SLOPE WILL BE
 OPENED AT ONCE
Little Cahaba Coal Company Has Acquired Valuable Lands
 Near BIocton

The Little Cahaba Coal Company, referred to in the Age-Herald yesterday as having been granted charter by the probate judge of Jefferson County, has acquired a tract of coal land three miles east of Blocton, Bibb County, on which slope will be open ed at once. The incorporators of the com- pany are H. F. DeBardeleben, W. P. Pinck- ard, J. L.. Tanner and W. A. Jackson and the capital stock $5O,OOO.
 The land secured by this company was pur- chased from the Reynolds is of Montevallo who are now operating mine near Blocton. The Underwood seam of coal runs through the tract of land. The Louisville and Nash vile and Southern Railway will build spur tracks to the new mine, only a short dis tance being necessary to give each road a line to that place.
 It Is stated that the Little Cahaba Coal Company and the Reynolds and managed by Jesse w. Wadsworth, will consolidate thus giving combined capital stock of s10O,00O and daily output of coal of 2500 tons. The openings of the two companies will be less than mile part. The two companies control about three thousand acres of coal lands near Blocton.

FELL INTO A POOL
 OF BOILING WATER Horrible Death of Arthur E.
 Osborne at EnsIey ENGINEER AT THE ROD MILL Lived for Twelve Hours in Terrible Agony-Almost Cooked From Head to Foot-Family Resides at
 WoodIaWn.
ENGINEER AT THE ROD MILL

Arthur E. Osborne, an engineer at the Ensley rod mills, fell into a pool of boil ing water yesterday and after suffering in- tense pain for twelve hours died at the Rod Mill Hotel.
 It seems that the pool of hot water. which is usually covered, had been left open and MT. Osborne, while walking around his engine, stepped over the edge and fell, and was horribly scalded from his neck to the bottom of his feet. Physi- clans did everything in their power to save the young mans life, and 1t was thought at one time that they had succeeded but the patient had turn for the worse about o'clock and passed away in great agony.
 MT. Osborne's mother and sisters reside at Woodlawn and as he was the only on and brother their affliction is great
 The unfortunate young man had recently come to Birmingham from North Carolina, though his sisters, Misses Henrietta and Nellie Osborne, are quite well known and popular here.
 The funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

GRADE CROSSING
 HORROR AVERTED Goodness of Motorman Prevented
 A FrightfuI Accident
AT 20TH STREET AND AVE. E
1t Is Said That Freight Train Without Headlight Crossed Track Without Stoppng-Brakes on Street
 Car Wouldn't Work.

Another grade crossing horror was nar- rowly averted yesterday evening A South Highland car going south was struck by a train on the Belt road, where their tracks cross those of the street railway at Ave- nue E and Twentieth street
 The accident happened at 6 o'clock. The car was crowded with passengers, among them being Richard Johnson, John Lam don, Gen. Fred Ferguson, Capt w. C.. Ward, Mrs v. L. Wyman and Mrs. John Enslen. Fortunately no one was hurt so far as could be learned q
 An Age-Herald reporter reached the scene of the accident a few seconds after it occurred. The front end of the street car was mass of wreckage and the Belt railway train was standing uninjured about twenty-five yards away. The street car was knocked around almost at right angle with the track. The was No 51 and in charge of Conductor T. w. Wood and Motorman T. M. Blackman. The Belt rail- road engine was No. and in charge of Engineer John Supua. When seen by the reporter it had no headlights at either end although 1t was quite dark.
 This engine was backing westwards pre- ceding by several fiat cars. It Is said that the train did not stop before crossing Twentieth street, as required by law. The motorman of the street car, however, saw it coming and endeavored to stop his car The brakes failed to work and he reversed his current, but did not succeed in stop ping his car in time to avoid a collision, but in time to avoid a frightful accident Had the car gone five feet further it would have been ground to splnters and many persons killed, for the freight train was moving at such speed that it was not stopped until the engine and cars had gone about twenty-five yards beyond the street railway tracks
 Quite. a commotion was caused at one time by the attempt of one of the passen- gers on the street car to arrest the en- gineer of the freight train Putting his hand on the mans shoulder he exclaimed: T arrest you by virtue of my rights as a citizen.' This did not "cut any ice" with the engineer, who squared off and prepared to do battle. The fireman came to his as- sistance and for a time things looked squally. Finally bystanders interfered and prevented trouble.

CRUSADE AGAINST
 CIGARETTE HABIT
Howard College Faculty Appeal
 10 Teachers of the State
ISSUE A CIRCULAR LE1TER
Ask That the Legislature Be Urgeo to Pass the Anti-Cigarette Bill. The Effect on the
 Student.

