 BY A HOT SLAC POT
Horrible Death of a Negro Near the Alice Furnace Yesterday Morning
 Employed at Gas Works.

James McRea, a negro employed at the gas works, was killed yesterday morning about o'clock by being run over by hot slag pot near the Alice furnace.
 Coroner Dallas was summoned and held a preliminary inquest, at which evidence was offered which tended Ito show that Me Rea had left the gas works after midnight lin company with two other negroes, and it was at first thought, and is yet claimed by the railroad crew, that the negro had been murdered and placed on the tracks. It later appeared that he had endeavored to catch slag car and was thrown under and most horribly mangled, his body being dragged over 200 feet and cut into more than as many parts.
 At the time of his death the police depart ment is said to have been on the lookout for him on a warrant charging him with sault and battery, and it is believed he had been hiding at the rear of the furnace just before he was killed

 The Fiipinos he asserted, spoke well of the American soldiers, save that they said that the Americans "were bad people, when they had drunk too much liquor

FUNERAL OF MISS M'CRossIN
Impressive Services at St. Paurs Gath
 olic Church

All that was mortal of Miss Eleanor V. M'Crossin was laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery yesterday afternoon. Tine fun eraa took place from St. PauPs Catholic church at clock and despite the incem- enit weather the attendance was very large. The Rev. Father O'Rei1ley conducted the services, which were brief but impressive. The offices began with the beautiful old funeral anthem, Libra Me-" sung by the choir. After the rites over the bier were concluded Father O'Reilley delivered an appropriate discourse on the death of he body and the eternal life of the soul. This world, he said, was only our resting place We were here to prepare for eternity. In simple but eloquent words he pointed the way to heaven. The deceased, he said, had been striking example of right living. She had been faithful in the service of God and His church and when the time for her departure came she was prepared for eternity. Hers was happy death. The good priest concluded by eXhorting ahis hearers to strive for higher spiritual 1ife and not to neglect the things pertaining to salvation.
 AS the cortege moved out of the church the choir sang Nearer, My God, to Thee"
 The following gentlemen acted as pail bearers: P. H. Conbett, J. W. O'Neill, Jo- seph Franklin, Edward Downey, Lawrence Bramlage and L. Smith.
 A committee from the Elks bearing floral designs, attended the funeral as token of respect to the brothers of the de- ceased, who are members of the order.

LOCAL AFFAIRS OF
 TALBOTT & PALMER Meeting of Creditors Will be
 Held at Noon Today. REPRESENTATIVES, ARE HERE Liabilities Will Not Exceed $1o,ooo, and Settlement Will Probably be
 Effected by an Extension
 An Honest Failure
REPRESENTATIVES, ARE HERE

A meeting of the Birmingham creditors who failed on February 2, will be held at noon today in the office of Cablniss and Weakley for the purpose of effecting a settlement.
 Charles Talbott, a younger brother of the head of the firm, accompanied by Charles H. Hall, of Macon, Ga., attorney for the firm, arrived in the city yesterday and will this morning notify the creditors of the meeting.
 Allan Talbott manager of the Birming- ham branch, accompanied by his brother Charles, left for Macon immediately after the failure. A few days later the former was called to Richmond by the death of q relative, and is still in that city, but in tends to return to Birmingham, it is stated within the next few days.
 A representative of The Age-Herald call ed on MT. Hall and young Mir. Talbott last night and asked for a statement of the firms bus ness so far as it affected Birm.ng- ham creditors and of the future plans of the concern. MT. Hall replied that there were only twenty-two creditors on the books of the Birmingham branch, and that the amount due them would not exceed $10 00O He had no doubt but that these credi- tors, after considering the situation, would prove as liberal in their views the Macon and Atlanta creditors. He said he thought that the firm would resume business in Ma con and Atlanta the latter part of this week, and that it would undoubtedly re- ceive generous support. It was the firms desire to resume here at the same time.
 '"rhere never was more honorable fail- ure," Mr. Hall continued, land the credit ors. after making a thorough investigation of the books of the firm, were disposed to help them in getting a fresh start. The Birmingham branch was in excellent shape, and was doing a most profitable business"
 Allan Talbott, who had charge of the Birmingham office, has made a fine impress sion here as a straightforward business man, and is exceptionally popular in business and social circles.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH
Negro Ate Biscuit Pudding Which He
 Said Had Been Poisoned

Peter Peterson, a negro who drifted into the locality, died at Thomas Friday night under rather peculiar circumstances. He claimed previous to his death that he had eaten some biscuit pudding at the home of his prospective mother-in-aw which had been "dosed."
 At the inquest which Coroner Dallas held Saturday evidence was introduced to show that Peter had been paying court to the dusky daughter of the woman whom he ac- cused of poisoning him, but that for some cause he had ceased his attentions to her.
 The testimony was not of a convincing nature, and the coroner decided that death resulted from unknown causes, although he will make further investigation.

