A fatal accident occurred at Forestville,
Prince George county, Monday last, when
w. Pinkney Fowler, aged twelve ears, was
almost instantly killed by the accidental
discharge of a gun which he was placing
in a wagon. The loads from both barrels
penetrated the lads breast and he expired
before assistance reached him. With his
father and a younger brother the boy was
out cunning for rabbits, and the party de-
cided to stop at the home of Mr.. Fowler's
married daughter to take dinner. In put.
ting q gun into the wagon the triggers
struck the iron standards and was dis
charged. The father ran to the boy, but the
latter was unable to speak. The body was
taken to his sisters house. and the grief
stricken mother notified by the neighbors.
She started out to the scene of the acci-
dent but was brought back home by neigh
bors, who found her wandering aimlessly

PILoTAGE BILL DEFEATED.
Alleged Discrimination Against Amer
lean Sailing Vessels,

The Littlefeld pilotage bill to remove dis
elimination against American sailing YES
sells in the coasting trade was defeated in
the House yesterday afternoon ITO to 1874
Mr.. Sherley Ky) said the bill was drawn
in the interest Of the north Atlantic ports
and to the hurtfulness of the pilotage bust
ness in southern ports. Replying to Mr..
Prince Qll.) Mr. Fordney CMich.) said he
did not know whether labor organizations
had Endorsed the bill or not, but he stood
for the justice and the merit of the bill
without regard to labor organizations. Mr..
Littlefield, in charge of the bill, hearing
labor organizations mentioned, remarked:
"rhat makes me little tired. have heard
that word before"
Mr.. Small On. c. said he understood
labor was opposed to the bill and charac-
terized the pilots as veritable nabobs. and
said Surely, the pilots have no claim on
the friends of labor"
Speaking of Mr. Littlefield, Mr.. Lamar
(Fla-) remarked it was rather singular that
this bill, which is opposed by labor, should
come so swiftly before Congress after its
converting, fathered by gentleman who
laboring men. Mr.. Minor (Wis) character
lied the present pilotage law as one Of
the worst species of graft in the coun-
Mr.. Littlefeld stated that the present
measure sought to create free pilotage
system from Old Point Comfort to the
Rio Grande such as exists from Old Point
to PASSPORT, Maine and also from British
Columbia to Mexico on the Pacific. He re-
marked that pernicious system had grown
up in Mississippi ports wherein discrimina-
ton was made against Maine coastwise
vessels and in favor of vessels from other
ports This Mr.. Williams (Miss.) indignant
ly denied.
The roll call disclosed a decided change
from what had been expected by the leader
many republicans voting against the bill
on the ground that it was another step to-
ward the Capitalization of power In the
nation. The ayes were ITO; noes, 1874.

Bankers Deny Charge.

After the adoption of the resolution there
was general wish that Mr.. Schf should
name the bank he accused of manipulating
the money market. In his office it was said
Mr.. Schiff would not make known the insti-
tuition, but that recent events had confirmed
his accusations. In brokerage houses there
was no discrimination shown in naming the
bank to which it was thought Mr.. Schiff
had reference.
Inquiry was made at several banking in
situations in regard to facts concerning Mr..
Schiffs charges. At the First National
Bank the vice president, F. L. Hine, said he
knew of no prominent institution which has
followed the practice outlined by Mr.. Schtff.
At the Union Trust Company it was said
a bank or trust company had perfect
right to follow it's rule in regard to calling
loans but that the Union Trust Company
had not disturbed the money market in the
manner mentioned by Mr.. Schiff.
A. B. Hepburn, the president Of the Chase
National Bank, said he had no idea to
whom Mr. Schiff referred. No such rule
was followed at the Chase.
At the National City Bank it was pointed
out that the institution made it a rule not
to lend money at more than 6 per cent, the
Legal interest rate. Its officers also pointed
out that If the bank had surplus amount
to lend 1t was Immediately placed on the
stock exchange at the prevailing market
rate.
I'VE never lend to customers at rates ex-
ceeding per cent, and renewals are made
at that price," said G. 8. Whitson, the vice
president.
There was furry in call money yester-
day in which rates ran up to % per cent at
the close. On Wednesday the high point
was 80 per cent. The effect of Secretary
Shaw's plan to assist the money market by
anticipating interest payments failed Of eff

The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-11-19

His body was found underneath a tres tie three miles north of Troy about S;S0 o'clock Saturday evening. His hat lay fifteen feet from the body The theory ot the coroner who viewed the remains was that MT. Mcdonald was standing on the platform of coach when his hat blew off his head and in an effort to catch his hat he fell from the fast moving train.
 His nose was broken, his face was scratched against 6 barbed wire fence and there was an ugly wound in the back of his head
 MT. McDonald was 3S years old. He had resided in Montgomery about sew en years having come here from Jack sonviue, Fla. where he was reared. Ills wicow and two children reside at 116 North Holt street and he is surviv- ed by two sisters one of whom resides in Canton, Ohio and the other in Jack sonville Fla.
 Mr. Mcdonald was popular among a wide circle of Montgomery people and number of his friends went to the Mcdonald residence yesterday to ex- press their sympathy for the heart broken widow.
 When the remains of Mir. Mcdonald reached Montgomery last night they were met at the train by a committee of the Roofers and Timers Union which accompanied the body to the res- idence. The funeral of MT. McDonald will take place at o'clock this after noon from the residence Rev. Father Dennis Savage will officiate
