weather of the past two days has had
no bad effect on the strawberry crop,
which is now in full bloom. There was

Rail Shipments.

Gadsden, April -(Special)-Thre of
the city policemen, Capt. ". L. Thomas,
r. a. Leath and w. w. Thornton, were
put on trial last night on charges of graft
preferred by Alderman Baker The
charges arose out of claim made by
some negroes that the officers had made
them pay $40 for the recovery of some
stolen property.
A large number of witnesses were ex-
amined and after hearing all the evidence
the council found them not guilty and dis
charged them.
Hon. John w. Tomlinson spent some
hours in the city last night and left for
Cherokee county this morning, where he
organized Bryan clubs at Centre and
Cedar Bluff today. Tomorrow he will
return to this place and organize a club
here in the afternoon and another at At
ITALIA in the evening.
The frost predicted for last night in this
part of the state did not materialize.
While the temperature was low enough
for. light frost the ground was dry,
and there was a strong wind blowing
so that no damage was done.
With the reopenng OF the furnaces of
the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron
company, and a demand for labor, the po-
lice department of the city has issued an
order for the enforcement of the vag
rancy law, which has been more or less
ignored during the dull times when many
were out of work who would gladly have
been busy The company is finding it
difficult to find all the labor 1t wants, and
the police have decided to make all the
idle negroes go to work.

RAILROAD QUESTIONS UP

Montgomery, April 3.--(Special. 1.-THE
Alabama railroad commission has up next
week the question of rates on the Ala
bama and Tombigbee rivers, and will put
in force a new schedule containing some
raises as urged by the river men, and
provide a general readiustment. All of
the boatmen are cited to be on hand
that the interests of all may be looked
after.
Another matter of interest will be the
question of free time on all classes of
coal at Mobile. An agreement is now in
force for an extension of time over the
usual for unloading cars and it is hoped
by the shippers that this can be ex-
tended to the domestic and the barge
business. The case is docketed against
to all the roads and all the firms doing
business in the Gulf City.
The Alabama Great Southern and the
Louisville and Nashville will be called
upon to explain why they took off pas
senger trains without permission of the
commission, in violation of orders A serv-
ice via the Louisville and Nashville
and the Seaboard to Gainesville, and Nos.
% and "a, Gadsden to Chattanooga, on
the Alabama Great Southern, were thus
let out. On Tuesday the question of the
Southern reducing the Sema-Akron serv-
ice to one train a day will be taken up.
Application is made to close agencies at
Patton and Hardwick, the first on the
Southern and the other on the Atlanta
and Birmingham. The Hartford Lum-
Der company would have the Tombigbee
railroad build better road, have more
modern equipment and provide better
service in every way, and the Frisco
would like to cut out what is known as
the Winfield accommodation from Win

Grover Cleveland, twice president
Of the United States, died at $40
O'Clock this morning az his home,
Wcstland, in this quiet college
town where he had lived since his
retirement as the nations chief
almost IL years ago.
While Mr.. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years
and had lost hundred pounds in
weight, his death came unexpected
ly.
Some three weeks ago he was
brought home from Lakewood,
where his condition for time was
such that the hotel at which he
was staying was kept open after
its regualr season because he was
too i'll to be moved. But when Mr..
Cleveland was brought back to
Princeton he showed signs of i'm
provement and actually gained five
pounds in weight.
Although confined to his rooms
continuously after his return to
Princeton, it was not until yestcr-
day Mr.. Clcveland's condition
aroused uneasiness on the part of
Mrs. Cleveland. Undoubtedly af-
fccted by the heat. Mr.. Cieve-
land showed signs OF failure and

The persons who furnish items
for newspaper are always valuable
friends to the newspaper editor.
Some persons always hesitate about
sending items to the newspaper

He thinks nothing of the kind,
but on the contrary he is always
glad to get such items. Many
