SAILORS ARRESTED
WENT IN swrMMING AT MOBILE ON
 SUNDAY.
Four Jolly Tars From one of The ves- sells Lying in The Herber, W1u Probably Be Fined.

Mobile, Aug, 16-tspecial) )--Four jolly tars from one of the vessels lying in the harbor decided 1t would be good thing to go in swimming this morning.
 They had put through hot and rest less night and indeed. there are any number of citizens of the city of Mobile who today quite agree with the sailors, that the waters, even though they were muddy, must have looked most inytt- ing.
 But sailors. like some other people. with the exception of course of lawyers and newspapermen, forget that there may be statutes that will prevent a man from going in swimming when he feels like it. just as there arethose that prevent a man from taking things liquid internally at certain hours and times, particularly on Sunday.
 Forgetfulness on the part of these sailors in liable to cause them any where from s5 to $50 each when they come before the Recorder tomorrow morning. They are entered on the police docket as Neil Nelson, oscar Olsen, Karl Donaldson and George Johnson. All are young men.
 Policemen Luke Murray and Sergeant EFerner who caused their arrest met with some difficulty. Truthfuiiy speaking. if the men had not consented to go with the officers of the law to the police station. it is hard to figure out how they would have gotten them there. unless perchance they secured as many barrels as there were men. and in this barrel attire caused them to march up Dauphin Street, over Royal to Cont and from there to the police station. It would have made an inter esting procession to the church -goers. the hour being between and 10 o'clock in the morning.
 The sailors were generous however. Caught in the altogether they voIun- teered to swim to their vessel. obtain suitable clothing and come ashore again in row boat. They lived up to their promise and after being docketed at 4he station house. were released on bond.

EXTRA SESSION CLOSES
AEarenEO Circuit Court Winds Up the
 Docket

Linden, Aug. 16.-(Special. .)-The ex- tra session of the Marengo Circuit Court which has been going on here since July 20 came to a close yester- day.
 The extra session was indeed a busy one and the docket was well nigh cleared of important cases. The court was called for a six weeks session, but owing to fact that many of the cases on the docket were soon disposed the session only consumed four weeks
 Judge Lackland and Solicitor Gray left today for their homes and will now take a much rest after several months of almost continuous work and worry.
 During the long sessions of the Cir cult Court nearly every man in the County has been in. Linden at one time or another. either as a witness. de- fendant plaintiff. special or regular juror and now that that tribunal has adjourned a sigh frelief will be felt in every part of the County.
 These extra sessions of court are very expensive luxuries to any county forced to hold them but in this day of slowly grinding courts of justice A special term is all that will enable the dock ct to be cleared. The four weeks extra session just closed here cost Marengo County close to $2,500.

WhesU! H Was 100 in the Shade
 And the City Sheltered

saturation point No breeze at any time during the day tempered things. and Montgomerians no matter where they went, sweltered. The street ears to the park did a big business late in the afternoon. the fore part of the afternoon being too hot to put on suf- fIcient clothes to appear on the streets, but even in the shade of the big trees at Pickett Springs and by the lake at Electric Park the temperature seemed unabated.
 After o'clock lightning appeared to the north of Montgomery, and promise was given to the knowing ones of a thunder shower during the night. A cool breeze sprang up from somewhere, from just what quarter was hard to de- termine for there was not enough of 1t. Nevertheless the night was pleasant as compared with the day time.
 Another day such as yesterday would drive everyone to the mountains. but 1t Is probable that the thunder shower to the north of the city will cool off the heated streets during the early morning enough to make downtown bearabIe until the weather bureau sees fit to Issue rain warming.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-08-17