A circular letter signed by the faculty of Howard College has been issued to the teachers and others interested in the young men of the State asking their cooperation in support of the anti-cigarette bill now pending in the upper house of the Legis- lature.
 A copy of the letter has been addressed to every school and county and city su- perintendent in the State, and it is prob able that an organized fight will grow out of the movement.
 President Roof of Howard College Is also president of the Alabama Educational As- sociation, and while he does not sign the letter in the latter capacity, the fact that will have much weight. The circular is as follows:
 Howard College, January "A, 1901. To Our Fellow Teachers and Others Inter- ested in the Boys and Young Men of Alabama:
 It is probably known to you that the "anti-cigarette bill," passed by the lower house of the General Assembly of Alabama before adjournment for vacation did not pass the Senate, but is yet in the hands of the committee to whom it was referred. It Is understood also that certain cigar cite and cigar manufacturers outside of Alabama are making strong fight to kill the bill.
 We are convinced that the evils of cigar cite smoking are too well understood to ad- init of argument here. Every observant teacher, from the primary school to the college, knows that 1t weakens the body, dulls the intellect, destroys the will power and corrupts the morals. Parents look with horror upon this pernicious habit which Is destroying their boys, but, too often, are unable to stop it.
 We believe that large majority of cur people favor the 'anti-cigarette bill'' as the only thing in sight that will eliminate this primary school for the training of smokers. We also believe that the Senate will pass the bill if convinced that the people want 1t.
 We trust, therefore, that you will not con- slider us presumptuous in suggesting that you use every honest effort to secure the cooperation of the teachers and parents of your community, and, through them and your own efforts, by means of petitions, let ters and the press present to our Senators the crying need of such a law for the pro- lection of our boys.
 Time is pressing the Senate will convene in a few days, and what Is done must be done quickly.
 Fraternally yours,
 F. M. Roof, President,
 E. H. Foster,
 Edward Brand,

COL. A. M. SHOOK NO
 LONGER AN OFFICER
Second ViCe-PreSident of Ten-
 nessee Company Abolished
HAS NO CRITICISM TO MAKE
Action Taken at Meeting of Directors In New York-He Has Been Lead ing Spirit in Development of
 Birmingham District.

Col. A. NJ Shook is no longer an officer Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Com pany, the office of second vice-president which he had held for several years having been abolished at a meeting of the direc- tors in New York last Monday.
 The abolition of this office and the drop ping of Colonel Shook from the official family of the company was quite a surprise to the people of Birmingham, that action not having been anticipated From the time MT. Bacon was selected chairman of the board of directors and given full control of the affairs of the company it has been gen. orally believed in industrial circles that sev- eral changes among the officials of the con- pany would be made but they were not ex- pected to occur before the annual meeting which will be held in Tracy City about the middle of February.
 Colonel Shook spends the greater part of the time in Birmingham and has had gen. eral charge of the steel mill at Ensley since it's construction began two years ago. He was largely instrumental in the building of this great industrial plant and had given it the best part of his time and ability ever since the plan for it's building was adopted.
 
 stated that he had been dropped from the companys official list by the abolition of the office of second vce-president, a posi- ton he had held for a number of years He had no comments to make on the action of the executive committee.
 The retirement of Colonel Shook from his official capacity with the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company does not mean that he will spend less of his time in Bir- mingham. He has other large interests in the city and district to which he will de- vote much of his time in the future. He has been a strong factor in the development of the Birmingham district and is one of the ablest of the many men that have given their time and capital to the upbuilding of industrial Birmingham. By his energy and keen foresight he has acquired a fortune of considerable proportions upon which he can retire if he should so desire
 It is stated that other official changes will occur in the Tennessee Company soon, prob ably just before or soon after the annual meeting of the stockholders next month. Just what these changes will be is not known at present and will not be known to the public until they take place.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Watches the Effect of Proper Feeding.

"I have an excellent opportunity to know of the effect of food in sickness, for my husband is practicing physician and has been recommending Grape-Nuts food for some time. I have watched the result, and have never known case where 1t has not given satisfaction.
 "One instance will perhaps suffice to illus trate: A professor in the high school here was in very pool health from stomach trou- ble. He finally got into such condition that he could not eat any food whatever without suffering, and was so reduced in strength that he could hardly walk. He was put on Grape-Nuts food and gained rapidly and Is now in good health. His cure was effected by the use of Grape-Nuts food" Mrs. Dr. Lyman, Croton, O.
