STREET GAR PEOPLE
 IN ANOTHER FIGHT
Traction Company Will Sue Rail- way and Electric Company
 on Injunction Bonds..

The Birmingham Traction company will Birmingham Railway and Electric com- pany, and the warning street car ele- ments are not yet at peace.
 It will be remembered five injunctions were issued against the Traction company by the Railway and Electric company, not one of which was sustained. The two most notable and important of these were the Eighth avenue injunction and the one which prevented the cars of the Traction company from crossing the other com- pany's track at Woodlawn. Both of these injunctions as well as three other minor ones were set aside by the courts, and now the Traction company proposes to sue for damages on the injunction bonds that were filed in the suit.
 President Alex T. London of the Traction company confirmed this yesterday after noon. He said they intended to push the suit to an end. .~
 'These various injunctions have been a source of much annoyance to the Traction company" said MT. London, land the re- port that we intend sueing on the bonds is true.'
 MT. London said that the trouble the Br- mingham Railway and Electric company had encountered in connection with their Eleventh avenue line with the Twentieth street line what nothing whatever to do with the Traction company. The fight was between the Highland Avenue and Belt line and the Railway and Electric company.

Sole Agents
C.LOWTHIAN BELL,
Son of the Famous Expert, Is In the
 City.

c. Lowthan Bell, a son of the once famous steel and iron expert, Sir Lowthian Bell, arrived in the city early yesterday morning. He is accompanied by w. H. Panton, of Middlesboro, Eng.
 Though MT. Bell is largely interested in steel and iron in England he says that his trip here is purely for pleasure. Since he is an iron sErd steel expert it is thought by many that his presence here means more than mere passtime.
 ; Several reporters called at the hotel for the purpose of securing interviews, but MT. Bell had nothing whatever to say" He remarked that he was interested largely in steel and iron but not in this country.
 MT. Bell came to this city some twenty five years ago with his father, and it was at that time that Sir Lowthian Bell made his famous prediction regarding this city and district At that time Birmingham was a mere village. but after looking over the territory surrounding 1t the baronet said that some day Birmingham, U s. A., would make herself famous in the iron and steel world
 MT. Bell and his friend have not as yet visited the industries around the city, and have not determined whether they will make any investigation or not They in- tend leaving for the north by the end of the week.
 Both of the visitors stated that they knew a considerable quantity of iron was being shipped from this place to English markets, but that it was not their business to investigate the matter and they were making no inquiries.
 Mr. Bell is apparently about 95 years of age, and is said to very much resemble his father, with whose name Birminghamians are quite familiar. He Is considered an au- thority in iron and steel circles.

lFlLilUIldN AND KILLED BY NEGRO John D. Herring Had Trouble With
 Taylor Collins. WAS ONE OF HIS TENANTS The Merchant Hit N0SFO'S Wii0 With
 His Fist. COLLINS SHOT HIM THREE TIMES LynchiEg Was Threatened for Time, and This Caused an Uprising of Negroes Cool Heads EPre-
 vailed, However.
COLLINS SHOT HIM THREE TIMES

Woodstock, small town in Bibb county about thirty miles below this city, was the scene of terrible tragedy yesterday, in which John D. Herring, one of the most prominent citizens and merchants of the place, was killed by Taylor Collins, ne- gro who was a tenant of the murdered man.
 It seems that Collins was behind in his rent and wanted to move out of the house, Herring told him not to do so until he had paid the rent. Yesterday Collins wife started to move her effects and Herring struck her with his fist.
 Shot Him Three Times
 This enraged the husband, who without warning opened fire on Herring, shooting him three times. The first shot took effect in the right hip near the back bone, the second in the right jaw and the third in the neck, breaking the bone and producing death.
 As Herring fell to the ground corpse, his brother, P. I. Herring, who was at tracted by the shooting, ran up and opened fire on the negro, who managed to escape without injury, and ran to Woodstock, where he surrendered to Justice R. M Pen dleton.
 As soon as the news of the tragedy be- came known people began to flock into tine little town from all directions, and great excitement prevailed.
 Justice Pendletou. in the capacity of cor Iod oft x,fa the remains and hearing the testimony verdict was returned that Herring came to his death from guDshot wounds at the hands of Collins.
 Strong Talk of Lynching
 There was strong talk of lynching, but cooler judgment prevailed, and the jaw was allowed to take it's course
 When the excitement was at fever heat the negroes. who floclsed to town in large numbers, threatened damage to the whites If Collins was harmed, and for time it looked as if a race war was imminent. The negroes were heavily armed, and their forces were being added to almost every moment.
 The Justice Dispersed Them.
 Justice Pendleton, who carries a cool head on his shoulders, went among them and by his prompt action succeeded in dispensing them after securing most of the arms.
 Collins was taken In charge by Deputy Sheriff Thatcher, who succeeded in getting him away unharmed although the excite ment had subsided with the exception of a few hot heads, who were finally cooled down.
 Collins will be taken back this morning, and will be given a preliminary hearing before Justice J. w. Green. Herring conducted large mercantile es- tablshment, and had accumulated quite a little fortune. He was prominent In poli- tics, and was popular with all classes. He leaves a wife and seven children.

