And Resume Work at the Terms Stipulated in the Proposition
Made by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway
 Company.

Two thousand coal minere, who for four months past have been on strike in the Blocton district of the Alaba coal fields, have accepted the proposition of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railway company, and will go to work at once.
 The following telegram was received last night, and was at once verified by an ofti- cial of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- way company high in office:
 BLocToN, Aug. 14.-[Special. ]-At a mass meeting of the miners here tonight the entire mining population was present. They voted unanimously to accept the proposition of the coal company and to resume work at once. The strike was inaug urated four months ago today.
 w. s. MERoNY.
 While this resumption only affects the Blocton district, it is understood thnt the action of the miners at that point will be ratified by those at Pratt mines, and in turn by other miners in this district.
 The above is news of vast importance to every one in Birmingham Jefferson county and Alabama, inasmuch as it presages a change of business conditions from normal to active life. It means the resumption of work by thousands of men, the turning loose of vast sums of money, and the busy hum of industry will be heard at the fur naces, rolling mills, foundries, machine shops and other workshops throughout the district. It means gladdened countenances, a renewal of life, as it were, and soon Bir- mipgham will shine forth resplendent in a new life such as she was wont to have in the good old days.
 It is truly piece of good news and as such will be hailed throughout the length and breadth of the land.

OF THE CHARGE OF KILLING ANOTHER BOY ; LAT UNIoNTowN.
 UNIoNTowN, Ang. 14.-[Special. ]-No trial here in years has created the interest that the Thomas Kirker trial has. Thomas was arrested on the charge of killing young Kirker, aged 16, Saturday night, in the presence of about seventy five people. The character of Thomas was greatly in his favor.
 The trial has lasted two days, Justice Christian presiding. Val Taylor and Lovess, two of our most prominent law yers, defended Thomas, and their argn. ments for him were closely listened to. ! After the court adjourned Justice Chris tian gave notice that he would render hls decision at 8 o'clock. At the appointed hour the justice's court room was packed to overflowing, and when the verdict ac- cutting William Thomas was rendered all faces were covered with joyous smiles, and the prisoner received it with tears.

THE FREE SCHOOLS
Will Resume Say the Board-A Small
 Fee to Be Charged Each Pupil.

A called session of the board Of education was held last night in the city hall. The members present were President Samuel Ullman and Mayor David J. Fox, Gen. George L. Thomas and Hon. A. o. Lane.
 MT. Ullman stated that he had called the board to order for the purpose of consider ing the public schools and taking such action as they deemed necessary to keep them open the full term without impairing them in any way.
 Mayor Fox submitted a statement show ing the financial condition of the city. From this it was seen that the city B appro- priation for the next term could not be so large as heretofore. Here was the great difficulty, and the question confronting the board was how to avoid cutting down the corps of teachers and otherwise impairing the public schools, which have always been the pride of Birmingham.
 Several members of the board had been figuring on the matter, as the result of which MT. Lane submitted proposition to the effect that the pupils be charged so much per month, according to the grade they were in. The motion prevailed, and the scale adopted is as follows: First and second grades, 50 cents per month; third and fourth grades, 75 ceDts per month !; fifth and sixth grades, S1 per month; sev- enth grade, $1. 50 per month, and the high school $2 per month, the same as hereto fore.
 The date for opening the schools was postponed from Monday, September F, to Monday, October 1. The secretary was notified to so inform the teachers.
 The rumor has been current for several days that the city schools would not be opaned this fall. There is no truth in such rumors, but, quite 10 thescontrary, all the schools will be opened with full corps of teachers, and there will be no reduction in any way whatever.
 The schools will be maintained in the same high scale that has characterized them the past several years.
 Ia order to avoid closing the schools and to meet other obligations the city has sus- pended all expenditures for improvements except in cases where it is absolutely necessary.

 CHICAGO, Aug. l4.-An attempt was made today to exterminate Alderman John n Coughlin by sending him an internal ma chine. The alderman's life was saved by his opening the machine in such a man ner that it did not explode.

 An analysis of the contents of the in- fernal machine shows that it contained a substance representing nitro- -glycerine, mixed with glue and saw dust.

IMMENSE WORKS TO CLOSE

BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. H.-The Wagner Car shops at East Buffalo will close down on Saturday night, owing to the business depression and the absence of demand for oars. Over 1000 men will be thrown out of work. The Wagner works were among the first to isel the effects of the depression that swept over the country last summer, and which has since continued. The force was reduced from time to time until finally 1t was decided to close the works until busi- ness revives. Very few orders have been received since spring, and the men at work were employed chiefly in repairing old cars. The company hopes to be able to rec sume in about a month.
