GORMAN'S BROTHER
 TAKES HIM AWAY
MAN WHO HAS STRANGE HALLU. CHAMPION THAT NEWSPAPERS
 ARE THREATENING HIM GOES
 TO ST. LOUIS FOR TREATMENT.

T. J. German of St. Louis arrived yesterday morning in Birmingham to take charge of his brother, w. C. Cor man, who has the strange hallucination that the newspapers are prosecuting him. The latter was released from the city jail last night by Warden Rlttenberry and turned over to his brother who will take him back to St. Louis at once
 When MT. German went to Chief Wiers office yesterday he had a long talk with the chief and Detective Bodeker about his brothers condition. He said this was the first attack and that he did not under stand it. He said his brother had been clerk of court in Oklahoma for some time and that he did not know there was anything wrong with him.
 The man who has the peculiar idea was given his money and papers, one of which was draft for s20O last night and no one who saw him strengthening them out would ever imagine that his brain was affected.
 It seems that nothing worries him ex- cept the dread of a newspaper. He seems to feel whenever he sees one that the article having the biggest head lines is an attack on his character, and that the newspaper reporters are bounding him to death. It is thought the trouble will not be permanent and as soon as he gets to St. Louis he will be placed under the care of a specialist.

MARTIN KLEIBER KILLED BY TRAIN
WELL-KNoWN EMPLoYE OF UNION PASSENGER STATION RUN OVER NEAR EIGHTEENTH STREET CROSSING.

Martin Kleiber an old white man who has been employed around the union pas senger station, was run over and killed yesterday by Birmingham Mineral en- zine. The old maps head was severed from his body, his left leg was cut off and his chest was crushed and mangled so that his heart was exposed.
 The accident occurred about 7;20 o'clock and was about fifty feet east of the Eigh- teenth street gates. At the time that he was killed the old man was standing on the track looking in the direction of the station and had his back turned to the engine, which had just come through the Eighteenth street gates.
 It seems that Kleiber had been clean ing up about the yards and saw hand car coming down the track on which he was working. He stepped off this track and on to the next one without seeing the engine coming. He had barely stepped on the track when the rear of the engine struck him, knocked him down be- tween the tracks and ran over his body.
 The engine which killed him was No. 943 and was in charge of Engineer Beas- ley. It was impossible for the engineer to see the man standing on the track, and he did not know of the accident until it was over.
 Several people standing near Kleiber saw the danger he was In and called to him to get out of the way, but the noise of the lever car prevented his hearing them or the engine which was approach ing.
 The remains were carried to Warner Smiley undertaking establishment where they were prepared for interment, which will take place this morning at 10 o'clock in the Southsde Catholic cemetery.
 Mr. Kleiber lived at 2S23 Avenue l and had large family. He leaves a widow, three sons and two daughters. One of the sons is an employe of the louisville and Nashville railroad and another of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. The remains were removed to the residence late yesterday afternoon. The deceased would have been 62 years old today had he lived, and his family was preparing to celebrate the occasion. For number of years he has been em- ployed about the depot and was familiar ly known as Uncle Jimmy" He has been in Birmingham for a long time and was one of the early corners to the city when it first started.

 Yesterday large number of witnesses were produced among them being tele- graph operators and telephone men and other experts in electrical work. Some of the telegraph operators said that they received shocks at their instruments ev- cry day of their lives, but that they never felt any i'll effects from them.
 The telephone men explained the mechanism of the telephone and explain ed how shocks could be received and how strong the current of electricity was that is required to operate the instru- ments.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

While 1t is impossible to gleam definite information as to the amount of iron be- ing shipped or the price obtained, it is freely said among the manufacturers that the present outlook is somewhat brighter than it was four weeks ago. One man ufacturer said yesterday that orders were coming in and that the railroad company could not furnish cars enough to relieve the pressure under which he was labor ing. There is no doubt but what foreign markets are being sought for Alabama iron and steel, as for the past two months the inquiry for ocean rates to foreign ports have been exceedingly numerous. The manufacturers are naturally very re- ticent regarding the export movement. However, it is known that in answer to inquiries an exceedingly low rate has been quoted to Liverpool and rates to points in Spain, Holland, Germany and France have been asked for.

RAILROAD WORLD.

Some important changes were made in the dspatchers room of the Louisville and Nashville railroad yesterday. Hither- to it has been the practice to break the dispatching work between this city and Montgomery at Calera, but under the newly inaugurated system the Gaera break will be done away with. This change necessitates the removal of three men. J. A. Roth of the south end goes to the north end, while E. J. Smith and T. Davitt will be transferred to the new branch of the Alabama Mineral between Newcastle and Littleton.
 J. F Douglas, general agent of the Colorado Southern railway with office in New Orleans, was in the city yesterday.
 Robert Fife, commercial agent for the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad with headquarters in Atlanta, is in the city.
 The arrests made at the union passen- ger station for splitting on the floor has brought about change in the cleanliness of that place. More arrests were made yesterday.
 The New Orleans Picayune of Novem- Der IS, says:
 Fourth Vice President J. M. Culp of the Southern railway said yesterday that he could announce nothing relative to the entrance of the Southern into New Or- leans, this being out of the line with his work, which concerned traffic. Regard ing conditions, Mir. Culp said that cotton was a little late In coming in, but that considerable improvement had been ap- parent in the shipments of pig iron. The falling off in the shipments of this. which were noted some time ago, is now almost thing of the past. and there has been steady improvement in the volume of business done in this commodity.
 The lumber business, which the lumber men claim has fallen off on account of rates being advanced. was declared by MT. Culp not to be falling off. General conditions are very good. as Is shown by a steady increase in the earnings of the road
 Mr. Culp would not discuss anything which involved the entrance of the South ern into New Orleans, but he admitted that the Southern had excellent river fa- clities for export here if it choose ever to use them.
 A special to the New Orleans Picayune, dated November 1T, from Pensacola says:
 Chief Engineer H. P. Farrsr of the Memphis and Gulf road reached Penss- cola last night. coming from Memphis, where he started out party of survey ors. He came here to give some instruc- tions to the surveyors, who are now al work at this end of the line, locating the permanent route of the road. He stated today that the surveyors would spend one week in Pensacola, making surveys of the various streets through which the tracks would run. and would then start out through the country. He also gave out the information that the present road bed of the Pensacola, Alabama and Ten nessee road, which has been acquired by purchase, would be utilized by the Mem- phis and Gulf road, and. therefore. no surveying would be necessary this side of Muscogee, thirty miles distant. 1Ie in- tends having the survey completed by January 10.

Two women in the Broard street sta
ton waiting room afforded much
amusement to those in their vicinity
by fight over the possession Of
rocking-chair One woman was seated
in a rocking chair, with her feet on
the lowest round of another in front
of her which was piled with packages.
Another woman came up and laid her
hand on the back of the vacant chair,
and asked that the packages be re-
moved.
'eYou can't have this chair. I'm hold.
ing it for another lady, who's gone out
to the telephone" said the seated wo-
man.
The other made no answer, but gave
the chair jerk, which hastily deposit
ted the packages on the floor and al
most threw the seated woman of her
chair.
Then ensued a pulling contest, In
which the first woman came out VIC
torious, having wrested the chair from
the hands of the newcomer After an
exchange of few choice epithets, the
vanquished one crossed over to the
other side of the room, where another
unoccupied rocker stood, and, apparent
ly unabashed by the comments of those
around her, began to arrange her toi-
let. which had been somewhat dish
eveled by her tussle.-Philadelph
