TO REBUILD FERTILIZER PLANT.
Contract Will Probably Be Let for the
Work Tomorrow.

1t was thought that the contract for
rebuilding the plant Ct the birmingham
Fertilizer Works at East Birmingham,
which was recently burned would be
given out yesterday, but it was decided
to withhold it until tomorrow.
Dr. P. C. Hoffman of Montgomery, who
is division manager for Alabama of the
Virginia-Car Chemical company, of
which the Birmingham Fertilizer Works
is a part, was here yesterday for the
purpose of awarding the contract, but
for the convenience of one of the bidders
his decision is delayed.
The plant to be built will be much
larger than the one burned, and penalty
clauses will be inserted in the contract
for it's construction to guarantee its COM
pletion by September 1.

RECORD OF COURTS.

In the Circuit court yesterday the jury
and M. A. Butler against the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company re-
turned a verdict giving the plaintiff a
judgment for $3.50. The case has been on
trial for several days and Is an interest
ing one. The plaintiff sued for $4,000
damages, alleging that she received in
juries In a street car collision near Avon
1899 and Judgment was then given the
plaintiff for $45S3. The case was appealed
and a new trial ordered
Judge Coleman heard motions most of
the day in the Circuit court.
In the City court w C. Agee and E..
w. Ruclzer, doing business as partners
under the name of w. C. Agee & Co.,
have entered suit for $4,000 damages
against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company The papers were filed
yesterday morning through Frank s..
White and son. The plaintiffs allege that
the railroad company has a spur track
running In the rear Of their wholesale
grain, flour and feed stuffs establish
ment; that the firm sells their goods by
carload lots, and that the railroad peo-
pie refuse to handle cars for them, though
they have offered the customary prices.
The allegation Is also made that the rail-
road company will neither handle loaded
nor empty cars, and that 1t is seriously
interfering with their business and re-
smiling In loauac IN tho drpn
The suit is probably the first of It's
kind to be filed In court here. 1t is UNI
derstood that the railroad company has
demurrage claims against Agee & Co.,
and that they are in dispute. The firm,
however, claims that the road can re-
sort to other means If It's claim is just
and that 1t has no right to tie up its
business and refuse to handle its freight
No cases were tried In the City court
yesterday.
In the first division Of the Criminal court
a motion for a new trial was made by the
attorneys for Hollis B. Parrish, who was
convicted recently of murder In the sec.
ond degree and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary for killing George s
Leonard on an electric car last summer
A number of grounds for the motion were
given. This case was tried before Judge
Dan A. Greene. The motion for new
trial was passed over until next Saturday.
The motion for new trial was made on
the following grounds:
Il For that the verdict therein render
ed by the jury was contrary to evidence
in said case.
70. For that the said verdict was con-
trary to the great weight of evidence in
said cause
20. For that the verdict is inconsistent
and repugnant to the facts and the law in
said case.
"a. For that there Is no evidence in said
case to support said verdict.

RAILROADS AFTER scALPERs.
Injunction Asked Against Dealing In
Reduced Rate Tickets.

New Orleans. May 9-As the result OF
applications by the combined trunk lines
entering this city, Judge Parlange In the
United States Circuit court today issued
an order to all the ticket scalpers doing
business here to show cause next week
why an injunction should not be issued
restraining them from dealing In any
manner whatever in the reduced tickets
which the railroads are to put on sale
for the Confederate reunion which meets
here on May 10.
The companies aIlege that they have
arranged to sell tickets at one-third the
usual rate and unless relief is granted
through the courts the return coupons
or unused portions of many of these
tickets will be fraudulently acquired and
disposed of by the scalpers, causing losses
through damage suits and otherwise.

CULLMAN BERRIES
FIND READY SALE
More Strawberries Sold Yester-
day Than Ever Before
900 CRATES WERE SOLD
E,rIy In the Morning They Found
Ready sale at $3.50, But During
the Afternoon Went
Down to $3.50.

More strawberries were sold in Biz
mingham yesterday than in any other
single day in the city's history The sales
aggregated more than 800 crates of "a
be es each, making a total of something
like 1900 boxes of one quart each.
All of the berries except twenty crates
came from Cullman and Hanceville.
Twenty crates were received during the
morning from south Alabama, but they
were not equal to the Cullman product.
C. NJ. McMahen alone sold 474 crates
during the day.
One of the features of the market yes
terday was that Strawberries were sold
early in the morning for $3.50 a crate
and by the middle of the afternoon they
were going at $160. During the interval
they sold for 1925, 800 and $1.75
This will account to the housewife for
the fact that she only had to pay 1oc a
box yesterday afternoon for the same
berries she paid Is cents for during the
morning.
The berries were the finest seen in Bir-
mingham In many day and are such as
can only be raised In the Cullman terri
tory.
A well-informed commission merchant
said last night that 1t would have been
impossible a year or two ago to dispose
of 900 crates of berries here in one day,
even If they were offered at the beginning
as low as 81 .25 a crate
squashes, cucumbers and peppers from
Florida are now in the market. There
are some tomatoes but they are not very
plentiful. Beans and peas are scarce. A
few blaokberries and dewberries were
seen yesterday on Morris avenue.

HUNTER WILL NOT
Be ALLOWED BAIL
Judge Sem Grants an Appeal
to Supreme Court
LAW RATHER COMPLICATED
The Texas Authorities Who Ask for
Hunter Return to That state.
VIII Have to Wait-some-
what Novel Case.
LAW RATHER COMPLICATED

William Hunter, alias William Hunt,
charged with being a fugitive from JUS
tice, and who is wanted in Texas on a
charge of defrauding the Fidelity Mutual
Life Insurance company of Philadelphia,
will have to remain in the county jail
in Birmingham until the Supreme court
reviews the testimony adduced in the
habeas corpus proceedings last week be-
fore Judge Charles A. Sem of the city
court
AT the conclusion of the habeas corpus
hearing Judge Semi announced that his
decision was that the prisoner should be
turned over to the sheriff of Jefferson
county. A motion for an appeal was at
once made by the attorneys for the pris-
oner. This was rather unusual in habeas
corpus proceedings, and the attorney and
judge were busy for some hours looking
up law points touching an appeal in such
cases.
Judge Sem yesterday decided to grant
the appeal to the Supreme court and re-
manded Hunter to jail without bond pend
Ing the decision of the higher court.
IL Is very probable that the Supreme
court will take the matter up at once.
The governor Of Texas sent a reQusi-
ton to Governor Jelks for the delivery
of Hunter to Texas authorities and q
warrant from Governor Jelks is in the
hands of Sheriff Burgin. Should the Su-
preme court sustain the decision OF Judge
Sem 1t is probable that Hunter will be
taken back to Texas. In the event the Su-
preme court decides not to sustain Judge
6enn's order 1t is not known what course
the insurance company will pursue to
have Hunter taken to Texas to face the
charges and allegations that have been
verbally made against him.
The case is one of unusual interest and
probably the first of it's kind in Alabama.
The laws in regard to appeals In habeas
corpus proceedings are said to be some
what complicated. This Is doubtless the
first case where an appeal was taken
when habeas corpus proceedings resulted
in holding the defendant, and that, too,
in the face OF warrant from the COVER
nor. The law permits the privilege Of APP
peal and the attorneys, who are making
a hard fight to keep Hunter from being
taken to Texas by an officer. at once took
advantage OF 1t in behalf of their client.
