A Receiver Named.

The Wimberly and Thomas Hardware Company and Lucius Frierson of Bir- mingham and Phillip Kleberg of New York city, as creditors of the Empire Coal and Coke Company. by their attor- neys. have filed petition in bankruptcy against that company. and have obtained an order from Judge Jones, appointing Charles A. Stillman receiver, with author ity to continue the operations of the com pany.s MT. Stillman has executed the re- quired bond. which was this morning ap- proved by the clerk of the United States Court, and he is now in charge of the business of the company. Those who are in a position to know, state that the pro- ceedings are entirely friendly, and were necessitated by the death of a large stockholder, which event prevented the company's obtaining expected assistance in carrying on it's development. The eff feet of the proceedings will be to interest new capital and to reorganize the com pany. 1t is stated. There will be no in- terruption in the businuess, which the receiver will continue under the orders of the court. The property is considered a valuable one, situated at Empire. Ala in Walker County, and is made up of coal lands and some one hundred coke ovens just being completed.

For St. Louis Exhibit.

President F. M. Jackson of the Com mercial Club, chairman of the commit tee on Alabamas exhibit at the St. Louis Fair, has been interviewing the officers of several corporations during the last few days on their attitude toward the exhibit and has received much encourage ment, Ii now seems assured that enough money can be secured to represent the district at the fair.
 J. A. MacKnight has offered a sugges- tion that has met with a good deal. of favor, The plan Is to send to the exhibi- ton the figure of collosal man from forty to sixty feet tall, built of iron, steel and coal At the base of the figure the other products of the district can be grouped. Investigation has been made and it Is known that a figure of very large proportions can be cast at com paratively reasonable figure. The idea Is considered excellent and 1t Is thought will be adopted at the next meeting of the committee.
 The members of the committee are enthusiastic over the prospects of an ex-
 hibit and in a few days active work or
 the canvass of funds will be instituted ! A meeting will he held in the Commercial
 Club rooms on Saturday morning at 11:3' | o'clock at which definite plans will b' | outlined, The committee consists o

MAN BURNS TO CRISP
COMING MILL OF POWDER
 PLANT BLOWS UP.
B. Baggott Loses His Life As a Result Of The Accident While I. Goodlet is
 Badly Hurt.

Birmingham. Sept. S.-(Special 1.-The coining mill department of the Brming- ham Powder Comr lny's plant, located about five and half miles from the city. between Boyles and Lewisburg, blew up and burned down about o'clock this morning. B. Baggott, a young man at work in the department, was burned to a crisp in the explosion, while J. Goodlett, aged 50 years, who was near the building at the time, was burned about the body and had leg broken and otherwise ln- Jured. The latter is now in a hospital in the city and while seriously injured, there is hope for his recovery.
 Exactly what caused. the explosion is not known. It is believed that some of the machinery ran hot and ignited the powder. which Tn the coinng department is yet in embroyoic state. There was a big pun and fierce fire broke out. When the employees in other departments could get to the place, the fire had consumed the building. Baggott was burned to a crisp. The same department blew up and was afterwards destroyed by fire month and half back, three men losing their lives at that time. The coining depart ment which was destroyed this morning, had just recently been rebuilt.
 The Birmingham Powder Company is a Northern corporation, the President be- ing in New York. A. Green is manager here. Goodlett has a wife and son al- most grown. Baggott was single.

Temple of Labor.

The Labor Temple Association has leas- ed the four-story building on Twenty-frst Street between Second and Third Ave- nues, formerly occupied by the Birming- ham Commercial Club, to be used by the labor organizations until the new temple is erected. The papers to the lease will be signed later by President P. H. Moore and other officials and directors of the Labor Temple Association. It Is intend- ed to sub-lease the lower part of the building for business purposes and to use the three upper floors for unions. The rooms will be so arranged that there will be a reading room, parlors and billiard rooms There will be a big hall to be used for social purposes when necessary and also for meetings of the larger locals
 It is expected that all the union locals of the city will take advantage of the new building and will become tenants. The work of raising funds for the new temple will be pushed so that the labor organizations can own their building and build it to meet all requirements.
 The move just made in leasing tempo rary quarters will enliven interest in a big labor temple 1t is expected and assist in rushing the work of getting up the necessary funds. The rooms in the leased buildings will be put in shape by October l for use by the unions and others will be sought as tenants.
 It is stated that the big celebration yes- terday, Labor Day, resulted in some ad- diton to the fund for the labor temple.

DEATH IN HUMBLE HOME
GRANDMOTHER AND DAUGHTER
 DEAD IN A DAY.
Greatest Sorrow Added to Poverty of Mrs. Mary Hill at Riverside Park-Another Daughter
 Desperately Ill.

