The date is July 26
 Several meetings of the order will be held this week at the den of the organ ization. N2s1s Third avenue, which has just been fitted up in a most attrac- tive and elaborate manner for the rem dezvous of the fraternity. In addition to it's much-heralded celebration the order has many other matters of still greater moment 10 engage their consideration.
 During the coming week applications will be received for branch dens in Geor- gia, Tennessee, Mississippi. Louisiana, Florida and other cities. Such applica- tions have been flooding the supreme of ficers of the order since the institution of the supreme den in this city several weeks ago. The plans of the order have met with the heartiest commendation from all parts of the south and the pres ent indications are that 1t will soon be- come one of the largest and most sub stantial secret and beneficient orders any where.
 The Order of Liohs is the first organ ization of It's kind which has been ef- fected under the laws of the state of Ala bama, and it's success has been more than gratifying not only to those who compose it's membership, but also to their friends and associates. An attempt is being made to include all the old mem bers of the disbanded Order of Owls in the new order, and as an inducement such parties are made certain concessions with respect to the dues that they formerly paid into the Owl organization.

New York, July 16.-(Speeial)-The good ship Amerika sailed away today under the full spell of the honeymoon. There were enough honeymoons in full view to supply half dozen planets with nebular attractions. Rice, old shoes and ribbons were left in the trail of the ship as she slowly went down to the sea with her supercargo of happiness and hopes.
 Even F. H. Sothern, who sailed with Julia Marlowe, caught the fever and when asked for the 9345th time if he in- tended marrying Miss Marlowe, replied with feeling and gallantry:
 Tt is not true, but I wish that I could verify the report"
 Miss Marlowe wondered why the public was so interested in such matters, and added her denial to the report that the trip abroad meant closer union of the stage favorites. They are going abroad for vacation that will last until De- tober when they begin again at the Manhattan theater in Macbeth.
 But coming back to loves young dream, the brides and bridesgrooms and the rice and old shoes: Captain I. Edward Emerson of Philadelphia who earned his millions devising the wherewithal to

BANK GAME IS
 FINALLY BLOCKED

Jackson. Miss, July f6.-(Speciai.) )- The Mississippi Bank and Trust com pany has enjoined State Accountant c. ]. Moore from issuing process to se- cure the presence of the bankers and | their books containing the accounts of ex- Governor Vardaman. The acountant was taken very much by surprise by this coup d'etat, it having been his fn- tention to issue attachments for the bankers and their books yesterday. Before he could have the papers made out and served by constable the sheriff served the injunction on him, restraining him from further interference with the af- fairs of the late governor till next Jan uary when the papers are returnable before Chancellor Lyell
 It is possible that the accountant will move to dissolve the injunction.
 but in the event he should, it is hard
 lv possible itc ould be gotten before
 the courts in Time for a decision before
 the August primaries, hence the public
 will never know for certain just what
 Governor Vardaman did with the con-
 tingent and other funds entrusted to
 his care. MT. Moore states that he
 can go no further in his examina-
 tion of the governors office unless he
 gets hold of the bank books

STREET ID CLOSE: DEAL TOMORROW

For the purpose of closing up the papers
 on the site selected for the new postof- flee, the corner of Fifth avenue and Nine
 teenth street, United States District At torney Oliver D. Street will probably be In Birmingham tomorrow. The papers on the postoffice site have
 been in possession of government attor- neys for some time. However it is said
 condemnation proceedings may be resort
 ed to in order to secure the release of
 the claims of some tenants on the prop
 erty.
 Tt was said yesterday by the agents
 who negotiated the sale that certain hold CTS of a lease had refused to surrender
 it to the government and a suit would likely result in order that the govern
 ment may get the property Tn regular
 shape.
 After the papers are arranged to the satisfaction of the department of justice
 they will be forwarded to Washington for final approval.
 It is said that the appropriation for the postoffice will be made at the begin ming of the next session of congress. Special Agent Latta of the government,
 who selected the site, said while here that if Birmingham carried the question Of
 an appropriation to the government of ficials in Washington, perhaps s75O000 or
 $1, ,0O0,o00 could be secured for a postal building. The site selected is held sufficiently valuable for such large sum
 and such building as would be con- structed
 It is possible that efforts will ne made to have Congressman o. W. Underwood
 use his best efforts to secure the maxi
 mum appropriation for the local building.

