MAY ASK PREPARING
 IN SANDEFUR CASE
City Law Officers Discuss Probable Action In the Sewage
 Suit.

The city of Birmingham will probably ask the Supreme Court to grant a rehear- ing of the case of pr. J. I. Sandefur. growing out of the dumping of sewage in Valley Creek. No definite decision has been reached. but Mir. Edward Smith. who will assume the duties of city attorney on January 1, said yesterday that such action had been discussed and would prob ably be taken. He would not discuss the probable grounds upon which to base the application.
 The decision sustaining the Chancery Court decision grhnting an injunction re- straining the city from emptying sewage in Valley Creek was rendered by the Su- preme Court on December IS. The city has fifteen days from that date in which to file an application for rehearing.

TWO SKY SCRAPERS FOR
 19O2---PROBbBLY THREE
Work is Progressing Rapidly Woodward Building and Ground for Structure to be Built by the Title Guarantee, Loan and Trust Company Will Soon be Broken-Hote on the Me- Donald Corner.

mingham is growing fast and becoming more and more metropolitan every year This city is already a strong magnet for commercial travellers, prospeetors and business men who have money to spend freely.
 1t will take fully a year to build and fit up a hotel such as Is under consider alton. If this scheme goes through as l predict, there will be business enough for all the hotels"
 Reverting to the Woodward building now under construction, MT. Weston, the experimenting architect who is asso- ciatcd with the firm of Stone Brothers states that it will be completed by Octob- CT next He says the steel will come from Pittsburg. the gray pressed brick from Columbus, Ohio, and the rough brick from Birmingham. Mechanics trained in steel construction will be brought from the East for this job.
 Iron Skeleton Work.
 Iron skeleton work was common in the East years ago, but only steer Is used today. It is far better than iron and be- ing much lighter is decidedly more econ omical.
 The steel work begins in the basement. Steel columns rest upon the cassons. Steel girders supported by column stretch across each floor. All the interior frame work Is of steel. The outer walls of brick are thin. They bear no weight and the walls of each story support themselves For example If the wall of the second story were taken out the wall of the third would remain intact. The brick work is strongly hooked, or anchored as the architects say. to the steel frame.
 For the Woodward building the front walls will be only one foot. five inches thick. There might be less thickess than that and the brick work would be all right. where the brick wall in some Northern structures is farce feet thick it is simply to allow depth for window frames
 Terra cotta veneering without any brick is much the fashion now and this ve- ncering Is only a few inches thick, The steel does the rest and makes a struc- ture practically as strong as adamant.
 MT. Weston is expecting a consignment in the next week or two He will be ready for it by the first of January.

TO BEGIN WORK
 ON CITY JAIL
PART OF MATERIAL TO GO IN THE THIRD STORY ADDITION IS ON THE eRoUND-MoRE ROOM FOR PRISONERS.

Work will soon begin on the addition to the city jail. The Iron powders, the flooring and the steel for several of the cells to be used in the construction of the third story have arrived and are in the alley near the Jail waiting for the workmen who will probably begin op- erations soon after New Years.
 The jail will be remodeled on the in- side, the present cells being changed, and a third story will be added which will occupy the entire present second floor, including the court room now used by Judge Feagin.
 When those changes are made there will be sufficient room fin the jail for all the city prisoners. It will also give a place in which persons committing serious crimes may be safely locked.
 Judge Feagin's court will be moved to the new city hall building where suita- ble rooms have been set aside.

