NEGRO COLLEGE WILL
 PROBABLY COME HERE
Committee of Freedman's Aid Society Return to Cincinnati-WasP Pleased
 With Birmingham.

The committee of six from the Freed men's Aid and Southern Educational so- ciety has returned to Cincinnati. While the committee has not made known it's decision as to the locality for the negro industrial college. it is said Birmingham will be the place.
 The committee visited Annlston yester- day morning and returned in time to take the train later in the day for Gin cinnati. Bishop Walden did not take the trip to Anniston, and this is thought to mean that he was entirely satisfied with Birmingham as the place for the college.
 The committee will probably reach a decision in regard to the location of the college within a few days. The members were shown every courtesy while in Blr- mingham. and were much impressed with the city.

Labor Day Celebration VIII
 Eclipse Previous Efforts
MUCH MONEY BEING SPENT
Collision of Two Enenes Running Thlrty-flve Mllee an Hour at Far crounde VIII Draw
 Large Crowd.

Every effort Is being made to have the Labor Day celebration this year eclipse anything of the kind that has been held 1 in the state.
 The committee in charge has arranged some very unique entertainment feat ures and much money is being spent 10 make the day a success.
 The most exciting of the days amuse- ments will be the collision at the fair grounds of two engines running thirty i've miles an hour. One who is especially interested in this attraction contributes the following:
 Head End Collision.
 .aWho shall run the engines in the great bead-end collision on September ' next? That Is the all absorbing question. Alter much debate it has been decided that the engineers selling the largest number or tickets to the performance shall pull the throttles in the most exciting, thrill- ing and unparalleled railway collision ever witnessed in Alabama. Each mem Der of the order of Locomotive Engineers in the state of Alabama is striving to win the hazardous honor. Baseball loot- ball. horse races boat races, and other sports are all mild indeed in contrast with the event which will startle with untold interest the fifty thousand yisi- tors who will gather in our city to see never to- be-forgotten spectacle
 'Imaglne yourself seated at safe dis i tance, say two hundred and fifty feet, from a point at which two mad, pom derous snorting, terrible, belching loco- motives rush against each other. long track Is before you; each engineer boldly takes his seat; each grasps the throttle; at signal they start, thousand flags wave, the spectators are wonder-striek- en; they look aghast The bells ring, the whistles blow; they rush on their destructive course, and as they near each other ready to grapple in their deadly embrace, we shall wait with bated breath the terrible crash which follows.
 The Brave Engineers.
 "Where are the brave engineers? There they are swinging and dropping from their flying iron horses; tho escape un- hurt, but those gigantic horses rush on fast, still faster They speed on, twenty, thirty miles an hour, they reach thirty five, the earth trembles they hurl them selves against each other in one awful roar. they act like panting, wild. fren- zied animals they destroy themselves before our eyes; nothing remains of those two engines but a large mass of junk.
 sfrf4- 5000 will convey a feeble idea of the ex- pense attached to this magnificent, awe inspiring demonstration of human skill bravery, ingenuity and spectacular l grandeur.

CONDEMNED NEGRO
 MAY BE PARDONED
JUDGE DAN A. GREENE QUES- TONS FELIX HALL-HALL'S COUNSEL IS NOW PREPARED TO PROVE AN ALlBI.

Judge Dan A. Greene of the Criminal court questioned Felix Hall yesterday for an hour. Hall is the negro who was con- yicted of the murder of Norwood Clark at Ensley and was sentenced to be hanged.
 Charles Denegre, who was appointed to defend the negro, states that he can now prove an alibi and to give him an oppor- unity. Governor Jellxs granted the prls- oner a reprieve for sixty days.
 The crime was committed on October 2. 1900 and Foreman Williams of the De- laney Construction company. says that he will make affidavit that the negro was working for him in Louisiana on that date. MT. Oenegre will probably bring MT. Williams to Birmingham to satisfy Judge Greene on this point. If Judge Greene becomes convinced that the wrong man has been convicted a pardon will then be issued by Governor Jelks.

SOUTHERN CAR AND FOUNDRY.
Outlook for Resumption of Work Is
 Not Very Bright.

A telegram which was received yester- day by Col. Thcyas G. Bush, puts a rather gloomy as }ct on Southern Car and Foundry matters. The prospects now for an early resumption of work in the plants of the company are not flat tering to say the least.
 Thomas A. Gillespie. who Is co-receiver with Col. Bush in the bankruptcy pro- ceedings against the company in this dis trict, has wired from New York. He says that unexpected obstacles have aris- en, Some of the parties interested seem indisposed to pursue the course which the receivers hoped would be followed and as consequence matters are at a standstill and the outcome Is uncertain.
