Was a Countryman Out of $40 and His
Watch-Th Sweindler the Members
of a Gang.

Another countryman, giving his name
as Smith, was flim-fammed out of a
plated watch and $40 in cash yester-
day morning near the depot
1t was the same old card trick that has
been successful 50 many times before.
The chief operator has a package Of
cards which he shows to his intended
victim. Another swindler puts in his
appearance at the proper time and holds
the stakes of bet or makes bet in
which case the chief operator holds the
stakes. In every case the countryman
or intended dupe becomes the victim in
deed and the two swindlers make their
escapes in opposite directions. This was
the scheme as worked on Smith and va
ried very little from the previous games
reported to the police.
Smith is farmer and came from South
Alabama. He was able to give the Off
GERS a very good description of the two
men who are thought to have been only
recently liberated from the county Jail.
Smith lost his all. av
1t is thought that the swindlers are
members of a gang who have been oper-
ating in and around this city for some
time.

FATAL RAILROAD WRECK
On the Southern and Mineral
Road Sunday Morning.
QUESTION OF RIGHT OF WAY
Engineer Charles Bryan Killed, Engineer Mos
by's krm Mashed, and Three Others
More or Less Injured.

In a collision at railroad crossing at
North Birmingham between trains on the
Southern and Louisville & Nashville rail-
roads one man was SO badly injured that
death afterwards resulted and three
others were more or less seriously in
jured.
THE DEAD.
c. M. Bryan, engineer on the Louis
vile & Nashville train. HIS right arm was
broken and face and body badly sealded.
He died at $40 p. m. Sunday.
THE INJURED.
F. w. Mosby. Jr, engineer on the
Southern train; left arm badly bruised
below and around the shoulder; left fore
arm broken in two places; face and BODY
blistered by escaping steam. Not fataL
Smith SPANS negro, fireman on the
Louisville Nashville train; scalded and
bruised about the legs and fest. NO bones
broken and injuries not dangerous
Arthur Lawrence, negro, fireman on
the Southern train; scalded and bruised.
Injuries slight.
An unknown tramp, slightly scalded.
Both sides calm the other at fault and
until the matter is thoroughly invest1-
gated the exact manner in which II oc-
Cured will not be known. The investi-
cation was to have been held yesterday
but both sides were not in readiness so
it was DOS tponed.
The material point of difference IS that
the Louisville & Nashville people claim
to have been run into by the Southern
train, while the latter people claim just
the axsct opposite.
The Louisville & Nashville train con-
sisted of engine No. 237 and caboose in
charge of Engineer Bryan and Conduc-
tor S. Fl. Norton; the Southern train was
made up of engine No. so, caboose and
nine loaded cars, in charge of Engineer
Mosby and Conductor ]. J. billiard. Both
engines were considerably damaged
1t is claimed that both engineers came
to a full stop and sounded the whistle as
required by law. At any rate both en-
gines met with a terrible force The
rails and ties were torn up for a consid-
cradle distance. 1t is claimed that one
engine was without the regulation head
light.
Bryan lived at Bessemer and had
wife and one child. His wife went to
his bedside and was with him until his
death. He was well liked and considered
good, careful and attentive engineer.
His remains were prepared for shipment
by the Warner-Smiley company, from
whose establishment they were taken to
Macon, Ga, yesterday afternoon for in
terment. The body was accompanied by
his WIFE, his ia ther-in-la J. T. McCue,
Yardmaster ]. w. Wachter, of Bessemer,
representing the Masonic fraternity, and
T. S. Pound. of this city, representing
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS. The remains were shipped by way
of Atlanta.
Engineer Mosby was found to be not
as seriously injured as at first supposed.
1T is thought possible to save his left arm
while his other injuries are not danger
Gus.
The two negroes are able to be about
and the unknown tramp was only slight
~ bruised and scalded.

A PROMINENT VISITOR
In the City and Looking Over the Grounds
His Visit Said to Be of Sig
nificance.

A reporter was informed yesterday that
the confidential agent of one of the larg-
est banks in New York is stopping at
the Morris hotel. He has been here for
two or three days, and is quietly looking
around. His coming was not announced
yet his visit, 1t is said is possessed of the
greatest significance to Birmingham His
bank has heretofore invested only in
government and railroad bonds, and other
approved securities of the east, but the
bank has now determined to make in
vestments in the south. The bank did
not arrive at this conclusion of its own
accord, but was forced to 1t by the nu-
merous demands of its clients for south
ern investments.

THE ALIEN LAW.
It is Enforced at All the P. q r.. .. y I.
Company's CoIlieries.

The new alien tax law went into effect
yesterday and the p. & r. C. & l. Co. has
already enforced it, The law taxes all
unnaturalzed foreigners in employ of cor
porations three cents per day, which sum
must be deducted from their wages On
Wednesday the p. & r. c. & 1. Co. issued
notices in this district ordering every
foreigner to bring his naturalization papers
with him to work yesterday. Those who are
in possession of such papers are highly elated
and there is no doubt but that they will
readily accede to the demand. The trouble,
which it was feared would result in several
using the same papers, will be obviated in
having a day set for everyone to present
their proof of naturalization. The idea
of Strengthening the matter out at the
beginning and not allowing it to proceed
until the pay roll is completed, is a good one
and one that should be followed by every
other corporation, thus saving trouble at
that time and preventing the carrying out of
schemes to evade paying this tax. Failure
to comply with the order permits Of no
reasonable excuse, as the matter has been
made perfectly clear The only hope for
reaping the full benefit of this law lies with
the various county judges, who in their
naturalzng processes should maintain
strict examination, highly necessary in this
case, as the applicants will be many who
would evade the tax.
notice has also been served on each fore
man Of the Railway company that he should
at once discharge all foreigners employed, in
order to save the trouble that will arise from
enforcing the new law. This action of the
company s is all its own and the action is
nearer to what was desired by the trainers Of
the new law, and we reap the benefit While
none to our knowledge is employed in the
transportation department, yet hundreds
find employment in the repair gangs. Al
though effected through the instrumentality
of a law, yet the company showed proper
| spirit in putting construction upon the
law that virtually means the Ousting of
every unnaturalized foreigner from their
] employ.
