(Special.) This morning the roof of a large shed Which was In course of construction at the marble mlU or D. J. McDonald Company, fell without tAe slightest warning, carrying with it nine workmen who were on the top of the structure. Three of them werje white and. the others negroes.

The white men hurt were Otto Fleming, foreman, slightly bruised: J. E. Jordan, injured internally; Jim Pitman, leg injured. All of the negro laborers were more or less Injured and two of them sustained fractured limbs. The men fell on large pieces of granite and marble, which were lying in the establishment Thefe is no cause assigned for the accident, though it seems to have been due to faulty construction.

One of the negroes was so badly injured that he is expected to die.

(Special. )-rhe seventy-first annual session of the Alabama Conference Methodist Protestant Church was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning by the President, Rev. C. B. McDaniel of Montgomery, the secretary.

m. the Conference came to order, the president In the chair. J. L. Moseley and B.

L. Stanley, were appointed committee on Fraternal Relations. Examination of official characters was called. President McDaniel made his official report and his character as pastor of Montgomery church was passed with credit to him. The characters of several pastors were called and passed satisfactorily.

Election for conference officers was called Rev. E. L. Moore was re-elected secretary, a position he has held a number of years. As a token of the appreciation of his services a number of the members presented him a beautiful gold fountain pen.

Rev. J. L. Moseley made a neat presentation speech and Mr. Moore replied gracefully.

H. A. Day of Dallas County, treasurer, was unanimously elected Conference Steward. The old board of church extension was re-elected. The election for president is a special order for tomorrow at 2 p.

m. and it is safe to say that Rev.C. B. McDaniel will be chosen by acclamation. He is a firm, impartial presiding officer and dispatches busines without unnecessary delay.

The characters of the preachers was still the order of business up to the hour of adjournment and J. E. Chapman, W. G. M.

W. Grant and T. M. McGraw had been passed. There are nearly one hundred ministers and delegates in attendance and they are being entertained at the homes of Troy's citizens regardless of denomination.

Among the noted visitors to the conference are Rev. J. L. Scarbrough, president of the Mississippi conference; Rev. T.

J. Ogburn of North Carolina, Secretary of the National Board of Home Missions, M. P. Church; and Prof. W.

G. McDaniel of Georgia, brother of the president. Ira Champion, editor of The Southern Trade Journal, Montgomery, is attending the conference. The president's annual report was as follows: Dear Brethren "Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ." "The Lord has done great things" this year for our Zion "whereof we are glad." The outlook for our church was never hopeful in the Alabama district. God has placed before us as a church an open door which no man can shut.

The possibilities are wonderful. The cry comes up from all over the State for the principles of church' government as taught by our denomination, the mutual rights of the ministry and laity in the annual and general conferences and also but one order of the ministry "all elders of the church of God are equal." Our church polity, when clearly presented, is readily accep ed. Let us praise God for these wonderful opportunities of today, and, like a glorious church go forth to meet them. This has been a year of church building. A beautiful and commodious house of worship has been erected at Ozaik.

A new church has been built on Jefferson circuit at Sandusky. Churches have been organized at Clayton, Clanton, Klines Chapel, Marcin Springs and other points. Brothers S. L. Morrill and J.

P. D. Wilkerson have done efficient work at various points and we commend them to the church throughout the entire dis-trist. I have to report: First On Dec. 3rd, 1898, I appointed Rev.

T. F. Davis pastor of Union Circuit. Second On Dec. 8th, 1898, I appoint He and the Governor Were Very Much Excited When Money was Mentioned In Cullman, Jacob Schwann; John) MARRIED IN ALABAMA.

Bays the Governor Was Willing to The grand jury of Elmore County was in session last week and during the session were entertained at the State penitentiary, a short distance out from the town. The jury went to the penitentiary on the invitation of Mr. John Perkins, the Superintendent In charge, and spent Thursday night most pleasantly. The gentlemen present engaged In the discussion of all the leading topics of the day, both social and political, and It had seemed that it was only a social gathering until Judge Mitchell of Florence, a candidate for Auditor, who was present, branched out into a political speech and indulged in the very highest praise of the Governor and of his administration of the State government. It is said that he told how the Governor had saved so much to the State and had cut down the deficit, which the committee of which the judgi had been a member reported would be over half a million next January.

No credit was given to Treasurer Ellis therefor, his circular being referred to, but passed over by the judge with a sort of sneer, as though it was not worthy of any particular notice. Mr. John Perkins the keeper of the farm and superintendent of the walls, was the other speaker, and he had much to say about the great and splendid work done by the business. Governor and his administration and how economical and saving they had all been. Then it dawned upon the members of the jury that they had unwittingly gotton into a Johnston caucus, and it was developed, as the story comes, that the jury was about equally divided between Morgan and Johnston, more than half of them being Ex-Congressman Goodwyn was of the number, but it does not appear that he was for Morgan, for he is said to have challenged the statements of Mr.

