AN INTERESTING
 MEETING PROMISED
Several Important Matters to Come Before Commercial Club.
REGULAR MONTHLY SESSION
Cullom Bill. Fire Protection, Spanish Gun, Telephone and Other Lively Questions to be Reported On
 Election ot Officers

The regular monthly meeting of the Commercial club will be held this after noon at o'clock. Several important ques- tions will come up for consideration at this meeting.
 One of the most important questions will be the report of the special committee to which the Cullom interstate commerce bill was referred sometime ago. The Commer- cial club was asked to endorse this bil which seeks to amend certain portions of the interstate commerce laws. The bill was referred to the special committee of which H. c. Orem Is chairman. At meeting of the board of directors of the club, held a month ago. on the recommendation of the committee, the bill was endorsed, but later vote to reconsider was adopted, and the matter referred back to the committee, with instructions to make a written re- port. Subsequently a meeting was held to take action on the report but the commit tee asked for further time, which was granted.
 Ere Protection
 Another mater to come up at the meet ing this afternoon is the report of the special committee, of which Judge J. J. Banks is chairman, which was charged with an investigation of the Metropolitan hotel fire, and the water supply and fire protection of Birmingham. Judge Banks stated yesterday that he had the report ready, and would submit it this afternoon. What recommendations the committee will make Judge Banks did not state
 Sterling A. Wood will report for the committee appointed in January to secure one of the captured Spanish guns for Bir- minghafn. This committee will be able to report that a gun has been secured and that it is now in the city and ready to be mounted at such place as the club may designate.
 New Officers
 The committee appointed at the last meeting to nominate officers for the club for the ensuing year will submit its re- port. The ticket which will be reported was printed in The Age-Herald yesterday. A committee from the State Federation of Womens clubs will go before the club in the interest of the Industrial and Re- form school to be located at East Lake. The Federation is taking great interest in this institution, and will ask the Com mercial club to give what assistance it can towards making the school success. A committee was appointed at the last meeting of the club to confer with the Southern Bell Telephone company with reference to telephone rates in Birlning- ham. This committee may be ready to report this afternoon

NEPHENS AND NECES WIN.
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
a OVER swINToN PROPERTY.
Decides Late w. James Smith Tried to
Fraudulently Retain the Property
Entrusted to Him.

The Swinton property mauka on Bere-
taria street Waikiki of the Queens
Hospital goes to the nephews and
nieces of the deceased. They are the
heirs whom Mrs. Swinton desired should
have possession of the property but 1t
was not without a long, hard legal bat
tie that they obtained final decree. This
hnal disposition of the property was or
dered by the Supreme Court Yesterday
on an appeal brought by the defend
ants from decision of the circuit court
awarding the property to the plaintiffs.
Martha G. Swinton died in August of
1891. Shortly before her death she
sumonned w. James Smith and made
known to him her desire to dispose of
her property. She expressed the desire
that il should go to her five nephews
and nieces. She further expressed APP
prehension whether will which would
stand assaults of her other relatives
could be drawn. The expense of ad-
ministration in the probate court was
another reason for her hestitating about
making the will. She talked the mat
ter over with Smith and the result was
that il was decided to execute a deed
conveying the property to him, with the
understanding that he should reconVey
it to her preferred heirs. In the opinion
of the Supreme Court Smith failed to
do this for in summing up the case the
court says in regard to Martha Swinton
and Smith:
M, being at the time previously i'll
and about to die, and desiring to make
a final disposition of her property
either by will or by deed of trust so
that said property should go to her five
nephews and nieces, requested s., her
most trusted friend and adviser, be-
tween whom and herself confidential re-
lations existed, to assist her in effectu-
ating that desire and intention. S., TAX
ing advantage of her great trust and
confidence in him and fraudulently in
tending to obtain the absolute title to
the property for himself, persuaded her
to execute a deed, which he prepared
and which did not express the trust de-
sired, by leading her u believe that he
would hold the property subject to That
trust and that he would carry her de-
sire and intention concerning the same.
Held, that S. in his lifetime held the
property as a trustee ex usaleficio, and
that since his death his heirs have held
and now hold the same as trustees, for
the use of the five nephews and nieces,
and conveyance ordered accordingly"
The opinion goes into a recital of the
case and the circumstances of the con-
versation between Martha Swinton and
Smith on the occasion of her deciding
to make the deed. In his testimony
Smith, VINO is now dead, said that the
pupose of the deceased was to permit
him to have the land as long as he de-
sired

AN INVENTIVE RECTOR.
English Divine whose Church Bells
Are Now RuAK by Means
of Electricity.

