NEGRO'S DEATH Is
MOST PECULIAR
NOT ONE VICTIM OF A VIOLENT
DEATH IN A THOUSAND MEETS
EXACTLY SAME FATE AS JACK
BROWN, A MULE DRIVER.

Not one In thousand men who are
killed by accidents die under circum
stances which are as peculiar as those
which attended the death Wednesday az
ternoon of Jack Brown. a negro wagon
driver who was crushed between a tele-
graph pole and the hub of the vehicle
he was driving.
The negro drove across the Twenty-first
street bridge and just as he was nearing
the southern end the front guard of the
wagon became loosened and slipped out.
There being nothing to hold the brick in
they fell on the mules heels.
Brown was sitting on the brick, and
when they commenced falling out he
slipped forward and fell on the tongue
of the wagon. with one leg on either side
Of 1t. He placed his hands on the hind
querters of the mules and jumped back
to his seat. The mules became frightened
when he placed his hands on them and
commenced running away.
Brown leaned to one side. intending to
did so the mules turned into Alley A. He
jumped and his leg caught in the cross
tree, throwing him against telegra phi
pole. He was caught between the nub
of the front wheel and the post and his
life literally mashed cut.
His remains were carried to his father
house at Avondale yesterday morning.

SPACE IN NEW CITY
HALL IS IN DEMAND
Women Ask the Mayor to Set Aside q
Reading Room for
Boys.

The question Of alloting space in the
new city hall is becoming of much inter-
est. The city hall committee of the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen has this matter
to decide, but 1t is not probable they will
decide on anything definitely until the
new building is completed and turned
over to the city.
Mayor Drennen, who is chairman of
this committee, received call yesterday
from several ladies who want a room on
the third floor of the city hall set apart
as a library or reading room for the boys
of the city.
Mrs. r. d. johnson, Mrs. e. T. Talia-
ferro and Mrs. Adams, president of the
Woman's Club, urged the necessity OF
having such resort for tho boys. 1t is
proposed to have literature of a suitable
kind provided for them and to make the
place attractive so as to give them
pleasant resort at all times.

degrees was reached, while Tuesday the
temperature went as high as 81 degrees.
The records of the hottest days up to
April "a for the years since 1895 are as
follows:
Tenth day, 1901, 70 degrees.
Twenty-fourth day. 1900, "a degrees.
Twentieth day, 1899, 81 degrees.
Seventeenth day, 1898, SO degrees.
Nineteenth day, 1897 81 degrees.
Seventeenth day, 1896, 80 degrees
Twenty-second day. 1895, 50 degrees.
During the entire month of April a
higher point than 1873 has been reached
in years past, though that point was
usually reached after the twenty-fourth
day. For instance, last year 90 degrees
was reached on April 80, while in 1900 SO
degrees was touched on the twenty-ninth.
1t is believed the present hot spell will
continue until even higher point than
80 is reached for the month. If so, 1t will
be still another record, for since 1895 that
point has never been exceeded.

Price on all hog meat will continue to

The receipts of hogs in Chicago yester-
day were only $1,000, as against between
$4,000 and 10000 the same day last year.
In the past three days hogs have been
10000 short in Chicago as compared with
the same period of 1901.

SMITH is SET FREE.
Man Who Went On Visit to Jail and
Was Locked Up.

Monroe Smith, a white man, who while
en- visit to the county Jail several days
ago, became so boisterous and noisy that
ne had to be locked up. the trouble, it
is said, being primarily due to the fact
that he had taken a little more whisky
than was good for him, was yesterday
released from Jail, the case against him
having been mol pressed by the solic-
itor.
Smith resides nine miles beyond Shades
Mountain and has wife and ten chill
drtn. 1t was out OF consideration for
them that the case was dismissed. Cor
oner Paris went on his bond for the
costs, and Smith, after expressing his
regrets to Day Warden Simpson at the
Jail for the way he had behaved, set out
for home.

WOMAN SEEKS TO
RECOVER A LOT
MRS. VIRGINIA ROBERTSON FILES
SUIT AGAINST Mr.. E. M. TUT
WILER, WHICH INVOLVES VALU-
ABLE FOURTH AVE. PROPERTY.

