The fire originated III an upstairs

owned by the Maryland SmokelAs
Coal Company. The room was occu-
pied Nv Andersop's family, and the
fire is supposed to have resulted from
the explosion of an oil lamp, which
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson were in the
habit Of keeping burning in order to
care for their six months old child.
The building was a frame structure,
and. once afire, burned like finder.
The fourteen occupants were all asleep
when the alarm was given. and before
they were sufficiently aroused to be
conscious of their danger every avenue
of escape was cut off.
Eight jumped from the upper story
and were saved, but all were injured
and two viii probably die. A strong
south wind was blowing and every
possible means to check The flames and
rescne the occupants of the house
proved of no avail.

Grand total 1861, 90.
The governor S reasons for cutting
down the appropriation bill is the fact
that the amount appropriated exceeds
the total revenues of the State by about
a auarter of a million dollars. The
governor states that in his message to
the legislature he advised against un-
dertabing any new buildings III order
that(the State might catch up with
the work already undertaken.
He says Il regret very much that
the Legislature aid not see fit to follow
n Y advice in this particular but pro-
ceeded TO authorize a very large
amount of new buildings and did not
appropriate enough to finish some of
the work Already on hand.

tions for the current biennial period

1T is proper to add that fully half
a Lw.illion dollars of this increase is
due to the large amount of buildings
authorized by the Legislature of 1901
and not appropriated for by that leg

islature, to appropriate sufficient funds

The governor SAYS he regards the new

~necessitv. and no reduction is therefore
made in the appropriation for hat in

Besides cutting down the appro-
ration bill over $3.50, 900, Gov. White
also vetoed House bill 1875. the famous
measure providing for the filling of
vacancies in the county courts, which
so nearly caused a riot in the House

majority overruled the decision of
Speaker Meats, and he retired from
the chair. The governor saws the bill

Work on Railroad Begun.

c. M. Philen. who has charge of a gang of workmen employed In completing the extension of the track of the Western. Railway from Soapstone Creek to june. ton with the Louisville and Nashville track two miles south of the city, said today that the work was begun early thls morning. Six miles of right of way are to be graded and Mir. Philen ex- poets that the task will be completed In sixty days.
 The new extension is to afford the Western Railway of Alabama, now known as the West Point Route. an entrance into Selma over the Louisville and Nash vile Railway bridge across the Alabama River at Selma. At present the West ern track crosses the river six miles above Selma. Only six and a half miles of the extension remain to be completed.
 MT. Philen's grading begins at Soap stone creek. and with the exception of one curve extends in a straight line. to the Louisville and Nashville road at the Ho- gan place two miles south of Selma. Both railways companies are to use the L. 6 Ms track from this junction into Selma.
 A trackIaying gang will closely follow Mr. PhilenTs employees and the new road will doubtless be ready for use within three months.
 MT. Philen said his camp was pleasantly located on Soapstone Creek. He employs one hundred and fifty men and the camp is quite a town. The stables contain one hundred mules.
