 Proceedings in All the
 Courts Yesterday.
FOR DEATH OF AN ENGINEER

After remaining out for almost twenty four hours, the jury in the case of s. A. Jones, administrator, against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, In the first division of the city court, yesterday returned yer dict for the plaintiff, fixing the damages at $9, ,734.37.
 The plaintiff sued for $2O,0O0 damages for the death of J. s. Jones, an engineer, who was killed by the explosion of locomo- tive at Hartselle, in July, 1S96 The case had been tried twice before each time resulting in mistrial.
 Second Division
 In the second division of the city court Special Judge E. K. Campbell rendered decision in the case of J. Friedman & Co., vs. the Iron City Bottling company in fa- vor of the plaintiff for $6i.
 United States Court
 Nothing definite has yet been heard from Judge Pardee in regard to holding an ad- journed term of the United States court in this city. Judge Bruce, who is now in Huntsville, received a letter from Judge Toumin of Mobile few days ago. in which he stated that he could come to Birming- ham if necessary. It is thought that Judge Pardee will issue an order for an adjourned term here, on account of the pressure of business which requires attention. It is also possible that Judge Boarman of Shreveport, La, who has several times pre- sided in this city, will be sent instead of Judge Toulmin.
 Criminal Court
 In the criminal court yesterday Tom Bruce, a white boy, 19 years of age, pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary and grand larceny, and was remanded to jail to await sentence. Bruce was arrested with two other boys, charged with entering the store of the Birmingham Arms company some months ago and stealing a quantity of goods.
 Will Hughes, a negro, entered q plea of guilty to the charge of grand larceny.
 The case against Will Hodges, colored, charged with assault with intent to mur- der, was taken up yesterday afternoon and is still on trial
 Lodges was arrested in connection with the shooting of Mrs. John T. Merrill, at Oxmoor, on July Il, last, but on preliminary examination was released. He afterward volunteered as a member of the Third reg iment and was rearrested several weeks ago in camp at Anniston and brought back, the officers claiming that new evidence had been discovered against him. Hodges was dressed in his "soldier' clothes yesterday, and claims that he is in- nocent of the charge. The case will be concluded this morning.

JACK FROST
Has Made His First Visit ofthe Season
 to Birmingham and Vicinity.

Jack frost has made his first appearance in Birmingham and vicinity, although his first appearance was a very light one. Last year the first frosts of the season appeared on October 21, 20, 26, and 30, with the first killing frost November 3. The first time the thermometer went below 50 last year was on October 25
 There are any number of reliable citizens who stated yesterday morning that there was a light frost on the ground when the chickens walked up, and the train men run ming on the Alabama Great Southern rail- road south of this place, say that there was a very percept be frost down about York, Cuba and other points of the state which is thought to be the territory most threat ened by yellow fever.
 May his visits be frequent and of very decided nature," is the wish of more than one person in the threatened districts.
 There was very little change yesterday in the situation of the quarantine on the vari- ous railroads. Superintendent Frazier, of the Southern and State Health Officer San ders went out on a tour of inspection be- tween this city and Columbus, Miss, with a view to reopening the line between these two points. The Mississippi authorities as- sert positively that there is not a case of fever in Columbus, and it is argued that there will be no danger in reopening the line

A TYPHOID CONVALESCENT

A genuine case of "A1gerism" was seen in Birmingham yesterday, the victim being Walter M. Ross, Company K, First Ala bama. His home is in Opelika.
 Ross has been sick for some time with a severe case of typhoid fever in one of the division hospitals at Jacksonville. He was sick at the time the First left Camp Cuba Libre, and was not able to accompany it to Birmingham. He received very fair treatment in the hospital while he was sick, he says, and recovered rapidly. He was able to get up off his cot about week ago, but as is usual with typhoid convalescents, he was extremely weak.
 To his astonishment a few days ago he received orders from the hospital authori- .4es to report for duty at once to his reSi- ment in Birmingham. The sick soldier pro- tested, saying that he was too weak to make the trip, but he was told that he would have to go anyhow; that they needed h.s place in the hospital for somebody else. He was given his transportation and sleep ing car ticket to Birmingham, and there was nothing for him to do but to come
 What would ordinarily be a very pleasant trip to a well man was one of great hard ship to him, and he arrived in Birmingham so weak he could hardly stand He had to ue assisted to walk by some of his com- rades, who found him at the depot. One of them who lives in Birmingham took him home with him and kept him for day or two until he could get his furlough for a short leave of absence signed. When this was done he was put on the train and sent to his home in OpeliSa, although he was S. very weak

Story From Tuscaloosa

'Since the matter published by The Age Herald yesterday concerning the university has become public, it is justice to the ma jority of the students to publish the facts
 "Hazing the new men is an ordinary oc- currence each year which is submitted to good-naturedly by the freshmen when not carried beyond a certain limit. The uni versity authorities take severe measures to prevent the cruelties which are often prac- tied in other institutions. This year, how ever, as The Age-Herald stated, the hazlng was unusually harsh, by a comparative few of the old boys. Allen Jemison, new stu dent, resisted, and being an athletic young fellow of 16, it was found necessary to over come him by numbers. When opportunity offered, therefore, he was thrown down and set upon by twelve boys older than himself, who beat him with leather straps and boards.
 When W. c. Jemison, father of the boy, learned of the occurrence that night, he watched for the ring leader of the affair, and failing to catch him in town, went out to the barracks at midnight. He went to the cadets room and informed the young man that he intended giving him taste of what twelve had given his son, and pro- ceeded to give him a severe punishment. This young man was the only one dealt with.
 ''One of the three boys said to have been shipped on account of hazing had never matriculated. He was found in barracks with a leather strap loaded with two leaden slugs, upon his person, and was sent away in double quick time. The strap is still in the possession of the college authorities. Only a few of the students have been guilty of cruelties. It is the policy of the universi- ty to suppress any attempt at such hazing and the strictest measures are taken when ever it occurs. The majority of the stu dent boys are as gentlemanly and good hearted a set of fellows as are ever found in large institution, and they condemn as sevrely as do the officers the kind of hazng which has recently occurred"

HAVING EPISODE
 AT UNIVERSITY Mayor JemiSOn'S Side Of the

 His Son.
TOOK TWELVE TO DO HIM

The account printed in yesterdays Age- Herald of the severe thrashing adminis- tered by w. c. Jemison, mayor of Tusca~ loosa, to some students of the university on account of the rough manner in which they had "bucked or hazed his son. Allen Jemison created a great deal of interest in Birmingham, not only on account of the prominence of the parties, but because the university has numerous friends in Bir- mingham who take great interest in the in- stitution and who wish to see the time worn custom of hazing abolished from that as well as from all other institutions of learning.
 The report as published yesterday morn- ing was incorrect, in that only one and not three of the boys were whipped by Mayor Jemison. Complete details of the affair are still lacking, but the following telegram which was received from Tuscaloosa last night gives MT. Jemisons side of the affair:
