OLD WHITE MAN IS
 KILLED BY ENGINE
WALKED IN FRONT OF ALABAMA GREAT SOUTHERN TRAIN AT EIGHTEENTH STREET CROSSING. SUPPOSED TO BE A. VOLT.

An old white msn, one-legged and on erutches, whose n@ne is supposed to be Alexander Volt was run over last night about 10 o'clock at the Eighteenth street crossing by A. G. S. freight cars and Instantly killed.
 A. M. Stephen, the flagman at the cross ing, said that at the time of the acci- dent two freight trains were being switched on the two last tracks at the crossing, and that he was swinging the red lantern as warning to people to keep off the tracks. Immediately after one of the trains had passed the old man, who was going south was seen to attempt to cross the second track on which A. C.. s. switch engine No. 131 was backing five or six freight cars. Before he could call out three trucks had passed over Volt body
 An ambulance from Lige Loy's was summoned and the body was taken to that establishment, where it will remain today awaiting news from friends or rela- tives. No papers, except letter from the mayor of Decatur stating that the bearer Alexander Volt, was known to him, and worthy of consideration. were found. The body was cut in two, and the remaining leg severed.

DR. WHORTON HOLDS
 MEETINGS IN STATE
EVANGELIST SPENT YESTERDAY IN BIRMINGHAM EN ROUTE TO CARBON HILL TO HOLD UNION REVIVAL.

The Rev. Dr. H. M. Whorton of Phila- delphia. one of the most noted revivalists, spent yesterday in Birmingham. He was passing through en route from Gadsden to Carbon Hill where he goes to hold a union meeting for the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches under tent which has been secured for his meet ings.
 Dr. Whorton in speaking of his meeting at Gadsden said 1t was one of the most successful he ever held. He said We'd nesday night the large. Methodist church at which he was preaching was crowded and after he had finished his sermon and asked any who wished to confess Christ to come forward, suddenly the electric sat very quietly until few lamps and candles could be had when the offer was again made. Theksilence and dark ness seemed to have a striking effect that many joined the church
 It will be remembered that pr. Whorton held revival meetings in Birmingham last year in November preaching for two two weeks at the Southside Baptist church. At both meetings he had many conversions.

Will Make Rules.

Rules for working the coal. etc, here tofore have been made without consult- ing this department If asking the ap- proval of same and when this department has attempted to change the rules for working coal at the union mines, 1t has been unable to do so, the miners claim ing that under the law we had no right to interfere with previous rules and regu- lations and for this reason l have mo- tifjed your convention what they may ex- pect. and 1t will be unnecessary for you to make any rules at all to work the coal and prop the roof, as this department will make such rules. as required by sec tion % of the mine law.
 In order to stop as many accidents from falling roof. windy shot. and the handling Of powder and dynamite. the method of working the coal, timbering the roof and handling explosives has got to be changed if this depa rtment has to file suit against every operator, foreman and miner in the state.
 France, Germany and England have systematic rules for timbering, and their percentage of accidents is smaller by a good deal than any other country. and l don't see why not only the mine in- spectors of Alabama, but every miner and operator should not want the same care and protection In Alabama. It will not take any more timber or any more time consequently there will be no more addi- tional expense or labor on either side.
 There is not concern that manufac- lures explosives of any kind that does not send out set of very stringent rules for the handling of their explosives and I think for any man or body of men to object to the rules that l have made is simply helping to dig his grave, and to deprive our good women and inno- cent children of their support and tender care of a. husband and father.
 Hoping that your convention will enter into this with the same spirit that the mine inspector has gone into 1t. am, very truly. J. M. GRAY.
