MISSEDWARDS' CONDITION
 PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED

tbav bave never seen a more striking ex- ample of Christian faith in any one than Miss Edwards displays.
 The attending physicians state that Mss Edwards may live an hour, day a month. or even Q year, but that she will always be paralyzed as she is now. Since A few minutes after the bullet struck her she has been paralyzed below her neck.
 The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. John A. Kaiser, who shot Miss Edwards and afterwards committed sui- eide in order to escape arrest while oom- Ing to Birmingham on the street car were conducted yesterday afternoon from the residence of her cousin, Mrs. Yollmer, on Twenty-eighth street and Avenue l. and. the interment was in Woodlawn oem- etery.
 There will be no further investigation Into the case, it Is thought, and 1t will probably never be known whether the man who attended Mrs. Kaiser when she went to the Edwards home in Woodlawn was a white man or a negro. Mrs. Ed wards, Miss Edwards and the latters brother all state positively that 1t was a negro, as all three talked to him. Frank Edwards stated last night that he was sure it was not a white man. as his mother, sister and brother could not all be mistaken, as they had seen the man in a good light.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-11-28

The condition of Miss Nellie Edwards. who was shot Friday night by Mrs. John A. Kaiser in fit of jealousy, was prac- tically tho same last night. The physi- clans noted very little change.
 No operation was performed yesterday, as the surgeons concluded after making another examination of her condition, that 1t would not be of any benefit and she might not recover from the shock.
 Yesterday morning Miss Edwards had a high fever. but later in the day her fever went down rapidly and yesterday after noon her temperature was normal.
 Drs. Copsland, Wilson, Whelan and others held consultation last night and decided that 1t would be best not to per- form an operation, although the young lady's family were willing if the physi- clans thought it advisable
 Miss Edwards Is still perfectly con- scious, and talks with the members of her family and the few friends who are al- lowed to see her. She says that she will live, that she feels confident However. she has been told how grave the physl- clans regard her case, and she seems per- fectly resigned. She does not seem to fear death at all, and has asked her sis ter-in-law, Mrs Frank Edwards, to at tend to number of things for her in case of a fatal issue.

SECOND PRIMARY
 IN FOURTH WARD A Very Spirited Contest for Al-
 dermanic HonOrs WARD POLITICIANS BUSY John R. Copeland and 3. 3. Martin Are the Candidates for Board
 of AIdermen-clty Com
 mlttee to Meet.
WARD POLITICIANS BUSY

The second, or run off'' municipal pri- mary takes place today. The candidates for mayor in the recent campaign re- fused to enter the second primary against George B. Ward, who received the highest number of votes for mayor, and this leaves only a runover contest in the fourth ward.
 John R. Copeland. the incumbent, and B. B. Martin are to make the second race for alderman from the fourth. At the primary last Monday the race be- tween MT. Copeland and MT. Martin was very close, Robert N. Bell, the third can didate for alderman from the Fourth ward did not receive very many votes, and his strength will probably be evenly divided between the two contestants.
 The past week has been busy one in inc Fourth ward. Both candidates for aldermanio honors have been hard at work, and there is not voter In the entire ward, probably, who has not been solicited for his ballot. The polling strength of the Fourth is about l2 votes. Up to a few months ago the Fourth was the smallest ward in Bir- mingham, but the last registration places if eighth on the list of nine wards.
 The city democratic executive commit tee will probably meet Tuesday night In the council chamber at the city hall. All ter eanvassing the returns of the run on primary in the Fourth ward, and declar' ing the result, the old committee will ad- iourn sine die. The new committee will then qualify and assume office. The personnel of the new committee follows:
 First Ward-H. B. Abernathy and c. A Collins.
 Second Ward-Max Karples and Abe Rich.
 Third Ward-John D. Elliott and R. W | Walker.
 Fourth Ward-John T. Evans and w | P. Moughon.
 Fifth Ward-John T. Yeatman and P. P. Daugette.
 Sixth ward-Milton Greenwood and D. l.. Martin.
 Seventh ward-R. B. smyer and W. H Tomppert.
 Eighth ward-A. W. Nelson and Hind' | Peevey.
 Ninth Ward-James F. Hawkins ant Walter Metcalfe.
 The indications are that Walter Met caIfe from the Ninth ward will be elected chairman of the new committee. R. smyer committeeman from the Seventh ward, is also mentioned as a possible candidate for the chairmanship.
 The race for the place of secretary o the new committee Is also interesting Abe Rich the incumbent is candidate for reelection, and it is understood tha John T. Evans of the Fourth ward vii oppose him.

