ROAD IS ON GOOD FOOTING

Brunswick, Ga., January 25.-(Special.)- The Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad convention was today invited to Jekyl Island, and for the first time in the history of one of the greatest clubs of millionaires in the world body of southern men were entertained on its soil
 President Machen, at the head of the Ma rne Band of Brunswick, and over three hundred representative business men from Georgia and Alabama, marched from the boat to the Jekyl Clubs clubhouse, in- spected Edwin Gould's yacht and were shown all over the place By men of mil lions who are interested in the great road, started here yesterday when President Ma chen drove the first spike.
 The visit to Jekyl Island today was the greatest personal triumph that could be gained by any one man or convention, and when the Jekyl Island Club thus honored Presidet Machen and the Georgia and Ala bama people 1t demonstrated the great force behind the Brunswick and Birming- ham Railroad.
 c. w. Thompson, T. S. Plowman, Mir. Cason, MT. Reynolds and others of the Alabama delegations today captured the convention. In speeches offered to exempt the road taxes in Alabama counties by spe- cial acts of the Legislature for five years if it would come their way, and the Georgia delegations also came up hand somely. Over a half million dollars cash subscriptions have been pledged and enough cross-ties to build the road. This with the endorsement of the Jekyl Island Club and the immense attendance from Georgia and Alabama indicates something of the footing the road is now on
 The Brunswick and Birmingham Rail- road convention was permanently organ iZed today to meet annually with Edwin Brobston of Brunswick, president; J. B. Gibson of Birmingham, vice-president, and c. D. Ogg of Brunswick, secretary.

WHO WILL SUCCEED ALDERMAN DAILY |? Citizens of Ninth Ward Want
 an Election Held PETITION BEING CIRCULATED Political Rumor Says That Board of Aldermen Want to Select the
 Man and May urn Down
 the Reques1
PETITION BEING CIRCULATED

A petition addressed to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, asking that body to lay aside the prerogative vested in it, to name a successor to Alderman Daily de- ceased, of the Ninth Ward and to order a special election to fill the vacancy, is be- ing circulated and has received many sig natures.
 Just what action the board will take can not be foretold but it is understood that there is strong opposition among the al- dermen to such a plan, and it may be turned down.
 A peculiar condition of affairs exists in the ward and it is said that the little game of politics is playing important part in the question It is contended that an eff fort is being made to defeat the will of the people and that the people themselves are desirous of naming their representa- tive.
 It is understood that there number of aspirants to the place, among whom are Alderman Harrington who was defeated for renomination in the late primaries; w.. c. Garrett register in chancery; Mike Me- Govern, of the rolling mill; Col w. M. Denson and several other prominent citi- zens of the ward
 From what can be gathered, it is inti- mated that the proposed plan to give the Mayor veto power and to vest the council with the right to elect its presiding officer is cutting a figure in the matter, in that the board will elect a man not acceptable to a majority of the voters and one who is with the present ma jority of the board in order to maintain its power.

OWENTON.
Newsy Notes From North Alabama
 Conference College.

Owenton, January 25.-(Special)-Th second term of the North Alabama Con- ference College began on Wednesday, the 23d inst, with very fiattering prospects and success seems to be assured The fall term examinations were excellent and show great progress in all branches of study. The roll of students was increased by twenty-five, besides mot of the old stu dents returned there being a loss of but three or four.
 The scientific department now offers more excellent advantage. To the former apparatus of the laboratory has been ad- ded several hundred dollars worth of new apparatus this week and it can be said that the equipment is if not better the equal of any in the State. Nothing will be accepted in the scient3ic courses but the most efficient work, all the principles of physics. mechanics and chemistry are fully and accurately illustrated. The pub lie is most cordially invited to visit the laboratory during the school hours and witness the class experimental work. Prof. l. c. Jenkins hopes soon to give public exhibition under the auspices of the Epworth League.
 Great interest is taken in the military feature of the college. sufficient supply of guns are now on hand to form quite a large company of cadets. The military is purely optional With the boys eacn one joining of his own free will. The compa- nes will be prepared to contest at the fu- ture State fairs.
 The Owenton car line is now complete and we expect a regular schedule in few days. which offers untold conveniences to people going to and from the college.
 Rev. J. D. Simpson, presiding elder of Birmingham District, paid visit to the college today. He addressed the student body assembled for thirty minutes. He much gratified at seeing so large a body of students. His speech ani- mated, forceful and to the point.
 He assured the president and faculty and the students that the college work was his work as well as theirs, and that they may regard him a warm and zealous friend. It is true that he made friends of all on this his first visit.
 He was earnestly requested to call very frequently at the college.

endeavors to secure the release of Mrs. Maybrick, believing that she was unjustly sentenced. The members of the society have never thought that Mrs. Maybrick would be released as long Queen Victoria lived However the society has continued to gath CT evidence to prove that Mrs. Maybrick was not fairly tried and that the judge who sentenced her, Sir Fitzjames Stephens was of unsound mind when he tried her case
 The most important evidence for re- opening of the case or the pardon of Mrs Maybrick, is letter to Mrs. Maybrick dated June N 1895, from Lord Russell of Killo- ween. In it Lord Russell declares that Mrs. Maybrick was never proved guilty.
 It is understood that Ambassador Choate favored the release of Mrs. Maybrick and has only awaited an opportunity to present her case to the new home secretary.
 In case all appeals to the King and to the new home secretary fail, it Is under- stood that the Medical and Legal Aid So- ciety will ask Miss Clara Barton, of the Red Cross Society, to make personal ap- peal to the King.

