An Eastern paper has recently COM
piled list Of the cx-United States
Senators who are holding Federal
Offices. The list is long one, and
shows that the Senate is careful to
maintain its "dignity" by providing
piul1s for its dead timber, possibly
on the ground thatit would be humili-
ating for q former member Of that
august body to stoop to honest labor.

POULTRY AND STOCK DEPART MENTs PROMISE TO HAVE UNI USUALLY FINE ExHlBITS-MR. kRERs WILL WORK FOR IT.

The various managers of departments of the state fair which is to be given October 15 are getting the exhibits ready. and by the time the gates are thrown open they expect to have everything ready for one of the best fairs given in recent years.
 H. J. McCafferty is arranging his poul- try exhibit and promises to make this the best ever given at any southern fair. He has received letters asking for space in his department, and he states that the interest taken this year by poultry breed CTS is much greater than ever before.
 Dr. French, who has charge of the cattle and stock exhibit has written number of the best breeders and urged that they send in their entries early. He expects a large number of exhibits.
 The premium list of the fair will be made out in short time. The old list is being revised and improved wherever that was possible. President Krebs leaves this week for South Alabama cities to work up interest in the fair.

MINERS PROVISIONS
 RUINED BY KEROSENE
Carload of Food Was Being Sent to Strikers-Destruction Seems to
 Have Been Wanton.

What is claimed by the officials of the mine workers to have been a dastardly outrage was practiced on them at Vir- ginia City. A whole car load of provi- sions, valued at upwards of s250. was de- stroyed by being saturated by kerosene.
 The miners at the Virginia City mines have been out on a st-ike for some months and the district officers have been providing for them ard sending pro- visions to them as occaslan required When the last lot of goods were rent. the agent at VI 'ginia City reported their re- ceipt in go11 conditisn. Soon afterwa,d. and before they were accepted by the consignees, 1t was found that some enc had poured ks,osene cil over them. C'f course those to whom they were sent re- fused to accept them. and the less will fall on the railroad company. The iis- trict officer immediately sent duplie sis consignment.
 They say short interview with the person who poured the oil on the provi- sions would be appreciated by them.

ACCIDENT TO LITTLE GIRL.
Elizabeth Young, 4 Years Old, Loses
 Her Right Thimb.

A very peculiar accident occurred at the residence of William Vaughan at 715 Twenty eighth street, south, few days ago. Mrs. Sallie Young, sister of Mrs. Vaughan, is making a visit in Birming- ham with her little daughter Elizabeth, who Is four years old. The little girl was playing about the dining room with MT. vaughan's young son. In running about the room the littles ones ran to the fire place and in some manner the girl grabbed the mantle-shelf, which top pied and fell and in some unaccountable way caught her finger between the fall ing slab of marble and the hearth, cut ting off her right thumb. Her mother at once took her to the Hillman hospital. where the wound was dressed and Miss Elizabeth is once again running around as happy and full of play as ever.

STANDARD OIL GO.
 SAID TO CONTROL
VIRGINIA-cAROLlNA CHEMICAL co. BELIEVED TO HAVE PASSED TO THE ROCKEFELLER coRPoR. ATloN-LARGE B'HAM PLANT.

A dispatch from New York on Friday is to the effect that the Standard Oil interests have secured control of the plants of the Virginia Carolina Chemical company. This will be of interest here for one of the largest plants of that com pany, the Birmingham Fertilizer Works, is located at East Birmingham.
 The correspondent says:
 By the purchase of SIP, 00o 600 par value in stocks and bonds of the Virginia-Caro- lima Chemical Company Standard oil in- terests. 1t is reported today, secured control of the great fertilizer and sul- phuric acid concern of the south.
 Rockefeller interests already control the American Agricultural Chemical company and the American Cotton oil company. They also control the Ameri- can Llnseed company. These various chemical and vegetable oil companies give to the Rockefellers practically a monopoly of the phosphate and cotton oil business. f
 Tt Is believed that the raid in Wall street which terminated Thursday just before the close of the market. and which was begun on Tuesday by the remark able offer of the Consolidated Gas com pany to sell s9.0O0OOO worth of new stock when stockholders confidently expected that a dividend much larger than that would be paid, was for the purpose of unsettling the market and securing this chemical stock"
