that the firemen succeeded in preventing the entire destruction of the plant.
 The greater part of the loss will come in the form of damage to the condensers and pipe lines. It was impossible to tell last night just to what extent the plant had been damaged. but W. J. Rushton, president of the company. estimates the loss at between s12,OOO and s15.OOO, which is fully covered by insurance.
 "The department deserves the highest praise for the manner in which they han dled the 1re,' said MT. Rushton last night. Tt was barely possible for a per- son to stand about the place on account of the ammonia fumes, and I thought the entire plant would certainly go. The work of the fire department was the most remarkable l ever saw, for it looked at one time as if nothing but some super human power could head off the flames"
 The fire at the ice factory will cause no shortage of ice as far as the consumer is concerned. There are about 5000 tons of ice stored at the plant, and it is be- leved that at least one of the engines will be started by daylight this morning.

COUNTS CROPS
 IN FINE SHAPE
WooLSEY MORROW SAYS RAINS FOLLOWED BY REGENT WARM WEATHER HAVE MADE EVERY THING FLOURISH.

Judging from the reports that come in from the different sections of the coun- try the agricultural conditions are now excellent. Although the weather for the past two weeks has been comparatively dry, the crops have not suffered, as the fields were very wet before this.
 Referring to the conditions in his dis trct, Woolsey Morrow of Trussville said: 1T am very well pleased with my crops at present and also with the others in my end of this county. The principal things that we grow are corn, oats and cotton and the weather for the past few weeks has just suited them for the growth that they had attained. During the first part of the month we had a good deal of wet weather, but not enough to injure any of the plants, and it only served to wet thoroughly the fields for the dry weather that has followed. I ex- pected at the time that this would be the case. and was not at all downcast at the prospect. This warm and dry weather that we are now having has dried the fields but as yet has not made 1t too dry for the crops. However, I hope and expect that we will soon have another season of comparatively rainy days and in this manner, by having some of each kind of weather, I believe that every thing will grow finely. There is nothing now to make Us feel anything but we'll pleased with the present conditions, as well as the future

BRUTAL MURDER AT NORTH BIRMINGHAM Negro Kills Woman and Shoots
 Her Sister FIRED ON HER WHILE DOWN When She Fell He Stood On Body and Put Two More Bullets Through
 the Woman's Breast.
 Dogs on Trail.
FIRED ON HER WHILE DOWN

Yesterday afternoon Jim Goodwin. a negro, shot and killed Lizzie Foster and seriously injured Milie Thompson, also negroes in Collegeville, a section of North Birmingham. The crime. which occurred at about 5 o'clock, was especial ly brutal in character After the shoot ing Goodwin fled up the Louisville and Nashville tracks and thence into the country, closely followed by several depu- ties.
 Yesterday afternoon Goodwin went to the home of the two women, who were sisters, and asked Lizzie Foster to go to Bessemer with him, but she refused and ordered him to leave the house. A few hot words were passed, and then Good win pulled a revolver and shot the wo- man twice. She was desperately wound ed, but ran out of the house and fell to the ground and the murderer stood over her while he put two more shots into her breast. This done, he ran back into the house and fired one shot at her sister, Milie Thompson, which took effect in her shoulder His pistol was then empty. and he ran up the road and thence into the woods.
 Shortly after the officers arrived upon the scene, and after removing the in- jured woman, telephoned to town for bloodhounds. When these arrived they set out on the trail, and easily followed the path taken by the negro. At a late hour last night the deputies were still following the trail and man who was with them, but had returned, said that they were practically sure to catch the man in short time, as the dogs kept the trail easily.
 The negro woman that was wounded was given medical attention at once, and she is expected to recover.
