Vaughan to hope that there is yet a chance for his retention, though the President is reported to have said posi- lively several days ago that MT. Vaughan would have to go. It Is thought the President will hold up the case long enough to give all sides chance to be heard. It Is not expected. however, that he will in the end retain MT. Vaughan.

Important Railroad Order.

The railroad commission was in ses- sion today and took action on two im- portant matters.
 The matter of issuing an order requir- ing the railroads to maintain depots un- der section 3451 of the code to meet the decision of the Supreme Court in Payne vs. Louisville and Nashville Railroad was postponed until December 16 When this order Is made 1t will only cover such stations as are. controlled and operated by the railroad and where the business of such station will pay to keep an agent
 This order when made will be simply to require the railroads to do by law what they are already doing voluntarily The Supreme Court has held that no duty Is imposed upon railroads to main tain depots in towns of less than 1000 in- habitants unless required to do so by the railroad mission. The order Is not made for the purpose of requiring the railroads to overhaul or otherwise change their present depots, but simply to have them maintained under the operation of section 3457 of the code. The clerk is now getting up the necessary data from the different railroads to enable the commits sion to take such steps as are necessary in the, premises.
 Guntersville Gets Depot.
 The commission took final action in the Guntersville depot case, and the depot was ordered removed from Wyeth City to the former place. In making its decision it stated its opinion as follows:
 After careful and personal inspec- ton and examination of the ground pro- posed to be donated to the railroad by the owners thereof, which said plat of ground is located next to and along the | right -of-way of said railroad being level | and in every way suitable for the location | of a depot easily accessible, within one hundred yards of the public square, and | convenient to the public, we are decidedly | of the opinion that this plat of ground proposed to be donated by the owners, viz, Robert M. Bell and T. L. Farrow, is the most convenient and suitable spot up- on which to erect and maintain a depot for the town of Guntorsville. 'We further find that the interest of the road and the public will be best sub served by a removal of the present depot for Guntersville, now located in Wyeth City, to the plat of land above described

Frank StrickIand's Life Saved By a Flagman.

Had it not been for the quiclSness of a fiagman in front of a switch engine on the Alabama Great Southern last night, Frank Strickland, seemingly about 50 years old would have been counted among the dead this morning instead of being locked up at the station house with a plain-drunk charge entered against him.
 Strickland was drunk and had fallen across the track with his neck on the rail- and was found in this position by a switchman, who had barely time to flag the engine before it severed the sleeping mans head. Officer Whaley was called and sent Strickland in, charged with be- ing drunk.

POOLE MAKES GOOD REPORT

Montgomery, December 9. = Especially Depositors of the banking house of Jo- siah Morris & Co. of Montgomery were greatly disappointed today at the banks failure to meet its promise in the pay ment of 121s per cent to depositors.
 It will be recalled that the Morris bank closed its doors during the latter days of last January. At that time the creditors entered into an agreement with the offi- cials of the bank whereby the funds and affairs of the concern were put in charge of the officials, and the creditors and de- positors were to receive their money in five payments as follows: July 1, 1901, 121z per cent; December l, 1901. 121h per cent; July 1, 1902, 25 per cent; January 1. 1903, 25 per cent; July l. 1903, 25 per cent.
 The first payment fell due last July and was promptly paid Naturally the disap- pointment today was great when the bank failed to make the second payment The reason for this failure is said to be the inability of the officials to realize on securities. It is believed that funds will soon be in hand to make the second pay ment
 President F. M. Billing met the credit ors and depositors at the window of the paying teller today and told them of the banks inability to pay.
 To a correspondent he said: T regret that the condition of the bank will not allow the payment of the 121s per cent We are unable to meet 1t today. We hope to be able to do so in the near future. I will issue in a few days statement of the banks condition. I have explained this to every depositor that has called, and all have been treated alike.''
 It is understood that the bank has had very little new business since It's re- sumption.
