Huntsville.
 A resolution by Mir. c. A. Lanier of Montgomery. raising a committee to prepare a memorial to the Constitu- tional Convention urging limitation upon municipal franchises, was refer red to the Committee on Resolutions.
 Under a suspension of the rules reso- olutions by Mir. Gilbert of Montgomery, thanking Dr. Kassenann for his able address and also acknowledging the work of the Agricultural Department in circulating reports of the Association were adopted.
 MT. Kyle of Gadsden, addressed the Association on the subject of electing Railroad Commissioners by the people. He said the matter of transportation was of the greatest importance to the business men of Alabama. He declared that railroads in Alabama are con- 6ucted in the interest of great centres of trade and that the smaller cities are discriminated against in the matter of freight rates. For this reason he thought Railroad Commissioners should be elected by the people and that their powers should be extended. He said he was not prepared to present res- olution to the Association but he hoped the organization would present me- morial to the Constitutional Convention on the subject.
 At 6 o'clock the, Association took a recess until S:30 o'clock.

The committee also reported favor l ably the resolution that it is the sense | of the Association that provision should be made by the proper school authori- ties for more practical education, with special reference to that department
 generally known as manual training. MT. Ashcraft said that there should
 be a system of manual training in ev-
 cry school in Alabama, and the reso-
 lution was adopted.
 The committee also recommended a
 resolution requesting the Governor to call a Good Roads Convention next Oc-
 tober or November, to be composed of delegates from the various counties, based upon their representation in the
 State Convention. and that the Nation
 ai Good Roads Association be invited to participate therein, which was adopted.
 Also a memorial to Congress relating to locks and dams on the Coosa River, authorizing the Secretary of War to
 contract with individuals or corpora
 tions for the utilization of water power created by said locks and dams which
 was adopted. Also a resolution. protesting to the Constitutional Con1 ention against re-
 cuction of the general limit of the tax
 rate. asking a special tax for. school purposes, and that the power of citi-
 zen to vote according to his wealth, should not be incorporated in the Con- stitution, the latter being a substitute
 by the committee.
 The resolution provided further that the levy and collection of a special rate of taxation of not more than one-quar- ter of one per centum per annum for the established school districts or town ships of the State or such school dis
 tricts or townships as may hereafter be established by law, for school pur-
 poses. Provided, that such special rate of taxation of one-quarter of one cent be first authorised by a majority
 vote of those participating in an elec-
 tioS to be held for that purpose for
 such school district or township. The
 substitute of the committee was that the right to vote should not be based upon the wealth of the citizen. MT. George w. Jones of Montgomery | objected to the wording of the resolu-
 tion in regard to the levying of the
 special tax rate for schools, as 1t might
 work great hardship upon corporations
 or large property owners.
 Mir. Blackwell of Decatur favored the
 resolution and thought it in direct .ac-
 cord with the theory of our institu- | tions. Messrs Lanier and Chaffee spoke to
 the resolution, expressing the opinion that those who pay the taxes should
 only be allowed to vote for levying Q | tax. Messrs. Blackwood, Hill and Morit8
 made addresses. the latter taking the
 ground that the right of the State to
 educate its children were paramount to the interests of the taxpayer Mir Ashcraft spoke for the resolu-
 tion as reported by the committee. The substitute was adopted. A committee to nominate officerss
 consisting of Messrs. Rice. Hohenberg,
 Pettus. Blackwood and Chaffee, was appointed.
 The convention then adjourned until | 9 o'clock this morning.

THE NIGHT SESSION.
Report of Resolutions Committee Was
 Adopted.

At night the attendance was as'1arge as that of the other sessions. There were number of visitors among them. teachers and editors.
 The first paper read was by Hon. John B. Weakley of Florence. on Municipal Ownership of Public Utili- ties." He made a strong argument in favor of the ownership by cities of their public works, giving statistics and figures to show that they have proven most satisfactory and profitable wher- ever given a fair and business-like trial.
 MT. James A. Ward of Huntsville, delivered happy and eloquent ex- temporaneous address on '"The Invest ment of Foreign Capital in Industrial Development" He gave a most at tractive picture of Alabama's growth and the great facilities yet offered in that direction. He told of the great work Alabama had done in the way of industrial development and made predictions of what lay ahead of the State.
 Messrs. A. G. Reynolds and O'Neal of Huntsville, spoke upon "The Rela- ton of the Press to Industrial Devel- opment," and held that advertising was the keynote to the success of the great industrial work in the South has taken up. We have but to let the world of capital know what we have to have it ultimately properly developed and brought out.
 MT. c. II. Aubrey. Special Comns- sioner of the Charleston Exposition, was invited upon the floor, and ad- dressed the Convention on the great advantage to be obtained by Alabama through a proper exhibit at the Charles ton Exposition.
 Hon. R. R. Poole, Commissioner of Agriculture. said that he had been allowed to expend 5000 at Buffalo. He had solicited exhibits from the towns and cities of Alabama and Huntsville was the only one that had responded. He appealed to the others to take the matter up and do something in that direction for themselves and for the State.
 MT. Pettus of Huntsville, also spoke along this line. He was in favor of advertising and thought newspaper ad- vertising a first class method, but the best of all was the small hand book setting out the advantages and facili- ties of the section proposed to be pre- sented, which could be carried around in the pockeL and referred to at pleas ure.
 MT. J. T. Ashcraft of Florence. read the report of the Committee on Res olutions. The report endorses the open ing of the Coosa River and asks a suitable appropriation to carry on and complete the work, which was adopt ed.
 The Committee also reported favor ably the resolution providing for a committee of nine to prepare a peti-
 3n to the Constitutional Convention to limit the life of municiapl franchises to corporations to a definite and reas- enable term of years. and of making the value of franchises returnable as real property for taxation be incorpor- ated into the organic laws uf Alabama. The Committee also recommended that the committee be requested to foster a sentiment favorable to the purposes of this resolution. which was adoDted.

