PRESS CLUB MEETING.
Grover Cleveland Invited to Banquet,
 But Is Unable to Attend.

There will be meeting of the Brmng- ham Press club in the city hall building this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock to talk over and arrange further plans for the annual banquet which is to be given at the Nor ris hotel on November a.
 The meeting time has been changed from o'clock to 4:30 o'clock in order to allow the members to attend the races at the fair grounds when Dan Patch will go against the worlds record.
 An invitation had been extended to Grover Cleveland to be present at the banquet, and yesterday Mayor Drennen sent a telegram in the name of the city, asking that the invitation be accepted and that the distinguished statesman be the guest of the city. A letter was received from MT. Cleveland yesterday afternoon acknowledging the invitation, but saying 1t would be impossible for him to accept as he had a previous engagement

NEGRO MORRIAGES
 ON THE INCREASE
DURING THE PAST WEEK TWENTY MARRIAGE LICENSES DAILY HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO COL CRED APPLICANTS.

The operation of the new vagrancy law, among other good results achieved, seems to have stirred Cupid to unusual activity among the colored population
 During the past week there has been an average of twenty marriage licenses issued daily to negroes The regular aver age at the probate office is about three per day, so that the record of the past seven days shows as many issued each day as were formerly issued each week.
 It seems to be a great boon for colored preachers. One expounder of the gospel alone carried away three licenses yester- day and it was of course presumed that he would have the honor of performing the ceremonies and draw his fee A negro said yesterday that 1t was easier to scrape up a dollar and half and get marriage license than it was to be taken up before Judge Greens court for yagrancy.
 The negroes seem to know well the in- tricacies of securing a marriage license which probably comes from long practice peetive groom to send a friend to get the license than it is to go in person.
 The law provides thst any person can procure a marriage license for a friend the only thing required of him being that he swear that the groom Is over twenty years old and that the bride is over eight cen. On the other hand if groom goes for a license his word alone will not sat sfy the requirements of the law, but he must take q witness with him.
 The cause of this legal provision is not stated but it is presumed that the jaw takes it for granted that man about to get married is excited and Is more liable more conservative friends.

MARRISETTE IS
 NOW BEING TRIED
DEFENDANT, WHO IS CHARGED WITH MURDER, WAS FOR MANY YEARS EMPLOYED BY THE SOUTHERN CLUB.

Alex Morrisette, negro, is on trial in the criminal court, charged with the murder of Richard Mason, at Sayreton, about two years ago.
 The trial will be of considerable inter- est. in view of the fact that the defend- ant is so well known in Birmingham. He was for many years employed at the Southern club. and the members of this organization thought highly of him.
 At the time of the killing. Morrisette was running a store at Sayreton. The evidence thus far seems to show that Morrisette was a brother-in-law of Rich ard Mason, the man he killed. Morrisette was standing in front of his store cut ting some boneless ham, when Mason came by with some pick handles and shovels on his shoulder Morrisette things from him, and a quarrel ensued in which Mason used one of the pick handles as weapon and Morrisette used the knife with which he had been cutting ham. Mason was so badly wounded in the affray that he died with in twenty-five or thirty minutes.
 Several prominent members of the Southern club and others testified to among them being Dr. l.. c. Morris.
 The taking of testimony will probably be completed this morning.

DAN PATCH, 1:5eM.

hand again. The attempt 10 break the record was such a great race that it has become the talk of Birmingham, and if has aroused an interest which should bring hundreds more to the track this afternoon.
 Dan Patch has the greatest record of any race horse ever born. The Cincinnati En- authorities in the country, said yesterday:
 'When Dan Patch paces his second mile at Birmingham tomorrow afternoon he will probably complete his 1903 campaign during which he has hung up a new worlds average which will last for many years. The unbeaten son of Joe Patchen paced eleven miles over mile tracks in public during his brief but brilliant sea- son, and crossed the eastern part of the continent twice to do it. The average time for the eleven miles made over courses from Minneapolis to Hartford and from Columbus to Memphis was 1:59 4-11. or within fraction of a second of the mile made by Star Pointer, which held as a worlds record for so many years

ARE EAGER TO GUST
 RUDOpLH WEGELIN
BESSEMER ALDERMEN PROCURE WRIT COMPELLING FELLOW MEMBER TO SHOW BY WHAT RIGHT HE HOLDS OFFICE.

An interesting step in the election rum pus that has been agitating the people of Bessemer for several weeks was the issuing of quo warranto yesterday by Judge C. w. Ferguson or the city court directing Rudolph Wegelin to appear in court on November 19 and show cause why he should not be busted from the po- sition of alderman which he claims to hold.
 The relators asking for the writ of quo warranto were w. W. Hollingsworth, w. G. Hurd, J. W. Norwood and Oscar Ran dale, who are also aldermen of Bessemer.
 The plaintiffs complained of the defen- dant. Rudolph Wegelin, that at regu- lar meeting of the board of mayor and aldermen of the city of Bessemer held in the said city on the 3rd day of Novem- ber, 1903, the said Rudolph Wegelin did, unlawfully and without right. usurp, hold and exercise the office of alderman of the city of Bessemer. claiming to be an al- derman from the fourth ward of said city of Bessemer, and that the said Rudolph Wegein does still claim said office and unlawfully and without right, does usurp, hold and exercise the liberties and fran chises of the office of alderman of the city of Bessemer in violation of the char ter of said city and of the laws of the state of Alabama.
 It is further prayed that writ of quo warranto be issued, causing the defendant to appear in court and show by what right or warrant he holds the position of alderman and that judgment be rendered against the said defendant busting him from said office and for the costs of the proceeding.

