marks of couple of architects OF ma
tonal reputation nothing was accom-.
plished The visitors were Charles i.
Mci<im of Mckim, Mead & White, Nc
York, and Glen Brown. secretary ant
treasurer of the American Institute OF
Architects, Washington. After hearing
from these gentlemen 1t was too late to
take up any more business, so adjourn
ment was taken to Monday next, at which
time there will be an alteration of plans
TO meet the ideas of those who are at
work on the specifications for the add
tons to be made to the present structure
The commission meeting today was at
tended by the full membership, the Gov
ernor, Secretary of State e r. McDavid,
Treasurer J. Craig Smith. Auditor j. M
Carmichael, Attorney General Massey
Wilson, and Secretary to the Commission
Thomas NJ Owen The visiting archi-

wood of Montgomery, official architect
for the new work to be done, who pre-
scented them to the members of the COM
mission. Both made talks. Mr.. McKim
said that he felt well paid for HIS trip
in seeing so beautiful architectural
pile as the old capitol, and would want
10 get a shotgun to any man who would
think of disturbing it. In all the years
of effort on the part of the profession,
he asserted, nothing had been produced to
excel the classic style of the Alabama
state house. 1t is a perfect base or be-
ginning for the development of a series
of buildings in one as magnificent as is

And then knew that 1t would come to me, and that Gods hand was in 1t. and that I would be saved I. seemed impossible at the time, though. that boat could be lowered in such a sea. Had 1t not been that the vessel was provided with a boat specially adapted to the work, it never could have been dropped to the waters sur face. But they did succeed in lowering it. and with willing hands and stroke even and smooth as clockwork came over the waves to me. Two hours lat CT the crew of the boat and myself were hauled up over the stern of the vessel in a bowline. and 1t was so rough the boat had to be left towing astern for twenty-four hours
 T received every courtesy and kind ness possible from the crew of the Dennison of which Captain Willard Wade is master. In the eight hours spent in the water I had not suffered from exhaustion. The dangers of the situation had paralyzed appetite. It rained in torrents at times and by opening my mouth to the rain l had been able to rinse the brine out of my mouth. and to prevent thirst
 When I was being taken from the raft to the ship, a vicious shark fol- lowed the boat. biting at the oars of the roWeFs, anu even dte1SAAAs lHo sternppost something I never saw be- fore Finally he came alongside where was. and picked up broken oar and struck hin. on the head. After that he kept It a more comfortable distance.
 T lost everything. of course. except a. pair of trousers I happened to have on, a good wooden shirt, a suit of un- derclothes. and the oil skin I had on. My rubber boots I threw off while in the water.
 My struggle was one calling for en- durance under the most unfaVorable circumstances At first 1t seemed hope less, but I was at all times calm l felt chiefly for the privations of my family if deprived of my support"
 The loss to the owners in the Emma Cottingham disaster was between $50, - 900 and $4O0lN. a portion of which is covered by insurance.

 About 8 o'clock last night MT. Lester took the elevator to the top floor of the apartment house in which he lived Nobody saw him after he left the car until he was found terribly mangled thirty feet beneath a shattered sky light through which he had fallen. MT Lester was in search Of his grandchil- dren at the time of the accident. and the supposition is that he went to the
 roof, thinking that the little girls might be there looking at an airshir which was to make an ascent at local amusement park.
 MT. Lester had only one child living Mrs. Edward Narrow of Savannah, who Is at sea on her way from Savannah to Boston Although funeral arrange ments cannot be completed until Mrs. Narrow lands, 1t is likely that the body will be taken from this city Monday evening and burial will be in Savannah probably Wednesday.
 MT. Lester was a native of Georgia having been born in that State sixty nine years ago and was prominent in Southern politics for more than forty years. He was a Confederate soldier.
