 Almost coincidents with the resignation of President Diaz 1t is expected that there will be offered the resfgnations of nu- merous army officials and federal author ities who prefer to retire with their chief instead of awaiting possible elimination by the Madero government. Among those who are known to have presented already their resignations is Gen. Samuel Gar cia Cuelar, the officer who commanded the federals at the battle of Casas Grandes. Since then Gen. Garcia Cuellar has been at the head of the presidential staff. Another man who is expected to leave his governments service at once Is Guillermo de Landay.

The Night Concert

No overture is heard so often as Tanphouser It has been played by nearly every orch estra and concert band that has appeared in BirmingA ham. Usually it has been acceptably played and sometimes exceptionally well rendered, but 1t would be diff cult to recall any occasion when this favorite overture was so much enjoyed as it was last night. Among MT. Her berts strong points are his effective dynamics and his artistic saneness. These two qualities were brought out very strikingly in she overture.
 MT. Croxton was enthusiastically greeted. He sang Evening Star" from Tannhauser which was especially fit- ting, coming as it did immediately after the overture. He has a noble voice. and in his vocalzation and intellectual development comes up fully to high modern standards. He is not only a singer, but he is musicianly singer For an encore he sang an old Scotch song, which made a pronounced hit with the audience.
 Bachs classic air was played in classic style, and the vivacious alle- gretto from Beethoven's eighth sym phony was one of the best things the orchestra did.
 Madame Schumann-H Heinks appearance for her first number on the programme was the signal for a hearty demonstra- ton. This superb artist is one of the few, perhaps the only one, who is equal ly at home in sacred music, in opera both grand and comic, in ballads and in folk songs. She is the greatest Wag merriam singer of the present time, and no oratorio artist measures up to her. Her first solo last night was certainly a notable acf ievement. The audience was tumultuous in its applause. The demon- stration was prolonged and earnest, and
 in responding Madame Schumann- Heink sang But the Lord Is Mindful of His Own,' from "St. Paul"
 MT. Croxton, in his second number met with another cordial reception. He had many recalls and was forced to respond

back to catch the brake handle. In

however, he caught the spoke Of the

from the wagon and the wheel ran
over his head. A long cash was cut
from the top Of his head to his mouth
and even one tooth was injured. He
got up with his face covered in blood

ing to Join his two uncles, who lived
in Virginia. He had had training
as miner, and expected to follow
that business when opportunity Of
fered Landing in Pennsylvania,
the first work that came to hand was
gathering chestnuts in the Allegha-
uey mountains, at which he saved
his first money, two dollars. Then
he worked with an engineering par
ty and earned money to continue his
journey to his uncles, Henry and
John kube, where he stayed two
years. While engaged at the Butt
mine he became acquainted with
Commodore Stockton, the foremost
miner and business man Of that day,
who took a fancy to the young man.
Stockton, who had mines all over
the country, including the Howie in
this county, soon sent him as an ore
inspector to Kings Mountain, then
as superintendent Of the Howie mine.
Here he remained till the breaking
out of the war in 81, when he vol
unteered as Confederate soldier,
in Wyatt's Company, 4Sth Regiment.
After being Frustrated with rheuma-
tism, he was detailed by the Confed-
crate government to the High Shoal
Iron Works to secure ore to make
cannon. Here he served till the
close of the war.
After the war he bought a farm
near Pleasant Grove and began life
as a farmer at the age Of 35 years.
Though a new work to him, the in
telligence and industry that charac-
terize the German people, soon won
success and he was a thrifty and in
telligent farmer, till 1887, when he
moved to Monroe.
In 1860 he was married TO Miss
Wolfe of the Pleasant Grove section,
who with all their children survive.
The children are: Mrs. W. II. HOWE,
Mrs. J. N. Niven, Mrs. J. E. Efrd,
Mrs. H. L. Taylor, Miss Amelia
Krauss and Messrs. f. II. and W. S.
Krauss. There are many grand
children, and two great grandchil-
dren, those Of DR.. w. r. Mccain.
On the 10Th Of last May, Mr., and
Mrs. Krauss celebrated the 50th an
niversary Of their wedding, which
was most happy occasion.
Ripe in years, rich in the high es-
TEEN Of his fellow men, and bearing
the love of little children, he spent
his declining years peacefully and
happily with his family, and finally
peacefully laid down life made
rich b. simple faith, steady indus r.
and good will towsrds all men. The
world is richer for the life Of such a
man, and those who knew the sweet
and cheerful spirit Of the old gentle
man will never forget it.

ever, suspected something wrong,
and in order to assist the officers
and give them time to work up the
case, he dated his check April 3 and
wrote across its face, Not TO be paid
until April g. In the meantime Mr.

the suspicious appearance of Vow
and Taylor Immediately upon their
arrival in the city, calledon Mr.. Fra
Ter and the arrest Of the two young
men followed. They at first claimed
to have secured the outli, at Lancas-
ter, having traded there for team

quaintances.
Taylor was merely friend, not
the possessor of any of the property,
but nevertheless had tried to make a
deal at Lancaster and Fort Lawn.
