Mary was not represented by council, but the evidence against her was not strong enough to con- vince the jury of her guilt and she was turned loose.
 A case against R. H. Stricklan, the al- legged Congo missionary, charging assault with intent to murder, was passed until today.
 William Sullivan was on trial for assault with intent to murder when court ad- iourned, and his case will be disposed Of this morning.

CUT TO DEATH
 WITH A RAZOR Wes Foster BrutaI|y Murdered
 at Smith Mines. RESULT OF GAME OF CRAPS The Murdered Man Had Broke" Louis and Dock Davis, and Was Induced Into the Woods Where He Was
 Murdered and Robbed.
RESULT OF GAME OF CRAPS

As the result of a quiet" little game of craps, Wes Foster, a negro ore mineer, was brutally murdered at Smith Mines, on the Bessemer and Powderly dummy line, about 6:30 yesterday afternoon.
 It appears that Doc and Louis Davis and Wes Foster, three negro miners, got into a game of craps yesterday morning. For tune favored first one and then the other, and the game was prolonged until after dinner. Finally Foster had "streak of luck and succeeded in breaking the other two negroes, winning all their money and checks on the commissary
 Later in the day Louis Davis went to the office and got check for his days work on Wednesday which was still due him. He then sought Foster and induced him. to go into the woods to shoot craps again. Spurred on by his good fortune of the morning Foster agreed to the proposi- ton and accompanied Louis to a secluded spot a short distance this side of the mines. When the two men got into the woods, Dock Davis appeared on the scene and the game was renewed. Only a few ''passes" had been made when Foster and Dock Davis became engaged in a quarrel over 30 cents.
 It seems that the matter was finally set tleu ana fOSter LOOK up the bones 10 make another pass, when Dock Davis attacked him with a razor, cutting his throat from ear to and inflicting a horrible wound in the abdomen producing almost instant death. The murderer then ransacked the pockets of his victim, securing all his money and check and immediately fled, coming in the direction of this city.
 Louis Davis was taken in charge by Superintendent Joe -Whitmore, of the Smith Mining company, and the sheriff's office was notified. Chief Deputy Robert Warnock and Deputy John Barker left for the scene of the murder and at 1 o'clock this morning landed Louis Davis in jail.
 It is alleged that Louis purposely in duced Foster to go to the woods in order to afford Dock an opportunity to attack him.
 Louis Davis, the man in jail, will make no statement in regard to the matter ex- cept that the two men quarreled over 90 cents when Dock attacked Foster with a razor.

WAGE QUESTION SETTLED
ACTION RATIFIED BY CONVENTION

Instead of laying down their picks and quitting work, as was one of the possibii- ties of the wage question, the coal miners of the Birmingham district will this morn- ing take up their tasks with renewed en- ergy and light hearts, The contract un- der which they will work during the coming fiscal year is on minimum basis of 40 cents per ton, an advance of 21a cents over the old contract which expired yesterday. The state convention of miners which for the past two weeks has been wrestling with this all important question, held it's last session yesterday morning and ad journed sine die.
 Chairman William Fairley
 The convention was called to order by Chairman William Farey, president of the district branch of the United Mine Workers of America. The reports of the various delegations were favorable to the propos4 zion of the Tennessee company, and the action was ratified by the conven- ton.
 After appointing the following represen- tatives to visit the office of the Tennessee company to sign the new contract, ad- journnnent was taken.
  District United Mine Workers of America. Pratt City-Frank Fournier Wm. Kirk patrick, James Holmes, A. J. Evans T. Il. Tinney, s. l.. Brooke (colored), Hannibal Haywood (colored), c. w. Cain (colored. West Pratt-John Lamont Jerry M. Garth (colored).

 The Contract Signed.
 Immediately after adjournment the seo- eral representatives repaired to the office of the Tennessee company in Morris avenue and were met by General Manager McCor- mack. The contract which was drawn in accordance with the proposition submitted was signed by both parties. Under this contract the scale of wages will be based on the price of all grades of pig iron, with 40 cents at Pratt mines as a minimum rate. The Sloss company miners will work un- der the old contract, which does not expire until July 1, 1899, that company having posted notice of a voluntary advance of 21a cents. It was therefore unnecessary to sign a new contract with the Sloss com pany.

A POT-POURRI OF
 POLITICAL GOSSIP

rumor was published in The Age-Her- Captain W. c. Ward, of this city, would be candidate for the democratic nomna- tion of governor in 1900, and this rumor was confirmed yesterday by a positive statement by Captain Ward.
 Captain Ward has, ever since the war, practiced his profession in this state and has been an ardent supporter of the demo- cratic party, but never until this year has he asked for any of it's honors. The splen- did race he made in April for the nominal tion as judge of the Tenth judicial circuit is still fresh in the minds of the people of the state. He led all of his opponents by good plurality in the primary, but accord ing to the contrary law of conventions he was defeated by the weakest candidate.
 Captain Ward is a modest man.. but he is well known all over the state, and is in close touch with the people. His friends say that he will give General Shelley, Frank Pettus any other aspirant that may announce himself good race for the nomination.
