POOR LITTLE BEN
CRUSHED TO DEATH
Whilst Playing With a Compan-
ion Along a Railway Track
lin 18th Street.

Benjamin Patterson, a small negro boy,
was run over by an empty freight car In
Fourteenth street, near the gas works,
shortly after noon yesterday and instantly
killed The boys skull was crushed and
his brains scattered along the track for
several yards.
The unfortunate lad and Robert AIRING
ton, another negro boy, were playing along
the track of the Southern Railway. Sew
eral cars were standing in the yards of the
Birmingham gas works at the head of a
steep grade.
1t appears that the boy conceived the
idea of taking ride down the incline, and
released the brakes, which had been tight
~ set The cars Immediately shot down
the grade, and the boy, losing his footing.
fell across the track and was killed.
Coroner Paris was informed of the acct
dent and immediately took charge of the
case. He empaneled jury, and after
hearing the evidence of several witnesses
adjourned the investigation until $50
O'Clock this morning. From the testimony
so far adduced it seems that the boy was
victim of his own folly.

TRYING TO AGREE
As To THE WAGES
Of Employees of the Republic
Iron and Steel Company's
Thirty Rolling Mills.

A conference will be held in Detroit.
Mich today between officials of the Re-
public Iron and Steel Company and repre-
sentatives of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. 1t is
stated that this conference is for the pur-
pose of ascertaining if the operators and
the operatives cannot come together on a
wage scale, and the starting up of the
numerous rolling mills in this district and
elsewhere.
The Republic Iron and Steel Company
own nearly thirty rolling mills in Alabama,
Ohio and Indiana, all of which have been
idle since July l. On the Both of June the
wage contract between the company and
the Amalgamated Association expired, and
as is the custom with the association, the
men declined to work until a new contract
could be made The demands for increased
wages made by the association were re-
fused by the company, and it is not be-
heved they will be agreed to, though moth
ing officially on that point can be ascer-
tanned here.
p. H. MCGOWAN, vice president of the
Amalgamated Association, will represent
the local lodge at the conference in De-
troit. A telegram from Chicago a few
days ago stated that the members of the
association in the North employed by the
Republic company had given the delegates
to the conference power to settle the wage
custom on the best terms possible.

Railroad President.

For five minutes yesterday every wheel,
every piece of machinery on the Kansas
City, Memphis & Birmingham and Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Memphis road, from
Birmingham to Kansas City, was idle. This
action was taken as a mark of respect to
the late Edward 8. Washburn, president of
the system, whose funeral was then taking
place at Rye Beach, N. III.
The funeral services were heid IN St. An
drew's chapel, Rye Beach, N f., III 12:15
d. M eastern time, and from Ills to II 20
a. m. central time the Kansas City aystem
was idle. The employees in the Birmingham
offices and shops laid aside their business
for the time and thus paid silent tribute
to their former president. After waiting five
minues traffic was resumed.
While en- route east to attend a meeting
of the directors of his company early in
the summer, President Washburn WAC
stricken with appoplexy, and was unable to
again resume his duties, dying from the ef-
fects of the stroke last Friday.

Delivered Speeches in Montgomery Sat
urday Night

Hon. John W. Tomlinson and State DEM
ocratic Committee Chairman Robert j.
Lowe were the principal speakers at a large
meeting held in Montgomery Saturday
night for the purpose of organizing a Bryan
and Stevenson Club. The Montgomery Adj

received. After thanking the Montgomery
Democrats for the invitation to address
them, Mr.. Tomlinson said that there had
been some difference among Democrats be-
fore the party acted in Kansas City, but
now there was complete unity. He con-
trasted the situation today with that of
four years ago, when Democrats were fight
ing Democrats, and discord ruled"
Mr. Lowe was then introduced to the
audience by Chairman Macdonald as 'the
gallant young leader of the Democracy of
Alabama" He was given a hearty recep-
ton and delivered an excellent address.
Senator Pettus and Mr.. Tomlinson will de-
liver Bryan and Stevenson speeches at Al

THE ALABAMIANS
AND The ALABAMA
Gov Johnston and Staff Going
to New Hampshire
ON A MOST NOBLE MISSION
People ofNew Hampshire VIII Present
Gilt to the Ship Which Should
Arouse the Pride of Every
Respectable Albanian

