Mrs. Julia Flora, of Anita, Shot Joe
Flora-Woman Now In Jail. -

Mrs. Julia Flora, of Anita, Shot Joe
FloraCWoman Now In Jail.
Last Friday afternoon Mrs. Julia
Flora, wife of Ralph Flora, shot and
killed her brother-in-law, Joe Flora, at
her home In Anita. Two bullets hit
the man, either one of which would
have killed him. One bullet crashed
through his brain and the other one
struck him over right breast and
pierced the lung. After shooting the
man the woman did not wait to see
whether he was dead or not, but i'm
mediately went to the home of an uncle
about a mile away from her home,
where she was arrested later by one of
the state police.
Mrs. Flora is about % years old, a
nice looking Italian woman. Is the
mother of two children. one four years
and the other one year old. According
to her statement her brother-in-.aw had
been annoying her frequently when her
husband was at work for about two
years. He warned her to poison his
brother and marry him. He made base
propositions to her which she would not
grant and because she would not yield
to his base passions and desires, he
threatened TO kill her. On Friday,
Don after his brother had gone to work,
Joe went to the home and made threats
against Mrs. Flora if she would not
grant his request. He pulled a re-
volver out OF his pocker and laid it on a
table to take off his coat, and while
taking off his coat Mrs. Flora grabbed
the revolver and fired two shots with
deadly effect.
Mrs. Flora was charged with murder
and Monday afternoon was taken
through Reynoldsville to Brookville
jail to await trial at the next term OF
court for murder. Mrs. Flora took her
o~ne-year-old daughter to Brookville
with her.

DR. YOUNG'S TALK.
SPOKE AGAINST SALOONS AT ADAMS
 STREET CHURCH.
Pastor shelton Calls On People to Make Candidates Go On Record as
 to Sunday Baseball.

Rv stirring up A wave of public sen timent against the sale of liquor, pr. IG. W. Young, of Kentucky, who spoke in behalf of the Anti-saloon League of America at the Adams Street Sap tist church last night, proposes the complete destruction of retail liquor traffic. He believes that public sem timent is the only thing that can bring about the results which the league desires so earnestly to accomplish. For an hour and half pr. Young talked from the pulpit of the Adams
 Street Church while the house of wor-
 ship held a congregation that occu- pied every conceivable seat of its ca pacity. The great gathering of church peoule appeared to be intensely inter- ested in the address and many of them subscribed 1iberally to the cause at the close of the meeting. Dr. Young Us deputy superintendent of the anti-saloon work in the South. He is from Kentucky and it is from his untiring efforts in behalf of the cause in that State that he is best | known.
 Preceding the antI-liquor address, the usual Sunday night services of the
 Adams Street Church were condueteo | by Rev. John Bass Shelton, pastor. Tn
 a. brief talk. just before the offering, MT. Shelton touched forcefully on coun-
 ty politics, Sunday observance ana Sunday baseball.
 He strongly advocated a rigid ob- servance of Sunday and branded baseball as one thing not to be | tolerated on the Sabbath day Any man, he exclaimed. who was not open lly against Sunday baseball, was not I for q Sunday observance and was not the proper man to ve voted for. The majority of the county candidates now out for the Legislature and the Sem ate were not expressing their views | on the Sunday baseball question and the only two candidates he knew or who were openly opposed to the game being played on Sunday were w. C.. Henderson, candidate for the senate
 and F. W. Jackson. candidate for the
 Legislature.
 Regarding the appearance of pr. Young in behalf of the anti-saloon
 league. MT. shelton said he was gra- cious in welcoming him to his pulpit
 and he was particularly glad to know
 that he. the minister of the Adams
 Street Baptist Church, did not have to
 call his deacons together to secure their sanction for Dr. Young to speak,
 The facts, he said were known that
 there were churches in Montgomery
 who would not welcome Dr. Young to
 their pulpits yesterday morning. He
 yearned for the hasteniug of the day
 when q temperance worker might be
 welcomed bv every church in the land.
 pr. Young, who appears to be about
 GO years old. was introduced by Rev.
 w B. Crumpton, President of the Antl-
 saloon League of Alabama. and secre-
 tary of the Baptist State Board of Mis-
 slons, who declared that the next legis- lature would be an anti-saloon body.