The humble home of Mrs. Mary Hill, a seamstress st Riverside Park, for whom the Song of the Shirt" might well have been sung. was entered yesterday by Death. and before he departed the Reaper had claimed two victims
 Patience McLin, her mother, well named in the Puritanical faith, who, with cour- age and fortitude. had striven until her strength failed; Willie Holton Hill, her daughter, fair daughter of the house, cheer of the family; both of these are dead; both died yesterday and last night the humble home was desolate.
 Mrs. Hills house is in Riverside Park, far to the east of the city. There. upon an idle street, stands the small cottage. As one enters. the path Is choked with weeds. One pushes through. and there Is the gallery. Upon 1t are a dozen friends. They show the way into the kitchen, into which the gallery leads. Here Mrs. Hill is met. A smoky lamp is upon the table It discovers upon the table a loaf of bread and a bottle of preserves upon the floor, the dim and uncertain outline of a girl, Lizzie Hill, 20 years old, bed ridden for months, and dying. She lies upon a small bit of bedding. She utters no word and seems unconscious.
 To the right of her reclining figure are bare walls; then a stove, skillet and two pans. Beyond the stove Is a door and
 
 a cupboard. Empty.
 Such was the first room; low of ceiling bare of wall and comfortless of floor. Then the second room. In this apart ment was a bed, with no mattress, no bed clothes, no chairs.
 In the next the tragedy. Balanced upon the only chairs in the house were two collins; the one containing the grand mother; the other the granddaughter. Plain, black wood coffins, each covered with a poor sheet. The oldest and the youngest of the household. Poverty was hard. This was harder. And this was the tragedy of this humble home. Mrs. Mary Hill, the daughter of one, the mother of the other, told the simple story.
 Mother sewed for us until she was too i'll; she was sent to bed by the doctor on July 4. My daughter had a congestive chill Monday and died today" have na support except from my son, Robert Hill who is employed in the basket factory. We have all sewed for & living; do not know what we shall do now" Mrs. Hill appeared to be 50 years old. Her face was drawn with care and she was poorly clad. Her son. Robert Hill, l is IT years old.
 The daughter, Lizzie Hill, who Is sleep- ing in the room adjacent to the two dead bodies, is nearing the end. Death may en- | ter the humble home again today. She is afflicted with a spinal trouble. The bodies of Mrs. McLin and Willie Holton Hill will be inferred today by | Coroner Tice, and the desolation of Mrs. | Hill, daughter and mother, will be com l pleted.

NEWS OF SELMA
WORK PROGRESSING ON NEW
 BAPTIST CHURCH.
Negro Shoots Another at c Dance Cotton Being Held by the Farmers-Mayor After the
 Wife Beaters.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma. September 8. With the completion of the First Bap- tist church by the first of the new veal Selma will have added to her already creditable collection of handsome edifices one of the prettiest temples of worship in the South.
 The church Is built entirely of gray stone and the style of architecture Is Gothic. Nearly all of the stone work ex- cept the tower is completed and already the edifice presents an exterior that is greatly admired.
 The interior work which has been de- layed on account of the inability of the contractors t. get a car of oak lumber Is now being pushed with all possible rapidity. The entire interior of the church and lecture room will be finished in oak and the pews of the auditorium will be of the same wood Identical in color and design. The ceiling will be of this oak and the trusses and girders will be incased in 1t.
 At this time the attention of a visitor to the building is attracted by the car vers who are at work on the four gar goyles which are to project from the four corners of the tower at height of about eighty feet. These are carved in the us- ual fantastic and grotesque shapes of the fifteenth century architecture when they were supposed to represent the de- mons who were excluded from the sacred precincts: They are nearly seven feet tall base and all and those who are doing the work are artists and receive no small stipend for their skill. The church when completed will have cost about forty thousand dollars and would have cost even more except that E. Lamar an en- thusiastic member of considerable means and much business acumen undertook the contract thereby saving the church the percentage of profit usually made by the contractor.

Two exciting games of indoor baseball were played at the Y. M. c. A. gymna' sium last night. Ivey defeated Johnson by score of 8 to 2, and Hood beat Gel bel Il to 5. Geibel had the game won till the last inning when his pitcher went to pieces and Hoods men batted out seven runs. Errors by Geibel and Que- min were responsible in large measure for the rout.
 Ivey and Alley were pitted against each other in the first game and the honors were easy. Each team got one hit Ivey striking out f1ve men and AL ley nine. Only one more night remains of the league series and the teams are punched. Johnson still having a slight lead. Geibel is then only team that is out of the running.
 Mr. Fry, the physical director will probably arrange several exhibition games between picked teams from the league if a suitable hall can be found. The regular gymnasium work will be- gin soon after the close of the baseball season and prospects are good for the largest classes in the history of the as- sociation.
