GENEROSITY OF JUDGE THOMAS.
He Has Given 6 Scholarship and
 Medal to Auburn,

Prof. c. C. Thach, President of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, who is in the city, announced yesterday that Judge William H. Thomas of Mont gomery had offered a $170 scholarship loan to be awarded to a worthy student by the Alumni Society of Auburn to be used in conjunction with the work of the General Education Board of New York
 Judge Thomas has also offered a gold medal to be contested for by the Poly teehnic students for the best written es- say on any subject
 Professor Thach said yesterday that the donations were especially gratifying by reason of the fact that Judge Thom- as was not a student at Auburn, but is a graduate of Emory College, Oxford, Ga. Judge Thomas, however, has aIways felt kindly interest in the work of the school at Auburn.
 It will be remembered that a similar scholarship loan was recently offered the Auburn Institute by Col. R. F. Ligon of Montgomery.

THREE FIRE CALLS
STORE OF ROBERT GRAHAM WAS
 DESTROYED.
Loss to Mercantile Establishment About $1, ,500-Julia Street Fire
 Believed to Be Work of an Incendiary.

Sunday and Monday developed three fires in Montgomery, the most serious or which destroyed the store of Robert Gra- ham on the Lower Wetumpka Road near the Montgomery Brewery.
 The alarm was sent in by telephone at 5:45 o'clock yesterday morning. When the department arrived on the scene the one story frame building occupied by MT Graham as a store had nearly burned and the attention of the laddies was almost entirely directed to adjacent buildings. These houses were scorched but little damage resulted.
 The proprietor of the burned store is out of the city. His loss is about M,0OO' which is partially covered by insurance
 About 10:SO o'clock yesterday morning the department answered an alarm from the plumbing establishment of J. A. Mur- ray, 20 South Perry Street. The fire ap- parently originated on a. desk and valu- able papers were destroyed. The fire was extinguished with Babcocks. The loss is about S2oo.
 Early Sunday morning small house on Julia Street. occupied by negroes, caught fire in the rear of the building The damage was about $20. The fire is be- lieved to have been the work of an in- cndiary, and Sunday morning George Charles, a negro, was arrested by Spe- cial Ofticers Payne and Jackson on charge of arson in connection with the fire. The officers say they have damag- ing proof of the negro's guilt. His case will be heard the latter part of the week.

ENGINEERS SATISFIED
RESULT OF CONFERENCE AGREE
 ABLE TO THEM.
Mir. Conner Says Men on Montgom- cry Division of Louisville and Nashville Will Be Paid
 Same as Others.

The locomotive engineers running be- tween Montgomery and Mobile are now getting the standard of wages paid on the heaviest divisions of the Louisville end Nashville system.
 This information was given The Adver- i tiser yesterday by Engineer Conner. who represented the Mobile and Montgomery division during the recent conferesce be- tween General Manager Evans and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
 The thing that surprises me" said MT Conner, "is the hsracter of the report sent out from Louisville to the different newspapers about our meeting. Why, in- stead of there being any friction. there was a spirit of harmony throughout, and for five days Mir. Evans placed room in his office at our disposal.
 ''Thc result of the conference has been to instil a spirit of friendship and strengthen the feeling of loyalty that the engineers and employees generally have always had for the management of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany. The agreement entered into by General Manager Evans and our commit tee was that every main line division should have a uniform scale of wages For instance, our division. the Montgom- cry and Mobile has formerly paid tf . engineers s. 10 per day, while on the South and North division. between Montgomery and Birmingham, the engineers were pald $6 per day. The Montgomery and Mobile engineers now get the same scale as ev- cry division on the system-$6 per day.
 Instead of being paid by the hour the branch line. or short dog,' runs are now maid by the day, whether they make so many hours and running time or not and engineers of switch or yard engines now receive s3.3O per day instead of s, as formerly
 "No" continued Mir. Conner. ''the over time question was left as it was. but the conference was highly satisfactory to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers"
 Change in Pullman Service.
 On account of the frequent delays or Western Railroad trains, silgnt chanse has been made in the New fork-New Or- isars through Pullman service. Train No. 3. going south on the Louisville and Nashville leaves the Montgomery union Station for New, Orleans at e:Sb p. nl'
 This train gets the Pullman cars and of the Western train that IS due in Montgomery at 9:2o ?. m., but on account of tho Western train haVihs 10 wait in Atlanta for the cohnectioI' brought from Washington by the eouth- ern. the Western train is almost alWays Sron t,So to ,,.. hours late, caused by the connection of the Southern.
