Hartsele November S.-(Special .)-Sher- If T. B. Shipp and his deputy arrived here late yesterday evening having in custody W. W.

He was taken aboard the late train and lodged in jail about o'clock yesterday evening.
 The election here today is passing off quietly and at this hour it seems that there will be a light vote boiled here from what was expected. Dr. R. B. Sherrill, the independent candidate, will carry this box by slight majority, but ft Is not thought that he can overcome the gain made by Judge Skeggs in the Decaturs.
 Many democrats who have supported Ahe nominees of the party heretofore are voting for pr. R. B. Sherrill, the in- dependent candidate.

REY. STALL IS
 BADLY BRUISED
TRIAL OF HIS AsSAILANTS IN AN WESTON DID NOT COME UP YEs- TERDAY-THE AFFAIR IS VERY MUCH REGRETTED

Annlston, November 9.-(Special. )-Ross who figured in the sensational attack by Chatham and Minnie Hgginbotham, wife of c. H. Higginbotham, on Father o. P. Stahl at the union passenger station yes terday afternoon were out of the city when the assault cases were called In the Anniston police court this morning, as result of which the cases wenta over for the day.
 Father Stahl as not been seriously in- 3ured as a, result of the attack, though his face is pretty ba<ly bruised and one of his teeth has been loosened as a re- suit of the vicious attack by the wom- an after he had been knocked down by Chatma n It is not thought, however, that he will lose the tooth.
 The attack on Father Stahl has ere ated no little indignation, and he has been held entirely bameless by all who have become acquainted with the facts in the case.
 Father Stahl Is man of aristocratic birth his father having been a general of high command in the German army. He was educated in medicine and phil osophy at Paris, and on giving up the medical profession he entered the priest hood He came to Anniston several years ago and has been well received as pas tor of Sacred Heart church. He is man of brilliant intellect and has made many friends by his genialty.
 In the event Chatham and Higgin- botham return to the city in time the case will probably be tried in police court the latter part of the week. It Is now regarded as a regrettable mistake all the way through, and it is probable that the aggressors in the attack on Father Stahl will be fined a small sum for dis orderly conduct and the entire matter diap1issed

THREE CITIES TALK
 OF CONSOLIDATION Gadsden, Alabama City and
 Attalla May Unite
A HEAVY VOTE IS CASE
Burnett Seems to Have Majority s Over HOward-Negro Wom-
 an Stabs a Man

Gadsden, November S.-(Special)- a meeting of the city council last night, T.. s. Kyle appeared before that body and made plea for action in behalf of a steps for incorporating the three cities of Gadsden, Alabama City and Attalla into one municipality and planning all fu- ture Improvements with this end in view. He said that large number of the men now employed at the plants of the South ern Iron and Steel company were sup porting their families elsewhere for the reason that better accommodations could be secured. He said that be believed that If these people were to come here we must make home life attractive in what are now outlying sections by the exten- sion of the water system, the improve ment of streets and sidewalks, by better police protection and improvements in many other ways.
 As a result of his presentation of the situation a committee was appointed by the council to confer with the officials of the other towns inte rested, with the 1oN'NSif DNSi'SoS @ACi . CiuD, anu Wltii the county members of the legislature for the purpose of securing If possible a per feet harmony of action. The action of MT. Kyle has aroused a good deal of en- thusiasm among the progressive residents of this city, and if the other towns will be equally ready to see that our interests are all identical and that unity of action Is the great requisite to carry out the plan 1t will be successful.
 Annie Williams, a negress, last night stabbed and killed a negro at the furnace quarters of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company.

1t will be very difficult for her to get away.
 The weather was ideal in Gadsden to- day and the election started off briskly from the time the polls were opened in the morning. By noon there were about 800 votes cast in the city and from re- ports over the county are to the effect that it is equally heavy over the country districts. It Is thought that the vote polled will be heavier than at the presi- dential election two years ago, which was the heaviest ever boiled in the county. Both the democrats and the republicans are out in force and are doing all in their power to get every voter to the polls. Both are expressing confidence, but the best bet seems to be that Burnett will win in this county by from 200 to 300 votes and that he will carry the county ticket with him. Such meager reports as have come In from over the district are also favorable to the Burnett cause, and the Howard men have quit wagering on their favorite although Burnett money was much more plentiful than 1t has been for the past several weeks.

WiIkinsOn's Estimate

Estimate of Commissioner of Agricul- ture J. A. Wilkinson that the 1910 cotton crop is in lamentable condition as a this state last week, has had somewhat of a disquieting effect in the cotton mar ket centers of this section of the state. In the opinion of the commissioner, 1t is given out that the crop that was stand Ing at the time of the frost is now 50 per cent short of it's promise. In other words. he estimates that just about 50 per cent of the standing crop was killed, crop of 1910 will just about aggregate the 1909 output. s

Old Sores Revived

Action similar to steps recently taken in Mobile, when several city officials were indicted on charges of illegally hold ing office. may be taken in Montgomery at an early date if cloudy atmosphere which now surrounds Alderman J. C.. Conner and former Alderman w. W. Sei- del is not cleared within the next few days Doubt has sprung up over the positions of the aldermen as result of their employment by public service cor porations. a
 At session of the council held this week Alderman Conner sprang doubt of the validity of his office, under inter- pretation of sections 1175 and 14S of the municipal code, which forbids city of ficials holding office if they are employed by public corporations.
 If decision is reached that Alderman Conner is not legally entitled to his office in the city council, anxious rumor has a standing inquiry out as to what effect the Seidel parallel would have upon the situa- ton. Some contend that every bond is- sue in which MT. Seidel voted during the past two years would be illegal, If at any time such an issue was authorized by a majority of one, of which majority MT. Sedel happened to be a part.
