Received Pnsnful Accsaent.

About o'clock Saturday night the fire department answered a telephone alarm which called them to the photo. graph gallery of Miss Corrie McPher- son on Broad Street, but no fire vas found. Just before the alarm was sent in, Brice Finch, a former member of . tho department, was at the engine room in the city hall building, and as the fire was supposed to be in the busi- ness district, he jumped on the chem ical engine before it left the house with the intention of going around and helping if his services were needed.
 He was on the rear step of the wagon which was going at full speed after it left the engine room. While going down Alabama Street and crossing Washington, the wagon ran over c sewer cap In the middle of the street The jar was so great and so unexpected that 1t threw Finch off and he sustained some painful injuries in the fall. His left arm was badly bruised as was also one of his knee caps, and while he Is able to be out on the streets, he will suffer for some days from the injuries which he received.

MRs. MoopY,s cLnvER WHITING.

A delightful column In The Bessemer Weekly is signed "Remarker." It is the work of one of the brightest and cleverest of Alabama women, Mrs. Lee Moody, who was formerly Miss Lulu Judson, She in this charming column is loyal to her home town and cons demns the tendency which is known as ''knooking.' She says in recent issue:
 For long time conditions of life here were very trying. We did not have the essentials, much less the lux uries of life. We had scarcely enough water for drinking, let alone bathing, to say nothing of fire fighting pur- poses. We remember its dubious quail ity. Our lights were very poor at best. and always went ont on festive occa- sions. It Is not necessary to speak of our street car service to those who re- me-lber the dummies. Who, indeed. could forget them? The streets and sidewalks were frequently impossible. Markets were poor, produce was high. and worst of all, times were bad. So there was occasion for knocking.
 But Ressemer has developed into a pretty good town. Gradually, bur steadily we have improved, growing out cur crudity into at least fair state of civilization. Our streets and sidewalks are quite creditable and improving all the time. We have plenty of pure wa

Plans Are Maturing For Extemstve Ht@~
 Washington. July s.--Plans for exv teasive maneuvers Of the North Att iantic fleet are being platured by the General Naval Board in conjunction with Rear Admiral Evans commanding the fleet Admiral Dewey, President of the Board, has sent to Admiral Evans a copy of the program of the maneuvers Of the French fleet in the Mediterranean.
 These maneuvers are under commend of vice-Adinifal FournieF, who recent ly visited the United States and was q guest of some of our naval officers Be- fore autumn Admiral Evans will have a fleet of sixteen battieships which will be the largest fleet of effective vessels ever assembled at one time by the United States. A new feature Is to be introduced in the naneuvers this sum- mer and the ships are to practice eve- lutiens without signals, in order te meet emergencies In battle when, ow- ing to smoke or when signal apparatus has been shot away, signals can no longer be given.
 When 1t Is regarded as somewhat hazardous to maneuver the big hattie- ships without signals 1t Is thought nee- essary to have the eAlcers familiar with their duty In case they are en- gagged in actual war at some time ir the future and a situation should arise neeessitating the abandonment of sig nals.

July S.-After eonsuitas ton between Quartermsster General Humphreys and Admiral cowiss, chief of the Equipment Bureau of the Navy Department, the two officers who are charged with the making and issuing of the national flags to the army and navy respectively, 1t has been decided that the admission tRto the Union of the State of Oklahoma shall be record ed by the addition of a star in the blue aeld Of the fag placed at the lower right hand corner.
 As several things remain to be done before the new state is actually ad- mitted and as the law provides that the additional star shall only be set in the field at the beginning of the next fiscal year, after the state Is one in fact, the Oklahoma star will not be seen in the national ensign until July 1, 1907. and therefore the sslutes which have been given are premature.
