E. R. Mathews, who has been act ing city clerk since the day follow ing the death of Clerk Charles L. Townes in November. has been elected unanimously by votes of the city council. He was appointed by Mayor Adams after MT. Townes died and there is little doubt that the mayor will approve his bond. Curtis Carter, whose election as clerk was not acceptable to the mayor re- signed the appointment
 William Hampton and J. A. Hack worth, whom the oune4 elected chief of police and night chief, respect lively. have been informed by Mayor Adams that there are no vacancies. This stopped them as it would be necessary for the mayor to approve their bond before they could qualify. The police force remains as it was at the beginning of the week.

CHURCH THREATENED IN BLAZE AT M0NTEVALL0

MONTEvALLO. Ala, Jan. H. Special. 1.-The two story frame res idence of Mrs. J. H. Davies was total ly destroyed by fire. It is generally believed that it caught by a spark which fell upon the shingle roof.
 The house was valued at $4,500. Insurance carried was $3,20o. It was occupied by the Wilson brothers, D. P Walker and Maxcanter.
 The Presbyterian church, just across the street, caught several times on the roof. It is estimated that the damage to the church was about S400 with no insurance The adjoining residence, occupied by MT. Foust and family, caught several times. but the damage Is probably not more than $50.
 Montevallo has no fire department, but the citizens worked heroically with a bucket brigade. Large mum bers of the college girls with the cit zens from the town formed a reg ular bucket procession and brought water very rapidly to save other buildings.

Frank SegleSki Arrested in Connection With Staying

JASPER BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD ! Incnar Ala Ian IL


 Sheriff Cutlery has received word from Fanargelo Tex, of the cap ture at that place of person sup posed 10 be Frank Segleski, who Is charged with the murder of F. s. King and his wife in 1915 at their home in Jasper, after which he locked the doors and made his es- cape. The double murder was one of the most brutal crimes ever com mitted in Walker county. King was section foreman on the Northern Ala bama railroad and resided at Jasper.
 Segleski, who was Hungarian S'av, age 23. had worked for King a while but had been fired and rough ly treated. it is said. The men were apparently good friends after that and were seen together occasionally. King was also a young man. On the night of March 25, 1915, MT. and Mrs. King, Segleski. and a girl had at tended revival services at the Chris tan church together. On their way back home King stopped at a grocery store on West Nineteenth street and purchased some cigarettes and the groceryman not having change for $20 bill presented by King. Segleski paid for the cigarettes.
 The girls mother met her near the grocery store and Segleski, who was with the girl, went off with Mir. and Mrs. King. The next morning sec- tion men went to Kings home and found the doors locked and on the evening of March 26, Mrs. Clements, a boarding house keeper, told the policemen that Segleskl had appar- ently skipped out and beaten his board bill.

Citizens WouldAbolish Tolls On Florence Sheffield Bridge

and Sheffield. For several years the latter arrangement was made, but last year there was a mi sunderstand- ing among the officials, funds were not appropriated and the collection of tolls was reinstated.
 MT. Rogers pointed out that the public of the Fri Cities is incon- venienced and free intercourse of commerce and society is prevented by the collection of tolls. A large part of the railroad traffic into Florence comes by way of Sheffield and un- less travellers use the trolley line they are put to expense in crossing the river. Many wholesale and retail stores located in Sheffield and Flor ence cater to trade on each side of the river and the tolls work almost prohibitive hardship on such firms, 1t was pointed out.
