 While the city has hewed close to the line there has been no branch of the city's affairs neglected. Economy everywhere and niggardliness nowhere has been the motto, and it has worked out well,
 The city clerks report last night showed the city treasury to contain $249O.7I on the first of the year. Against this there wer warrants, ,city ard shool, to the amount of sS24 .74, leaving a cash balance available in the treasury of $l66597.
 It is not expected that this sun will carry the city along until the beginning of the fiscal year. With the money coming in, however, it will carry things over the next election so that the ad- minlstratiou inaugursted in April will have a clean slate.

In less tha ntwo minutes he gasped a deep breath and life was extinct. Ali efforts to rescucitate him were un- availing.

His large physique, his open countenance and his ever happy disposition will not soon be forgotten by those who knew him

He denies the accusation. which was made by F, J, Frazier, am other Locomotive engineman.
 Grand larceny is the charge formally entered against West.
 MT Frazier said that about eight months ago some one entered the cab of his locomotive. which was standing on the track of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company at Green vile. and took the property which in- cluded. besides the diamond ring. the money and watch chain, a watch fob, a pocket book, all of which Frazier values at S626
 At the time the articles were stolen. Mr Frazier stated, West was in Green ville, his train being near Frazier's, and Frazier suspected the other en- gineman of the theft.

A WEEK OF POLITICS
Crrx CAMPAIGN HAS SIX MORE
 DAYS.
Good Feeling Among the Candidates Continues To Prevajl--Lee Street Depot the Only
 Issue.

A little more registration, little more campaigning, and then the eques- trians who will ride triumphantly in to of1ice upon hobbies of various sorts and the aerialists who will go up into 5he air for perhaps the last time. will do their turna in the great seveh-ring political circus. bigger and better than ever.
 For it's just one week to election day. At this hour on Monday, April I, 1t will begin. It was merely an ac- cident of the calendar, this thing of having Election Day on the first, for while some must be disappointed and few must be deceived by the result of the counting of ballots. the closeness of the race makes 1t sure that none will be stultifed.
 It is said by the oldest political in- habitants that the municipal cam paign now being conducted is notable for two features; though the contests gre limited to the candidates for the offices in the City Council 1t is re- markedly, almost marvelIously vigor- ous and will doubtlessiy bring about the registration of more voters than have ever been before registered for a city election in Montgomery; and 1t has been, despite its briskness. ad- mirably free of i'll tempered candidates and unpleasant personalities. Every candidate is out to win and is work ing as hard as he can, but he seems to have no other than the kindest Feel fngs towards his opponents. At the registration booth, on the streets, the candidates are so jolly that they seem like members of one big campaign committee working for the same thing instead of individual political war riors seeking scalps.
 Mayor Teague is the only candidate that has been taking life easy. At the Sncipiency of the campaign it was talk ed that he would have opposition. but he didn't.
 The campaign has not been fought on measures so much as men, which is not unusual in a municipal contest. Perhaps the issue that las been given most prominence Is the question of the removal of the railway freight depot on Lee Street.
 It is said that, in a kind of sort of way, the Lee Street Depot Affair was 'checked'' to the City by the Legisia. ture. When the matter was presented to the Judiciary Committee of the Sem ate for arbitrament Chairman John Lusk said to representative of the party desiring the removal of the de- pot:
 You are soon to have municipal election: your Council has authority to decide whether the depot Is or is not to be removed; if you don't want it re- moved elect men who will keep 1t there
 So it was that the Lee Street Depot Affair became matter for municipal in- stead of Legislative legislation.
 The registration up to Saturday night was more than seventeen hundred, ab- normally large. By next Saturday night it will reach, the oldest political inhabitants say, 2,500 and possibly ev- en 2.6o0. With such a quantity of vo- ters the election Is sure to be exciting

 The unexpected death of the big hearted. genial citizen was a profound shock to his relatives and number of friends in the city, over whom a gloom was cast throughout the evening and night The sorrow was more keenIy felt because he passed away only few minutes after the remains of his dear and devoted friend had been in-, tered In oakwood Cemetery.
 Though he was seized with LaGrippe thirteen days ago. Mir. Jones was rap- idly recovering from the attack and he had expected to be out again in a few days. For several days past he had been sitting up at intervals dur ing the day. and cnatted pleasantly with members of the family.
 He had heard with deepest regrets. of the death Of MT, Harrison, and it pained him that he was not able to at- tend the funeral. By his request, how ever, his father, Joseph Jones of Springfield, Ohio, who mas been on a visit to his son for several days, and his father-in-law, B. Rhody, attended the funeral of MT. Harrison yesterday afternoon. leaving the patient in the care of his wife.
 In his customary happy and cheer full frame of mind. .Ir. Jones got up for short while yesterday afternoon. and was shaved. A few minutes after his father and father-in-law returned from the Harrison funeral, Mir. Jones went to his room and lay down on hia bed. Ills father and father-in-law and Mrs. Jones were in the room with him. and the patient was listening at. tentively to the accounts of the funer- al, when he was seized with conyul- sion and lapsed into unconsciousness

CHURCH SACRAMENT
FATHER COSTELLO SPEAKS ON
 CONFESSION.
Church Sacrament Is of Divine Origin --Tt Frees From stn--Thc Unt-
 YersaIlty Of Sin.

Father Costello Sunday night deliv- cred an address at St Peters on the Sacrament of Confession as practiced by Catholics.
 He first described the sacrament as practfced in the church, showed the benefit to the individual and society which accrued from this observance. He answered the objections which have been brought forth by non Cath olics and lastly argued that the con- fession was d divine institution.
 Sin" said Father Costello, ''is the cause of all the evil in this world It is double faced monster which in- slnuates itself into the human soul by it's very insidiousness. If any one in the congregation were to add to- gether all the evil that he was aware of in the world he would have but q faint conception of the tunlversaiity of sim"
 The greatest question that came to each man fin tfisp life, he said, was how to free himself from his sins. who could accomplish thiss he asked The way said Father Costello, is fur nished through the church in the sac rament of confession. He then went on ta describe this sacrament and to
 
 fesson was tho enemy to all dishon- esty. drunkenness and impurities. in that it was one of the hardest things that a human soul could do to bring himself to go down into the depths of his heart and tell all the sins that he had committed. However. he said that the confession was not all that had to be done to get an absolution Of ones sins
 Preparation must be made and a gen. uine sorrow for the sins must be shown before the Father Confessor would give absolution. When, howev- CT. this absolution was given the peace and lightness of heart that came to the sinner was one of the greatest blessings that could come to the heart weighed down by the con seriousness of sin. This desire to take some one into his confidence and to confide his sins and ask advice and counsel is one of the most deep rooted characteristics of human nature. That there was hardly a protestant church that had not some form of confession of sins especially at the joining of the church
 He ended his remarks by an able argument that the confession was divine sacrament and that the power of the priests to absolve sin was ac- corded them by God and that they were tine spiritual agents of God on earth.
 At the morning service there was the blessing and distribution of the Palms.
