NOW FOR A DECISION.
Supreme Court Has the Insurance
Case Under Amusement.

Argument was presented pro ana
con in the supreme court OF Arkan-
sas yesterday in the insurance suits
instituted by the attorney-generaI
under the antitrust law. Attor-
ney General Davis made the argr :
ment for the state and was fOlIowe d
by Judge Rose and Judge CockriII
for the insurance companies. The
case went up on appeal from Cir
cult Judge j. w. Martins decision
sustaining the general demurrer in
terposed by the insurance compan-
les. The supreme court yesterday
indicated no certain time at which
it would haud down an opinion in
the case, but the understanding is
that an early determination is pro-
bable. The matter was submitted
to the court yesterday after argu-
ment had been concluded.-Arkan-

Texas antitrust law is very dras-
tic, and we hope to see it accomplish
great good. 1t goes into effect next
January-a wise provision. 1t pro-
vides that no corporation or combi-
nation can fix a price on its goods
or compel merchants to sell at such
a price. All pooling is strictly for
bidden, nor can any corporation
give away its goods with view to
destroy competition. All such cor
porations shall be adjudged trusts,
and shall be debarred from doing
business in the state.

gasoline stoves, Why? Because
the new gasoline stoves work per-
fectly, keep the kithen cool and
pleasant, and do away with the
bother of having wood and kiudling

on account of the cheapness OF
gasoline, as compared with other
fuel for cooking purposes.
by actual test it has been found
that four gallons of gasoline will go

WORK ON ENSLEY
 WIRE AND ROD MILL Machine Shops Completed Ex-
 cept for the Stating. WIRE MILL GOING UP FAST Progress on Rest of Plant-Difficult Task of Putting Up the Electric
 Crane of the Open Hearth
 Steel Building

Work on the various buildings of the ley is progressing most satisfactorily, and the officials of the company are trying to rush the work and get their plant in work ing order just as soon as possible. The building for the machine shops has been completed, and all of the machinery which was brought down several weeks ago, is already in position. The boilers and the engines have also been set and all that is now missing is the shafting, which was shipped from the north week or two ago. When that is put in position the machine shops will begin operations. A great deal of the machinery for the other mills of the plant will be constructed in the machine shops.
 The contract for the largest engines of the big rod mill has been let to the Ed ward P. Allis company, of Milwaukee. Bids have been asked for two more en- zines and later on there will be more bidding for fifth and sixth engine; all for the rod mill
 O. A. Smith & Co.,, of Atlanta, have the contract for putting on the gravel roofing, with which nearly all of the buildings are to be covered. This firm gets greal deal of it's tar from the Semet-Solvay people at Ensley, and later on will erect a plant there for the manufacturing of paper roofing. The remainder of the roofs will be of corrugated iron, furnished by the Cincinnati Corrugating company, of Piqua, O.
 The foundations for the wire mill, which will be second in size only to the rod mill, have been completed, and the walls are now being erected.
 The excavations for the galvanizng house have already been dug and the workmen are now excavating for the foundations of the field fence and barbed fence mill.
 The force of men which have been work ing putting up the big open-hearth furnace building of the Alabama Steel and Ship building company practically stopped work on the building last week and this, and all hands are engaged in getting the big electric crane in position in the top of the building. This crane Is a tremend- ous affair, and it is no easy matter to raise it to such height in the air. As soon as 1t is in position, however, and Is put in operation, the work of handling the heavy beams which are to support the roof will be greatly facilitated

 and the visitors were entertained by the Woodlawn union. Refreshments were served in the church and everything possi- ble was done to make the interval pleasant for all who remained.
 At the evening session Miss Bessie Brown, of Birmingham, read an interesting paper entitled "New Year Greetings"

While he had not prepared himself, his talk was an able and interesting one He urged the young people to believe something and then to hold to that belief. Learn the doctrines and principles of your own church and if you believe they are right defend them," he said; if not find the church in whose doctrines you can believe and be loyal to it.'
 This concluded the programme and the Union adjourned to meet again at the call of the executive committete.

OPENING OF THE
 KINDERGARTEN Work lnaugurated Under Most Auspicious Circumstances. OFFICERS ARE DELIGHTED Twenty-Six Little Tots Were Enrolled Miss Woodruff Did Not Arrive
 in Time, But Will be Pres
 ent This Morning.
OFFICERS ARE DELIGHTED

The opening of the Birmingham Kinder garten under the auspices of the Birming- ham Kindergarten association, took place yesterday under most suspicious circum- stances.
 The room in the Paul Hayne school build ing, the free use of which has been granted by the board of education was the scene of much enthusiasm. Twenty-six little tots, ranging in age between the years of 4 and were on hand promptly at 9:3O o'clock, with their proud mammas, who were as much interested as the children.
 Miss Edith Woodruff of Louisville, who was elected teacher of the Kindergarten, failed to arrive in time and Miss Celia Smith, an experienced teacher, assisted by Mrs. J. H. Phillips, wife of Dr. John H. Phillips, superintendent of the Birming- ham public schools, took up the work of organization and soon had the bright little pupils enrolled
 The preliminary exercises were gone through with, which are more in the nature of play than work were entered into with much enthusiasm by the little ones, who found delight in the novelty of the marches, drills, songs and practical illustrations. Miss Woodruff wired that she would be present this morning when she will at once take charge of the class and will also or ganize the normal department for the in- struction of young ladies in kindergarten work. This department promises to be as successful as the kindergarten class, as sev- eral applications have already been re- ceived. It is thought that large class will be organized, the members of which will he given practical instructions in the class room which will prove very beneficial. Former Mayor J. A. YanHoose, Miss Belle Dangaix and other leading spirits in the as- sociation were present at the opening and were greatly delighted with the inaugural ing exercises.

NEW YEAR MURDER.
Tom White Killed Jim Johnson at New
 castle

Newcastle was the scene of New Year murder, the victim being Jim Johnson, col- ored and his slayer, Tom White, another negro. As the story goes, the two negroes quiet little game of craps, during the pro- gress of which White and Johnson became involved in a row. Hot words ensued and White left the room, returning in a few minutes as a locker on. Johnson was on his knees trying to make pass" when White suddenly drew a revolver and shot John- son in the back, killing him almost in- stantly. He made his escape from the room but was captured a short time after and held until yesterday morning when he was given a preliminary trial before Justice Jerry Fountain, who held him to await the action of the grand jury without bail. He was taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff James Ball, who brought him to the city and placed him in the county jail.
 Johnson, the negro who was killed, had only been out of jail short while, where he spent two years awaiting trial on the charge of murder. In the early part of 1898 he killed Pink Scarborough, negro at New castle under extenuating circumstances, and some months ago was released from jail on his own recognition, and at the last term of the criminal court his case was nolle pressed.

It is by no means melo-dramatic, although the scenes and plot are familiar ones for melo-dramatic material. It is the story of young and handsome woman res- cued from the companionship of a vaga- bond in Queensland. In England she mar ries for true love, concealing her past. The vagabond turns up, the ealous housekeeper at her husband home reveals her past and she is cast off, but finally forgiven The play is full of opportunities for good acting. which are taken full advantage of by competent company supporting Miss .vat> wright.
