Brunswfck's Big Hotel Was Struck
by Lightning.
Brunswick. Ca. July s.-The Ogle<horps,
Brunswicks massive brick hotel. was
struck by lightning this afternoon. The
fire burned in the towers of the cupolas
for about two hours before being discov-
cred The flames were smothered. and for
two hours after their discovery 1t took
the combined efforts of the Brunswick
fire department. and a volunteer force,
consisting of every available citizen, TO
put out the fire and assist the guests In
removing their belongings. The estimated
damage is between $4,000 and $40, 90,
mostly by water, as the fire was confined
to the cupola tower and the short story OF
rooms underneath, through which an i'm
mense volume of water was sent down
through the ceilings and floors to the
bottom floor, drenching many rooms com
pletely and loosening the plaster con-
siderably all around.
The hotel Is worth about $4,000, but is
only insured. together with the furnish
ings and fixtures. at $4,000. This amount
is carried as follows: $4,000 on the build
ing and $1,000 on the fixtures and furnish
ings. distributed as follows: Philadelphia

NO CHANGE IN JURY SYSTEM.
Alabama Convention VIII Not Pro-
vide for Majority Verdicts.

Montgomery, Ala, July S.-The Consti-
tutional Convention to-day, after an ami
mated debate, decided not to change the
present jury system. which guarantees
the right of trial by jury.
The pending question was on Section
p, of the proposed constitution, which is
arousing great interest all over the state.
An amendment by the minority that
three-fourths of jury shall find verdict
in civil cases, was the principal cause Of
contention Mr.. Long Of Walker. OPP
posed the amendment. He said II was
brought up by men hostile to corpora
ttons, who wanted to get big damages
out of them.
1T is a scheme to work corporations
for damages, and it invites their hostil-
ity to the constitution" he concluded.
Mr. Thompson of Bib also spoke
against the amendment. saying If 1t was
right in civil cases. it Is right in criminal
cases.
Mr.. White of Jefferson admitted the
present law was old and covered with
cobwebs of centuries. This amendment
would render it necessary to tamper with
only four men to defeat justice.
Judge Coleman offered an amendment
allowing the Legislature TO provide TOT
three-fourths verdicts except in cases OF
tort or suits for damages. Rejected.
Favorable report was made on the
Watts ordinance relating to the guber-
material succession, which provides that
if Gov. Jelks should for any reason va
cate his Office, d. J. Meadows, president
pro tempore of the Senate, "a. NJ. Tun-
stall, speaker pro tenn of the House, and
the attorney general, in the order named,
shall succeed to the governorship.
No Fifteenth Amendment i'm Theirs.
The convention this afternoon adopted
twenty-six sections of the bill of rights.
thereby completing the article on that
subject
The body struck from the report of the
committee. the section reiterating the M
teenth amendment to the Federal consti-
tuition, which is in the present constitu-
ton. 1t also refused to accept an amend
ment prohibiting the fogging of convicts
in Alabama, which is a statutory pro-
vision.
The proposition to give three-fourths
of a jury the right to return verdict
in civil cases. was rejected.

HOPE FOR SAVANNAH.
CONTINUED from First rage.y

The review of the situation appealed to
Secretary Root not only from a legal
standpoint, but, he was impressed with
the inestimable injury TO commerce
which might result from unnecessary de-
lay in providing adequate facilities for
the commerce of Savannah harbor He
promised to give the subject further con-
sideration and expressed the hope that
the result might meet all the immediate
demands of the occasion.
Senator Bacon, while refraining from
taking a too sanguine view of the case.
and without attempting to anticipate tho
decision of Secretary Root. expressed the
belief thatthe Secretary apparently takes
a somewhat different view of the condl-
tions in Savannah and also the legal
status of the case from that which ac-
tuated his former decision which was
adverse to the expenditure of more than
$4,000 of the unexpended balance for Sa-
vannah harbor.
