Montgomery. Ma. July 11 Special. The thermometer took an upward bound today and the temperature of the constitutional convention followed suit.

Nearly the whole day was spent In reconsider- mt. amending and re-adopting a single subdivision of the article on local legislation. In addition to the forbidden subjects enumerated. a blanket clause was added covering everything else In regard to which a general law may be In existence. The dispensary people and the Mobile people either saw or thought they saw some danger to their Interests in this broad provision.

Mr. OnesI chairman of the committee. resisted the reconsideration In an Impassioned speech. He was bold and plain spoken and charged that this was a combination in effect between the dispensary and the city of Mobile to perpetuate the worst evils of local legislation In the Interest of special privilege. The committee he declared Is under a crossfire the dispensary on one side and Mobil on the other.

and between them were about to repeal a salutory provision in the old constitution and get one In the new under which coroporatlons can come and get all sorts of special privileges. His motives had been attacked and he could. with equal Justice charge that Mobile was masked behind moral reform to fight for his own special privileges. Mr. Smith.

of Mobile. repudiated the charge of any combination with thedIs- pensary. He had placed the ease of Mobile before the convention openly. He charged upon Mr. Oneal that his accusation and determination to carry this subdivision was a matter of personal pride.

Mr. Oneal he said. was even bidding for a combination of himself with the dispensary. Mr. Oneal was willing he asserted to let the dispensary have Its way.

If only the menace to Mobile were retained. Mr. Smith said he had no doubt th gentleman would tight Mobile later on. and do It with personal feeling. He would be here to meet him.

His speech was exceedingly caustic. especially when he referred to Mr. Oneal a possesslrtg a peculiar rift of prophecy. Mr. OneeA rose to a question of personal privilege.

He had expressly disclaimed any reflection on any smotlves The gentleman ft Mobile. Mr. Smith. had seen fit to attack him and undertook to bold him up to ridicule and dub him as a uroDhet. His statements had been unwarranted.

It he meant to Impungn his motives. be had stated what was not warranted by the facts. He was suprtsed that the gentleman had said what he had. This was not the place to bandy epithets. and he desired to say that nothing in his remarks had called for the caustic and unwarranted comments or the gentleman from Mobile.

Mr. Smith said Oneal had charged upon Mobile that It was masking behind moral reform in Its pursuit of special privileges for itself. Mr. Oneal disclaimed having said that. He did charge a combination be tween Mobile and the dispensary to defeat this clause.

and the sold vote showed that was tru and everybody saw It. The incident closed with a reiteration of the statement by Mr. Oneal that It the gentleman put his motives lower than those of any other delegate he had made an Improper charge unwarranted and out of place upon this floor. It was late In the afternoon before the clause was finally fixed up to svjt the dispensary people and passed with the Mobile delegation still unsatisfied. The committee on Impeachments.

O. R. Hood of Etowah chairman. made Us report. The only change of interest was one transferring the sheriff from the class of officers are impeached In the circuit courts to the class which go to the supreme court.

There Is also a change In the term habitual drunkenness as a ground for Impeachment to extend to such a use of liquor as does not comport with the dignity of an office. A minority report leaves both the above changes in tact as In the present constitution. A democratic caucus was today called for next Monday night to consider whether the suffrage ordinance shall be made a caucus measure. If it should be decided the effort will be made to put through a party measure and make ratification at the polls also a party measure. SABER AND HAND UNEARTHED.

With a view to carrying out this undertaking and for the further broadening or its already vast operation in the fertilizer business. the company has called a meeting or its stockholders to-authorize an Increase of capitalization from 24000000. as at present to 30000000.

It is not expected that all of this wilt be Issued immediately. but only as expanding business of the company may demand. At the same time to the far south Tex. as comes to the front with the organization of a 30200000 oil company. and in connection therewith and practically by the same interests.

short line extending from McNeil. Ark. to Relnvllle La. ninety miles and an ultimate direct connection with New Orleans. Other contemplated works are Improvements on the Southern Pacific system Involving the possible expenditure of 30000000 In relaying track re-grading roadbed eliminating curves and the substitution of metal bridges for wooden structures.

A letter to The Manufacturers' Record from President Charles M. Hays says that the matter is now before the board of directors of the Southern Pacific for consideration.
