many and varied. Yesterday morning while Dr. Benton was working in the house to house canvass on Eighteenth street he found a girl in Eighth alley who had scratched her arm with a pen knife and told him that she had been vac cinated.
 pr. Dozier found another case on Seventh alley between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, where the old negro woman said that she was too busy at work to be vaccinated. When tod that she had to submit she stuck out foot that would demand No 14, and told the young doctor to vaccinate that. With that retort she continued her work of ironing. It took considerable arguing with her before she would stop her work long enough to have her arm scratched.
 Little Carrie Seigle still remains at her fathers home, but the guards have been removed and an officer placed on watch. He has orders not to allow any one to enter or 1eavs the place. It is said that MT. Seigle refused to pay for the guards ard that the city did not think it in it's province to do so.
 great many people refuse to be vac- cinated until they are compelled to. If they would attend to this in time they would find the danger greatly reduced The people who are being sent to the Red mountain camp are only those who have not been vaccinated.

The law firm of Hewitt, Walker x Por- ter rendered written opinion yesterday to the health committee in reference to the lawful powers of that body.

I.ahor pav Celehration.

The Labor Day celebration projected by the American Railway Union which was to- have been held at Lakevlew has been abandoned because of the smallpox scare. The prime feature of the cele- bration was to have been a mass meet ing of the working people of Birmingham and vicinity for the purpose of organiz- ing a provisional body with officers and committees preparatory to the formation of a local branch of the new social dem ocracy. The plan for the mass-meeting, however, has not been abandoned, but the convention is deferred until the lat ter part of September orearly in October Before that time, 1t Is expected, the min- ing strikes will have been settled and President Debs, who is now actively en- gagged among the strikers, will have eff fected some steps toward ths transfor- nation of the A.

FROM CAUSES UNKNOWN.
The Coroners Verdict Fails to Throw Any
 Light on Webb's Death.

The cause of the death of J. A. Webb, the painter who was found dead in the hot water vat at Sloss furnace, still re- mains a mystery. The coroner's jury has failed to throw any light on the sub4 ject, and states that the man came to his death from causes unknown. The verdict, as rendered yesterday morning, is in two sections as follows:
 ''The coroner's jury empanelied to in- vestigate the cause of the death of J. A. Webb. say that he came to his death by means unknown to the jury.
 GEORGE LEE.
 R. A. HARRINGTON, J. s. BOLTON.
 w. H. NELL,
 w. c. HERNANDEZ,
 c. c. JOHNSON.
 G. B. BURKHALTER,
 Coroner. The coroner and jury recommend to the county commissioners and city coun- cil that the Sloss Iron & Steel company be required to build wall around the pit in which Webb's body was found.' Although the verdict does not say whether the cause of the death of Webb was by unlawful means or otherwise, Coroner Burkhalter said that in his opin- ion there was no doubt that Webb met his death accidentally. The jurors, too, seemed to have adopted that theory. The recommendations to the county com- missioners and the city council were made by the jury in the hope that people would be better protected in passing that way. It has been stated that Webb was the forth body taken from the ill-fated vat
 There is only a small wire, or cable, around the vat, and this, in places, has been torn away. There was mo protec- ton at the point where Webbs body was found. Where it is intact, it does not afford adequate protection. A person can easily fall into the boiling water as did Webb. .as4s 's-asEs Hls, sei'

NEW COMPETITOR IN LINE Rumored That the Seaboard Air
 Line Is in the Fight WITH A $1O RATE TO N. Y From Atlanta-Ths Southern and Central of Georgia Are Busy Making Rates
 10 Baltimore.
WITH A S1O RATE TO N. Y

Tt was rumored last night that the Sea- board Air Line proposed to make a rate of $10 for the round "trip from Atlanta to New York via Norfolk and the Old Do- minion Steamship line. Should this line pursue such a course it will create con stetnaticn among the roads now cempet- ing for eastern -ravel from Birmingham. The fare to New York and return would then be S2O, including the regular rate Of $10 for the round trip from Birmingham to Atlanta. Railroad men say that such a rate made by the Ssaboard Air u.ine would not be surprising in view of he roads past history in rata wars. It is after the business, and will come to The lowest notch to get it.
 The Central of Georgia, which precip- btaleed the rate war. has announced rate of $22.30 to Baltimors lasting only from August 10 to IA. These tickets will be good to Savannah by rail and thence to Baltimore by way of the Merchants and Miners Transp sponlation company. They will be good for -wenty-three days.
 Travelling Passenger Agent J. P. Bill lups, of the Southern, has secured an all rail rate to Baltimore for $23.1O or by a water route for $2O25. MT BiIlups claims that his all rail route will save several hours time.
 Railroad men are now recalling the promise made by President Milton H. Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville, during the strike of 1893. To get the men to go back to work he made the promise that the 10 per cent. reduction, which brought on the strike, would be raised when the yearly earnings reached the figures of 1892. By the last monthly report the earnings of the road exceeded those of 1892, and the employees are now wondering if wages will be raised.
 Sid Jones is back at his post in the Louisville and Nashville office, after a few days absence from the city.

strength free from excitement. but in
reality from a disinclination he could
not overcome. The countess, herself,
dressed her daughter in the feecy

hand to touch a single fold. She lin

thousand guests to behold me"
But the countess smoothed a wave of

diamond ornaments entirely and re-
