BY CRAWFORD PERKINS.


 Ensley. October 29.-(speeial)-It is very probable that Ensley will get lower fire insurance rates at an early date, now that the town has compiled with the existing requirements of the Southeastern Tariff association, regarding the government of fire insurance in seeond-elass cities. Ems ley is in this class. The local insurance agents have spent considerable time and work on the matter of late, and in view of the fact that the city fire department has recently been considerably enlarged, and is more efficient in fighting fires. the view is held that the request for a rerating will be granted by the association.
 The stamp clerk in Birmingham has taken the matter up with the association officials and an answer is expected at an early date. Serious fires are unknown quantities in the city in recent years, and during the last fiscal year. ending Feb ruary 2S, 1906, the total losses were at the low figure of $262 This is a record for cities of 1S,000 population. The efficient work has been kept up in the present year, the books of the fire department showing the losses from March l to date at the low figure of $1S4. 50. The depart ment recently purchased two fine horses and a modern hook and ladder truck. Among the apparatus on hand are two wagons for carrying hose. No. 1 having 1050 feet in active service and No. with 75O feet in reserve. The hook and ladder truck has 133 feet of ladder. The de- pertinent has four horses and six men in active service, one Gamewell fire alarm system with ten alarm boxes, one house indicator chiefs gong at residence, as- sistant chiefs gong at residence, 900 feet of hose in reserve and three shut off noz- zles, two Siamese connections and two hose relief valves. Besides the regular men a number of volunteers are subject to call.
 Father Doyle Has Assistant.
 Father Kilch, a Polish priest, has beer elected as assistant pastor to Rev. Father Doyle, pastor of St. Anthony's Catholic church. Father Kilch is learned scholar, speaking fiuently several languages. The local church has many foreign mem bers and in view of this fact Father Kilch will be of great assistance to Father Doyle.

Still Doing Active Business.

Hartford. Conn.,, October 23.-The suit of the committee of policyholders against the Hartford Life Insurance company and tine Security Trust company to secure an accounting of the so-called safety fund.- is based entirely upon the alleged failure of the officers of these corpora tions to make a distribution of these funds. The Hartford Life Insurance com pany was incorporated in 1867, and al- though it's name was changed from that under which it was first incorporated and it's charter amended, 1t is still doing an active business in many forms of nsur- ance.

J. B. Stanley of Greenville. C. II. Greer of Marion. and O. H. Stevenson of Roan- olSe, were present. besides President R. E. L, Neil of Selma and several other members of the association.
 It was found that nearly $3500 of stock had already been subscribed represent ing about 50 per cent of the most prom inent weezlies of the state. It was unani- mously agreed to proceed to incorporate the agency Steps were taken also to give every editor of a weekly in Ala bama whether a member of the associa- tion or not, who has not already sub scribed, chance to take stock in this organization before the books are closed. To this end a blank form will be sent out to all the newspaper men very soon.
 The report of the committee was sub mltted to the special session of the asso- citation later in the day, and 1t was the expression of the general opinion of that body when Editor Greer declared that this was the most important action the association had taken during it's entire history
 For Storm Sufferers.
 The president, after the session opened, called attention to letter that had been received from the citizens of Coden, rela- tive to the great damage done by the storm in that section of the state and asking the endorsement of the association in an effort to get the people of the state interested in conditions down there and to aid the sufferers.
 A. M. Joullian of Coden in response to a request, made an appeal in behalf of the storm sufferers on the gulf, and drew pathetic picture of the condition of the people at this time.
 A resolution was adopted promising the influence of the association looking to any movement for the relief of the people and requesting Mir. Joullian to write out such an appeal as he wished to be made, which he agreed to do. MT. Joullian also very feelingly thanked the association.
 A resolution was offered relating to the application of new members but after some discussion by MT. Graves and MT. Williams, on motion of Mr. Williams the new members were ordered to be enrolled pending action of the executive commit tee. which will report al the next meet ing.
 New Rate Laws.
 J. C. Williams of Talladega in referring to the proposed action or suggested action of the association that it appeal to congress to so modify the fed eral railway rate law as to allow news papers to make contracts with railroads to secure transportation in exchange for advertising, made quite hit by urging the members to stand firm and let the railroads and not the newspapers make the first movement in this matter.
 The newspapers can afford to be in- dependent, he said, of passes. He told of the time when the association at its meet ing had ntt only railroad fare paid, but hotel bills as well, but this rule was broken at the meeting held at Birming- ham many years ago, and the rule worked well. He saw no reason why the news paper editors should not pay their rail- way fare as they paid their hotel bills. T know we all feel more independent and not handicapped, if we foot all our bills" said Mr. Williams, and his remarks were liberally applauded
 Adjournment was then taken to the park for Editors Day at the State Fair
