THIRD EDITION.
AN ATTRACTIVE WINDOW
Wherein Is Displayed Jewelry of Every De
scription, Including the Loveliest of
Wedding Presents.
A1
People passing along First avenue will
not fail to notice the lovely show win
dows of Robert Sturges, the jeweler. He
has recently removed to 1924 First ave
nue, where he carries a complete line of
jewelry, including the most exquisite
wedding presents.
Mr. Sturges has been engaged in the
jewelry business for a number of years
and thoroughly understands it. He is al
so familiar with the requirements of his
customers and provides for the same.
He has built up a splendid trade in Bir
mingham since locating here by his
straightforward method of doing busi
ness, and with more room and better
facilities he may justly expect better
business.

Impossible to get her head to the wind.

CORBETT IS AT HOT SPRINGS
Fitz Seems to Be Worrying More About the
Almighty Dollar Than About the
Coming Battle.
Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 16.—When Gov
ernor Clark's warlike talk reached here
this morning It served to Intensify the
existing excitement. Preparations are In
progress to have the Corbett-Fitzslm
mons matter brought into the courts at
the earliest possible moment. Corbett ar
rived at Hot Springs tonight with ills
party instead of tomorrow morning, as
announced. He did not come into the city,
but got off the train at the Spring I.ake
station and went directly to his training
quarters, about half a mile distant. Cor
bett will go into training tomorrow in
his new quarters. There will be a meet
ing of the Florida Athletic club at the
Arlington hotel this evening with local
committees and attorneys employed. At
that meeting will be decided what steps
shall be taken.
Mayor Waters is in receipt of the fol
lowing telegram:
"Corpus Christl, Tex.. Oct. 16.—To W.
W. Waters: Before I leave here with
Fitzsimmons you must deposit with some
responsible party enough money in cash
to defray expenses for any and ail legal
dllllculties that may arise. We have been
warned by the governor, und don't pro
pose to take any chances.
"MARTIN JULIAN."
People here are commenting on the
peculiar behavior of Fitzsimmons. He
wired here and demanded bids for the
privilege of people giving him free quar
ters and paying him a bonus besides.
He received no proposition, and after be
ing guaranteed protection against arrest
or interference of any kind, by the mayor
and the prominent citizens, he now wants
the money deposited in the bank to se
cure him against all losses, etc. People
here think that Fitzsimmons is losing
confidence in himself, and as the contest
approaches he seems to have less desire
to help it along.
CUP COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Defender Is Regarded as Being Quite
East Enough.
New York, Oet. 15.—The America’s cup
committee remained in session at the
New York Yacht club house until after
midnight last night. They drew up a let
ter to Mr. Charles Day Rose of the Royal
Victoria Yacht club, formally notifying
him of their acceptance, giving him the
names of the committee and stating that
full power has been given them by the
club to confer with him and make ar
rangements and conditions for the meet
ing. The committee confirms the cable
grams sent by Secretary Oddte of the
New York club to Mr. Rose and Secretary
Thellussen of the Royal Victoria club
lost night.
The letter was mailed today. When a
reply is received from Mr. Rose the com
mittee will hold another meeting and
some of the details of the races and the
probable dates will be settled.
The reappointment of the committee
which had charge of the Defender-Val
kyrie race is considered strong endorse
ment of their course throughout the re
cent races. Had other men been named
on the committee appointed last night it
would have given the British critics an
opportunity to say that the club failed
to endorse the old committee and that
Lord Dunraven was right in withdrawing
from the race. There is as yet little talk
of building a new boat to meet Mr. Rose’s
distant shore. Yachtsmen here say the
Defender Is a better boat than the En
glishmen can build In three years and the
cup is safe If left to her. The report
of the three boats to lie built on the other
side and the best one to Ire sent here
does not disconcert the yachtsmen at all.
In spite pf this talk it would not be at all
surprising if Mr. W'. K. Vanderbilt. Mr.
George J. Gould or some other wealthy
member of the New York Yacht club
should come forward and build a boat
on his own account.
Consulting His Army.
Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 15.—Brig.-Gen.
O. P. Taylor of the Arkansas State guard
wals in consultation this morning with
Governor Clark and several other gen
tlemen relative to the proposed prize
fight In Hot Springs. The Judgment of
the conference was. in effect, that the
fight would not be allowed to take place
in Arkansas, with or without gloves. If
the laws of 1891 or 1893 are Inoperative
the old law of 1888 gives the governor
almost unlimited power, and the entire
state guard may be called out to sup
press any assemblage which has the
semblance of a riot. There will be no tem
porizing, and the parties are warned In
time of the penalty for bringing off the
fight In defiance of the law. General
Taylor departed for Hot Springs this
evening to talk with the promoters of the
affair and warn them. He will return to
morrow, and the following day the proc
lamation will be Issued forbidding the
proposed meeting. This. General Tay
lor Is confident, will settle the matter
finally.
Can Fight in Mexico.
El Paso, Tex., Oct. 15.—A concession
has been granted by the governor of Chi