Mitchell and Superintendent Perkins that in favoring the Nicaragua Canal Senator Morgan was doing the South a great injury. Mr. Goodwyn is said to have declared that the Canal would prove he best thing for the Southern States that had ever been done by Congress since the war, and that he had no fears that the United States would allowany other Nation to control the Canal, as this country had fully demonstrated recently that it was abundantly able to take care of Itself. It Is reportecLthat this declaration on the part of the leading Populist a little disconcerted the Governor's champions, and that they began to explain and take the back track, and that the Judge almost took back all he had previously said against the venerable Senator, for whom he professed to have the very highest admiration. There was no surprise that the Superintendent of the Penitentiary should be for the Governor, but there were members of the jury who were surprised that Judge Mitchell, who Is a candidate for Auditor, should be taking such a decided stand In the matter.

But when it was remembered that he is said to be slated as the Johnston candidate, and has been heard, it is also said, to have boasted of that fact, there need be no further -surprise at his action. If he is running as the Johnston candidate for Auditor, however, it is thought he should be frank enough to let The people know it in the canvass, so that they may know how and for whom they are voting. It was a most interesting occasion, and the evening at the penitentiary will be long remembered by all who were present, and by some who were not there, who are probably thankful that they did not get caught in the H.

Plowman said: "To say that I am greatly surprised at the statement of Captain H. C. Reynolds would poorly express my feelings. I have always been a friend to Captain Reynolds. I knew him during the war and admired him for his gallantry and bravery, and when the location of the industrial school was agitated I worked for its location at Montevallo, because I believed it the best place; and, second, for the esteem and admiration I had for Captain Reynolds.

Why he should bring me into this land controversy I am unable to understand, but eince he has seen proper, for purposes unknown to me, I am fearful his action is not prompted from a motive to pro-, mote the best interests of the Girls' Industrial School. But since charges of very grave nature have been made against me, I will simply say for the present that the charge that I presented an offer of over $5 for these lands is absolutely untrue. Mr. W.

does great injustice to an old friend, one who has stood by him when all others have deserted him, when he says he believes he can show that any undue influence has been taken in the division of these lands, or that I am in any way Connected with Mr. De-Bardeleben in the purchase. I will say that the division was absolutely fair and the commissioner, Mr. Hare of Tuskegee school, told me that if he had gotten first choice he would have selected the lands west of the Warrior River, and that decision had been arrived at after an interview with Booker Washington and other members of his Board, and further that I have no interest in Mr. DeBarde-leben's purchase, and knew nothing of his offer until it was presented to the Board." "What of the statement that Governor Johnston offered you $500, to get out of the way," was asked of Mr.

Plowman. "When the conversation referred to between the Governor and myself occurred," replied Mr. Plowman, "we were both very much excited. The Goverror admitted that he had gotten himself into quite a dilemma with two friends, and then he said that he was willing to do almost anything to get out of it. He said something about profferir.g to give me $500.

I left his office under the impression that he had offered me that sum, but I returned later and he said that was not th case, but he had intended to convey the impression that he would not have gotten into the muddle for $500, or would willingly give $500 to be relieved of embarrassment' of it." When seer, about the Reynolds statement, W. P. Pinckard was askad if he had anything to scy in reply to that part of interview referring to him. He said that he had no interest whatever in the option on the Montevallo School lands, and has never had an option or interest in the same. As to the reference to his son.

W. B. Reynolds, made by Clay Reynolds, I have not seen the publication over Governor Johnston's signature in which he is alleged to have used my name in connection with his controversy with H. Clay Reynolds, and such use of my name was without my and whatsoever may have passed between Governor Johnston and myself was in a private conversation. Capt.

Plowman, one of the commissioners, approached me to know if I would become a purchaser of these lands, and as I was at the time looking for coal and iron properties, I agreed to entertain a negotiation with the trustees for these school lands at the price of $5 per acre. In a day or two after the first conversation with Capt. Plowman, W. B. Reynolds came to my office with Capt.

Plowman and stated that he believed he could get an option on the lands of the Montevallo School at $4 per acre. I laughed and said as a purchaser, ofcourse I had no objection to buying the lands at a less price than $5 per acre. and if he (W. B. Reynolds) would bring me an option from the trustees at $4 per acre, that should a purchase of lands at that price result I would pay him for his services a part of the saving to me in the price I had agreed upon as a fair value for the lands.

This resulted in a short memorandum, being signed by W. B. Reynolds and myself. The next morning H. Clay Reynolds, Capt.

Plowman and WT. B. Reynolds called at my" office and in the conversation which followed. Clay Reynolds and I both agreed that on account of his official connection with the school his son had best not enter into the work he had sought to do In procuring an option on the land, and then and there the matter ended so far as young Reynolds and I were concerned.

P. CONFERENCE. Sunday Was a Great Day for the Church Labor Completed. Troy, Nov. 13.

Special.) Yesterday large congregations attended the services at the First Baptist, the Methodist and the 'Methodist Protestant Churches. The sermons were all interesting, judging from comments of those who heard them. This morning at 9 o'clock the conference was called to order with the usual devotional exercises. Routine work was the order of the day, the finishing up of the pastor's reports and the passing of their official characters being one of the principal items. Reports of the committees were presented as they were ready.

