VACANCY IN
 THE SECOND WARD Alderman Ward Becomes a
 Bank Cashier. HAS GONE TO SHEFFIELD Where Alabama Trust and Banking Com- pany Will be Thrown Open for
 Business Today-Organized 
1 HAS GONE TO SHEFFIELD

It is likely that before another meeting of the board of aldermen there will be a vacancy in the Second ward delegation caused by the removal of Alderman George Ward from the city.
 Mr. Ward has for a long time been re- ceiving teller of the First National bank and left yesterday morning for Sheffield where the new bank started by Birming7 ham capital will be thrown open for busi7 ness this morning.
 Alderman Ward was made a member of the city council at the last municipal elec7 ton, succeeding John Parker, who is now a police commissioner There was quite a spirited contest in the ward and Mir. Ward won over a number of candidates.
 It was said last night that County Au- ditor A. J. Camp would be candidate for Alderman Wards place. It Is pointed out that MT. Camps duties as alderman would not interfere with his other office. as the former is not one of profit.
 isr. Ward A4hler
 MT. Ward will be cashier of the newly organized Alabama Trust and Banking company at Sheffield. The other officers of the bank are G. B. Mccormack, president; J. J. Gray, Jr., vice-president; Nat Bax ter, Jr., Colonel A. M. Shook, Walker Percy, Erskine Ramsay, G. B. Mccormack. H. L. Badham and J. J. Gray, Jr.. di- rectors : .zl
 MT. Ward took with him $50,00O in cash. and Sheffield will have in operation this morning the strongest bank known in her history. The men back of this new com- pany are sufficient guarantee of it's solidity and financial ability to control the banking business of that section.
 George B. Ward is one of the best known young business men of this city, and was recently elected alderman in a hotly con- tested ward.

ARCHITECT BUCHANAN
Talks of Architecture and Birmingham
 Buildings

Albert Buchman, one of the best-known architects in New York city, who came to Birmingham with President D. J. McCombs of the Ensley Land company, Tuesday, re- turned north yesterday afternoon. As stated in yesterdays Age-Herald, MT. Buchman came to formulate plans for large number of residences and business houses which the Ensley Land company proposes erecting.
 In discussing the prospects yesterday MT Buchanan said that the architecture and buildings of Birmingham Were not good as a whole, though there are a number of very prominent exceptions. He said that In Birmingham, as Is t'he case with all towns that are built up with boom, most of the houses showed their hasty and not too expensive method of construction.
 Among the new houses, however, he said i, there was a notable change for the better. They are being built more substantially and more money Is being invested in tncm.i
 The Birmingham people seemed to be coming to a realization that they some times have cold weather and are making their houses warm and comfortabi
 R. Y. Woolly, the representative of the New York World, who also accompanied MT. McCombs, will return this afternoon.

WOMAN IN MALE ATTIRE
Shot and Killed by Night Watchman at
 Ishkoooa-

Ishkooda. the scene of the recent labor troubles among the negro ore miners, fur nishes another sensational story which reached the city yesterday.
 On Tuesday night Perry Watson, a deputy constable who was employed as a night watchman by the Robinson Mining company. was attacked by two negroes who sprang upon him from ambush evil dently for the purpose of robbery. Watson immediately drew his pistol and one of his assailants turned and fled. The other showed fight. however, and grabbed for the gun which was discharged about the same time by Watson, who took deliberate aim. The negro fell to the ground corpse. the ball having passed through the neck, sev- ering the spinal cord.
 On investigation 1t was found that the dead negro was not a man, but a negro woman dressed in mems clothes.
 The identity of the woman could not be established, but she Is thought to be one of a number of women who followed the negroes from Georgia who took the strik- CTS places
 The matter was reported to Coroner Dal- las, who, after hearing the circumstances, deemed an inquest unnecessary.
 Watson admits the killing and claims to have acted in self-defense. No arrests have been made.

