Congress Will Probably Get Through i Next Thursday.

Washington, April 1s.-April 2S contin- ues to be the day set for adjournment for which the leaders In both Senate and House are striving.
 Senators Aldrich and Hale conferred with Speaker Cannon today in regard to he legislation which 1t will be neces- sary to enact before agreement can be reached to adjourn Congress. The views of the leaders are So far in harmony that no reason was found for a change of mind about concluding April B. Sev- eral members of the House have impor- tant engagements which they desire to fill soon after that time and there are many others who anticipate attending tn , opening of the Louisiana Purchase Expo sition at St. Louis April 30. According ly when the question of adjournment was broached today, 1t was the unanl- nous opinion that next week should see the close of Congress and Thursday seem ed to be the date most favored if all business on the legislative calendar can be put through. Many important meas ures outside of appropriation bills will re- main on the slate.

The MacAfee Companx.

yAnent the recent embarrassments of the MacAfee Company, a construction company doing considerable work on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, building be- tween Atlanta and Birmingham, and the statement made that the embarrassment was caused by slow collection from the railroad statement has been made by a representative of the Seaboard, as fol- lows: 4J%'. t
 The published statement concerning the MacAfee Construction Company charges that the receivership of that company was occasioned by it's inability to collect from the Seaboard Air Line for work on the Birmingham branch, and that he understood that all the other con- tractors had throyn up their contracts because of their inability to secure from the Seaboard what was due them. is un- qualifedly untrue and without founda- ton. The Seaboard Air Line pays month ly to all of its contractors on the Birm- ingham line the full amount due them under their contracts called for by the engineers estimates. The grading of the entire line is nearly finished and many of the contractors have finished their con tracts and have moved away. No con tractors have ceased or suspended work at any time because of their inability to collect from the Seaboard Air Line promptly every cent to which they were entitled.'
 The Seaboard has plenty of funds hav- ing within a month received g, 2,500.000 in cash from the sale of the collateral trust bonds to be used specifically in defraying the expenses of the Birmingham i'm proyements,

Company Mustered Out of the Ala
 bama National Guard.

Anniston, April 20 0--(Special.)-The com ing of Captain Morgan and General w. w. Brandon to this city yesterday af- ternoon marked the passing out of the Anniston Rifles. Company D., Sd Regi- ment. Alabama National Guard. Captain Morgan and General Brandon came yes- terday for the purpose of inspecting the local company. The resignation of Lleu- tenant J. D. Dill had placed the com the city. and on arrival of the inspect ing officers the company was mustered out.
 The Anniston Rifles were organized in 1887 and have been considered very effi- cient company. The removal of Captain Mcconnell to Tennessee and Second Lieu tenant Cheney to Chepultepec. along with the resignation of First Lieutenant Dill, left the company without a commits stoned oficer. On the arrival of the in- spectors Sergeant Crook turned over all equipment and the company was no more.
 In 1898 the company volunteered as a body for the Spanish-American war but sirce being mustered out of the volunteer service little interest has been taken. Another company will be mustered in here to take the place of Company D.
 The inspection of the Calhoun Rifles of Oxford last night brought out a good crowd. The officers arrived at g o'clock and inspected the arms and equipment. after which the company was put through the most difficult movements in extended order
 Following the inspection Captain Nor gan and General Brandon made speeches complimenting the showing made and as- sured the company that 1t would be one of the twelve that would be sent to the encampment at Manassas, Va, this sum mer.
 Captain Morgan said that the Calhoun Rifles inspection was as good as any all ready made in the State. He places the Montgomery Greys. the Calhoun Rifles and the Dothan company as making the most creditable inspections of the thirty companies inspected. The officers left today for Gadsden where the Etowah Ri- fies will be inspected tonight. The first battalion of the 3d Regiment at Birming- ham will be inspected later in the week.

Trouble Over Negro Excursion.


 As result of a negro excursion from Selma to Whitehall today on which negro woman was killed and several negroes were beat up in nu- merous fights, the Colored Knights of Pythias will sue for damages the ne- gro who ran the excursion on account of the name of the Knights of Pythias being used in connection with the af- fair.
 It seems that the negro, who con- ducted the excursion was an officer of the Knights of Pythias and advertised the affair as being under the auspices of that order. When the excursion crowd returned to Selma tonight and the many difficulties of the day were made known. the lodge decided to at once file suit for damages.
 The killing occurred shortly after the crowd had reached Whitehall. Lewis Sherry, a negro, employed at one of the oil mills, took with him a woman named Carrie alias Sweety. He warned her on reaching the grounds that he did not want to see her with another man. if he did he would kill her. Shortly afterwards he saw her in company with a negro and walking up to her fired his re- volver at close range. The ball took effect in the negress' arm. second shot was fired. which passed through the body of the woman near the heart. She died within five minutes
 There were several other fights. one of which was over poker game.
