A NEW TRIAL ORDERED
SUPREME COURT REvERsES THE
 SURGINER VERDICT.
Sentenced for Assault to Murder, New Trial Ordered on Ground That Testimony of Physi-
 clan is Incompetent

In an opinion by MT. Justice Sharpe the Alabama Supreme Court yesterday reversed and remanded the case of Jessie Surginer on an appeal from the Circuit Court of Limestone County. In this case the Court practically held that the evil dence of a physician as to what might have been the result of wound is in competent. The case goes back to the lower court for a new trial.
 Surginer was convicted of assault to murder in the Circuit Court of Limestone County and sentenced to twenty-five months in the penitentiary. The case grew out of a fight between Surginer on one side and Will Yarbrough, Walter Yarbrough and Burt Yarbrough on the other Several pistol shots were exchang- ed and Will Yarbrough and Burt Tar brough were wounded. Five weeks after the difficulty Burt Yarbrough died, his death it is said having been due to ty- phoid fever.
 During the trial of Surginer for assault to murder Will Yarbrough, evidence was introduced by a physician to the effect that the pistol shot wound might have caused the death of Burt 1arbrougn The defendant excepted to the admission of this testimony on the ground that 1t had nothing to do with the assault upon \ execution was overruled and the defend- ant rested his appeal to the higher court mainly on this exception which was sus- tained.
 The following other decisions were rem dered by the Court vesferdlv:

STRIKE IS AT AN END
JouRNEYMEN PLUMBERS RE-
 TURN TO WORK TODAY.
Settlement Reached on the Same Basis That Obtained Previous to the Disagreement-Good
 Feeling Prevails.

It was announced yesterday afternoon that the plumbers strike had ended and that the journeymen plumbers would go to work this morning.
 The terms upon which the master plumbers and the journeymen plumbers came together were not made public. It Is understood, however. that the journey men will go back to work at their old wages of $4 a day and that days work shall consist of nine hours. The ar rangement by which all the journeymen plumbers will return to work is not satis- factory to all and some of them may not returff Under the settlement Of the strike as it is generally understood the jcurneymen lose their main contention, their claim for an eight-hour day.
 A meeting of the journeymen was held late yesterday afternoon at which some action on the strike was taken, but both the master plumbers and the journeymen declined to discuss it. It can be safely stated that the relations between the strikers and their employers will be prac- ticaIly as 1t was before the strike.
 The journeymen have been out on a strike for ten days. They asked of the master plumbers an eight-hour day for the same pay they have received for nine hours labor. The strike was carried on with good feeling on both sides and it has ended with no enmity between em- Ilcyers and employees. The master plumb CTS even declined to say they had been victorious in the strike. simply stating that the journeymen would return to work today and that nine hours would constitute days work. It Is understood that the strikers did not obtain their de- mand because some of them returned to work and the strike lost it's force.
 The master plumbers have been hard at work upon the jobs that have demand ed immediate attention and in this way the situation was to some extent relieved All plumbing work will now go forward.
