DATE OF ANNUAL
 MEETING CHANGED
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL HOLD ITS REGULAR ANNUAL AFFAIR ON MAY 8, INSTEAD OF ON FIRST FRIDAY.

The annual meeting of the Commercial club has been postponed from Frlday' May 1, to Friday afternoon May in order to allow several members of the club to present who will be at St. Louis on the regular date. The decision was reached al a meeting of the board of directors of the club held yesterday afternoon.
 Capt. Frank Y Anderson stated that he had a plan to suggest for having an exhibit at St. Louis and that he could not be in the city on May 1. He asked that the meeting be postponed and several other members made the same request, saying they would be in St. Louis.
 At the annual meeting Captain Anderson will present his plan, and State Geologist Eugene A. Smith will appear to urge that this county have a suitable mineral ex- hibit. At the meeting a committee will probably be appointed to aid in rasing the funds for the Alabama exhibit, and to push the matter in every way possible.
 Men of this district have realized that not to have mineral Alabama represented by an excellent exhibit at St. Louis would mean loss which 1t would be almost impossible to estimate, They state that the district is In better condition now than ever before and that Its mineral re- sources are more the topic of conversation than at any previous time, therefore, many thousand people will go to St. Louis expecting to see an exhibit from Jefferson county.

JURY IN PARRISH
 CASE STILL OUT
OPINION IS THERE WILL BE MIS- TRIAL-lT IS PROBABLE THAT THE JURY WILL BE OUT SOME TIME YET.

The jury in the Hollis B. Parrish case has not reached a verdict
 The jurymen retired about 10 o'clock last night and up to that time could not agree.
 Parrish was tried for the murder of George S. Leonard, and plea of insanity was made by the defendant. The trial consumed an entire week, and Judge Dan A. Greene delivered his charge at 9.30 o'clock Thursday morning. The jury has been out nearly forty hours now.
 About 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning the jurymen announced to the judge that they had been unable to agree. The judge asked if any further instructions were desired The reply was no. It was then stated that the disagreement was not on law questions but as to facts
 The judge told the jury as this was the case he could not aid 1t In deciding. He asked that the jury again retire and con- slider. .s. The general opinion now is that the jury will not reach an agreement and that mistrial will result. It Is probable that the jurymen will be out for some time, even If an agreement cannot be reached.

 Captain Weir, acting chief of police, went out to the place and started an in- vestigation which resulted in locating the mother of the infant. She was told if she did not provide for the child she would be arrested on a charge of deser- tion. She denied that the baby was hers and was given until this morning to de- eide whether she would be arrested or would take the baby
 The child was carried to the Mercy Home, where it will be provided for un- til some other arrangements can be made

TRAIN HELD UP AND
 ROBBED OF 5000
BURLINGTON COACH LooTED IN
 LINCOLN, NEB.-THIS IS THIRD ROBBERY OF THE KIND WITHIN
 A YEAR-WoMAN GAVE ALARM.

Lincoln, Neb., April 24.-Passengers on a Burlington train were held up and rob- bed of $1000 early this morning as the train was leaving the Burlington union station in Lincoln. The train has been robbed three times within hundred miles of Lincoln.
 The robbery last fall netted $50,O00 to the men who did the work, and no trace of them has ever been found. The work this morning was accomplished mostly while the passengers from branch lines were in the depot awaiting the arrival of transcontinental trains. Many of the passengers in the depot were asleep and did not know they had been robbed until aroused by the noise of the train pulling into the station.
 The presence of the robbers was first discovered by woman. She screamed and the people gathered around her. In- vestigation proved a majority of them had been robbed. The confusion permit ted the robbers to escape. Later they made their presence known on board an immigrant sleeper, where the conductor and porter, together with the passengers, were horded into one end of the car and a search instituted by one man while the others held the crowd back. They left the train between Lincoln and Milford.

DEFENSE CLOSES
 IN HOWARD CASE
N. H. WITHERsPooN, YoUTsEYs
 5RoTHER-IN-LAW, DID NOT TEs- TIFY AS WAS EXPECTED-cAsE
 GOES TO JURY IN A FEW DAYS.

