London, Jan. 21.-Throughout the
United Kingdom yesterday was a Sum
day of anxiety and suspense. No one
| in England outside the circle of the
court knew the real condition of the
queen or the nature of her disease. The
bulletins threw but little light on the
universal question whether death was
imminent. The London newspapers had
not learned that her majesty had suf-
fered a. shock of paralysis. Extra ed1-
tions of the Sunday papers contained no
information beyond the official bulletins,
but there were many Of them and they
were eagerly bought.
There were small gatherings in the
vicinity of Buckingham Palace and
Marlborough House, as well as other
centers where the bulletins were posted.
Crowds assembled to witness the arri-
val Of Emperor William. Apart from
such incidents, however the customary
quiet of London Sunday was not dis

The most alarming reports Of the day
came in the form of kilograms from the
princesses at Osborne House. The COM

that King Leopold was about starting
for London inspired fears that death
was at hand.
On the other hand, the fact that the

 Law for Collection of
 Sewer Rent.

Tuscaloosa, August G. Special J. A house of historic interest has just been sol in this place. It Is known here as the old Roddy property and was sold to Mrs. Poca White of nera Selma for the sum of S25O0 It is known to the old citizens of Tuscaloosa as the old Collier home, having been used as a residence by the late Governor Henry w. Collier, who previous to his term as Governor was chief justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama His home was the center of culture and refinement and was noted throughout the state.
 It was here that the marriage of Miss Virginia Tunstall, now Mrs. Virginia Clay Clopton, took place to Clement c. Clay, a Senator of both the United and Confederate States of America The leg islature of Alabama was then in session a the old state capital of Alabama and in honor of the marriage the General As- sembly attended the function in body.

 The board of aldermen of the City of Tuscaloosa have decided to collect the sewer rent. All persons who have sewer connections are liable for g annual rent, but 1t Is a law that has never been en- forced, so the collector will be instruc- td to collect for this year.

RoBBER CAUGHT IN ACT.
Jake Champion Broke Into Express
 company's Office.

Anniston, August 6-(Special)-A bold attempt was made this morning between 12 and 1 o'clock to rob the Southern Ex- press office in this city. and on charge of burglary Jake Champion, a white man, occupies a cell in the county jail. He was arrested last night by the police and upon his appearance before the mayor in police court this morning he pleaded guilty and was turned over to the State, his bond being fixed at $5oo, which he was unable to give.
 The attempt of Champion to rob the express office was a bold one, as the lights in the office were burning low at the time The man gained entrance by prising apart two of the iron bars that cover a rear window. Chief Clerk Frank Woodruff sleeps in a small apartment in the rear of the office. He was awakened by the ringing of the cash drawer bell, and getting out of bed he started for the door with his pistol in hand. He saw the man crouching down behind coun- ter, and at once opened fire, one ball striking the burglar in the right arm, another grazing his back.
 The man cried out that he would give up, and, covering him with the pistol, MT. Woodruff went to the front door and called for a night patrolman, who at once responded and locked Champion up in a cell at police headquarters This morn ing he confessed. Champion has just finished term in the penitentiary.

The Stability of St. Paul's.

From the London Telegraph.
 Much has been written and spoken re- gently on the stability of St. Paups ca- thedral and the danger likely to be caused by subterranean excavations, and to that discussion Somers Clarke, F. s. A, now contributes a letter which may be considered as of rather an alarming character He points out that the soil on which the great building Is placed was nevery very good, and Wren took his precautions accordingly. But even then the ground yielded little under the im- mense weight of the dome and It's sup ports Had the subsoil been left undis- turbed, 1t may fairly be supposed that no further movements would have taken place. At the bottom of the sandy stra- tum and over the clay water Is found, and this, no doubt, was soon tapped as the business of the city increased: A source of great danger to the fabr1c or the cathedral was thus established. About one hundred years ago great ties or iron were put into the walls. The transepts were tied back to the dome piers, and also across their fronts in the direction from east to west Since that time the south transept has shown strong lndica- tions to slide southward down the hli- side toward the Thames And not only is there movement toward the south. but the wall has opened from east to west. This enormous wall. feet to 10 feet thick, 19O feet wide and of an equal height, IS at this moment showing tendency to move as above stated; and the move ,nents are such that the breakage is eVl- dently caused not by the thrustng or arches but by the actual subsistence Of the soil beneath. When we reflect tcon- tinues MT. Clarke) that there are now between the church and the river not only deep drains, but the but the under ground railway beneath Victoria street, and the Waterloo and City line beneath that 1t is evident that the subsoil on which the ponderous masses of masonry rest has been seriously attacked. The west front, with its heavy towers and bells, has also subsided- s

ATHENS.
Limestone County Has Bad Luck With
 DIspensary.

Athens, August 6.-(Special. .)-The coun- ty commissioners have just finished cast ing up accounts with their recently-estab~ lished enterprise in the way of county dispensary, located in the western part of the county. When 1t was established there was a howl of complaint about its management.
 The commissioners sent committee to make a settlement. The business, as shown by the reports, was about $1700 during the life of the dispensary and with but little expense, yet with these figures the county comes out loser by $20O. This is a peculiar statement of facts, but tho court saw that the county had been gob- bled and they decided to accept the fig- ures and close up. The fact that there is no profit in the sale of s170O worth of whisky Is a puzzler to the committee.
 This section has been enjoying a splen- did rain for the past two days, something that was very much needed. Corn is el- most ruined and gardens have perished. This has been one of the most disastrous drouths in the history of the Tennessee valley.
