IA MOST DARING ACT OF HEROISM
 ON PART OF MONTGOMERY FIREMEN

when struck by the failing animal. II was at first thought that the little fel- low was desperately injured but an examination by surgeons after ho was taken homo disclosed the fact that q bad scalp wound and painful brufse Of one of his legs and ankles was the worst result of his injuries. Driver Bryant was bruised and cut about the face, though his injuries are not exceedingly painful Assistant Fire Chief E. J.. Griffith, who was seated on the drivers seat with Bryant es- capped uninjured, as did the other rnem- bers of the crew on the truck. Neither Of the horses was injured to any extent and 1t is the opinion of those who saw the accident that it Is nothing short of wonderful that no one was killed in the smashup.
 Captain Griffith said that 1t was one of tho closest shaves'' he ever had and that had it not been for the fact that tho tree bent when the truck struck 1t, he and Bryant would have had their brains dashed out. The damage to the chemical engine was q broken doubletree, broken col lar clamp of the harness and T-step that was bent by contact with the tree.
 The fire which called out the fremen did not amount to anything. Some small boys were throwing up in the air burning cotton balls saturated with kerosene and someone from the next street seeing the fire and sparks sent in an alarm for the firemen to go to All North Decatur Street. No damage resulted from the fire.
 The bfoken parts of the chemical en- zine were taken of. and new parts were immediately ordered so that the serviceable little fire fighter will not be incapaeitated for any length of time.

TERM OF REESE EXPIRED AND
 PARSONS NOT CONFIRMED.
Much Gossip over Novel Condition Brought About by Repubfican Poiitics---1nfcrested Persons
 In Washington.

The United States Court for the Mid dle District of Alabama is without a District Attorney, and has been since January 13 when the term of District Attorney Warren S. Reese expired. The duties of the office are being discharg- ed at present by Assistant District Att torney James II. Judkins who. on Feb ruary 1st. becomes tho United States Marshal to succeed Leander ]. Bryan.
 The vacancy in the United States At- torneyship Is caused by tho lively fight which Is now being waged in Washing ton for the plum, with Warren <. Reese and his followers on one side and Erastus J. Parsons and his cohorts on tho other. Referees Thompson and Scott are there as well as tho two ap- plicants and there was a we'll founded report in the city yesterday that the Tinted States Senate will early next week take up the matter of the con- drmation of district attorney for the Middle District of Alabama. The name ot Mir. Parsons was sent to the Senate some time ago by President Roosevelt for the place but. thus far. MT. Reese has been able to have the confirmation Of Mir Parsons held up. The result of the conflict is anxiousiy awaited and expressions of favoritism are frequent ly being heard on both sides.
 Since tho extraordinary state of af- fairs came into existence on January f3 the question has arisen as to what the government would do at tho pres ent time in case the services Of a dis trict attorney were headed. Fortu- nateIy there has been no session ci the Federal court since the term oi Mir. Reese expired and the chances are that the new attorney will have been commissioned by the time the court conven es again. but 1t seems tc be the universal opinion that if it had been imperative to have an attorney In any capacity. Judge Jones would have ap- pointed some one to fill the office tenn pcrarily until the confirmation of dis trict attorney by the Senate.

other prominent physicians, who had had experience with disordered minds, and to visit Robert Watts and give him their opinion as to Watts mental condition. These physicians have ad- vised the Board of Pardons that Watts is undoubtedly crazy. The Board of Pardons recommends that Watts, to be hanged under sentence of the court on February 9th. 1906. be reprieved until such time as the Governor may con slider his mental condition as restored.
 Tt is ordered, therefore, that execu- ton of the sentence of Robert Watts be postponed until July 17th, 1906.
 "It is further ordered that in the meantime when the commitment pa- pers are properly made out. he be paroled into the custody of the author ities of tho Alabama Insane Hospital"

DELINQUENT CONTRACTORS.
City Engineer Says They Must Comply
 With Law.

With Law.
 City Engineer 4. R. Gilehrist thinks that there are some contractors in Montgomery who are liable to get in- to trouble unless they change their mode of procedure.
 There are several contractors and builders in the city who persistently neglect to secure permits from the City Engineers office before beginning work on a building. The City Code requires every builder to secure from the City Engineer a permit for pro- posed building, paying one-eighth of one per cent. of the total cost of the building for the permit, and s1 to the City Treasurer as a fee. Many con tractors have openly violated this law and Mir. Gilchrist is anxious to put stop to the practice. He says that the city is extremely generous and easy with the matter and that the neoes- sary stops should be taken by all of the contractors doing business in the city.
 "A majority of the contractors, in- cluding the most prominent ones," he said, "are careful not to violate tho law but there are a number who regu- larly fail to get a permit until they are reminded of it and l am ured or tolerating this negligence.

City Engineer Issues a Permit For Its
 COnstructlOn.
 The Montgomery Young Mems Chris tian Association yesterday secured a permit from the City Engineer to erect the now r. M. c. A. building at the corner of Washington and South Me- Donough streets at cost of $2l.00O.
 This permit was secured by the con- tractors, the C. C. Tetherow Company, of Birmingham, and merely calls for the substantial work of the building. Owing to a lack at present of neces- sarv funds to complete the building. the contract for the finishing and de- corating the building has not been let. It is very probable that the contract for the remainder of the work on the building will be let about March l. tn- creasinfr the cost of the handsome new home to about S40,00o.
