TWO ARE KILLED
 IN FRISCO WRECK
SLAG TRAIN PLUNGES THROUGH TRESTLE ABOUT 12 MILES FROM BIRMINGHAM-THE CONDUCTOR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Two men were killed one seriously in- jured and one badly injured yesterday morning at 3 o'clock when an extra freight train of slag on the Frisco went through trestle between Pratt City and Adamsville, 12 miles northwest of Bir- mingham.
 The dead are Walter Howard. age 22 years, and his brother. Arthur Howard, age ? years. Conductor R. E. Howard was seriously but not necessarily fatally injured and Flagman Thomas H. Steele was badly injured.
 A broken rail caused the accident. The railroad seems in no way responsible for the accident, as the rail was in good con- dtion on the track inspection only d short time previous to the wreck.
 The train was crossing a trestle about GO feet high. When the rail broke the caboose and fourteen cars loaded with slag went down. The engine remained on the track The two Howard brothers wbo were killed were buried under the slag They were stealing a ride on the train They lived at Wylam and the bodies were sent there yesterday afternoon.
 Conductor Howard, who is brother of J. w. and T. D. Howard, was on th' rear end of the train. One of his arms was broken in two places and the other was broken in one place. He receiVet internal Injuries and his hip was bruised At St. Vlncent's hospital last night Il wal stated that he would probably re- cover. although he was not resting well Arthur Howard was not killed outright

MAYORS, LIKE WOMEN,
 CAN CHANCE MINDS

A feeling of sentiment and apprecia- tion was displayed at the meeting of the city guardians last night when the elec- tlon of the insignificant office of assistant custodian of the city hall came up for consideration.
 The position has been held for some years by Thomas Jeffries at one time chief executive of Birmingham and in the pioneer days a man of prestige and standing. In his prime when possessed of this worlds good Uncle Tom Jeffries was among the first of Birmingham s citizens and has done much in the in- terest of the city when Birmingham was only a struggling municipality.
 He was placed in nomination last night for reelection as assistant city custo- dian. When the nomination had been made and all was quiet Mayor Ward arose and in g. few words entered a pro- test against the election of such an of ficial. He stated that when a candidate for mayor he had promised that he would do all in his power to eliminate useless offices and he further said that he believed that the position of assist ant city hall custodian was nothing more than clnecure and for that reason he did not think MT. Jefferes should be elected.

CHURCH AND STATE
 ARE SEPARATE NOW
French Senate Passes Bill by
 Vote of 181 to 102
AMID ENTHUSIASTIC SCENES
Public Worship Budget Decreased From $s,4oo, 1000 to $6,9oo, ,ooo-Sys-
 tenn Dating From 1901 Swept
 Away-CIergy Will Conform.

Paris, December 6.--The Senate today after long debate adopted the bill for the separation of church and state by vote of 1S1 against 102 The vote was announced amid enthusiastic scenes. This Is the final parliamentary stage of the bill, which will now be promulgated in the Official Journal tomorrow, when 1t will become effective immediately.
 The action of the vatican regarding the law has not been definitely announced.
 The French clergy while opposing the measure, appear to be disposed to con form to the new system.
 The public worship budget of 1906 will be reduced from ss.4O00o0 to nearly s6,- 800 600. consequent on the gradual dimnu- ton of the salaries paid by the state to the clergy.
 The fundamental principles of the bills ensure liberty of conscience respecting religion with restrictions concerning the exercise of religion, which are intended to preserve public order.
 The bill for the separation of church and state passed the chamber of deputies July 3, by the decisive vote of 341 to 233 It's final passage marks the continuation of the strained relations which have long existed between the French government and the vatican. It sweeps away a sys tenn which dates from 1891 when the fa- nous concordat was signed by Plus VII, and Napoleon. This gave religion gov ernmental status, the churches being gov ernment property, with clergy paid by the state, and the entire church admin istration being under the direction of a member of the Presidents cabinet

Alderman Harry Jones, in a brief state- ment said that he did not agree with the mayor that the office was sinecure. He said that Thomas Jeffries, Uncle Tom, had in days gone by proven hiss worth to Birmingham and he did not think he should now be forgotten. AS long as Uncle Tom has a pair of legs to get up and down the stairs of the city hall l will vote for him, and hope that he will be able to receive the pitiful sum of $40 which the position pays" said Alderman Jones.
 Aldermen J. R. Copeland, Fulghum and others said they would vote in favor of the election of MT. Jeffries, which caused the mayor to announce that he was not op- posed to the candidate, but that he be- lieved the office a unless one.

Last Nights Congregation at St. Pauls Largest of the Week-High
 Feast Tomorrow.

The attendance at St. Paul church last night was the largest since Sunday. when the mission started. The mission fathers express themselves as being greatly grat- flied at the interest which Catholics are taking in the services of the week.
 Last night the Fev. Father Flanagan said the rosary and explained the use and profit of Catholic prayer books.
 The Rev. Father Mcdonald preached the sermon his theme being Christian Mar riage." He emphasized the fact that mar riage is a sacrament among Catholics and cannot be dissolved. What God hath joined together let no man put asunder." .'Marriage." said the speaker ''eievates and sanctifies love, protects the interests of the child, is a barrier to lawless pas sion and builds up Christian state, as it is the source of the richest benefits and blessings to humanity. It should be entered into with proper motives and pre- pared for by pure lives.
 Like all the sacraments of Christ" the preacher continued, it is in the keeping of the church, and she alone has the right to legislate in matters that safeguard it."
 The mission this week Is for Catholics. Next Sunday a mission for non-Catholics will be opened and will continue through the week. The missioners will answer all questions deposited in the query box.
 The mission for children closed .yester- day afternoon with the Papal benedictpn. which the mission fathers are delegated to give. r ta sS

IRISH NATIONALISTS
 INSIST ON HOME RULE

London, December 6.-The nationalists' convention, so far as todays proceedings were concerned, resolved itself into an uncompromising home rule meeting
 Resolutions were passed denouncing the government of Ireland, outlawing O'Brien and his supporters unless they signed the party pledges. expressing disbelief in the promises of the liberals and pledging ab- solute support to John Redmond as leader of the Irish parliamentary party.
 The moderates were howled down and their speakers forced to leave the plat form.
 The convention will continue tomorrow but there is no evidence that the incoming liberal government can expect more sup port from the nationalists in the next par liament than the unionists have received unless Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman n declares unreservedly for home rule.
