BACK SHOP DUES"
1.-THE movement to abolish the system
known to the tailor as 'back-shop dues
has been in evidence for some time" says
Secretary Jensen, of the chica go Jour
neymen Tailors, land we will keep up the
agitation until we do away with it alto
gether, and have tailoring establishments
supply their workmen with decent and
healthy workrooms, free of cost. 1t Is
not generally understood by the public
what the tailors' contention is. Almost
every merchant tailor has system lii
vogue Of charging workmen for the priv
ilege Of quarters in connection with the
establishment usually in the rear of the
| store; hence the term 'back-shop dues.
The sum charged Is usually 90 cents a
week, and the tailor has stood the as
sessment so long that many looked on 1t

! of past years the journeymen, being anX-

any exaction. This has now gone by.

TWO ACCIDENTS ON THE
ENSLEY ELECTRIC LINE
First Occurred at 900 and Second at 6:2O
O'clock-Passengers Shaken Up
Mrs. Bottrell Hurt.

Two accidents occurred on the Ensley
line of the Birmingham Railway and Elec-
trio company yesterday afternoon, neither
of which resulted in any very serious con-
sequences as far as could be learned.
The first accident occurred just beyond
Liberty park, two of the heavy motor cars
tempt on the part of one of the crews to
make the next siding. Both cars were run
ming at high rate of speed just before
they came together, but fortunately
stretch in the track enabled the motormen
to note the approach of the cars and the
brakes were applied in time to prevent
more disastrous collision.
The passengers were considerably shaken
up, but mono of them were seriously in
jured. One of the cars was considerably
damaged and was taken to the next sid
ing where it was to have been repaired.
The second accident occurred about $40
O'Clock, when an outgoing car ran into
the siding and struck the disabled car
giving the passengers a severe shaking
mp. The glass partition between the white
and colored apartments was shattered and
Mrs. Bcttrell, of Pratt City. was severely
cut on the face, and several other passen-
gers slightly injured
Mrs. Bottrell was taken to her home in

HUGHES WILL GO

Wants Increased Appropriation

HAS A STRONG ARGUMENT
Will Present Report Showing That
While Receipts Have Nearly Dou-
bled Since 1894, Expenditures
Have Remained the Same

Postmaster J. w. Hughes will go to
Washington in day or two and present
to the department the needs of the Birm-
ingham office for am increased force. The
Birmingham office has no larger force
row than it had five or six years ago, not
witnstandng tho business has nearly dou-
bled and free deliveries are made more fire.
quently in all parts of the city.
DIR. Hughes will urge the postmaster
general to allow him additional help, but
he has little hope of success on account OF
the appropriation for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1900, having already been ex-
pended.
The figures which he will present are
interesting in the extreme, and show that
the receipts of the Birmingham Office have
kept pace with the Industrial and CONNER
cial improvement of the district, and that
the expenses are less.
Mr. Hughes has prepared the report with
much care, which is as follows:
Gross receipts for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1894, $53,O7691.
Allowance for clerks for same period,
$11 ,9O564
Allowance for delivery of mail. $14120.11.
Gross receipts for the fiscal year ending

Allowance for clerks, $10,S66.42.

Gross receipts for the fiscal half of pres

Allowance for clerks, $6119.S4.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
OF A LAMP TRIMMER
Rescued from Perilous Position at the
Northside Market House-Rc-
ceived Severe Shock

Jim Harris, colored, a lamp trimmer in
the employ of the Consolidated Electric
Light company, met with an experience
late yesterday afternoon that he will not
soon forget. Harris was engaged in chang
ing lamp in the Northslde market house.
and had failed to cut off The current at
the house switch, as is usual. In handling
the wires he completed the circuit and re-
ceived severe shock which CAUSED him
to fall, but fortunately his foot caught
in rafter, leaving him dangling in the
air.
AS he swung to and fro the wires, which
had become tangled around his body, were
brought in contact and with every sway
ing motion frightful flash of light was
emitted, presenting a scene strongly sug-
gestive of the spectacular.
The accident was witnessed by several
persons, and several of the city fremen
and Mounted officer Mcknight of the po-
lice department were summoned and soon
rescued the negro from his perilous posi-
ton. Harris was dazzed from the shock
and was evidently burned in several places,
especially on his hands. He was attended
by City Physician Wheelan, and In short
time was able to go home.
It Is estimated that 1000 volts passed
through the Negroes body and the wonder
Is that he was not electrocuted

ANOTHER MEETING

This A ternoon

The baseball meeting at the Commercial
club rooms at o'clock this afternoon gives
promise Of being largely attended. A num-
Der of gentlemen in this city who are en-
thusiastic over the game have signified
their willingness to subscribe for stock.
Letters received from other cities are of
a most encouraging nature. The Montgom-
cry papers have taken the matter up and
the Journal says Montgomery will most
likely be n Dresented in the league.
1t is probable that fully half of the pro-
posed capital stock of $1,000 will have been
subscribed by the time the meeting is called
to order this afternoon.

