Southeastern Tarifr association on the ground that it was amendable to the state statue against trusts and combines, was practically brought to an end today by the association announcing it's intention to abandon the stamping office established for the purpose of preventing rate cutting among local agents.
 The situation had assuemed a serious as- pect until the association abandoned it's position, and the state was on the verge of a big insurance muddle. Governor Me- Laurin had announced his intention of proceeding against the Southeastern asso- cation by means of an injunction to pro- hiblt the stamping office, and also to pre- vent the companies and their agents from doing business in the state.
 The supreme court has decided the asso- ciation to be a trust within the meaning of the Mississippi statute. and members of the legislature which meets next January are expecting some lively litigation.

the governor a report on the books of Clerk of the City Court H. H. Mathews. The report shows MT. Mathews to have clean record in office. A few errors are cited because of some alleged miseonstruetlons of saG Ths exapinsE embo9les 9 goodly portion of the code in his report to tell how clerks should conduct their offices. He finds that few fees. amounting to $2S SO have been allowed sheriffs for serv ing subpoenas upon witnesses who from the subpoenaed docket were returned by the sheriff as not found. The examiner finds from a further examination of these cost bills that a custom has existed in this county for many years which is not in compliance with a strict construction of the law and has entailed much hardship upon the state, county and in very many instances upon defendants who are con- victed. He aludes to the custom of charg- ing fees for the issuing of capiases and execution of same upon defendants who are in actual custody in violation of section 5252 of the code of 1896.
 The convict fund has suffered to the ex- tent of about $65O by this error. which seems to have been oceasioned by an order of the court, issued a number of years ago.

JOHN CANTRELL AND
 WIFE ARRESTED
All Grows Out of the Alleged Kidnapping of Ebert smith, Son of an Um-
 brella Mender.

John Cantrell. a young white man, and his pretty 16-year-old wife, Evie Cantrell, were placed in the county jail yesterday on the charge of Kidnapping. in connec,i1n with the disappearance of Ebert Smith, the l2-year-old son of Dan w. Smith, some days ago.
 MT. and Mrs Cantrell were arrested at their home near Pratt City by Deputy Sheriff l.. c. Price, on warrants sworn out before Justice l. H. Benners, of this city, who set the preliminary examination for next Tuesday, the 18th inst.
 Neither Mr Cantrell of his wife appeared greatly disturbed over their arrest, both making light of the affair. stating that the boy, who is cousin of Mrs. Cantrell came to them of his own free will and accord.
 Several of their friends interested them- selves in the case, and later in the day they were released on bond, which was fixed at $2O0.
 The entire matter appears to be the re- suit of bad feeling in the Smith family.

WILL REMAIN SILENT.
Schwazkoppen Will Not Be Allowed
 to Testify or Be Examined.

Berlin, September 7.-The semi-official Presse expressed considerable surprise at the announcement of the declaration of M. Labori that he had been officially informed that Colonel Schwarzkoppen would be al- lowed to depose.
 The Cologne Gazette says: Germany will neither permit Colonel Schwarzkoppen to go to Rennes, nor will she allow him to be subjected to any examination. Count von Buelow's declarations respecting the innocence of Dreyfus were made after careful examination and consultation with the emperor. These declarations did not meet in France with the recognition they deserved, as there is no guarantee that Colonel Schwarzkoppen as a witness would meet any better reception. The opinion in official circles is that Germany cannot again expose herself to the possibility that her official declarations would remain dis regarded or be treated as false"

Some NcwsY Notes.


 President M. R. Clements of the Associa- tion of Experiment Stations has called a meeting of the state associations to assem- ble in the senate chamber of the capitol on September 13, 1899.
 Fire destroyed the beautiful Tyson home on Washington street early this morning. The loss was about $6 1000, with $4,5O0 nsur- ance
 The fire department was called to West End last night by the burning of a small cottage. In the run out the nose wagon was plunged into an excavation, severely bruising two of the firemen and the horses. The wagon was badly smashed up.
 Treasury receipts for September are mak- ing a good showing for the convict board. The sale of cloth from the Speigner mill during the past week amounted to $3926, and the hire of conviets for August will net about sS, 900.
 The treasury is receiving money from the county superintendents for fees collected in the examination of teachers for the pub lie schools. The superintendent estimates that there will be about 6000 persons trying for certificates. This would make the re- eeipts for fees amount to about $7,500. It will require quite all of this amount to pay the expense of holding the examlna- tionS.

~THE PLAYS

Hermann, the magician, pleased two fair sized audiences at O'Brien's yesterday af- ternoon and last night. Many of the tricks of ledgerdemain are new and have not been seen in Birmingham before. Probably the most interesting of his mysterious feats is his act of palmng, This is known to be simply an accomplishment of de- ceving the eye and is very clevery done. Between the two acts of the magician the Lucers do most creditable musical turn. They introduced several new and very pleasing features Hermanns act closes with ''The Golden Butterfly" In this won- derful act the magician makes a beauti- full girl spring from a box, which but a moment before was shown to the audience empty The box is not placed against a curtain or anything of the sort, but re- mains all the time in view of the audi ence.

The growth of tho national wealth
during the present decade, it is ex-
pectcd, will break the record. 1t is
estimated by careful sLatistians that
if tho, rate of increase of produc-
tlon during tho past two years is
maintained the total accumulated
wealth in 1900 will not be far from
0,0O0,000,000, or more than dou-
bic the wealth of Great Britain. In
1860 the wealth of the United States
was estimatedat $20,000,OO0,0O0. A
more than five fold increase in forty
years is a record of wealth pro-
ducing unmatched in ancient or mod
