BANANA GROWERS
Want ReIief-Former Birmingham Man
 ereeted-Conference Held.

New York, November 26.-The Journal of Commerce says:
 "A conference has been held between the committee representing independent ba- mana growers of Nicaragua, and J. LaMott Morgan and others, to discuss plans for re- lief from the alleged unjust treatment by the United States Trust Company. The company consists of S. w. Seton and Frank Turner of Rama, Bluehelds River Nicaragua.
 MT. Morgan, formerly or Birmingham, Ala, but now of this city, was identified with the sale to the company of Nicaraguan interests at the time 1t was formed. He Is at present interested in a movement which may result in direct steamship line from Nicaragua independent of the com pany The attendance at the meeting was small and western jobbers who were ex- pected were not present. No definite and final action was taken at the meeting
 "It Is rumored that the Arbuckles have established some sort of connection with the United States Fruit Company at New Orleans affecting their sugar interests and that the American Sugar Refining Company may become intereste in the new inde- pendent steamship enterprise with the ob- feet of competing with the Arbuckles and thus becoming a formidable rival to the United States Fruit Company"

FIREMEN CAME TOO LATE.
Excited Person Gave wrong Street
 Causing, Much Annoyance.

Loungers in front of the Florence Hotel were startled about o'clock last night by the hose reel and engine of the Northside department dashing up to the front en- trance and coming to a halt. No one had heard of a fire and there was considerable excitement when the firemen rushed into the hotel and inquired of the proprietor as to the locality of the blaze. MT. Clifford said he had heard of no fire in that nefghl borhood. The firemen stated that a tele- phone message had been received stating that there was fire at the hotel on Sec ond avenue and Nineteenth street. A by stander suggested that it might be the old Phoenix Hotel, located in Eighteenth street, on the corner of Second alley. The fire-1ghters hurriedly remounted their wagons and drove to the place mentioned. Here they found that lamp had exploded on the third floor, damaging the floor mat ting and the wall paper, but the flames had been extinguished some minutes be- fore.
 The person who sent the alarm had be- come excited and saIu Nineteenth instead of Eighteenth street. The firemen were considerably annoyed at the mistake, but took the matter good-naturedly and re- turned to headquarters.

A3OTf4E2 ARREST.
May be Made in the Minneapolis Mur.
 der Case.

Minneapolis, Mnn., November 26.-Not- withstanding the fact that Frank H. Hamil- ton, the newspaper man charged with hay ing stabbed to death Leonard Day during a fight in the West Hotel Sunday morning. was today arraigned on a charge of murder in the first degree and bound over to the grand jury, it Is not at all unlikely that another arrest will be made. It was learned that one of the society young men who took hand in the fight was interested in the woman's case as well as Day and Hamilton, and the claim Is made that on various occasions he and Day had clashed regarding her.
 As yet there Is no direct evidence against him, but matters are so shaping themselves that the public Is beginning to believe that Hamilton is not the one who really killed Day.
 lie funeral of young Daly took place this afternoon from the West Hotel. It is not improbable that the West Hotel will have its liquor license revoked as result of the tragedy. The Mayor is now making an investigation, and is said to have de c1ared that if the barroom was open at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, as it is claimed, he can do nothing but revoke the license of the place.

SENATOR DAVIS
 AT DEATHS DOOR
His Physicians Have Given Up
 All Hope of Recovery
RECURRENCE OF DELERIUM
The Patient is Growing Weaker, and it is Believed the End is Near. He Desires to
 Live.

St. Paul, Minn., November 26.-It now seems to be simply a question of hours un- til United States Senator Cushman Kel- logg Davis passes away, the reports from his bedside tonight being that his strength was slowly ebbing. His physicians do not anticipate dissolution immediately, but practically admit that so far any hu- man agency is able to know, death is eer- tain The family have all along been buoyed up with the faint hope that the statesman might have greater reserve strength and be able to baffle the disease, but today they seemed to have at last abandoned len this faint hope, and are anxiously aw iting the end.
 Last night Slowed recurrence of the de- lirum of fright in fully as pronounced a form. Only three hours sleep was secured by the patient, and during the early norn- ing today he was noticeably weaker, while as te day advanced the weakness became more pronounced. He was unable to take much nourishment and there was eVeH diff fculty in administering the necessary med ieines. His wife, parents and sisters kept close at hand during the day, and all that could be done to alleviate his suffering was done by nurses and loved ones. When not delirious he sank into d stupor, and seemed little conscious of what was passing about him. Doctors Stone and Lancaster alternate now in spending nights at his bedside.
 In his moments Of semi consciousness the Senator will exclaim about his desire 10 live and express his wish for few years more life, he feels he is needed in the Senate. His attendants are much affected with the earnestness with which he states his belief in the necessity for him on the floor of the Senate.

