WANTED FOR BURGLARY.
Negro Charged With Robbng Stores
 at Pratt City.

Policemen Baker and Patton yesterday arrested a negro named Rich Harris, wanted in Pratt City on three charges of burglary and grand larceny. They like wise recovered large portion of the goods he had stolen. They consisted of ladies' hats, shoes, silk cloth, pistols, razors. ribbons and a number of other articles.
 The negro broke into and robbed ths stores of J. D. Hanby and Mrs. Adkins In Pratt City several days ago. Since that time Policemen Patton and Baker have been after him, and yesterday they located him in his house near avenue H and Eighteenth street. When the officers arrived the negro ran. and they fired al him several times. Although he was only few feet away when they fired, both missed the mark.
 The policemen chased the negro several blocks and finally caught him. Yesterday afternoon Captain Ward of the Pratt City police force came to Birmingham and the negro was turned over to him.

BUY INTEREST OF
 THE ROBINSONS
MIR. MORRISON AND ASSOCIATES BECOME INTERESTED IN THE DECATUR CAR WHEEL AND MANUFACTURING co.

MT. ". J. Morrison, of Chicago, who recently succeeded MT. W. F. Newbert as president of the Decatur Car Wheel and Manufacturing Company, whose works are located near the Alice fur mace, intends to spend most of his time in Birmingham and it may be that he will take up his permanent residence here. He together with MT. J. ". Mute and MT. Shumway, have purchased the interest held by MT. Newbert, MT. II. G. Robinson and MT J. H. Robinson.
 The company Is capitalized at s5O,O00 and 75 per cent of the stock was owned by MT. Newbert and the Robinsons President Morrison declines to say what he and his associates paid, but as the Decatur Car Wheel works is known to be one of the most profitable industries in Birmingham the stock has value far above par. It pays fancy dividends.
 While Mir Mute is largely interested in the St. Louis car wheel plant the De- catur car wheel plant will be operated entirely as an independent property, just as it has been in the past.
 The services of MT. Martin Kirk Moore as the company's travelling representa- tive have been retained.
 The car wheel works employ about 15O men and turnout 400 wheels a day.

WORN IN MANY BATTLES.
An Old Sword Clasp Returned to Its
 Owner.

While on visit recently to com rade in the civil war Geperel J. D. Saw age had returned to nim Q clasp to a sword which was worn by his great gr grsndfether in the revolutionary war and by himself In the civil war. It was shot of at the battle of Shiloh. The clasp, the belt and the sword have peculiar history. Now nothing remains hut the clasp.
 The clasp originally belonged to Colo mel w. c. Culberson and was carried by him in the battles of Greer Pond, Nine ty-six, Fairfield, Newburg, Cowpcns, Kings Mountain and Guilford Court house during the revolutionary war. When he died it went to his daughter, Jane, wife of Major James Savage. who wore 1t in the battles of Port Royal and Charleston in the war of 1872. His son, James P. Savage. inherited the. sword and gave 1t to his son. Captain James H. Savage of Company I, Nineteenth Ala bama
 Captain Savage was wearing the sword belt and clasp at Shiloh when it was struck by a minie ball. which tore it off. The ball also wounded Captain Savage .nd he was moved from the field, where the sword was left.
 MT. w. L. Kingsbury, a comrade of General Savage, found the clasp when he visited the place with the Shiloh Park Commission ten years ago. He returned the clasp to General Savage several days ago. On the clasp gre notches showing worn.

Since the beginning of 1902 the records to this date show only three deaths from typhoid fever fin the city. Two of these persons are reported not to have been users of the public water supply
 For population of about 10000 the number of typhoid deaths during the past two years, especially 1901, was very large and far in excess of what it should be fin a city with thoroughly satisfactory sanitary conditions. How far the ty- phoid deaths were caused by factors in dependent of the water supply, such as milk, spring water, well water, imported cases, secondary infection or other we'll recognized causes we are unable to de- termine from the meager data which arc available There Is no doubt, however. that a considerable number of the ty- phoid fever deaths were due to such other causes.
 "We have made special studies regard

Waste of Water.

Tn concluding this summary we are constrained to make mention of the ex- ceedingly rapid rate of increase in con- sumption which prevails in Birmingham, and which, as shown by the records, has now reached an average daily amount of 12 million gallons. or of 22O gallons per capita per day, with a maximum of over 16 million gallons per day"
 The report sets out their investigations into the water sheds of the Big and Little Cahabas and Five Mile Creek, and ar engagements made by them to have series of chemical and biological examina- tons made by samples of the water taken from the various running streams and reservoirs.
 Birmingham Is now consuming from 15,- 0o0,000 to 100000 gallons a day, one third of which is taken from Five Mile creek The experts think a great deal of water is being wasted.
 They discuss the question of typhoid fever statistics as follows:

when in fapt it was from the North Br- mingham supply"
 MT. Purdy continued by telling how the 'company had employed Experts Eenzen- berg and Fuller and of tneir investiga- tions.
 This showed ttat the water supply being furnished your city is better than a5 per cent of the surface water fur nished in most cities said he. "1t is however, subject to accidental pollution. as for instance. there might be case of tyPno'd fever in the water shed and scme of the germs might be wasAed into the water supply. This report, however, says in positive terms that this is the only source of danger to the water sup ply, that Is, accidental ponution."
 He then read the determination of the experts as to the various analyses show ing the water to be practically free from intestinal bacteria and beyond question so far as any pollution was concerned. Continuing he said:
 Not for Evasion.
 T want to speak frankly and plain.
  examination with a view of eVading any responsibility duty 1t owed the public. The community, however, owes some duties to the company. The community has the power to prevent any case of accidental pollution by enforcing laws to protect the water sheds. This however, would be difficult to carry out. It would be impractical to attempt to police the district of the water shed, as we req lize, and our company therefore in- tends to make the water perfectly safe to filter both the supply of North Bir- mingham and that from Shades moun- tain.
 Tn return, we only ask you to aid us in preventing the great waste of water and assist us in setting aside the decree of the court which prohibits us from using meters for domestic uses.'
 MT. Purdy was greeted with much ap- plause as he concluded. Alderman Alt mans motion was then adopted and the matter went over to the next regular meeting of the Council.

