In the United States Court this morn ing a motion to dismiss the case of George A. Blinn and others vs the Con- tinental Security Redemption Company because of lack of Jurisdiction was argued but owing to the fact that the same matter will come before Judge Bruce in Montgomery on May 24th. Judge Meek declined to make an order until after that time. The Continental Security Redemption Company is the debenture concern which recently went into receivership here. following which there has been much litigation.

Convict KlIieu by Guard.

Information comes from Coalburg that Lige Parks. a negro convict sent up from this County for burglary and grand larceny. was shot and killed by one of the guards at that place today. Parks was a trusty and had been as- signed to certain duties outside of the regular stockade. Two days ago six convicts escaped from Coalburg and the guards were on the lookout for them. Parks had been sent to notify some of the guards to come in and one of them mistaking him for an escape fired on him in the dim light of the early morning. The fact that Parks wore the clothing of convict and that he was apparently at large led to the mistake. It is said that he was twice ordered to halt but instead of doing so moved rapidly away from the guards. Coroner Paris is Investigating the mat ter

SET HIS cor ON FIRE
FRANK MILLHA,s DEsPDRATE
 EFFORT TO 1soAPE.
A Theory is That He Expected to Be Removed from His Cell and Make Escape During
 the Confusion.

Birmingham, May 16.-(Special J. Frank Miller, the noted cafe blower who Is under sentence to hang June 2S for the murder of Policeman J. W. Adams. made a desperate attempt to burn the county jail where he is con- nned at late hour last night. Miller, 1t appears had been given a small oil lamp with which to light up his cell 10 that he might read. The lamp was freshly filled yesterday and during the night the prisoner opened the lamp and with the oil saturated the bed clothing of his cot and then struck a match to 1t.
 The smoke from the burning bedding had penetrated every part of the jail before the fire was discovered. As Henry Ball ordered the hose turned into tMiller's cell. In a few minutes steady stream of water was pouring into the condemned mans cell, while he crouched in one corner and watched the progress of events. It required only few moments to extinguish the flames
 Miller was not allowed to leave the cell although the fire came very close to him. An examination afterwards showed that some of the oil had also gotten on the prisoners clothing. and this gave rise to the theory that the man contemplated burning the jail and himself in it. Another theory is\ that he expected by setting fire to the prison to be removed from his cell. thereby securing possible opportunity to es- cape.
 When questioned about the fire Mill Ter denied that it was intentional. He said that he dropped the lamp acci- dentally and spilled the oil, and that he accidentally dropped lighted match and that the confiagration followed.
 Miller's latest escaade has led the authorities to exercise greater precau- tion than ever and he will be closely watched day and night from Aow to the day of his execution.

The Grand Lodge.

The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order Odd Fellows, has formally in- dorsed the movement to establish Q Widows and Orphans Home in this State. This action was taken after a spirited contest over the matter. It was decided that a per capita tax of 40 cents per annum shall be called for to establish and maintain the home and that the Grand Lodge shall eject three trustees to have charge of the same. The trustees, it is expected, will within the next few months receive offers for the location of the home, which 1t is presumed will be estab- lished at the central location making the most favorable proposition. The Grand Lodge sustained the action of Grand Master Pepperman in suspend ing Southwestern Lodge at Sheffield on charge of insubordination, and an appeal from that lodge for the return of Its charter was granted. The charge against the Sheffield lodge was that it took iii a member who was engaged in the saloon business in violation of the Grand Lodge statutes, and then failed to send transcript of the investiga- tion ordered therein to the Grand Mas ter. The greater part of today's ses- sion of the Grand Lodge was, devoted to discussion of new constitution oh0 anu llclCiiiiA8 tU EcpOE l5 of the committees. The officers recent ly elected by mail ballot were formally installed.
 The Grand Lodge adjourned tonight after deciding to meet next year in Selma. The matter of adopting a new Grand Constitution went over to the next meeting as unfinished business.
 The State Assembly of the Rebekahs, the female auxiliary of the Odd Eel lows, before adjournment decided to in crease the salary of the secretary in accordance with the recommendation of the retiring president. The newly elected and appointive officers were in stalled as follows: President, Mrs. l.. Harris of Ensley; Vice President, Mrs. J. R. Wing of Montgomery, Secretary, Mrs. Lizzie Wegelin of Bessemer; Treasurer, Mrs. G. R. Doron of Mont gomery; Chaplain, Mrs. M E. Holt of Birmingham; Warden.