IRON PRICES MUST
 BE PROMPTLY MET
GENUINE IMPROVEMENT IN FIN ISHED LINES NOW AcKNoWL- EDoED-APPEARANcE OF LARGE BUYING INTERESTS.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati report of Saturday says:
 While the transactions of the week have not been as heavy as those during the excitement which the market has re- gently witnessed, there is no indication of lack of interest. The sales prove con- clusively that the prices named by the furnace must be promptly met by the buyer if the latter expects to do any business.
 'The sudden rise in price which has been registered was a source of eonsid- erable anxiety to those who look for the best possible conditions At It's start the only apparent cause was a sudden desire on the part of many to cover for their immediate needs. regardless of con- sequences.
 That genuine improvement in fin- ished lines was necessary to warrant the advance and maintain it, was admitted on all sides, and at the time was gen. erally regretted as being absent. This improvement is now acknowledged to be at hand, and to it's presence Is mainly due the stability of the market. The appearance this week of several of the largest buying interests in the middle west, and their desire to contract for a round tonnage for a period ahead, was significant. Heretofore they have only been buying for immediate shipment, and their advent as parties to extended con- tracts has been looked forward to. They are understood to have closed for a large tonnage in the aggregate. Market con- ditions have warranted some northern furnaces joining the list of those whose books are satisfactorily filled for the present, and who have withdrawn from the market.
 Coke continues strong, with an ad- vancing tendency, and the difficulties surrounding manufacture and shipment are more aggravated.''

CASE UNDER ADvlsEMENr.
Petition of R. L. Williams is Beinq
 Considered by Judge Senn.

Judge Charles A. Senn of the city court Of Birmingham has under advisement the potion of of R. L. Williams who seeks an order of the court requiring the elec tion managers to certify that he was elected justice of the peace of beat 21, Birmingham.

FIRE DAMAGED RESIDENCE.
H. J. Shepherds House on TwelftF Avenue, South, Partially Burned.

The residence of IL J. Shepherd, on Twelfth avenue and Thirteenth street. South, was damaged by fire yesterday morning at 9:3O o'clock. The damage amounts to about $4OO or $5OO and is cov- cred by insurance.
 The fire originated in some leaves in the gutters on the roof of the house. Mr. Shepherd discovered the fire when 1t first started, and extlnguished it, so he thought. Later he discovered that the fire had not been qeunched and that a large portion of the roof of his house was burning.
 The fire department was summoned, and saved the house from being badly damaged, although a run of more than a mile had to be made.

MEN LISTEN TO A
 STIRRING ADDRESS
MIR. TERRY TALKS TO Y. M. c. A. AUDIENCE ON A PRACTICAL THEME-sPIRITED SCRIPTURE QUESTION CONTEST.

The Sunday club meeting held yester- day afternoon at the Y. M. c. A., was one of invitation to those "who hunger after a better llfe."
 Such old gospel hymns as ''Whosover win," Jesus Is Waiting" and Are You Coming Home Tonight?' were sung with spirit at the opening of the meeting and a number of earnest prayers were offered. After a reading from the 51st Psalm the speaker of the afternoon, J. M. Terry, one of the local Y. M c. A. workers, was announced. In the beginning of his ad- dress MT. Terry made the request that every one present who had not accepted Christ give a few moments to serious consideration, during which time MT. Makln sang as solo, "Take Time to Be Holy"
 The scriptural text, My Son. Give Me Thy Heart" was the basis of the address. In the first place it was made plain that, since God created us and made us in His own image, we owe Him our lives and all we are or hope to be. We should accept Christ, continued the speaker, because He cares for us. q will never leave thee nor forsake thee, sayeth the Lord. We need His help. Men who are stand- ing in their own strength must event ually fall, as nations have fallen that trusted solely in their own might. Jesus paid it all, all to Him we owe" That strong expression of faith made originally by St. Paul. that q know in whom have believed and am persuaded that He Is able to keep that which I have conlmit- ted unto Him against that day" was quoted by the speaker with the additional statement that he had realized in his own experience the truth of this text. The men present heard from the speaker some account of the Lords dealings with him, all of which was listened to in a most reverential spirit.
 At the close of the address a number expressed a desire to become Christians and afterwards attended the inquiries meeting conducted by Secretary Jackson
 At the social meeting Physical Director l.. o. Gillesby presided. He introduced an interesting contest ne HIGH were arranged much the same as in the old fashioned spelling match, each side hay ing captains. The side which would eventually win in this contest would be the one havingNthe most thorough knowl- edge of scriptures. Questions relating to the Bible, the answers to which were found in that book, were asked either side. The side which answered correctly the greatest number from given num- Der of questions propounded was de- -clared the winner. For about twenty minutes a lively contest was waged and much important biblical knowledge was exchanged.
 Assistant Secretary J. s. Bridges was absent from the meeting, having gone to the bedside of his father. Capt. J. M Bridges, who is i'll at his home in Selma
 B. S. Huggins, college secretary foI the state committee, arrived in the city Saturday night from trip of visitation to the college associations.
