KINCADE MEETS ACCIDENT

BeSsemer, November 6.-(Speeial0 ] Up to the present time no word has been received in the city regarding the whereabouts of w. w. Popwell, the carpenter who disappeared from his home on Saturday evening last.
 It will be remembered that it was stated yesterday morning that nothing had been heard from the man after he was seen on Twenty street and Third avenue about 8 o'clock Saturday evening. Nothing was thought of the matter at first but on Monday morning his wife called upon the police author ities and begged them to see if they could not find out something about her husband. She stated that this was the first time that he had ever left her without letting her know something about it, and she was afraid that some- thing had happened to him.
 Every effort has been made by the police department to locate the missing man, but up to date nothing has been heard from him. He is known to have had a large sum of money with him Saturday evening and it is thought that something must have happened to him. He was a man of good habits and his friends and family can see no req son for him leaving as he did.
 It is supposed that the Bessemer city council will hold an executive session at the city hall tomorrow evening. Since prohibition came every one con- nected with the board has been won dering where the revenue was to come from next year with which to carry on the affairs of the city. Since the sa- looms are going to be put out of busi- ness it will mean that there will have to be great deal of hustling done in order to keep the city on the move. It is now up to the mayor and board of alderman to get busy and devise some plan whereby the city can make good with the amount necessary to carry on the usual amount of business.
 J. W. Kineade, @ brak eman employed at the Louisville and Nashville yards in this city, fell from a moving freight train late last evening and was seri- ously if not fatally injured. The in- jured nian was taken to Robinson s hospital in Kennedy's ambulance, where he received medical attention. At a late hour this evening it was reported that while he was in very bad shape
 still there was good chance for his re-
 covery.
 From information obtained it appears that Kincade was attempting to walk from one freight car to another when
 he missed his footing and fell to the ground. He struck his head against
 some of the woodwork of the car when he fell and it was thought for time that he was fatally injured.
 The Tennessee company has moved it's medical department in this city from the quarters recently occupied in the Office
 building down to the furnace quarters
 and in the future all cases that come up for treatment In this city will be treated over there. The move was made
 today and it is supposed that it was
 decided upon in order to reduce eX- penses. The office has been maintained
 in this. city for some time and has been in charge of pr. T. l. Conwell. Any one that desires to "tote" a pistol
 had better fight shy of this city, as 2 determined effort will in the future be
 made by the police department to do away with this evil. A. Lewis of the Lews-Long Hardware Co.,. one of the largest hardware concerns in the dis trict stated today that he would be per | ' stopped altogether, notwithstanding the fact that he sells a great many of them each year. He stated that there were enough pistols in and around Bessemel to last for several years and he for one was perfectly willing to go out of the business. He said that many time a
 negro has walked into his store, and he knew he did not have money enougi in his pocket 10 buy rations to last over | a week. Still this negro would willingly part with his last copper in order to have ! a pistol in his pocket.
