 nounced the entrance fee for candidates

 BIO; tax collector and treasurer, SIG; street commissioner, S10 No entrance fee will be required from the aldermen. The estimated expenses are placed at
 H0o. If more than this amount should be received, 1t will be returned to the l candidates proportionately. Now that the fees have been set the contest wil probably assume a more def 1 mite shape A ticket will be drawn up Friday night by the mass meeting, which has been called by committee Of cit | izens. As the primary election laws or the state require all names of candidates | to be in the hands of the executive con-
 mittee fifteen days before the primary, all announcements must be filed before october 14th. There only remains twenty five days for the campaign, so brief and snappy contest is expected. The books of Registrar Mandy tonight showed 200 registered and it is believed that the 400 mark will be reached this week.
 The two addresses recently issued by
 the different factions are receiving much attention on the streets today. They both set forth quite plainly the positions that
 have been taken, and are accepted as their final stand by the voters, who are lining up either with those who are entering the
 urinary or those who are holding out until February.
 No CeW to Murder. Dennis Echols, undertaken, went over to the coke ovens yesterday to/procure the remains of the body which was found by coke puller lying on top of the hot coals of the oven. All that could
 be scraped together was a little dust, small piece of the skull, and one bone, l only enough to be carried to the shop in a newspaper. There was nothing to iden- | tify the unfortunate man nor to detect
 whether white or black. The fact that the fragment of the skull was extraor-
 dnarlly thin is said to point to the sup position that the victim was frail, pos- sibly woman, but there Is nothing to
 prove the statement
 | The coroner held an inquest, which
 resulted in no clue, except that a con-
 cluson was reached giving murder as
 the probable cause of death.

 Fire Horses. l Three weeks ago the city purchased 1 two new fire horses from Birmingham l dealers at a cost of $465, and it was l thought to be a good bargain. However, l after a good trial, both have proven
 themselves unworthy of the name. Joe | was found to be blind in one eye. How 1 ever, this would nave DeeH IOleTAleu ndu not Keenan developed a spirit of selfish ness and refused to work anything but | his digestive apparatus. Three weeks of 1 training have not persuaded him out of 1 his balky habits so 1t has been decided | to request the council which meets to- morrow night to authorize an exchange. 1 The city of Ensley is determined to have | a perfect fire department and nothing 1 will be allowed to stand in r1ie way. The other two horses are said to be far better 1 than the average. They are well trained and fine running animals. The department Is also newly fitted with the best harness, fire alarm system, and fighting force outside Of the large l cities in the south.
