RAIDED A CRAP GAME.
Six Bone Rollers" Made Prisoners at
 East Lake.

Deputy sheriffs and constables united forces Sunday afternoon, and after col5id- erable maneuvering made an advance on a crap game near East Lake. Six of the 'ibone rollers surrendered and were made prisoners. Others had been forewarned of the attack, and escaped, fleeing through the woods in every direction. The cap- tured men were taken before Justice Will Hams, and after they had made sufficient bond were paroled.
 The old sham battle ground near East Lake was the scene of action, and Deputy Sheriffs Courson, Marshall, Love, Baker and Constable Shugart were the attacking forces. The officers said that before an advance was made they hid in the woods near by and took a survey of the situation On every side could be seen groups of men kneeling in circle. Every few minutes such phrases as 1.-Two bucks l shoot!" "Hop on to the five!" "Whop! I hit im." could be heard. Before the officers could reach the game general alarm was turned in, and the crap shooters fled. Six of them were a little behind time, and were placed under arrest
 The officers say the men were all from Birmingham

CARPENTERS GRANT RELIEF.
Property Owners Can Employ Mechan-
 ics Without Signing Scale,

As yet there has been no change in the situation of the carpenters strike. They cannot come to terms with the contra ctors, and all negotiations are off.
 A meeting of the Carpenters union was held in Bricklayers' hall last might, with about 300 members present. After listening to several talks from leading carpenters the following resolution was passed:
 "Whereas, We believe that the work be" ing done in Birming gham by property own- CTS, by the day, does by no means conflict with our agreement of September 16, 1899, demanding that scale be signed by con tractors of this city. Therefore, be it
 Resolved, That all property owners do- ing work by the day, paying the minimum scale of wages and working nine hours a day, can continue said work with union men without signing the scale.''
 In explanation of this resolution, Presi- dent Wollenhaupt said last night that it had nothing whatever to do with the con- tractors.
 ''The resolution applies to property own CTS who are erecting their own buildings" !" MT. Wollenhaupt explained, land hire car- penters by the day. These men are not
 
 pay the minimum wages as named in our proposition, the men are at liberty to go to work on those jo5s. For instance, the new opera house. The owners are per fectly willing to pay the Wages we ask, but are not contractors and cannot sign our contract. Hereafter union men will work on that job
 In regard to the strike situation, MT. Wollenhaupt said that there were now only twenty-five men not working.
 We can put them to work tomorrow if they desire he said "and the refusal of the contractors to sign our scale is of little importance now. Out of all the trouble we have lost thirteen men, who went to 'scabbing,' and have gained TO men in the union.
 We have committee ready at any time to meet and confer With the contractors,' D continued Mir. Woenhaupt, "and would like to settle the matter with them amca- bly. Of course, if they do not choose to come to an agreement. we can be equally as firm"

 Association.

Philadelphia, Pa. September 25.-The Cotton Spii ners' association which has been holding daily meetings since last Fri day today adopted a new scale of prices as follows:
 Two-ply warps: S-315 cents; S-2. 12 cents; 1o-e, 1213 cents; 12-2. 15 cents: 14-2 13ls cents 16-2. If cents, 20-2. 1a1a cents 22-2, 15% cents 24-2, 16 cents; 26-2 l6lA cents 3O-2. 1sla cents. Single warps from 1 cent to IT cents less than this scale Two ply skein half less than this scale. Single skein 1 cent less than this scale. The following statement was made:
 "As manufacturers of cotton warns we profess to be in a position to advise our members to decline all orders which don't conform to the scale of prices set forth herein"
 This was signed by sixteen firms from North Carolina. It was stated that New England manufacturers would also adopt the new scale and that unless the prices could be obtained all the mills would close down.

BIG STRIKE ON
 IN CUBA'S CAPITAL
The Strikers Claim They Are
 Certain of Victory.
WANT ALL TO HELP THEM
The Various Laundry Establishments Are Shut Down, and the Dry Goods Stores Are Doing
 Rushing Business.

Havana, September 25.-In spite of the leaders, a general strike tomorrow seems inevitable. The only union that has not decided to join is the Gartmens nnioh, but it is expected that the eartmen will go with the rest. The strikers are confident of winning. They say they have withstood blockade of three months, and after that, there is nothing to fear.
 A manifesto has been issued by the gen eral committee calling upon all to help the movement The various laundry establish ments are closed, and it is impossible to get laundry work done--a very serious mat ter in Havana.
 It is not known how long the strikers can hold out. They say that even if they lose they will have struck a blow in the right direction. I he closing of the laun- dries is veritable godsend to the dry goods stores, as people are literally driven to buy extra linen.
 Senor Laooste, the mayor, is endeayoring to protect some of the laundries with view to keeping them in operation, but it is impossible to extend this protection to anything like an indefinite number.
 1t is probable that Havana tomorrow will be without bread, owing to the bakers strike,

MAZET COMMITTEE
 AFTER THE JUDGES
Investigators Probe Into Affairs
 of the Judiciary.
PATTERSON ON THE STAND
Paid Several Thousand Dollars Into Election Fund-Sees No Harm in Contributing Small Sums Bat
 Particular as to Amount

