From Jacksonville to St. Louis

There have been some pretty fast trnins through Montgomery, but one yesterday morning. was the limit in the way of speed.
 !. A. Downing was in Jacksonville Wednesday night when he received a telegram that his father was dying in Kansas City, Mo. There was no chance ct getting to Kansas City in time by using any of the regular passenger trains. besides train ST. of the Coast iI4ne out of Jacksonville for Montgom- cry had already left when he received the message.

Services Were Qniet ana without Os- tenfnfion, Attorney Barnes Preaching Sermon and Por-
 ton of Famous Choir

Chicago, March 14--The funeral of John Alexander Dowie was held in Zion City today. the interment being in Lake Mound Cemetery in Zion City.
 Early in the day It was believed that the funeral might be postponed be- cause of the action of the workmen who were constructing the vault in the cemetery. When entering the cem- etery this morning, they broke the gate and the management of the cem- etery at once demanded warrant for the arrest of Gladstone Dowie. charg- ing him with the damage. The police took the matter under advisement and the matter was finally smoothed over and young Dowie was not arrested.
 The funeral in itself was quiet and unostentatious, it being the belief of the members of the Zion City church that display in funerals is not advis- able. The hearse was draped in white and was drawn by two white horses. A small portion of the magnificent choir that formerly offfciated in Zion City tabernacle was present and sang several hymns. The body of Dowie was arrayed in the wonderful white robe which he has worn since he as- sumed the title of First Apostle of the Christian Catholic Church.
 The funeral oration was delivered by Attorney V. V. Barnes, who was for many years the constant friend of the deceased church leader. The funeral cortege was attended by hundreds of the members of the church and during the last hours, when the body was lr- ing in state. a constant stream of wis., itors called to pay their last respects. Many of these sought to be cured of diseases by touching the hem of Dowie's robes.

Tn the City Court today, Judge H. A. Sharpe overruled motion to dismiss the suit of the State of Alabama ex rel. the Attorney General vs. the Alabama Western Railroad. The motion was made on the ground that there was no equity in the suit, and under Judge Charpe's ruling, there is. This means that the merits of the case will be brought out in court.
 The petition was filed in court to prevent the Illinois Central Railroad from closing Fifteenth Street. between First and Second Avenues, 1t being pointed out that the street was dedi- cated to the city as a street and should not be used for anything else.
 The Illinois Central was granted per. mission by the City Council to close the street for the purpose of erecting freight depot.

WELLS CASE DIsHIIssED.
Recorder Holds Wife Cannot Bring Such Charge Against Husband.

Recorder Holds wife Cannot BFing Such Charge Against Husband-
 The case against J. B. Wells, chaTg- ed with bringing stolen property into the State, was dismissed yesterday by Recorder F. F. Baber. Mrs. Wells was the only witness for the prosecu- ton. and when it was proven, by her direct testimony as well as by docu- mentary evidence introduced by coun- sel for Wells, that she was the wife of the defendant, Recorder Baber ruled that she could not testify against the defendant, and the case was dismissed.
 The Recorders ruling was that in. asmuch as a wife could not testify against or in favor of her husband ex- eept on charges of abandonment or as- sault and battery upon the person of the wife, the testimony of Mrs. Wells would be incompetent.
 He gave the further opinion that since 1t had been shown that Wells had received from his wife, after their marriage, the money lie was alleged to have stolen, the charge of larceny could not be entertained. and there fore the charge of bringing stolen property into the State could not be sustained.
 Civil actions taken by Mrs. Wells against her husband are pending in justice court.

adopt remedies. With such concerted action on the part of the county and city officials. 1t Is predicted that law lessness will have little scope Tor prev aIence.
 The vagrancy law was discussed at length, and It Is understood, the sup feet consumed the greater part or the attention of the meeting. With gtrict enforcement of the vagrancy law. it is pointed out that, many other violations will be nipped in the bud. It Is believed that If the vagrant can be taken into custody, other crimes or larger degree will be avoided.
 The county and city are together in the enforcement of the law and things begin to look blue for the gambler vagrant and others.
 The new administration, both in eonnty and city, are getting down to work, and 1t appears as long as they are in accord, lawlessness will be on the decrease.

 Their spring Practice. Auburn, March IA. -1Special )--The baseball prospects at Auburn are about as they have been for the past two years. when Auburn had very sue cessful seasons. There has been lost by graduation Skinner, Stanley, Jones and Miller. These were all good men, but their places will be filled as well by new men an dsubstitutes of last year.
 The two weems boys, because of their batting ability, will alternate in the pitchers box and right field This is Sam Weems last yea rin college and he promises to make 1t the pest of the college career. For the pitchers box there are two other good men in Sullivan and Reynolds, either of whom gives promise of being able to go in and pitch a game.
 For the catcher's position there are two strong men in Whitner and Hous7 ton. # whitner keeps up his present hitting, he will make q valuable ad- dition to the team.
 Burgess, last years brilliant catcher, will probably be found at first, where he promises to be as successful as he was in the receiving department. His headwork and steadines will add to the infeld. He and Sam Weems have the faculty of being at their best in hard fought game.
 Steele will take care of second, though he may be shifted to the cut field. / He was new at second last year but a years experience has helped his fielding immensely. Ills batting speaks for Itself.
 Marks is showing improved form at third, both in fielding and hitting Skinner's place at short will be taken care of by Mcclure of the GsBrgia Prep League. While not as brill liant a fielder as skinner, he prom ises to be a better hitter.
 At left field Alexander, who led the team at the bat last year, will be found. He is fielding better and if his batting remains as it was last year, no one will find any fault. At center field either Randle or Smith will play. Randle played left field on the 1905 team and will play this year unless removed by faculty restrictions as he seems likely to be. Smith will i'll his place to good advantage,
 Of the new men, not heretofore mentioned, the most promising are Sawyer and Schwart for the in- field; Moore, McLemore and Webb for the outfield.
 Auburn's first game will be with Montgomery on E7rch 20. Sam Weems win pitch most of the game.
