Berkeley, Cal, May S.-Prof Leusch-

nounces that HIS class in theoretical as
tronomy has arrived at important re-
suits regarding the orbit Of the comet

second comet Of the year 174s. which
was seen for only three days and then

Everything is in readiness for Elks Night, which will be celebrated at East Lake next Thursday night" said MT. c. s. Simmons, chairman of the committee of arrangements, "and It's success Is as- sured beyond all doubt. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company Is arranging to handle a crowd of 5000 on that night, and we do not think the att tendance will fall below that. The att fractions are going to be very numerous including a number of shows, etc., in ad- dition to the regular attractions, and everything will be conducted in the best possible manner. The Elks will have charge of everything-the aquatic thea Ire. the bowling alley, the cafe, the chutes, the boating, the side shows and all, and members of the order will be on hand in large numbers to see that the crowd Is properly looked after. The chief event will be the grand fireworks display. This display will be the finest ever presented in or about Birmingham. The fireworks which were in hand at the Fourth of July celebration could not all be used on account of the rain, and there remains a large number of fine pieces. These have been supplemented by sev- eral hundred dollars worth or additional fireworks. and a magnificent programme will be presented. The display will take place about o'clock"

Unlontown, Ala, August 16, 1902. I, IH.1fk1.. Fftt.~

OnlontoWn, Ala, August 16, 1903. To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In reading an article in your issue of Thursday headed Communicated" I find the reports from this section of Ala bama totally at variance with the true state of affairs as reported here. This morning Mir H. c. Keeble of Selma, one of it's best known business men, told me that he travelled constantly over this section of the state and especially. in his home county, Dallas. He says he will bet sl0o to $50 that Johnston will not get counties south of us are equally strong for Jelks. In Mckinley beat. Marengo county, they report only four Johnston men, in Thomaston only one and in our neighboring town of Faunsdale only two.
 As to our own county. Perry, 1t was al- ways for Johnston, but we now have strong hopes of carrying 1t for Jelks.
 Uniontown beat has about 1855 white registered voters. Of this number the Johnston men claim from sixty to eighty, but don't think they will get sixty.
 Wednesday night, after one days no- tice, Hon. J. Tom Hefin spoke here to large and enthusiastic audience.
 MT. Heflin had his audience with him from the start, and with a few excep- tions even the Johnston men conceded that it was one of the finest speeches ever heard here. It is the unanimous opinion here that MT. Hefiin is the great est orator In Alabama. A number of men here who were vascillating have come out on the Jelks side. He used up Joe Johnston so badly that he emblttered the dyed-in-the- Johnston men. Some of lis audience thought MT Hefiin too ex4 treme in the disfranchisement of the negro, as we have the best clement of negroes here and many Of them are good citizens. THOMAS HUDSON.

Signed to the bond were the names of s. P. Prowell, D. M. Prbwell, W. J. Prowell and R, R. Poole, secretary of agriculture His release was given during the early part of the afternoon.
 The preliminary, which was begun Fri day, was continued yesterday morning. Although the prosecution had been aIl- nounced closed, David J. Trott, son of the deceased, was put on the stand. He told of the trouble between his father and himself and described the shooting He said his father was not drunk, all though he had taken one drink.
 Three witnesses were placed on the stand to testify that the deceased had threatened to do bodily harm to Prowell on Friday night proceeding the shooting. Commissioner of Agriculture testified as to the character of the defendant, claim ing 1t was excellent, he never having been engaged in trouble before.

At the station he asked the mo- torman to go back with him and see what the trouble was about. AS the two walked up Trott was quoted as saying:
 There is the now" At the same time he struck at the defendant face. Trott then stopped to pick up something as if to hit the conductor with it. When he did this, Prowell said he shot. He asserted the deceased was certainly trying to get something with which to hit him and that he did not run as soon as he hit him.
 J. J. Strickland and Arthur w. Mo- Daniel testified that they heard Trott say be would fix" the defendant, and before the shooting.
 D. H. Wellman of East Lake was a witness for the defense. He Is of the Lockwood Manufacturing company; was on front end of trailer on the inside seat; heard someone say: Never mind the ladies'" This expression he heard just as the car came near Sloss furnace. Expression came from rear of car. saw Trott have the boy around the neck. When the conductor came along heard the man say: There's the - - now" The conductor remonstrated with him and told him he would have to get off the car; that his conduct was against the rules, and that he should keep off his car in the future. Trott got off the car and stopped down as if to pick up something. Did not see the shooting Did not see Prowell draw his pistol Could not see whether Prowell followed deceased.
 After short arguments by counsel, Jus tice Abernathy said he would bind over the defendant but allow him bail.

Executive Committees ReSoIu-
 tiOnS Have Good Effect
UNTIES FALLING IN LINE
The St. Clair County Committee Has Already Resclnded It's Action and Other Counties Will Readily
 Follow State Committee.

The democratic county executive com mittee of St. Clair county has rescinded it's call by which all voters were to be allowed to participate in the primary election without restrictions, and have endorsed the resolutions of the state executive committee. It declaired that it's resolutions were never intended to be in conflict with the action of the state committee. The county primary of St. Clair and the state primary occurs on the same day. The qualification for state officers are the same as those prescribed by the state executive committee, and the authority and ruling of the state committee is recognized and endorsed.
 Chairman Lowe received a telegram yesterday from MT. Seibold, chairman of the county executive committee of Mar shall county which says that the resolu- tions of the democratic state executive committee will be recognized and en- dorsed by his county committee at it's meeting tomorrow.
 It is expected that the county commit tee of Butler county will take the same action at it's meeting.
 "Up to this time" said Chairman Lowe last night. We have found no occasion to appont managers in any precinct, the county executive committees indicating perfect readiness to act in accord with the state executive committee. The sub committee will not appoint managers in any county where the county executive committee recognizes the authority of the state committee. The intended purpose of the resolution of the state commit tee was to provide a uniform qualification for voters throughout the various cleo tion precincts in the state. The populists and republicans are not invited Into the democratic primary, and will not be al- lowed to name the democratic nominees The committee Is determined to confne the state primary election to democrats and none other but democrats will be allowed to participate in naming candi- dates for democrats to vote for"

He complained that the Chi- nese were getting very unruly. and that he had great trouble when he went to arrest John Lee.
