HACK" IS DEAD

Jack is dead, and the wide circle of acquaintances who knew and esteemed the deceased are in deep mourning.
 Jack died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at local infrmary, death coming after he had suffered two severe hemor- images. The funeral services were con-, ducted at the residence of his master, and amid simple but impressive ceremony he was inferred. his casket swathed in the red, white and blue of his country's flag. The Gaudin Undertaking company officiated.
 Thus reads the obituary eulogium of Jack" the 13-year-old bull dog, who was until yesterday the property of Johnnie Collins, well-known and popu- lar in this city The faithful old dog was game to the last, and when the skill of a veterinary surgeon failed to relieve him he gave his masters hand last feeble lick and closed his eyes
 The dog numbered his friends by the hundreds, and when the news of his death became known a few of them de- sired to pay their last respects in an ap- propriate manner. He was given a hu-' man burial, a small caslet being ordered made and a resting place provided for him under his favorite rosebush in the yard of MT. Collins residence on the' North Highlands. In token of his serv- ices local livery company provided the carriages for the mourners free of charge, and with Jacks body occupying the hearse at the head of the cortege, filed solemnly out to the grave.
 Almost everybody knew Jack. He was the friend of every ballplayer in the cir cult and Birmingham citizens who had not made his acquaintance are far in the minority.
 His funeral was simple. It was not of the costly kind which Newport society women give their pet poodles. and no one will criticise because money was spent to bury dog. Jack" deserved its as everybody will, agree

DR. FIELDS MAKES
 APPEAL TO EXUM

Dr. E. T. Fields, whose recent fight with Alderman M H. McDowell of Ens- ley attracted attention, was a visitor at the city hall yesterday. Dr. Fields. carried with him the map of the plat of his land which was the cause of his trouble.
 It seems that he filed the plat the day following the adoption by the council of an ordinance making it un- lawful for a property owner to sub divide his land into lots unless his division was approved by the city en-' gineer and prohibiting the building in- spector from issuing building permits until the city engineer approves tho plat
 Dr. Fields was instructed by the city engineer to make changes in his prop erty lines. He appealed to Mayor Exum who said that he had nothing to do with the matter.

Chairman Stallings. "the vote will run over 12o,0o0, and O'Neal will carry ev- cry county in the state with d total majority of over 70,00O.
 This election determines the voting strength of the various counties in the democratic convention, which selects judges for the supreme court and dele- gates to the national convention. We do not expect many candidates to for- felt their right to participate in their party affairs by scratching the state ticket. In future the bars will be up and every man who leaves the demo- cratic party while under a pledge to support it's nominees will be out for- ever'
 Frank H. Lathrop, chairman of the republican committee, said: T expect Tn ompson to carry the state by ma jority of at least 50,000. The voters in Alabama are independent now and will not be misled."

The entire community was stirred by the assault and as soon as 1. wao known posse was organized and a search was instituted for the negro. The party secured the mountains around but with out success. It was reported that the fugitive had been sighted and large number of shots were fired but none took effect.
 The posse remained out the entire aft- ernoon searching the woods for the negro but finally gave Up the quest when dark ness fell. The detectives returned to Birmingham when they found that the negro had escaped. The deputies re~ maned at Graces until nightfall and then returned 10 Birmingham.
