ENSLEY ATHLETIC CLUB

Ensley, June 19.-(Special)-By the ex- plosion of a gas main at the Ensley blast furnaces. which occurred this after noon about o'clock two white men, Robert L. Steele and John Flames, were seriously if not fatally injured. The two men were at work repairing one of the large gas valves, leading from the gas flue to the overhead main, when the explosion occurred. They were hurled to the ground, a distance of about b feet, by the force of the explosion. Steele sustained a fractured skull and was bad ly bruised, and flames had both his legs fractured one above, the other below the knee, and was otherwise cut and bruised up. They were taken to the Cunningham hospital and given medical attention. Steele is the more seriously injured of the two His skull was so badly frac- tured trepanning had to be resorted to by the physicians. While his injuries are severe there is a fighting chance for his life flames is severely hurt. He is giant in size, weighing over 200 pounds, and if not internally injured he will re- cover.
 The cause Of the accident IS Shrouueu in mystery, although it is surmised it was due to the accumulation of gas in the main.
 Robert L. Steele is well known in the Birmingham district, having resided here for years. He is married and has four children.
 John Flames has been employed at the of Uaar a has a wife and several children. That the accident did not cause greater amount of damage or greater loss of life is a matter of congratulation, as the force of the explosion was terrific and there were quite a number of workmen in tbe immediate vicinity. As it was several received slight wounds from the falling debris. though not sufficiently se- rious to be taken to the hospital.

STEAMER STEWARD
 SMUGGLED GEMS

New York June 19.-As a result of an investigation into the alleged smuggling of diamonds on the steamers plying be- tween this port and Antwerp, Evard Stocker, a second cabin steward on the steamer zeeland, was arraigned yesterday before United States Commissioner Shields, charged with smuggling.
 Special Treasury Agent E. P. Hoag, William H. Williams and J. F. York, who arrested Stoeker, declared that they fol- lowed the steward from the Red Star line pier at the foot of Fulton street to a jewelry store in Maiden Lane. There they say they found him bargaining for the sale of 37 uncut diamonds of different sizes. They arrested NStocker, seizing the diamonds. Stocker admitted having brought the gems in the country without the payment of duty. He said it was his first offense and waiving examination, was held in 5000 for the federal grand jury

Atlanta, June -(Special.)-When the general assembly convenes on Wednesday at noon for the second session under the present administration there will be started runaway race which will doubt less keep the constituency watching for the next 50 days. It is not expected that more than one day will be lost in organ ization, and that in that space the sen ate will have elected a new president 10 succeed the late John W. Akin of Bartow With only two candidates in the field for this office, Senator J. J. F'lynt of Spald- ing and President Pro Tem Steed of Car roll. the balloting bids fair to be brief Senator Flynt is looked upon as a win ner per adventure. His stern opposition to Governor Smith when the governor made his first race, his fight upon him during the session of the last legislature, especially upon the last night of the leg islature when the governor kept sending for senator's and talking to them in re- gard to pending legislature, and his stall wart fight for Little Joe" Brown in Spalding, which went by such a large majority for MT. Brown, and at the same time electing MT. Flynt as judge of the city court of Griffin, will make that body all the more unwieldly so far as the gov ernor is concerned
 Hard enough to manage last year, when the pet reform measures got through by narrow margin, one meeting defeat the ant-lobby bill, the legisla- ture this year promises to be even more fractious. There are a number of i'm portant matters, introduced last year, to come up at this session for action.
 There are number of others which will come up under the head of new business" which occupy the center of the spotlight. Chief among these will be the question of What to do with the con- victs?' Another will be, How to strengthen the banking laws;' still an- other will be- "The pension question" A number of agricultural question will come up and the legislature will be so busly engaged in attending to practical legisla- ton as to have little time for political matters.
 Preceding in point of interest all Of these matters, however, will be the in auiry into the dismissal by the governor of Little Joe' Brown from the office of railroad commissioner. This was done after the legislature adjourned last year, and has to be explained to the legisla- ture by the governor in a special mes sage.
 lively time is expected to ensue over this matter as Little Joe" Brown, as has been demonstrated, has a host or friends throughout the state. and many of these are in the legislature ana VIII be back with it again next year. It is very probable that the convict question will be taken up first, as this legislature is imperative. No less than

London Times Says It Is Striking
 Roosevelt Victory.

London, June 19.-The news of Secre- tary Tafts nomination for the presidency was too late for editorial comment Tn the morning papers except the Times, which says
 Tt is the greatest and most striking of all Roosevelts many victories. By the unfiinching exertion of his personal will President Roosevelt defeated the un- doubted will of the republican party, and which was hardly less certainly the wiil of the American people. He has chosen to sacrifice his personal ambition to hls sense of duty as a citizen. It is noble act of self-abnegation worthy of the first magistrate of the people, bred in respect for the law. and in veneration for it's spiritn