A Large saurian.

Parties fishing at one of the lakes in Eimore County last Tuesday found near by the skeleton of an alligator of larger proportions than is usually found in this region. The remains were too much decomposed for accurate meas urement. but the animal was at least ten feet in length, and the size and
 appearance of the teeth indicated that he was of pretty mature age. Nothing could be learned about the animal ex- cept from the statement of a small
 negro boy who said the gator was killed by his father not long ago.

With the exception of Pittsburg, the Western clubs are faring decidedly worse on this Eastern trip than they did on the last. It seems that nothing can stop the rush of that Pittsburg team. The Montgomery friends of that game little outfielder, Fred Clark, are glad of his success. Cheesbro held New York down to three hits yester- day while ten hits were made of Do- heny, whose team gave him the yellow est of chrome colored support.
 By breaking even in the Philadelphia games yesterday. St. Louis holds sec ond place, New York being only three points behind them. The sensation of the day was the tIemendous jump of Boston. which team, by the two victo- ries over Chicago. goes from seventh to fourth place, just one point above Brooklyn. Brooklyn's bombardment of Noodles" Hahn yesterday puts them in fifth place.

The steady rush of the Selma team is something remarkable, and yester- days victory over Nashville was the ninth straight win for them, the first Little Rock game on Monday of last week being the only one they have lost since their return home. The game yesterday was the fourth straight victory for Cribbins, and If he. Bailey and Baker can keep up the fast pace for the remaining five games at home Tenders team will have a record that has rarely if ever been rivalIed.

(lSyf1 was from nallNe ithe ltdIlhS U a succession of mares by Jolly Roger Valiant and Tryall. while Plaudit QS9S) was from family 2l, tracing to the Moonah Barb mare.
 Mathewson of the New York Club is by all odds the most talked about young man today in this country. He certainly has revived the game in the metropolis and saved the old league from a disastrous season. The whole New York team are now on edge to win every game possible. for winning the championship in Gotham would mean at least $l.0s0 each at the close of the season, and their chances for pulling off the coveted bunting are not so bad after all. since Brooklyn and Pittsburg are much weaker than last season and will have trouble to get tn top especially Hanlons boys. With New York hustling, and the army of players all over the country favoring the giants, it will have big effect on the outcome.
 Mathewson vas released by New York last fall after less than one months trial, but the release looks bit queer. seeing they had the man in a few days after. There is quite long story. and 1t may all come out in the United States courts later ,as Cum ningham, the owner of the Norfolk club, informed me that he had brought suit against the New York club over the Mathewson deal. In 1899 Mathew son was given a trial by the Taunton club of the New England League. He was very wild in Cne game giving eight passes to first in one inning. so Umpire Toby Lyons says. John Smith, who was managing the Portland team at the time secured the young man to go with him to Norfolk the next season. wfere he developed him into winning, pitcher, and late in August sold the man to New York for the sum of $2.00o. the money to be paid if the man was retained. Norfolk has never receivea one cent so far.
 When time came for drafting play CTS New York sent word that they had no use for Mathewson, and gave up all claim. At the same time the Norfolk owner received word from Nick Young that Cincinnati had drafted the man. and he would send check as soon as the player was signed.' Cincinnati never made a move to sign the player, but turned him over to New York, who play of a lifetime. The Norfolk peo- pie made some kind of an agreement with Manager Burroughs of the Toron- to Club of the Eastern League. and President Powers of that league is making fight for Mathewson, with no chance whatever of succeeding. The Norfolk club Is fully entitled to the $2,O00 from some one.-Chicago Reco.d- Herald.
