COROHER'S JURY
 DLAMES TWO MEN Motorman and Engineer Blame
 worthy for Accident AT EAST BIRMINGHAM The Jury's Verdict Could Not Be &c., cured, But duryman Said That
 the Two Men Were Charged.
 ..rrests Probable.
AT EAST BIRMINGHAM

The coroners jury, under the direction of Acting Coroner II. B. Abernathy. conciud- ed it's Investigations of the street car col- yesterday afternoon. The verdict of the jury. while not made public, places the en- glneer of the Louisville and Nashville locomotive and the notorman of the street car equally blameworthy 1t is stat ed by member of the jury.
 The investigations have been held with some secrecy for the past two days, and it is stated that the testimony against the engineer and notorman. while con- flicting, is rather of an unhappy charac- ter. Tho verdict of the jury would not be given out at the office of Justice Aber- nathy yesterday afternoon. It is stated. however by a member of tie jury that blame for the accident was held against both companies.
 It was not stated last night that war rants would be issued for the engineer public until the verdict is announced. At the sheriff's office it was announced last night that no warrants had been given for service. nor had anyone been arrested on account of the accident
 At the police station the same informa- tion was given out. Though the members of the night force at each place stated that the result of the Investigation was placing both the engineer and motorman blameworthy; they stating that the official verdict would probably not be made pub lio until the men were either arersted or the result of the inquiry given the grand jury for action.
 Justice Abernathy could not be found last night, and an attempt to interview him on the subject gave no result.

 Opera Tomorrow Night.

The management of the Elite Opera Company has received so many requests for short reproduction of "Girofle- Girofia" that 1t has almost been forced to put the opera on tomorrow night There is no doubt but that the reproduction will be success, for, with fair showing from the weather, ''Girofie-Girofia" will hold its own with any of the comic operas
 It is bright. original and catchy, and the Elite Opera Company has already demon- strated it's ability to make success of 1t.

RICE.

General trade this spring has been
unusually susceptible to climatic and
outside speculative influences; rice no
exception. During the past week the
market has embraced every variety OF
phase like a pendulum, swinging from
active inquiry to slower conditions.
At the close, every prospect pleasing,
not only in the volume but vigor of de-
mand The injunction ship at once
was never more frequently used, indi-
eating a scarcity of rice CT broken as
sentiments also that the conSumptiVe
demand has already arrived, or about
to enlarge to it's normal and season :
able proportions While there are
fairly liberal stocks at this point the
increase of shopping" on the part Of
buyers plainly indicates shat duplicates
of former purchasers are not so easily
obtained.
Advices from the South indicate
steady movement on the Atlantic coast
with prices we'll sustained. In the
Southwest a larger inquiry has devel-
oped and to the surprise and also disap-
pointment of many, orders are being
turned down; not so much on account
of price as inability to furnish the re-
quired style. This applles more par.
ticularly to fair and fancy sorts, but
is in measure, also true of the medium
grades.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note steady to firm conditions at
the advance previously noted. The local
movement in the East (from Burmah
to India proper is larger than last year
and over two and one-half times great
CT than that of 1899.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 15.-The stock market
showed emphatic symptoms of relief late
today and recovered vigorously from its
early acute depression rising strongly over
last nights level and establishing sub
stantial net gains in the majority of stocks.
At one time during the day prices had
declined in a fairly sensational manner,
the losses from last nights level ex-
tending from three to ten points in large
number of important stocks. The level of
net gains at the highest is the more re-
markable considering the acute weakness
earlier In the day. They reached in Rock

COTTON.

New York, May 15.-There was not much
of a cotton market, speculatively, today.
Fluctuations barely reached ten points,
and for the most part operations were
of an evening up character and small at
that. The chief cause for the heSitancy
was conflicting crop news, though weak
ness in the stock market in an indirect
way helped to check operators. The open
ing was quiet with prices three to eight
points higher, following tolerably firm
cables from Liverpool and rumors that
no rain had fallen in the drought sections
of the West. Covering and some foreign
buying supported the market for a brief
period after the call, but before the first
hour had passed the market was weak
and declining steadily under selling for
both accounts from nearly all quarters.
The change in sentiment was largely the
result of heavy port receipts, better crop
accounts from the central belt, claims
that Neill had increased his crop esti-
mate $4,000 bales and reports that South
ern spot market were weakening under
heavy offerings BY midday prices were
off to a trife below last nights close
in the present crop options, and but
trifie net higher on the new crop months.
During the afternoon operations were very
small ana at most fluctuations were IN
significant. The estimate for tomorrow's
receipts pointed to no material reduction
in the movement, orders from outside in
terests were few and far between; in
fact the situation was quite destitute of
new features. On light covering prices
worked up a few points in the last five
minutes. The market closed steady with
prices four to six points higher.

ENTERTAINED CHAMPIONS.
The Yale Cup Occupied q Place of
 Honor Last Night.


 The lower rooms in the High school building presented an inviting appear ance last evening as on every side were neat decorations in honor of the banquet given by the senior class of the High school to the champion foot ball team. There were about 100 peo- ple present including the seniors, the football players, the coachers and the members of the faculty of the school. The festivities were held in two rooms. one of which dancing was indulged in to the inspiring strains of music fur nished by Maton's orchestra, while in the opposite room were number of tables where whist was played The refreshment table was made more in- yiting with the presence of large boE- quets of chrysanthemums and carna- lions, while s1l the center, occupying the place of honor. stood the Yale cup. Light refreshments were served durin,, the evening" The affair was a grand success. It was a joyous occasion and those present made merry until the clock in the tower of St Johns church was about to toll the midnight hour. The arrangement committee consisted of Robert Butler. Miles McNiff, Harry Granger and the Misses Bryan, Bergln, Sweeney and Benham.