MAN FALLS FROM
 LADDER AND DIES A. K. Hummer Loses His Life
 by Rope Breaking FELLOW WORKMAN ESCAPE Hummer and Barnes Were Painting Sign-Latter Held to End of
 Rope and Was Rescued
 By Bremen.
FELLOW WORKMAN ESCAPE

By the breaking of a rope which held the ladder on which they were working A. K. Plummer fell forty-fve feet yes terday afternoon about 4;3O o'clock and later died from his injuries, and Lee L. Barnes, his partner, had to be taken from very insecure hold by the aerial truck of the fire department.
 The two men were painting sign on the building of the Elk Vinegar company on Powell avenue and Twentieth street, and were about 45 feet from the ground. They were on a ladder which was hung between two ropes and the rope at one end broke. dropping that end of the lad der and throwing .the two men towards the ground. Hummer was unable to catch hold of anything as he fell and was badly mangled when he struck the ground. Barnes was more fortunate and grasped the end of a rope to which he held for thirty minutes. unable to either pull himself up or to get foothold to relieve the strain on his arms.
 Bremen to the Rescue.
 Chief Mullin was teephoned for and he came and superintended in person the rescue of Barnes by means of the aerial truck, which went to the place as if it were attending a fire. When Barnes was finally rescued he was so weak that he would have been able to hold his place only a few moments longer.
 Hummer was taken to the Hillman hos pital in Green & Co.'S ambulance, and died there about o'clock. The remains were removed to his residence 1524 Third avenue and the funeral services will take place from there this afternoon.
 Hummer was about 27 years old and leaves a wife and three children. He had been in the city for some time, and was well thought of among his companions.
 Barnes Statement.
 Barnes. after he reached the ground, said:
 Hummer was in the center of the ladder and it was on the left l had hold of small rope and was preparing to step around to the other side when the rope broke. It threw Hummer to the ground, and l lost by brush and bucket but managed to catch hold of the rope with my other hand in time to save my self If 1 had been forced to stay on that rope another minute I believe my strength would have given out and I would have fallen. l am not hurt with the exception of the terrible strain on my arms and hands,"

 Thus 1t will be seen that Dan Patch has done the greatest work of any race horse in the world, and if he beats the record here this afternoon, he will com plete a season in which he has broken every worlds record in which 1t was possible for him to start.
 Myron McHenry his driver said last night:
 T feel confident that we will get the record this afternoon, if the weather is good. The track is just right now, and unless 1t rains tomorrow it will be just the kind that Dan likes A little cushion will be put on it this morning, and by this afternoon 1t should be at least two seconds faster than on Friday. With the faster track no wind and a warm day, I would not be surprised to see Dan pass the mile in two minutes flat Of course l do not mean to say he will do it. but 1 have such confidence in the horse that I would not be surprised, and l do not think that a horseman any where in the country would be sur prised."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-11-10

DRoMPTLY at o'clock this after
 noon Dan Patch, 156h, will go against the worlds mile record on a half mile track at the fair grodnds, and every indication points to his nwS- ing the mile in less than 2:os1a. the record now held by Prince Alert.
 As is well known Dan Patch made the mile under adverse conditions last Fri day afternoon in 2;04A, which was only three-fourths of a second lower than the worlds record which was made in ex- cellent weather, on fast track and with every condition favorable.
 At an early hour this morning 1t look ed as if the weather would be excellent today. It was warmer and warm weather is essential to fast horse racing. the sky was perfectly clear and there was little or no wind If these indications develop into day such as yesterday there is lie- tie doubt in any ones mind that the rec ord will be lowered.
 Regular Racing Programme.
 A programme, including a free for all trot and a running race, will be pulled off this afternoon. The managers, how ever wish the fact emphasized that Dan will start promptly at 8 o'clock
 The indications for the weather are ex- cellent, and these for a large crowd are none the less brilliant About 1000 saw the attempt Friday and everything points to every one of that number being on

DisPENsARY WINS.
Hard Battle Fought In PeII City
 Against Saloons.

Alexander City, November 9-(special. } Alexander City has today won a de- cisive victory for a dispensary. The hottest fight in the history of the town is over. 2s3 votes having been cast, with majority of nineteen for the dIspen- sary. The whisky element fought the fight of their lives, and every inch of ground was contested to the last.
 The town was flooded with whisky until the police captured seven large jugs. nearly full. Up to this time drunken men reeled on every corner, but the capture stayed the further onslaught and the tide of fortune soon began to change,
