EAST LAKE LAND
 CHANGES HANDS
RUGBY LAND AND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY SECURES THE CON. TROLLING INTEREsT--THE DEAL coNsuMMATED YESTERDAY.

The controlling interest of the East Lake Land company has passed into the hands of the Rugby Land and Improve ment company. and new officers of the East Lake Land company have been elect ed Most of the new officers are members of the Rugby company. The two com panies will be practically under the same management but will maintain separate offices. The offices of both companies will be on the sixth floor of the First National building.
 The East Lake Land company owns over 1000 acres in and near Lake Como, and the company was incorporated in 1897 with a capital stock of $200,000 The Rugby company was capitalized at $So,00O and besides controlling Wentworth, near West End, is interested in about POO acres little above East Lake. Improve ments are being pushed to the utmost. but of course it will be matter of time before completed

WALTHOUR WILL
 MAKE GREAT RAGE
HIS CONTEST AGAINST TEN RUM MING HORSES PROMISES TO BE
 AMONG THE MOST INTEREST,"
 ING FEATURES OF STATE FAIR.

Bobby Walthour, the worlds champion pace follower and the only southern boy who has ever met and defeated every cyclist of the world, is to meet on the race track ten of the fastest running horses the Alabama State Fair association can procure next Thursday afternoon for a purse of 5000 a side.
 Because Walthour has defeated all the cycle riders people are inclined to be- lieve that he has a cinch on this race with the runners. walthour may win, for he will probably ride his best, but the horses have an equal chance to pass un- der the wire first, and the cyclist would probably not be very much surprised if they did beat him, for the odds are against him.
 The ten running horses have been se- cured. and as the time approaches the owners are daily practicing the horses so that they may be in the very best con- dition for the race. Learning this Wal
 
 the fair association in Atlanta to allow him to use the race track there twice every day for training purposes. The champion feels that he is up against one of the stiffest propositions ne has ever had In his racing career, and that care- full training is the only thing that will win for him.
 Last week Walthour raced five miles against five running horses at a county fair in Athens, Ga, and he barely defeated them. There was only a narrow margin between the rear wheel of Walthours S cycle and the last horses nose wher the tape was crossed.
 With ten horses and faster ones than those at Athens, Walthour feels he will have a stiff race to put up, and that if he is not in the pink of condition he will fail.
 The motor behind which Walthour will ride Is the biggest in the world, and has succeeded in making a mile in less than a minute. but not with Walthour behind it. The champion has ridden the mile in 1:O7 and this is the worlds record
 Another interesting feature in connec- tion with the race will be Gusse Lawson. known in every part of the globe as the ''Terrible Swede." He is the greatest cycle pacer In the country, and has bet ter control of a motor mactire than any man in the world.
 Walthours motor will arrive in Blrm- ingham Tuesday or Wednesday, and ar engagements have been made to put it on exhibition in Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's big show window. It will attract thou sands, as it Is the first of it's kind ever seen here.

MAN KILLED BY TRAM CAR.
Mule Also Struck by the Car and Had
 to Be Killed.

Bert Hatcher, employed as a chainer In the Piper mines in Bibb county on the Birmingham Mineral road, was instantly killed late Wednesday afternoon by a runaway tram car in the mines. A mule was struck by the same car and had to be killed.
 A number of miners who were near Hatcher when he was struck had a mar row escape from being killed or serious ly wounded by the car. They managed to get out of the way in time, but some did not get off the track until the car was within a few feet of them.
 Hatcher was near the bottom of the mine when he was struck. The car was moving with immense velocity, and it broke nearly every bone in the mans body. The funeral was conducted yes terday and many of the miners attended. The interment was at Antioch, near Gurnee, in Shelby county. The deceased was g years old and leaves a widow.

CATALAN IS A CANDIDATE.
WeII-known Young Attorney Will
 Make Race for Circuit Solicitor.

Frank M. Cahalon, the well known lawyer, is candidate for the office of solicitor of the Circuit Court of Jefferson county. The announcement that Mr. Cahalan will make the race for this posi- ton will be interesting news to his many friends who feel that his chances for winning are strong.
 The position of circuit solicitor is now held by John c. Pugh, who was appoint ed by Governor Jelks when Judge c. w. Ferguson was elevated to the bench of the City Court.
 The recent law enacted by the legisla- ture consolidating the courts of Jefferson county under the name of the Circuit Court did not change the office of soici- tor of the court so that the duties of the position will be much the same as they have always been.
 The election for the position will take place at the same time as that for a number of other county offices-a year from next November.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"A Trip to Chinatown"

