JUDGE COLEMAN
 MODIFIES ORDER
ALLOWS VEHICLES WITH BUsI- NESS IN COURT HOUSE BLOCK
 ON TWENTY-FiRsT STREET TO
 sToP-eIvEs OUT INTERVIEW.

Judge A. A. Coleman of the Circuit Court yesterday modified his recent order prohibiting any travel on Twenty-irst street between Third and Fourth ave- nues during the sessions of his court, so as to allow persons having business with those who reside along this block to enter with their vehicles
 Judge Coleman's order is as follows: MT. Andrew B. Burgin, Sheriff:
 Sir-The order heretofore made by me in respect to travel on Twenty-first street between Third and Fourth avenue, is hereby modified so as to allow the pas sage of all vehicles going to and from any house or lot situated on either side of said street between said avenues. and you will govern yourself accordingly. Yours truly. A. A. COLEMAN,
 Judge Tenth Judicial Circuit.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday Judge Coleman said:
 'I have not had any notice served on me yet. The Supreme Court will issue a rule nisi and I will file an answer. I offered to waive the notice and file my answer at the time the petition was filed
 This is in no sense a personal matter TOT my convenience dlOHe lHe had come to such a pass that I was forced to stop the noise in the street or else give up holding court. Before issuing the order l asked the sheriff for another court room but there was none to be had
 "All that I am after Is to stop the noise. If the city will cover the street with tan bark or sawdust that will be sufficient The noise was so great that jurors who are sworn to try cases accord ing to the evidence could not hear half of the evidence. We would have to stop every time a cay went by or a heavy wagon. The loss of time cost the county a good deal of money. I might almost say that third of the time we had to cease on account of passing cars or vehi- cles.
 ''The whole matter Is simply question of self preservation, and a court has the right to preserve itself as an individual has the right of self-defense. There is no question but what the court has the power to pass such an order. It is done by Judge Pardee in New Orleans every time his court meets and by other judges.
 "The modification of the order made today will allow everyone having business in this block to come in without delay. Just as soon as court adjourns each day the ropes across the street are removed"

Food for the Fans.


 The following message was received last night from Manager Haller: "Sorber and Warren have been released. Dowie and Leahy are the new men with the team and more are on the way"
 When 1t was definitely learned that Sor- Der had been released there were many expressions of regret among Birmingham fans Sorber, though suffering from ma- laria most of the time since the season began, has convinced the enthusia sts that he IS a crack fielder and a base run ncr of the first water. He has been off in his hitting ever since the Cleveland game and 1t Is supposed for this reason he was released. "Sor" was always an earnest hard working ball piawer and had the interest of the team at heart. When he leaves Birmingham he will carry with him the best wishes of every base ball crank in the city.
 Valley Warren, the little third base man, recently called from North Caro- lina, was given his release in New Or leans and it is said he is stranded in inc Crescent City without enough money to buy a ticket home. Sorber says he tried to get up money enough to bring Valley back home, but had to catch a train and could not do so.
 Dowie, the new third base man, is the man who played with New Orleans last year and was released. He is one of the oldest players in the business Leahv. who has also been signed, was with Chattanooga last season. He is an in- fielder and may be placed at shortstop or second base.

Local government being a funda-

SAW A PHENOMENON
BALL LIGHTNING STRIKES i
VESSEL.
Lightning Detached Itself From a
Cloud and Leisurely Dropped and
Struck the Mizzen Truck.

Robert Seyboth of the United States
weather bureau tells of an experience
with ball lightning while at sea in
Hudson bay in 1867. The phenomenon
was Witnessed during a storm. Hap
pening to secure the upper hold on the
foretopsail brace, the writer, facing
sternward, again noticed the evil-look-
ing thunderhead, apparently but a few
yards above the mizzen truck, and,
while waiting in silent expectancy for
the thing to come, saw a ball of fire
the size of a mans head detach. itself
from the cloud and sail quite leisure
ly to the mizzen truck, striking which
1t exploded with deafening crash and
sent a showed of kissing sparks over
rigging and deck.
"Of the immediate consequences,
save one, the writer can only speak
from hearsay. When he regained con-
seriousness he found himself sitting,
propped up against the weather side of
the mainmast. paralyzed in the right
half of his body, and his shipmates
busily engaged, some in clearing away
the Wreckage of the shattered main
mast, others in sounding the pump 70
discover whether or not the bolt had
knocked a hole in the vessels bottom.
The latter calamity was probably
averted by the fact that the lightning
had found an easier escape to the wa
ter by way of the anchor chains,
through the hawser pipes, as both an
chors had been made ready to let drop
in case of the vessels inability to
weather Their ocks. The one exception
above noted, and which he has accept
ed as proof that the velocity of thought
is greater than that of lightning, was
his distinct realization, at the critical
moment, that he had been struck by
lightning and was being hurled to the
deck, though consciousness failed him
before he struck it. He also had time
to formulate the thought, Well it is
all over with you this time and feel
rather gratified at the supposed fact.
There was absolutely no pain felt,
not even an unpleasant sensation; on
the contrary, he seemed to sink into an
agreeably restful position, though ac-
cording to his shipmates statements,
he was hurled with great violence into
the lee scuppers. OF the other men on
the deck especially those having hold
of the brace, every one was more or
less shocked, but none were rendered
insensible. The writer's uppermost hold
on the rope had evidently DETECTED the
greater part of the charge through his
body. The paralysis of his right side
was gradually succeeded by a prick
ling sensation, and the movement of
his limbs had again become possible
by the time the watch was told to go
below."-Scientific American.
