JIM BROWN MUST
 HAVE WATERMELON
St. Clair County Negro Fast Spending the Price of His Con-
 fesslon.

Jim Brown. the St. Clair County negro who is in jail under sentence of death. pursues the even tenor of his way, ap- parently unconcerned as ito his approach ing doom.
 He has not asked to see a preacher, al- though Warden Berry has informed him that he will send for one whenever he wishes Nothing seems to worry Brown. He eats his three meals a day with a good appetite, and indulges every now and then in a side line of watermelon. In a small way he is a capitalist, having made s1.0 on the train coming from Ash yllle to Birmingham. This was made out of the reporters as a price for his con- fession of the crime. This money Is grad ual1y being "blown in' on watermelons.
 Besides eating and sleeping, Brown has nothing to do. He does not read, and he occupies a condemned cell where he sees no company. None of his own race have called to see him. Several white men have wanted to see him out of curiosity, but the warden does not allow them to see him.
 Brown is in solitary confinement, and all days look alike to him. It is doubtful If he takes much notice of the passing of time. He is to be hung on September 20.

It is also probable that Superintendent Waters will recommend the establish ment of two additional sub-stations, one to be locate on the South Highlands and the other in the western part of the city. A sub-station is to all intents and pur- poses the same as the main postoffice, except that 1t does not deliver mall. Stamps can be bought there and money orders and letters can be registered. The establishment of these additional sub stations will make three in Birmingham. one being now established at the corner of Second avenue and Twenty-f1rst street.
 Under this proposed system all mail for woodlawn, Avondale, Elyton and West End will pass through the Birmingham postoffice. and the residents of these towns will have two deliveries day.

NONE ARE FATALLY INJURED

-otvn- -
 Twelve employees of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company were burned at the Ensley Steel Mill yesterday about 12:30 o'clock by an explosion of a ladle filled with red hot slag. One man was seriously burned about the face and shoulders. but none of the injuries are necessarily fatal.

 George Burgess, bricklayer; seriously burned about the face, shoulders and body.
 Wyly Blackman, C. s. Davis, James Donelson. w. T. Epperson. w. T. Gould, J. J. Tapoley Robert Magnes. W. L. Mc- Cay, Sam Delaney, all white; Henry Lewis, Sam Jordan and Robert Thomas, colored-all slightly burned about the shoulders and lower limbs, but none se- riously injured.
 Were Eating Lunch.
 The men were sitting around clnder pit opposite furnace No. 1, eating their midday meal when the explosion oc- cured Some had barely opened their bas> kets when the shower of hot metal came so unexpectedly that none had time to run.
 The accident was caused by the moving of crane which carried 1adle of hot metal. A pot of slag was being loaded nearby at the time, and the moving of the crane was entirely unexpected The sudden jerk threw the metal into a small pit of water, and an explosion followed. The injured were removed to the Gun ningham Hospital. The wounds were In various places over the bodies of the men. The arm of one man was burned, mark left upon another's back. and q small place upon another's leg. Some were the size of hand, while others were smaller.

 George Burgess was the most seriously injured. He was badly burned on the left side of the face and shoulders. Rob- ert Thomas, negro, was painfully burn ed about the feet.
 No one was so seriously hurt that he could not go to his home when the wounds were dressed at the hospital The &C., count of the accident as told by a work man, follows:
 'The men were all sitting about the pit eating their dinners. I was at the far end of the building and my attention was attracted by the yells of the men as the metal exploded. I could see how the crane upon which the ladle containing the metal had turned I rushed to the assistance of the injured but all were able to run themselves My coat hanging nearby wa sbadlyl burned, but my valua- bles were saved.
 "The accident Is one that might happen at almost any time and was due In no wise to carelessness on the part of the men or the company
 Shortly after this accident George Don olson was hit on the head by a hammer. The injury was very painful and necessi- tated his removal to the hospital. He will recover.
 Dust Barn Burned.
 About S:30 o'clock the dust barn of the Birmingham Cement company at Ensley caught fire and was entirely consumed. The damage is very slight. The structure was of wood and burned rapidly.

MEMPHIS MAN PROTESTS.
Against Injustice of Western Jockey
Clubs Unfair Treatment of
the Smaller Tracks.

Memphis, Tenn, March ST. p. Hayes,
vice president of the Horse Owners and
Trainers Association, in an interview to-
night, scores the Western Jockey Club,
the new turf body, for what he terms
unfair treatment toward the smaller
tracks, composing the Western Turf Con-
gress. He says in part:
1.-THE Western Jockey Club, for no bet
ter reason than might makes right and
because they desired to monopolize the
entire racing game, have assumed to say
to these tracks that are not members of
their association, that they shall not race
unless they consent to accept
it's self-constituted authority. To
horsemen they have undertaken
to say, that, though having stake
entries made in good faith at these as
sociations where the same were members
of the only turf body existing in the West,
the Western Turf Congress, these horse
men shall not receive their horses in
these stakes and doing so wiz be outlaw
ed and prevented from filling their stake
engagements on any tracks over which
the Western Jockey Club rules
This is too patent and clear an infringe
ment of the rights of horsemen to be dis
regarded"
Mr.. Hayes expressed his intention Of
racing his horses at Nashville and Little
Rock and afterwards filling their engage
ments at all other tracks, whether mem
bers of the Western Jockey Club or other
wise.

OFFICERS FROM THE RANKS.
Not Debnrred From Privileges En-
Joyed by others, Says Long, hut
Distinctions Exist.

Washington, March S.-The Secretary of
the Navy to-day, in response to a Sem
ate resolution of inquiry, says:
Commissioned officers in the naval ser
vice promoted from the ranks are not de-
barred from privileges enjoyed by other
commissioned officers of the navy. but
they are not given the use of some uni
forms used by certain other commissioned
officers, just as the latter in one grade
or corps are not given the same uniform
as others of them in another grade or
corps. There is a distinction between the
insignia of office of officers promoted from
the ranks and of officers who have grad
uated from the Naval Academy, just as
there are distinctions in the insignia of
the latter officers, as, for instance, be-
tween a lieutenant and a evil engineer,
because such distinction is necessary to
indicate the grade of the service to which
these officers belong by reason of their
duties and their rank. The distinction
does not arise from the question of
whether the officer was promoted from
the ranks or is a graduate of the Naval
Academy"