The management of Hoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown which comes to the Jeffer- son theatre next Monday matinee and night feel assured that they do not ex- aggerate when they tell the public that their company, this year, is better than any of their former companies. New costumes scenery and stage settings, make this announcement possible. The play itself is so full of wit, humor and delicate kindly satire, that it is proclaimed as one of the best comedies ever produced. MT. Hoyt certainly left a monument of his abilities when he wrote this play and years of presentation has not dimmed It's popularity. Jack Campbell heads the cast. which includes such well known actors as John J. Black, Frank Beamish, F. Kek Schilling, Dan MacCarthy, Hugh Me- Cormick, Miss Sylvia Starr, Miss Maude Parker and Miss Carolyn Walker.

-------s------------ NEGRO IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
John Gibson Is Accused of Disturbing
 Hen Roost.

John Gibson, a negro, was only arrested on suspicion last night, but the prospects arc good for connecting him in some way with the burglary of a hen roost several nights ago.
 John is not suspected because he is deacon, but there is a bullet hole through his leg which it is thought a good sister put there not many nights ago, just be- fore the moon got so bright that it made hen roosts visits with impunity impossl- ble.
 Chief Wier is specially interested in the case. He has an intimation that this ne- gro received the wound at the hand of a negro woman whose feathered tribe was disturbed.
 John was taken under the protecting wing of Policemen Hawkins and Carie- ton until he was landed in the patrol wag- on, in which he was safely carried to tine city jail.

UNITED MINE WORKERS

Peace and harmony once more reign over the coal mining industry. The little wave of discomfort which came floating down from Seoca has vanished into the thin air, and operator and miner are pur- suing the even tenor of their way. The Seloca trouble was probably the only matter of public interest which occupied the time of the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America at their special meeting yesterday. Other mat ters were discussed but details were with held. The board went into session at Il a. m. and remained behind closed doors until 4:45 D. m. 1.-The following persons were present: Ed Flynn, president; B. L. Greer, vice president; J. L. Clemo. secretary and treasurer.
 Adam Stewart of Cardiff, Ala.
 J. R. Kemmemer, Piper.
 E. Sullivan, Belle Ellen.
 w. P. Bynum, Pratt City.
 G. Barbour, Pratt City.
 J. H. Chambers, Blossburg.
 P. R. Murray, Stout's Mountain.
 J. M. Withers Greaves.
 At the conclusion of the meeting the following statement was made regarding the Seloca troubles:
 The board maintains that the men em- ployed by this company should be treat ed on the same basis as the Jefferson and Kimberley miners, but Mr. Stevens voluntarily agreed to pay 2A cents over and above this, with the understanding that the men would load good. clean coal.
 The men at Seloca had been on strike for a few days but returned to work on Saturday last.

DAY OF REUNION
 Is DRAWING NEAR Various Committees Are Now
 Hard At Work GENERAL LAMKlN IS HERE Birmingham Will Have About 25,000 Visitors and Arrangements Must
 Be Made to Accommodate
 This Immense Crowd.
GENERAL LAMKIN IS HERE

The various committees of Camp Hardee are hard at work on the arrangements for the State Reunion of the Alabama Di- vision of the United Confederate Veterans November and 5. and as the time draws nearer the members of the camp show more and more determination to make this the greatest reunion ever held in the state.
 From all over the state there are com ing words of encouragement and promises of large attendance. It seems that the various camps of the three brigades re- alize that this is to be a great occasion, and every veteran who can possibly at tend is making his arrangements.
 Third Brigade.
 Yesterday Adjutant General Lamkin of the third brigade, was in Birmingham and he said that every one the thirty-three camps in that brigade would be well repre- scented at the reunion, and that from Jasper his home. there would be at least 200 veterans. Many of these he said would come in uniform and all would be prepared to take an active part in the programme which was being arranged.
 Veterans from other sections of the state have been here making arrange ments for their respective commands, and all say that the number to attend will be much larger than al any Alabama re- union they have attended.
 Boarding Houses.
 A meeting of the committee to secure boarding houses and rates was held yes- terday and it was decided to open reg ister at the Jefferson County Bank so that all who have rooms or can board can register their names and rates.
 This register will be open for about three weeks, and the names placed on it will be sent to the various camps through out the state so that the veterans may know where to go to get board. Chairman c. F. Enslen, of this committee, hopes that every one who has a room to rent or can furnish board will come to the bank and put their names on the register.
 Indications point to at least 25O0O vis- itors in the city, and there will be diff culty in securing boarding places for them unless every one is willing to take one or more for the time they are in the city.