In the City Court Virginia ]. Robertson
has filed suit against Mr.. e. NJ. Tutwiler
seeking to have conveyance to him
cancelled, claiming that she did not I'M
derstand its effect when she signed the
paper.
She sets out In her bill of complaint
that on February 20, 1892 she owned an
undivided one-half interest in lot five,
block Y in the city of Birmingham. said
lot being a rectangle 80 by 14o feet, and
fronting on Fourth avenue. That on said
date she mortgaged the eastern half to
]. K Collins to secure a note of $500
which was later transferred to the de-
PENDANT on October 2, 1892.
Afterwards on February 20, 1894, she
mortgaged all of said lot five to said
Tutwiler for $500, the consideration of
the new note being the cancellation by
him of the first mortgage and loan
of $1,000 made to her husband. On April
q 1896, she says she sold the property
outright to Mr.. Tutwiler in payment of
and that he agreed at the same time to
reconvey the property any time within
two years on the payment of $653.S7 by
complainant with a reduction of GER
tain sum If paid in less time.
Mrs. Robertson claims that the first
mortgage was void as it was given by
her to secure her husbands debts. She
says that at the time of the sale the
property was worth $4,000 and is now
worth $4,000. She admits that she owes
$500 and says that at the time of the sale
and the cotemporaneous agreement to re-
convey that it was only intended to Sc
cure her debt of $500 and the Indebtedness
of her husband and that she was told by
her husband and Mr.. Tutwiler that the
whole transaction was simply to renew
her indebtedness and her husbands for
the space of two years. She asks the
court to construe the deed and agree
ment to reconvey as a mortgage and that
an accounting be had

the Southern Railway has been erect

The completion OF this bridge opens up
a large rection of new residence terri
tory which lies between Twenty-seventh
and Thirty-fourth streets and Tenth
most as high as Red Mountain. From the
city proper TO this section the grade Is
up all the way, and in driving its great
elevation is not realized on account of

| The long delay in the completion of this
| bridge by the Southern Railroad grew
out Of a dispute as to who should build
it. The Birmingham Realty Company Of
fered at one time to build the bridge, but
the railroad would not agree to the kind
of bridge it was proposed to erect. Fin
ally the city took a hand in the matter
and ordered the railroad to build a
bridge under the supervision of the city
engineer. The Southern Railway has also
teen required to build bridges at
Eleventh and Thirteenth avenues. similar
TO the one at Twelfth avenue.
The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power Company will extend its Powderly
line waich now ends at Twelfth avenue
and Twenty-fourth street. to Thirty

BOER OFFICER TO
TELL OF THE WAR
COMMANDANT kRlGE WILL DE-
LIVER AN ADDRESS MONDAY
NIGHT-WAR NO NEARER END
THAN WHEN 1T BEGAN.

Commandant Jan Krige, an officer I'M
der Gen. Louis Botha, commander
chief of the Boer army is in the city, and
will speak Monday night at the corner of
First avenue and Nineteenth street on
the Boer war, its causes, conduct and
probable outcome.
Commandant Grige reached Birming-
ham yesterday from Memphis where he
spoke Tuesday night. He states that the
Boer war is by no means over, the re-
ports in the papers to the contrary not
withstanding. He said:
1.-The Boer war is no nearer an end
than when 1t began. All reports to the
contrary are English lies. The English
are anxious for the war to be ended but
we will not make peace unless granted
our terms
Asked how the Beers could find suf-
ficient men to prolong the war, he said:
'There are now 5000 Beers in the
field. If the stories sent out by the En-
glish OF the number of Beers killed by
them were true, there would not be a
Boer left alive by this time. The fact
is that we have ample men and they are
well equipped.
1.-THE English are now supplying our
men as we'll as their own with ammuni-
ton, clothes and horses. In the last two
years and six months they have shipped
over 103, 900 horses from New Orleans. The
American people are really enabling them
to carry on the war by allowing these
shipments"
Commandant Krige is studying farm
ing methods in America, and incidentally
is enlightening the people about the war;
explaining as he says, the real facts. AT
his address Monday night he will relate
number of his personal experiences
while In the Roar army

STILL DISCUSSING WELL.
Board of Revenue Receives Bids, But
Is Still Undecided.

The board of revenue was in session
yesterday discussing the matter OF
building a well in the back yard of the
courthouse to supply that building and
the Jail with water. Bids were opened
but no award was made.
]. o. Heflin & Co. offered to build the
well complete for $3.50, and Charles Nor
gan made a bid of $3.50 a dirt foot and
$3.50 for each foot through rock. The
board will determine the question of a
