BRIrIsH PEER BURIED WITH RITES

BRITISH PEER BURIED WITH RITES
OF ISLAM. The burial Of a member Of
the House of Lords, according 10 Mo-
hammedan rites-al event without pre-
cedent in The history Of the British peer
age--took place on Tuesday, when the
b dy of Lord Stanley OF Aderley, who
died December 10 of pneumonia, was
consigned to the tombs of his ancestors
in the old church near the family seat at
Chelford, Cheshire, England. IN order
to avoid outraging the religious beliefs
of the villagers, the rlctest secrecy was
observed, and none but members OF the
family and few old and trusted serv-
ants we're present, when, in the faint
light of early morning, the cortege wend-
ed its way from Alderley Park to The
cemetery almost adjoining. The fact
that Lord Stanley had embraced the
Mohammedan faith was not generally
known. Lord Stanley, who was the
eldest son OF a former Postmaster Gen
eral and president Of the Board of
Trade, was born in 1927. In early life
he travelled extensively in the East, and
later became British attache at Constan-
tinople. There he received bis first i'm
preston of Islamism. lie continued in
the diplomatic service until he succeed
ed to the title in 1869, when he retired
into private life. Patron Of three livings
in the Episcopal Church, his orthodoxy
was never doubted, for if he believed in
the doctrines of Mohammedanism all
these years, he neyernublicly announced
the fact, nor did he ever publicly sever
his connection with the Church Of Eng
land.

Hose wagon or no hose wagon?" has 5cc6me semi monthly topic of debate with the Montgomery City Council and ;he Aldermen appear to enjoy discussing ,,se subject.
 The proposition to buy hose wagon to take the place of the present wagon n use by the Montgomery Fire Depart rent at Five Points was again dragged upon the floor of the City Council last night and as usual it brought with 1t dis cussion and dissension. The debate on the hose wagon last night was protracted and at times rather warm.
 Even Mayor Joseph participated in the Councils pet theme and came near hay ing a wordy war with Alderman Toole
 At the close of the session and at the close of the discussion the Council was no nearer the purchase of hose wagon than 1t was a month ago. The discussion was an hour long and nearly every mem- Der of the Council spoke on 1t, one or two of them as many as four times. There was heat in the debate which left some sting.
 The discussion was sprung by the report of the Fire Committee to which was re- ferred the bids submitted to the city for the furnishing of the hose wagon. Two members of the committee, Aldermen An

Committee on the location of the proposed extension of the street car tracks around the undcrpass on lower Commerce Street The resolution provided that one track should be built around the underpass to be used jointly by the Montgomery Stieet Railway Company and the Montgomery Traction Company. The cars are to go down on the east side of the underpass and return on the wes. side.
 { Alder man Gunter said that if he under stood the report of the committee. the rev track would seriously interfere with traffic from Commerce Street to the de- pot. He said that the passing cars would prevent carriages and vehicles from go- ing in or coming out of the depot.
 Alderman Kohn said that he doubted If the resolution gave sieher of ths com psnies the right to have track extended around the underpass. 1t would be neces- sary. he said, for them to be granted fran chises.
 The chairman said that both companies had previously been granted the right. and that the resolution was merely for the purpose of laying out the tracks.
 No Hurry, Says Roeder.
 Alderman Roede- said that Ire had no clear recollection, of the granting of the franchises. He was of the opinion that there should be no hurry. especially as there seemed to be some doubt as to the granting of the franchises. On his mo- ton consideration of the resolution was deferred until the next meeting of the Council.
 An ordinance granting to the Mont gomery Street Railway Company the right to connect its north track on Dex- ter Avenue with its track on Adams Street, the new track to run one block on Bainbridge Street. was taken up. The ordinance had been adversely reported by the Committee on Streets Consideration of the ordinance. as soon as the title was read, was postponed until the next meet- ing of the Council.
 The Council had before 1t two reports on the ordinance granting the Montgom- cry Street Railway Company the right to connect its north track on Dexter Avenue with its track on Court Street. Two mem bers of the Committee reported in fa- vor of the ordinance while the third member submitted an adverse report. This, too, was postponed until the next meeting of the Council.
 As to School Apparatus.
 Alderman kohn offered a resolution d. recting the City Superintendent of Edu- cation to furnish to the Council list of booAS dppdkatuS WihCAi hO SohsAutA Cu absolutely necessary to the conduct of the school, with an estimate of their proba- ble cost. The resolution was adopted. ' Alderman Kohn also offered a resolu- ton drawing attention to the fact that the largest association of railroad men . in America would meet in Montgomery in the spring and providing for the ap- pointment of Committee of three mem- bers of the Council to assist the Mayor in extending to the delegates such cour- tesies as the occasion would require. This was adopted and the President an- nounced that he would name the Commit tee later.
 A resolution by Alderman Hartley al- lowing the Montgomery Traction Com pany to put down slag instead of broken ssone in repaving its tracks on Dexter Avenue and Lawrence Streets was adopt ed.
