ATHENS
Captain Logwood, Well Known and
 Prominent Citizen, Dead

Athens, August 7.-(Special. .)-Captain John B. Logwood, one of the prominent citizens of this place, man who had as wide acquaintance throughout the state and the adjoining states as any man in this section, having for years been suc- cessful travelling man and later a deputy internal revenue collector, died at his home in this place yesterday and was buried to- day from the Methodist church in this place, his funeral being preached by his pastor, Rev. Morris, of the Methodist church.
 Captain Logwood has long been a citizen of this place. He married here and has reared his family, but of late years it seems that death had marked his home, having lost two charming daughters just as they were entering into the full glory of a beautiful young womanhood, and later two sons have passed away. He returned to his home from the road few weeks since suffering from @ carbuncle, and this caused his death.
 The most delightful social event that has been enjoyed in Athens in a long while was reception rendered to Lieutenant Albert Goodwin this evening by his friend, Miss Bessie Davis, at her home East Hill," in this place.

SELMA
Merchant Game Near Dying from Dose
 of Laudanum

Selma, August 7.-tSpecial.)-Kirk Philen, a well known and popular young man, came near meeting his death this morning by taking an over dose of laudanum. The report was current that the deadly drug was taken with suicidal intent, but though he has had a number of business misfor- tunes lately, his store having been once burned and once robbed, he was in a very cheerful humor this morning, and no req son can be assigned for such rash act.
 Louis Hasselvander happened to walk in the store just after young Philen had taken the drug and caught him just as he was abotu to sink to the floor. Physicians Were quickly summoned and the stomach pump effectively used.
 MT. Hasselvander states that a day or two ago young Philen and himself took some paregoric for cramps that both were suffering from, and it is more than prob able that this morning MT. sPhilen thought he was taking some of the same drug.
 He was carried home in hack from his store in Washington street where he had taken the drug, and his young wife came in just as they were carrying him limp and seemingly hfeless into the house. She tainted at the sight, but was soon brought around

Many Special Editions

Paris, August 7.-All the newspapers to- day published frequent special editions which were eagerly bought by the waiting crowds anxious for details of the Dreyfus courtmartial. Some of the streets were actually dangerous, notably the Rue Mont Marte, whose newsboys were rushing in all directions hustling and almost overturning any one in their way.
 While the papers today scarcely had time to comment on the courtmartial, they all endeavored to draw conclusions from the different descriptions of the personal ap- pearance of the prisoner at the trial. The nationalist papers declared Dreyfus ap- peared embarrassed, while the Journal Des De Bats said:
 "Neither his face or his works evoke sympathy His voice sounds false and his protestations of innocence are not convinc- ing.''
 The Temps on the other hand said:
 He replied in tone of assurance and with a clearness and conciseness which car ried convicton.'
 The Figaro correspondent at Rennes said: "Dreyfus leaves nothing remaining of the accusation. His whole attitude proclaimed his innocense."

 The meeting was called to order by Pres- ident Allen J. Krebs, who made a practical talk on the benefits of the organization The committee on membership reported the enrolment of fourteen new members, which was ratified by the meeting.
 The principal business was the election of a board of directors and after some dis cusson it was decided to make the board thoroughly representative by giving the different branches of the trade representa- ton.
 The following members were placed in nomination and were unanimously elected: Henry Uhl, painting; William Kerr, lum- Der; c. Frickenhoffer, lumber; J. F. Bald win. builders supplies; J. R.

 The election of two vice-presidents was deferred until the next meeting.
 The organization will at once establish headquarters in some central location, which will be in charge of an assistant secretary. Daily meetings at fixed hour will be held and the rooms will be open during regular business hours to all mem- bers. general information bureau will also be maintained at the headquarters, which will probably be opened during the week.

AFTER STEAM ROLLER
Local Officials Going to Decatur to In
 spect One

Mayor Drennen, Street Commissioner McCartin, City Engineer Kendrick and as many members of both the street and finance committee as can get away will leave Birmingham today at 12 o'clock for Decatur.
 The secret of this invasion of North Ala bama by Magic City officials is the pur- chase of steam roller for use in Street Commissioner McCartin's department. De- catur purchased a roller during the boom days and now wishes to dispose of it. The question has been agitated here for some weeks, and the mayor of Decatur invited the Birmingham officials to come up and inspect it.