Frankfort, Ky, April 24-In the trial of James Howard today Dan Vaughan testified that he was sick In bed on the day that Goebel was killed, and was not on the street at all This was a hard blow to the defense as Howard In his testimony told of seeing Vaughan on the street just before Goebel was shot. An other witness for the defense said he saw Vaughan on that day and pointed him out to Howard
 The defense closed its direct evidence at the morning session and the remainder of the day was devoted to rebuttal tes- timony.
 The remainder of the evidence will be heard tomorrow and the case will go to the jury Tuesday or Wednesday. Twenty five or thirty witnesses were heard today. N. H. Witherspoon, Youtsey's brother-in- law, did not respond when called The failure of Mrs. Youtsey to testify prob ably accounted for his absence. Robert Triplett and Daniel Vaughan were prob ably the most important witnesses of the day.
 Triplett corroborated Hotel Keeper Pence, who swore that Howard was not in his office when the news came that Goebel was killed.
 The investigation into the alleged rifiing of United States mail either here or elsewhere, resulted today in the arrival here of Postoffice Inspectors Bailey of Philadelphia and xile of Louisville who will assist Inspector Craighead of Cin- cinnat who is already here. They are working on the complaint which is said to have been filed by Postmaster L. F. Sinclair of Georgetown.

RRADsT7EET's REVIEW.

New York, April 24.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Trade and industry progresses we'll de- spite drawbacks in the shape of numer- ous labor troubles and cool, backward weather conditions in some sections. Re- tail trade, as a whole, is fair. Collec- tions continue to slowly but steadily im- prove. Manufacturing industry was never so active, except perhaps, in the textile trades, where few labor troubles limit cotton goods production, but in iron and steel lumber, shoe manufacturing ma chinery and a multitude of other lines, production is close to the maximum. Railroad earnings continue large
 The shut down of northwestern flour mills proved to be only temporary, and the point sought, lower rates for the pro- duct, has evidently been gained, judging from the increased outgo of flour from nearly all shipping centers.
 With the natural lull In wool, the trade has come to a standstill in this branch, but it is worth noting that a fair volume of orders for fall delivery has already been booked, and the only backwardness noted Is In heavyweight woolens.
 The line of demarcation between crude and finished forms of iron and steel has become distinct this week. Pig iron has unquestionably eased in price and buyers are backward evidently hoping for fur ther concessions while the latter part of the years requirements are reported still unplaced. Against the softening in pig iron, however, Is to be noted the strength of steel and finished products in nearly all lines. Steel billets and sheets are very scarce. Much new work has to be postponed of account of inability to get supplies. Some rail mills are reported changing over to turn billets. Foreign steel is active at eastern markets, while import ed iron Is In slack demand. The demand for structural material is reported undi- mfnished. despite the uneasiness in labor circles. The volume or new work offered and projected is heavy, and this with the demand from other sources, renders some authorities doubtful as to whether the weakness In pig iron will or can spread to the finished forms.
 The effect of the present high prices of cotton on the manufacturing branch Is not entirely favorable. Buyers of cotton goods are holding back and are very slow to commit themselves. Raw wool, while dull, is rather firmer in tone and advices from preliminary markets are that the new crop will be held at from 1 to 2 cents pound above last seasons opening quotations. Dress woolens are in good sale, but mems wear and heavy weight goods are rather backward. Grocery mar kets have been active this week, the leader therein being sugar, which con tinues its advance from the low point reached some weeks ago. The advance of the season has weakened prices of butter and lard. Hog products, however, are slightly lower.
 Business failures in the United States for the week number 152 against 160 last week. 1S1 in the same week of 1902 124 in 1901, 1S2 in 1900 and 1S4 in 1899 Cana dian failures for the week number 13 against IS last week and 20 in the week a year ago.

TOO MANY BEGGARs.
Judge Let Smith Off on Promise to
 Leave City.

The arrest of N. W. Smith on a charge of begging will probably mean that all the beggars must leave Birmingham, and that at once. Judge Feagin made Smith promise to leave the city. and on that promise mol pressed the case against him. The judge, however. took occasion to state that there are too many beggars on the streets and that he thought it would be good idea if the policemen would notify them that 1t was time to move to the next city and work that for a while.
 There Is a city ordinance against beg ging. and several times a show has been made of enforcing it, but 1t was never carried further than a threat
