FINER VAUDEVILLE ATTRACTIONS THAN EVER HAVE BEEN PRO- CURED AND REDUCED PRICES WILL PREVAIL THIS SEASON.

The second season of the Majestic the atre will be open on Monday afternoon, September 16, and will mark an innova- tion in refined vaudeville in Birmingham. For the season the Interstate Amuse- ment company announces attractions of the highest class and in addition reduc- tion in the price of admission. Hereafter the best seat in the house can be had for 30 cents and from that scale will run down to 10 cents. With this reduction in price il must not be thought that the standard of the attraction will be re- duced, for on the other hand they are to be raised and a class of features will be introduced in the course of that seq son that will no doubt make patrons of the house sit up and take notice.
 Harry Stevenson will again conduct the affairs of the pretty little theatre. The house has been thoroughly renovated dur ing the summer months and it is with a feeling of pride that MT. Stevenson assures the citizens of Birmingham they will be surprised on cleir first visit 10 the cradle of vaudeville in this city. For the last month painters and decorators

 Vaudeville now holds the American multitude of today in an absorbing grasp The magnates who control this trench dous amusement commodity are always at their wits ends to achieve the ultimate mark of the marvellous in this line Of theatrical entertainment This strenuous race for first place in the estimation ot the discriminating public has raised the most popular form of amusement to plane of extraordinary accomplishment

 Stuck on Florida Reef.

New Orleans. September 12.-A steamer stranded on the Carysfoot reef off the Florida south coast was sighted on Sep tember 10 by the steamer Ei Dia, which arrived here today from New York.

She grounded far out of the line of regu- lar travel of Munson line passenger carry ing steamers and in waters usually piled by freights of this line.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"McFadden's Row of Flats"

The perennial "McFadden's Flats was presented at the Jefferson theatre yes terday afternoon and last night. This farce comedy has been on the road so long that it's annual visits have come to be inevitable. It continues about the same, from season to season, and apparently loses none of that popularity which has resulted in filling the coffers of man agers and owners with dollars. This season there are two new dwarfs who take the part of Alex and George, one of them being rather versatile The police man, the elephant-a rank nature fake by the way-the two candidates for office. lrishman and German. and all the fla mliar characters remain. The crowd laughed last night and was evidently pleased. so why cavil? Good Queen Bess would have been tickled to death to see a show like 'McFadden's Flats

Killing of J. M. Jayne.

EX Governor Robert Lowry was called to GreenVille today on account of the killing of his grandson, Joseph NJ Jayne. The particulars of the affair as gained by long distance telephone are as follows: Jayne and bartender named w. E. John son had been at out some time and yes terday 1t was arranged to walk outside the little town of Leland, where both lived, and shoot till enc or the other cried quits or was done for. Friends le~ne1 of the agreemnt and put stop to it. Afterwards Hindeman, the saloonkeepe- who employed Johnson, went to Jayne and told him Johnson was willing to drop the whole matter and to go on as if nothing had happened. Jayne agreed and dismissed the matter from his mind. Next morning he went to town unarmed. and as he crossed the street to the post office was shot down by Johnson from the door of the Hindeman saloon. Six buckshot entered Jayne's side from the rear. He was hurried to the hospital at Greenvile, his old home. where he died three hours after the shooting. Jayne was one of the most prominent young lawyers in the state aged about 33. John son is said to have come from near BatesVile, and to be brother of Ex- Sheriff Johnson of Panola county. The affair has created a great deal of excite ment at Greenv.le being spoken of as a cold blooded assassination.

Attitude of Railroad CommiS-
 sion is Plainly Stated
INJUNCTION BY COMPANY
Attorney General Fletcher Gives De- tails of Action of Commission To- ward Cumberland Go. and
 Reason for Injunction.

Jackson Miss, September ll.-tSpecal) ] Being asked today as to the attitude of the railroad commission toward the Cum berland Telephone and Telegraph com pany in regard to the recent raise in the night and Sunday rate as well as the abolition of the free county service, At torney General Fletcher said 10 your cor respondent:
 ''Hhe Cumberland people some time ago applied to the railroad commission for permission to put the night and Sunday rate to the same basis as the day rate, and also asked permission to abolish the free county service system estab- lished some time previous by order of the commission.
 "The request of the company as to the change in rates was denied by the com mission.
 "'lhe request of the company to abolish free county service was not disturbed by the commission, and that matter Is still in abeyance awaiting the final de- clsion of the commission.
 The Cumberland Telephone company, as soon as the request as to change in night rate was refused obtained an injunc- tion fromFederal Judge Miles, restraining the commission from taking any steps to interfere with the company. At the same time and in the same proceeding an in- junction was obtained prohibiting the commission from interfering with the company in it's desire to abolish the free county service. However. have been assured by the attorneys for the Cumberland that all reference to the free county srVice was inserted in the bill Of complaint by mistake, and that it is the understanding between the company and the commission that the free county serv- ice matter shall stand as it is until the commission acts on the application to abolish The company has assured me that if the free county service has been disregarded in certain sections it is an in- advertance and will be speedily corrected; that the status quo in regard to such service will be preserved until some fur ther steps are taken.
 ''I am glad to avail myself of the op- portunity to make this statement, as complaints are coming in from many quarters relative to the free county serv- ice. As to the question of night rates, the public, of course, understands that this matter is in litigation, and will be settled as soon as proof can be taken on the points at issue.'
