land and John NJ. Nix, those gentle
men are assured of election.
The question is also submitted to the
voters whether the town shall establish
and maintain free public library, and

while the other class has had plenty

ANOTHER CREDITOR
 FILES 4 PETITION
ARGUMENT IN BANKRUPTCY PRO- cEEDlNGs OF CASE OF LUCILLE COAL COMPANY POSTPONED UNTIL AUGUST 27.

Argument Tn the bankruptcy proceed ings in the case of the Lucille Coal com pany was not taken up yesterday before Referee N. w. Trimble. as originally in- tended.
 An order from Judge Thomas G. Jones was received postponing such arguments until August 27-The ground for the post ponement is a petition which has been filed by the B. F. Roden Grocery com pany, creditor of the Lucille Coal com pany.
 The petition makes the averment that w. J. Martin, who is president of the bankrupt corporation. immediately upon the filing of the petition in bankruptcy of the Lucille Coal company, waived notice of the service of subpoena and admitted that the company was unable to pay its debts
 The petitioner further ayers that the creditors have not had sufficient notice and that Referee N. w. Trimbie is about to determine their rights as creditors without giving them a day in court.

PROPOSITION WILL
 BE FOR $25O,OOO
VOTERS WILL PROBABLY BE ASKED TO SAY WHETHER OK NOT CITY SHALL HAVE NEW HIGH SCHOOL.

It is now thought that the resolution which will be introduced at the next meeting of city council regarding the holding of an election to vote on issuing bonds to secure funds to build a new high school will recommend s250,00O in- stead of s5oO.OOO.
 The original suggestion of Dr. J. M. Phillips was for $25oOOO, but 1t was felt for time that 1t would be well to make the bond issue large enough to cover other school buildings which were com templated. If the movement for greater Birmingham is successful this fall 1t is well known that the school facilities of the city will be entirely inadequate.
 The census of opinion seems to be, 1t is said, that would be better to make the high school measure separate and distinct proposition and specify that the bond issue should not be for more than s25o. .0oo.
 Mayor Drennen makes the statement that the city has full power to take any steps toward building a new high school and that it is not necessary to go before the legislature with the question as many seem to think.

 Byrd followed the evidence and sum med up his case in a masterly way at the close demanding the commonwealth of Kentucky that the defendants be hanged. He begged the jury in the name of the children of James B. Mareum and the widow now living alone in Breathitt county to affix the death penalty He begged not to turn the assasins loose as it would mean death to the witnesses who had come here to testify against the assassins. Byrd spoke for thirty-five minutes this morning and the whole of the afternoon session, consuming in all about four hours and thirty-fve min utes.
 Tomorrow morning James D. Black and Hon. L. P. Fryer will address the jury. It is thought that the jury will get the case some time tomorrow morn ing.

TROUBLE DUETS DOWN.
No Serious Difficulty at Virginia City
 Mines Is Anticipated.

The trouble at Virginia mines, six miles south of Bessemer. which caused the send ing of a number of deputies to the scene Monday afternoon has auieted down and no further difficulty Is anticipated
 Four deputies remained at Virginia yes- terday to watch for any further outbreak. The trouble seems to have arisen out of the discharge of five or six men by the Alabama Steel and Wire company the owner and operator of the mines. These men then asked the other miners to re- fuse to work until they should again be given work.
 A number of miners joined the dis charged men, so that two factions were formed Some violent threats were made and the superintendent of the mine final ly thought 1t necessary to ask the as- sistance of the sheriff in preserving order. The reported shooting Monday was with out foundation.

Six Ruzzards Struck Dead By an Elec.

Selma, August 1.-(SpeeiaL) )-Citizens of orville In Selma today report that the electric storm which passed over that place last evening was the fercest ever experienced. Besides setting fire to J. B. Ellis barn and totally destroying it. the lightning played a peculiar prank with some buzzards that had taken shel- ter in a tree in another portion of the city. There were six of the carrion crows in the tree when, following an exceed ingly vivid flash of lightning and a fear full peal of thunder, all of them were seen to tumble to the ground dead. There was no evidence found that the tree had been struck by the bolt. There was noth- ing to mark the path of the electricity and the tree was not burned in any par ticular, but the buzzards were instantly killed.
 MT. Ellis had $l5,00O insurance; $500 on the barn, which cost over $12,0O0 to bui.a; $500 on the horses and $40O on the vehicles and harness. The mare that was found dead when the stall was broken open was said to be the finest saddle animal in the county. MT. Ellis had refused $750 for her several weeks ago. MT Beth Moseley, a young man, had his face and neck badly burned while assisting in saving one of the vehicles in the barn.
 The Abbot Rifles, Company c, Alabama National Guard. which has taken off near ly all the honors at Camp DuMont will be received by the citizens of Selma to- morrow with flags flying and a band at the depot to welcome them on their re- turn. Selmians are proud of the record made by the boys.
