Glover Has Prepared Two for.
 Goyernor-EIect Conner
ONE IS TO SETTLE CLAIMS
Wants Railroads Penalized for Fail- ure to Furnt sh Cars Within Rea- sonable Time After Demand
 Is Made.

i in the legislature from Jefferson. has prepared two bills for Governor-elect E.. ] ?. Conner touching on two phases of rail- road regulation. One of these bills is in regard to car service and demurrage. and l the other is on the settlement of claims i for damages or loss Of shipments while en route.
 i The care service and demurrage bill is in the nature of reciprocity measure. Under the present car service rules, ae- eording to MT. Glover, the person to whom a loaded car is delivered has to pay a certain amount per dag for that gar If 1t is not unloaded after a certain number of hours. This law compels the person or firm receiving the ear to unload t within a reasonable time
 The bill 10 be introduced provides that when d shipper makes demand on the railroad for a car 1t must be placed with in certain number of hours, otherwise the railroad has to bay demurrage
 Settling Claims. | The second of the bills provides that the railroads have to pay a specified amount for failure ta settle claim before spec flied time after tho claim is filed. It has not been decided yet whether the time limit shall he sixty or ninety days.
 The bill provides that if the railroad fails to settle the claim within the time limit that it has to pay a penalty of a certain amount. should the complainant sue and recvoer full amount of claim. Should the complainant fail to recover the full amount the bill provides that i the railroads shall pay interest on the claim from the time that the suit is filed. ] In the opinion of Representative Glover one of the most important bills effeeting 1 Jefferson county is the one providing for additional judges. This bill provides for two additional judges in the city court one additional judge in the circuit court and temporary judge in the criminal court.
 Discusses Other Bills 1 In addition to the clauses relative to ad- ditional judges, there is a section of the bill which provides juries in all divisions of the criminal court Under the present i conditions there are jury and non-jury cases in the criminal court one division being on jury cases while the other is on nonjury cases.
 This bill we propose to take up first, v said MT. Glover yesterday. After we have secured it's passage we will introduce the consolidated court bill, which is of 1 great importance There are so many cor ners in the constitution that we have to get around that we fear She consolidated court bill might be declared unconstitu- tional. Should it be so declared we will have this other law to relieve the con- al of
 ests of broken hearts and blighted lives has endeared her name near and far, and her sudden translation will be felt as a personal loss by many. There was no warning of her sudden call-she WAS 1 in the midst of her devoted tolls for others when the fiery chariot lowered, and like Elijah it carried her brave, true spirit to the skies. She fell .like war rior-she died at her post.
 "In the name of every comrade in the l United States, l would assure the be- reayed of the believing prayers which at this hour uphold their stricken hearts. May the grace which is made perfect in weakness and the peace which reigns in storm be their sufficiency, comforting them with the remembrance of that Fadeless Land where all suffering is for ever washed away, and all partngs for gotten in the light and joy of an eternal 1 reunion.
 May heaven be the more real and pre- cious for our dear comrades swift cross ing to it's shore, and what time is yet 1 lent to us who remain be spent from this hour in the interests of an onrushing | eternity that when our last battle Is i waged it may be without cloud to shade it's victory.

 Seven Conversions.
 The proof of the truth that the infu- enee of the deceased was living after her was emphasized by the fact that seven men held up their hands with a promise to lead better lives, and three went for ward, knelt at the coffin and gave up their lives to the work
 When the services were finished crowds passed the coffin and looked for the last time on the dead warrior. The coffin was sealed and. as Lieutenant Wells sounded "faos." the procession moved out. the bod -Was placed in the hearse and fol- lowe1 fy q host of mourners. taken 10 the 1 GaszIa undertaking parlors t WIS sent t5 Craigville, Can, on the night train.

 Her History.
 Adjutant Orchard was a Canadian by birth, and 20 years ago felt called to the army work. For a long time her mother refused to give the daughter up but final ly the consent was granted. Not knowing whither her calling would send her, she immediately became actively engaged and was soon transferred to ceylon, India, where she adopted the dress and habits of the people, going barefooted among them, and hundreds were converted by her ef- forts.
 She also made tours throughout the province and into neighboring countries, all the time becoming more welded to the work. III health finally brought the good woman back to America. and she success svely became field commissioner in Can 1 ada, connected with the rescue work in 1 Chicago, then in Brooklyn. and in 1905. was sent to Birmingham to found the rescue home here. During that time she has been untiring in her administration, visiting saloons, the lowest brothels, picking up women from the gutters, everything to lift up the fallen humanity of the city