President Purdy Reads Report of Experts Benzenburg and Fuller Who Have Made a Careful Analysis of Water.
Say Water Is Wholesome and
 Pure Although 1t May Be
 Accidentally Pollutcd---Sup> ply Better Than Most Cities.

The report of Sanitary Experts George H. Benzenberg of Milwaukee and George w. Fuller of New York. which was sub mitted to the City Council last night makes the following summary of their investigations and conclusions:
 The results of our personal examina- tion and inspection of the various parts of the works and of the water sheds, as well as those of the character of the water supply as indicated by the several analyses to which we had access, and as shown by different records so far as they were obtainable, may be briefly summarized as follows:
 T. As to the appearance of the water supply as 1t Is delivered to the consum- CTS, We find that it. in each case Is reasonably satisfactory, and that by taking judicious advantage of the pres ent reservoirs this satisfactory condition can be maintained in the future.
 ''2 As to the tastes and odors we found no unsatisfactory conditions In the case of the Five Mile creek supply In the case of the Cahaba supply we find that during "a storage for a period of one to two weeks under the influence of the hot Southern sun. the water permits the growth of harmless forms of plant life which produce dlsagreeabe lasts and odors
 S. As to the sanitary character of these water supplies, during our investi- gation, we found them to be satisfac- tory.
 "A As regards the general sanitary character of the Five Mile creek supply, We find from the typhoid fever statistics and by the number and distribution of the population on the water shed and near the canal, that there Is a possibility that this may at times become acciden- tally polluted.
 T. As regards the East Cahaba water supply, we find that this water does not reach the city of Birmingham until the pumping at Cahaba station exceeds the flow of the main Cahaba river. While this condition of affairs might exist for very short periods during the extremely dry years the evidence furnished us indicates that this has not occurred dur ing the past four years. As regards the sanitary character of this water, the indications are that the number and dis tribution of population on the water shed are such as might make accidental pollu- ton possible.
 e. The water from the main Cahaba river has for the past four years been the only water which has been delivered to the Shades Mountain reservoirs The general sanitary character of this water we find satisfactory and distinctly su- perior to the water from the other two ' sources, due to the sparsty and the dis tribution of the population on It's water shed, and to the purifcation effected by sedimentation in the Shades Moun- tain reservoirs.

FIFTEEN IRE KILLED.
AND TWENTY-NINE INJURED
IN RAILROAD WRECK.
Terrible Accident Reported on the
Fonda, Johnstown and Glovers-
vile Railroad.

Utica. N. Y, July 5.-On an cleo
trio railroad lea Gloversville last
night there was a collision between
two airs crowded with passengers,
by which fifteen persons were killed
and twenty-nine injured.
For a distance of four miles north
of Gloversville, the Mountain Lake
Railway, an electric road connects
Gloversville with a popular place of
resort or picnic ground. AS it was
the Fourth of July the place was
crowded with pleasure seekers.
Last night the cars were filled
with people coming home from the
grounds. At 1890 p. M, at a dis
lance of about two and one-half
miles north of Gloversville, there
was a collision between two cars, one
bound north and one bound south.
They came together head on with
terrific velocity. AS a result Is per-
sons were killed outright and 20 in
jured, the latter more OR less Sc
riously.
AS it was a holiday there were
many business men among those on
the a 1t is impossible to get the
names of all at present.
City Recorder Frank G. Wood, of

and is in a very critical condition.

AS TO COTTON.

A gulf storm has swept over Texas
and the cotton crop of that great
State has been rescued from serious
deterioration, and a failure of the
crop is rendered well nigh impos-
|sible. The size of the crop is, of
course, problematical, and will re-
main in that condition until the last
bale is packed, but there are now
good grounds for anticipating a lib
eral crop.
Texas grows nearly a third of the
entire crop of the country, and heavy
rains have fallen in every cotton
growing county. The moisture did
not come in the form of thunder
showers, but as a general rain last
ing two or three days. Many coun-
ties had much more than they need
ed. These rains will not rescue from
loss the corn crop of the State, which
had become impaired beyond the
possibility Of recovery, but they did
lift the cotton plants out of trouble,
and a good crop of cotton in Texas is
now a reasonable expectation.
Stocks of cotton will be very small
at the close of the present cotton
year on August 81, and a good crop
will be needed. Acropof 1000, 900
bales will be none too much, and
such a crop will not create prices be-
low the cost of production, or even
near it. The world needs a large
American crop and will pay a fail
price for it.
It is far too early to say what the
crop will be, but a reasonable guess,
as conditions stand, would be H.
900 900 bales, or about 500, 600 more
bales than the output of the present
crop will prove to be. If possible
drawbacks should reduce the new
crop to the figures Of the present
crop, high prices would be newt
liable, for stocks are low and the de
mands of a naked world strong.
