against what he called hyphen-
ated Americans. He said:
If a man is all American citizen. he
is an American citizen pure and SIM
pie. | have no patience with hyphen-
ated citizenship. There is nothing that
Europe would rather see to-day than
the existence Of factional lines in our
citizenship. If these foreign colonists
get a foothold in the United States, our
power will be on the wane.'
Capt. Coghlan spoke truer words
than these. While every class from
which our citizenship is made up is to
be commended for pride Of ancestry
and love of traditions of their fathers,
this should not lead to the extent OF
overshawodirg that American citizen
ship which for the first time has
brought them within the pale of civ
ilized human beings. Ancestry may
count for much in France, Germany or
England; but after all it is an ancestry
of subjects, while the citizen of the
United States stands the equal of the
man who by accident of politics occu-
pies the White House.
Capt. Coghlan's denunciation of by
phenated citizenship ONE at a good
time when an attempt is made to prove
that every citizen who is not an Irish
American, a German-American, or a
French-American, but of necessity be
an Anglo-Saxon-American. We want
none of these titles. We feel proud OF
the citizenship which we have gained
from all of these countries; but the
American name is not to be overshad-
owed or explained away by titles which
would give the credit for every achieve
ment we have made to some European
country.
Come back again, Capt. Coghlan, and
let the people hear from you.-Atlanta