New York, September 25.-Today was Judges day" at the Mazet legislative in- vestigation committee. A number of the judges of the city were called for the pur- pose of ascertaining the opinions of the different members of the judiciary as to the adyisability of the passage of a strin- gent law prohibiting the paying of election expenses by the candidates for judicial offices.
 This action was taken, Chairman Mazet explained. at the request of the City club, the Chamber of Commerce and other bodies of similar character.
 Justice Edward Patterson, of the appel late division of the supreme court, was the first witness of the day. He testified that he paid several thousand dollars, he could not remember how much. He thought that political parties needed money for legiti- mate expenses, but that 1t would be great relief and a wholesome thing if contribu- tions were not allowed. Justice Glider sleeves election eNpensese were $40O0. He opposed the payment of large sums, but did not object to reasonable expenses be- ing paid by judicial candidates. Justice Giegerch paid Tammany Hall 5000. He did not see why judicial candidates ought to be exempt as long as political parties needed money. Justice Scots expenses were $9,955.
 He thought it would be an advantage to the public if all candidates, judicial in- cluded, could be relieved from election ex- penses. Justice Bischoff paid Tammany $10000. He thought judicial candidates should not be exempt. Justice Dugro said he paid $10,000. He thought a law doing away with contributions would be a, good thing. Justice Fitzgerald paid 8 900. He favored law forbidding contributions by judicial candidates. Justice Beach paid Richard Croker $5,062. He knew of no req son why a judicial candidate should be re- Heved of the payment of legitimate elec- tion expenses. Justice Henry c. Beekman paid $i700. He favored exemption for jul dicial candidates Justice TruaX said he paid over $1,50O. He could see no harm in the payment of small sums. Justice Charles Maclean said that no suggestion had ever been made to him to pay a cam paign contribution. He had no opinion as to whether it would be a good thing to abolish the system of assessing candidates for the bench.
 The committee adjourned until tomorrow.

MOUNTAIN OF RICH
 ORE NEAR BESSEMER
Remarkable Deposit of Red Hematite Re- gently Discovered and Opened Up Four
 Miles from the Marvel City.

A lost or detached mountain of soft red hematite steel-making iron ore has been opened up by T. R. Collins four miles from Bessemer and a quarter of a mile from main line of railroad. The ore has been carefully analysed by an expert. and his signed report shows the ore to have a per centage of 40 to 50 1-1O steel-produeing iron, which makes it one cf the most valuable ore deposits in the mineral region of Ala bama.
 This rich mountain is not a part of the Red mountain range; it is what is called a lost mountain. standing apart to it. self. It's ore is greatly superior to that of Red mountain. and the high percentage demonstrated by the analyst is proof that it is one of the richest mines yet opened up in the southern iron country.
 This important discovery by MT. Collins has three-fold advantage. The ore Is the highest grade hereabouts; it is deposited in a way that is most easily accessible, and no machinery will be required in the min ing of the ore.
 MT. Collins has driven tunnel 125 feet long into the side of the mountain, and thus laid open to view and profitable work ing what is in fact great mine of wealth. The mine has never been worked it has been simply opened by MT. Collins indi vidual enterprise. Curiously enough, the existence of this immense ore deposit at the very door of Birmingham has remained practically unknown. MT. Collins, who is one of the strong representatives of the great spirit of development in Birmingham and the district, is discoverer, inasmuch as he has brought to light source of splendid wealth, with which even the ex- pert buyers of ore lands were unacquaint- ed. The discovery is a very important one, in view of the great and ever-increasing demand on the part of investors for min eral lands in the Birmingham district Most of such lands have been already sold, and are therefore not on the real estate market.
 Mir. Collins has decided to dispose of the splendid property which he has opened up

1.-THE PLAY@


 Al. G. Fields was the first minstrel or ganization to come to Birmingham this season. Every one was minstrel hungry, and there was a good house, both matinee and night. The new first part is very pret- ty, and is a triumph in the art of stage setting. MT. Fields has much the best show he has ever had With him are Tom my Donnelly. Doc Qugley and Reese Prosser. all old favortes. The Faust fam fly of acrobats still do a wonderful turn, and there are number of other novelties.
 On Thursday night Geo. ". Monroe will be seen for the first time in this city in his new play. Mrs. B. OShunghnessey." The title indicates that the play is another one of the Bridget class that has so long been connected with the name of Geo. Monroe. It is nothing more or less than an endeavor to create laughter The sale of seats will commence this morning.
 On next Friday night at OBrien's opera house, Mir. Sydney Rosenfeld's "rhe Ptr-. pie Lady" will appear here. It is said to be very funny. and has many original sit uations that are also of a laughable order, and is interpreted by cast of carefully selected artislts. The story concerns Peggy lfOudlOOt, the purple lady, Paris model Eho sat for an American artist and who derived her sobriquet from the title given to the resulting picture because of the pe- tuliar tinge of the hair. The artist, who was for a time her lover and who dis missed her at last with curt note of fare- well, returns to America and becomes en- gagged to a young woman living with her parents near Boston. Peggy makes an un- expected appearance on the eve of the wed- ding, demanding of the artist ten thousand dollars a salve for her wounded affec- tions The artist, in despair, introduces her to the family as Mrs. Gilworthy, wife Of Professor Archibald Gilworthy, of Boston, the professor. a friend of the artist, having autographed that he should be unable to at tend the wedding owing to his wifes tooth- ache. But presently the professor arrives, In spite of his telegram, and, out of friend ship for the artist, reluctantly consents to assume the role of husband to the 'purpe 1ady." To make matters worse the real Mrs. Gilworthy arrives also, and she, too, is forced into the plot, pretending to be q domestic Who has come in answer to an advertisement. and in that capacity, on being employed, compelled to serve the guests while her Husband plays husband 10 another woman. Here. it will be seen, are the materials for screaming farce and well, 1t is said that Sydney Rosenfeld has handled them from his adaptation from the German. In spite of the temptations which the situations offer he has kept within the bounds of delicacy and yet has made no sacrifice of humor.
