GADSDEN EAGER
 TO SEE MERGER
Expect to See Many Changes in Gadsden Properties as
 Result

Gadsden. April -(Special.)-The peo- pie of Gadsden are eagerly awaiting the definite announcement that the merger of the Southern Iron and Steel company and the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company has been effected. While there seems to be no doubt that the merger will go through. 1t will be re- lief when the transaction has been act ually completed, for then 1t is expected that steps will be taken at once looking to many changes in the local holdings of the two companies. There are also many plans for buildings and other inn provements that are only waiting on the certainty that there will be no hitch in the merger plans. The fact that the American Steel and Wrie company has proceeded with the work at Ensley Is also reassurng because many thought that if work was stopped on those plants that the merger would be also halted.
 City Engineer Charles F. Marsh has been making inspections of the construc- ton of chimneys in number of new houses that are being erected and found that the ordinance in the matter was being disregarded that in many instances the poorest of construction was resorted to by contractors and builders in order to reduce the cost. He ordered num- Der of chimneys torn out and will in- sist that the ordinances for freproof con- struction be observed.
 The Alabama City, Gadsden and Attalia railway has taken no step to operate
 it's cars on Chestnut street or to make the changes in its rails necessary for the proper paving of the street as re- quired by the ordinance of the city which was recently upheld in the supreme court. The courts held that the city can compel the car company to abide by the ordinance and this will probably be done although the management insists that 1t has no intention of defying the city, but is not in a financial condition to make the improvement. Also that It will take considerable time to get the special rails that will be required.

Snakes Greed Costs Life.

Owensville, Ind. Sept. 8.-Al-
va Montgomery, a farmer living
south of town, reports how a
chicken snakes greed got the
reptile into an awful predica-
ment and which FASTENED its un-
timely death. The snake, a
monstrous critter, was rambling
along searching for something
to swallow. 1t came upon two
hen eggs near a picket fence and
promptly downed them in great
glee. The snake looked about
for more of the same when it
spied a nest full of hen fruit on
the other side of the fence. The
eggs were so near the fence that
it was only necessary for the
snake to crawl half way through
to reach them and which it pro-
ceeded to do.
After swallowing two eggs the
snake decided that four whole
eggs in its stomach was plenty
for one meal. When it attempt
ed to leave the feast it found
that the space between the pick
cts was too small for it to go for
ward or backward. The first
two eggs the snake swallowed
made it impossible for the snake
to go forward and the other two
eggs prevented it from crawling
backward-t there it was a pris-
oner-and all because of its sell
fish greed. The snake was in
that condition when Mr.. Mont
gomery accidently discovered it.
He killed it with a club then and
there.

bore is A. centimeters in diam

progressively to five centimeters.
Measurements of temperature
have been made regularly. At

1874 degrees C. (1S2 degrees F.)
This gives a geothermis degree

feathers of all kinds. and the
fight only ended when the blue
heron had driven all the pelicans,
white storks, ducks and pigeons
into G far corner of the cage,
and stood with one leg lifted,

1t must have been the first
time the inhabitants of the peli-
can cage had ever seen a heron,
for they all gathered at the door
when Keeper Hurton let the
newcomer into the cage. Mrs.
Heron at once pounced upon a
young pelican. The other three
pelicans came to the rescue, be.

Drawing her head back. the
heron aimed at one of the NAL
lard ducks in the water tank and
drove her bill into the side of the
duck. From then on for five
minutes the old inhabitants
fought with the heron only to be
driven into a far corner of the
cage.
After Mrs. Heron had intro

FIRST Degree
Famous Murder Trial Comes to an
End---Beattie Will Die in the
Electric Chair.

Chesterfield Court House, Va,
Sept. Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr.. whose trial for alleged wife
murder has attracted the atten-
ton of the country for the last
fortnight, tonight was found
guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and sentenced to be electro
cuted at the Richmond peniten-
tiary on November "a.
The jurors minds were made
up, it was learned later, when
they left the court room. The
twelve Virginia farmers knelt in
prayer the first thing when lock-
ed in the room. Then one by
one voted unanimously for con-
viction.
For an hour, lacking two min
utes, they then considered the
evidence and the consequences,
prayed again for divine guild
ance, and returned to the court
room.
With one voice the whole We
nire shouted guilty" The
prisoner, who had been directed
by Judge Watson to stand, sank
into his seat and covered his face
with the sporting section of a
newspaper which he had been
reading.
The jurors neglected to fix the
degree of guilt. Since the Vir-
ginia law provides that unless
otherwise specified, it shall be
second degree, Judge Watson
sent the jurors back to decide on
the degree. They soon returned
having agreed on the first de-
gree.
