FLAGMAN FALLS
 BENEATH WHEELS
JOHN CARTER IS FATALLY lN- JURED BY A FREIGHT TRAIN IN YARDs-DIED YESTERDAY.

John Carter, a flagman employed by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, was the victim of an accident Saturday night that resulted in his death yesterday morning. He was injured shortly after midnight and the accident was witnessed by no one.
 While a yard engine was moving string of cars in the Eighteenth street yards the nagman attempted to step from on box car to another and lost his foot ing. In falling he struck the side of the car and was rendered unconscious. and when he fell across the rails he was unable to move. Ills body was badly mangled by the wheels, which passed over his chest. As soon possible med ical aid was summoned and the injured man was removed to St. Vincents hos pital It was necessary to amputate one of his legs, but he was so badly injured internally that he died yesterday.

MASTER PRINTERS
 HAVE ALL SIGNED
EIcHT-HoUR DAY WILL BE o8- SERVED HERE-ANNUAL ELEC- TON OF OFFICERS WAS HELD YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

The Birmingham Typographical union held it's annual election of officers yes- terday afternoon. There was a large at tendance and business of importance was transacted.
 A feature of the meeting was the an- nouncement that every shop that has employed union men in Birmingham had without exception agreed to the eight hour law, which will become effective January l. 1906. All newspapers have signed the scale for the eight-hour agree ment, but the measure will not become effective as far as newspapers are in- volved until Januar 13.
 The harmony that exists between the newspapers and the union job offices in Birmingham Is source of qualification to the members of the local union. In the annual election of officers the following were unanimously chosen:
 George V. Hess, president; Carl Sum ner, vice president; T T. Mock. record | ing secretary; J, M. Russell, secretary treasurer; James R. Kelley sergeant-at- arms.
 Delegates to Trades Councll-George V Hess, J. H. F. Moseley. James Leath, | Henry West and Samuel Houston. | w. M. Peterson was elected trustee | for one year.
 The question of selecting a delegate from the union to the Labor league was ! deferred to the next meeting, when the appointment will be made by the presi- | dent.
 James R. Kelly, who was again se- lected as sergeant-at-arms was the re- cipient of congratulations among the members of the, fraternity last night. When elected yesterday it made the six teenth consecutive time that the local union has honored Mir Kelley with the office. All other officers named were re- elected.
 The annual reports of officers showed the union to be in excellent shape from a financial and numerical standpoint

Birmingham RelieiousIy.

Birmingham religiously is vastly im- proved from the city of twelve years ago. I have had immense crowds at the meet ings every night. In fact the capacity of the churches and the theatre has been taxed at practically every meeting, and the results have been very gratifying. What Birmingham needs among other things Is large auditorium, where sev- eral thousand people can gather. It could be used for religious meetings, conveh- tions and gatherings where several thou sand people desire to come together under one roof.
 "The field of labor here is greater than in many other cities of equal size and population The city is still in its in- fancy, and for that reason 1t is not as advanced along religious lines as are old CT cities Only a few years ago 1t was wild mining town, and it requires time for people to be educated out of the min- ing town age. Birmingham has made great strides in her religious affairs, and there is still great room for religious movement.
 'I would suggest that Birmingham needs among other things an immense revival in which all the churches and all the denominations of the city should unite. They should form a community of interests, as 1t were, and hold revival that will shake the religious thought of the city to its very foundations.
 ",rhe churches of the world are getting in closer touch every day. Only recently A conference was held In New York look ing to closer relations among the va rious churches. That was the advance guard of the movement which will result some day in sort of general union for the advancement of religious work in all parts of the world.
 "The idea of all churches cooperating might be well put into effect in Birming- ham in a big union meeting. which believe. would result in untold good for the city.
 My meetings in Birmingham come tc a close after next Sunday, when I leave to conduct services in other cities Among other places I am going to preach at the twentieth anniversary of the Brantly church in Baltimore. I was its first pastor. and the committee in charge of the anniversary services has writteu and asked that 1 preach the sermon. The services will continue one week.
 q will preach each afternoon and even- ir~ ot the Southside Baptist church this week, and the last service will be con ducted next Sunday. l have enjoyed greatly my stay in Birmingham.
