TEN YEAR OLD BOY
 IS BURIED ALIVE
DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT SHOCKS THE TOWN OF UNION SPRINGS. TWO OTHER BOYS NARROWLY ESCAPE WITH THEIR LIVES.

Union Springs, December 19.-(Special.)- J. A deplorable accident occurred here this morning about 10 o'clock in which one little boy lost his life and two others mar rowly escaped. Little John Thomas and Alfred Moore were buried alive by the falling in of the roof of a small cave they were engaged in digging in a ravine in the rear of their parents home on North Prairie street.
 They were both apparently dead when gotten out, but Alfred Moore revived and is rapidly recovering, while the other little fellow was beyond the power of re- call, though three or four physicians worked with him faithfully for more than an hour. He was the 10-year-old son of the Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Thomas, his father being pastor of the Baptist church at this place.
 There were about five boys engaged in other boy, son of Dr. J. M. Orr, is re- ported to have been partially buried, but was pulled out by one of his comrades. It required some time for the other boys to reach the house and give notice of what had happened, and when they dld It was found that all the men living near by were down town and still more time was consumed in getting their aid.
 It is estimated that the boys were buried for period of 20 minutes or possibly half an hour, and 1t is remarkable that even one of them revived.
 The remains will be carried to Birming- ham tomorrow for burial.
 The deceased was a nephew of T. H. Johnson of Birmingham. This sad ac- cident so shocked the people of this city that little else has been talked of during the day.
 The dead boy was an unusually bright and well developed child for his age and his untimely death is a great grief to his parents, his brothers and sisters and the many friends of the family.

 Little Miss Mittie-Lu Edwards, plano pupil, in a rendition of Beethoven's So- nata Op. II No. 2, allegros showed marked ability as pianist and great advancement in the theory and conception of music for one so young.

Miss Steele and Miss Yeatman were particularly pleasing in their renditions of college stories and true stories of child life, while the kitch- en stories, ideals and cradle songs of Miss Jamison, Miss Judson and Miss Patrick were pleasant selections admirably suited to the individual pupil.

Washington, June Indications
are multiplying that Secretary Cor
telyou will be advanced by Roose-
welt and Taft forces as their candi-
date for vice president.
Secretary Cortelyou himself has
naturally declined to discuss the mat
ter of his probable candidacy for the
very sufficient reason that his native
stase already has in the field a possi-
BILE candidate for the presidency in
the person of Governor Hughes
One reason for the confidence of
the friends of Cortelyou is asserted
to be their belief that on account
of the strenuous opposition offered
by the Fairbanks contingent to the
recognition of the southern Taft del
egates in the battle before the ma
tional committee now in progress,
the coupling of the names of Taft
and Fairbanks, or of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks on one ticket mas become
impossible.
Tomorrow Secretary Cortelyou's
advance guard moves to Chicago.

member of President McKinley's cab
