The WxIam Trngedx.

Coroner Paris today began an inves- tigation into the tragedy at Wylam, a mining town eight miles from Bir- mingham Sunday afternoon in which J. B. Brown was killed and W. M. Stinson was dangerously wounded. The evidence adduced today, including tes- timony offered by Mrs, Brown. wife of the deceased, shows that Brown fired the first shots, four in all being fired. Stinson is said to have fired one shot though his weapon has not been found. The weapon used by Brown was found to have three empty cartridges there in According to the testimony given today E. R. Britton was with Stinson near a swing in front of the Brown residence.
 Mrs Brown requested them to leave the place. which they did, Thinking that an apology was due Mrs. Brown Britton and Stinson went to the Brown home and offered the apologies. Brit ton took his departure and Stinson re- mained behind. The shooting between Stinson and Brown followed. When people rushed to the place they found Brown being held by his wife and in an unconscious condition while Stinson was out on the front porch. It is de- nied that Brown after shooting Stin- son turned the weapon on himself and fired a bullet into his own head.
 Stinson is at his sisters home in Ensley and the coroner has ordered him to a hospital under guard pending the investigation. Brown leaves a widow and three children. He was an engi- neer at the excavation work for the big steel plant near Wylam while Stin- son is a switchman in the employ of the Birmingham Southern Railroad.

DR. W. D. V. Kcrley Dead.
Former Citizen of DemopoIis Expires In NyEo-fI~

~--~--~ -
 Florida.
 Demopolis. Mach Especial )-Sor- row was caused in Demopolis yesterday when the news came of the death of Dr. M. D. Kelley at his home in Manitee, and was a native of Alabama. He was born and reared in Conecuh County, his parents having settled there prob ably a hundred years ago. They came from either South Carolina or Geor- gia.
 He was educated and studied medi- cine and began practicing his profess sion near Evergreen number of years before the war. At the beginning of the war he enlisted and fought bravely for the South until the close of hostili- ties, when he returned to Evergreen and took up the practice of medicine again, where he remained for number of years.
 He then moved to Birmingham, where he conducted a drug store. Neither his business nor his health was good in Birmingham, and in 1882 he moved to this city and conducted a drug store until he sold out and left about a year ago, for Florida.
 During his twenty-three years as a citizen of Demopolis, Dr. Kelley was successful in his business and a con sistent member of the Baptist Church
 He sold his business to Dr. T. T. Gal lion about year ago and went to Man atee County, Florida, where he invested money in orange groves.
 The deceased was three times mar rfed, his first wife being Mrs. Bur kilt, Georgian. His second wife was Miss Wimberly. Three daughters and one son were born to him, and all, together with his last wife, survive except the son, whose death occurred some years ago. His daughters are: Mrs. Mabb who resides in Evergreen: i: Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Schulz, both of whom reside in Mexia. Tex.

The party of civil engineers who are in the employ of the Atlanta, Bruns- wick and Atlantic system, are still at work surveying in the northern part of the city.

Prices of Naval Stores. i.

It Is believed here among naval stores factors that the present high prices of spirits and rosin will remain throughout the summer season. or rather that the average price obtained during the month of April. May, June and July will be higher than for the the history of the market.
 At present factors report that ex- porters are bidding 63 cents per gallon for future delivery of spirits duing these months, but they are not being supplied at these prices.
 Many of the factors here have con- tracts which they will place with ex- ports for delivery during these months at 65 cents, and the trade in Pensacola can see no reason why this price should not obtain. The average price of the past month. that of Il cents for spirits. was the highest average price ever obtained for that month in history.
 According to one of the largest fac- tors here the market is not a specula- tive one, but appears to be firm and solid. He gives as the reason of the prevailing high prices the destruction by the September storm of enough boxes in this section to make about 30.o0o casks of turpentine; the heavy loss of boxes through forest fires in South Florida, where the number of boxes destroyed was larger than the number cut. and the general unsatis- factory and unsettled condition of la Dor, which is not only scarce but very hard to control.
