 Annual Y. M. c. A. Sermon.
 The annual sermon before the college Young Mems Christian association was delivered last night in the college chapel by the Rev. L. c. Branscomb of Talla. dega.
 His text was taken from I Corinthians 18th chapter and 11th verse, When you are child, think as child, act as a child, but when you become a man put away childish things
 The speaker began his discourse by ar eloquent tribute to childhood and child. hood fancies. In the end he exhorted the young men to law aside their childish pleasures and respond to the call of duty when the time came for them to go out into the world and mould destiny fo, l themselves.
 The services were held under the aus. plces of the college Y, M. c. A. The col. lege quartette and a chorus of male voices composed wholly of association men, un. der the direction of Miss Rogers, rendered most excellent musical programme. C. T.

J. M. Moseley is Found Robbed and Dying in Lot on Nor
 riS Avenue
SON KILLED IN SAME WAY ONE NIGHT LAST DECEMBER
Six Bodies Have Been Found in Bir- minqham Under Similar Crcum- stances Within Past Two
 Months.

Of all the horrible deeds of highway robbers in the last two months. perhaps the most dastardly was that committed upon J. NJ. Moseley at some time during Saturday night. Carried as it the wont of the bloody murderers. Into vaacnt lot on Morris avenue, his head mashed almost into pulp. robbed of his all. even to hat and shoes and left to die in a pool of blood was the fate of the un- lucky victim.
 At about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. wien the street sweepers of the city were passing along Morris avenue between Twenty third and Twenty fourth streets they were attracted by his weakening groans, coming from the vacant lot. Tho foreman ran toward the noise, and came upon the bloody and awful scene.
 Deep Wound in Head.
 It looked as though the poor fallow could not live another hour. His life blood seemed all to have soaked in the ground around while the whole of ones fist could be placed inside the deep hole in the front of his forehead. There was also one nearly as large in the back of his head, through which the brain could be seen.
 Policeman Burns and Buckalew were called to the scene and later Captain Martin Eagan, who ordered the ambu- lance of Lige Loy and the injured man was quickly carried to the Hillman hos pital Those who looked at him once, as he lay waiting for the ambulance, were obliged to turn away, sickened.
 At the hospital he was given careful attention, but the physicians have little hope for his life. It is merely matter of hours before he will expire.
 Nothing But a Brickbat.
 Captain Eagan made a close investiga- ton In the neighborhood of the mur- der he could find nothing but brick bat. He noticed that Moseeys hand was cut where he evidently tried to ward off the blow of some instrument His watch was gone, and piece of the chain left on the vest. His pockets were turned out, while both hat and shoes were taken. Six bodies have been found in just such shape during the past two months, bearing marks evidently perpe- trated by the same parties. Every effort to unearth the guilty ones has been in | vain.
 Moseley is a car knocker at the Ala bama Great Southern shops and lives in Shades valley. It Is not known what time of the night he was attacked, nor where he was going at the time. He once lived at Avenue B and Twenty fourth streety
 It seems that the family Is destined to be the victims of highwaymen, as his son met death in the same way in December last.

 Proceeded to Spend Money.
 The hundred dollars was like gold mine to him He went to a clothing store and proceeded to fit himself out in the latest style. indulging in bath. shave and hair cut After the barber had finished with him and he had ar rayed himself in his new attire he gazed into a mirror and did not recognize him self. He then went to one of the best hotels, where he met with the first shock to his new dignity. The clerk showed the register towards him to enter his name and he had to admit that he could not write. He lived in high style for few days. but his money suddenly gave out and he was busted from the hotel.
 He soon struck up with his two old companions, who had finished with their rolls They decided to take d trip to San Francisco, and going down to the rail road yards climbed into a coal car. This was just after nghtfull and the train pulled out a little later. They rode all night without being detected, but when daybreak came a brakeman spied them and calling several of the crew proceeded to throw them off the train, throwing Shikey Jim of first. He was not hurt very much and proceeded to walk up the track in the direction the train had gone, catching up with his companions about q quarter of a mile further on.
 They caught the next train, which hap pened to be an accommoda ton. It took them nearly two weeks to make the trip to San Francisco, where they ar rived dirty and half starved. They had only been there two or three days when they were arrested for vagrancy and sent up for sixty days. It was while in jail that Shikey Jim received the name of Shikey Jim, which has stuck to him ever since. There were two Japanese in the same ward with him. and they referred to him as MT. Shikey Jim" The other prisoners took 1t up; also his two com panions, who continued to call him by this name after they were discharged from Jail
 While he was in jail a Catholic sister gave him a reader and taught him the alphabet. shikey Jim was anxious to learn the art of reading and writing and had mastered the reader before he had finished his term.