mons fight to take place In Juarez, Just
across the river from this place. Both
El Paso and Juarez are enthusiastic over
securing the fight.

nothing from the club and In the mean

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS
Open Their Campaign With a Rousing Mass
Meeting in Baltimore.
Baltimore. Oct. IB.—The republicans
opened their campaign In this city to
night with a record-breaking mass meet
ing at Music hall. The attractions were
Ex-Congressman John V. L. Findley,
who represented the Fourth Maryland
district as a democrat, and Theodore
Roosevelt, the New York police commis
sioner. They made brilliant speeches and
were enthusiastically cheered. All the
leading republican candidates were also
on the stage and made stirring speeches.
A number of prominent citizens here
tofore considered war horses of democ
racy were conspicuous In choice seats
and manifested deep interest In the pro
ceedings. They gave Mr. Roosevelt and
his views of fair elections a warm recep
tion. The meeting was cleverly adver
tised as a protest and as an appeal; a
protest against political corruption and
fraudulent elections and an appeal to all
good citizens to encourage a better meth
od In state and municipal government.
There was a great turn out of reformers,
many of them being of the gentler sex.
In point of numbers and enthusiasm the
assembly was far in advance of any sim
ilar one held in recent years. The Music
hall, with a seating rapacity of almost
4000, was filled and the aisles packed half
an hour before the meeting: was called
to order.
Overflow meetings were addressed by
leather-lunged orators. Gen. Felix Ag
nus presided over the main body. Hon.
Lloyd Lowndes, republican candidate for
governor; Harry Clabaugh, Robert P.
Graysm and Aldus Hooper, candidates,
respectively, for attorney-general, comp
troller and mayor, kept the immense
crowd in good humor wth short addresses
while it waited for the star performers.
Mr. Roosevelt’s address was largely
given up'to fair elections and civil ser
vice practices. He discovered the condi
tion that obtained when he entered the
New York police departments and the
Improvements that had been Introduced
and showed how practical politics, a po
litical pull and bribery were being super
seded by the worth and merit kind, and
requested the breaking of the power of
the Baltimore ring. He paid his respects
to Senator Gorman by saying that he
had only detected him in an outragous
falsehood, and broadly intimated that
Maryland’s senior senator could not be
trusted in any position.
Ex-Congressman Findlay, too, was
very severe In his strictures on the "Gor
man raised combination.” He pledged
thousands of democrats to support the
republican state ticket this fall.
INSURANCE AGENTS AT WAR.
The Chattanooga Agents Are Making it Warm
for the Underwriters.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 15.—The
troubles that have existed for some time
between the local Insurance men and the
Kentucky and Tennessee board of un
derwriters having jurisdiction in this
territory are approaching a dreaded cli
max. The latest act of hostility shown
by the Chattanooga agents Is the secur
ing of Indictments before the last grand
juty of this county against the members
of the executive committee of the Ken
tucky and Tennessee board, charging
them with a violation of a recent Tennes
see statute against trusts in combining to
fix insurance rates. So when the com
mitteemen gathered this morning in the
Head house they were surprised to have
capiases served upon them by a deputy
sheriff. All gave bonds without diffi
culty. Those arrested were J. A. Thom
as, president; and Charles Mathews of
Nashville, W. H. Wheeler, J. C. Johnson,
Frank Snyde and K. H. Currie. The last
named the probable manager to be put in
by the state board to enforce the new
company, which the local agents will
be required to prove), all of Louisville,
and C. D. Thopson of Covington, W. D.
Dean of Atlanta and C. T. Baird were ar
rested at a previous meeting. E. V. Boyd
of Atlanta, assisitant manager of the
Louisville Fire Insurance company, is
also present.
The differences, which are of long
standing, began with the opposition of
the local board with agents sharing their
profits with Insured parties to secure
business. The discharge of the board
