KILLED WITH ''THE KING OF BARLOWS" CiSC0rO White Stabbed to Death With a
 MurderOuS Knife. IN HANDS OF WILL JACOBS Who is Otherwise Known as "The
 Chattanooga Kid" DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS Occurred in First Alley Near Eighteenth Stree Yesterday Afternoon Claims He Was Robbed-Locked Up on Charge of Murder.
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS

Yesterday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock Will Jacobs, otherwise known as "the Chatta- nooga Kid instantly killed Cicero White another negro in First alley, near Egh- teenth street, by stabbing him in the neck with a knife.
 After the killing Will Jacobs is said to have deliberately wiped the blood from the murderous blade on his handkerchief and walked towards Second alley, where he was arrested a few minutes later by Officer Sam Houston.
 According to the statement of Jacobs White was trying to relieve him of his money and had threatened his life when he struck the fatal flow
 It seems that the two men who were known as Founder have not been on the best of terms for the past few months. Yesterday they met in one of the saloons near the scene of the murder and a quar- rel ehsued Jacobs says that in order to get away from White he started on a run for a car to go to Liberty park to witness a game of base ball, and that as he stepped upon the platform he was pulled from the car by White, who snatched his hat and ran into the alley. Jacobs followed and says that when he caught up with White the latter tried to take his money away from him and threatened his life. A strug gle ensued, and it was but the work of moment when Jacobs plunged large knife into his victims neck, burying 1t to the hilt. The knife struck White on the right side, cutting through the lobe of the ear and it is thought unjointed the neck
 Jacobs then walked coolly away, leaving his victim dead upon the ground. The po- lice were at once notified and Officers Nix and Culpepper and Mounted Officer Ham, ilton were soon upon the scene, and search was at once instituted for Jacobs who had gone down Eighteenth street to- wards the government building.
 As Officer Hamilton approached Second alley near the Kimball house, negro came out and said that Jacobs was in the alley and wanted to give himself up When placed under aTrNst Jacobs had the knife with which he killed White in his hand. It is an ugly-looking weapon with white handle and is labeled 'The King off Bar lows" The blade is about 4 inches long
 Jacobs was taken to the city prison. where the charge of murder was docketed against him. Whites body was removed to the Warmers Smiley undertaking estab- lishment, and two hours later was buried in the potters' field.
 Jacobs took his arrest coolly and says that he would rather be arrested for this offense, under the circumstances. than on a charge of crap shooting, as he believes he will come out of it easier.
 The case will be heard before Judge Fea gin in the superior criminal court this morning.

COLLISION Oh
 GATE CITY LINE Two Electric Cars Come To- gether in East Bir-
 mingham.

The first accident on the Gate City eec- trc line of the Birmingham Traction com pany, which was opened to the public on Friday last, occurred Sunday afternoon near the Munger-Pratt gun works in East Birmingham, when two of the beautiful new motor cars tried to pass each other on the same track. Luckily no one was seriously injured, although the motormen conductors and passengers were consider ably shaken up.
 Near the gin works is a sharp curve in the track, and both the cars were running at a good rate of speed when the motor men discovered the approach of the other car. Brakes were manipulated and the levers reversed, which somewhat slacked the speed when the cars crowded together.
 One of the cars carried no passengers, while six were on the other. Claude Me Daniel, one of the motormen. was struck on the head and it was at first thought that he was seriously hurt, but he soon recovered from the shock The six passen- gers were piled unceremoniously in the front end of the car by the collision, but besides a few slight bruises none ot them suffered any serious injuries.
 Travel on the line was delayed for short time, but the wrecking crew was called into service and the track was soon opened to traffic.

whom the American troops came in con- tact He said that "the ugly devils referring to the Cubans-.would lay around the camps and never do thing. eating good United States rations and smolkinga their fine cigars without even offering the Americans a puff. When the latter Ice turned from bloody battle during which the Cubans had discretey remained in the rear where there was plenty of food and no fighting, they would give us the horse laugh for going out and fighting their bat ties. As it is now, the American soldiers would rather fight Cubans any day than the Spaniards."
 The soldier referred to above was wound ed in the head. and has been in the hospital at Tampa for several weeks He said that the ladies of that city were very nice to the wounded soldiers. and to corroborate his statements he showed basket of deli cous provisions which they had given him for his trip north.

Southern May Restore Cut

Knoxville, Tenn, July 25.-The Southern railway employees running itno this city tonight held meeting at which report was made by a committee recently sent to Washington. This committees work was to solicit from the officials of the road a return of the 10 per cent. cut made in the wage scale in 1893. The committee re- ceived much encouragement at Washing ton and it is given out here that the rail- road men expect partial restoration of the old scale within very short time. It may be that the entire 10 per cent will be restored by January 1. The action of the local railroaders was inspired by the resr toration of the cut on the Louisville and Nashville short time ago. General Marl- ager Cannon, at Washington, assured the committee that the road would accord the men every increase possible.
