 THE OLD SOLDIERS

Ensley, April 11.-(Special)-The camp of ex-confederate soldiers held their usual meeting last night, being one of the most interesting of the year. It was well at tended by the citizens of Ensley and sey- eral visiting members of other camps. An interesting poem of the Conquered Flag" was read by the sponsor, Miss Ellen Reece, which brought tears to the eyes of many of the audience. little girl recited a most beautiful piece of poetry. and on waving the Stars and Bars at the close. it was eheered by the old soldiers.
 A movement was put on foot by MT. Arnold to have each soldiers life insured in an association in order to secure respectable burial for old soldiers whose families are not able to provide suitable burials.
 The Rev. MT. Wright made an eloquent appeal for a soldiers home in Alabama, and said it was a shame for so many tried and true heroes of the south to fill paul pers' graves.
 Governor Jeks was severely criticized for not aiding in the establishment of this home l.. c. McNabb defended Governor Jelks, but insisted that 1t belonged to the sons of the old soldiers. and not to the camps to prepare for the last days and the last resting place of the old confed- crates. He said that for fOur long years these old men had kept lead and steel between the northern arimes and the southern home. and that they had built up the new south from the ashes of the old, and the great burden rested on their shoulders for forty years. They had cer- tainly done enough; and that 1t was the duty of the young men who have born no

Some Criticisms of the Governor.

The position taken by Governor Jelks relative to an exhibit at the St. Louis Worlds fair has brought some rather caustic criticism from members of the exposition commission. The commission had hoped and expected to get some finan- cial encouragement from the governor, but the chief executive does not believe that the condition of the treasury will warrant any appropriation or at least not enough to be of material benefit.
 It is known that before the legislature recessed the governor was approached upon the matter of an appropriation by Chairman Handley of the house appro- priations committee. and the governor stated at that time that he could not see his way clear to approve a bill carrying an appropriation for an exhibit. Chair man Handey wanted to recommend an appropriation of s25,O ,OO0 but when he as- certained that the governor would not approve it he declined to further consider the matter.
 The friends closest to Governor Jelks know that he favors credtable exhibit at St Louis, and it is a matter of as great regret to him as to any member of the commission that he can not figure treasury conditions for next year that will permit him to endorse liberal appro priation.

shepard to Address Lawyers.

The acceptance by Edward M. Shepard, the great New York lawyer and prominent democrat, of an invitation to address the Alabama Bar association at it's annual meeting here in June, is causing much interest among the lawyers. While MT. Shepard is considered possibility in the race for democratic presidential nomina- tion, his visit to Alabama is not to be considered in political sense. Mir.

Gerald Will Win.

There has been another fight waged In this municipal election that has been quite as warm as that for mayor though it has been under cover. For more than quarter of a century Adolph Gerald has been serving as chief ot police or Montgomery, and it is widely known that his policy has been rather for the wide open town Sunday observance here has not been the strictest, nor has the gambler been watched to the detriment of property holders who are taxed to have officers to guard them against burglars and highwaymen. 1t Is acknowl- edged that there is much that can be said on both sides of this question. but there is one fact that must be admitted: The census records show the percentage Of arrests in this town to rank with the smallest in the United States. Burglaries, holdups and such crimes as are so com mon to many cities are here very infre- quent.
 Chief Gerald has had strong fight made upon him, but it is now admitted that he has won against the crusaders. In future the entire police force is to be chosen by board of police commission CTS This commission is to be selected by the city council, composed of fifteen members. It is claimed that nine of this number will vote for a commission fa- vorable to Gerald, while two of them are said to be placed as doubtful
 There are countless candidates for places on the police commission, and it's can hardly be specuated upon David Fleming, at present presi- dent of the council, will, it is understood, ask for a place on the commission. It is that he can be elected.
 The city attorneyship is an office to be filled by the council which will cause rather lively scrimmage. Bibb Graves, at city attorney, is a candidate for reelection. His opponents will probably be Ray Rushton and Gaston Gunter, both of whom are now members of the council.

CRUSHED
TO DEATH
DAVID HOPKINS, A SHOT FIRER,
KILLED IN MINE Accl.
- DENT.
ROOF OF ROOM COLLAPsEs
Accident Occurred About $50 O'clock
Yesterday Afternoon in Coal Mine
Near Eddyville-Death Was lnstan-
taneous-Hopkins just Fired Shot.

Eddyville, Dec. Especial )-Dav-
i'd Hopkins, a shot firer in mine No 8,
three miles from Eddyville, the proper
ty of the Consolidated Coal Co., was
instantly killed at $50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon by the collapse of the
roof of a room in the mine where he
had just fired a shot.
The accident is one of those which
is apt to occur in any mine at any time,
according to the story that has reached
this city. The coroner's inquest has
not yet been held and until it is the
true account of the accident will not
be known. Hopkins was employed as
a shot firer, his duty being to examine
the charges placed in the firing holes
the miners had left the mine for the
day. This system has been employed
in Iowa mines of late in order that
if fatal accidents do occur they will
result in the loss of the least number
of lives possible.
Roof caved in.
Hopkins had just fired shot and
had probably entered the room to see
the result of his work when the root
caved in without warning crushing the
unfortunate man to instant death un-
der tons of coal and slate. Miners
found his bruised and broken body a
few minutes after the accident but life
was then extinct.
Was Unmarried Man.
Hopkins was 35 years of age and
was unmarried. He had lived al
Muchakinock Yards for nearly all his
life and has relatives there. His
body was taken to his home. The ar
rangement for the funeral have not vel
been announced
