SECOND EDITION. RAILWAY NEWS AND GOSSIP Travel on the several dummy and elec tric lines of the city was unusually large on Sunday, and the various pleasure re sorts were patronized by Immense crowds. The Bessemer and Birmingham dummy line had an extra large patronage, owing to the inauguration of summer excursion rates. Many Birmingham people went to Bessemer, and many Marvel City people came here and wTent to Kast Bake to en joy the summer concert of Prof. Henri Weber’s band. The electric cars on the East Lake line were taxed to their ca pacity, but cars came ai^ went with re markable accuracy. m Avondale, North Birmingham and La Review had large crowds, and the cool water and shady groves were enjoyed be yond measure. Mr. Barrett in Charge of the Fifth. The fifth division of the Southern, em bracing that part of the system between this city and Atlanta, is now under the supervision of Mr. .1. It. Barrett, former ly superintendent of the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus railroad. This divisioln was formerly a part of the domain of Su perintendent W. it. Beauprie, but the road between Atlanta and Brunswick be ing as much as he could properly look af ter, the above mentioned change was deemed necessary. Mr. Barrett is an ex perienced railroad man, and the division will be looked after In every detail under his able supervision. A Very Graceful Act. The Louisville and Nashville railroad has always been credited with having philanthropic officials, and the following from the Mobile Register verifies the re port: "The news of a very gracious act on tli" part of the Louisville and Nashville railroad was made public yesterday. On May 12 the Semmes Camp Confederate Vet-runs gave an excursion to New Or leans, and because of repeated postpone ments because of the prevalence of smallpox in New Orleans, the affair was a failure, and the camp stood to lose $230 by reason of Insufficient patronage. The camp, through its committee, asked Mr. H. G. Barclay if he could not scale down the amount somewhat, and Mr. Barclay took the matter up with his superiors, with the result that yesterday he re ceived instructions to donate to the camp the amount of their loss on account of the excursion. It was no doubt a very pleasing duty for the general agent to carry out these instructions.” Another Tie Between Cincinnati and New Orleans. As predicted in the State Herald some days ago the Illinois Central now has a ilne from Cincinnati to New Orleans. The Illinois Central has made the con nection with the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern, as stated, and a through line now runs from Cincinnati to Louis ville, thence to Memphis and New Or leans. This last connection gives Cin cinnati three outlets to New Orleans. Sunday Visitors. A large number of people visited Bir mingham Sunday from Gadsden, Attalla and way stations along the line of the Alabama Great Southern railroad. There was an excursion from Gadsden, which accounted for the unusual number of Visitors. It Didn’t Pan Out. The excursion to Atlanta Sunday did not pan out very well, as only a small crowd went on the train. Southern’s Rate to Richmond. The Southern Railway company has Issued a rate circular for the reunion of Confederate Veterans at Richmond June 30-July 2. Tickets from this point are $14.30 and will be on sale June 26 to 29 in clusive, with a return limit July 10.

DECIDE TO TRY IT OH Passage of River and Harbor Bill Recommended OVER THE PRESIDENT’S VETO Mr. Morgan Reports a Bill Amendatory of the Nicaragua Canal—The House De clares a Seat Vacant. Washington, June 1.—The house river and harbor committee today formally agreed to recommend to the house the passage of the. river and harbor bill over the president’s veto. Chairman Hooker was instructed to prepare a report, in which he will incorporate the reasons of the committee for taking this step. Tha Senate. The conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was discussed for a couple of hours in the senate today, but again went over without action. The question that has been so much debated in the senate for nearly a week past is the proposition in that report to Impose the duties and rights of citizenship on the. Indians of the five civilized tribes, it be ing claimed by the senators opposed to it that it Is a violation of the treaty with these Indians. The report itself is only a partial one, the conferees not having agreed upon the proposed temporary continuance of contract schools for In dian children. A Joint resolution appropriating $6000 for the completion of the historical frieze in the rotunda of the capitol provoked a discussion, in which Mr. Hawley, repub lican, of Connecticut, criticised the paint ing for what it represented and for what it failed to represent—President Cleve land being in the first-class and the sur render at Appomattox in the other. Fi nally objection was made to the con sideration of the resolution by Mr. Wil son, republican, of Washington, and it went over without action. The conference report on the fortifica tion bill was presented and agreed to. The private pension bill, which was ve toed by the president last week because of a wrong description of the soldier’s regiment, was reported today with that mistake corrected and was passed. • Another veto of a private pension bill was presented today. It was the case of tlie renewal of a pension to the widow of a soldier in the Mexican war after she had married a second time—thirty-five years ago—and forfeited her pension. The message and bill were referred to the committee on pensions. Two other pension vetoes were also pre sented, The Intended beneficiaries were wrongly located and described, and con sequently the object of the bills was de feated. The bill to prohibit the further issuance of Interest-bearing bonds without the consent of congress was taken up at 2 o’clock. An argument was made against it by Mr. Cullom, republican, of Illinois, who declared that the consequences of its passage would be'so far reaching as to be simply appalling; but that there was no danger of Its passing the house of repre sentatives. The bill was advocated by Mr. Brown, republican, of Utah, in con nection with a resolution offered by him self today declaring that “in the opinion of the senate the secretary of the treas ury has no authority under act of Janu ary 4, 1876, to issue any further or other bonds in addition to those already issued, and that any such bonds that may here after be Issued by him would be without authority of law and void.” The bill went over without action. Mr. Morgan, from the committee on foreign relations, reported a bill amenda tory of the Nicaragua canal act. stating, however, that he did not expect action upon It by the senate at the present ses sion. At 5:55 p. m. the senate adjourned until tomorrow at 11 a. m. The House. The house today disposed of the con tested election case of Johnston, republi can, vs. Stokes, democrat, from the Sev enth district of South Carolina, by adopt ing the view of Chairman McCall, repub lican, of Massachusetts, chairman of elections committee No. 3, which consid ered the case. By a vote of 130 to 125 it was decided that no legal election for representative had been held in the dis trict and the seat was declared vacant. The republicans divided on the proposi tion and it was supported by the unani mous democratic vote. The majority of the committee reported in favor of Stokes and the minority In favor of Johnston. This being suspension day, the rules were given suspension and a number of bills were passed, among them the house bill authorizing the appointment of a la bor commission of twenty members to investigate the relations of labor and capital and to report to congress desira ble legislation In relation thereto. A supplemental conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill, show ing an agreement upon ail items save the appropriations for certain public buildings, was made by Mr. Cannon, re publican, of Illinois, and agreed to. The house bill extending the jurisdic tion of the United States courts in the Indian territory, providing for the laying out of towns and the leasing of coal and other mineral, timber, farming and graz ing lands in the territory, was taken up, butt on a vote on its passage, disclosed the lack of a quorum, and at 5:40 o’clock, on motion by Mr. Sherman, republican, of New York, the house adjourned. ■ Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castona.

