OPENING IS POSTPONED.
Trotwood Park Will Not be Opened to
 Avoid Conflict.

Trotwood park will not be opened on July Fourth, as wal. planned. The an- nouncement was made Saturday. The date of the opening has not been decided but it will probably be some time the latter part of July.
 The object in postponing the opening was in order not to conflict with the races to be given at the fair grounds for the benefit of the orphans home at East Lake. All the horses which were enter ed for the races at Trotwood park have been transferred to the fair grounds and will race there.
 Besides this the management of the park has agreed to give up Memoi's band, which was engaged for the opening of Trotwood park. The full band will be heard at the fair grounds.
 An excellent programme has been ar ranged for the Fourth. There will be sev- eral trotting and pacing races, and prob ably one or two running races. A barbe- cue will be served during the morning. It is in charge of Fred Wehage, and he is planning something nice for the occasion
 The profits are to go to the orphans home at East Lake. Last Fourth of July over $1OOO was realized and turned over to this cause, and it Is believed that this year the profits will be larger.

DECIDE ON ENCAMPMENTS.
Captain Walter Gardner Returns from
 Montgomery Conference.

Capt Walter Gardner quartermaster of the Third regiment, A. N. G.. has re- turned from Montgomery, where a repre- sentative from each of the regiments met to settle the dates for the annual en- campments.
 The Third will go into camp on July 8 and stay through the 18th. The place for the encampment has not been de- cided on yet, and that win probably be left to the regimental commander.
 For a while an effort was made to send the Alabama regiments to Chiekamauga under the new Dick bill, but this vas found to be impracticabe. This delayed the annual encampments about a month and 1t is feared that it will greatly de- crease the attendance from the Blrming- ham companies, as many Of the boys have already taken their vacations or planned to take them between now and the dates set for the encampment.
 movement is on foot to carry the regiment to Montgomery, and this VIII probably be done. Several )f the local officers are in favor of that althcugn it is stated that protests will be nade from more than one of the companles ia tic smaller towns.

BURNED TO DEATH IN
 CABIN NEAR BESSEMER

Arthur Ballard. a man about 30 years of age, was burned to death in a miner s shanty at Reeder's mines, one mile be- yond Bessemer. early t..ls morning When found the remains of Ballard were burn ed beyond recognition, one of his arms being entirely consumed.
 At first it was thought that young Ballard had been murdered and the cot tage set on fire to hide the crime This theory was'strengthened by the fact that the house was seen to suddenly blaze up and Ballar$ made no effort to escape As the man had no money and no enemies this theory was discarded after full in vestigation.
 It is now the general theory that Bal lard went to his home after finishing his work, wearing a light on his miner s cap. He evidently forgot to put this light out and after he had fallen asleep some of the trash in the room caught fire. The blaze was quickly communica- ted to large quantity of oil stored in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-06-15

the room and an explosion followed. Bal lard probably was suffooated by the smoke and burned to death without hay- ing a chance to escape.
 Coroner Paris made a thorough invest igation yesterday. but as yet the inquest has not been completed. The coroner said last night that the affair had created considerable excitement and many were strong in their belief that Ballard had been murdered. He says hole was found in Balards head as if he had been struck by a blunt instrument. Ac- cording to the coroner many persons be- lieve that Ballard was murdered by mis- take for Foreman Whatley. in whose place he was working. Whatley was sup posed to have considerable money on his person and this gives rise to the murder theory.
 Ballard came from Tallapoosa county and has been at work at Readers about three months. He is a brother-in-law of MT WhRtley.

SAD FATE OF THE
 YELLOW LEGGED HEN
Ebony Hued Old sleuth Has Made the Chickens Cheap in Birmingham
 by Methode de Snatche.

The lives of chickens in Birmingham are not worth as much now as they were a month or two ago. Not for the reason that the prices have dropped, for these are chickens on the roost, but because the negroes are just getting next to their roost snatching business, and every night some fowls disappear never to be seen again by their owners
 About this time every year the ebony colored individual who hailed from far off Africa many years ago gets indus trious in his still hunt for the feathered tribe, and more necks are wrung than at any other time while the sun Is making it's 365 daily trips.
 The spring chicken has Just ripened into well known hen, and fattened on the early worm. He looks good to the negro, who proceeds to plan raid and get some yellow legged fowl. The following morn ing there is consternation In the house of the owner of the aforesaid chicken. and the telephone at police headquarters is the instrument through which the tale of woe Is poured into the ear of the ac- commodating desk sergeant
 Quod erat demonstrandum-A brace of fine looking blue coats is sent to scout, and an ebony is caught in the act He has nom de plume of Louis White and against that on the register of the city hotel appears the words, Burglary and grand larceny" through which the negro is identified the following morning in the court of 'Jedge" Feagin
 The chicks are identified by M. Hurst of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, in whose hen house they were formerly wont to sleep securely every p. m.

FIRE AT KINGSTON.
Building Occupied by T. G. Cartledge
 Burned to the Ground.

Fire which completely destroyed the store occupied by T. G. Cartledge at Kingston broke out yesterday afternoon about 4:3O o'clock, and when discovered had gained such headway that 1t was im- possible to save anything in the building.
 The efforts of the crowd were turned toward saving residences nearby, and by hard work, with the aid of a bucket bri- gade, succeeded in keeping any of the other buildings from igniting, although the residence of J. J. Mitchell, across the street car track, was badly blistered and fruit trees scorched
 The building was owned by Rosetta B. Baer and was partially insured, the loss on same being about s7O0. It is not known whether MT. Cartledge carried any insurance on his goods.
 The efforts of the large crowd were ap- preciated. as the water mains don't quite extend to Kingston, and serious losses might have resulted.
