ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
Miss Jenkins Will Become Bride Of Mir.
 Rogers.

Tuscaloosa, April 1.--(Special. )--Mrs. Emma Tyler Jenkins announces the engagement of her daughter, Ava Ro- berta Jenkins, to Jesse Miller Rogers The wedding will take place at Christ Church Wednesday morning, April IF. at z o'clock. No cards will be sent to friends living in Tuscaloosa.
 The bride to be is very attrac- tive girl who has been reared in Tus- caloosa. She Is the daughter of Mrs. Emma Jenkins and the grand daughter of the late J. H. Tyler, we'll known citizen of this community for num- Der of years She Is very accom- plished, having graduated in the It, erary department of the Tuscaloosa Female College and last session re- ceived diploma in music from the Central College. MT. Rogers is na- tive of Pickens county but has lived in Tuscaloosa several years. He Is the president of the State Association of Embalmers and Funeral Directors.
 As a result of an unpleasant expe- rience with a negro, Brown Horton has quite a sore head, while the negro Is in jail with a cut in tue jaw.
 MT Horton with one of his negro workmen was repairing water main on Greensboro avenue and was work ing in a hole filled with water, when two negroes went by carrying a jug of whiskey. After they mad passed few steps one of them called to MT. Horton to stop throwing at him and used a very insulting epithet. Mr. Horton made for him and knocked him down and at the same time the negro with the jug hit him in the back of the head. MT. Horton then left the one he had knocked down and started for the one with the jug. As he drew near, MT. Horton pulled out his knife and slashed the negro across the jaw, but not until MT. Horton's workman came to assist him was the negro sub dued.
 The negro that did the cursing ran away and was not caught; the other was arrested and is now in jail. Mir. Hortons injuries are very painful but not serious.
 C. F. McPherson, signal engineer for the Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company. has charge of the block system between Woodstock and Tus- caloosa The work will be finished about, June 1. The recent number of wrecks between Tuscaloosa and Wood stock has caused this system to be put in between these two places.

Retreat of the Short Interest
in Today's Dealings.
VERY LITTLE STOCK BUYING
Market Opened With Uncertain and
Heavy Tone.
GENERAL RECOVERY LATER
Exceptional Strength of Northern

of Business Before Close.
GENERAL RECOVERY LATE

NEW YORK December 2I.-It was
seemingly the prospect that the banks
would show another considerable curtail-
ment in their deficit that led to a lively
retreat of the short interest in the stock
market today, for except in few cases
there seemed to be little buying of any
other description. Preliminary estimates
of the principal movements in currency
during the week indicated a gain in cash
by the banks of about 100000. the
greater part Of which was derived from
their operations with the subtreasury.
1t would appear on the other hand that
they have also gained in their dealings
with the interior. and this. of course. is
highly encouraging sign in all the cir
cumstances of the case.
The stock market opened with an un-
re.t2in and somewhat heavy tone. but 9

London Dull Today.
The London stock market was dull. but
generally steady. Trading was restricted
by the opening of the fortnighty settle
ment, and very little was done here for
foreign account. The Bank of England S
rate of discount was left unchanged at
: per cent, and the banks weekly state
ment showed a decline in the proportion
of reserves to liabilities from nearly 40
per cent last week to 40 per cent
There was a decided increase in the
volume of business during the rally of the
forenoon, but after midday quite
marked falling away in activity was
shown. A number of the industrial and
miscellaneous shares and some of the
railway stocks were comparatively heavy,
despite the rallying tendency of the mar
ket at large American Locomotive re-
fiected particular pressure, as IT has done
ever since the recent declaration OF the
regular dividends on both classes of the
stock The United States Steel shares
were decidedly firm, as were Amagamated
Copper and American Smelling.
In the early part of the day there was
renewed weakness in Pennsylvania. New
York Central and Atchison. but all of
these stocks participated in the subse-
quent rally.

WHAT THE BROKERS SAY.

A. o. Brown G. Cove do not expect
an active market for the next few days
as holiday conditions will probably exist
Marshall, Spader & Cove expect re.
stricted operations in the security mar
kets until the monetary situation shall
become clearer.
Bartlett, Frazier & Carington.-High
| money should be with us over the time
| for January disbursements, and If pos
sible the large interests Of the Street
| would like to keep the stock market quiet
and prices of railroads and industrials
alike within small limits until this dan.
gerous over-the-year period has passed.
T. A. Mcintyre & Co.-The best tina,
can be expected is a continuance of a
narrow and irregular traders market
| with the proba biiity of prices going some
| what still lower before there is any re-
| newed upturn of Importance. -.
| Dick Bros & Cove expect the mar
ket to continue quiet and merely irregular
until after January disbursement prepa-
| rations have been completed, and New
Yea day past. The necessities of the

doubt that there will be much selling ex-
cept that which professional traders may
d. for the short account
Chandler Bros & Co.-No doubt that
every reasonable effort will be made to
prevent any serious break In prices be-
tween now and aJnuary, unless it proves
a more serious effort than they care to
assume.
Miller & Co.-The market is Sc highly
professional that set opinions as to i'm
mediate fluctuations are not particularly
valuable. The standard stocks, Union Pa
cifc and Reading, however, seem to hold
we'll
j. S. Bache G. Co.-The good railroad
stocks seems to US very attractive from
an investment point at present. At the
same time the money situation is the CON
trolling factor, and will remain so until
after the first of the year. The market
displayed a slightly harder tone towards
the close.
