At the Jefferson.

Shepard's moving pictures were pre- sented at the Jefferson theatre last night for return engagement. The entertain ment was excellent The pictures covered a great variety of subjects from grave to gay, and from the ludicrous to the sub lime. The pictures shown last night were entirely different from those shown here earlier in the season by Mr. Shepard, but were equally as good. This attraction reserves commendation for It's entertain ing and instructive features, as all the pictures are worth seeing, and the appa- ratus is in charge of experienced electrl- clans.
 One of the most thrilling of the stories told by the moving pictures is that of 'erhe Moonshiners." The story Is un- folded in a manner that is highly realis- tic. The scenes are correct in detail and the characters true to life. The moon sinners wife, who defends his life; still in operation, q thrilling battle with revenue officers and a running fight on road are features in this interesting series.
 Shepard's moving pictures will be shown again this afternoon and tonight

gases accumulate in c mine of this kind.
 First, is the explosive gas, composed of four parts hydrogen and one part carbon.
 Then comes what we call the after damp'-the deadliest of all gases. To in- hale it means death. It Is made up of two parts of watery vapor, one part car bonic acid and eight parts nitrogen.
 "There is also what is known as white gas This is to be found only after a blast of black or eombustible material. This gas will not explode, but is deadly to all persons who are compelled to in- hale it.
 "While at the mines I saw James Hill house, assistant state mine inspector w.. R. Fairley and other experienced miners and all agreed that it would take at least till F o'clock tomorrow before all the entombed miners could be reached.
 Inasmuch as Colonel Johns is a prac- tical mining man and is acquainted with the construction of mines and the laws governing their operation, he was asked to state his opinion regarding the condi- tion of the mines and regarding especial ly the precautions taken there to safe guard human life.
 In response to these inquiries, Colonel Johns threw up his hands deprecatingly, and, at first, declined to speak of the subject. At length, however. he made this statement:
 q am sorry you have asked me that question. To answer it truthfully pains me more than l can say. And yet the truth should be told. I can speak only for myself, and from the observations made.
 'The state law provides that all mines must have exits as well as entrances.
 T examined the Virginia mines care fully. So far as I could see the only avenues of escape were the places where the workers entered the mines.
 No, no, mol l don't want to say a word about where the responsibility be longs for this awful affair. The truth will come out in time. Meanwhile let us be patient and do what we can for the poor fellows down there and for their distressed loved ones"

The big gymnasium of the Young Mems Christian association was filled with visi- tors last night at the basket ball games. The Trianges succeeded in finishing the evening with 1000 per cent to their credit by defeating Charles Massey's Crescents.
 The game was close and was filled with brilliant plays. J. B.

Mckinney and Henry Chairsell dis played some fine passing from which they netted six points.
 The Stars and Diamonds also did some fine work and neither seemed to be able to climb higher than two points above the opponent until the last five minutes of play. Brittan, the smallest man in the league, was fairly cheered for his two scores. Estes threw seven goals during the game and made the vic- tory fact for the Stars. Lawson, Wei land and Franklin each scored more than once and each time after brilliant team play The Y. M. c.

Vulcan isn't the only thing that's estatu quo.a
 Jefferson county roads are in the same fix.
 From Blount to Bibb and from Tusea- loosa to St. Clair the highways of Jeffer- son county are in bad shape.

 Traffic over the roads in many portions of the county is almost impossible. Tn all portions transit is slow and difficult.
 So long as the rain keeps up the road overseers are well nigh helpless.
 The road beds are washing away. Deep gulleys are numerous. The sides ara at many points perpendicular. The wet elinging clay tires the horses and makes the vehicles drag along the highways.

 The Board of Revenue will encourage the overseers to put on a heavy force and get the roads into shape as rapidly as possible.
 The question of working eonviets on the road is being agitated again. It may be that a number of them will be util- ized. though the board prefers to employ only free labor.
