CARBOLIC ACID.
Drank by Two-Year-old at Fulton,
With Fatal Result.

Fulton, Ky, May 30.-One of the
most shocking accidents that evel
occurred in Fulton took place this
morning about 1890 o'clock wher
little Mary Ellen, the pretty 2-year
old daughter of the Rev. and
Mrs, M. E. Staley, by mistake drank
carbollc acid from the effects OF
which she died forty-fve minutes
later. 1t seems that the poison,
which was in can, was placed in
refrigerator, kept there as disin-
tectant and to keep ants away.
While placing ice in the box the
mother set the can aside, and, un-
observed, the child drank OF its con-
tents.
Rev, Stanley and family have on
ly lived in this city about five
months, he having been called to
the pastorate of the first Baptist
Church, of Fulton, from Humboldt,
Tenn.
The funeral will take place from
the first Baptist Church Monday

FELL CITY JAIL
 FOUND TOO TRAIL
JOHN CROW IS BROUGHT HERE FOR SAFEkEEPING-FIVE MEN FAD MADE ESCAPE FROM FELL CITY JAIL.

John Crow was brought to Birmingham Saturday night from Pell City and lodged in the Jefferson county jail for safe keeping, the calaboose at that town hav- ing been found to be too easy for him to break out of. Crow is charged with grand larceny, 1t being alleged that he appropriated another mans mule to his own use.
 Incidents leading up to his being brought to Birmingham are very inter- esting. Crow, with four other men, were being held in the Pell City bastile await ing trial The jail in question is frame building with fence around it, and dur ing the day the five prisoners were all lowed the freedom of the yard, being locked up late every afternoon
 Several days ago the warden locked up what he supposed was all of the five men, but only four were behind the door when he turned the key. He had placed all five men in the room, but as he turned to go out one of the men as quick and as stil. as a shadow slipped out behind him and hid until after the warden had left the calaboose for the night
 In the darkness this prisoner then climbed the fence and went to nearby sawmill, where he seized upon a brace and bit and saw. Returning to the jail he climbed the fence back Into tine yard, the going to the door which separated the other four men from freedom pro- ceeded to bore and saw out that part of the door holding the lock. It then re- quired but few minutes for the entire quintet to be at liberty.
 Four of the men made good their es- cape. but Crow breathed but a few hours of freedom. being recaptured the next day. No more chances were taken in regard to his safety. however, and the sheriff of St. Clair county went before justice of the peace swore that the cala- boose at Pell City was not strong enough 10 hold Crow and brought him to Bir- mingham.

FIRE IS AYERTED
 IN O'NEILL STORE
PAPERS IN OFFICE ON THIRD Av- ENUE WERE BLAZING WHEN DIscovERED-FIRE AT AVON. DALE BASKET FACTORY.

The fortunate discovery of the blaze and the quick response of the fire department averted a dangerous fire in the Third ave- nue store of "The Fair" run by John w. O'Neill, early yesterday morning. Shortly before o'clock the attention of num- Der of men sitting in the office of the Green Undertaking company was attract ed by the reflection of blaze in the plate glass windows across Third avenue, and upon Investigating they found that a fire had been started in the office of '"rhe F,air'' just few doors above them. A great lot of bills hanging on files in the office had been ignited in some man. ner and were burning fercely. The im- mediate response of the fire department prevented the spread of the blaze. It is thought the papers were purposely set afire by some one, as the window of the office had been partially raised and the files were only just inside the window.
 Last night shortly after 8 o'clock the fire department at Avondale was called to First avenue, between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets. The fire was in the plant of the Avondale Basket factory, which was partially destroyed. The dam age done to the plant was not great.

Aldermen WOn-OmmittAI
 As 10 FeAgin Reelection
All Questioned Last Night Were With One Exception Not Ready to Express Themselves Several Candidates
 Understood to Be in Field for the Place

And the aldermen have developed a hitherto unmarked timidity.
 With the single exception of MT. Estes, eight members of the board questioned last night refrained from an expression of their choice.
 Right off the reel, however came MT. Estes reply: T am for Judge Feagin. first, last and all the time, and further more, have no second choice"
 The remaining seven interrogated, how ever, were on the fence.
 None other favored the candidacy of the judge None other opposed him.
 The replies of the remaining seven came ln this way:
 Alderman Burnett-"It is entirely too early to discuss the natter
 Alderman Gregg-'T have no idea of the situation at this time and prefer to say nothing"
 Alderman Morgan-"I am not in posi- tion to make a statement at the present tme'
 Alderman D. R. Copeland-"I am not expressing myself as concerns that mat ter.'
 Alderman J. R. Copeland-"I haven't anything to say.
 Alderman Klotz-'I haven't made up my mind concerning the matter.
 Alderman Heidt-'I had rather say nothing at the present moment.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-19

