able. He aspired to a position OF pri-
macy in his line Of business and the
standing and reputation of the bust
ness house he reared during his few
days among Us was an earnest OF
what ne would have done had he been
spared to the maturity OF his powers.
CAS- a member Of the executive cor,-
mittee of this chamber I am In posi-
ton to bear testimony to the wisdom
of his counsel, to the d~isinterested-
ness Of his motives and TO his unre-
hitting energy.
"His demise Is peculiarly mournful
in view Of the newly created domestic
life that he had made for himself
and in his last testament to men he
left record of a humanity that stamp
ed him as n above his fellows.
"Frailties he doubtless had, but
fewer l never knew in any man, and
we are reminded of the words OF the
poet:
The good die young.
And they whose bones are dry as
summer dust burn To the socket"
Following this Mr.. ]. n. Brown
moved that the resolutions be adopt
ed and that its provisions be carried
into effect at once, the motion being
adopted unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.

tendance: Messrs. j. Allen Taylor,

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
A Sensational Case in a Tennessee
Court

Knoxville, Tenn, September "a
The trial of Alex Han charged with
the murder of Lille Davis, was be-
gun at Blountville, Tennessee, this
morning. Hall is, or was, indicted
on the charge of numbering the girl
in East Hill cemetery at Bristol, the
night of March 81 last. A bullet hole
was found in her breast and Hall
claimed she committed suicide. He
admitted having gone to the ceme-
terry with her. He had paid her atten-
ton. Her death occurred a few days
preceding the date upon which she
was to have been married TO a veal
thy coal operator. Halls brother,
Roy Hall, is under Indictment on the
charge of the murder of ]. Irby Davis,
a brother of Lille Davis.
A probable theory in the Ale Hall
case will be that he wanted to remove
the girl because of testimony 1t was
expected she would give in the trial
of Roy Hall. All the parties are
prominent.

eign Ships.
Washington, September 24-Bids
were opened at the bureau of equip
ment at the navy department today
for transporting and supplying coal
for the use of the Atlantic battleship
fleet during lbs coming voyage to
the Pacific coast in December. The
proposals contemplated the shipment
or supply of this coal to be delivered
at various points in the West Indies
and at Magdelena Bay and Mare Is
land and San Francisco. Under one
form of proposals bidders were asked
to submit estimates for transporting
$4,000 tons of American semi-bitu-
mlnOus coal to be obtained by the
navy department at various North At
lant1c ports either in American Or
foreign bottoms. The other proposal
asked Tor estimates for supplying 12O-
wv tons WEIGH coal. Between fifteen
ana twenty bids in all were submitted
n greater portion of which contem-
plated the transportation of American
coal IN foreign bottoms. Such bids
as proposed the shipment of American
coal IN American bottoms were far ir
excess of figures proposed for ship
ping 1t in foreign bottoms, a hurried
estlmate placing it at almost double
the price.
