NEGRO ALLEGED ID HAVE PLANNED
 WRECK AT LEEDS Will Morgan Bound Over to Grand Jury by Justice
 Martin PULLED TIM BERS APART Several Witnesses Testify That the Negro Was Discharged Employe and Caused the Catastrophe
 Through Pique.
PULLED TIMERS APART

Will Morgan, a negro about twenty two years old, was bound over without bail yesterday by Justice of the Peace Martin on a charge of having caused the wreck at the Leeds trestle on the Central railroad october 18th. in which two lives were lost and several persons injured.
 Leeds Is a small station twenty miles from Birmingham. While a freight train was crossing a trestle the latter gave way and 1t was supposed at the time that the accident was caused by some defect in the construction. If the evidence given yesterday is correct the wreck was deliberately planned by a discharged em- ployee who wrenched the timbers apart with a jack screw.
 The first witness at the hearing was B. w. Cosper, bridge foreman of the had been working under him and on the evening before the accident he had had occasion to curse him. whereupon the negro left without calling for his time which was about two and three-quarter days.
 l.. A. Grogan was the next witness He is a deputy sheriff at Goodwater. He testified that he arrested Martin at Wildwood, place fourteen miles from Hollins, on November 18th. He said that Martin when arrested stated that hc saw 1t done" by a negro nam ed Sterrett who applied a jack to one of the sid, supports of the trestle and pushed it out Oscar Franklin was the third witnes. and testified that he was present and heard Morgan make this statement
 The negro was then questioned and ad- mitted that he had made this statement to the officer when arrested but stated that he did so because he was scared
 He made many contradictory state- ments. Asked by Solicitor Charles W. Ferguson who was representing the state, why he did so, he replied: Well. yo see Boss. I dunno much" Asked why he left without calling for his pay he replied:
 T just left"
 Continuing he said that he went to Hol- lin the night of the accident and stayed out in the woods all night. He denied having anything to do with the breaking down of the trestle.
 When arrested,'S asked Ferguson, didn't you tell the officer you had been looking for him for some time?'
 IT don't remember"
 Didn't you tell colored man near sterrett's the next day that there had been a wreck, and that if he went to Leeds he would see the d-dest wreck he had ever seen."
 NO sah."
 Justice Martin concluded that the evi- dence was sufficient to bind the defend. ant over. The negro was not represented by counsel.

Alderman Heidt Tells Board Beech Street Sewers
 are Defective
NO CEMENT UNDER JOINTS
Alderman Wheeler Announces That Proprietor of Saloon Corner First Avenue and Eighth Street
 Has Agreed to Move.

Alderman Heidt created a slight sensa- men last night by making statement that defective sewers had been laid by contractors working in the city. and by making a motion that a committee be ap- pointed to investigate the matter
 All the routine work of the board had been completed and the Mayor had an- nounced motion to adjourn was in order When Alderman Heidt arose and made his statement
 My attention was called to the laying of defective sewers" said he, some months ago. At that time I investigated the matter and found that sewers laid on Beech street were defective. l dug them up within two weeks after they were laid and found that such was the case.
 The trouble was that in laying the sewers no cement was put under the joints. Cement was put on the top part, but none was placed underneath. As a result of this the sewers leaked at the joints.
 An investigation of the sewers laid some years ago in Highland avenue re- suited in the same discovery. I therefore make motion that the police and sani- tation committee investigate the eewer- age work throughout the city and make a report to the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen
 This motion was unanimously passed.
 Saloon Will Move.
 The question of the fight against the Powell saloon, situated at Eighth street and First avenue, was brought up in a statement from Alderman Wheeler to the effect that the saloon would be moved but that MT. Powell asked permission to remain at the present stand until new house could be built at First avenue and Thirteenth street.
 On motion of Alderman Moore the ques- ton was referred to the miscellaneous committee for settlement.
 A petition from MT. Kirkland, assistant meat and milk inspector, for an increase in salary, was referred to the finance committee.
 A resolution requesting the engineer to have the curb line of the sidewalk on Avenue .F from Twenty first to Twenty second streets, made 15 feet wider was passed. Consideration of ordinances Nos. 95 and 1O1 was passed until next meeting by request.
 Ordinances Confirmed. Ordinance 103, providing for curbing and sewers on Arlington avenue, from High land avenue to Maiden Lane, was con frmed. Ordinance 109, providing for curb ing and laying of gutters on Seventeenth street from Avenue H to l.; on Sixteenth street from Avenue to NJ on Fifteenth street from Avenue to M; on Four teenth street from Avenue D to K, and on Thirteenth street from Avenue F to J. was confirmed. Ordinance no, provid- | ing for grading, macademizing. laying | gutters and curbing on Twelfth street | from Avenue B to K, was confirmed. A petition asking for sanitary sewer on | Twelfth street from Florida street to | Belleview avenue was referred to the engineer. for the preparation of an or | dinance.
 An ordinance assessing property for i'm provements on Avenue D from | Eighteenth to Twentieth streets was | passed. December IS was named as the | day for the hearing of objections by the | council.

