Uncertainty as to the Sequel.
Excited Comment in Paris.

The decision of the ministry to with
draw has caused an enormous political
sensation. The conservative news
papers are sounding a note of alarm.
They declare that the forces OF ey-
IRENE radicalism are triumphins over
sane, and progressive reform, regard
ing the clerical issue. which was rails
ed yesterday, as a mere pretext to at
tain Brands downfall. They point
out that it is ridiculous to accuse OF
clericalism the man who constructed
the separation law, and now that the
church and state are completely di-
vorced. NJ. BRAND has been merely fol-
lowing out a general program of zap
peasement."
The vote in the chamber of deputies
last night. therefore. is interpreted as
the result of an intrigue among Bri-
and's adversaries in his own party.

gram of arbitration in labor disputes

Bay Nnnette, August 2.-(Special.)- Sheriff o. B Richardson has received a
 notice from Dr. W. II. Oates, Alabama state prison inspector, of the closing of
 the Baldwin county jail, as the result Of a decision reached since inspecting the iail some time ago.
 The condition of the local jail has been commented on some time and by several of the grand juries during the past two years. hut nothing definite has been done regarding the erection of new structure. The local commissioners will hold their Lext meeting on the 14th instant, at which time the matter of constructing new stronghold will be brought up.
 The local officials decline to make any. statement as to what will be done in reference to the notice received, but it is certain that they will do something at once A number believe that the present jail can be added to in such a manner that the county will be put to but small expense as compared to what a new jail would cost. The final decision, however will not be reached until the commits sioners have their meeting.

FORD AND LANE HOLD
 LONG CONFERENCE
Commissioners At Yesterdays Meet ing Shocked By News of Post
 master Montgomery Death

Commissioner A. O. Lane and A. H. Ford of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company held an extended conference yesterday before noon upon soIGe topic which the popular mind sug- gested was the 5-cent car fare proposition between Ensley and Birmingham
 The officials did not make any state ment about their talk.
 Commissioner Lane only said after the meeting that the proposition was being handled as quickly as possible, but that no new developments had taken place.
 The commissioners were shocked yes- terday upon being informed of the sudden death of Postmaster Joseph H. Mont gomery. He was petitioner before that body the day preceding his death and it was he that suggested that certain bids rear Phelan park on a proposed cinder fill were unreasonable. He suggested further that the commission look into the proposition of doing the work.
 Judge Montgomery had been before the commissioners two or three times seek ing to have work done In Phelan park, which Is near his home. At the meeting Immediately preceding his death Judge Montgomery appeared to be in perfect physical condition and carried on con- versaton with some friends there about the work he desired so much to see per formed. The commissioners and the late postmaster had an engagement today to go further into the proposition.
 To hear protests upon some property assessments, the commission met yester- day However, at the morning hour an adjournment was taken until the after noon because of some misunderstanding | in the time for meeting.
 At the afternoon session the commission heard complaints of some citizens relative te the assessments which have been made. No action was taken | Commissioner Lane Is preparing an or
 dinance relative to weed cutting which will perhaps be the most striking depar- ture from the old rule that has yet taken place. The proposed ordinance will give the commissioners, through the health department, authority to cut all weeds upon vacant property with paid forces and charge the cost to the property, as all assessments are made. This scheme has suggested itself to the health depart ment because many property owners re- side away from Birmingham and cannot be reached by criminal process.
 The ordinance is now being drawn by Commissioner Lane and if it is poossible the matter will be made the law
