 MARY LOST DEATH
FINE DAY IN BIRMINGHAM FOR THE ELECTION-NO DISTURB ANcEs OF THE PEAcE-LOCAL COUNT WAS SLOW.

It was a perfect election day in Bir- mingham. But for a little rain in the afternoon the weather was cool and brac- ing, and last night while thousands blocked tie streets and watched the re- turns flashed on canvass by The Age Herald they had cause to keep moving, to jump, kick their feel and let out d yell at times whether the retuns went their way or not.
 Early in the morning people began crowding around the polls, on their way to work and at the four local boxes big vote was cast before noon. It is believed that Jefferson county's vote is the largest in tho recent history of gem eral elections
 The new county amendpent was turned down in Birmingham. This vicinity voted against it almost as a unit. The senti- ment around the boxes was sometimes loudly expressed in denouncing the prop osition, although there were no paid workers anywhere.
 Perfect quiet is reported by the police. No disturbances of the peace were report ed around the polls and while the bet ting continued around prominent corners

CITY COMMITTEE
 TO HEAR EVIDENCE
EFFORT TO GET CONTEST INTO HANDS OF COUNCIL WILL BE REPEATED,IT IS REPoRTED-To RESIST MOVEMENT.

The city democratic executive commit tee will assemble Thursday night to hear other witnesses in the contest filed by A. A. Gambill against the nomination of Asa L. Hoyt for alderman of the Third ward.
 As is remembered the committee Mon day night began the examination of wit nesses. Six were examined and one vote for Hoyt was thrown out, the remaining five being sustained.
 MT. Gambill has more than GO witnesses and as it is certain that Mir. Hoyt will attack the ballots cast for MT. Gambill in case MT. Gambill gains ground. it is now thought that additional time will be allowed. By tho rule of procedure adopted Monday night all evidence is ex- pected to be in by adjournment Friday night.
 On account of the attitude of the com mittee in throwing out only those votes which were cast for one of the alder manic candidates and for a republican 1t was reported yesterday that the effort to get the contest out of the hands of the committee into the city council will be re- peated tomorrow night. Members of the committee seen yesterday in reference to this report declare that they will resist the effort to the last ditch. These mem bers believe that the committee is the proper tribunal before which to try the contest, and they believe that the com mittee Is thoroughly able to hear the evil dence and render a fair verdict

during the day, it was all done quietly. Several large bets were made yesterday morning, but Taft was generally favored by big odds.
 The afternoon trains brought crowds of people into the city from towns within a big radius who came to this point to get quick returns. Every late train brought i'll a stream which added to the street population of Birmingham and made the surging mass appear as ants around an enormous hill.
 At 9 o'clock the people were crowded from Fourth avenue to First, and from Eighteenth street to Twentieth, watching The Age-Herald bulletin over Adams drug store. Often yels went up and these died out gradually as midnight approached.
 The local voting sheet, with the Rags dale county pillow case was so long that it took hours to count it. The officers began counting shortly after 6 o'clock but as there was very little interest in the result here in Alabama they counted very slowly.
 Republicans were eager to learn the Taft vote in Jefferson county but did not expect anything marvellous. Little in terest was displayed in any of the amend ments except the new county amendment, which lost in Birmingham, carried unan- imously in Bessemer, but was opposed by some or the boxes in the lower end of the county.
 Not until after F O clock did the peo- pie on the streets begin to thin out, and all had a pretty sure feeling that they knew the nanle of the winner.

LIVE MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL
 BOOKED TONIGHT

While, with the exception of the cleo cation, there is nothing save routine mat ters to be considered tonight by the city of great interest.
 It is a certainty that John L. Parker, formerly president of the city council. will be nominated by member of the majority faction for the vacancy on the Board of Education. It is also very prob- able that the minority will nominate Elm nett Smith of Avondale, for a long time president of the educational board of that city.
 MT. Parker states that he is not a candidate for the Board of Education, and does not think that the members of the board should be forced to enter poli tics. He states however, that if elected he will accept and give the city his pest services.
 On account of the opinion of the prom inent constitutional lawyers relative to Judge Feagin's right to hold the office of police court judge, the rumored in- tention of the Burnett majority to elect Judge Feagins successor tonight will probably be abandoned. It is understood, too, that no action relative to electing other city officials will be taken tonight.
 It is reported, however, that the meet ing will be exceedingly interesting, as the members of the minority" numbering +braa will have statements tO make con cerning conditions as they exist in city affairs, and certain suggestions to offer. The matter of municipal government by a commission of three will be preached unless present intentions are abandoned. It is also reported that some action will be taken relative to the Third ward alder manic tangle by means of which A. A Gamble is endeavorng to have the nomi- nation of Asa l.. Hoyt declared illegal

NOT GAS FU MES
 BUT ARSENIC CAUSE
 OF MILES DEATH

Adde Miles and Will Grover, negroes, are in the city jail, where they are being detained on a charge of murdering Joe Miles, also colored. The two negroes were arrested yesterday afternoon by Detec- tves Shirley and Larue.
 It was reported by men in charge at the Sloss furnace yesterday afternoon that Joe Miles had died in a somewhat mysterious manner while at work at the furnace. Chief of Detectives Mcdonald put Detectives Larue and Shirely to work on the case and they immediately began an investigation.
 It was noted that Miles had just eaten his dinner and died shortly after drinking some coffee which he had brought from his home. The company's chemist at the furnace made a chemical analysis of the portion of the coffee which the negro left and found that it contained arsenic.
 The detectives immediately went to Miles home and placed under arrest the deceased negros wife and a negro man, named Will Grover, who is said to have boarded at the home of Miles for about three years. The two negroes deny any connection with the case of poisoning.
