WOMAN'S INFANT DIES
 ON THE A. c, S. TRAIN
Mrs. Charles Shaver Reaches Brminq- ham With Dead Babe In Her
 Arms-Pathetlc Story.

Mrs. Charles Shaver of Monteagle, Tenn, arrived in the city from Chatta- nooga yesterday morning over the Ala bama Great Southern with her dead baby In her arms Lige Loy met the train on its arrival with a casket for the child's re- mains.
 The incident relative to the sad occur renee throws some light on the pathetic side of railway travel. It appears that Mrs. Shaver, with her sick baby, arrived at Chattanooga on Monday night and re- mained all night in the station there re- fusing preferred assistance. She had only money enough to carry her to Bir- mingham, where she expected to meet her husband and was on her way to her home at Cardiff, about 20 miles this side or Chattanooga, when the baby died Conductor Stone telegraphed to Station Master Meglemry to wire Mir. Shaver at Cardiff of the death of the infant, and afterwards went through the train and made up purse of $500 for the woman to enable her to reach Cardiff in the event her husband not being at Birmingham
 Her husband, however, was at the sta tion on the arrival of the train and Ieft with his wife and the remains for Cardiff yesterday afternoon. Several traveling men on the train spoke in highly compli- mentary terms of Conductor Stone. They said his kindness and consideration did much to alleviate the very natural dis tress of the woman.

DOCTORS MEET IN ATLANTA.
Trl-state Medical Society Begins It's
 Annual Convention.

Atlanta, October 13.-The fifteenth an- nual meeting of the Tri-State Medical Society began its sessions here today. The morning attendance was small, but later trains brought the afternoon at- tendance to about 150 from the states of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The physicians were welcomed by Mayor Evan P. Howell. and the programme was devoted to a large number of papers on technical subjects. During the day pa pers were presented by Doctors G. E. Petty of Memphis, Marion M. Hull of Atlanta, J. B. Murfree of Murfreesboro, Tenn, J. M. Johnson of Chattanooga. J. A. Simpson of Glen Mary, Tenn, Seal Harris of Union Springs, Ala, w. D. Travis of Covington, Ga., L. w. Johnson of Tuskeegee, Ala, S. Kirkpatrick, Sel- ma, Ala, T. A. Casey, Birmingham, Ala, M. Goltman, Memphis W. G. Harrison, Talladega, Ala, and Raymond Wallace of Chattanooga.
 The members of the society were en- tertained at the horse show tonight.
 An important question to come before the society on Thursday will be the en- larging of the society to include all the southeastern, if not all the southern states.
 According to the opinion of several of the officers, there will be no opposition to this movement.

SELMA,
Fall Theatrical Festival Will Be Sue
 sess-Negro Has Hard Head.

Selma, October 13.-Special.-Th sec- held on the. streets instead of an enclosure as last year, owing to the inability of the heavy wagons to get on the lot which is very sandy. The city council at it's meeting last night unanimously agreed to grant the use of the streets around the court house for this purpose and as the affair will be open without any enclosure the visitors to Selma may expect a splen- did event. The management today re- ceived confirmation of the contract made with the Gaskill-Mundy Levitt company to furnish the attractions the company coming to Selma with one stop after showing in Jacksonville, Fla. While the festival is given for the benefit of the Confederate veterans 1t has the hearty cooperation of the citizens, a substantial sum having been raised with which to defray the advertising expenses.
 Yesterday afternoon Dan Byrd. a negro employe of the Schuh-Miller Lumber com pany had somewhat remarkable escape from death. He was standing under a cable near the company's plant used in hoisting logs from the river, when a link Of big chain that holds the block through which the cable runs. broke, al- lowing the heavy cable to fall heavily on the negro's head. He was felled to the earth like beef being slaughtered and his companions hastened to his side. ex- pecting to find him dead. After a few minutes inconsistencies, however. he sat up and was able to be moved to his house He is walking about today. The cable weighed several hundred pounds and had It hit the negro any were but on his head It would probably have killed him.

CLAIM AGENT IS
 IN COUNTY JAIL
WATSON, WHO WAS ARRESTED IN SELMA MONDAY, WAS BROUGHT HERE YESTERDAY-cHARGED WITH ENTERTAINMENT.

