PROMINENT POLITICIANS
 GATHER IN MONTGOMERY
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, September 30.-(Special.)- There was a foregathering of statesmen and politicians here yesterday and today that makes the city look as if a legisia- ture had already followed the convincing letter of Sydney J. Bowie, congressman from the Fourth Alabama district. MT. Bowie was among them talking of the treasury surplus as If he had had inti- mate acquaintance with such things from his days of knickerbockers and telling how easy 1t will be to refund or buy in those bonds with profit and credit to every interest connected with them
 Colonel Bankhead, who looks after the affairs of the Sixth district in the lower house at Washington, had arrived late in the day from Birmingham, after mak- ing a trip to Mobile in the interest of the Tombigbee river, and new survey of the stream, needed by the rivers and harbors committee, of which he Is a member, for the fall session. He did not look as if the naval hero, Captain Hobson, was giving him much worry, and smoked his big cigar with an appearance of conf dence that was reassuring to his friends.
 Saw the Governor.
 At one of the small tables in the big dining room of Yungs cafe, Captain Bankhead was joined by Dr. R. M. Gun ningham, lieutenant governor and candi- date for governor, and the two spent an hour over their chops and eggs. After that they called up Governor William D. Jelks at his home on Bainbridge street and went around to pay their respects, re- maining for a short time before retiring at the Imperial hotel
 Another distinguished man came Tn late in the person of Congressman William richardson of Huntsville. who fell heir to the seat in the national house when Gen. Joe Wheeler responded to the call to arms in the campaign of 1898. Like Colonei Bankhead Mir. Richardson Is very much interested in waterways, having the Ten nessee river in his district. However, MT. Richardson comes to attend next Monday the meeting of the trustees of the state department of archives and history. In which branch of the public service he is just now taking much interest. He re- gards the work being done by Dr. Thomas M, Owen, director of the department, as of vast value to all the people of the state.
 Coming Statesmen.
 The meeting of the state railroad com mission had brought President B. B. Conner of Birmingham, and his associates, Col w. C. Tunstall of Greensboro and Col w. T. Sanders of Athens to the city. Colonel Tunstall met his friend and long time associate on the commission, Col. John " Smith, and they went around to Yung's for a bite and a Hong talk" while MT. Conner broke bread with his son-in-law, the Hon. J. Craig Smith, at his palatial home on Church street, and

The first shot took effect in the lower part of the back and 1t an. pears that on Lewis turning to face lis assailant the contents of the other bar rel of the gun was fired into his right shoulder The deceased and his brother Lee, who was present say there was never any trouble with Slaton known to either of them
 Slaton and Nelson on leaving this place went. it seems. to Wetumpka. and from thence across the country to Coosa coun- ty.
