Coronation Ceremony Will
Take Place August 9.
D..rE Is OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED

Sinister Rumors Regarding Kings
Malady Now Go Observation-Disclosures
Is Now Able to Walk With the Aid
of Cane.
London, July 30.-The latest and
most reliable information indicates
that King Edw;. IDS doctors were not
mistaken in fiAi..g Aug 9 as the date
upon which LIS majesty could be
crowned. The sinister rumors which
have pervaded Ill classes for the last
few days now appear to have lost that
semblance OF prob bility which made
even the members OF the cabinet nerv-
GUS lest another postponement Of the
coronation might be necessitated. The
apprehension that King Edward would
be unable to stand the strain of the
coronation ceremony has been greatly
lessened by the announcement that
his majesty is now permitted to use
his feet and with the aid of a stick
has done a little walking. Another
late telegram from Cowes, saying that
nearly all the restrictions upon the
kings diet have been withdrawn, has
been welcomed as evidence that the
late ominous conclusions were drawn
without considering the doctors con.
illusions. King Edward sat, smoking,
on the deck of the royal yacht and
watched the races of the small yachts
off Cowes.
Those who drew differences from the
fact that the invitations to Westmins.
ter abbey were not dated have had
their fears dissipated by the procla
nation published in the Gazette last
night fixing Aug. 9 as the date for
the coronation, which is altogether OF
more Importance than what nigh,
have or might not have appeared on
the cards of invitation. -
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
will leave Buckingham palace on Aug
10 for the royal yacht, where the fleet
will pass in review. ~
On his return to the royal yacht
the king IS expected to take an ex
tended cruise to the northward and tc
spend several weeks at Balmoral
where preparations for the arrival Of
their majestie:s have already beer

RAILROAD COMpI Y
SEABoARD COMPANY WILL III
 PROVE ITS CROSSING
Board of Revenue Preparing to Sue Road About Unsafety of Cross ing When Matter Was satis-
 factorily Adjusted.

The County of Montgomery and tha Seaboard Air Line Railroad will not go to law over the alleged nuisance maan- tained by the railroad at the crossing on the Lower Wetumpka Road.
 The differences between the railroad &and the county have hen adjusted
 The railroad had established switch at the crossing and the people who had to use the road complained many times to the Board of Revenue. The county au- thorities at first could get no assurance from the road officials that conditions would be improved and some friction developed.
 All this, however is past. County Att torney John G. Finley was instructed to bring suit 1n the Chancery Court to compel the railroad company to improys the crossing and make 1t safe. BefoSe the suit could be entered the railroad authorities assured the Board of Revenue that the switch would be changed and made perfectly safe and be so arranged that 1t would not obstruct travel. The company announced that dt was ready to act upon any suggestion as to remedy- ing conditions that the Board might make.
 This act of the company has put stou to the prospective law suit.
