FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE.
Rob Mckenzie Is Acquitted of Embez-
 element Charge.

Talladega, April 2-(5pecial )-Fire de- stroyed a two-story dwelling on West street at an early hour Thursday morn ing. For some unexplained reason the alarm was not given in time for the de- partment to be of much service in ex- tlnguishing the flames. The lower story of the dwelling was occupied by a widow, Mrs. Harden; the upper chambers were rented by MT. Wheaton. The latter lost almost his entire personal property, and this was the continuation of a series of misfortunes, as he has been unfortunate financially, and lost his fingers in some machinery which has incapacitated him from work for months past.
 The trial of the case of the state vs. Rob Mckenzie resulted in verdict of not guilty, after three days of hearing in the city court. The charge was em- bezzlement and the case was of much local interest, owing to the prominence of the parties. MT. Treadwell claimed that he delivered to the defendant a large sum of money with which 1t was pro- posed that he and Mckenzie should em- bark in the liquor business in Chatta- nooga; this proposed business was not enter ed upon. after both parties had wis ited Chattanooga, but Mckenzie opened a whisky business at Pensacola, and it was insisted that the money in question was invested in the Pensacola business. The jury remained in deliberation not more than three hours, returning a yer dict clearing Mckenzie.
 There was white frost in Talladega Friday morning. The peaches in this sec ton have been generally killed. and much damage has been done to early gardens. Farming operations during the past week have had quite favorable season, owing to the dry weather and workable condi- ton of the soil. About the usual acreage of cotton is being planted.

 Charles Wilson, convicted in the circuit court of the murder of Columbus Ford ney, was given a term of ninety-nine years in the penitentiary by the trial jury, and sentence will be imposed upon him on Saturday by Judge Bullard. The tragedy occurred in this city last August, and was on account of rivalry in business and in love. The killing was done at night with a pistol, in the yard of the house occupied by Maggie Lindsay, the woman in the case. The circuit court jury Is now engaged upon the trial of Mack Young also charged with murder, and it is believed that the case will be concluded and all other business will be wiped on the docket in time to permit the court to take final adjournment for the term on Saturday night.

 Cambridge M Race Today

London, April 2.-Wretehed weather dur ing the earlier weeks of the year and the continual changes in the crews as a result of illness among the members have de- tracted somewhat from the interest in the annual boat race between Oxford and Cambridge. to be rowed over the Putney to Mort Lake course tomorrow.
 Since the crews arrived at Putney, how ever. they have shown in their full course trials that they are of exceptional merit. Enthusiasm has been revived and the weather being favorable a great crowd will line the Thames banks The hour set for the race, about 30. is rather in- convenient, but when Englishmen are really interested in a sporting event they generally find time to see It.
 Thus far, Oxford has made the best time in practice, covering the full course OH March IS in the record time of IS min utes 21 seconds, and equalled by Cam bridge in 1900. The best time made by Cambridge in practice was 19 minutes 2

The game was an exceedingly one-sided affair, there never being any doubt as to the outcome Alabama opened up in the second inning when four hits netted four runs. In the fifth and sixth innings the varsity annexed four and five runs re- spectively The last score was made in the seventh, when Tucker received e free pass and came in on Waite's hit. Chat tanooga's only run came in the sixth, when Rollins landed safe and Fair fol- lowed with a neat bingle. The game was without special feature. Both teams suc- ceeded in landing safe several times. but the Chattanooga bunch was unable to field the ball, total of 10 errors being charged against them Alabama men had no difficulty in stealing bases, while Vaughan's work prevented anything like this on the part of the visitors.

3dronS In Poor Form, BrOOkLyn Wins;
 Umpire Burke Has Spectator Elected

The Barons did not show up well yes terday afternoon. and the game was with out interest.
 The score: Brooklyn IS, Birmingham 1.
 Ford. who opened for the Barons, showed up fairly we'll and had several unfortunate miscues not occurred he would have escaped lightly
 During the reign of Bauer, who fol- lowed, the miscues continued, and the Louisianian showed fatal unfamiliarity with the plate. This last defect was the secret of his undoing.
 Pastorious, who opened for Brooklyn, held the Barons at his mercy throughout. His greased fast ones whistled through ons were able to go.
 When Scanlon succeeded, however, the courage of the Barons surged forth again, and in this inning four runs were smashed across the pan. With Bauer down, Hen line hit safe. Bowen was walked. Man ager Molesworth thereupon proceeded to deliver a stiff triple to deep right. the two men on sacks scampering home. Molesworth scored on a luscious bingle off the stick of Frank Gygli.
 The fifth run of the Barons occurred in the seventh. Scanlon could not To- cate the plate. and as a result several players got on bases. Henline finally raced home on an infield out
 But Brooklyn scored throughout the game. As stated the Barons showed poor form There were several instances of stage fright. several dumb plays and five miserable miscues that are tabulated.
 The game was without feature save for the hard hitting of the Brooklyn aggrega- ton.
 Umpire Joe Burke attempted to inject life into tho sport by requesting an eff cient cop to remove a verbose individual from the bleachers. Joe complained that this fellow had used language strong and uncouth. and had criticized the umpire on several occasions.
 The cop proceeded to do his painful duty, while the spectators rose from their seats the better to see and the players of both teams ran to the banks of the bleachers.
 The excitement was intense. Through it all Joe Burke stood with arms folded, the intrepid hero that he is.

IRWIN WILHELM
 IS VERY HOPEFUL

Irwin Wilhelm, the old Baron pitcher who is ranked second of the Brooklyn twirlers, believes that the Superbas will make a better showing this season than in several years gone.
 fThe indications" he said. ''are that we Vlll hit better. Lack of hits has caused our downfall many times.'
 Wilhelm believes that the Brooklyn team will swat the ball timely this season. and that this will aid in winning a large number of games
 The Brooklyn team won it's last pennant in Isoo. The other was in 1890. This is the year, therefore. for Brooklyns third