SAYS MALICE WAS BEHIND KILLING
 OF POWDERLY BOY Coroner'S Jury Charges Arthur
 Perry With Murder in
 First Degree WAS ONLY ONE WITH PISTON Other Negroes in Crowd Were un- armed-Arriva of Officers and
 Delay In Getting Rope Saved Negro's Neck.
WAS ONLY ONE WITH PISTON

Murder in the first degree is the charge on the docket at the Jefferson County jail against Arthur Perry the 16-year-old negro boy who shot and killed Joshua Williams, a white boy, without provoca- tion at Powderly Christmas night. The verdict of the coroner's jury charges that the shooting was unwarranted and with malice aforethought
 The testimony at the coroners inquest held yesterday morning at Warner x Smileys undertaking establishment brought to light the fact that the boy was the only member of the gang of negroes who had a pistol. and that he went straight to his father and told him that he had shot the pist ol twice in front of Schaffer's store.
 The latter statement was made in the presence of third person. and it was on this evidence that the coroners jury based their verdict, coupled with other circumstantial evidence furnished by more than thirty people, who were pres ent during different stages of the trouble.
 Fired Into Crowd.
 ACcOTulnR to Inc IeSlillOHy at lliC ilA- quest the negroes, eight or ten of them, had been to Schaffer's store to buy fire works They left the store and had gone about fifty feet when one of the party turned and fired into the crowd of white people gathered in front of the store. The negroes scattered as soon as the second shot, the one which killed Joshua Will Hams. was fired, and it was shown that Perry ran straight to his fathers house. He was afterwards arrested In company with his father, who had a Winchester rife and a 32-calibre revolver on him. He is held for carrying concealed weapons.
 Searching posses were in a short while securing the woods. Perry and his father were found about a mile and a half from. Powderly. News quickly spread that they had been captured, and crowd gathered
 Prepared for Lynching.
 Then began preparations for lynch ing the negro. Some one had gone in search of a rope when Sheriff Burgin and Deputy Gaudlock rode up and claimed the prisoners They were turned over and the sheriff hastened to the car and came to Birmingham.
 Feeling in Powderly is intense, and but for the timely arrival of the sheriff, the boy and probably his father who seemed inclined to protect the murderer, would have been hung.
 Delay in Getting oRpe.
 The negroes owe their lives to the de- lay in getting a rope and to the prompt ness of the sheriff in acting as soon as he heard of the shooting. There were sev- eral older men in the crowd when the of ficers arrived and they threw their influ- ence on the side of the law, pleading with the crowd even before the sheriff came to allow the law to take it's course, agreeing that the negro would certainly pay the penalty for his crime

more cases tried at this session than ever before, but more money was taken in on small fines than ever taken in on one day. The court also held longer session than ever before.
 The heaviest fine was for carrying con cealed weapons. Lorenzio Daniels got s9o and 20 days on this charge. John Brown was fined $50 and 90 days for lar ceny of pistol from Eugene Fies. and Milton Henderson was bound over to the Criminal Court on bond of s2O0.

Birmingham will see the erection of two tall buildings of brick and steel in 1902 and 1t is almost certain that third will be under way if not completed with in the next twelve or fifteen months.
 Work on the Woodward office building at the corner of First avenue and Twen- tieth street is progressing rapidly This structure will be notable for two reasons It will be Birmingham's first sky-scraper steel skeleton building.
 The second steel structure will be erect ed by the Title Guarantee Loan and Trust Company at the northwest corner of Third avenue and Twenty-fi street It will be an office building MT. w. c. Weston is the architect His drawings have been accepted by the company. and he will be ready to break ground in the early spring, The building will be seven stories high.
 On the Mcdonald Corner.
 The third building referred to is that which Is being projected for the old Me Donald site at the corner of Second av- enue and Twentieth street. The new own CTS of this property are not prepared to make public their plans, but a prominent citizen who is interested in their enter prise says hotel will be the outcome. This man went on to remark:
 Tt Is mistake to say that architects are now engaged on sketches and draw ings for 9 hotel building. The owners are not quite ready to call in architects, but there is no doubt in my mind that work on the hotel will be started sometime next spring or summer. It will be an eight or ten-story fre-proof building of steel. stone and brick, It will be a marvel of elegance, and as a matter of course it will be strictly up to date in every de- tail