PRODUCTION OF COKE
MATERIAL INCREASE OF OUTPUT
 IN ALABAMA.
Negroes Engagc in "Crap' Game Near Birmingham and One Is Dead--Great Brsiid-
 ing Boom. E


 Birmingham, March 11.-(SpeciaI.)--- Alabama produced 472,6O3 tons more coke in 1905 than the previous year, the of1cial figures having just been made up. The printers have the copy and the official statement VIII come out in the next few days. The output of the coke ovens Tn i9oo amounted to 2,756.69s tons against s.2S40s5 tons in 1904. Had all the coke ovens been in operation there would have been an additional output of about 5oO GOO tons. it is estimated. There are e9s2 coke ovens in Alabama but dur ing the past year 647 of them never made a ton of coke. The strike or the union coal miners had something to do with the coke manufacture.
 The official report will show the coke production by counties in this state last wear to have been as follows: Dekalo county, 150 ovens and 34.000 tons or coke: Jefferson, 7,646 ovens, 2,3S4,61S tons of coke; Tuskaloosa county, STE ovens and 257,671 tons of coke; Walker county. 660 ovens and 130,4l9 tons or coke. The idle ovens were located Tn Bibb county, ACT; St. Clair 60; Tailade- ga. 120. The coke production for the first two months of this year warrants the state ment that the output in 1906 Will ex eeed that in 1905 by several hundred thousand tons. ThereSi is strong de- mand for the. product.

Bullding Boonn startlng.

Birmingham is about to enter a
 building boom and the statement Is
 made by business representatives Of the
 local Building Trades Alliance that
 there will be work in this district through the entire year for the large number of artisans in that line. A call has been made by the Birm- ingham District Carpenters Council to all affiliated bodies to hold meetings commencing tomorrow at which to vote
 on new working rules and a change in the by laws of the organization. The leaders claim that the membership of the building trades alliance has doubled during the past year and that there are thirty per cent more contractors now
 subscribed to the rules and regulations of the alliance than ever before. There is absolutely no trouble on in this line and none anticipated, as far as can be
 ascertained, despite the call of the
 business agents and district council of the carpenters on all locals to hold meetings and discuss new working rules.
 A number of large buildings are in
 contemplation. Permits have been is- sued for a five story building on the corner of Twentieth street and avenue
 A, by the Moore-Handley Hardware Company to replace their structure de- strOyed by fire. Another permit has been issued for a three story building
 to be erected by the Alabama Brewing Company on the corner Of Twentieth
 street and avenue A. The remodelling
 of the Florence hotel is being complet- ed.
 A large force of men is employed on the fifteen story Brown-Marx building
 on the northeast corner of First avenue and Twentieth street,
 The plans are in hand for the twelve story hotel on the corner of Fourth
 avenue and Twentieth street and it is believed that the work will be started | on in thet next sixty days. Several other buildings are in course of erec- | tion or In contemplation.
 The American Contractor, published
 in Chicago, gives Birmingham credit for $31, ,452 during February 1906, as
 compared to $33,600 the previous Feb-
 ruary. or a gain of 2s0 per cent. A
 permit during February was issued for
 building to cost more than $500.0OC
 but for some reason this was not con- | sidered.
 Building material in this district is not as easy to obtain as might be thought. a result of the building l operations.

 The speaker reviewed the thorough his- tory of the organization.
 As to the methods by which the anti saloon league proposes to accomplish it's objects. Dr. Young put forward the underlying method of creating a public sentiment in behalf of the work of the league. This sentiment must mean the absolute demolition of beverage liquor traffic and the league will never be sat- isfied until 1t sees the eomplete de- struction of tho retailing of spirits. Nothing short of that, he exclaimed. would do.
 pr. Young made the statement that he would not endorse the immediate aboIishment of saloons by law, and in a succeeding explanation he bore out his statement, The reason, he said, was that upon the municipal authorities de-
 pended the enforcement of the law, and. If the public sentiment had not been sufficiently created ito demand an enforcement of the law. then. even , though saloons were abolished by stat
 ute they would still be run, Therefore, | 1t would not do to have the law without the sentiment

Washington Special.
 The action of the Senate Committee on interonceanic Canals suspending fur ther investigation of the administration of the enterprise in favor of the inquiry into the question of the type of canal has given rise to the opinion that the committee will try to dispose of this phase of the canal question first and to do so as soon as possible. The fact has been called to the attention of the committee very forcibly on several oc- casions that the doubt concerning the i type of canal to be adopted is hamper
 Ing the process of construction and will greatly interfere with successful con- tinuance of the undertaking.
 It is noted with interest that the first witness called, William H. Burr of New
 York, has spoken strongly in favor of sea-level canal, agreeing in that mat ter with the majority of the Board of Consulting Engineers. His testimony on this point yesterday was renewed and strengthened this afternoon when he presented arguments showing the l experience in other canals, where con | stant reconstruction of the locks was | rendered necessary in consequence of the rapid growth in the length of ships. He said the locks provided for in thss I lock canal project would not aeeommo-. date vessels more than 800 feet long,

 mittee put questions to him apparently

 these subjects after the question of
