MISSISSIPPI NEGROES wlih
Unions Lost the First Game to Columbus,
 Miss.

Quite the warmest thing in the way of a baseball game seen in Birmingham in a long while was that between Columbus, Miss, and the Birmingham Unions at West End park yesterday afternoon. The Columbus team won by 8 cosre of to T.
 There were not a dozen safe hits made on either side and every run was scored on errors. The pitcher for Columbus is a long, lean, lanky specimen of the African tribe, but he can throw curves of every description and variety.
 He has the speed of cannon ball, and with good catcher an outfielder would have been useless to him. The Unions, however, played steady game.
 The game was interrupted twice by fights, one round being fought in the bleachers and another in the grand stand. No blood was shed and when peace had been restored the game proceeded.
 The same teams will play this after noon.

DOWN A STEEP
 BEREAVEMENT Went Mir. and Mrs. Zac. Smith With a Horse and Buggy. A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE The Horse Became Frightened and Went Over the Brink, Carrying the Occupants
 Of the Buggy
 With Him.

What would be thought a terrible cat astrophe and what turned out to be a miraculous escape happened out on the Mary Lee road at Five Mile creek Sun day afternoon.
 Mir. and Mrs. Zac Smith of this city, were driving out to the mineral spring on that road behind very spirited four-year- old horse. They had just crossed the bridge over the creek and were on a part of the road only ten feet wide on either side being very steep embankment about twenty-five feet high.
 Just as they came to this dangerous part of the road the horse became excited, is thought at the smell of blood from the slaughter pen which was on the creek be- low, and began to rear up and then to back the buggy toward the brnk of the embankment. MT. Smith saw that some thing must be done quickly, or the buggy would go down backward, with the horse on top of them. Accordingly, with rare presence of mind he jerked the wild animal around and started it headforemost down the steep declivity with himself and Mrs. Smith in the buggy.
 As the vehicle started on its downward course, Mir. Smith was jerked out of it, landed safely on his feet, and slid grace fully down to the bottom of the embank- ment.
 The buggy tunerd over on its side in It's downward course. with Mrs Smith clinging to her seat on the inside. At the bottom it struck a small hickory tree and suddenly righted itself, allowing Mrs. Smith to a;ight uninjured
 The horse never stopped, but began a wild race over the big bouders of stone and logs which were lying all over the ground, and for about three hundred feet kept up this mad pace. Finally the anil nal stopped before a negro cabin, and stood quietly until MT Smith came up. The buggy, which was a new one. was not injured in the least except for few scratches, nor wa tshe harness.
 Mrs. Smith would not consent to return behind this horse that had proven itself so wild. and it was accordingly left out there to be brought back to town yesterday. It is needless to say that MT and Mrs. Smith are receiving the congratulations of their friends for their wonderful escape.

ARRANGING E0R
 COLLECTING TAXES
Treasury Department formulat- ing a Scheme to Raise Rev.
 enue in the Philippines.

Washington, May 23.-In anticipation of the early occupation of the Philippine isl- ands by the military and naval forces of the United States, the treasury departmenr has already begun the formation of regu,a- tions and scheme of customs tariff which will be collected by the military authorities and turned into the treasury of the United States a military contribution
 That the president has the authority to collect the Philippine revenues under ex- isting conditions is not a matter of doubt. It was several times done during the last war with Mexico, and the authority of the government in the premises was sustained by decisions of the United States supreme court The court in a case which grew out of the capture and occupation of San Francisco and all the upper part of the state of California by the United States troops held the president under the constl- tuition as commander in chief of the army and navy had a right to exercise the be- ligerent right of a conqueror to impose duties on imports as military contribution for support of the army.

DAILY GOT DECl l0NS.
Fight Given to Him on Account of Foul by
 the ''Kid."

New York, May 23-Jack Daly of Will mington Del, got a decision on foul over ''Kid" Mcfarland, of this city, after having fought fourteen and half rounds in the Lenox Athletic club tonight. The bout was a rattling good one while it lasted, but from the eighth round 1t was very evident that Daly would get the better of Mcfarland as the latter lost control of his temper.
 Daily was the favorite in the betting at 101 to 91.
 Mcfarland and Daly turned the scales at 192 pounds at 8 o'clock today. Both were in excellent trim and equally conti- dent of success.
