FLETCHER HANGED
 AT 1O.S4 O'CLOCK
NEGRO SHOWED CoMPoSURE IN REMARKS ON SCAFFoLD-BAP. TlzED AS LAWRENcE-HED DIED IN IA MINUTES AFTER DROP.

On the gallows in the jail yard yester- day morning at 10:34 o'clock. Earle Fletcher, the negro murderer, paid the penalty of his crime He hung at the end of a rope fourteen minutes before he was pronounced dead by the doctors in attendance.
 An hour before his execution he was baptised by the Rev. Father Murphy. as Lawrence the day being the Feast of St. Lawrence. the martyr
 Fletcher was hanged for the murder of Robert Payne. a negro at Flat Top. where both were prisoners He was serving fifteen year sentence for shooting to death q negro named Harris at West End church.
 On the scaffo1d yesterday he made some remarks in which he said that he did not kill Harris. but admitted that he murdered Payne, as he claimed, in self defense. Fietcher's scaffold speech was principally a protest against the author ites for not granting him writ of habeas corpus on the plea of insanity. His attorney. J F. Knight made an ef- fort to secure the stay and Governor Jelks had Dr. Nat c. Clarke. physician convict inspector, examine Fletcher con corning his mental condition who reported that he was perfectly sane. Fletcher said that the causes of his crime were whisky and gambling: that he was brought up in the right way at home, but that his habits had led him astray.
 Fletcher accepted his fate very cooly. He slept pretty well the night before his execution. ate breakfast when he got up and not long before he was led out into the jail yard he enjoyed q saucer of lee cream. On his way to the gallows he smoked cigar. While talking with Felix Blair. a negro prisoner in the jail whom he asked 10 see. Fletcher seemed to have an excess of religious fervor He told his friend that he going to better land
 Father McDermott. an assistant priest at St Pauls Catholic church for the past week has paid daily visits to Fletcher's cell seeking 10 give him the solace of faith Yesterday he and the Rev Father Murphy of the Immaculate Conception, the eolored Catholic church, gave him their priestly council.

STRANGER ROBBED
 OF $23.11 IN MONEY
RAILROAD MAN AND SANDWICH DISTURBED FELL CITY MAN, WHO HAD A "SPICY" LITTLE AD. VENTURE.

An overly warm fraternal feeling for railroad men and few other minor pro- clivities was the cause of young Lonnie Woods of Pell City being short $23.11 of the good coin yesterday morning. not to mention a probable shaky feeling about his digestive apparatus. The upshot of his little adventure was that he had to spend some hours in the Hillman hos pital yesterday afternoon undergoing treatment.
 According to the statement of the young man, he had come to this city a few days ago for the purpose of seek ing work Yesterday afternoon at about 1 o'clock he was sauntering down First avenue when he met a man whom he took to be d railroad employe An ac- auaintance was struck up and the Pell City man suggested a convivial drink In a nearby wet goods emporium. which was accordingly taken. The new-found friend then wished to return the favor and a side step was taken into another bar down the street. The refreshment here consisted of two mugs and two sandwiches the latter of which seemed 10 DallAkt or lHt naNult pt AAi'i N' A''N tamales. This pungency Woods remarked and spoke of 1t to his companion, who said that his sandwich was also unbear- ably warm
 Things began to grow q little misty then and the friends left the saloon When they had got out on the sidewalk the "hot stuff was getting in it's work and Woods began to feel himself sinking away. The next he knew he was In the ambulance of the Green Undertaking company, on his way to the hospital When picked up. the lower part of his body seemed to be paralyzed and It was thought that he had been dangerously poisoned in some way. Examination at the hospital, however, showed that while he had probably been administered some simplifying drug, the effects were already beglnning to wear off, and in a short lime he was able to go his way.
 Sad to relate the Pell City youth claims that during the course of his short forgetfulness, the railroad friend and the S2311 which he had in his pocket both disappeared.

MECHANICAL STOKER
 CAUSES TROUBLE
STREET CAR SERVICE HAS BEEN DELAYED-GENERAL MANAGER EMERY EXPLAINS THE CAUSE AND PROMISES RELIEF.

