COULTER RESIDENCE BURNED

Gavin's big steam whistle sounded
the alarm of fire Monday forenoon and
the blaze was soon located at Al Coal.
ter's reSidcnce N Lincoln avenue.
The volunteer fre der4rtment made
quick run to the scene with both
carts and soon two streams of water
with an excellent pressure were play
ing on the flames.
The FIRE had made such great head
way, however, that it was impossible
to extinguish it until the household
goods We're all consumed and the build
ing was a complete wreck.
1t is not known how the fire started
but it must have been from a defec-
tive flue. No one was in the house at
the time the fire started except Mr..
Coulter's daughter, Pearl The girl
was sitting in the dining room when
she heard cracking noise. She start
ed up stairs only to find that the entire
upper portion of the house was in
flames. She rushed to a neighbor's s ami
phoned in the alarm. The loss is about
$4,000, partially covered by insurance.
The blow is hard one to Mr. Coul.
ter and he has the sympathy of the
community in this misfortune.

 SLOW FALL
 OF WATERS The Eye Can Note But Little Change. TALL LESS THAN A FOOT The TalIapoosa Is Quick to Empty
 Flood Waters. TAe Crest of the Flood is Nearing sel- ms, Where the Height win
 Net Be Over Fifty four Feet. 

The fall in the Alabama River for the past twenty=four hours Is told by the simple bulletin of che Weather Ru- reau-.5 of a foot, within the stated period. This rate will continue for some days. The land on the Elmore County side will be in the grasp of the turbid flood for many days to come. Danger of flooding industries of the city. however. was passed Monday morning.
 Montgomerians expecting the high waters of the Alabama to fall rapidly were surprised on looking at the stream during yesterday. As far as the eye could perceive without a glance at the gauge, the flood was sweeping over the lowlands of Fillmore County with undiminished force. The gauge, however. showed that there had been somewhat of a fall.
 Section Director Chaffee of the Weather Bureau service. stated yes- terday that the river at Milstead was falling rapidly. but as the Tallapoosa runs up rapidly and empties its flood at the same rate, it's effect on the com ditions of the Alabama River are com paratively slight.
 At Wetumpka the fall was II feet; at Gadsden the river was practically stationary: at Resaca the fall recorded during the past twenty-four hours was 8 of a foot
 The crest of the flood is rapidly nearing Selma, where stage of 5-.s feet was reported yesterday, with the river still rising. It is expected that the full crest of the flood will reach the Central City by this morning, when stage of between 53 and 54 feet will be officially recorded The Hood will then remain practically stationary for a few days, before the gradual fall sets in.
 Locally the steady fall will continue The low grounds. of Fillmore County across from the foot of Commerce Street, will remain submerged for many days to come, as a fall of some twenty feet is required before dry land will appear. Even then 1t will take several days for the deposit of mud, rich in fertilizer, to dry.
 All roads of the horseshoe bend op- posite Commerce Street will have to be reconstructed
 Haul Ice by Train.
 During the flood period all ice has been shipped into the city by the rail- road bridge. For several days past car loads have been sent in from the fac- tory to the depot. where it has been reloaded into wagons for city use
 officials of the ice company said yes- terday afternoon that the bridge and road on North Court Street had been put in such condition by the city authori- ties as to insure a safe passage for wagons. and that no further trouble getting ice into Montgomery by teams would be experienced
 The flood stage in North Montgom- cry caused by the backing up of the waters from the Alabama will remain for several days to come. and all ne- gro quarters in that section of the city will be uninhabitabIe. It Is not thought

that any considerable damage has been done by the water. and as soon asJ the waters leave the streets work will be begun in getting the negro tenants in- stalled in their homes. No developments were recorded yes- terday in the search for the bodies of the i've men who were drowned last Wednesday morning. Small boats and launches were out on the river all morning and afternoon, aiding the aearchers in their launch, but no signs or the dead were discovered.
 Usually the Alabama gives up it's dead within forty-eight hours after the drowning. but on account of the high water 1t is supposed that the bodies have been caught in the branch es of the submerged trees. in such a manner that thev cannot be dis1odged. Active search will not. however. be abandoned. as a return of some of the current to the old bed of the stream may dislodee the bodies from any ob- struction which may hold them in its grasp.
 Railroad ofYicials are pleased that all possibilities of interference with traf- fc on railroads. north and south of the city. are of a negligible quantity. Trains all oA-yesterday were marked up as on time. Road beds are said to be in excellent shape, and at no place are trains warnedto slow speed.

Two white men were put or freight train No. 2O9 on the Western Railway of Alabama between Montgomery and Selma at Benton today about 12 o'clock At first 1t was thought the two men were the robbers who last Wednesday night entered the depot of the Western Railway at Notasulga and taking the safe therefrom broke 1t open and took the contents.
 A special agent of the Western Rail- way of Alabama in Montgomery dis covered Inc fact that the two men were on the train.