W. H. Messenger, southern manager of the Republic Steel and Iron Company, and formerly president of the Alabama. Rolling Mill, said yesterday afternoon that all thu trouble among the operatives of the Gate City mill had been settled, and the men had gone back to work.
 He said that the trouble had been entirely among the men themselves, because one of the boss puddlers had employed a man un- der him who was not experienced. This caused row, and as the company refused to take any part in it, the men struck for a day or Yesterday. however, the men had patched up all of their differences, had gone back to work, and the mill was again n operation.

BOARD OF TRADE
 DID NOT MEET
A Quorum Did Not Materiaiize-President Chaiifoux Induced a New Indus
 try to Come Here

There was no meeting of the Board Of Trade last night, due to combination of circumstances, principal among which was the fact that many of the active members of the organization were absent from the city.
 A few of the faithful, however, assembled in Elks' hall, which was not opened until late but a quorum did not materialze, which was in a measure attributed to the fact that many members were under the impression that the meeting was not until next Wednesday night, there being five Wednesdays in this month.
 In view of these facts Vice President Sin nige announced that the meeting would be held on next Wednesday night, when full attendance will be secured.
 The board of control held it's regular meeting in the office of Secretary Ryan at 3:S0 o'clock yesterday afternoon and trans- acted such businese as came before 1t.
 Several new members were elected and number of applications referred.
 G. Rothalz, of the merchant tailors, was elected a member. of the board of control to succeed Cal D. Brooks, resigned.
 President Oliver Chalifoux, who has just returned from an extended trip. reported that he had induced certain parties in Chi cago to locate a sash. door and blind fac tory In this city. and that the machinery had already been purchased.
 The company will invest about s20,OOO to begin with. and will not ask dollar sub- scription from the citizens of Birmingham. Several sites are now being considered, and selection will be made in the next few days. The parties have large capital, and if the business succeeds the factory will be enlarged.
 After disposing of routine matters the board adjourned.

Dfay Vas Knocked Into KindlinS Wood
 By Wild Cars. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH Had By Eli Tucker, the Negro Driver. CARS CAUGHT THE HORSE City Council Passed Resolution Asking Police Commission to Look After En- forcement of Ordinance Govern
 ing Switching on Crossings.
HORSE

A terrible accident was narrowly averted at the dangerous crossing at Twentieth street and the railroads yesterday after noon.
 Several freight cars, which were being switched about by the Louisville and Nash vile railroad, became detached from the engine switching them, and came at fair rate of speed from Twenty-first street to- ward Twentieth. This was at 6:15 o'clock. when the crossing was crowded with ve- hicles and pedestrians.
 In some way the public dray of Ell Tuck CT got stuck on the track directly in front of the approaching cars. The driver jump ed off his seat, and seizing hold of the anil malls bit, was endeavoring to pull him for ward when the cars struck the wagon. The vehicle was demolished into kindling wood, and the horse, unable to eXtricate himself from the harness, was drawn under the cars. There it lay before the eyes of the mortified spectators directly between the track, as the cars passed over it. Three cars had passed, when, to the crowds s amazement, the animal wriggled from un- derneath car, scrambled to it's feet. jump ed over pile of cobbe stones where some
 
 gan running.
 Miraculous Escape : It was a miraculous escape, for besides being bruised and scraped in several places, it seemed to be uninjured The unlucky driver led his horse on off toward his sta- ble, while his friends gathered up the kind ling wood that had once formed his dray. Tucker claims that the fagman waved the white flag indicating that the way was clear, and just as he arrived at the tracks the flagman saw the approaching cars, and waved a red flag. It was then too late, Tucker said, to stop, and he tried to pull his horse across the track, but was un- successful.
 EIasman Says He Gave Warming 9 On the other hand F'lagman Pardue who had charge of the Louisville and Nashville crossing, said that he gave ample warn ing with his red flag, of the approaching cars. and that Tucker could have stopped as all the other vehicles did. He claims, however, that Tucker tried to drive in front of them, and that when his horse got half way across, it baked, and, of course, the train ran over it. He says that the horse in question is a notorious baker, and that Tucker is inclined to be reckless in driving him across the tracks.
 MT. Pardue says that the cars were not being kicked" across Twentieth street. He says that as the train, which was backing, neared Twentieth street. one of the couplings broke, and the cars could not be stopped. Still there was ample time, he claims, for everybody to get out of the way.