ENSLEY MAY GET
 LOCOMOTIVE WORKS
The Rogers Company Looking
 Around for Location
GREAT DEMAND FOR HOUSES

 by Hot Slag.

Ensley, November 26. - Especially movement has been on foot for some time to get the Rogers Locomotive Works to ! locate plant in this district for the man. 1 ufaeture of railway locomotives. This com pany, 1t is stated, has contemplated the erection of additional plant similar to the one now owned by the company in New Jersey provided suitable location could be secured Representatives of this com pany Were in the district a short while ago and are now considering the advantages that thls district offers as d location for such an industry. There is plenty of room here for such an enterprise, and the in ducements offered by the town in the way of convenient location for cheapness of labor and materials cannot be excelled
 It is stated that there is not vacant house in Ensey. Several hundred additional houses could be rented by the real estate companies within a week if they could be secured. There are now being constructed a large number of comfortable homes, par ticularly along Avenues E and G. Even those who have heretofore been acting as the Doubdng Thomas are now con- vinced of the advisability of investing mon- ey in real estate here, and are beginning to let 1t flow freely. The real estate men are the busiest of the town. The wood- working establishments are taxed to their full capacity to keep the carpenters going. Now that water works electric lights, a new charter, and double telephone serv- ice are assured, increased activity is evil dent in almost every line of business.
 10. T. Schuler, president of the Alabama Steel and Wire Company, when questioned today concerning the rumors which have been published of the proposed sale of that property to northern capital, made the fol- lowing statement:
 All rumors regarding the sale or offers made for the plant of the Alabama Steel and Wire Company are without any founda- tion whatever. No offers will be consid- cred, as the property will not be for sale under any circumstances"
 A negro named George Freeman was se- verely burned last night by the hot slag which was being emptied by the blast fur naces, and died this afternoon. Freeman's duty was that of going with the locomotive and turning the pots to pour the waste slag, but 1t seems that he did not have the pot fastened securely when the engine left the furnace, and while turning a curve the pot turned over, pouring the hot slag upon the negro, who in some way fell from the car.

HEALTH COMMITTEE

OF Council Met Last Night and Dis
cussed Several Matters of Much
Importance
Council met last evening at the city
hall and during the meeting discussed
several important matters. After the
regular business of the meeting in
which bills to the amount of $129S7
were allowed they agreed to meet at
the City Hall Wednesday evening at Z
o'clock and proceed from there to the
crematory on the hill for the purpose
of inspecting the recent repairs made
on that plant.
The committee was waited upon by
delegation of citizens from North
Wheeling, who demanded prompt and
immediate relief from that terrible
stencil created by the plant of the
United States Fertilizing Company.
They also stated that it was claimed
by some that the smell originated on
the hill at the crematory but disprov-
ed the idea by the fact that when the
fertilizer plant is not running there is
no smell, yet at the same time there is
garbage on the hill
A notice was served on the Fertilizer
Company to vacate immediately over
two months ago when they acknow-
lodged they were unable after many
experiments to do away with the
stencil. The company, however, has
since closed down and is looking for
property about the Top mill and out
side of the city limits, where they ex-
pect to move the plant.
Mr.. Heard, representing .he W. Va.
Natural Gas Company, appeared be-
fore the committee and spoke of the
contract existing between their COM
pany and the city.
He asked that 6 cents per
thousand cubic feet of gas be allow
ed the gas company for all over the
twelve million cubic feet contracted for
by the city. The committee deferred
action on his proposition until they
consult the city solicitor. The commit
tee adjourned after appointing next
Friday evening. June 18th, as the date
of their next meeting.