The question Of submitting the
new constitution Of late has engaged
the attention OF the members OF the
convention, and it is easy to read "oe
tween the lines" and to arrive at a
conclusion as to what the result Will
be, whatever the pledges made by
the Norfolk Convention. In the
opinion of many OF the leading mem
bers OF that body, there is no doubt
that the Convention has the power
ito proclaim its work or submit
either to the present or an abridged
electorate" If there has been any
doubt in the matter, it was removed by
the speech of Ex-Governor Cameron on
Wednesday, in which he said, that it
was not the intention of the Convention
to submit the constitution to the l46,-
900 negroes of the State. That he voiced
the sentiment of the great majority OF
the members was shown by the "tremen-
dous applause" with which his velws
were received. The Constitutional Con-
vention has evidently arrived at the
conclusion that the pledge made at the
Norfolk Convention was "a bad one and
better broken than kept"

The Suffrage Committee of the Con-
stitutional Convention has, according to
the latest advices, lat last agreed upon a
plan the same as that already reported
through our columns. 1t permits all per
sons to vote who can read or understand
a section of the Constitution. This is to
be operative until January 1908. After
that date there is to be permanent plan
with $3.50 property qualification and a
$3.50 poll tax prerequisite. The voters
also are subjected to the Australian bal
lot test. The property qualification,
however, is not satisfactory to all the
members of the Committee, among them
Senator Daniel, and that portion of it
may be modified or eliminated altogether.
1t is gratifying at least to believe that
some plan is to be submitted at an early
day, and we decline to believe as some
do, that it will not meet the just ex-
pectation of their constituents.

Constitutional Convention.

The Suffrage Committee OF the
Constitutional Convention had q
new plan submitted Saturday for its
consideration. 1t was prepared by
Delegate A. P. Thorn, of Norfolk and
has many original ideas. 1t seeks to
divide the electorate into classes
property holders, the professions,
skilled laborers, common laborers
and soldiers. Common laborers shall
be continuously employed for eight
months of the year. All of the various
classes are to prepare their own bal
lots, except that soldiers and their
descendants are to be allowed To
have assistance. All persons offering
to vote shall have paid the capita
ton tax prior thereto.
The Constitutional Convention
Monday heard the ablest arguments
on the question of submission VI the
Constitution listened to since the
body met. Rev. Mr.. Dunaway and
Mr.. Hill Carter both took the ground
that the convention had the right to
either proclaim or to submit to an
abridged suffrage. The first named
gentleman spoke from moral ana
political standpoint. He maintained
that the convention had the right
to submit its work to an abridged
electorate. Mr.. Carter made splen'
did legal presentation Of the same
view. he maintained that the Legis-
lature could not make conditions foI
controlling this convention which
we're not contained in the act call
ing that body.
Mr.. Withers, of Danville, has in
troduced a resolution for fellow ser
want clause in the Constitution. This
provides that the employees OF all
railroads shall be put on equal foot
ing with passengers In their right "a
obtain damages for injuries received
in accidents. 1t makes the railroad
companies liable for damages to
their employees whether the same re-
suit from the carelessness OF fellow
servants or not. 1t covers the entire
.round coptended for by the labor
organizations of the State. The res
olution went to the Committee on
Corporations.
The Committee on Executive, De
partments Tuesday morning In exec
utive session considered the report
OF Auditor Marye as to the expendi'
ture of the Governors of the State
for the past 20 years. The contents
of the Auditors statement contained
no such sensational matter as was
expected, and it's showings will hard
ly cause the convention to make any
changes In the present appropria'
lions to the contingent fund. Some
of the hundreds of the items given
in the report include these: Flowers
for Governors mansion, 500; supplies
for Governors mansion, $911; mate
rails for the same place, 1929
another charge OF $22 for flowers
dry goods, $3.50. 95; blankets and lin
ems, $50, and $3.50 to the Cowpeni
battle fund. Governor Lees expen.

Executives. Large amounts OF this
though, went to pey counsel fees II
