STEAMER ANTILLIAN
COMINGFORT TIMBER

For the purpose of loading a deck
load of timber, the British steamer
Antillian, en- route from Galveston to
Great Britain, was looked for yester-
day afternoon. Upon her arrival
timber shippers will place a large
deckload of fine timber aboard, this
requiring but a days work, however.
Some timber workers were hoping
that the steamer would have reached
port early enough yesterday to have
completed the deckload, so they could
have a chance to be in the city and
mingle with the voters during the
day. AS the sun does not set today
until 6:14 o'clock, and as work in the
bay stops about an hour and twenty
minutes earlier, those who will go
aboard the Antillian for the days
work today will have plenty of time
to reach their respective voting booths
before the polls close.

Gadsden streets yesterday afternoon
shortly after o'clock, the trouble
started. Witnesses stated that the
negro turned the corner on the wrong
side of the street and ran almost into
young Leyland, who was coming in
an opposite direction. The white boy,
to avoid striking the bicycle of the
negro, ran into a telegraph pole and
sustained bruise on the side of his
head. He was otherwise injured when
he went to the ground. The negro,
dismounting, began to argue the re-
spective responsibility for the acct
dent, which had its termination in an
attack. The trouble ended for the
time being, but was renewed block
south when Brown, awaiting the ar
rival of Leyland is said to have
tripped the latter's wheel and, after
the white boy went to the pavement
with some force the negro advanced
with a baseball bat, urged BY three
other negroes who had reached the
scene. The negro struck Leyland sew
eral times, breaking the bat on the
other boys shoulder. A Mr.. Ander-
son, arriving about this time, sepa-
rated the combatants, and both went
in opposite directions, Leyland, how
ever, riding to physicians Office and
seeking treatment. Four or five
stitches were taken in Leyland's head,

MOORE IS HOME
FROM CONVENTION

Manager Moore Of the Western
Union, returned from Jacksonville
yesterday, where he was called to
attend meeting Of the Florida and
South Georgia managers, which was
held at the Windsor hotel in that city
on Thursday and Friday. Commercial
agents from all over the south also
attended the meeting, which was pre-
sided over by General Manager Wor-
then of the southern division.
Mr.. Kaufman of New York, rep
resenting Commercial Manager Well
liver of the Western Union, gave prac-
teal demonstrations in the selling of
telegraph service. The most impor-
tant points covered were the use of
the telegraph instead of the mails in
matters Of negotiations, offers and
orders, thereby speeding up all troans-
actions Of the average business house.
And the use of the telegraph in the
selling of goods, as q help to the ef-
forts of statesmen, in moving prod
ucts, either staples at regular prices
or surplus stocks of goods at reduced
prices.

FATHER ALLARD
ON MORTAL SIM

Large crowds are focI1ing to all
the mission services at st. Michael's
nowadays. Last night a congregation
that literally packed the church heard
Father Allard preach on mortal Sin"
This was the most powerful and con-
vincing appeal that has been made
by the eloquent Paulist.
His introduction was an arraign-
ment Of modern society, with its open
and secret sins, saying in part:
Against this spirit of evil and sin
the voice of God and the voice of
the church constantly cry out to warn
us that no matter what the world may
say it is an evil and bitter thing to
leave the service of God. The Al
mighty has laid down a law for us
which we call the Ten Command
ments; obedience to these command
ments will be rewarded with eternal
happiness; disobedience to them viii
be punished with eternal loss.
Even in this life sin is not with
out evil consequences. Come with
me and visit our hospitals, asylums,
jails and warehouses. Contemplate
the sorrow and suffering and misery
and degradation even in our big city.
Reflect and you will realize that much
of this is the result of sin. Then you
begin to appreciate that even in this
life-the wages of sin is DEATH"
The sermon tonight ~Vill be on
DEATH" and the services will begin
at 1880. All are invited to attend.