He Has Been Missing Since May 15 and His Wife Is Sorely Exercised—Mystery About It. J. H. Burdett of Elyton Is missing, and his wife Is very much exercised, fearing that there has been some foul play. She says that her husband was never away from her before for more than two days without writing. Burdett left Elyton on May 15 in com pany with Will Nathan and Clifton Fos ter for Blocton for the purpose of sell ing medicine. The medicine was put up by one Dr. LaFayette. On May 23 Dr. I.aFayette received Bur den's hand satchel, which was shipped to him from Blocton. He also received a letter from the party with whom the three boarded for a week in Blocton rela tive to thc.tr board bill, but the writer added In a postscript that Bidden paid his board. Dr. LaFayette met Mr. Na than, it is said, on his return and asked him where the “Governor,” as he called Burdett, would be In, and Nathan said he was looking for him every day. Mrs. Buadett says she and her husband have lived happily, together, and he had not the slightest cause tp desert her, an^ she Is satisfied that something is wrong, else he would have'restlfned. He is described as being about 5 feet 10 inches tall, dark complexion, blue eyes and black mustache. From the ajnount of medicine returned in his satchel, it is estimated that he must have sold about $50 or $60 worth. The State Herald has been unable to see Dr. LaFayctte, or either Nathan or Foster, who went to Blocton with Bur dett, but is informed that they ara at a loss to account for his absence. The neighbors are apprehensive that there has been some foul play, and quite a number were out yesterday making in quiries after him. FREE SILVER VICTORIOUS.

SOLO UNDER THE HAMMER The Alabama-Connellsville Prop erty Yesterday AND IT BROUGHT $20,000 Mr. Roman of Montgomery Bought It, He Says, for Himself—Nothing Will Be Done Until Confirmation, The Alabama-Connellsville Coal and Coke company's property, located on the Mineral railroad, in the lower part of the county, was sold yesterday at public outcry In front of the government building to satisfy a claim held by the Farmers’ Loan and Trust company. The property was bought by S. Roman of Montgomery for $20,000. The property was sold by Charles G. Abercrombie of Montgomery, master commissioner, under a decree of fore closure made by the United States court for the southern division of the Northern district of Alabama March 27, 1893. The property consists of something over 2500 acres of coal lands and appar tenances for mining, but the mines have not been worked In two or three years, There are also a number of houses for employes and fifty coke ovens on the property. The property Is estimated to be worth $75,000. Mr. Roman says he bought the proper ty for himself, but it is the general im pression that his bid was strictly In the interest of the company he represents. However, nothing will be done towards developing the property until the sale is confirmed.