BOYD HAS PLANS
 FOR CITY SALES

Through a suggestion of Captain Romaine Boyd, city attorney, to the commission. it is expected that the an- moving features of the tax assessment sales will hereafter be removed.
 He suggested that after delinquent tax payments are certified to the chancery court a request be made that the sales be held up until it can be ascer- tained by rechecking whether the prop erty tax has been paid or not.
 The commission has been annoyed by refunding taxes on property where sales have been made after the owners paid the taxes, all it is said, through the of- ficias negeeting to go over the list care fully to prevent error.
 The commissioners daily refund some tax where the owner is wholly removed from fault and 1t is said the suggestion of Captain Boyd will relieve the situa- ton.

CITY OFFICIALS
 WILL BE ELECTED Heads of Departments to Be Chosen in Ten Days THE JAIL SITE DEAL The Proposition Will Be Closed This Morning-No Kicks Have Been
 Received as to Location.
 The Bond Sale

It is expected that elections of all city officials will be held this week or within 10 days. The elections have been deferred by the commission for one reason and another until it was announced that they had been indefinitely postponed. It was said yesterday, however, by Associate Commissioner A. o. Lane that the time was about up for elections and they would be held within 10 days at least. Judge Lane of the department of justice and health department, has been ready for some four weeks to recommend his l officials, but President Exum and Con- missioner Weatherly requested the cleo 1 tions postponed until they could get up with some other pressing matters The chances are very much against any | changes with the possible exception of two departments, and while the antici- pated changes will be of importance in one of the departments, in the others no new faces will be seen in the higher po- sitions.
 It is anticipated that some slight I changes will be made in the police de- partment of a rather ordinary nature, tn- volving some patrolmen and perhaps de- tectives. No other changes, it is said,
 will occur there.
 l Commissioners Weatherly and Exum, in charge of several very important de- partments, have not as yet intmated any changes to take place where they exer- else supervision
 To Close Jail Site
 At 10 o'clock this morning the com missioners will meet with H. B. Wheel ock, architect, and I. c. Beatty of
 the Birmingham Realty company and close up the jail site near the Standard Oil company. Work will proceed with out delay upon the s4O,oOO prison.
 The jail will be placed in 17-acre tract
 whereon is running stream of water
 from Green Springs, and the city stables
 will be placed there also. A city granary
 will be included in the construction
 and everything will be modern
 Commissioner James Weatherly has
 been in charge of this proposition, and he will take the lead today in closing it
 up. The prison is to be completed in about four months. A most astonishing feature of the jail negotiations is the I fact that not one protest has been made against the location so far as known. To Advertise Bond Sale With the bare exception of the confer ence on the prison proposition no official meetings. will be held today by the com missioners They will be engaged until noon and after lunch Commissioners Lane and Weatherly have engagements which will take them to various points in Greater Birmingham. President Cupep- per Exum of the finance department is lining up some data on the bond sale, and will perhaps remain at his office the greater part of the day. The commis- sioners will prepare for the meeting to- | morrow. which is expected to be the | final meeting. on several important propo- | sitions Advertisements that Birming | ham has $1,3O0,O00 worth of bonds for sale will be authorized for insertion in New York and Chicago newspapers. They will be in the local papers also.

 that without an operation for a head trou- ble, he would die. He seemed to be re-
 covering, however. and only few days
 ago notified the members of the Shelnutt
 firm that he wanted to return to work. His death proved a complete surprise.

The burial took place at Four Mile cemetery Sunday afternoon. Both legs were severed from he body and the unfortunate man was almost cut in twain.
 The deceased was a well known car penter and was married twice, both wives being dead and leaving him with six children, by whom he is survived.
