QUALITY OF GRAVEL
BOARD OF REVENUE FTxEs STAND
 ARD OF GRADE.
Material Furnished County for Roads and Bridges Must Meet Require
 ments--WeelxIy Disburse-
 ments of Clerk WestcOtt.

Resolutions were yesterday adopted at the regular weekly meeting Of the Board of Revenue of Montgomery County, fixing the quality of gravel to be used on the County roads and the thickness of timber to be used on the County bridges,
 It has been the experience of the Board often that when road Is gray eiled or bridge Is repaired the 'qual- ity of the material is so inferior that the expenditure really gives no result. In the future all gravel will have to contain SO per cent rock and the rest red clay and the bridges will have a uniform floor thickness of two and a half inches before either Is accepted by the County road and bridge inspec- tor.
 W. D. Brown reported that he had inspected the work on the bridge over Clancy Branch and that 1t was entirely satisfactory.

BURGLARS IN A STORE
GOODS HAULED FROM KREss' IN A
 WAGON.
Place Was Entered by Way of a sky light and Variety of Merchan- disc was Taken-NO
 Arrests Made.

It was discovered yesterday morning that burglars had entered Sunday night or early Monday morning the Kress novelty store on Court Square and had robbed the store of s1O in cash, $3 worth of stamps and merchandise valued at probably $50, although the exact loss of stock is not yet known as no in- ventory has been taken since the dis covery of the robbery.
 The matter was reported to Police Headquarters yesterday morning by c. T. Green, manager of the store, and detectives were assigned the case. No arrests have been made.
 MT. Green said that his first inti- nation of the robbery was at 1880 o'clock yesterday morning, when he opened the store. He noticed at once the disordered condition of the stock and on walking back of the candy counter he stepped on a candy tray that had been left on the floor and saw candy scattered about the floor. See ing goods all about him removed from their accustomed places, he realized that the store had been burglarized. He walked to the rear and found the back door open, the transom above 1t broken and the iron grating over the cellar just outside the door lifted from its setting and lying on the ground. He also discovered that the skylight in the ceiling had been smashed.
 It is believed that the burglars gain ed access to the store through the sky light since this is the most reasonable way of explaining their entrance.
 When MT. Green went to his ofice and examined his desk he found that everything had been turned topsy turvy but that the only loss was about $S worth of stamps.
 Every cash register had been pried open and the contents, about $lO. had been removed.
 A thorough examination of the stock showed that a variety of goods in gross lots were missing. The manager be- lieves that a wagon was used to haul the goods away from the store.
 Mir. Green was in the store at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. He Is posi- tive that the robbery occurred between that hour and 7:S0 o'clock yesterday morning when he opened the store for the day.
 Police Chief Gerald thinks the burg lary was committed by a band of ne- groes.

GIFT To THn L1nRARY.
Mr. Murphy sends Carnigie's Original
 Letter.

Among the recent gifts to the Carni- gie Library of Montgomery. is the manuscript of the original letter in which MT. Carnigie offered $5O.000 for the erection of the building The letter Is given to the Library by Mir. Edgar Gardner Murphy. of this city. to whom the communication was ad- dressed. It is on Mir. Carnigie's letter head. and reads as follows,
 Andrew Carnigie.
 New York City, Feb. 13. 1904 To the Rev. E. c. Murphy. Montgom-
 try. Ala.
 Dear Sir-Yours of December 10, has just been taken up. If the city of Montgomery obtains the necessary law, and passes an ordinance obliKating it. self to maintain a public library at a cost of $5.000 a~year. and furnishes a proper site Mir. Carnigie will be glad to give $5O.ooo for the building.
 Respectfully.
 James Bertram.
 Private Secretary. In presenting the document to the library, Mir. Murphy states that inas- much as such documents are some times of service in future years. he wishes the manuscript to be placed in some unobtrusive nook, where it may be accessible to those interested in the history of the institution. He writes that his own interest In library for the city was largely due to the enthu siastic work of the Montgomery Lib rary Association; and that in conse- quence of the labors of Mrs. A. H. Nun ger. Mrs. Morrissette. and others of the women of Montgomery be began as early as 1900 to try to interest Mir. Carnigie in the institution. These ef- forts were renewed when he was in- vited to become member of the exe- cutive board and to help undertake ac- tive steps toward the fulfilment of the hopes of tbe Association.
 ''The enlistment of the interest of MT. Carnigie," writes Mir. Murphy. was naturally the smallest part in the achievement of our plans. The inita- tive of the women ot the city, the en- thusiastic leadership of MT. Pharse Coleman our President, the aggress- i've cooperation of all the library trus, tees, and the gifts and sacrifices of our citizens of every class. constituted the real victory. Our building is the handsomest ty-thousand dollar lib- rary that have seen anywhere in our country; and hope that some of us can soon secure for 1t a more adequate equipment in the way of books. But Rome was not built in day and it Is often necessary to take one thing at time"
 Mir. Murphy expects to return to Montgomery, about November 29.