Soon after the assembling of the afternoon session an adjournmnt was taken until 4 o'clock to allow all committees that not prepared to get together and finish their reports. The Finance Commitee's report shows that the finances of the Conference are in good shape. Rev. J. L.

Morrill, the noted evangelist, arrived on the 1 p. m. train today, from Caiera, where he has been holding a meeting. He wanted to close Friday night and come to the Conference Saturday, but said the interest was such that he could not, so he continued until last night and will return there as soon as the Conference adjourns. The personnel of the Conference, both ministerial and V.y will compare favorably with any similar body of men from any denomination, especially is this true of the younger class of preachers.

At 2:30 p. m. yesterday the annual Christian Endeavor conference rally was held. Rev. J.

Judge Densoft was invited, but for sufficient reasons he did not go. Solicitor Brewer was there, and he is' said to have been heard to express regret that he too did not have an excuse. Judge Mitchell ought to do the Treasurer the justice to take his circular letter along and read it to the people wherever he takes occasion to sound the praises of the Governor and to read also the Treasurer's report of the condition of the State Treasury on the 30th day of September last, the end of the last fiscal year. That would show that the deficit bad not been so nearly wiped out by the Governor as he had claimed in his recent address to the people of the State. It will be insisted that if Judge Mitchell is running for Auditor as the Johnston candidate and as in antagonism particularly to Morgan and the Nicaragua Canal, he should make the issue openly and squarely and let a victory if he wins one be worth something to the Boss.

Fifth Winston Mission has been supplied by Rev. J. L. Roberson. Sixth On August 16th, 1899, I received resolutions from the Quarterly Conference of Talladega Mission asking the removal of Rev.

J. F. Thompson who was serving them as pastor, for the reason "that he says he and his wife are separated, and that he is engaged to another woman," etc.v I notified the quarterly conference to prepare the definite charges and specifications and forward the same to me and that I would furnish the accused with a copy of the same, and cite him to trial. This they failed to do. I wrote the accused brother and have his letter wh'ch I will turn over to a committee which I herewith recommend that you appoint to investigate the matter.

time ago adopted Jive ducklings and became very much attached to them. The other day two boys passed the piece of land on which the hen and her adopted family were searching for food, stole two -of the ducklings and made off. Immediately the old hen followed them, clucking frantically, and made such a noise over the abduction that the robbers took refuge in a shop, where they drank mineral waters and waited for the disturbance to subside.

D. Daniel of Georgia was assigned "Temperance." After the addresses came the business meeting and Mr. Walter D. Seed of Tuscaloosa authorizes the announcement that he is a candidate for the nomination for State Treasurer before the next Democratic State convention. Mr.

Seed Is a young man of fine business capacity, a graduate of the State University and has a wide acquaintance in the State. He has had the matter of his candidacy under consideration for sometime and has at last decided, to enter the race. While In Montgomery recently he renewed old school boy associations and made many new acquaintances 'the reports from the field work showed IT CAN'T BE DONE. No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic Disease Can be Cured Unless the Stomach is First Made Strong and Vigorous. carefully through the medical department, consulting and compiling from the best works of this country and abroad, on the value of coffee.

There is abundance of evidence to show that In some cases coffee, used as a stimulant is of advantage, While with many human systems it is a decided poison which will build up chronic conditions of disease if made use of steddily. The investigator writes: "We have used for years your Postum Food Coffee and found nothing to fill its place." Among his quotations appears the following: "One of the highest authorities in Materia Medica and Therapeutics in England says: Caffeine, wihlch is the stimulating part of coffee, is, in general terms, a stimulant first, and subsequently a paralyzant to the nerve centers in the cerebellum, medulla and spinal cord. 'In small doses it quickens the activity of the heart and raises arterial tension, larger doses often the cerebral circulation, causing great heaviness of the head, flashes of light before the eyes, insomnia, restlessness, and even delirium. Administered in sufficient quantity, it would doubtless prove fatal to "To thousands of peODlc, coffee, of which caffeine is its chemical structure, is therefore a poison. Languor, restlessness and prostration follow as a result In the system When the habit of its continuance Is acquired.

This is followed by muscular tremor and sometimes dizziness, with nervous dyspepsia and insomnia; in fact, a train of depressing ails frequently not traceable to the beverage which never inebriates, but is in reality the source." The gentleman concludes his long and very interesting paper on the subject with the statement, "Companies similar to that of the Postum Cereal of Battle Creek are to be multiplied and stand as benefactors of the race. Whatever our personal preferences, let us not class these changes in dietary to peculiar views and theories, but rather as generally recognizod and accepted truths, a valuable acquisition of progress and investigation, scientific and philanthropic." The rapid pace lived by American brain-workers has forced them to seek food and drink that quickly and suiuly rebuild tho exhausted energies, and such people as a rule feel tho disastrous effects of a continued use of coffee. It is to furnish this class of people with correct food and drink, selected and manufactured in the most scientific manner, that Postum Cereal Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts have been placed on the market. All first-class grocers furnish thing. MORE TEACHERS LICENSED.
