REMAINS OF WEBB
 SENT TO ATLANTA
CONDITION OF WOMAN SHOT BY MAN WHO AFTERWARDS COM MlTTEo SUICIDE IS ABOUT THE SAME.

The widow of w. R. Webb, the man who shot and probably fatally wounded Nora Scarborough and then killed himself with the same revolver in a negro house in Alley A, between Eighteenth and Nine teenth streets, at Il 80 o'clock Wednes- day morning. has refused to have any thing to do with the body. She has noti- fled the coroner. through a brother, James Ellison, that she does not care to have anything to do with the burial of man who was killed under such circumstances. MT. Ellison told Coroner Paris early yes terday morning that If the other relatives did not order some disposition of the body, the widow was perfectly willing for the county authorities to do anything they wanted to with it.
 It was announced last night that the body would be prepared for burial and sent to Atlanta, where the motor of the dead man and a brother, W. D. Webb, reside. The brother of the dead man reached Birmingham at 2 o'clock yester- day afternoon from Atlanta, and began a search over the telegraph wires for w. A. Webb, the father of the deceased. The last heard of him he was working at yerbena, but it seems he has left there. Shortly before 6 o'clock last night, J. M. Tuck a brother-in-law of Webb, tele phoned the Gaudin undertaking establish ment to prepare the body for burial and send 1t to Atlanta at once
 Coroner Paris said last night that after the body had been viewed by physician he was of the opinion that the man com mitted suicide. He will not proceed any further with the investigation, and the body will be sent to Atlanta today.
 There is apparently no change fin the condition of the woman, Nora Scarborough, who was sent to Hillman hospital im- mediately after she was shot. Although very weak, she is perfectly rational and talks to the nurses when they are about her. The bullet penetrated the left breast near the heart. No word has been re- ceived from A. A. Ayres of Clanton, to whom she asked that a dispatch be ad- dressed. This request was made before she was placed in the ambulance Wednes- day. She would not say anything about AyIcS OlHcI liidi tldb 1c was iciobcu tO her
 One of the callers at the hospital yester- day was James Ellison, a brother of the widow. He was told that he could not see the Scarbrough woman as 1t might ex- cite her and jeopardize her chances for recovery. MT Ellison wanted to see if the Scarbrough womans statement would tally with the story of Dora Edwards, the negro woman, at whose house the tragedy occurred.
 There were a number of callers at the undertaking establishment yesterday to see the dead man. Among these was J. R. Jones, superintendent of the A J. Krebs Lumber company, where Webb worked as yard foreman for two months prior to the time he shot and killed him. self. MT. Jones notified the coroner that

RoYALTY,s CHRISTMAS CARDS.
Biblical Subjects Chosen by Queen
 and Princess of Wales.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Royalty sets the fashion in Christmas cards this season. An art pendant is this years absolute novelty, and both the Queen and the Princess of Wales have chosen this design for their cards. Each card Is practically a picture panel, but with this ingenious addition, that when lifted it exhibits a leaf1et greeting and a verse of a regular Christmas card at tached by a silk ribbon which acts as a hanger for the picture panel.
 Art pendant cards will be sent out both from Buckingham Palace and Marlbor- ough House. Both royal ladies have pre- ferred biblical subjects for the greeting, card pictures of the Madonna and tho Child with cherub faces in background.
 Queen Alexandra's card is remarkable

To find out for a certainty whether or not your heart is affected. One person in four has a weak heart; it may be you. If so, you should know 1t now, and save serious con- sequences. If you have short breath, fluttering, palpitation, hungry spells, hot flushes; if you cannot lie on left side; if you have fainting or smother ing spells, pain around heart, in side and arms, your heart is weak, and perhaps diseased. Dr. Miles Heart Cure will re- lieve you. Try a bottle, and see how quickly your condition will improve.
 About year ago I wrote to the Miles Medical Co.,. asking advice, as was suffering with heart trouble, and had been for two years. l had pain in my heart, back and left side, and had not been able to draw deep breath for two years. Any little exer- tion would cause palpitation, and I could not lie on my left side without suffering. They advised me to try Dr. Miles Heart Cure and Nervine, which I did with the result that I am in better health than I ever was before, having gained If pounds since I com menced taking 1t. I took about thir- teen bottles of the two medicines, and haven't been bothered with my heart since" MRS. LILLE THOMAS.

CHATTANOOGA VISITED
 BY A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
DEPOT, FREIGHT AND CARS TO THE VALUE OF $500, 1000 BURNED IN YARDS OF THE c. N. 0. T.P. RAILROAD.

Chattanooga, Tenn, September 10-At least s50O,Oo0 is the estimated loss in fire which broke out tonight in the fl eight yards of the Cincinnati, New Or leans & Texas Pacific Railway company. totally destroying the freight depot with it's entire contents, forty-two freight cars, most of which were fully loaded, two mail, two baggage cars, and the private car of Superintendent H. w. Mcclure. Four hours time was required by the combined fire departments of the city in extingushing the flames. which had spread rapidly before the alarm was turned in, on account of the difficulty the tracks made in reaching the burning point.
 The origin of the fire Is a complete mystery
 It was discovered at 6:55 D. m. by watchman. At that time flames were pouring through the roof of the freight depot, and in a few seconds they had attacked a number or cars which were standing along the tracks. An effort was made to move some of the cars, but all could not be gotten away on ac- eel unt of the density of the smoke and the intense heat. The depot itself was filled with freight. the accumulation of both Saturday and Sunday. Freight Agent c. F. Hobart states that the rail way company will suffer immensely on account of the very large amount of goods waiting shipment or delivery. The cars burned were nearly all loaded, in- eluding lumber, dressed meats, cotton goods and general manufactured cotton odu ha oar- all md of the latest model.
 While the fire was in progress, efforts were made by number of thieves to rob other cars in the vicinity, and a large fierce of police were called out to pro- tect the property. The depot had re- certly been repaired to the extent of sev- eral thousand dollars. It was used by the Cincinnati outhern, Alabama Great Southern, and the Central of Georgia railways. The fire damaged the adjoining Central depot the Cincinnati Southern shops and several large manufacturing establishments. A wind was blowing and only fine work by the fire department prevented further destruction.
