OF Police Brennan said he was satisfied

MINERS ARE FOUND
 DEAD AT ATTALLA
HAD GONE BELOW TO INVESTI. GATE SOME TROUBLE REPORT. ED BY MINERS WHO HAD JUST COME OUT.

Gadsden, April 12-(Special.)-Two min- CTS, Bob Heald, white, and Horace Will liams colored, were found dead in the ore mines of the Consolidated Coal and Iron company in Attalla about o'clock Wednesday morning, and their death is a mystery.
 Two shifts are worked at the mines and some time after midnight the air became foul and the fifteen miners came up from the lower entry. which is three- quarters of mile from the opening After the men came up Bob Heald. who oper- ates the pump said he was going down to see what was the trouble, and the ne- gro volunteered to go with him. These. men were gone so long the waiting min CTS became alarmed and one of the num- Der volunteered to go down anu see what was the trouble. When he reached the entry where was located the pump the negro Williams was found lying flat on his back barely breathing, while Reald sat upright against the pump cold in death. The alarm was given and the men re- moved.
 No cause has been ascertained for the death of these two men. Some say that the air tubes became dry and the air pumped into the mines was hot and the men suffocated to death. An investigation will be made.

MISS HOWARD WEEDEN
 DIES IN HUNTSVILLE
Was Among the Best Known Artists and Writers the South Has
 Produced.

Huntsville, April 12.-(Special.) Miss Howard Weeden, the authoress, died at few minutes past midnight at her home in this city from consumption, with which she has been suffering several months. She had been confined to her home several weeks in critical condi- tion and her brothers and sisters have been at her bedside several days in an- ticipation of the sad event. Her imme- diate surviving relatives are Col. John D. Weeden of Florence, Dr. H. V. Weed en of Selma, Mrs. Reed of Mobile and Miss Kate Weeden of this city She be- longed to one of the oldest and most ar istoeratic families in this section, was a native of Huntsville and remained here as a resident all her life. She was one of the south's famous women and death came to her while she was at the height of her popularity as an author.
 Miss Weeden's remarkable talents as an artist and poetess have been known to her intimate friends from childhood, but 1t was not until about five years ago, after the publication of her first book, "Bandana Ballads" that the literary and artistic world was made aware of them. Shadows on the Wall' following soon after, served to confirm the opinion the critics had formed of her. "Old Voices" appeared during the holiday season of last year and this is said to be her master piece. Her books depicted the faces and expressed the sentiments in verse of old time southern negroes, such as were found on the plantations and in the families of the southern people before the civil war. Miss Weeden had made life study of the characters of the ne- gro servants In her home and the pro- duets of her brush and pen are unique and unsurpassed in art and literature. Personally Miss Weeden was a most lovable woman and her death is a great loss to a large number of warm friends in Huntsville as well as wherever she has visited.

be the fighting spirit which Vaughan in- stills into his athletes and they are liable to break loose at any moment with three or four runs, as they did against Cleve- land. Harry Matthews is the backstop mainstay, while the slab corps Is doing first-class work. Hafford is showing great form at third, while Murdock, in the outfield, Is another who should rank high among the best in Dixie. Birming- ham looks to be well represented"
 MT. Rice is right in general, but he Is wrong in one particular. The Barons will hardly be considered slow on the path. Hafford promises to establish a record In base running. and judging from past performances he should steal about forty-five bases this year. The records of the other players last year in stolen bases was as follows: Vaughan, A; Schiap, 23; Moore, 19; Miller, S3; Dele hanty, 1T; Wilkie Clarke, IS; Matthews, 25; Murdock, A. and Ward, 5. This is an average of 23 stolen bases per man, and there is every reason to believe that the average will be increased this year. Moore. Schiap, Delehanty, Clarke and Ward should increase their number of stolen bases this year.
 The United Confederate veterans of Au- gusta are opposing the game scheduled for Memorial Day in that town. They contend that the day should be observed very much as Sunday and that no form of amusements should be allowed. They threaten to petition the legislature to prohibit all kinds of amusements on Me morial Day.
