HOW ELECTRICITY CAME.

An account of the installation of a
new Government electric lighting plant
for street illumination published in the
Advertiser the other day has recalled
to an acquaintance of long residence
the report of a debate in the Legisla-
ture of twenty years ago. 1t was on a
proposed appropriation for an electric
light plant for the palace, to which
reference was made in the description
of the plant just installed.
A 'grave and reverend seigniorn of
the House of Mobiles, who is still hale
and hearty, mildly opposed the item.
He said that the electric light was still
but scientific toy elsewhere. A news.
paper reporting his remarks made the
comment that seven years previously
the electric light was used upoh
wharves on the Atlantic seaboard to
facilitate the loading ard unloading of
cargoes in night shifts, also that Ameri-
can cities not handicapped by old gas
contracts We're at that very time bril-
liantly Illuminated by electricity.
1t was left, though, to Minister of
the Crown now long since dead-to
cap the climax. He wanted that
toy for King Kalakaua and accord

 Lost gQm

Lost Sen.
 Decatur. Dec. 8.-tSpeclal. )--A re- ward has been offered by w. c. Clark for the finding of his, son, either dead or alive"
 t Tillman Clark disappeared from this city on the night of December 4, and since that time nc trace of him has been found. although his father is of the belief that he was robbed and then murdered and his body thrown into the Tennessee River.
 MT. Clark says he Is led to believe this from certain evidence which he has secured. The young man had over $1O0 on his person when he disappeared. A strange young man whc gave his name of Thompson is being held on suspicion.
 Tuman Clark was 1S years of age, weight 135, medium light hair. dark complexion, smooth face with no beard He is a country boy and resided with his father five miles from this city He was unfamiliar with city life and Was merely a country youth.
 The whole neighborhood where the young man lived i2 very mnch wrought up orT the mysterious djsup! earanre of the young man.

It is known that the citys excellent chance for the college is due to the generosity and devotion of three wealthy citizens of Montgomery, Messrs. Vandiver, Flowers and Hough- ton. It Is known that each of these gentlemen have announced their pur- pose of making large contributions to the college endowments in the event 1t should come this way. Moreover, oth- CT Methodists and other patriotic citi zens of Montgomery stand ready to help in the great work.
 The newspaper Q reader is familiar with the circumstances which has given Montgomery the prospect of great educational institution. The plan in a nutshell is the consolidation of the two Alabama Methodist Colleges for boys, the one at Greensboro, and the one 3 Owenton, in one strong col lege, which is to be located at Owen ton. It embraces as we'll the consoli- dation of the two Methodist Colleges for young ladies, the one at Athens and the one at ThskeEee. The consolidat- ed college will be located at Montgom- cry. In other words the Alabama Con ference and the North Alabama Con- ference will unite in one college for boys which will be located at Owen- ton and they will unite in one college for girls which will be located at Montgomery
 The report of a joint committee making such recommendations has been adopted by both Conferences. A commission has been appointed to con- fer over the details of the consollda- tion, The ultimate success of this plan of consolidation is not doubted in the least by well informed Methodists. although the consolidation has not yet been effected.

TO BORROW MONEY
SCHOOL BOARD OF PENSACOLA FACES PROBLEM.
Funds in Treasury of Escambia County are Exhausted and Teachers are AnxiOusly Awaiting Their,
 Christmas Coin.

Pensacola. Fla, Dec. S.-(Special)- J. With no money in the treasury, the School Board of Escambia County is raced with the problem of either hay ing teachers of the county welt for their salaries until taxes are collected. or else negotiate loan for an amount suthctent not only to meet the pay roll of over $I0OO for November, but also Tor other months to follow. .-. -@
 The borrowing of money will be the plan adopted and negotiations for about $2QO0O will be opened by the Board at once. The Board was compelled to adopt this method last month to pav the salaries of the teachers, amount ing to over $6.000. as the tax collec- amount and from indications this will be continued until some time during the early months of the coming year.
 The county offers no inducement for the early payment of taxes and as the taxpayers have until June until they become delinquent, they naturally do not see the necessity of meeting their indebtedness six months in advance of the date necessary and as ccnse- quence each year when the schools of Of the county begin operations there is no money to pay the salaries of teachers. The School Board, at ifs meeting today. discussed the n1attor ana Will make arrangements for secur- ing money. Another matter considered by the body was the petition of teach CTS for salaries for one week. which were deducted during the period the school building were in such corfIi tion that they could not he used as n result of the September hurricane. Tho schools were to have Oprncd few, davs after the storm occurred, Eut for this reason the opening was postponed for one week. The Board declined to grant the request.