Does the city council plan to defeat Judge Feagin?
 The rumor has gained ground through out the city that another judge of the police court will be nominated in De oember.
 While no candidate has made formal announcement, several are in the race. and several have requested support from members of the council
 Judge Feagln, who has served the city for number of terms. and who has acquired a fame probably more wide spread than any other police court judge in the south, will ask for another term.
 Clarence Ballard, the young attorney who took such a prominent part in the prohibition agitation, and who is at pres. ent a leading figure In the Law and Order league, is said to be among the number of aspirants for this position.
 H. B. Abernathy, for number of years judge of the inferior court, a leader of the city executive committee. and a we'll known citizen, has received prominent mention. although he has not launched a campaign.
 ". P. McCrossn and E. c. Crow, we'll known attorneys, are considered by the aldermen as having entered tie contest.
 And the situation is assuming an in- teresting aspect.

NOT A MIRACLE. Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable things happening every day. which seem almost miraculous.
 Some persons would not believe that a man could suffer from coffee drinking so severely as to cause spells of unconscious ness. And to find complete relief in changing from coffee to Postum is well worth recording.
 'I used to be a great coffee thinker, so much so that 1t was killing me by inches. My heart became so weak would fall and lie unconscious for an hour at a time. The spells caught me sometimes two or three times day.
 My friends, and even the doctor. told me it was drinking coffee that caused the trouble I would not believe 1t, and still drank coffee until could not leave my room.
 Then my doctor. who drinks Postum himself, persuaded me to stop coffee and try Postum. After much hesitation I concluded to try it. That was eight months ago. Since then I have had but few of those spells, none for more than four months.
 .'I feel better, sleep better and amN> ter every way. l now drink nothing bat Postum and touch no coffee and as I am 70 years of age all my frienis think the improvement quite remarkabls.'

642 ADDITIONS ID BAPTIST CHURCHES Great Series of Union Revivals
 Ended Last Night MASS MEETING YESTERDAY Each Pastor in District Makes Short Talk on Thing That Impressed
 Him Most During Great
 Revival Meetings.
MASS MEETING YESTERDAY

What has proven to be probably the greatest revival in the history of the Baptist churches of Jefferson county drew to a close last night At big mass meet ing held in the First Baptist church, Bir- mingham, at o'clock in the afternoon, each pastor of the various churches in a few words gave his idea of the thing that impressed him most during the cam pagn, while talks by prominent Baptists from other places made the occasion an impressive one. The speakers from a distance were Dr. P. D. Gray of Atlanta and pr. W. B. Crumpton of Montgomery.
 This revival lasted three weeks, during which protracted services were held in every Baptist church in the district with the exception of two. These two were the Woodlawn and East Lake churches. account of the illness of the evangelists who were to lead the meetings they were postponed. Despite this, however, be churches showed gains in membership during the time the revival lasted.
 Reports were also made at the mass meeting on the number of additions to the various churches as the result of the campaign. This showed the Southside Baptist church to be in the lead with 10 additions, while the First Baptist came next with s7. followed closely by Pratt City with 59 and West End with 5S. The other churches followed in splendid order, the percentage of additions to the num- Der of people reached in some of them being even greater than in the larger churches.
 Another feature of the meeting yester- day afternoon was the baptising of 4o members of the Southside church by Dr. Preston Blake, the pastor. The Southside church is still using it's Sunday school room for holding church services, the church edifice not being complete. and has no baptistry and it was for this req son the applicants were baptised in the First Baptist church.
 Detailed report on the total number of additions to the various churches as made at the meeting reads:

TWELVE ENGINES
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

Amarillo, Tex, October 1S.-Fire discov- cred shortly after o'clock this morning destroyed the roundhouse and shops of the Santa Fe railroad in this city, en- tailing a loss of approximately s2oooOo, partly covered by insurance
 The origin of the fire is unknown fur ther than that the flames started in the southwest end of the roundhouse and spread rapidly under a swift south wind through the machine shops. Twelve en- zines were burned, in addition to several cars, the coal chute, water tank, pumping station, oil tanks and sundry supplies.
 The shops and roundhouse were located beyond the fire limits and this, coupled with the fact that the fire had made great progress before the alarm was turned in greatly handicapped the volun- teer department
 Vast quantities of coal were in the chute and yards and caught fire along with the structures. The property is almost a total loss.
