 At the hour for the funeral service yesterday afternoon the home of Mrs. Rudolph, the aunt of Miss Wilson, on Mildred Street, was thronged with the and happy life had been so suddenly brought to an end. Beautiful flowers in great quantities spoke mute ly of the affection of her friends, among which, noticeable for exquisiteness of design, was a large pillow of white rose buds, with a streamer bearing the inscription in purple letters, 70.

NEWS OF RAILROADS
Alter Increase In Waees

The increase in wages proposition seems to be general with the railroads in all parts of this country, and grad ually every branch of the railroad bus- mess is receiving an increase.
 The first movement towards this end In Montgomery was by the machinists, boilermakers and blacksmiths of the Atlantic Coast Line shops in West Montgomery some time ago when a committee from each of these three organizations went to Wilmington, N. C.. and secured decided raise in their wages.
 Then followed a voluntary increase by the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road to all men employed in their diff ferent shops.
 Now. by invitation of the manage ment of the Louisville and Nashville, the conductors and engineers of the entire system are in Louisville where an effort is being made to effect some equable arrangement looking to an in- crease in the wages of both these im- portant branches of the railroad life R. A. Powell Is representing the To- cal division No. 9S. of the Order of Railroad Conductors in Louisville while J.. c. Conner, chairman of the adjust ment committee of Division No. 495 of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, is representing that order there. Owing to the difference in the branch lines and the through lines, it Is difficult to frame a uniform increase but there will be voluntary increase in the wages of both conductors and engineers of the Louisville and Nash vile.
