RESIGNATION OF
 COUGHLAN PENDING
MEMBER OF BIRMINGHAM FIRM HAS RESIGNED FROM NEW OR LEANS COTTON ExcHANGE--HAS NOT YET BEEN ACTED UPON.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat of yesterday says:
 The resignation of J. H. Coughlan of Smith & Coughlan of BY bingham from the New Orleans cotton exchange is pend ing before the board of directors. It was not acted upon at the last meeting, al- though then before the body under the rules.
 Meanwhile the Savannah investigation of shortage in cotton shipped by Smith & Coughlan Is being prosecuted
 Details of the weight shortages of Smith & Coughlan are not yet known here in cotton circles, beyond the state- ment of representatives of Pfermenges, Preyer & Co. and Knoop, Frerichs & Co. that in the instances In which these firms are interested, the actual weight of the cotton received in Europe was less than the Invoice weight on through bills of lading not subject to inspection and cor respondingly drawn against by the firm oA oAiiAlH & OOuBnlan.
 Savannah advices are to the effect that President Egan of the Central of Georgia and Claim Agent Gray of the same road, in Birmingham. are Investigating the shortage, and that the railroad denies ever having received the cotton for which Smith & Coughlan exhibit bills of lading and for which the firm Is said to have drawn against Georgia mills for weights equal to the repudiated bills of ladng.
 The firms of Knoop Frerichs & Co. and Pfermenges, Preyer & Co., of Savannah and New Orleans are interested in claims for shortage on export shipments under through invoices, against which the firm of Smith & Coughlan drew for the weight set forth in the invoice and bills of lad Ing, although the cotton received in Eu- rope under the consignments weighed thousands of pounds less than the in- voice weights.
 Inquiry among cotton weighers yesterday developed the fact that the bill of ladng weight is not necessarily the weight of the consignment transported. Railroads do not make a custom of weighing con sgnments of cotton under normal con- ditions. The carriers ordinarily assume that the weights given by the shipper are correct, and reweigh the cotton only where there is reason to suppose that shipper is customarily giving false weights to evade freight rates.

 It Is stated that the Pennsylvania rail- road, which is seeking a new terminal resorted to a novel expedition to meet the scarcity of steel, which has threaten ed to delay all work of extension of the line and general improvement here. A de- termination has been reached to wreck the bridge which crosses the Delaware river at Philadelphia and transport 1t on trains of fifty cars each to Washington. Here 1t will be assembled and made to span the Potomac. The Philadelphia bridge has provision for only two tracks. While this is sufficient for the traffic entering and leaving Washington 1t is not enough for the branch to Atlantic City, the use to which 1t has been put. The Washing ton bridge must be fin place sooner than 1t is possible to get structural steel from the mills. The Philadelphia bridge will be brought over and new Philadelphia four track bridge will be built when the mills can furnish the steel.

PISTOL TOTING IS
 ON THE INCREASE
MEN FINED AND SENTENCED TO WORK THIS MONTH FOR CARRYING CON- cEALED WEAPONS.

Will Mitchell and Alex McCrary, both negroes, were each fined $100 and sen- teneed to work 1SO days on the streets by Judge Feagin yesterday morning in the police court. They were arrested the night before and when searched pistols were found on them.
 During the past month there have prob ably been more cases of concealed weap- ons tried before Judge Feagin than in any other month in the past two years. There has hardly been a day this month that some one was not arrested on charge of carrying concealed weapons. It is stated that to date twenty-one have been fined and sentenced to work on the streets on that charge.
 For some time past the habit was some what broken up, and there were only five or six cases a month This month they seem to have broken out again, and the fever struck many. Case after case has come up, and now the policemen are more on the alert than ever before to find the pistol on a prisoner as soon as they catch him.