Clifford H. Watson, the youthful claim agent of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, who was arrested on Monday in Selma, was brought to Birm- ingham yesterday and lodged in the county jail. Embezzlement of about $1O0 is the charge set against him. Watson, acting under the instruction of his attor- ney, absolutely refused to make any. statement. Officers of the Tennessee com- pany are equally as reticent, Treasurer Vail declining to make any statement whatsoever.
 Watson is very boyish-looKng in ap- pearance. but seems to ne perfectly con- fident he will come clear. He does not know whether his relations know of lis predicament or not. but stated he ha | one brother in Montgomery and another| in Annston.

POSTOFFICE BUSINESS
 SHOWS LARGE INCREASE

Postmaster J. ". Hughes has just made public his complete report of the business done at the Birmingham postoffice during the quarter ending September sO and some of the figures are interesting.
 The total receipts of the office for the months of July, August and September were s4S7eO.eO which is a large increase over the receipts for the same quarter last year.
 The report shows that s2S,252.sS was paid out to rural carriers during the quarter. These carriers for the whole state are paid through the Birmingham office and the increase is large from one quarter to another All the money that is paid to them is like new money" coming to the state from month to month and since most of the carriers live in the country the money is well distributed.

BIRMINGHAM PARTY
 VISITS CINCINNATI
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE JEFFERSON COUNTY SEWERAGE COMMISSION TO 1NsPEcT,PLANT FOR DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.

Several representatives of the Jefferson County Sanitary commission, city off cials and others have gone to Cincinnati to inspect that eitys plant for the dis- posal of sewage.
 There were included in the party Major F. Y. Anderson, president of the commis- sion; T H. Moulton, R. B. Smyer, sec retary of the commission, Chambers Me- Adory, pr. J. S. Gillespy, Mayor w. M. Drennen and City Engineer Julian Ken drick
 They will make thorough inspection of the plant Cincinnati has and will be absent from the city for several days.
 It was deemed advisable to make this trip in view of the fact that when the present Jefferson county sewer is com pleted, some provision will have to be made for the disposition of the sewage of the city and the commission is eager to make use of only the most modern and approved methods.

WILL GO TO TUSCALOOSA.
Former Birmingham Woman Brought
 From Arkansas to Alabama.

Yesterday morning two Red Cross nurses brought an insane woman, named Louise Marshall, from Little Rock to this city. The woman left Birmingham about a year ago and went to Arkansas, and there became insane. When it was known she was from Birmingham Chief Wier was notified that all expenses would have to be borne by them if they sent her back.
 The nurses now demand that their ex- penses be paid by the city. The police do not see how the city can be held liable. Captain Hagood had the woman put In the city prison and yesterday her relatives came and took her home. Before night the woman was returned to the jail as she became so violent that her friends could not control her. She will be sent to Tus- caloosa to the state asylum today.

VITAL FORGE
Is crushed by Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening. undermin- ing troubles, which mankind is heir to is hemorrhoids or piles. The victim is care less and neglectful of the disease at first because the pain is slight and the bleeding may only occur occasionally, or he may be reassured by the occasional disappearance of the symptoms. And yet if at the very start he had found rational remedy to soothe the inflama- ton, he would probably never have had a return of this irritating malady.
 Piles may develop at any season of the year, and at almost any age of the vic- time; the abuse of cathartics often causes this dread trouble, and a period arrives when the dread of pain at stool becomes so great that the sufferer begins to rie- glect the calls of nature, and the bowels are either forced to retain the feces or are only partially cleared. on account of the suffering attendant upon a thorough movement
 Before you reach this stage use a rem edy which removes the cause, thereby eradicating the disease, and that is the Pyramid Pile Cure. which is sold by all druggists at fifty cents a package; it Is in the form of a suppository, is applied directly to the parts affected and brings about complete cure, quickly and pain lessly. A valuable little book on the cause and cure of piles is published by the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, and we advise every sufferer to send for copy of it.
 People who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the instant relief experienced from the first applica- tion Another important advantage is the fact that any one can use the remedy without detention from business or in- reference with daily occupation.
 q feel it my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of Piles, I am entirely cured. thanks to this remedy Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady, 156 Whitman St., Cleveland, Ohio"

MERCHANTS EXCHANGE.
No Friction Between 1t and the Clerks
 Union.

The regular monthly meeting of the Merchants Exchange took place last night at the Hillman hotel. Matters relative to the mercantile interests of Birmingham were discussed in a general way.
 Just prior to the adjournment of the meeting a committee from the Retail Clerks Union waited upon the merchants regarding the proposition affecting the hours of closing and holidays. It is said there Is no friction between the two or ganizations. Just what the merchants will do Is not known but 1t Is understood that the matter will be settled in such a way as to be satisfactory to all parties concerned.
