 Colones Hamilton will examine the pa pers and make a report to the Governor. The subjequent couse the contest will take will depend upon the report made by Colonel Hamilton, who Is a well-known lawyer of Greenville.

CHILD BURNED rEaRIB1Y.
Little Joe Moses Fell in Fire of Tene.
 mAnt H0Naa

Joseph Moses, the 3-year-old son of Mike Moses. proprietor of an eating stand and the most prominent of the Syrian colo nists of Montgomery, while playing in the Syrian tenement house at the foot of Jef- ferson Street, caught fire yesterday morn- ing between and 10 o'clock and received injuries which may prove fatal
 At an early hour this morning. the child was resting easily and had a good nights rest.
 The accident occurred in the front room Of the tenement house. which is occupied by the Moses family No one was in the room at the timc with the exception of the victim of the accident and his sister, little girl about year older. It is supposed that the little fellow was play Ing foo near the fire, burning in the room. His dress ignited and in a few mo- ments. he was suffering awful agony. Piercing ShTtekS went up from the throat of the child. The sister, aWestricken was powerless to aid him.
 M. B. Huff, matchmaker, was in an adjoining room, repairing a clock Hear ing. the. shrieks he rushed into the room and seizing the child ran to the back porch. where with the aid of d negro ser want in whose charge, the children were left, the flames were extinguished. The parents of the little boy, who were up town at their business, were notified. A doctor was hurriedly summoned.
 From head to toe the front of the body of, little Joe Moses is burned and on his back there are also several ugly places. For hours the child suffered, but finally fell asleep, and Is now resting easily, is in a critical condition, but may re- cover. He will probably be removed to- day to St. Margarets Hospital from the tenement house.

THOSENEW PATROLMEN
THEY MAY GO TO WORK NEXT
 MONDAY.
Chief Gerald lleclines to Make Public List of Eligibles for Exami- | nation by the City
 Physician. -

The ten new policemen to be added to the Montgomery Police force will prob ably be examned and be placed in the service by Monday.
 The men appointed by Police Chief Ger. aid will have to undergo a thorough and very rigid examination at the hands of the City Physician. If they are in good physical condition, they win then be ex- amined by the Committee on Police of the City Council. This examination will not be hard to stand. The requirements are that patrolmen must be American citizens, must be able to read and write, tell the time of day. etc.
 The names of the men to be examined for eligibility to the force have not been made public by Chief Gerald.
 The resolution passed by the City Coun' ell, adding ten patrolmen to the force. suggested the disposition of the men as follows: Six mounted men--four at night and two fin the day, the other four to be
 Chief Gerald says he has not decided what disposition he will make of the new men. 2.
 It is probable that some of the present police force will be promoted from pa- trolmen to mounted police and that the new men will all be initiated into the po- lice business as patrolmen., This, how ever is only a ,supposition, having no of- ficial character as Its foundation.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
"Sherlock Holmes" by MT. Keicey
 and Miss Shannon.

and Miss Shannon.
 The one fault to find with Sherlock Holmes" produced at the Montgomery Theatre last night, Is the scant oppor- tunity given that charming actress, Elf fie Shannon.
 In the eternal fitness of things. the lme-light would not continually play upon Herbert Kelcey while his fair and talented co-laborer was banished to the wilderness behind the scenes. In the rare the stage. vision of blonde loveliness, the audience would give 8 sigh of pleas ure and sit up to enjoy itself
 The little woman had but few mo- ments before the footlights but she crowd ed into those few moments a realistic play of emotions as the unhappy Alice Falkner, that no actress of recent years has excelled on the local stage =.
 Miss Shannon's gifts and talents He mostly in emotional work. She has the primary requisite of @ great actress, the something which, for want of better name is called magnetism, and then she has a queer little wavery voice in mos ments of stress which seem to tell of ocean tears and the drawn face and doop- ing mouth reflects unusual suffering:
 The portrayal of the great detective is the best piece of work Mir. Kelcey has done. MT Kelcey always wore his clothes well and he never failed to make effective use of his fine physique. In Sherlock Holmes" he gets above and beyond this. ne SuOW9 III tLllS kldI Lc ib dCtVI Oh great merit. He made a masterful, im- pressive figure, as the great Baker Street deductionist. circumventing the low cum ming of the desperate criminals. He did the part with the proper amount of res serve. And then he smoked naturally and without effort. It made no difference whether he held cigar or a pipe or a cigarette, Kelcey made the detective true to life in the tobacco line.
 All in all, MT. Kelcey was the Sherlock Holmes that Conan Doyle drew. Those who made the detectives acquaintance and learned to admire him, approved the stage Holmes of last night. MT. Kelcey's enunciation. his clearness of utterance fs to be prais l and commended.
 The electrician of the "SherlocE Holmes" Company Is an important per sonage. He is also a busy individual One could fancy throughout the play thS electrician standing faithfully at thS 1 switch. The lights were played for al | they were worth. Not only was great de. pendence placed upon the lights, but the play could not go on without creepy twiriy music.
 The company was adequate. It cannot | be said to have been better than Mir. Kel. cey and Miss Shannon's support of last year. A few changes have been made but the general standard has not been | raised.
 The audience was large and apprecia. I tive.
