MOBLIANS LEARY
LITTLE INTEREST IN NEW 0R-
 LEANS CONFERENCE.
Feeling in AIabama's Gulf City. that the Louisiana Port Is simply Trying to Feather
 Own Nest

Mobile, March 24.-(SpeciaL)- Though perhaps not outwardiy ex- pressed, there appears to be a general feeling in this city against attending the conference at New Orleans which opens tomorrow at the call of the Pros gressive Union of that city.
 When the Union first issued its invi- tation. 1t was woPded Tn such manner that Mobile business and commercial men became of the opinion that the Union was calling a meeting of the commercial bodies of the Southern cities in an effort to gain trade for that port alone. The Union has since stated ernphatically that it desires every city in the South to attend the conference for the purpose of protesting against the alleged discrimination being shown in favor of the Eastern ports by the Canal Commission of the Government
 Mobile is in for a share of the Pan anna trade, and is not willing at any stage of the game to yield to any other city of the Gulf. For this reason, the invitation of the Progressive unlop was at first declined. Saturday night, at a meeting in the Commercial Club rooms. it was decided that two commit tees be appointed, one by the club and one by the Mayor. These two, so 1t was planned, should attend the con- ference as a general committee repre- senting the interests of Mobile, and 1t is to go to that city ready to advance Mobiles claims and show clearly that she Is being discriminated against as much as any Southern city. if there be any discrimination. She is desirous or letting the South, and all America, know that she is the most favorable port along the Gulf for the Panama Canal trade.
 However even after this meeting and the appointment of quite large com mittee, 1t does not seem at all probable that there will be the enthusiastic in- terest taken in the matter which had been expected. Several of the most prominent men of the city, those who are usually at the front in the fights for Mobile, have stated they could not be able to attend the conference, owing, as they stated, to the pressure in their own private affairs.
 How large the attendance will really be cannot even be guessed at this time The conference is called into session tomorrow, but there appears to be lit- tie preparation on the part here today of those who are members of the com mittee There Is yet that lurking idea that New Orleans has only called the meeting for the purpose of "feathering | its own nest" and Mobiles leading men | are hardly willing to go over to help | another city at the loss of business in | this.

 OF FINE STRAWBERRIES
Season in EscambIa and CoBecub Counties Promises Sucs
 cess.

Brewton, March 24.--tSpeciaI. )-- The strawberry season has opened in full force here now, the first full car load going north yesterday.
 Superintendent J. l. Mckinney, S. WeaiEerly. refrigerator car service agent. and l.. H. Lister, agricultural agent. of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, were visitors to Brewton and made all necessary arrangements for the rapid handling of the berries by the railroad. They visited the large farms of the Escambia Fruit Company and Lovelace Brothers. They pro- nounced them the finest berries that they had seen, and estimated that un- der ordinary circumstances at least sixty car loads would be shipped from here this season. They also expect to snlp about ten car loads of peaches. Two car loads of berries will be ship ped Monday if the pickers can be had to gather them.
 It will require the services of about 1000 pickers to handle the crop. The shipping arrangements are the best that can be had. The cars are Iced here and sent out to the farm on the LoveIace log road and loaded at am- pie sheds erected for the purpose, and then brought back and attached to fast freight trains and sent on their way to market without any further handling, thus assuring their arrival at market in good condition.
 The season has also opened at Cas- t1eberry, and a large number of cars will be shipped from that place

Mobile. March 24--(special ,--The new home of the Mobile Yacht Club will soon be complete; at least. before the summer has far advanced 1t will be ready for occupancy. The house Is one of the prettiest of all those along the Southern coast and will be credit to the Mobile yachtsmen.
 The billings are being driven for the pavilion to connect the outer boat house with the mainland, close to Mon roe Park.
 It is stated by those who have the contract for the piling work on the Mobile Yacht Club that as soon as this worp is complete pavilion will be constructed In front of Monroe Park. runnin goutward several hundred yards Into the bay to boat house.
 It seems highly probable, and alto gethes logical, that more boat houses will be built and more pavilions con- structed on this side of the bay since

MOBILE SEWERAGE
ACTUAL WORKING or LAYING sYs-
 ITEM nEGINs.
Dnuphin street is Torn Up and Street Car Lines are Compelled to Change Their several
 Routes,

