GOVERNOR BROWN HERE.
Pennsylvania Official Concluding
 Business Transaction.

Lieutenant Governor w. NJ. Brown of Pennsylvania is in Montgomery at the Exchange Hotel. He is here completing a business transaction with the Mont- gomery Street Railway.
 Eleven years ago he acquired an interest with persons who built and operated the electric car system from Montgomery to Cloverdale, which afterwards developed into the Montgomery Street Railway. He was. often in Montgomery then and is well known here and is popular with a number of Montgomerians.
 The business of Governor Brown is winding up his relations with the Mont gomery Street Railway. He sold his in terest shortly after the road was built to Capt. J. w. Dimmick, but still re- tained some connection with the road. When Captain -Dimmick sold his interest to Richard Tillis. Goyeror Brown still had this connection, and Tn reference to this business he came to Montgomery to con fer with MT. Tillis.
 When seen last night, Governor Brown said that he just had the ragged ends of a business transaction to trim off with Captain Dimmick and MT. Tilis, and de- cided to combine a week of business and rest by coming to Montgomery to ac- complIsh the trimming.
 Governor Brown IS in his forties and has pleasing appearance and address. He said that he was glad to see Mont gomery pushing to the front and eX- pressed himself as delighted with his trip South.

Nashville and the Coal Barons. It is the intention of Tom O'Brien's aggregation to bag at least two of the three games, thus repeating the performance at the opening of the season last year. Frank Smith, the stout pitcher whom Tom Lof- tus has been shadowtng ever since his record with the Coal Barons last year, will be in the box for the Coal Barons in Mondays game. He is easily the pride of all local fans so ar and great confi- dence is placed in his work.
 While there will be great demonstrations here Monday the opening the season 1t is a settled fact that there will not be the least let up until Sunday week, May 8. has been spent and either the Coal Barons or the Black Sox the victor. IL will be the last care of Tom O'Brien's aggregation to pull down victories over the rival Black Sox, and the Sunday opening game in Montgomery Is looked forward to with swelling interest every hour, The local fans feel that the show ing of Montgomery during the exhibition games with the Big League teams far surpasses that of Birmingham and most other teams of the Southern League, But all this is regarded at the same time as a play of fate und will not count much when the teams concerned clash together

APRIL A COOL MONTH.
Fair and Colder Predicted For To
 dav

Qdy.
 The records of the local Weather Btu reau show that this April, so far, has averaged quite cool. In fact, from the 14th to date the temperature has averaged about seven degree below the daily nor nal, with the night temperatures several times approaching close to the frost point.
 Just as there seemed to be little hope for a general warming. there Is prospect of another cool change. fh Yesterdays weather reports show de- cided temperature falls in the middle west, with a light freeze over the Dako- tas. This cold weather was then moving southeastward. precided by rain front" which reached here yesterday evening. While the cold will moderate considerably before it reaches the Gulf States. 1t will probably cause tempera- lures about as low as last week, which were quite low in the forties.
 The cool change had began to be felt late last night, after the thunderstorm but will be felt to a greater extent to. night.
 Fair weather iB expected here today.