There has been much complaint in Bir- mingham for the past few days about the street car service. number of letters have been written to the officials of the company in regard to the matter and yer bal complaint has been made also. The electric power has given out on sev- eral occasions. and all or part of the | street railway system have been tied up for periods of time varying from five to fifteen minutes.
 General Manager Emery yesterday ex- plained the difficulty and also stated that within the next week 1t will be remedIed by adding another battery of boilers to those now in commission.
 lie said that for some unknown reason the new automatic stoking apparatus. in- stalled at the expenditure of s2o0. .o0O has not worked as well as it should. and as the company had reason to expect. Al ! times, he said, the coal on the automatic chains which feed 1t under the boilers will not burn, and that the engineers are unable to Account for this condition. E. L. Baldwin, one of the most eminent mechanical engineers in the country. as well as one of the best engineers of Ford. Bacon x Davis, are in Birmingham to ex- anime the entire outfit installed. and re- port on what is the matter MT. Baldwin arrived yesterday and he has been in- specting the plant and the apparatus all day. As soon as he reports the company will make what improvements or aItera- ! tons necessary 10 bring the automatic stoking apparatus up to the requirements or remedy anything else that he finds the matter.
 MT. Emery also said that the company had employed the best engineers in the country, Ford, Bacon Davis, on it's construction work in Birmingham. When it took up the matter of automatic stok CTS this firm called into consultation the best engineers who have made speciality of automatic stolers and the conditions for the successful operation of them. These engineers decided on the plant in- stalled. He also stated that the com pany Is using the same kind of coal that used when they considered the mat ter and they took the coal into consider atlon in making their decision The condi- tions are the same now that they were when the engineers had the matter under consideration.
 Next week another battery of boilers will be placed in commission, and Mr Emery said he could assure the people that they would have the service The trouble comes hard on the company when 1t Is trying so hard to give Birmingham perfect service. he concluded

VEGETABLES ARE
 BECOMING SCARCE
BEANS AND GREEN PEAS ARE AL MOST GONE AND OTHER VEG- ETABLES HAVE DISAPPEARED LTOGETHER-FlSH DULL

The season for vegetables this year green stuff suitable to Alabama soil and climate having been supplied in the great est plenty, but it Is now beginning to wane. Many of the vegetables are becom- ing very scarce. some having disappeared from the stands altogether, and of course prices are going up.
 In the retail market beans and peas are nearly all gone The price quoted on beans is three quarts for 20 cents and on peas two quarts for 15 cents. Corn is plentiful at 20 cents per dozen ears and cabbage still commands a good sale at 3 cents per pound The best tomatoes are quoted at 20 and 25 cents per dozen and squashes can be procured for cents each. New Irish potatoes sell for 30 cents per peck. Sweet potatoes are scarce and high but still they sell readily at 90 cents per peck Egg plant is priced at 10 cents each
 The grocer's trade in chickens. eggs and butter is no small item at the present The public to some extent has aban- dOne0 peer ana pOrk anu lldS ItSOlleu to chickens and eggs. Fouls are quoted at prices ranging from 20 to 40 cents each according to size. Candled eggs are in brisk demand at 221a cents per dozen. Country butter very little of which Is used for the table. sells for 25 cents per pound and the best quality creamery but ter at S5 cents.
 The fish market is very dull on account of the hot weather which Is always un- favorable to the trade. Then. too. most of the popular varieties of fish are out of season at the present and are hard to procure. Oysters will begin to reach Birmingham about the middle of this month, but will not be in general and family use until October.
 Fruits continue great favorites, but with the exception of apples the supply is very short Good peaches which were thrown away by the crate on Morris ave- nue several weeks ago, are now com paratively rare and cannot be procured for less than 40 cents per basket. New apples are quoted at 20 and 30 cents per peck and watermelons at an average of 30 cents each. cantaloupes are fast dis appearing from the market and the sup ply now on hand Is somewhat scrubby. selling at to 15 cents each.

At the meeting of the Commercial club yesterday afternoon w. B. Leedy intro duced resolution anent the reelection l of Stuyvesant Fish as president of the Illinois Central railroad, which was sec- onded by Rufus N. Rhodes and unanl- | mously carried
 Several members of the club discussed 1 the resolution, stating that from personal knowledge or from hearsay they knew MT Fish to be an ideal American citi- zen and man who would do much for the Birmingham district when his rail- road commenced operating its trains into ! this city. They spoke of the efforts of the road to upbuild the country through which 1t operated and stated that it had never failed to be a source of unbound ed benefit to those communities.
 Following is the resolution which was adopted
 Whereas the officers and members of the Commercial club of Birmingham. Ala bama, have assurances of the press that the efforts recently made to oust MT. stuyvesant Fish from the presidency of the Illinois Central Railroad company have failed, and
 Whereas, the Illinois Central railroad under the administration of Mir Fish is an important factor in the upbuildng of the Birmingham district, and a sure and steady stay and prop to the develop ment of the districts penetrated by it., irrespective of the particular locality and MT. Fish Is recognized by the consent of all as man of great ability and ele- vation of character and his broad and liberal policy has done much to establish and maintain the admirable relations which exist between the great railroad