Governor Joseph II. Johnston, accom-
and the members of his official staff, will
be present at the presentation of splendid
gifts to the battleships Alabama and kear-
sarge in Portsmouth harbor on September
Is.
The party from Alabama goes in response
to an invitation from the State of New
Hampshire. A daughter of the late Admiral
Semmes is among those who are invited.
The Governor of New Hampshire will
place on the Kearsarge a bronze tablet ten
feet long and four feet wide. On this will
be inscribed sentiment commemorative of
the historic combat at sea between the old
Kearsarge and the old Alabama, and he
will present to Governor Johnston an iden-
teal tablet for the Alabama when she shall
be ready for sea in October.
Governor Johnston will deliver a speech
during the exercises, as will the Governor
of New Hampshire and several other men
who are nationally prominent, including
former Secretary of the Navy Hilary A.
Herbert, who named the Alabama.
On September 10 the chief executive of
Alabama and his staff will be rendered a
reception. On the day following the Ala
banians will be escorted to the White
Mountains, where they will be the recipi-
ents of more honors.
The party from Alabama will leave Blrm-
ingham September Is.
These services, unique In American
history, serve to emphasize the pressing
duty upon Alabamians to provide a suitable
Alabama present for the Alabama. The peo-
pie of New Hampshire are presenting gift
to the Alabama because of the famous an
tagonist of the famous old Kearsarge,
which was commanded by a New Hamp
shire man, and because Secretary Hilary
A. Herbert an Alabaman, named the new
Kearsarge after the old ship before naming
the new Alabama for that vessel made fam
GUS by the Albanian, Raphael Semmes.
The battleship Alabama fund is open at
the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, Birmingham.

HOTEL HILLMAN
To Be SPLENDID
Everywhere Marble and Onyx
With Rich Carvings and Hand
some Mural Decorations.

Some interesting facts concerning the
proposed magnificent Hotel Hillman, Biz
mingham, work upon which has been be-
gun at Fourth avenue and Nineteenth
street, are thus related by the New Or
leans Picayune of Sunday:
&C. II. Nabb and T. H. Motion, two
prominent gentlemen of Birmingham, Ala,
came to the city yesterday. Mr.. Nabb was
kept busy whenever he appeared in the
office shaking hands with travellers who
recognized him as the genial boniface Of
the Morris House, Birmingham.
1.-THE Morris House changes hands on
October /. when Mr.. Nabb goes out and
Mr.. Seally, formerly steward of the Cos
mopolitan, takes charge. There has been
considerable speculation in hotel circles as
to the why's and wherefores of Mr.. Nabb's
move, and he has kept them guessing, but
it all came out yesterday. Mr.. Nabb is 60
ing to take charge of a new hotel to be
erected at Birmingham, which will be a
very magnificent affair A stock company
has been organized, of which Mr.. Moulton
is president and the plans are now COM
plete for the building. These two gentle
men came here to inspect and approve the
plans, which were prepored by the same
architect who built the New St. Charles.
MIR. Nabb expressed himself as highly
pleased with the plans submitted. The
building will be on a somewhat similar
plan to the New st. Chrales. 1t will be
of stone and brick, with a severely simple
facade, following the latest ideas of out
line and style. 1t will be six stories high,
and so built that two additional stories
may be added without in any way inter-
fering with the plan marring the archi-
tectural effect Inside will be a great con-
trast to the simplicity of the outside.
Everywhere will be marble and onyx with
rich carvings, and handsome, artistic mural
decorations. The office will be on the
ground floor, and above the lobby will be
a court and loggia, somewhat similar to
that of the st. Crales. Two wings each 50
feet long, will extend back from the main
building The restaurant for European
plan will be conducted on the most ap-
proved methods. The American plan din
ing room will be on the second floor. The
hotel will accommodate $50 guests. Thu
New Orleans architects who prepared the
plans, Messrs. Sully and Stone Bros, say
that this will be one of the best appointed
moderan hotels in the country. The pro-
prietor says that there shall not be a gas
pipe of a mosquito net in the building, and
it will be freproof in other respects also.
Work will be commenced at once, and
the new hotel will be opened for ocupa-
ton about July ], 1901"

A WIDOWS SORROW
And Her Thoughts of Gratitude to the
Elks

In the name or my precious beloved dear,
I'll try, though inadequately, to express
my thanks to the honored Order of Elks.
Well they deserve their motto, B. P. o.,
for to my heart they were the best people
to me on earth. God only knows what
their sweet attention and aid was to me
in my darkest hour, and only through their
kindness and help I've lived to bear my
bitter grief. 1 know God is good. Even
though he has taken my precious husband,
He'll bless each and all of his beloved
brothers.
And to the Birmingham photographers
I thank them for their lovely floral Offering
He loved you all and wished you well.
Again, dear Elks. let me thank you, and
the only boon 1 ask is that part of the dear
love you gave your departed brother you
will share with me, his broken-hearted lit
tie wife MRS. ELLIE P. REDINGTON.
