KILLED BY TRAIN.
John McCuIIar's Body Found On
 Tracks Near AnniafOn.

John McCullar's Body Found On
 Tracks Near Annist0n.
 Anniston, Nov. 27.-(Special.) )-His skull having been fractured, his right shoulder dislocated and his body other wist bruised and manghed., the lifeless form of John W. MeCullars, about 26 years of age, a well-known farmer of Delta, was found on the side of the Southern Railway track north of the American Net and Twine Company. just north of the corporate limits of this city. early yesterday morning.
 Mir. McCullars was in town late Sat urday night, and. 1t is presumed that he was run over by an early morning train, having, 1t is believed, sat down on the track and fallen asleep while en route to the home of his father-in-law, w F. Robins, near the net and twine mill, in this city.
 The deceased was well known as an industrious worker, and it was said he intended to move to this city as soon as he gathered his crop, amounting to three. bales of cotton and other prod ucts, now in the field. His wife and two children are in Anniston, and the body will likely be laid at rest at Edgemont.
 A movement has been inaugurated by number of prominent church wo- men, backed by influential citizens, to compell the saloons of Anniston to close their doors by 6 clock every evening and an ordinance to that eff feet will likely be introduced at an early meeting of the City Council, while it is said Mayor Kilby, several Councilmen and at least one saloon keeper of the city have declared them selves in favor of the movement.
 It is believed this is only step to- ward a dispensary or prohibition meas ures that have been pending in the minds of many for several years. If the 6 o'clock law and high license are practically the only measures coming within the Jurisdiction of the City Council as the law now stands, and If a local option bill passes the House at the approaching session. 1t is probable that the fight for dispensary or pro- hibition will be waged unless the 6 o'clock alternative proves satisfactory. The o'clock law has been tried at Jacksonville and at other places and it is said to have given general satis- faction. It's friends claim that 1t re- duces crime and disorder to a minir mum, and that it protects the laboring classes.

coMMrssIoNERs RESIGN.
Columbus Water Problem Too Stiff fOI
 Board Members.

B0NE0 memDeEBs
 Columbus, Ga, Nov. 27.--(Special.)- A sensation has been created here by the resignation of three members of the Columbus Waterworks Commits sion. Chairman T. D. Golden. Secretary John C. Cook and George A Pearce.
 The commission was appointed to build a municipal system of water works It has been harnpered by much criticism, much of which has been un- pleasant in a personal way. Mayor Chappell and Rhodes Browne are tna remaining members of the commission. The resigning members of the Board favored a system with river water.
 Artesian water has its advocates, and every creek of any size in this section has its ardent champions, and those who favor these varied sources have criticised the position of the majority of the water board in virtually select ing river water. The successors to the resigning commissioners will be elect ed by Council next week.

 Mobile, November 21.
 Hon. Julius Delchamps, died here this afternoon at 1 o'clock as the re- suit of injuries and exposure sustained during the great storm of September 27.
 In the passing of Mir. Delchamps. Mobile county loses one of its oldest. ablest and most energetic citizens. While for days he had been wrestling with death and this fact was known. the news of his passing caused pro-. found shock in Mobile.
 His death was primarily due to the lacerating of his feet, while his mouse at Alabama Port was being swept away, from which blood poison set in. He also contracted a severe cold which aided in hastening the end of his long and useful career. An operation mere ly prolonged his suGerings and know ing his fate, he met death bravely.
 Mfr. Delchamps was born in Savan- nah, Ga, September 14, 1891, the only son of MT, and Mrs. Joseph Deichamp7 natives of France. Six years later the family removed to this county.
 Seventv-nine years of John J. Dell champs's life was spent here. and he left to his large number of desce l. Aants an honorable name. He was a graduate of Spring Hill College and soon IneTGAlbcI nCCdflitC q kutSA+
 He was coroner during and after the war, and for years secretary of the school board. Twice he served in tho LeRislakare and was a prime factor in the preservation of Mobile county public school system.
 He was a warm and ardent cham pion of the oyster industry of Mobile Bay, and was looked upon with rever- ence by the great host of oystermen in this and Baldwin counties.
 He was known in the State as tho 'cFather of the Legislature"
 At his demise he was the oldest Ma son living In Alabama, being Worship full Master of Magnolia Lodge in 1865. Full of years and a record of ust- fulness he died as he had lived, with his faculties and a desire for the wei fare of his fellows.
 He is survived by foar sons and one daughter. J. E. Delchamps of Dei- champs, E. A. Delchamps of Alabama Port, Mrs. Grace D. Hopper of DeKalb, Miss, J. I. Delchamps of Tuscaloosa. William B. Delchamps of Mobile, and a number of grandchildren and great grand children.

Break In Rlver Combine.

l.rJow let loose the dogs of war! This was the cry of certain interests in steamboat circles this morning. As had been predicted. there has appear ed a break In the heretofore smooth sailing of all interests in the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers.I meeting was was held yesterday afternoon after 1t was announced the Quill-Moore interests would put on the city of Mobile in the Tombigbee river trade.
 Assertion was made that lhis deter noination had been reached in order to hold together what was already hau and in the further bringing Of Norman Staples into line with his boats. the Mary E. Staples and Mary S. Blees.
 If appears Captain Staples refused tc take kindly to the proposition and de- clared for independence. At the con ferance an effort was made to bring about a harmonizing of interests but resulted in two separate and distinct organizations, Captain Staples con cluding to operate his two boats single handed The Quill -Moore-Iones, inter- ests very promptly got busy with the result that today a rate war is on much to the benefit of patrons of the two rivers. Following is a table oi cuts in figures on goods, as announced by the last named interests:
 Present Former Corn. per sack. .. 1oc F 1-2c Flour, per barrel. .. 1oc. 25 c Cotton. per bale.. 5Oc. 75 Cotton seed, per ton. $1.50 $2.00 All other sundried two-thirds of tar | if of March 5. 1906.
 The Mary E.. Staples arrived dowr from Demopolis this morning witt
 1,4O3 bales of cotton. Captain Staples was at the wharf to meet his boat I He said he had carried out his par | of the contract made between thu
 steamboat owners and did not desire | to comment ou their action. One clause
 in the contract. he said, was that il
 event of the breaking down of ont
 steamer, another should be provided
 within sixty days, else the dividend
 would be forfeited. When the Mar!
 was destroyed in the September storn the other interests failed to replac'
 her. The storm occurred just sixt! days ago. The owners had made m
 effort to replace the Mary with anoth l CT steamer, despite the agreement. H declared he would meet the cut il rates given above and felt that he coul,
 stand the pressure.
