It is stated that by these means he secured sums ranging from $5 to s20. Information was given the police de- partment and Detectives White and Hartsfield were detailed on the case. The arrest of Flames followed shortly.
 Since his arrest information has been received from Wylam and Mulga alleg- ing that Flames has been operating the same scheme at those places. flames is well known in Ensley and served as a deputy several years ago. It Is also said he was formerly con nected with a detective agency in Bir- mingham.

INDULGE IN SNAKE
 HUNT ON HIGHLANDS

A striking example of coolness and lack of excitement although faced by coach whip snake occurred yesterday afternoon at the home of Robert c. Pierce on the South Highlands.
 The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce was playing in the front yard and started into the house. A large and dan gerous snake had crawled onto the front veranda and was trying to make it's way
 into the house through the screen door. The little girl cooly opened the screen. went in over the snake and proceeded to close the door in the reptiles face. The child went upstairs and announced to Mrs Pierce that a snake was on the front porch.
 Mrs. Pierce and servant went out and the snake was still trying to get inside. They proceeded to secure shovels, brooms, poles and other weapons to kill the serpent but it glided off the porch and went underneath the house. MT. Pierce was notified and snake hunt was immediately planned The snake was supposed to be seeking win ter quarters and tried the house.

The above reward was offered by the Electro Radio Institute for proof that any word uttered by them was false. came like a thunderbolt to those inclined to disbelieve the statements and testi- monals which have been published for the past two months in this paper. It had the desired effect on that class of people who made 1t their business to knock everything good or bad unless they were thoroughly versed in and approved it. and, strange to say, these people who were ready to condemn without so much as consultation, not to mention that they had never taken one treatment, were those that had never studied phys ics, much less the physiological actions of electricity to radium, and many had never so much as heard of that. They did not know that the Queen of England had donated $1,0oO000 toward it for the rapeutic uses for suffering humanity, that the government of France had rec ognized its great value and bestowed the greatest honors ever bestowed upon a scientist to the discoverer. That the curative powers of Carlsbad and Hot Springs are due to this element. That 1t is 10 times more powerful than the

FAMILY SAVED FROM
 BURNING BUILDING Fire Discharges Pistol Which ;, Wakes Them Up LOSS IS VERY HEAVY Committee of Clerks Union Has Gone to New Orleans to Consult Presi-
 dent Curran on the Sub-
 ject of Wages
LOSS IS VERY HEAVY

Meridian, Miss ., September 20.-(Spe- cial.)-The report of pistol undoubtedly saved the lives of the wife and two chill dren of John H. Horne, special agent of the Northeastern road, and L. l.. Lin son of the Northeastern shops, his wife and child, at an early hour this morn ing, when the Horne home on Twenty second avenue was today destroyed by fire.
 The inmates of the house were awak- ened by the report of the pistol, which had been discharged by the fire, just in time to make their escape from the burn ing building.
 The fire had spread from the kitchen and was eating it's way into the bed rooms when the alarm was sounded.
 All had to leave the house in their night clothes, MT. Linson carrying his wife and baby through smoke, while Mrs. Horne heroically saved her children in a similar manner, MT. Horne being away from home. The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss was about 5000.
 There are no new developments in the recent demand of the Railroad Clerks union on the Queen and Crescent for an increase in wages and shorter hours. A committee from the local union, com- posed of the president and secretary, Messrs. Smylie and Ledbetter and others went to New Orleans today to have a conference with President D. D. Curran of the New Orleans and Northeastern, at his suggestion. Local officials of the road are not being consulted, but they strike resulting. A great deal depends on the conference with President Cur ran.
 The organization of the clerks here is thorough and compact. Whatever con- sessions are made to Meridian probably will be demanded by other places simi- larly situated on the Queen and Crescent. Two private cars have been in the yards today. They bore T. c. Powell, vice president of the Queen and Crescent; Horace Baker, general manager; E. T. Steele, freight agent of Birmingham. It is denied that their presence had anything to do with the demands of the union, 1t being stated that they were on an inspection tour
 An outrageous piece of malicious mis- chief came to light today when 1t was discovered that the handsome $3500 pipe organ at the First Baptist church had been put out of commission by an in cendiary. Panels of the organ had beer removed and parts of the instrument sci on fire allowed to burn few moments
 and then extinguished. In this way the miscreant succeeded in damaging the in- strument to the amount of about $500.
 The outrage has created great indigna- tion and every possible effort is being sci | forth to discover the guilty party ol parties The damage is covered by in. surance, but the organ will be useless foi | some time. Church officials are at loss to understand what prompted the out. ] rage.

have caused the decision to delay the election. It Is said that MT. Exum thinks the new administration should be allowed to select it's own officers.
 The delay, however, hinges upon the election of those officers for which there is a hot contest, and especially is this true with reference to the Ensley record ership and the city physician. A canvass of the aldermen seems to have developed the fact that certain candidates would have better chance of election after the new aldermen come in.
 The fight for these offices is raging every minute, and developments today may again change the complexion of the situation.