DECREE IN THE
SANDIFER CASE
Chancellor Carmichael Sustained
Some Of city's Demurrers.
THE VALLEY CREEK OUTLET
Surface Water Sewerage Can be Emp
tied Into the Stream Complaint
Given Twenty Days in
Which to Amend Bill

Chancellor Carmichael yesterday rendered
decree in the case of James L. Sandfer VS.
the Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham,
in which the demurrer to a portion of the
complaint is sustained and the complainant
is given twenty days in which to amend
same.
Mr.. Sandifer resides near Valley creek,
few miles west of Birmingham, and some
court seeking to enjoin the city authorities
from concentrating the waters of the creek
by emptying the city Sewerage into it. The
bill was a lengthy one and set forth the
following allegations:
That the sewer emptied into Valley creek
and that complainant, lower riparian own
er, is damaged in common with the public
by foul and unwholesome doors emitted by
the sewer.
That the sewerage overflows and lis de-
posted on his land
That water is SO corrupted as to me unfit
for domestic use and for animals.
That it increases the volume of water in
Valley creek and causes frequent over
flows.
The complainant prayed the count to per-
petually enjoin the city of Birmingham
from emptying Its sewerage into Valley
creek.
The Decree
Chancellor Carmichael's decree Is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE court is of the opinion that the
ground of demurrer to much of the bill
as seeks to restrain respondent from caus-
ing surface waters to be emptied into VAL
ley creek is we'll TAKEN and that all other
grounds of the demurrer are not well taken.
1t is therefore ordered, adjudged and de-
creed that to so much of the bill seeks
relief to restrain respondent from causing
or allowing the surface water to be emptied
into Valley creek are and the same is here
by sustained and allowed.
ut is further ordered, adjudged and de-
creed that unless the bill be amended With
in twenty days for which leave is hereby
given to complainant to meet this decree,
that so much of the amended bill as to
which the demurrer is sustained, shall
stand discontinued.
ut is further ordered, adjudged and de-
creed THAT said demurrer and all other
grounds thereof except that herein sus-
tanned, be and the same are hereby over
ruled. The court will make an order fix
ing the time within which respondent shall
be- required to answer, after the expiration
of the twenty days, when the complain
ant shall have amended his bill, if he does
amend the same.

INTERESTS PROPERTY HOLDERS
Maine Fire Risks Affected by Changes
In Insurance Rules

At recent meeting Of the New
England Insurance Exchange several
matters were taken up that Will great
~ interest Maine people. since much
of that particular part of the business
related 10 Maine property:
a number of recommendations were
submitted 70 the exchange by the ex-
ccutive committee for action Briefly
summarized. they were as follows:
That rates on hazards outside of fire
protection be advanced. tina; rates on
summer dwellings, be advanced. that
mechanics permits for repairs must
exclude the use of benzinr. naphtha
torches. etc. and the same in ordinary
repair: that the : per cent. exemption
clause cannot apply where 4 policy
covers more than one building under
a blanket form. and that on iireproof
buildings in Maine a larger allowance
Tor cu-insuranct than is allowed on
other classes in the State shall apply.
After some discussion it WAS decided
70 lay over all the recommendations in
order to secure the cooperation Of the
board Of fire underwriters. with the eX-
Ccption OF those affecting summer
properties ard the allowance for CO.
insurance On fire proof buildings in
Maine.
These two important matters We're
fully discussed in all their bearings
after which the exchange voted To pass
the recommendation submitted. III

purtenant, If written with dwelling.
with contents, will be on the basis Of
80 cents per arnum per 800. with

property remain unoccupied for por-
ton of each Year without extra charge.
IT, however. the policies contain a
guaranty that he premises shall remain
unoccupied for q portion Of each year
without extra charge. IT, however. the
policies contain q guaranty that the
premises shall remain in charge OF

will be on the basis Of IS cents for
building and contents per annum. with
a rate Of 81 on barns and stables when
insured separately from dwelling. The
minimum rate at the present time is
10 cents.
This advance on summer property
has been anticipated for some time,
inasmuCh as the average summer home
is usually as far away from fire pro-
lection az possible, the rates should be
increased.

to fire proof buildings in Maine. was
unanimously carried and III future 10

powered 10 rate at their discretion so
