ALABAMA CROPS
 IN FAIR CONDITION
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE POOLE ISSUES REPoRT-coT- TON CROP IS s1 PER CENT; CORN 25 PER CENT SHORT.

Montgomery, November 26.-(Special)- Commissioner of Agriculture Poole today issued a report on the general condition of the crops In Alabama, which shows a fair condition. The report Is the result of statistics gathered from several hum drep correspondents in the various coun- ties of the State.
 From a total of over 600 reports the commissioner estimates the Alabama cot ton crop will be about 91 per cent. of an average yield. The average Alabama crop for the past ten years has been 992 999 bales. For the past five years 1t has averaged L0S8,2 200 bales The acreage the past five years has been materially increased, and there has been a much greater consumption of fertilizers-con- sequently the latter figures are the cor rect ones upon which calculations should be based. At least 95 per cent of the crop this year has been gathered, and there remains but little in the hands of the farmers
 The corn crop throughout the State Is at least 25 per cent. short of an average yield. but the farmers, as rule. have wisely provided forage sufficient upon which to winter their stocK
 The sugar cane and sweet potato crops are not so good as they were last year, but it is predicted that there will be no scarcity of these stable products. Very little fall blowing except the seeding of oats and wheat has been done.

GOV. JELks' APPOINTMENTS.
James B. Graham Succeeds T. w. Cole. man, Who Succeeds Judge LapsIey.

Montgomery, November s.--(SpeciaI.)-- Governor Jelks today named Joseph B. Graham as solicitor of the Seventh ju- dicial circuit, succeeding T. W. Coleman. who succeeds Judge James Lapsley as city judge of Anniston.
 The Anniston bar unanimously in- dorsed MT. Coleman for this position. The appointee is the second son of former Supreme Court Justice Thomas w. Cole man of Greene county. Several years ago yopng Coleman removed to Anniston and soon took leading rank at the bar. Three years ago he was elected solicitor of the Seventh judicial circuit, defeating J. B. Graham by a Very narrow margin
 MT. Graham who succeeds Mir. Cole man. resides in Ta1ladega and enjoys a large law practice. Three years ago he was a candidate before the General As- sembly for the position to which he now succeeds by appointment. It was during this campaign that MT. Graham was first known in State politics. but his rise has been rapid, until today he Is consid- cred the equal of the best stump speaker in the State. He was a member of the famous flying squadron in the Morgan Johnston campaign, and his commanding appearance and ability to cope with the best stump orators gained him wide pop ularity. He was again prominent in the campaign for constitutional convention, and being elected a member of that body. was made chairman of the committee on education. He led an uphill fight for bet ter recognition of the schools of the State and won.

THREATENS TO KILL
 THEIR CAPTIVES
6RiGANDS SAY THEY WILL MUIR DER MISS STONE AND MIME. TsILkA IF RANSOM IS NOT PAID BY JANUARY i.

New York. November 26-Commenting sent a message to American Diplomatic Agent Dickinson that unless he accedes by January l to their original demand for 25,000 Turkish lire or pounds (s110 000) ransom. they will kill both their cap- tives, Miss Ellen M. Stone and Mme Tsilka the Sofia, Bulgaria, correspond ent of the World says:
 This report comes in private advices from Dubnitza, the Bulgarian frontier town which Is the present headquarters of some of the secret agents through whom MT. Dickinson has been communi- eating with the brigands. The message Is said to be the robbers answer to the ultimatum reported to have been sent to them by MT Dickinson (but which he denied sending), offering as ransom 12,O0O Turkish lire or pounds ($52 000) and no more, and giving until next Saturday to accept that sum, after which that and all previous offers would be withdrawn.
 'Mr Dickinson, who was the United States consul at Constantinople when he was appointed diplon attic agent at Sofia, went to Constantinople imme diately aft CT the report became current that he had sent an ultinlatum and he Is still here. The report that the brigands will kill the prisoners is not belieye cd at Sofia"
 Sofia, Bulgaria, November 2s.--The bri- gands are determined to walt until the disappearance of the snow permits them freedom of movements before resuming negotiations for the release of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, and Mme. Tsilka, her companion. The im- pression which prevails among the best informed people here is that MT. Dickin- sons departure for Constantinople in- creases the difficulty of gaining the con fidence of the brigards and expediting a settlement of the ransom question.

was blown over his prostrate form in such a way that one end rested on some debris high above him. thereby forming a shield that kept the falling timbers, bricks and machinery from crushing him.
 The escaping steam. however burned him frightfully. After his arrival at Grace Hospital Rileys first words were. How did it happen?''
 Gradually the rescuers worked their way downward through the pile. By this time there were no cries or groans to aid them, for the flames had destroyed those unfortunates who were not killed by the explosion or the fall. But the work of rescue continued with unabated haste. When a heavy beam or piece of shaft ing was encountered team of horses was driven in and the piece of wreckage hauled to the street. Stretcher bearers stood beside the delivers and bore away the burned and blackened bodies. In several cases the charred corpses were so hot when recovered that they could scarcely be handled by the undertakers and assistants.
 Hospitals Are Filled.
 The hospitals were besieged by rela- tives and friends of the injured men. At Emergency Hospital, which was only a short distance from the scene and where many of the injured were carried in wagons the floors of the reception rooms and even the hall were used as a tenn porary resting place for the victims. Similar scenes were enacted at Grace and Harper Hospitals.
 The property loss, according to Sec retary Childs, is about $1s0,0O0. The firm carried $7O,0O0 fire and some boiler insur- ance.
 Subscriptions for the relief of the suf- ferers have been started.
 Nothing Is known as yet about the cause of the explosion. The boilers had been recently inspected and the engineer was known as one of the most careful and able men in the city.
 At midnight the injured at the various hospitals were reported to be holding their own.
 Of the twenty-six dead four died nt the hospitals during the early evening, and the other twenty-two were dug from the ruins.
