  St. Louis Man Will Deliver Address Thursday Evening-PersonaI and General News of Interest
 In Bessemer.

Bessemer, April 2S.-(Specia1. 1.-The mass meeting which was called for this after moo at the city hall was very successful and quite a number of people were on hand. The meeting was presided over by President Stevenson of the Board of Trade and W. P. Gum acted as secre- tary As before stated this meeting was for the purpose of helping the storm suf- ferers
 The following committee was selected to solicit funds and they went out shortly after the meeting adjourned: w. L. Rush, G. H. Stevenson, J. M. Norwood J, H. Edwards and Kelly Johnson. The com mittee appointed to look after the distri- button of the funds is composed of Mayor Rush, G. H. Stevenson and l.. E. Burns.

However, they collected something over $10O, and it is believed they will run this amount up to $200 tomorrow morning. Very few people when approached and explained the meaning of the call failed to respond, and it is hoped quite a neat sum will be realized.

FINLEY ID TALK ID SURGEONS TONIGHT President of Southern Railway
 Arrived Last Night FIRST SESSION YESTERDAY Address of President Lemon Was the Feature of the First Day-Smoker
 Given By the Local Medical
 Society Last Night.

President w. W. Finley of the Southern Railway arrived in Birmingham last night at 10 o'clock in his private car to att tend the meeting of the Association of Southern Railway Surgeons. He will make an address tonight at o'clock
 The surgeons were called to order yes terday morning by Dr. George H. Stubbs of the arrangement committee, and after a prayer by pr. J. w. Stagg, an elo- quent address of welcome was delivered by J. B. Babb of the Commercial club, followed by a similar address by Dr. Lewis Whaley of the Jefferson County Medical society. Surgeon J. J. Harrison of London, Tenn, responded in a grace full manner
 President H. T. A. Lemon of Wash ington, D. C., was then introduced and made his address.
 Again, wish to express my deep sense of gratitude for the great honor con- ferred upon me by you a. our last meet ing in Washington. Nearly another year has passed since I have had the pleas ure of meeting in convention the Sur geons of the Southern Railway company and now as your president, I feel that I shall poorly repay your courtesy by in- ficting upon you an address. which I do not offer because of any conscious ability to instruct or enlighten, but rather in effort to comply with the inexor- able provisions of our constitution, which require that this shall be done In my remarks at this time I crave your in- diligence and shall endeavor to transgress upon your patience as lightly as possible Nor do care to depress you.
 I would much rather bring spirits and good cheer to this thriving city which, according to reports, has been recently drenched and engulfed bg the great pro- hibition wave.
 We who at a distance have not even felt its spray are amazed with the ap- parent serenity following this inundation. The object of this association has always been to provide stimulation for it's mem- bers and all our meetings have been highly productive in this regard; whether this stimulation shall be received from the committee of arrangements or the programme committee depends upon the individual taste of the member and whether any change will be experienced in prohibition town remains to be seen However, if committees have meetings too frequently and in too great seeusion and members are unusually prompt in attend ance and satisfied with results the presi- dent shall feel 1t his plain duty to increase the membership of all such committees.

John A. Watts, practicing conductor on the North Birmingham electric line. committed suicide yesterday afternoon at the corner of Eighth avenue and Twenty sixth street by swallowing the contents of a bottle of carbolc acid. The un- fortunate man went off his run at $50 o'clock, leaving his car at this corner, and few minutes later he was found in an unconscious condition on the sidewalk.
 Watts had only been with the street railway company for about 10 days, for merly being employed as miner at Irondale. The panic, however, caused cessation in the operation of the mine and he was thrown out of employment sev- eral months ago. He made several inef- fectual attempts to secure employment, and it is said grew Respondent over lis bad luck.
 It is also said that he had failed to make good with the street ear company, and that the dispatcher had advised him yes tereay that he need not take his run again. Watts had evidently foreseen this, and it is believed had contemplated the deed for several days.

FILM PLANNING" CHARGED TO DAGNAN

John Dagnan, the man who was &C., quilted a few months ago of the killing of Maud Parsons, and who is now con stable at Adger was arrested at the Louisville and Nashville depot yesterday afternoon on warrant sworn out by Manuel DuBose. The charges against Dagnan are unique.
 DuBose appeared before Judge Aber- nethy of the second division of the in- ferior court and charged that Dagnan had been 'fiim-hamming" him. DuBose it appears went to Adger several days ago with the intention of opening pool room After being there day or two he was arrested on a charge of vagrancy by Dagnan, tried before Justice of the Peace F. M. Parsons, and received a sentence of hard labor for several days.
 According to DuBose's charges they learned he had some money and offered to let him off on the payment of $25 and costs, which amounted to about $50. Ac- cordingly yesterday morning they came to Birmingham and separated, DuBose promising to meet Dagnan at the Louis- vile and Nashville station and pay him the money. Dagnan had also relieved Du- Bose of a revolver at .Adger, and still had it with him at the time of his ar rest.
 
 Abernathy and swore out the warrant, and accompanied by Deputy Sheriffs Courson and Curl went to the depot, where Dagnan was arrested. One of the war rants was for carrying concealed weapons, two of which were found on Dagnan S person, one being the revolver belonging to DuBose.
 He also had a mittimus showing that DuBose had a sentence of hard labor et ole nf fpr a arrest of Dagnan for carrying concealed weapons. This was a new warrant and Dagnan's intention, it is claimed, was to have a friend return the gun to DuBose after he had paid the money, and then arrest him on the charge of having a concealed weapon.
 Dagnan made bond yesterday afternoon and will be given a hearing in a day or two. Ii Is against the law for an officer to carry a concealed weapon, though it is generally overlooked, and the trial of this offense will be watched with interest.