secretary for refusal to approve of their
actions toward the recalcitrant being a
natural sequence.
The charge Is now made, but denied
by President Thomas of the executive
committee, that the Kentucky-Tennessee
hoard was to force an obnoxious com
pact on the local agents. President
Thomas says their purpose Is merely to
reorganize the former board and restore
harmony without affecting present rates.
The Insurance business is at a stand
still and no efforts are being made to
write business.
The charges of a conspiracy by means
of a trust Is made by three local agents,
who refuse to confer with the executive
committee and arc liable to be frozen
out, owing to non-support of fellow
agents In the board. The recalcitrants
say they will stake their last dollar on
the result of their suit pending.
Bailroads Cannot Agree.
New York, Oct. 15.—The new agree
ment fixing the freight rates on the
southern railroads was effected at the
meeting today of the representatives of
all the railroads of the south and con
necting branches. The meeting was held
at the Hotel Waldorf, with incloeed
doors, and the debate on the new agree
ment was continued until late in the af
ternoon. Messrs. Scott of the Georgia
road, Clyde of the Clyde Steamship line
and Carsons of the South Carolina, Flori
da and Georgia road refused to Bign the
agreement. In the interests of harmony
a committee was appointed to meet the
three objectors, but after a session last
ing two hours, the committee had to ad
journ, having accomplished little or noth
ing. The committee was composed of
Samuel Spencer, Henry Fink, E. St. John,
R. G. Irving and G. M. Emerson. The
committee reported to the convention
that It would hold another session to
morrow morning, and the convention ad
journed.
More Americans Killed.
London. Oct. 15.—The Daily News to
morrow will print a dispatch from Con
stantinople saying that the agitation
there has been renewed owing to the
neglect of the Turkish officials to fulfill
their promise of security given to the Ar
menian refugees when they left their
churches. Another attack was made on
Kaissan Pasha and other Armenians on
the 12th, when four were killed and a
number wounded. It is alleged that the
police refused to interfere.
Details have been received of an organ
ized attack on Armenians by a Moslem
mob at Akkisshar on the 9th. Forty-six
Armenians were killed and a large num
ber wounded.
Foraker Challenges Brice.
Eaton, O., Oct. 15.—Ex-Governor Fora
ker openly challenged Senator Brice or
any of his followers this afternoon to e.
Joint debatee, to be held at any place and
at any time. The reason for this is an
edttoril im a morning paper entitled
“Where Is Brice?”
Foraker answered that he knew he did
not have the head like Brice, but he
did have his "political convictions,” and
that if there was a representative of the
party in the audience he wanted him to
state to that paper that he was ready
at any time for a joint debate, where ho
would answer all of Brice's questions,
and he would have some to ask Brice.
Turf Congress to Convene.
Cincinnati, O., Oct. 15.—The Turf con
gress will begin a two days' session in
this city tomorrow. A number of im
portant matters will come up before the
congress, the outlaw question being the
most important. The question as to
whether reinstatement in the east means
reinstatement In the west will have to
be settled, as most of the former eastern
outlaws want to race at New Orleans
and San Francisco this winter. The
Queen City Jockey club, who have built
the track at Newport, Ky., will apply for
membership.
Smugglers Were Plentiful.
St. Johns. N. F.. Oct. 15.—The smug
gling disclosures which are going on now
involve nearly every liquor dealer in the
city. It is estimated that the loss of rev
enue last year through the operation of
the syndicate was $80,000. Prominent of
ficials. it Is alleged, have been In active
collusion with the smugglers. The whole
customs department of the colony Is de
moralized. The board of revenue will
prosecute every person involved and the
magistrates threaten to cancel the li»
censes of every liquor dealer whose con
nection with the scandal is proved.

turning out en masse to greet the im

the train. The houses were gaily decor
ated with flags and other emblems. The