MILLER CASE CONCLUDED.
Judge Feagin Now Has the Case Under
 Advisement.

The case of Undertaken John D. Miller, who was arrested on warrant sworn out by the officers of Congregation Emanuel. charging him with trespass after warning, is In the hands of Judge Feagin. The trial. which was begun on Tuesday morning, was concluded yesterday, and the case was taken under advisement. The charge grew out of the removal of the body of Mrs. Martin Helm from the Jewish cemetery at Enon Ridge against the warning of the cemetery board, and will probably become a famous case, inasmuch as new questions of law have been raised which have never been settled by the supreme court.
 Judge Feagin will probably render his decision tomorrow.

COMING ELECTION
Only Contest Will Be Between Police
 Commission Candidates.

Registration for the coming city election will close on next Monday night. So far very few voters have registered, and the indications are now that the city will not poll more than half of it's total vote.
 Tho only contest that will attract tho least interest will be between the demo- cratic nominees for places on the police commission. Under the bill changing the affairs of the police commission, four of them receiving the highest number of votes will hold for four years. The three tail-enders will only hold for two years.
 Everybody who participated in the demo- cratic primaries is bound to support the nominees, but there is likely to be a hard fight among the police commissioners for the outside vote.

A PERFECT BAKING POWDER.

The constantly increasing demand for Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream of tartar powder for forty years, is due to two causes. FIRST:-The extreme care exercised by the man- ufacturers to make it pure, uniform In quality and of highest leavening power. Skilled chemists test every ingredient to purity and strength sEcoND:-Recent. State Investigations show that the majority of other baking powders contain alum ndconsumers are giving such powders wide berth. Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder It is pronounced by all authorities as free from alum or other adulterant It never disapponts. Each can is like the other! The BEST Is ALWAYS the CHEAPEST.

New Administration Will Be Asked to
 Appoint One.

It is said in political circles that the in- coming city administration will be asked to appoint plumbing inspector.
 As the matter now stands City Engineer Kendrick must issue all permits and mako the inspections in addition to his other work. The work about to be entered into by the city in the way of constructing sewers and improving streets will require more of the city engineers time, and it Is argued that he will not have time to at- tend to the plumbing.

do large banking business, all OF
which will be converted into the new
institution, and with such an assoc1a-
ton of men at the head, the new bank
insures success from the start.

A HEAVY Shipment
Of Canned Goods From California
and BaItimore-LargeSt Con-
signment Ever Received by an
FL pdSO Merchant.

The largest shipment of canned
goods ever received here arrived a few
days ago consigned to Q. II. Lawrence,
the enterprising Ell Paso grocer.
The shipment consisted of 5000 cases
of fruits and vegetable of the finest
kinds from California and Baltimore.
Mr.. Lawrence says that from present
in dications he does not think that he
will have enough to carry him through
the season. His outside business is
rapidly increasing and he is at present
shipping goods all over Texas, Arizo-
ma, Mexico and New Mex ico.
Owing to the large wholesale bust
ness he is doing, and the large quaDti-
ties he buys his goods in. he is enabled
to sell at very low prices, and those
looking for bargains are quick to see
the point and take advantage of it.
Country orders are given special at
tention. Send in your orders and be
convinced.
