DAVE AND ED,

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 MT. Dave Henderson. Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, that he is in position to bring a meas ure of ridicule on his country. Thomas B. Reed said the Speakership was second to only one other office in this country That Is hardly the fact while 1t is in the hands of General Henderson.
 Henderson is abroad this summer, and has had an interview with King Edward VII, a fact which seems to have made him as silly as a young girl In a decollete gown, who has Just been presented at court While the details of our conver- sation may not be repeated" says Dave, "I can assure my American friends that England may be depended upon in any ordinary controversy which might come up between the United States and the rest of the world"
 Oh, yes. England is very anxious to stand in" with us. Her military pres tige has been badly broken by the sturdy and patriotic Boers, and she would not be of much account in a European war. She would not be of much use to the United States. The British are not anx- ious to help this country. They want the people of the United States to help them. And when they get hold of a cheap American Statesman" like Dave Hen derson, how they do work him.

PROBABLY IDENTIFIED.
Man Killed at Readers Monday Be- lieved To Have Been H. c. Newell.

Bessemer, July 3.-(Special.)-It is believed that the identity of the man who was found dead on the track of the Louisville and Nashville Mineral road at Reeder's Gap yesterday morn- ing has been discovered. A MT. Sum- ner of Milldale, Ala, who was in the city .his afternoon, believes the man to have been H. c. Newell of Milldale. Messrs. Sumner and Newell were in the city Monday afternoon, and at that time it was the latter's intention to visit his mother, who lives somewhere between here and Birmingham. Today a badge was found near the spot where the booy was discovered. It was of metal, in the form of Maltese cross, and bore the inscription, ''H. c. New ell, U. M. w. of AL. U. No. 937, Mill dale, Ala, 5-15-1901." The letters stand for United Mine Workers of America, Local Union." Near the spot were also found some cartridges, and Newell pur- chased some cartridges and pistol while here Monday. The weapon was not found. Unfortunately, when MT. Sumner reached here today the re- mains had already been inferred. He left at once for the home of Newalls mother to see if ne had been there.' Louis Dennis, who was thought by many to have been the dead man, has been discovered to be alive and we'll

WARD ON TRIAL
 BEFORE FEAGIN
Case Called Yesterday Morning After Several Continuances.
 Witnesses Examined

After many continuances the case attorney, was called in the inferior crim- inal court yesterday morning. Ward Is charged with having sent indecent notes to Miss Nellie McGrew of this city.
 The case was called at 10 o'clock, and the court room was crowded with spec tators. The defendants witnesses were called and three were found to be absent, their names being John Brophy c. c. Jones and M. H. Fitzpatrick of Bessemer. Attachments were issued for them.
 Judge Allen, the defendants attorney, argued that the witnesses of the defend- ant should be present, whereupon the prosecution demanded that a showing be made, stating that perhaps what they would swear to might be admitted.
 . The trial at last began and several wit nesses were examined.
 The main witness of the day was Miss Nellie McGrew, the prosecutrix. She tes- tified that she was 25 years of age and engaged to be married shortly. She said that she received a note in question and told of the conversation she had with the negro delivering the note. She says she sent for her intended husband and gave him the note. She denied the most of the charge made by the defendant in his efforts to make showing for absent wit nesses. She denied that certain young men had to leave the vicinity because of her. In one case she said the young man whose name was given left because of talk.
 The case will be continued today.

CITY BOOKS IN
 GOOD CONDITION Special Examiner RoSSon Makes
 His Final Report OFFERS SOME SUGGESTIONS Says Record Made By the City Tax Collector Is Remarkable and Can Hardly Be EquaIed by Any
 City In the Country.
OFFERS SOME SUGGESTIONS

The report of George T. Rosson, the special examiner appointed to audit the books of the city officials of Birmingham, was submitted at the meeting of the board of Mayor and Aldermen last night.
 The report is typewriter and fills ten pages Every department of the city is reported upon and several recommenda- tions are made.
 The report shows that on June Il the city of Birmingham had a cash balance on hand amounting to s191, 1,S51.96, which includes general cash, bond fund, city hall and school, public bond improvement fund and public improvement tax.
 Suggestions.
 MT. Rosson makes the following sug- gestions:
 Take the pound out of the hands of the Chief of Police Place the pound keeper under the supervision of the au- ditor and have him report direct to the treasurer
 Have the tax collector prepare each month a list of abatements, allowances and double assessments and submit 1t to the board for approval or ratification.
 Instruct the auditor to open his books an account for the estimates for improvements which are discounted by the bank. The amount due the bank on June Il on account of these discounts was S1139S0.42.
 Appoint an assistant city attorney to attend the Inferior Criminal Court and represent the city in appeal cases. The city loses a considerable sum annually by reason of failure to follow up such cases.
 "Place the pound keeper and assistant warden under bond, as they handle funds belonging to the city
 "Institute the stub book system for turnkey fees.
 General Remarks. 'I found all the departments except the pound in excellent shape, evincing the fact that you have a very competent force of officers.
 "The books are neatly and correctly kept, and the record made by your city tax collector and the license poll and street tax collector is remarkable, and I doubt if ti can be equaled by any other city in this country"

PULLMANS NOT IN IT.
The Reported Purchase of the Belgian
 Company Denied.

Chicago, July 3.-Officials of the Pullman Palace Car Company today disclaimed all knowledge of the re- ported purchase by an American syn dicate of the International Sleeping Car Company from the Belgian Company. They regard the statement that head quarters would be located in Chicago as preposterous.
 An official who declined to allow his name to be used said he had heard that some New York capitalists had been negotiating for the purchase of the Belgian Company, but they had no con- nection with the Pullman Company and had no Chicago associates in the prop erty transaction.
