Causes Sensation in Paris.

Paris, February 1.-The assassination of Grand Duke Sergius caused sensation here and is everywhere discussed as an- other of the long series of Russian hor- TOTS. The officials referred to the tragedy as being part of singular line of fattal- tiles.
 The Temps says: "It is easy to see why Grand Duke Sergius was marked out as a victim of the revolutionists as among all the uncles of the Emperor Sergius had the greatest influence upon him. It was known that the Emperors valuable efforts were checked through Sergius, who in particular recently opposed the appeal of the provincial delegates.
 "The Grand Duke was unpopular in Moscow. owing to his naughty demeanor and hard reactionary spirit although the Grand Duchess Elizabeth was popularly adored Recently she was warned not to appear with her husband, which meant that her assassination had been decided upon. It is significant that the assassin pursued the plans as on the occasion of the assassination of the late interior minister von Plehve."

MAN ARRESTED ON
 SERIOUS CHARGE
w. r. LYONS ACCUSED OF STEAL. ING FROM GORDON WOODRUFF. WHO LIVES IN DALLAS, TEX.
 AND IS WELL KNOWN IN B'HAM,

w. T. Lyons, a white man. was ar. rested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton on a charge ot grand larceny. He will be held in the city jail until Gordon Woodruff, who represents the Jesse French Piano and Organ company in Dallas, Tex. can com4 and prosecute him.
 On December last Woodruff was taken in tow by three white fellows, who got him under the influence of intoxicants and robbed him of practically everything that they could carry off with them. Lyons admits being with Woodruff, but denies having anything to do with the larceny.
 On the night of the robbery the af- fair started at the Senate saloon. and there the three white fellows put Wood ruff in hack and carried him first to the Opera House hotel, where they were refused admittance. then they went to the Waddel house on the "Bowery' where a room was secured. Woodruff was put to bed, and his overcoat, coat hat watch. $S5 in money and ! few other articles of wearing apparel were stolen. A hat ans a coat belonging to one of the thieves were left him. He reported the matter to the police and they have been on the trail of the gang since.

ENGINES ARE SENT
 UP TO CINCINNATI
TWO WHICH BROKE DOWN AT FIRE TEN WEEKS AGO WILL BE PUT IN ORDER AT ONCE.

The two fire engines which were dam aged at in fire on First avenue and Twenty-first street two weeks ago have been sent to Cincinnati and are being re- paired. The engines left Birmingham Tuesday morning and a telegram was received yesterday from the American Fire Engine company that they had ar rived and that work would be commenced on them at once.
 It will require about two months to put the engines into condition. and when they come back they will be practically new, with the exception of the running gear which is as good as could be desired. They are thirdclass engines and will be placed on the Highlands, one on the South Highlands and the other on the North Highlands.
 The engines are so light that they can be easily drawn over the hills by two horses. and they are effective at any res idence fires. They can also be brought down into the city very quickly in case of large fire in the business section In the meantime the two borrowed en- zines are doing excellent servie

ANOTHER SLAP AT
 STANDARD OIL co.
KANSAS LEGISLATURE, WITHOUT DISSENTING VOTE, MAKES PIPE
 LINES COMMON CARRIERS.
 MUST NOW CARRY STATES OIL.

Topeka, Kan, February H-The Kansas house today, without a dissenting vote, passed the bill making oil pipe lines com mon carriers This is the second of the series of bills directed against the Stan dard oil company, and was strongly op- posed by the Standard interests. It has already passed the Senate and will be signed by the governor. With out this bill, the refinery plan could not have been carried out successfully. owing to lack of pipe lines, owned by the state. Now, however, the state oil can be piped through the Standards lines.
 The antl-dscrimination bill, designed to prevent the Standard from underselling the state refinery, will be made a special order for next Monday This bill makes it unlawful for any commodity to be sold in any one town of the state lower than in. another except such differences as may be necessary through freight rates. Thus the Standard will be prevented from cutting the price of oil to meet the state price any place in the state, unless it reduces the price for the whole state. A big fight is being waged on the bill by Kansas jobbers, as its provisions apply to all others as well as the Standard. The oil producers expect to be able to secure it's passage, however. The anti-discrim- inaticn bill threatens o hold up the House railroad bill to obtain it's end.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Princess chIc.s

Miss Sophie Brandt, who appeared last night at the Jefferson theatre in the popular opera comique. "The Princess Chic" is prima dona soprano of marked talent. Miss Brandts voice has sweet ness, fiexibility and strength, while she is also endowed with a very winning per sonality. Were the opera presented on a scale merited by Miss Brandt it would be brilliant. As 1t Is the performance and the production are in the main pleasing but not pretentious The company is characterized by more singing than act ing ability and the ensemble numbers were at times very pleasing. There are some good voices in the company in addi- tion to that of Miss Brandt, notably that of Miss Mathlde Preevle, George Calla- han. George Thomas and Gus Vaughn.
 'The Princess Chic will be repeated at matinee this afternoon and again to- night. Musically. the opera is very good and it Is well worth a trip to the Jefferson to hear 14iss Brandt sing.
