These are but two Of many stories
| told by survivors. similar in nature and
differing only in details. Notwith-
standing the seriousness Of the situa-
| ton there are one or two humorous
| instances which have come out of the
| catastrophe.
DR.. Moody related a story of a rum
| away couple who went to Coden and
were married Wednesday night. Be-
fore morning they were forced to flee
for their lives. No one seemed to know
| their names, but the story was vouch-
ed for by half a dozen of the survi-
Vors.
They left Coden on the first train out
after the storm.
Previous to the storm l. f. Rayfiield
conducted a restaurant for the Coden
station: today 1t was seen lying over
there and dismantled forty feet from
it's foundations. 1t was boarded up.
On tree near at hand was a sign
nailed to tree. 1t read: CLOSED on
count of not being able to OPEN"
Additional damage was suffered by
merchants and residents of Mobile
where buildings were damaged in the
hurricane by a heavy downpour of rain
in the early hours Of this morning.
Between midnight and 8 O'Clock over
three inches Of rain fell Those homes
and buildings which had roofs blown
off or damaged during the storm were
at the mercy of the rain which caused
great damage to personal and office
property. In accordance with the
storm warnings from Washington, the
weather bureau tonight has the red
storm signal displayed from the top
of the City Bank and Trust building.
Discussed Means of Relief.
Additional tales of the restitution

at a meeting called for the purpose OF
canvassing the situation in the rooms

various plans were suggested for car

According to the estimate of w. H.

1t will be at least two weeks before

Have NO Cooking Utensils.
One great trouble with the homeless
Is that they have no adequate means
of preparing the food they receive.
Stoves are few and the cooking OUTFIT
of the relief workers is meant only
for a limited number of men.
1t is urged that those who send sup
plies to the Gulf Coast send canned
and timed goods, which will not need
preparation.
Thus far it is impossible to make a
complete estimate of the dead from

has been made out from the different

rounding the station 10 the vast Wheel
er estate. comprising some 10000 OF
the finest cotton lands.
The Wheeler home is one Of the
most beautiful spots in North Ala
bama. The house Is a large frame
structure Of ante bellum design. 1t
is handsomely furnished and Its walls
contain many costly works OF art. Sur
rounding the house is a large grove of
native oaks. under whose mighty
branches armies camped during the war
between the States.
Within the grove Is q large spring
which furnishes water for the trains
on the Southern Railroad.
On account of this large spring the
station was called Pond Springs in for
mer years, but later was named Wheel
er, in honor of General Wheeler. Gen.
eral Wheeler lived at this old home
for many years. Aside from being a
great soldier, statesman and lawyer he
was known as a kind neighbor and a
loving father.

The fact of the thirteen members

even worse character, II such were
possible. had a depressing effect upon

fore President Gunter had the courage

20 the Board that was read at length
BY Clerk Farley, formally protesting

was received gravely. and with De-
coming dignity. the Board not even
sending a message back to the CITY
chief executive. informing him that MS
wishes had been observed even before
they were known, and that the ordi-
nance in question had been decfsively
le4eated at the meeting week ago.

Il IS expected the case will con.
tinue two weeks. The prosecu-
ton expects to show that the de-
f>ndants entered into a conspiracy
and caused Marcum 70 be killed
and that the men were paid for
killing Marcum. For the defense
Young said Eve will show most Of
the witnesses for the prosecution
are either convicts or ex-conVicts
and that those who are not have
been induced BY other motives. "
They propose TO contradict every
witness the Commonwealth intro
duces and will prove that Jett
killed Marcum because he had
prosecuted him once and proposed
to do 50 again. He will also show
that Hargis had not been on
speaking terms with Jet for more
than a year. Sensations are ex-
pected.

unlawful, hurtful to decency and

sible to the people for what they
