at Milton the other night but as.the later reports continue to come Jn in the matter of details, it seems that a providential act Interfered and saved the life of half a hundred sleeping negroes. A heavy train crashed into the. end of cars In which half half a hundred negroes slept, and the only reason why human life was not taken was that 'the train had just passed over a drawbridge and was traveling slowly when the cars were struck. The young man killed was named Alexander, and his body was shipped to Michigan. He was sent down the track with a red lantern to I nag the freight, wnicrt was due.

A storm was prevailing at that time and he fell asleep. red light was between his knees, and consequently out of the range of vision of the freight train's engineer. Alexander sat on the track and he was discovered too late for reversing of the engine. His body was badly mangled. The engine was damaged.

The appointment of John X. Thomas as postmaster at Pratt City, a suburb of Birmingham, demonstrates the fact that Messrs. J. O. Thompson and C.

H. Scott are still referees of the president In this state. Mr. Thomas' appointment was announced today. Th recommendation from the refrees was sent in about two weeks ago.

However, Mr. Thomas was also endorsed by leading members of the "Lily White" Republicans of Alabama, among them Col. F. Aldrich, who up to a few months ago was one of the refrees of the president also in this state. Thomas cam to Alabama a number of BIG SLUMP IN COTTON DROP OF $10 A BAI.B HAS CAUSED VNBASINES8.

Moatcomerr Dealer Believe Cendl- tiona are Dae Oplaloa That Cro Will Reach Over 000,000 Bales. Blue faces and dark brown tastes again characterized the condition of Montgomery dealears. A sudden drop of nearly 110 a bale in arfew-Iays Is i lncldenUnoUcalcus lated to make interested ones pleasant. The sensation cannot be grasped by one who has not been struck by the bolt. A sudden downward snoot of an elevator is the nearest approach to the experience.

Yesterday cotton was quoted at 7 1-8 cents and conservative cotton men are afraid there wlll not be-any reaction within the near future. "What 'do I think caused this slump?" asked a local cotton man. "Why my opinion is that the country has at last awakened the fact that this' crop will-be fully 12,000,000. The country could stand the high prices that have prevailed for some time past as long as the belief was current that the crop would be short. 11,000,000 or even 11,500,000 crop would have steadied the price.

It is the unalterable law of supply and demand. There Is not much doubt that this crop will be 12,000.000 bales, and naturally the price has gone where it is. No, I don't think that the slump Is caused by the manipulations of Wall Street and cotton brokers. I think the shrinkage is natural and my belief Is that it will stay low." Continuing he said that the country around Montgomery and all over this section of Alabama is In a healthier financial condition than has been the case for twenty years. The advances, he said, are 'ar less than they have been In year, while In some cases planters have paid out of debt entirely and are absolutely Independent.

There Is still a good deal of cotton left In the fields, but he said that of course there Is no way of telling the amount accurately. "While this sudden low price has made conldtlons gloomy I don't think it has hurt this part of the country. The planters as a rule are in a splendid financial condition," he added. "Most of them have sold lots of cotton at unusually good prices, and there Is more money in the country now man In many years And the prosperity of the planter makes the prosperity of the Montgomery business men. It should be borne ill mind that every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality and prepare the system for the more serious diseases, among which are the two greatest destroyers of human life, pneumonia and consumption.

The present treaties covering the Dardanelles, it is pointed out, do not for their The only regular way to obtain their modification or abrogation would be by a. congress of the pow rs signatory to the treaties, similar to that of London in 1871 wbjfeki legalized th maintenance by Russia of a fleet In the Black Sea.

The other alternative isforlussla to simply announce her refusal to any longer bound by the treaties, in which event th powers would be compelled to adopt measures which might seem proper. Although egress from the Black Sea might prejudice the position of the Mediterranean powers, it Is not believed that any of them except Great Britain would act with the view to continuing what has always con tended to be an unnatural stuatlon. Great Britain, however, probably would base her action on the theory that the Japanese alliance compelled her to prevent the abrogation of treaties which insure advantage to th enemy of her ally, In this connection a despatch to the Kove Vremya from London revives the story of the existence of secret claus- es in th Japanese-British Alliance, one of which the correspondent claims. binds Great Britain to keep the; Black Sea fleet locked up, in return for which to Join Admiral Rojestvensky's squad- ron, some of the papers urge ths lm-. mediate preparation and despatch of another division of the second Pacific squadron.

That Great Britain does not consid- er present agitation serious Is shown by the fact that Ambassador Harding has not even made unofficial inquiries on the subject.

Th progress of this actor, Mr. Oil more, has been remarkable. Theatre' goers of Montgomery even yet wear In their memories the humble rank of Oil-more as he trudged across the boards In some obscure role. This was but four snd five years ago. The era of the critic, afilw to choose any artist for word architecture of.

a laudatory nature until he is two-thirds made, saw little stellar future for this single man. So last afternoon and evening admirers ot Mr, GJlmore, thick almost beyond count, added to their admiration and appreciation by contemplating the few years which have preceded his zenith.

The varied demands of Mr. Hender son made upon Mr. Gllmore and his excellent supporting company have been well measured by nearly all of the latfer. A comparison of the work of Jules Murry's choice, Mr.

Gllmore, with that of JohnJrewho flrstundertook the role of Iord Lornby two years ago would not be available On the plan of grades. Comparisons of the two to distinguish them In all their qualities and interpretations of the part are cer tainly welcome In view of the antithe sis they would afford. Mr. Gllmore Is peculiarly Mr. Gllmore as the "Mummy" and Mr.

Drew is Mr. Drew as the same character. The sodlacrof the author's Intellect in the creation of such a drama as "The Mummy and the Humming Bird" was so unlimited as to admit of these two actors running in distant parallels.

Those of the -crowd, more cool-headed and courageous than the rest, dragged the helpless woman Into the street and literally tore her clothes from her body In their efforts to extinguish the fir which spread over her prostrate form and curled, sizzling Into her hair. The woman, wild with frenzy had stood by her child to the last, how ever, and, through the whole wild scene, she clasped her babe tightly to her breast.