Mobile, March )---The actual work of laying the sewerage system along Dauphin Street west Of Broad is now on. The entire street is torn up by the work and the cars along that street are compelled to turn north along Broad Street and run into the business section of the city over the tracks of the Springhill line.
 For several weeks the work of mak- ing the large pipe which are to be laid, has been under way, and both sides of that thoroughfare for six or eight blocks are covered with the pieces, rolled aside and ready to be laid when the ditches shall have been made. The digging and placing of the pipes Is beiag begun at the corner of Broad and Dauphin. and will progress west ward, several gangs of workmen work ing iu various places. the whole to be eonected as the gangs approach each other.
 It wil be about two months before the laying of the sewer will he com plete, after which will come the paving of that street. this covering the dis tance from Claiborne west to Julia, about two miles.
 At the same time, Government Street west of Broad. is much torn up by the work which is being done there under the general contract. Government street IS to bt pAFeu WebL tFOIu brOdO, since the pavement already extends that far west from the business section, The work is further advanced on Gov ernment Street than on Dauphin, but this is owing to the great amount of work which had to be done on Dauphin Street by the Mobile Light and Rail- way Company, which is making some gigantic Improvements along the latter thoronghfare.
 Heretofore the Dauphin Street line, which easily stands q close second to the Government Street line in point of trafflc. has only had light cars. owing to the light rail along that street. Now that Dauphin is to be paved. MT. Will son of the railway company has de. termined to improve his line on that street, place heavy rails, and when the paying is complete. he will operate cars as large as those on any line in the city.
 Dauphin Street patrons have present. cd many petitions to the railway com. pany. asking for larger cars, faster service, etc, but nothing could really be done until now. These people are rejoicing these days over the anticipa- tfon of good service coming.

New Horne of Mobile Yacht
 Club Will Be Most AttractiOe

the Mobile Yacht Club has started It's new home. It would be much less trouble for those who own and oper- ate small craft to cross the bay to the Eastern Shore points from a point near Monroe Park on this side; the river traffic and the general business activ- ity along the front for several miles is not conducive to attractive boating on the part of any who wish to en- certain. Therefore. it would seem, say those who own boats. and who propose to follow the plan if possible. that yachtsmen who wish to really enjoy the sport should tie their vessels off Monroe Park. or that vicinity, and start all cruises from this point.
 Since the new plans of the Mobile Yacht Club are being put into effect the membership has shown great increase. and officials of the club state that this coming year and the one fol- lowing win be the two best the club has ever had, in every way.

 Williams has been in the city prison since Thursday when. shuddering with fight, he ran into police headquarters and announced that a mob of white men had tried to lynch him. It was sus- pected then that Williams was dement, ed, and when the police department had Investigated his charges thoroughly and found no foundation for his fears the suspicion was corroborated.
 Williams told a strange story to the police. He said that twenty-five white men had come to his room at night

 Some of the most valuable ingredients contained in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- 1 scription for weak, nervous. over-worked, wrun-down,' nervous and deb.litated

 As made up by improved and exact pro cesses, the NFavorite Prescription is g most efficient remedy for healing ulcera- tions, regulating all the womanly func- 1 tions, correcting displacements, as prolap- sus, anteversion and retroversion, over coming painful periods, toning up the

Detective Shoots Negro.

Detective Kelley shot and perhaps mortally wounded WllIis Howard, a ne- gro. shortly before midnight last night. The negro is in hospital, but 1t is not thought that he will survive. as he Is shot in both the leg and abdomen.
 The shooting occurred in the out skirts of the city. and 1t was after midnight before the wounded negro was brought to the city He and his brother. sam Howard. both drinking. engaged in quarrelF which promised to terminate in fight, and the de- tective. hearing the cursinE and ob- scene language of the negroes. went to the point and arrested Willis How ard. When he did. he was attacked by the brother. and within a moment both negroes were fighting the officer.
 The point was far from any assist ance, and the three fought for fully five minutes before Willis Howard erasped the officer about the neck and began choking him. The latter then drew his revolver and shot the negro through the right leg. This had no effect on either of the negroes, and when wiliis Howard caught the revolver of the Of hcer' and was endeavoring to wrench II rom his hand, the latter pulled the trigger for the second time, the bullet entering the abdomen. When the ne- gro fell his brother turned and fled.
