 Thousand Dollars.

A fire which was discoveret between 1 to 2 o'clock yesterday morning, com pletely gutted the place at the northwest corner of Dexter Avenue and Decatur Street, known as the Eleven Lights Sa- Icon. The loss is estimated at $4.OOO, which is covered by insurance.

The key to the fire box in front of the State Capitol is kept at the saloon and an alarm was hurriedly sent in from this fire box.

REV. H. URoUHART DEAD.
Passed Away Sunday Morning al
 Ttate Springs.


 The death of Rev. H. Urauhart at Tate Springs, Tenn, last Sunday morning is announced and 1t will be read with re- gret in many portions of Alabama. The greater part of his life was devoted to the active work of the ministry in the Methodist Episcopal Church. and he ranked high In its councils in this State. He was a native of Montgomery County and was born sixty-nine years ago. He was among the first students of the Ala bama Methodist College for Boys at Greensboro, although he did not gradu- ate until he had been preaching several years. When only IS years old he com menced to preach and received his license one year later.
 He has filled many of the most impor- tant stations of his church in Alabama and was often presiding elder. For sew eral years past he has been the editor of The Alabama Christian Advocate. the organ for the Methodists of both the con ferences of this State, and made his homo in Birmingham where the paper is pub lished This position he filled with great acceptability.
 His health has been failing for some time and with a hope of improvement by change he went a short time ago to Tate Springs. As announced in The Ad- vertiser day or two ago he did not im- prove and members of his family were summoned to his bedside and reached him in time to be with him when he passed away. Four sons and two daugh- ters survive him. one of the latter be- ing Mrs. A. J. Lamar of this city.
 His remains reached Montgomery on the L. and N. train at II o'clock yester- day morning and were carried to Eufau- la yesterday afternoon. The interment and funeral services will take place in Eufaula this morning.

WAIVED EXAMINATION
R. CLAYTON HICKS AND WILL.
 HAMS GO BACK TO JAIL.
Bonds of Alleged Counterfeiters Re- duced to $1,00o Each, But Reduction Failed to Help
 Them Out.

The name R. Clayton Hicks was again dragged into court yesterday and closely following it the name Jim Will Hams.
 Time was when the possessors of these names wrote Centreville, Ala, behind them when they were registered in hotel books, The names are now registered at the Montgomery County jail where the two men are held on the charge of pass ing money which was made in the red hills of Bibb County, lIa.. instead of in the hints of UneleSam.
 When R. Clayton Hicks and Jim Will Hams were arraigned before United States Commissioner John A. Fillmore yesterday morning a lawyer appeared to represent Hicks. Williams apparently had not been able to convince anybody that his money bore the genuine stamp, and so had nc counsel.
 Through his lawyer R. Clayton Hicks waived examination, and on motion, hls bond was reduced from $5,OO0 to $1.OOO This bond K. Clayton Hicks failed tc make and he was remanded to, the coun- ty jail.
 Jim Williams asked that his hearing bt continued until Thursday to give him ar opportunity to be represented by law yer as was his companion, R. Clayton Hicks. His request was granted and hi: bond was also reduced to H,00O. He. too was unable to make the bond, and he was remanded to the county jail.
 Mir. l. N. Gentry, who conducts a small store at Thorsby, was in the court room having been summoned as a witness. MT Gentry said he was prepared to testify that a few days prior to the adventure oi Hicks and Williams in Montgomery they had stopped at his store in Thorsby and had purchased two glasses of lemonade One of them with a grandiloduent air he said, produced $20 bill and demand ed the change. MT Gentry, after much trouble and after delving into his owr honest earnings, finally produced $l99' which he counted in the presence of flick: and Williams and delivered over to them This $20 was produced in court yesterday morning. and was received by Commis' sioner Fillmore to be used in evidence against Hicks and Williams.
 These young men it will be remembered were arrested late Saturday night by Po' lice Captain W. H. Taylor of the Mont. gomery department. They subsequently, confessed to Captain Taylor that they hade made money in Bibb County by s photographic process.

ALBERT DAVIS PARDoNED.
Probable Innocence of Mobile Man
 Established.


 An unconditional pardon was granted yesterday by Governor Jelks to Albert Davis, a young white man of Mobile. Davis, who was employed by a street railway company in Mobile, was convict ed in the Mobile City Court on March B, 1902, of seduction. and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.
 His application for executive clemency was accompanied by letters from ten of the jurors who convicted him stating that additional facts had developed since the trial which caused them to believe in the innocence of Davis.
 In issuing the pardon Governor Jelks said:
 This is a most unusual case. Ten of the jurors unite in a statement that they had become acquainted with information which if they had had at the trial, would have justified the acquittal of the de- fendant' They osk for his pardon. The trial Judge, Semmes certides to the per feet reliability of persons-several of them-who furnish affidavlts which. if true, make the young mans innocence of the particular offense charged. certain. I am convinced that this young man Is entitled to his freedom. Let pardon isstIe.'
