Intended No Discourtesy.

Oficers of the commercial organiza- tions here stated today that there had been no intention on their part or on the part of the people of this city to show any discourtesy to the miners State convention which body before final adjournment yesterday adopted a resolution sharply criticising the all legged discourteous treatment which 1t had received during its sittings here. A special complaint of the miners was based on the failure of local parties to provide them with a hall as a meeting place free of charge. Concerning the action of the miners in resolving to withhold their trade from the bir- mingham merchants for a year, lead ing business men state that they heard nothing of the matter unuil they saw 1t in the newspapers and were not aware that the miners had any grounds for complaint. Labor leaders cn the other hand assert that yesterdays &C., tiop was the continuation of many in stances of improper treatment by cit izens of this city and was the final outcome of a complaint of long stand ing. No definite action has ss yet been decided upon by the business men with regard to. the miners boycott, but 1t is expected that the commercial or- ganizations at their next regular meet ings will disclaim any intention Of i'm proper treatment of the miners and will seek to adjust matters.

Caused Some Uneasiness.

The information published in the Selma department of The Advertiser that the Louisville and Nashville con- templated bringing the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans down Valley Creek. around the cemetery, and down Jones Street to Melvin & Erhart's warehouse, caused some uneasiness to property owners in that section of the city. The people on Riverview, who have bought and paid for their homes, do not want the machine shops and round house and other annoyances so close to their residences Nobody can blame them for thus raising a kick, but it is not settled yet that the Louis- vile and Nashville will do what has been predicted that they will.

". I. WARD IS ON TRIAL
ACCUSED OF INsuLrIN0 1
 YOUNG WOMAN.
Birmingham Business Men and the oMoers of the Commercial Bodies Deny any Intentional Dis
 courtesy to the Miners.

Birmingham, July 3.--lSpeciai. The trial of W. T. Ward. weii-knowp young lawyer. on the charge of dis orderly conduct. 1t being alleged that he sent a note of improper character to Miss Nellie McGrew, began in the In- ferlor Criminal Court today. The case had previously been continued twice. Miss McGrew is a seamstress for the Smith Tailoring Company on Second Avenue, and is quite handsome. The case attracted quite . crowd. as the evidence was expected to De or sem sational character.
 The prosecution alleged that Ward had employed a negro to carry a note to Miss McGrew asking her to meet him at a house of i'll repute. Tom Bell. colored. testified that he carried . note from MT. Ward to the young woman. He did not know what 1t contained. but Miss McGrew said there was no answer.
 Chief of Police Austin told of a statement made by Ward after he was arrested to the effect that he (Ward) would prefer to pay $l0o than have the notoriety which the case would give him,
 Miss McGrew in her testimony said that she was 26 years old and was engaged to be married shortly. ehe said she received the note in question and sending for her intended husband gave 1t to him. She denied certain al- legations which had been made con- cerning her character, and asserted that she did not know Ward person. ally and had never seen him in her life except on one occasion where she hap pened to be witness in a court where Ward was engaged. She also denied that she had given Ward the slightest encouragement for him to make such a proposition to her as he had ad. vanced.
 Ward utterly denied his guilt, but Q fine of $l0o was assessed. He took an appeal.
 Pennsylvanians Take Possession.
 The Pennsyivapia capitalists who re- gently purchased the coal properties from the Virginia Alabama Coal Com pany, the Corona Coal and Coke Com pany and the Southern Coal Company in Walker County. have formally taken possession of the same. The name of the new concern is the Corona Coal and Iron Company. l.. B. Musgrove. Vice-President and General Manager of the new corporation will be actively in charge. while Horace T. Gibson, for many yC9E6 COntfCCtSu WAtil tuC AofOud Coal and Coke Company will be Gen. eral Superintendent in charge of all the mines. A member of the company stated today that many improvements are contemplat ted and that 1t Is the in- tention of the new owners to increase the output of the mines some 400 900 to a million tons a year. This, it is sta ted. can be easily done when more ma chinery is installed as the available supply of coal is abundant. The com pany already has orders on hand 10 run long time. J. B. Finley of Pitts burg, one of the owners of the Monon- gahela Coal and Coke Company, is President. The latter company IS one of the numerous soft coal companies which is said to be in the combine now forming among all the bituminous coal corporations east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers.

MT. Pe- ter deserves moro credit than any man in Selma for working up the baseball enthusiasm in the city. Selma is the smallest city in the Southern League, but for it's size 1t is the greatest base ball town. If the team should by any streak of good luck, pull upsto top place by the time the season is over, Selma would have case of baseball swell head that would cause it to look down on some cities.

Left a Wife in Georgia,

The town of Pocalontas, in the
southeastern part of Hardeman
county, has been the scene of a
sensation.
About year ago stranger by
the name of Or. John w. Seymour
located there to practice his pro-
fession. OF polished manners and
prepossessing appearance, he soon
worked into the good graces of the
people. who congratulated them
selves upon securing the citizenship
of such an estimable gentleman.
He had entry to every home and
was always welcomed. He passed
as widower, and was extremely
polite and courteous, especially to
the ladies', in whose company. when
not professionally engaged, much
OF his time was spent Eventually
he became engaged. In the mean
time rumors began to be circulated
concerning his past history. The
engagement was broken off and an
investigation disclosed, so it is
declared, that DR.. Seymour had a
a living wife, resident OF Madison
county, Ga. that he deserted her
in Ebert county, Ga. at the begin
ming OF the Spanish war and had
not since been heard from. He was
confronted with evidence at hand
and threatened with a severe
whipping. He denied the state
ments until further proof was pro-
duced, when he feigned sickness,
went to his room, remaining there
several days, and left secretly on
the eastbound train over the South
ern road Friday night. His where
abouts are unknown.

of State Morton the transfer tax OF
one-tenth of per cent. on the CAPT
tai stock Of that corporation for
making the transfer of its stock to
