NEGROES ELECT OFFICERS

Anniston, August 14-(Special.) )-An election was called by the city council last night on the question of school bonds to be held at the same time of the final election for municipal officers on Sep tember 21. To the school bond proposi- ton was added another to provide funds for the erection of a firemans hall for Company No. 2, Glen Addie, at some point on Seventh street, probably Noble or Winner.
 This change is advocated because or the difficulty No. 2 company has always experienced in reaching fires on the south side of the railroad. It Is believed that the change will add materially to the usefulness of the company in com batting fires in all parts of the city.
 Opposition to the proposed street paw ing by the Anniston City Land com pany was withdrawn and that matter was given right of way, which insures the paving of Noble from Eighth to Ninth; Eleventh from Wilmer to Gurnee; Twelfth from the alley east of the gov- ernment building to the alley west of the Alabama hotel, and Thirteenth from Noble to the union depot. Arrangements had previously been made for the paving of Tenth street from Noble to the rail- road, which means the paving of IA ad- ditional blocks.

Negroes Held for Murder.

Sheffield, August 14.-(Special.) )-Four negroes, names unknown, are confined in the county jail at Tuscumbia on the charge of murder and robbery. The ne- groes were arrested this morning follow ing some startling developments in the death of Burt Gray, a negro from Athens, who was found last night in a dying con- dition beside the Southern railroad tracks. It was at first supposed that Gray had been killed while attempting to board a moving train, but the fact developed later that he had exhibited $100. which was missing when he was picked up from beside the track. and this led to sus- picion of foul play. This morning the pocket book which had belonged to Gray was found empty in some woods not far from where his body was found, and the arrest of the four negroes followed. Sew eral more arrests will probably be made In connection with the case E

MINERAL SPRINGS PICNIC,
Candidates Address Pleasure Seekers
 at Roberts.

Brewton August 14-(Special. .)-Yester- day was a gala day at Roberts, a rural settlement 12 miles from this place, the occasion being the opening of the min- eral springs summer resort at that place. Its location is very picturesque, over looking the Conecuh river. Thomas W. Hall and MT. Sanders candidates for Congress, were present and addressed the picnickers. Prof. H. H. Holmes, for merly of the Brewton Collegiate institute, made an educational talk, and the Rev. J. w. Cramer, formerly the pastor of the Brewton Baptist church, but now of Bradford, Pa., delivered an address. At the conclusion of the speeches by these gentlemen Dr. W. A. Lovett, as master of ceremonies, closed the programme with short talk in the interest of the con- stitutional amendment for the establish ment of Bessemer county.
 The other congressional candidates could not be present, and their absence was much criticised by MT. Hall, who re- ferred to them by saying that If his busi- ness was that of picking up dollars in the street, that he would quit picking up dollars to come to speak to those present.