HARDING HAS NOT YET BEEN LOCATED Fort Payne 0efaulter Said to
 be Noted Crook FORMER NAME WAS BLAZER Sympathy of Citizens Said to Be With Mrs. Hardlng-Husband Tried
 to Swndle BirmIng-
 ham Firms.
FORMER NAME WAS BLAZER

Nothing further has been learned of the whereabouts of L. C. Harding, the de- faulting banker, who disappeared from Fort Payne on April 10.
 It is now alleged that Harding is a noted crook who has operated various schemes In different parts of the country. The Fort Payne Journal contains a tele- gram said to have been received by Davis & Haralson of that place from Green- vile. O., which says:
 Name Was Blazer.
 'Harding's real name is Blazer. He Is a national crook and we have found three jobs he turned up here" The telegram was from MT. zorn, a grain dealer of Louisville, who shipped grain to the De- Kalb Milling company, of which Harding was president, and his drafts were not honored. He came to Fort Payne to col- lect them, and finding Harding gone, ac- companied Mrs. Harding to Greenville, O.. in search of him.
 One report accused Mrs. Harding ol compliclty in Hard1ng's operations, but this is positively denied in Fort Payne and tho sympathy of people there Is said to be with her It is felt that she Is a victim of Harding's machinations as much as anyone else.
 Harding bought her fine buggy which she immediately surrendered to the cred itors when she learned it had not been paid for.
 A Letter Head.
 In going through Harding's papers at the bank a letter head was found which read: Fort White Southern Railroad company, paid In capital $2,5o00OO. J. r. Bennett president, L. c. Harding vice president and general attorney, J. D. White, secretary and treasurer" No post office or location is given on the letter head. From this 1t seems that Harding had been operating elsewhere on a larger scale and under the same name he used while in Fort Payne.
 A nice suit of clothes, several fine shirts and suits of silk underwear were found in Harding's room after he left, which had been bought from a clothing house in Birmingham. They were not paid for and will be returned to the house. A fine piano which he had also bought in Birmingham, on which he had paid s25, was reclaimed by the house and will be returned.

Thomas School.

oSti0Ots
 In his report to the board Dr. Mason recommended that the Thomas school, colored. at East End, be abandoned, as 1t was unfit to be used He said when 1t ralned water was left standing around the building and that there were other things that tended to make conditions unhealthy; that the building was entirely too small and inadequate.
 The report compllmented the pupils in the different schools for their studious manners and an evident desire to gain as much as possible from their school work
 The health officer recommended that re- pairs be made in several school buildings. He said all of the colored schools were crowded with pupils.
 Powell and Henley Schools.
 The statement was made that the Powell and Henley schools were In ex- ceptionally good condition.
 After the reading of the report a res- olution was adopted to the effect that the mayor and board of aldermen be re- quested to have the necessary sewer con- nections made at the school on Fifth ave nue and Fourteenth street. north.
 MT. Parker of the finance committee, presented number of bills and they were ordered paid.
 The board wished to hear a report on the Thomas school question from Mayor Drennen. The board then went into ex- ecutive session.
 There were present Superintendent Phil lips. A. o. Lane. president; John L. Par ker, M. G. Gregg. Mayor W. M. Drennen, and Samuel Ullman.
 Need Emphasized.
 Tn referring to the proposed new high school building in his report Superinten- dent Phillips said:
 Tn my last annual report emphasized the need of high school building as the city's most urgent necessity The rented building in which the school is now con ducted is unsanitary, poorly adapted for the work and entirely inadequate for the accommodation of the present member ship. The number of students applying for admission is yearly increasing, and at the beginning of the next scholastic session In September 1t will be necessary for the board to provide additional rooms for the use of the school, or to deprive large number of the youth of our city of the advantages of secondary educa- ton.
 "The building erected should be ade- quate. not only to supply the recognized needs of the present but to meet the cer- tain demands of the immediate future. It should be large enough, not simply for the population of the present corporate limits of the city, but for that of the greater Birmingham which Is certain and inevitable"

troubles of the gentleman farmer.
Some friends were lunching with him at
his deliberately equipped farm. and were
asked whether they would prefer cham

impromptu affair, and the wine had not
been opened, several of the gentlemen
present indicated that milk would satisfy
their modest wants, co." said Governor
