FUNERAL OF JUDGE AUSTIN.
Tremendous Crowd Pays Last Tribut,
 of Respect.

of Respect.
 Wetumpka. Feb. 1s.-(special. .)--Funeral services held this morning at Il o'clock over Hon. W. A. Austin were attended by practically all the community. Bus mess houses were closed, the school dis missed and the County Court adjourned as a token of respect to the departed. Three of Judge Austin's sons, who were absent at the time of his death, T. L. in Pensacola, Frank in Birmingham and Max fin Mobile, reached home in time for the last rites, which were conducted by Rev. w. I. Elliott.
 Nearer My God to Thee and "In the Sweet By and By" were sung by request of the family and a soft and sweet duet was rendered by two musicians.
 The pail bearers were G. E. Enslew. F. W. Lull, J. M. Holley, L. W. FarroY. A. Hohenberg and W. o. Robbins.
 The funeral procession was very long, extending over number of blocks. It has been years since so large a number of mourners have followed a loved one to the grave. Another evidence of the esteem in which Judge Austin was held wore the magnificent floral offerings.
 Judge Austin was a man of such fine physique. the picture of health on the very day of his death, that 1t is almost impossible to realize that he will be seen no more on the streets of the town he served so we'll during his mayorality, and of which he has always been so promi- nent a citizen.
 Mrs. Austin has been very i'll ever since she heard of her husbands sudden death. She Is completely prostrated by this great affiiction and young Will Austin, who was i'll at the time of his fathers death is still very sick.

 "I am a sailor man myself, in a way, but not exactly of the navy. You see, l am the man who supplies the cheese you had on your battleships.' '
 You are. are"you?" oueried the sailor man as he struck him blow that knock ed his neighbor clear across the car. And now" he asked. will you tell me where I can find the man who supplied us with our butter?"

as the special order.
 On motion of Mir. Benners the House re- solved itself into the Committee of the Whole.
 Mir. LyonA of Mobile was called to the chair.

 Mir. London of Jefferssn proposed an amendment striking out the lines exempt ing pig iron and cotton.
 Millions of dollars fin pig iron are ex- empt from taxation in the teeth of the Constitution" declared Mir. London. What have you got to do to have your money exempted? Put your money in pig iron and cotton and say you have bought 1t for prompt shipment and under the very terms of the law you are exempt from taxation"
 He characterized the paragraph as protection tariff for the pig iron owners. He said that under the law as it now stood $25,O0o.OOO were exempt from taxa tion.

HOUSE NIGHT SESSION.
Wrangled Three Hours Over Stock
 Law and Adjourned.

The House of Representatives last night after three hours of good humored wrangling failed to dispose finally of the general stock law bill. The House ad- Journed leaving the question still unde- cided.
 There were in the House as many diverse opinions on the stock law bill as there are leaves in autumn. Numerous amendments to the substitute reported from the Local Legislation Committed fioated to the clerks desk and when the House finally adjourned at Il o'clock a large part of the membership had only hazy Idea as to the status of the stock law bill.
 The bill unquestfonably Is one of hvest wires before the House. The wide vari- ance of opinion between the members Of the House on the question was nothing short of astonishing. And every phase of the multiplex question had its adhe- rents on the floor.
 The bill at the end of last nights ses- sion provided that the stock law districts in the State should consist of the elec- ton precincts. It contains also the pro- vision that the qualified electors in each precinct shall vote upon the question be- fore stock law shall be made binding The bill does not make 1t obligatory for the land owners either inside the district or outside to erect fence. No definite regulation was adopted as to the build ing of fence.
 The bill provides that ten freeholders may petition the Court of County Com- missioners through the Judge of Probate to order an election in any precinct for a stock law.
 Members Were Funny.
 tott of the House dlsorderly and good natured. The nnem- bers after being in session over three hours grew facetious.-
 One amendment offered declared that the stock law should not apply to 'the bull yearlings mentioned by the gentle man from Sumter and another made the provisions of the law imperative against flying jennies, grasshoppers and light ming rod agents"
 MT. Reynolds. the Populist member from Chiffon pleaded with the Speaker to stop the lawyers from talking on the bill.
 If the lawyers talk another hour" said MT. Reynolds, pathetically, Ion the bill we won't know a thing about either the bill or the stock law question"
 There were present at the night session 6 members of the House.
 By unanimous consent the Committee on Local Legislation submitted a report and a number of bills were read the sec ond time and placed on the calendar.
 The general stock law came up as the special order for which the first night session was held.
