BINGHAM LOSES OUT.
Official Decapitation of Republican Leader Caused Uneasiness
 Auno1u OficeholderS

Considerable interest is being rnani- fested in Republican circles in this city over the re ent official decapitation of Julian Bingham. Collector of Internal Revenue. and the appointment of Thos. B. Morton. who was a deputy clerk un- der Bingham to the position.
 Thic action followed the visit of Charles J. Allison. Clerk of the United States Court at Birmingham and Post office Inspector Caufield, to Canton, Ohio. a few days ago. They saw the President and must have whispered something into his ears that did the work. The work of decapitation Is said to have only just commenced with the rolling of Bingham's head In the basket.
 State Chairman Vaughn endorsed Morton. while National Committeeman Dimmick and his faction were for Bingham. It Is said that other of the ins are to follow Bingham and there IS a great deal of uneasiness felt in of- fcial circles about the government building in this city. There will not be any great surprise to receive the an- nouncement any day that some of them have been made to walk the plank.
 The fight seems to be on in Alabama and those who have opposed the Vaughn faction will. in all probability, soon go the way of Bingham. and only those faithful to his cause be longer al- lowed to hold any of the offices in this State

place gave accounts of z. substance in the creek which burned very freely, but at the time no attention was given the matter. Recently several persons in the vicinity of the place have been to Mir. Carroll to try to purchase the lands on which the coal has been dis covered, which excited interest and caused more specific inquiries to be made.
 Your correspondent today interviewed MT. Blair, q reliable gentleman who resides in the neighborhood of these lands, who stated that he had seen some of the coal which was taken from the bed of the creek. and that he had seen 1t burned, and that it burned lsnnelled while burning just like rther coal does. That discovered is said to be in a lump several feet square in the bed of the creek, and becomes soft and wet while heinz taken from the water. yet burns very freely when placed in the fire.
 To what extent this coal exists is not yet known, but Nil. Carroll will have an expert to make a thorough lnves- tigation of the matter and it Is be- lieved that it will prove to be valuable.

Browns Trial Wednesday.

Jim Brown, the negro of St. Clair County. who is in jail here for brutal assault which he committed upon Miss Dell Garrett at Springville. early in May. will be taken to Ashviile. the county seat of St. Clair County, We'd nesday morning for trial. A special term of court for the trial of Brown convened at Ashville this morning. It is expected that the grand jury will in dict him at once and that all will be ready for trial by Wednesday, The court was ordered by Governor Jelks about a month ago, few days after the capture of Brown in Charleston, s. c. The feeling against Brown in St. Clair County ran very high for several weeks following the commission of his crime. and hundreds of armed men secured the woods in search of him. A suspicious looking negro who. when hailed by a posse near Leeds, ran, was shot to death on the suppOsitlon that he was Brown. A dsy or two after Brown was brought here he was gtVeh a preliminary trial before Chancellor Carmichael and was fully identified by his victim. This action in holding the preliminary was taken for fear that Brown would be lynched if he was taken back to St. Clair county. This action provoked consid- erable indignation in St. Clair county and at a mass meeting of citizens it was denounced and assurances were given the Governur that the law would be allowed to take Its course. So far as is known. no steps have yet been taken looking to providing a military escort for the negro when he Is taken to Ashville. Officers of the National Guard here stated today that they had received no orders. In fact. no troops will be sent unless the Sheriff of St. Clair county asks for them and this action seems improbable in view of the assurances of good order which the cit- izens have given. It is expected that Browns trial will be a short one and that he will be convicted.

MORTON IS APPOINTED
SUCCEEDS BINGHAM AS CoL-
 LECToR OF REVENUES.
Indicated That the Vaughan Faction is in Complete Harmony with
 the Administration-Kill- ing in Saloon.

Birmingham, Aug. 19.-(Special.)-A press dlspatcn from Washington an- nouncins the appointment of Judge Thomas Morton as Collector of Internal Revenues tor the district of Alabama to succeed Julian Bingham, whose term has expired, caused much surprise hele. It is generally accepted as an- other evidence of the fact that the Re- publican faction in this State, headed by State Republican Chairman William Vaughan, District Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, has the complete ear of the administration at Washington.
 About three years ago, MT. Bingham disputed MT. Vaughans leadership of the Republican party in this State by running against him for State Chair man. A bitter fight ensued. It was not settled until 1t was carried before the Republican National Convention at Philadelphia, Where the Vaughan delegates were seated, and the Vaughan faction scored a complete triumph. Since that time the power of the Vaughan faction in Alabama Re- publican politics has been more strong ly asserted than ever. This, it is point cd out. was evidenced when Colonel William Youngblood, Third Auditor of the Ireasu.e., ana a stauncn support CT of Bingham. was deposed some time ago, Youngblood at the Philadelphia Convention having been beaten for re- election as member of the National Re- publican Committee. It was not ex- pected. however, that the Vaughan in- fuence would exert itself to the extent of beating Bingham for reappointment. MT. Binghams friends, while they knew Judge Morton was a candidate against them, felt very confident of Bingham's success. So confident was Mir Bingham himself that he left here early this morning before the news of the change in office came for a vaca- tion trip to Buffalo and the East. Judge Morton. the new appointee, is a native of Fayette County, Alabama. He was for many years school teacher in that county and afterwards served for six years as Probate Judge. For a year past he has been Deputy United States Clerk in the office here. He is a man of wide popularity and much capabil- ity, having an excellent official record behind him. He has been a warm SUD- porter of the Vaughan policy.
 The victory of Judge Morton gives rise to report that other Federal changes will be made in Alabama, and it is rumored that Hon. Dan Cooper, United States Marshal for the North ern District, is among those who are slated to lose thei- official head. He is being opposed by Judge John B. Shields of Jasper.

Killing in Bessemer.

At Bessemer this morning Harry Shrump. died from the effects of pis- tol shot wound inflicted on Saturday night by Louis Baggett. aged 17, in Bickert's saloon. According to the story told by witnesses Bagsett asked Shrump to drink with him the latter refused. This angered the boy, who took a pistol from his pocket. Shrump told him to put up the weapon which he refused to do. Angry words ensued and Shrump it is said. slapped Bag gett. whereupon the latter fired, shoot ing the man through the side and also shooting off one of his thumbs. Bag gett Is the son of a saloonkeeper n Bessemer and will be given a prelim- mary trial tomorrow. Shrump was a puddler in the Bessemer rolling mills and was 35 years of age.