In the parish Of Runwell, in Essex,
England, an apparatus has been late
ly invented by the rector for ringing
the church bells by electricity. The
origin of the invention is rather curl
GUS The rector, finding a difficulty
in obtaining bell-ringers, rung the
bells for three months himself. In
order to save labor involved in per-
forming this task. he invented the
automatic ringer" and erected the
apparatus in the church tower. By
connecting the machine with the cleo
tric current already in use for light
ing the church and rectory, he sue
ceeded in ringing the bells with per-
feet order and precision. The inven-
ton is in all respects an absolute
success and the apparatus can be
worked by oil power instead of by
electricity. This makes the invention
of general interest with regard to bell
ringing. Ahe "automatic ringer for
which a patent has been obtained, can
be supplied to churches and build
ings whenever required. The profits
will be devoted by the rector to the
fund for restoring the ancient church
of Runwell, where the invention had
its birth.

REAL. .POoH-BAHS IN CHINA.
Omcials who Combine ManyPrersgs-
tivss and work hard Accord
Ing to Their Idea.

Some idea of the work of the aver.
age Chinese official will be gathered
from the following statement made
by an eminent Chinese sta ,esman to
an Interpreter, says the london Mail
The interpreter states: II once
asked member of the Chinese cab
met who was complaining of fatigue
and overwork for an account OF his
daily routine. He replied that he
left home every morning at two
o'clock, as he was on duty at the pal-
ace from three to six. AS a member
of the privy council he was engaged
on that body from six until nine.
From nine until II he was at the
war department, of which he was
president, and, being member OF
the board of punishment, he was in
attendance at the Office of that body
daily from twelve until two. AS ono
of the senior ministers of the foreign
office he spent every day from two
till five or six in the afternoon there.
These were his regular daily duties,
and in addition to them he was fire.
.quently appointed to serve on spe-
cial boards or commissions, and these
he sandwiched in between the Others
as he could. He seldom reached homo
before seven in the evening"
1t should be added. however, that
the Chinese idea of hard work is not
uuitp the same AZ the English idea
The Chinese official undoubtedly
spends long hours at his various Off
ces. but this is no safe guide. Per-
haps the busiest department in the
Chinese government is the board Of
punishment, which reviews the sem
tences pronounced by Chinese judges
in all parts of the empire. Naturally.
therefore. the work is rather heavy.
but in other departments eating and
drinking is the chief business Of the
day.

IN A TRUCK FARM.
One Man Near Philadelphia Who Has
Accumulated Half u Million
Dollars.

There are over 800 acres of Philadel-
phia land under cultivation south Of
Porter street. in the district known as
the Neck and there is now living in
Germantown a man who has anna ssed
a fortune of S5G0.G00 in raising early
vegetables in that locality. says the
Philadelphia Record. His two sons are
still engaged in truck farming, al
though they have not the same chances
as their father had during the civil
war. when spinach sold for eight dol
lars a barrel and onions brought SIP a
barrel. The father. with his half mil
lion. has removed to a handsome coun-
try seat near Germantown, where he
lives in opulence.
He was an orphan and at the age Of
21, having been bound to a trucker. he
went with another man to work 4
farm on shares. In two years he was
able to take a farm of his own and sue
cess crowned his efforts. In those days
the farmer took his own produce to
market and sold it direct to the con
sumer without the aid of the commits
sion merchant. Then. too. there was
no competition from the south in the
matter of early vegetables. The labor
of boys could be had for two or hree
dollars a week But all this is now
changed. On Porter street between
Thirteenth and Sixteenth there are two
large public schooihouses. and the boys
who used to work on the farms now
attend school. The farmers are con-
sequently obliged to employ men at
this season of the year and pay them
nine dollars a week.
