TESTIMONY TAKEN
 IN NEWELL MURDER
Coroner's Jury Examines Sev- eraI Witnesses and Ad-
 journs Until Next Week

Bessemer, July 9.-(Special. .)-The cor oner's jury in the Newell case continued its investigations today and despite the fact that they were in session all the af- ternoon and examined a number of wit nesses, they were unable to render a yer dict. They adjourned until Thursday week.
 George Bullard, one of the men under arrest on the charge of having robbed Newell, stated that A. J. Sumner. the other man, took a $20 gold piece from Newell, giving about $9 of it to him (Bul- lard). Sumner strongly denied having talk en the money. William Anderson, bar keeper, testified that Sumner tried to drug Newell in a saloon In this city. This was on the afternoon that the robbery was committed. It was brought out in the testimony that there were no blood stains on the track where Newelrs body was found, as would have been the case had he been run over and killed by the train. The evidence, though mostly cir cumstantial, tended to connect the two men with Newell's death.
 Sumner and Bullard will be taken 10

WORKS SHUT DOWN
 BECAUSE OF FIGHT
The Alabama Bridge 6 Iron Co., Suspends Operations Pend
 ing a Settlement

New Decatur, May 30-(Special. )--The Alabama Bridge and Iron Company, and the American Bridge Company, which have been engaged in business here for some months have decided to close down for the present until the fight now on between the American and independent bridge companies can be arranged.
 The Alabama company some time ago purchased the old rolling stock com pany's plant here and for the past six months have been manufacturing iron bridges of every design. The main South ern office of the American Company was located here several months ago with the Alabama Company.
 The plant of the Alabama Company here is closed down and w. B. Strong, president and general manager of the company, has gone to New York per- manently.
 The office of the American Bridge Company will be moved to. Atlanta, Ga. within the next few days.
 A representative of the company in- formed the Age-Herald correspondent that no disposition of the plant here would be made until the fight between the American and independent bridge companies was settled. Continuing he said that large bridge plant would be located somewhere in the South and that New Decatur will probably capture 1t.

Brooklyn Handicap.

Never in the history of any country has stake event more promptly leaped into fame and popularity than did the Brooklyn Handicap at it's inception in 1887, and its entire history has been an unbroken series of holiday outings for the public.
 This years event was of more than special interest. Banastar was the fa- vorite and carried the good wishes and money of 50 per cent of the public. He had won five of his last six starts, in cluding the Blooklyn Handicap QS99), the Toboggan twice, and the Metropolitan. It was thought by the talent that there was nothing in it but Banastar. In spite of the great race that Convoy ran on Thursday and the fact that he was to carry but 9S ponds over @ muddy track 1t was argued that The might be sitting some as far as he goes;" but the old adage entered into the argument that 3-year-old had never won any ofthe spring handicaps at dis tance over mile, and that Henry of Navarro could not do it, and he was as good & colt as Convoy, and Banastar is as good as any horse that started when Navarro was a 3-year-old, so 1t must be presumed that Banastar should beat Con roy.
 Nevertheless, Convoy did win the Brook lyn Handicap, with Banastar back in the ruck. The fact alone that he Is a 3-year- old stamps him as a remarkable horse, for he has rent asunder all racing tradi- tions as to the inability of a 3-year-old to win a Brooklyn Handicap, but to have won it in the heavy going of Saturday in 2:o9 was all the happiness his admirers desired. It will probably be a question of strong discussion from now on among the regulars as to which of MT. Keene's pair of 3-year-olds is the better-Comman- do or Convoy.
