EDWARD BUTLER, SR., RETURNS.

James. John and Edward Butler. Jr.,
were at the station to meet their parents
when the train arrived
Edward Butler Sr.. stated emphatically.
shortly after he arrived. that he was done
with politics forever. This Is In direct con-
tradiction OF the report that he was re-

ler's return was timed so that he would be
on hand TO help his son John. who Is Cen
trail Committeeman from Fontana's ward.
When asked II IL was not true that he
had shortened his Texas visit to come TO
the aid OF Fontana. he replied:
II am entirely out OF politics. nearly out
of friends and teetotally out Of money. I
know nothing OF St. Louis politics lately. 1

A Antiadministration Forces Will
Meet at 2T26 Pine Street at
10 O'Clock To Day.
ED BUTLER CLOSE At HAND.
Administration Men Claim They
Will Stand by Their Promises
Made for Good Government
Hughes Has Majority.

The control OF the House OF Delesaes
will be settled at o'clock tomorrow after
noon. when the members meet for the pur-
pose of organizing.
So far as the contest for the speakership
is concerned. there seems to be no question
abou; the success Of the administration
members. The delegates pledged to good
government are In the majority and their
choice for Speaker is William H Hughes,
Delegate from the Tenth Ward. and Daniel
F. Meehan for Speaker pro tenn
The antiadninistration element. headed
by John r Fontana, Speaker OF the former
House. who has the support 81 the Butler

their efforts are OF no avail, for those
pIegded TO the administration declare that
under no circumstances will they betray
their constituents and Mayor Wells

caucus called for 10 O'Clock this morning
name Of F'ontana. but the writing is very
significant.sas IL bears the stamp OF Butler.
The letters have special delivery stamps
The caucus Is called for the purpose OF
getting many members OF the House
TO attend as IS possible. the ultimate OBJ
minIstratlOn force. That IL will fail ts
almost certain. because those delegates who
have already pledged themselves declare
ford TO go back on the promises they have
made. both to the administration and their
cons tittIents.
The delegates who were elected are well
aware OF the fact that the voters OF their
respective wards are watching every move
ment and expect them 10 fulhll their
promises.
The Fontana-Bu -Butler-antiadm administration
element will have their last inning this
morning. Their effort to have Edgar c.
Lakeland. Jr. fail into their game. i'm
provissd for the purpose OF breaking up
the administration forces, has. from all re-
ports. resulted in a dismal disappointment
Now. they will try TO work upon some Of
the administration men. but the latter de
clare they are impregnable. and will not
desert the administration under any cir
cumstances or for any inducements.
So badly are the Fontana-Butler crowd
worked UP that Edward Butler was called
home from Texas. where he went with
MrS. Butler, in the interest of the latter's
health The only hope IS to have the
Boss get some Of the administration
members in line with Fontana. but even
he will have no influence. 50 the adntnis-

tons. and the lead shipment Las tons. sell
ing at a value OF $2.9s4, ,z79-an average OF
400 tons Of zinc and SIS tons Of lead at
an average value OF SIS. .2S7 per week.
The weeks shipment was 324 tons OF zinc
and 1t tons OF lead. and the value was
s4s. .3O4 greater than this average, showing
continued strong demand for both ores
In the face OF this. because the shipment
was a little less than the previous week,
some OF the purchasing agents attempted
during the week 10 lower the price on
lowering the price 30 cents per ton on
Joplin zinc ore, while In CarterY1lle prices
were advanced 80 cents and 81 per ton on
fully many bins Of ore were cut here
The explanation offered Is that prices
have been relatively higher here than at
Carteryille. and the movement was 70 level
the price down. Some buyers are using an
argument that the demand Will be less
ened by the cutting out OF three blocks OF
smelters at each OF two smelling works
OF course, this will cut down the consump-

why II should affect this district when II

NEGRO AYERS PEONAGE WRIT or HABEAS CORPUS GRANTED BLACKMAN. On Allegation That He is Being Held Against His Will-Judge
 Jones VIII Hear Testt-
 mony Thursday.

A writ of habeas corpus was issued yes terday by Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States Court for the Middle Dis trict of Alabama in favor of Layman Blackman. a negro. who is said to be in the custody of A. c. Nixon of Andalusia, labor contractor. for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company.
 The allegations set forth in the applica- ton for the writ are that the negro was fined s and costs for obtaining money under false pretenses by Justice T. R. Robinson of Beat 9. Covington County. It Is averred that the negro was not sen- fenced and without writ or execution of any kind was turned over to Nixon. by whom he Is now being worked in condi- tion of involuntary sefvitude.
 Judge Jones will hear the testimony in the case Thursday.
 District Attorney Warren s. Reese said last night that the proceedings as they now stand are purely civil, the action simply being to have Blackman released by Nixon. He said. however. that it might develop that the negro was being held in peonage by the contractor.
 The case was called to the attention of the District Attorney by a Montgom- cry lawyer. who was appealed to by the negro. MT. Reese sued out the writ.

Killed bx Fallinr slata.

At 1eogusta Mines yesterday afternoon about S9O o'clock. Miles c. Whatley, tim Der boss of the mine. was instantly killed by falling slate and P. c. Gilbert, an Hmploye. was very seriously hurt, his right leg being so badly crushed that it es thought amputation will be necessary. Et seems that the men were replacing old kinber with new and the heavy slate above was. much weaker than they thought and they were caught under the large pile that came down with little warning.
 Whatley was completely covered up by Ehe immense pile, which required two hours hard work to remove, and when taken out was very badly crushed, which showed that death was instantaneous. Gilbert was brought out and carried to khe company's hospital, where he received kreatment.
 Whatley's body was brought to the un- 4eTtaking establishment of Kennedy Brothers. where it was prepared for burial. and af o'clock this morning his remains were shipped to his old home at Dadeville.
 whatley was 2 years old and leaves & widow and three children. He came here about eight months ago from Texas.

FUNERAL or !. II. sTANFIELn
One. of the oldest Citizens of Clantol
 ia Buried.


 Clanton, Aug. A--(special l-Friday af- at Clanton was laid to rest the remains spected citizens. James M. stanfeld. He lacked . few days of U years of age. He was born in Georgia, but had lived the greater part of his life in Alabama. most of which was in what Is now Chiffon County, going from Notasulga in Macon County to that county, soon after the war between the States.
 He was married to a Miss Parker of Thomasvilie. Ala. in 1880. Their happy young married life was disturbed by the cali to arms. and Mfr. stahfield enlisted in the srd Alabama regiment, following the destinies of the Lost Cause until it went down in defeat. He died a mem- Der of Camp John w. A. Sanford.
 He was Past Master Mason, and the last rites were touchingly. lovingly per- formed by the members of his lodge. as- sisted by some visiting brethren. The fu- neral services at his late residence were performed by Rev. J. P. Morgan of the Methodist Protestant Church, of which denomination MT. stanfield had been, for more than e generation. . most faithful and staunch member, having been for several years local preacher in that church.
 He leaves several sisters, three daugh- ters. two sons, six grandchildren to suc- ceed to . heritage of brave, busy, mo- ble. successful life.
 A large concourse of people from all walks of life followed his remains to hist last resting place. Every business house closed it's doors in honor to him.
