Thought to Be Jim Brown.

A negro thought to be Jim Brown. the man who assaulted Miss Dell Gar rett at Springville. ten days ago, and for whom posses searched the woods several days last week, was seen at Trussville last night and shot at, but made his escape. The negro was seen and fired upon by the foreman of a gang of railroad laborers. The man supposed to be Brown approached the party and was talking to some of the other negroes when one of them recog- nized him and reported the matter to the foreman who secured a shot gun as quickly as possible. As he ap- preached the suspected negro fled and lodged behind some cars. The fore man was afraid to shoot at once for fear of wounding some of his own men and this gave him chance to escape. The foreman hurried to Birmingham on hand car and commu- nicated his story to the sheriff at an early hour this morning. The officers made an effort to get some dogs, hut were unsuccessful and did not pursue the chase,

BOUND OVER
BLANCHE sNYER ALSO HELD TO
 GRAND JURY.
She Said That Levy Threatened to Kill Her and That He Also Was Determined to
 Slay Gravely.

Birmingham, May 17.-(Special.)- The preliminary trial of Louis O. Gravely. charged with the murder of I. s. Levy. was concluded tonight, and the defendant was held in $1o.oo0 bond to await action of the grand jucy. Blanche Snider was also bound over under $500 bond as an accessory before the fact.
 The preliminary trial of Louis O. Graveley and Blanche Snyder, charged with the murder of I. l.. Levy, was re- stunned today before Justice H. B. Abernathy. The killing occurred last Friday night at a house of ill-repute on Third Avenue. Graveley is a young recruiting officer of the United States army. Levy was a former livery sta- ble proprietor, and the Snyder woman, it is stated, had been his mistress for a long time, but they had been estranSed for two or three months prior to the killing. It seems that Graveley had visited the woman several times and on this account had aroused the jealousy and i'll will of Levy, so the witnesses testified. It is also averred that Levy had threatened Graveley's life. and Graveley set up the claim that he killed Levy in self-defense. Judge N. H. Hairston and John R. Smith, members of the Virginia bar, were in attendance at the trial in the interest of Graveley. whose father is a wealthy tobacco manufacturer at Danville, Va.
 The theory of the State was that Graveley had prepared himself to kill Levy when the latter came to the house in which the Snyder woman was an inmate, and that he had borrowed a pistol for that purpose, intending to get Levy out of the way. Several wit nesses testified that Levy had beaten the Snyder woman frequently, had been cruel to her and was insanely jealous of her. The State showed that Crave ley had secured the pistol with which he did the killing from another woman, but it failed to establish the fact that there was a conspiracy.
 Blanche Snyder in her testimony to- day swore that Levy had threatened to kill her if she had anything more to do with Graveley, and that he had also threatened to take the life of Graveley. She said that Levy had whipped her and said he would return later and kill her and her new lover. This fact was communicated to Graveley and he pre- pared himself. The woman swore that Levy had a pistol and knife when he was at the house the night before the killing. She denied that she had asked Graveley to kill Levy and asserted that she had nothing to do with the trag- edy.

Big Contract for Coal.

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail-
 road Company has made contract to
 supply the Mexican Central Railroad
 with l5O. 900 tons of Alabama Coal, de-
 livery to cover quite number of months. The contract was secured af- ter competition with coal concerns of Pennsylvania and the Alabama Coal Company got the contract on the bet ter showing made as to price, etc. The coal will be shipped from Birming- ham to Pensacola, and will go from that place to Tampico by steamer. Shipments will begin at once. The contract is the largest lump contract ever secured by an Alabama company in a foreign market and coal men think it bids fair to be forerunner for more of the same kind in the Mexican mar ket. Shipments of Alabama coal to Mexico have been made before, but never on a regular basis. The pros poets now are that Alabama will have a steady trade in that section through the port of Pensacola.