HOSPITAL FOR NEGROES
Worthy Movement by Prominent Mem
 bers of the Race

A movement is on foot among the colored people of the city to build hospital for the exclusive care of the members of their race
 The work has been undertaken by the Woman's Mission Congress and Hospital association, which was founded by Mrs. J. R. England on July 26, 1898, as charita- ble organization.
 The object of the association was original ly to take up and systematise the work of charity among the negroes of the city and surburbs and to relieve as far as possible, the burden upon the United Charities. The work was pushed by Mrs. England, who met with much encouragement among the whites. She succeeded in organizing six districts and has furnished relief to many needy persons by providing fuel, provis- ions, clothing and medicine.
 In order to enlarge the scope of the work 1t has been decided to build a hospital and, as far as possible. the funds will be raised among colored people. Several successful entertainments have been given and the nucleus of the fund started.
 Another entertainment is being arranged which will take place in the near future at one of the colored churches in the interest of the hospital. An old-fash1on spelling bee will be the feature.
 Neal J. Lowe, postal clerk on one ef the local runs, and a well known colored man, will be in charge and has personally offered several cash prizes. An interesting pro- gramme has been arranged and it is ex- pected that a neat sum will be realized
 It is the intention of the promoters to be- gin work on the hospital within the next few months.

THE SITUATION
 GROWS BRIGHTER Prospects for Base Ball Are Ex- ceedingIy Good.
  NASHVILLE WILL ORGANIZE Augusta is Interested and With Little Effort Would Enter the League Exhibition Games With
 the Big Teams
NASHVILLE WILL ORGANIZE

The baseball situation in the south which seemed to lag somewhat during the past week has taken on new life, and appears much brighter now than at any time since the agitation of the question of a Southern league was begun about a month ago.
 Abner Powell seems to have been suc- cessful in his. efforts to interest Nashville fans and tonight a meeting will be held at the Maxwell house in that city to organize a local club. The Nashville American of yesterday has the following to say of the local situation:
 Secretary Abner Powell, of the Southern Baseball league, has called a meeting of all Nashville fans at the Maxwell house to- morrow night at o'clock. A large number of baseball enthusiasts have announced their intention of being present. All in- terested in the organization of a league team in Nashville are urged to attend.
 MT. Powell said last night that there was every prospect of success and that he would like for a start to be made imme- diately. Several of the National league teams are coming south early in the spring and Nashville will have no trouble in ar ranging exhibition games with them. Three games each may be arranged with Chicago, Cincinnati and New York. It is likely, too, that St. Louis will play here.
 "The stock company will be organized at the meeting tomorrow night. Officers will be elected and the move for a successful season of baseball in Nashville will be given an impetus.
 "There is no doubt as to the enthusiastic sentiment in favor of baseball in this city, and the meeting will probably be well at- tended"
 Augusta Interested
 News comes from Augusta. Ga, that the fans of that city are anxious for baseball this year. and 1t is believed that if an effort was made to organize a club there it would be successful. Augusta was one of the best baseball cities in the old Southern league several years ago. It is probable that the matter will be taken up with the Augusta fans in a few days
 The Cincinnati and Chicago teams of the National league will do their spring train ing in the south, the former at New Orleans and the latter at either Selma or Vicksburg. The New York, St. Louis and Pittsburg teams will probably come south and the Pittsburgs will likely train at Thomasville, Ga. These teams go to their spring training grounds early in March, and if tn Southern league teams can be gotten together by the middle of the month exhibition games can be arranged with the major league teams.
 As soon as MT. Powell is assured of Nash vile coming into the league he will go to Memphis and from there to Little Rock to look over the situation in those cities. It is believed that by the end of this week the fate of the league for this year will be definitely settled.