RESOLUTIONS ON
 THE QUEENS DEATH
Adopted by the Board of Con- troI of the RilIman
 Hospital

At meeting of the board of control of the Hillman hospital resolutions were adopt ed upon the death of Queen Victoria the lamented English sovereign whose death has called forth the deepest sympathy of the entire civilized world.
 At meeting of the board, the following preamable and resolutions offered by Mrs. J. w. Bush were adopted:
 Whereas, In the death of Queen Victoria whose strong and vigorous mind, sound Judgment and great loving heart exercised such happy influence in most of the inn portant events of the nineteenth century, the entire world has suffered irreparable and grievouS loss; and
 Whereas, The beard of control of the Hill man hospital, feeling that it is peculiarly the province of women to commemorate one, not only Queen among nations, but literally Queen among women, honor to her race, an inspiration to her sex, most iEustrious as sovereign, but above all dis tinguished for her purity of character and devotion as wife, mother, friend. Among the stormy councils of nations her gentle voice commanded attention, ever recalling the divine message Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill to- wards men,
 Her womanly tact and unrivalled wisdom harmonized Europe, dispelling lowering clouds of war, and securing the blessed sun shine Of peace. The hrSt royal act was a prayer for direction and guidance which surely has been answered by the God of na ations in the bestowal of the longest, most prosperous and illustrious reign known to history, one of uneXampled glory and splen- dor, which ended in worlds benedction Of tears" The same firm, gentle Christian spirit which characterized her reign as sovereign was especially conspicuous in her rule over household and domestic affairs. The cause of charity has lost it's noblest and most generous patron. In the null tiplicity of duties as Queen of England and Empress of India, she never for moment lost sight of the poor and needy, but dis pensed her benefactions methodically and with lavish hand though in quiet, unos- tentatious manner.
 While loyal and devoted church woman, "Defender of the Faith" by her liberal views and broad catholicity of spirit, she established a precedent worthy of ernula- tion by all succeeding generations. There fore be it resolved,
 l. That we hereby express our admra- tion and Veneration of the most splendid and magnificent ideal of womanhood, whose memory we shall ever cherish as 'the uueenliest of women and the most womany or queens," and that page of our minutes be inscribed in loving memorial tribute.
 2. That (. copy of the preamable and resolutions be sent to the three daily news papers of Birmingham.

When, several years ago, New York S great Presbyterian minister made the pub lie statement that 1t was due to the use of Paine's celery compound that, after win ter of exhausting work, he was able to car- ry on his duties through the enervating sprngtime with unusual ease and comfort
 And when, little later the learned Bish- op of Burlington, Bishop Michaud, pub lished an endorsement of this great reme- dy, saying: Hoping that my words may inspire those readers who need health and strength with faith to try Paines celery compound and prove to themselves it's worth'-
 When, about the same time the public statement was made by the superintendent of the largest Woman's Christian Associa- ton in the country that those who have been taking Paines celery compound are greatly benefited and desire to continue it's use''-
 When the Rev. J. G. Laird of London. Ont, who wrote to the proprietors that if he had only known Paine's celery com pound when he was first afflicted with ner- vousness he would never have been placed on the list of retired minister's
 When these and hundreds of other unso- licited testimonials have come from minis ters of every denomination, there is no shadow of a question of the sincere regard In which this greatest of all remedies for blood and nerves is held by those who have used 1t.
 Jealous work, with no thought of their health or nerves, causes the retirement of a large number of clergymen every year.
 1t Is possible, however, to work hard and yet keep well if one will but pay the proper attention to the benefits to be derived from Paine's celery compound

STILL WRESTLING
 WITH THE QUESTION Another Conference Over Street improvement Amendment NO AGREEMENT REACHED A Suggestion Offered By B. F. Moore Partly Solves the ProbIem-Ad-
 journed to Meet Again
 Monday Night.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED

The vexatious question of the proper regulation of street Improvements, over which the City Council and a committee of citizens are wrestling with a view of so amending the law as to serve the best in- terests of the city, the property owner and at the same time make the securities ac- ceptable and desirable to the bond buyers, still remains unsettled.
 Another meeting of the joint conference of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and the citizens committee appointed to con- fer with the board was held last night, and although not largely attended some new suggestions were offered and much light thrown upon the subject.
 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Drennen, with the following gentle men present: Aldermen Altman, Camp, Kerr and Moore, and Messrs. w. H. Ket- tig, R. H. Pearson, B. F. Moore, B. M. AL len M. V. Joseph, John w. ONeill and Sgfried Steiner.
 The question was again caller up and Mir. Moore of the citizens committee at the re- quest of several gentlemen present pre- sented some pertinent views which he stated he offered merely as a suggestion The questions to be considered he said that there should be no loss to the city, that the burden should be made to rest easy as pOSSiDle upon the property owner and that the security or improvement bond be made acceptable to the buyers. He did not think 1t a good idea to invest in United States and state bonds as they would bring in small income and would cause loss to the city. He therefore suggested that bond running for ten years one-tenth of which would be payable at a fixed time every year be issued With the right of the redemption at any time provided interest was paid to the next period His plan also provided that the property owner could come in at any time and by the same payment of interest could satisfy the claim against his property. MT. Moore thought that bonds under such a plan could be placed at six per cent.
 Mir Pearson thought that MT. Moores plan was the solution of the question, but several of the gentlemen present thought that the bonds would not be desirable to the buyers and could not therefore be placed MT. Pearson differed with the gen. tlemen and believed that the bonds would be very salable and in support of his con- tention stated that trust companies were lending money here on much the same conditions.
 The plan suggested by MT. Allen at the former meeting of the conference for a straight ten years bond which could be placed on a per cent. basis was also dis cussed and some interesting talks were made. The discussion was participated in by MT. Kerr. Colonel Altman, MT. O'Neill, MT. Joseph, Mr Moore, MT. Steiner and the Mayor, and was finally deferred to another meeting to be held Monday night.
