Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, July II.
 oetween midnight and l o'clock this inorning the residents of the western portion Of the city were awakened by . bright blaze in the vicinity of Live oak Cemetery.An alarm was sent in immediately after the fire was discov- ereo. and the department found | numoer of small negro cabins and St Johns African Methodist Church afire. me names had originated in the house oI Elder Charles Payne, who, with his wire, were in Montgomery. There be- ing nobody in the house. the origin Of the lire is shrouded in mystery. and II IS not. positively known whether lt started from within or without the cabin.
 The flames were quickly communicat- ed to the church. also a frame struc- ture, on the east, and to two other small houses on the west The latter belonged to George w. Wise. One of these houses as well as the house oc- cupied by Payne were totally destro; : ed and the other was gutted. From the church the flames were communi cated to two small houses owned by A. Jacobson of Montgomery. One of these was totally destroyed and thc other partially so.
 The property was all insured and the total loss will hardly exceed s2.000. The church will not likely be rebuilt as negotiations were pending for the pur chase of the property.

No Verdict Refurned

The jury empaneled to investigate ! the death of w. N. Terry. who was found dead In his room yesterday morn. ing at Bessemer, failed to bring a yer dict last night and will meet again Tuesday to further investigate the case. The following men were on the Jury; O. w. Wilson, W. A. Simmons J. c. Burgin. Lucien Huey, James Han by and Dr. c. R. Lewis. They spent most of yesterday afternoon hearing evidence of the different witnesses.
 There are several very peculiar cir cumstances connected with the case. which have caused considerable dis cussion as to whether it was suicide or not.
 The unfortunate young man was shot directly through the heart, and when found was in the bed with the covers pulled up over him and the mosquito net pulled down and tucked closely around the bed. with the revolver that he is supposed to have used in the bureau drawer and the drawer closed.

Decision Expected Monday.

Much interest is felt in legal circles In the forthcoming decision of the Su- preme court directing the consolidated courts of Jefferson County It is nm derstood that decision will be hand ed down on Monday next The opinion has been ready for some days, but its nature will not be known until the de- cision is rendered.
 Should the constitutionality of the act consolidating the courts not be sus- tafned, 1t would bring about a very unsettled state of affairs, probably ne- cessitating another primary election hence the interest felt in court circles in the outcome

A RUNT BUNCH OF BANANAS
BY FRANK H. SWEET.

(Copyright. 1904. by Daily Story Pub.
 Co.).
 It was only a scrawny, half-sized bunch with irregular, misshapen tin- gers that had been squeezed between more thrifty punches on adjoining stalks, but it proved the saliva tion of Seppina Alfano and Tony.
 At the Barratas finca it was cut be- cause the parent stalk had to be cut and removed to make room for new growth. and the machete stroke was so careless as to clip the tips of a whole cluster of fingers. That made premature decay inevitable.
 Of course the bunch was thrown put, but by some inadventure a field hand picked it up and included it with . lot that was being hurried to a ves- gel. There the clipped tips were un- noticed. because at the moment the bunch passed the inspector his atten- ton was divided by fiuttering hand kerchief: but he waved the bearer of the fruit toward that portion of the hold where only half-bunches of the poorest quality were placed, for even the most cursory glance showed it had but two and half hands, with fingers of almost unmarketable ugliness.
 Twenty hours later the vessel weighed anchor and left Trujillo, and by the time it passed Cape Catoche, with the end of Cuba showing as a shadow off to the right, the injured tips were in process of decay. At New Orleans the bunch was unhesitatine- ly discarded as being unfit for a jour ney north. hundred or more other punches were discarded at the same time, perfect fruit, except that they were shade too ripe for a long jour ney. These were sold for a trife to city fruit vendors who were waiting about the wharf with their push carts, watching for just such a chance to buy.
 Petro, the Italian who had a stand m front of the St. Charles Hotel, was tne largest buyer; and as he started away with his fruit a wharf band