viii Burn Coal.

Two carloads of coal arrived here
this week for the Nevada Reduction
Works. There were something like
twenty-five tons in the two cars, and
the company proposes to use it in
the cyanide plant. A number OF
families around town contracted for
from one to four tons each of this
coal. Leete Blanchard is also con-
templating putting coal CRATES in
his lime kiln so as to burn coal in
stead of wood in making lime. The
experience of families here, who
have burned coal this Winter, has
been that ton of coal will go about
as far as two cords of nut-pine
wood. The wood costs SI2 per cord
delivered and cut ready tor stove
use, while the coal costs about $40
per ton delivered. 1t will be seen
that considerable saving can be
made by burning coal instead OF
wood. Coal will probably be used to
great extent here next Winter
and somebody could, no doubt, do a
good business by establishing coal
yard in the town.

Death of a Chinese leper.

All Wee, an old Chinaman who
has been rotting to death with lep-
rosy TOR years past, passed in his
checks the first of this week in the
little cabin he occupied in China
town. Some years ago it was dis
covered that this man had leprosy
and he was confined in a cabin on
the edge of the Chinese settlement,
near the river. Food was taken to
him daily by some one of his count
rymen, and he was never seen fur
Their away from his abode than a
few yards, nor did he mingle with
the other Cinnamon. His remains
were put into rough pine box and
buried on the hill near the Dayton
cemetery Tuesday. None of the
Chinese would handle the remains,
and they employed Piutes to attend
to that part of the burial. The Chi
namen contributed the money to pa y
the funeral expenses.

Disastrous Runaway.

Thursday afternoon about o'clock
the two-horses attached to a wagon
in which Adam Bay and his Swear
old daughter and two young men,
Sharpe and Lehigh, were riding, ran
away in Gold Hill. The horses and
wagon were overturned near To-
bener's saloon and fell over a four
foot embankment. Bay and Lehigh
escaped without injury, but Sharpe
and the little girl were not so tortu-
nate. Sharpe struck on his face,
knocking out his front teeth and re-
ceived several bad cuts. The young
girl was rendered unconscious and
received a wound in the head which
required FIVE stitches to close. She
also suffered other bruises, but raj
lied later and no serious results are
anticipated. The wagon was total
wreck and one of the horses had a
leg broken and had to be shot.-Ers-

VIII Sue Tunnel Company.

According to the San Francisco
Post the Board of Trustees of the
Occidental Mining Company, at a
meeting held Tuesday afternoon,
decided to sue the Comstock Tunnel
Company for damages in the sum of
$4,000 1t is claimed that the COM
pany has been injured to this extent
by the stoppage of work on the Zadig
drift, run in from the tunnel, and
the issue will now be raised by Deal,
Tauszky 4 Wells, attorneys for the
Occidental, as to the Comstock Com
pany's rights under it's charter to
hinder work in any of the Comstock
mines along it's course. Owing to
the stoppage of this drift it will be
impossible now to prospect the valu
able Brunswick lode properties of
the Chollar, Potosi, Con. Cal Virginia
and other Comstock companies with
out putting them to the extra ex-
pense of working through their old
shafts, involving vexatious delay, Is
well as an enormous outlay of
money, all of which will bear heavi-
ly on the shareholders.

ankle very severely, turning the
foot clear over. | tried number of

bic, and / could not walk. The
whole foot was double its natural
size and black in color. then tried
Trib. In few days l was entirely
well, and today the ankle is better
and stronger than the other. The