Whew.
 The weather bureau was right with a vengeance. And bathdtuhs,. showers of ice water were at premium.
 The official said that 1t was going to be a hot day, in fact sizzling day. and hereafter all doubling Thomases as to predictions and prognostications of that important bureau of the govern ment service. had better keep in the shade. that is until winter time.
 Hot days have been recorded during the earlier part of the summer season, the mercury going up Into the nine ties. but nobody thought that 100 would be reached yesterday. Such was the fact however, and not only did the sil- very column touch 100. but on reaching that point showed decided disinclina- tion to get away from three figures.
 Street thermometers showed a read ing of 100 in the shade all over the city at o'clock in the afternoon, and at 5:s0 o'clock but two degrees less was recorded. No one could be. found who had examined the tube in the sun.

tried at the recent session was next to the last case which was called. It was that of a highiy-respected negro named Kirk Dixon. from Southern Marengo. charged with the murder of another negro named Jim Gordon about two years ago. Dixon was cleared by the jury in about thirty minutes after they retired. The ver- dict was no surprise to those who heard the evidence as it was clear that much of 1t was manufactured and seems to have been gotten up to shift the responsibility for the mrr- der from the guilty party to peace- able and law abadin gnagre.
 There Is little doubt but that the next grand jury win return indict- msnts against other parties for tho killing.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
WHITE MANS nIUTTLATED BODY
 FOUND ON TRACKS.
Both of His Legs Were Cut off As Well As His Right Arm--Flre
 in Mobile.

Mobile, Aug, 16-(SpeciaD-Early this morning there was discovered. on the tracks of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, the mutiiated body of a white man of about 35 years of age. Both or his legs had been cut off as well as his right arm. He had also been dis emboweled and had concussion of his head.
 In the absence of the Coroner and Dr. Ward, the railroad physician. Jack Dair, the city's hospital steward, was dispatched to the scene at Whistler. He made a thorough examination of the body and decided there was nothing to show that the man had met with foul play, but rather that he had fallen under the wheels of a train while try ing to hoard 1t. From papers on the body and in a small valise. 1t was shown that the man was Joseph Aims worth and that he was a member in
 good standing of the painters union of
 New Orleans In his pockets there was S2.50. The last seen of the man alive
 was when he accosted a member of the
 painters union here last night and told
 him that he had work in Mississippi,
 where he intended going. The body
 was removed to an undertaking estab-
 lishment where the coroner will con-
 clude the investigation in the morning. Chester Instone, a young white lad.
 of IS years, who was arrested at mid
 night last night by Detectives Murphy
 and Lasey in response to a telegram
 received from Montgomery, will tonight
 be sent back to Bessemer where he Is
 charged with forging checks and other papers to the amount of s283. A Mir.
 Lewis, cashier of the Bessener National
 Bank, arrived here with the necessary papers and the boy will go back in his
 care. Instone denies that he Is guilty of
 any wrong~doing.
 Fire broke out at o'clock this after
 noon in the furniture store of William
 H. Monk, IT,, Jackson and Dauphin Streets. The fire department made 8 I remarkably quick response and this
 saved the flames from gaining any par ticular headway. The damage to the 1 establishment and it's contents by fire | is slight, but there is considera bIe
 damage from water to the stock as the firemen took no chances with the flames.
 The fire started from an electric light

 AT ADAMS STREET CHURCH
For Peace and HaEmony ceagresatiOn

For Peace and Harmony Congregatton
 Met Yesterday With Its Pastor.
 For the first time in many months. the old congregation of the Adams Street Baptist Church assembled in their pews to listen to sermon from a regular pastor called by them. Rev. Henry W. Fancher preached upon "Thy Kingdom Come" in most schol- arly and forceful manner, leaving out all references to the late unpleasant ness which has split the church. and which has been a subject of much dls- cussion to Montgomerians
 The night services were well attend ed when the subject was The Story of the Fall" .,-.
 Mir. Fancher and his congregation who split from the mother church sew eral months ago to form a new church, to be known as the Baptist Tabernacle. united again in worship with the members of the Adams Avenue Church who had not been of the Fancher party. Old friendships in church matters were renewed, and peace and good will pre- vailed.
 Other church services were held as announced.
