It was said that the Governor went to Beau mont. Tex. on short business trip.
 At the Capitol the representatives of the coal mining companies had a brief con ference with President J. M. Carmichael and Associate Inspector Thomas Bradford of the Board of Convict Inspectors. After the conference. 1t was announced that a conference between the operators and the Board of Convict Inspectors would take place next Saturday instead of Thurs day as had been arranged
 The Convict Inspectors said there was no further information about the new or- der for working convicts until after the conference next Saturday.
 Operators Were Disconnected.
 The representatives of the coal mining companies were plainly disconcerted, but were reticent. One of them said he was at the Capitol Saturday and had received no intimation of the important change contemplated by the State government. HIS lnIOFmatlon or the new or0er of things, he said, he read in The Advertiser Sunday.
 Another representative of the coal min ing interests was rather bitter in his view of the situation. It was, he said, the most drastic decision that had been reached at the State Capitol in many years. He declared that if the State un- dertook to operate the mines an endless number of employees would be necessary, and said State operation of coal mines would lead to A variety of con ulfra fianS
 The apparent feeling of the men from Birmingham was that it would be better not to discuss the matter publicly until after the conference next Saturday.

TALLASSEE FALLS ARE NOW
 SUPPLYING ELECTRIC POWER

lights have burned successfully under | their direction for thirty days, the work has been completed and they withdraw. | On this account the local company is not now in charge of the power. Montgomery is lighted with Tallassee power," said Robert J. Chambers, Su- perintendent of the Montgomery Light | and Power Company.
 'The contract for furnishing Mont gomery with this power was to have been completed two years ago." continued MT. Chambers. Owing to circumstances with which the public is familiar, we were | not able to give the city the promised power. But it looks like we have it now, for every light in Montgomery is sup piled with power from Tallassee. We were disappointed so often, as
 to the turning on of tine power that we
 have been keeping quiet lately. But the
 power Is now on.
 The work at Tallassee is complete in
 every Getail, electrical equipment. power
 house and dam, and although the Tall lassee power Is in a degree experimental for the next thirty days. still I see no reason why it won't go on until we want to stop it,
 The current was first put on the city arc lights Thursday night as a prelimi- nary experiment and everything worked 
 smoothly. Friday and Saturday nights the city lights and some of the incandes- cent lamps were supplied with Tallassee power. Sunday night the power from Tallassee lighted the whole city for a period and last night it went on as a regular thing.
 At the power house last night every- thing went on without hitch and all of last night the lights burned merrily.
 The Montgomery Light and Power Com pany is carrying full supply of steam In its boilers, so that in case anything should go wrong the motors of the plant under the old regime could be turned on and in a few minutes the city would be lighted as usual.
 Tallassee Falls are about twenty-five miles from Montgomery. The electric power is conveyed nere by large copper wires. The plant at the falls has been under construction several years

TEXAS MUSTANGS.
Not Many Are Now Raised and Used
 in the Lone Star State.

Dallas (Tex.) News.
 The famous mustangs or bronchos while once very popular in the South west. are now almost eliminated from the live stock of this section. They were pop ular with the Western pioneers because they were very hardy, easily kept and cneap Texas once had scarcely any other horses except mustangs and Choc- taw ponies, but that pioneer age has passed. Since the organization of the Texas State Fair. the horses. in com have greatly improved. The fair itself has been the principal factor and incen- i've to the improvement of Texas horses.

 The sales of these animals are by no means confined to Texas buyers either.

Many good sales of saddle and harness animals are being made daily at the fair.

Purchase of Bottle Holder.

Purchase of Bottle Aolder. As to the purchase of the bottle holder, Mir. Osborne said Molineux was daily in Newark and knew the Hartdegen store we'll where he had a friend, Arnold. Why, then. he asked. did not the defense call Arnold who had refused to come here for the prosecution?
 Taking up the evils of the handwriting experts Mir. Osborne said that the testi- mony of David H. Carvalho the expert called by the defense proved his conten- tion that Molineux wrote the poison pack age wrapper.
 By whom do I convict Molineux of that writing?" he demanded, "out of the mouths of his enemies? No. Out of the mouths of his friends. Two bankers of Newark who knew Molineux and his writ ing and who had no enmity towards Molineux told you they were sure Moli- neux wrote those disputed writings. 1 am satisfied to let that portion of the accusation against Molineux rest upon the testimony of Carvalho."
 Mir. Osborne declared that the writer dared not hide his hand or use printed character or a typewriter for fear of de- feating his object by arousing the sus- picion of the rccepient of the package.
 "The sender of that package had ts use a pen. He found himself having to decide" counsel said. between the scylla of doubt and the charybdis of his own identity"
 At 6 o'clock Justice Lambert announced a suspension of the proceeding until to- morrow morning.
 Mir. Osborne said 1t would take him three hours to finish his address, but Justice Lambert said he would allow him only two and half hours. This will take him till the time for adjourning for lunch and the afternoon session will be started with the charge of Justice Lam- bert.l
