Romulus Moore. of Birch street, this fcity, was killed, and Wilfred Ricard svvas fatally injured when they were istruck by the milk train for Boston, ldondzy morning at 6.s2, at the Main street crossing. The men were en- lployed by the Shore Line trolley com lpany and were going to catch the 6.25 lear.
 The two men were walking down Main street together. headed for the Norwich electric car. They were talking and evidently were much in kferested for they did not notice the Approaching train. As they were on the firemen's side of the engine, ana bthe latter was ehoveling, no one in ttke cab saw them, and the two men were run over. Moore, who was kill Ted, was pushed along on the tracks rfor about half mile. as his horribly fmangled body was found on the Nat chaug River bridge. One leg was missing, and the other was attached Ito the torso only by a shred of flesh Parts of his body were scattered along fthe half mile of track. Ricard was thrown to the right of the approach ,3ng engine. His left arm was TUT lover and cut from his body The left side of his body was crushed and bruised.
 There were few witnesses of the af- fair. One man, a watchman at thC Thread mill. stood at the Union street icrossing. He approached the gate tender after the accident and asked why the train did not stop, as it haC run over two men. This was the first news of the accident. They went tC the crossing and found the injured man but could not find tho man whC had been killed. Later notice was re- tceived that mans body was lyins lon the Natchaug river bridge, and I llccal undertaken secured the body. One Of Moore's legs was missing, and wheT the train crew were notified of the ac- cident when they reached Pomfre they found the leg on the cowcatcher with the dead mans hat.

Many important matters will be taken up by the Real Estate Exchange at its meeting today at l o'clock at the Southern club. among them being the matter of putting residence property in Birmingham on . better income basis. Another matter. continued from a previous meeting. is the Bessemer court house proposition. the cause of this dis- cussion being the fact mat the members seem unable to figure out the need of two sets of county officials. An organization representing 3Oo negroes in the western end of the city have ap- pealed to the exchange for assistance lin securing vacant lots to be used as gardens, and as this cultivation of all vacant property in this city has been urged all members who have any avail able property for this purpose will notify the secretary.

much as the Birmingham market is located within a radius of seven or eight miles, we feel quite optimistic over the full supply of natural gas, es- pecially as to the development of the deeper sands. The management is now receiving quotations for cost of pipe line to the city and a concerted effort Is being made in every direction to fur nish Birmingham with natural gas be- fore any fuel famine might octur in the fall of the year
 "The discovery of an adequate supply of natural gas is one of the greatest blessings Birmingham could have, and with any success in securing the de- livery of materials, the city can look forward to reaping the benefits of this blessing before this year passes
 A representative of H. l.. Vaudeville 120 Broadway, New York city, who is handling the finances of the Dixie Gas securities. has been in Birmingham for the past few days, and reports that in quiry and applications for the stock of the company have been received from 12 different states. but more par ticularly from the states where natural gas has proven a commercial success and industrial factor. He stated yes- terday that he doubted if any one event in Birmingham's history since red iron ore had been put on an industrial basis, had given such wide publicity as bring ing in of the three gas wells by the Dixie Gas company.

W. F.

At recent meeting of the board of dirctors the drilling of one deep well and two wells to the shallow sand were authorized, and the drilling equipment is now on its way to our property.
 "One of the most interesting features in connection with the new programme of development includes the drilling of one deep we'll winch will encounter the three or four productive deep sands which diamond drill test recently completed has proven.

 "A squad of 30 men would be too many. squad of about 10 men to work with the policemen would be ideal. They could help catch the selling of whisky to soldiers. and. greatest of all, they could check the stay of soldiers without furloughs in the city.
 We are perfectly capable of handling the soldiers, and our only trouble with them resulted from being too easy. We like to treat uniform man with as much respect as possible, but in most cases they have refused to allow us to do 1t. Military authorities advise us to try that out.

"Business conditions and the opti- mistic spirit prevailing in the east cer- tainly dispels all causes for apprehen- sion on account of the war" said Ferd Caheen yesterday, after returning with his son. Julian. from a 10 days trip to New York and other points. where they went to purchase the spring stock for Caheen Brothers.
 Tho people ti.ere are as loyal and patriotic in the observance of all war measures as we are down here. No kicks could be heard against the Mon day closing order, but, on the con trary, those whose business demand their visiting offices and places above the ground floor of buildings on Mon days are forced to walk up as the ele- vators are stopped. I speak from ex- pericnce; we had to walk up 17 flights of steps in one building"
 MT. Caheen is confident business will continue unusually good, and this con fidence is inspired by what he saw in the east and conditions at home.