Pere Hyacinthe, the famous Catholic priest, who afterwards became a preach er of doctrines at variance with those of his church, is soon to marry again. It has been several years since Pere Hya cinthe has been brought to the attention of the public, and during that time he has been laboring faithfully to promul gate the ideas he conceives to be right. It is needless to say he has not met with much encouragement, standing, as he does, midway between protestantism and Catholicism. He is nowr 69 years of age and a widower, his first wife having died several years ago. He is about to marry an American girl—Miss Lajira Bucknell— and as his first wife was also an Ameri can—a Mrs. Merriam, a handsome wddow —it is apparent that he is partial to out country women. Pere Hyacinthe was born in Orleans, Prance, and was always devoted to the Catholic church. He was admitted to the priesthood w-hen 22 years of age, and was conspicuous as a teacher In the schools of his church. He w-as a Dominlclan friar originally, but spent two years at Rome with the Trapplst monks. Afterwards he became a Car melite friar and at one time was perhaps the most notable preacher in Europe. He preached at Notre Dame, Paris, for years. He differed with the tenets of the Catholic church later in life and re fused to be governed by the canons, al though never entirely reiinguishlng his connection with it. The latest rtynantic chapter in his life brings him again be fore the public. - * * • • Yesterday, with all the gorgeous cere monies of the Catholic church at St. Francis Xaviers, New York, Miss Pru dencia Vidauri Milmo, sister of Mrs. EU gene Kelly, was married to Prince Ratzl will, a lieutenant in the czar's cavalry. The bride is a Mexican by birth, the daughter of an enormously rich banker, while the groom is a man of eMgtes and a nice young fellow as well. The brides maids were Mi$s Leonorg Milmo, si^^r of the bride, and Miss Beales, ft very flettr relative of Mr. Eugtdio Kelly. Two of the groomsmen tvere Mr. Thomas H. Kelly and Mr. T. Pearsall Thorne, both of whom have friends in Alabama. Dur ing the service an elaborate musical pro gramme was rendered, which Included a processional hymn written by Mr. Pear sall Thorne. Arqhbishop Corrigan, as sisted by the rector of St. Francis Xa vier, performed the ceremony, and a spe cial benediction was sent by the pope. Senor Milmo, lather of the bride, gave her away', and the best man was a brother of the groom, Prince Matias Ratzlwill. A large reception was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kelly after a wedding breakfast, at which was presented only the attendants and nearest relatives and friends of the bride and groom. Mr. Eugene Kelly is largely Interested in railroad and mining affairs in Alabama, and, having visited our state several times during recent years, has many acquaintances and friends in this section. • • • The following paragraph from an ex change will be refreshing reading to those men who lose no opportunity to deal a sledge hammer blow to the poor “woman question.” When America, be cause of its generous treatment of wo men, becomes unendurable to those men who object to the advancement of women save In the art of cooking, wash ing, sewing and nursing, it is a comfort to know that Germany will afford a con genial retreat to these “conservatives.” There, as is well known, women are al lowed their “ancient and Inalienable right to labor” In the field—pulling a plough—In the home, and on the streets carry the bundles, while their handsome military husbands and sweethearts wa(k like princes by their sides. As will be seen from this paragraph, the battle has begun in the realm of the kaiser, but thus far the men are triumphant: "German women who yearn for eman cipation are having a hard struggle. As a rule German men are manly and strong and sure of their superiority, but they are acting as though they were not anx ious to put it to the test. Universities are only just now being opened to women, and many of the professors are up in arms against the innovation. The other day In Berlin a woman went to a lecture given by the leading professor in his tory. As soon as the lecturer saw her In the audience he stopped, and not con tent with ordering her out he descended and put her out with his own hands. Such Is the legal condition of the German woman that recently a meeting was called by some feminine leader for the purpose of organizing ‘to obtain the same laws and privileges that ara enjoyed by women In England.’ England is so far behind America in many respects In this matter that the German women must, according to American standards, be very oppressed Indeed. One may Judge of their condition from the fact that Ger man women and boys under age alike are forbidden to Join political associa tions or attend political meetings. The attack that the German government has been making on the socialist party Is mainly because women are allowed to take part in the political affairs of the party.” Mrs. Willis J.

Dr. Scudder of Kentucky before the faculty and students of Poliotk-Stephens Institute at the First Method's! church was one of force and eloquence. Dr. Scudder is a master of the English langliage, and his clear-cut. terse, well-rounded sentence? bristled with strong ideas, well conceived and well expressed. His subject, “The Opportuni ties of Life, and How They Should Bo Received,” was especially appropriate, addressed, as It waa. particularly to young women about to enter upon the serious duties of womanhood. He was listened to with profound earnestness by the very large congregation present, all of whom were charmed with his elo quence and his dootrlnes. The piuslo, rendered by a large choir, under the direction pf Professor Boyce, was very fine, and added much to the interest and pleasure of the occasion. The young ladle* oX Pollock-Btepheus institute, except those WhS vtare In the choir, occupied the center of the church and came In with their teachers, In a long procession, making a very attrac tive and Impressive picture In their pret ty white* dresses, flower trimmed hats and with their sweet, eager faces, beam ing with ^obth and hope. Such an ag gregation would have Inspired a preach er of far less gifts than Dr. Scudder, and Dr. Scudder’s excellent sermon proved he was In full sympathy with hks audi ence and his theme. * * * Miss Susie Martin has returned from Baltimore, where she was a student at Miss Cary’s school.