beyond where the extension of the Madison Avenue joins ths%road. It is a scant two miles from the heart of the city and is close neighbur to the new suburb of Montgomery Capital Heights It is easily reached. The double track of the Montgomery Traction Company runs directly in front of the property. touches it and the Mount Meigs Road runs in front of It. It is, moreover reached by a street running from High land Park which Is nearby. In ac- feasibility, no suburban property of the city IS more desirable.
 The common report, moreover, has it that MT Houghton proposes, if the girls college should be located in Montgomery, not only to donate this fine piece of property but to give the college cash donation as well It is to be understood that this statement is made on report and not on a direct as- sertlon from Mir. Houghton.
 The news from Eufaula delighted Montgomery Methodists. They confl- dently believe that the action of the Conference means the bringing of the Female College of the two Conferences to Montgomery. They believe, more- over, that now is the accepted time for the establishment of a college in Mont gomery, which will receive the hearty support and cooperation or all the city's citizens Of Montgomery.
 "A great opportunity has come our way and we have embraced it." said one of the best known Methodists of Montgomery. T do not know whether to congratulate the Methodists of the State or to congratulate the city of Montgomery. Montgomery wants a college more than 1t wants any other one thing. This wish is felt not only by the Methodists, but by the members of all denominations. l have never seen q proposition meet with such gen eral favor as this proposition to put the Girls College here in Montgomery.
 'l am in a position tc tell you that we have not Cnly been offered a free site for the college but we have al- ready been offered an endowment of $l20,000 voluntarily and freely. We have that much promised without an effort. This of course can be greatly Increased when the prospects of the college arc definite. Now, as to the details Of these offers you will excuse me if l don't discuss them. You see. all definite arrangements have not vel been made. The prospects for the ln- cation of the college in Montgomery are excellent. but as yet they are only prospects. The final definite decision is yet to be made"

SITE OF METHODISTS' GIRLS
 COLLEGE MAY BE "MORNINGVIEW''

Houghton preferred not to deny or con firm the report.
 T expect to help the college, if it is located in Montgomery" said Mr' Houghton. But you see while the prospects favor its location in this city still its establishment here is by no means certain. l have not yet given the property you allude 10 in YouT question, to the college, Many things may yet happen. before the college Is definitely located. l mag say that l have become deeply interested in the cause of education and that it Is my purpose to help the college of the two Alabama conferences if It is located in Montgomery But you will easily see that the plans of helping the proposed college depend upon the final decision .of the location of the college
 If the guarded statement of MT. Houghton is taken at it's worth, togcth- Ter with the reports that are current concerning 1t. 1t may bs believed that there is the strongest sort of probabi4l- ty of it's ultimate location on the beau tiful country place known as Morn lngview." It is known chat Dr. John 4. Rice and a number of other promi- nent MethodIsts of the State have gone out with MI. HOughton and looked over his country place Jn the hill Tn the outskirts of the city. They have DbGH impressed WAlh AtS pbS6lDlAALy d9 the site of a college. IL iB known, too that Mir. Houghton, who IS one of the wealthiest citizens of Montgomery, has become deeply interested in the cause of Methodist education.
 If 1t should so happen that the wo- man s college of the two Alabama Con- ference should be located In Mont gom"ry, as now seems certain, no fin CT site could be secured than this country place of MT. Houghton. which joins one of the suburbs of the city. Since it has come into his possession, Mir. Houghton has beautificd 1t in various ways. He has built beautiful gravel roads through 1t and ornament ed it with costly shade and fruit trees. In its orHamentatiou. he has given his personal attention. Visitors to Elec- trie Park easily remember it IL is to the right of the track of the Montgom- cry fraction Company on the opposite aide Of the Mount Meigs Road, just

of Cliff Way, the young man who is confined in the county jail here on the charge of having murdered Policeman J. Lem Jones at resort on the river front on the night of November 24. The habeas corpus trial was therefore dismissed.
 The writ of arrest under which Way is held was sworn out before Justice of the Peace D. B. Morrow and was made returnable before Mir. Morrow on December T. On account of the habeas corpus writ having been granted Mir. Morrow continued the preliminary trial yesterday until December IS, at which time the preliminary trial win be had In the meantime Way will be held in jail.
 The accused. Cliff Way, resides near Moulton, Lawrence County, and is said to stand, well there. He has retained Judge O. Kyle and Col. s. T. Vert as his counsel The case will be pros ecuted by Solicitor David C. Almon and City Attorney William W. Callahan.
 The case is attracting much atten- ton both in this county and in Law renee County, Ways home. A large crowd was at court this morning when Way was brought into court, but quiet reigned and no trouble is anticipated.
 A negro boy by the name of Tom Williams. but better known as Pepper Dick" got in bad this morning. He stepped into the retail department of w. w. Garnetts wholesale and re- tail grocery store on Bank Street. and seeing the door of the safe open de- cided to investigate.
 He got away with over S2OO in cash, but was later arrested and locked up. When searched at the station house some 3f the money and a dangerous looking gun was found on his person. His trial has not been set vet.

Is the Beautiful Place of
 MT. Houghton. SUCH IS CREDITED REPORT Mr. Houghton is Awaiting Decision
 of Alabama MethodiStS, HePrefers Not to Discuss the Reports --MontgOmery JubIIant over the Prospect for Girls college.

The joint college of the Alabama and the North Alabama Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will in all probability, be located in Montgomery. The site of the college will in all prob ability be on the high and beautiful hiII east of where the extension of Madison Avenue and the Mount Meigs Road join each other.
 It is more probable that the college in which all Montgomery takes a pecul- jar and personal interest, will be lo- cated at the beautiful county place of Hon. Mitchell B. Houghton, called 'Morningview and which is just he yond the junction of the Mount Meigs Road and the extension of Madison Avenue. It Is understood that MT Houghton will give to the college free of all charge. the title of this beauti- ful place consisting of forty odd acres. It is a lovely place, whether 1t be used as the site of a home oI the site of a college.
 Mir. Houghton was not inclined to discuss the rumOr that he had made offering of this property as a ste for Che college which will m all proDablu- tY. Do located in Montgomery. Mir.
