surely acquitted themselves like heroes,
and the manner in which each one passed

WAS IT A PLAN TO KILL?
lmprovlsed Dagger Found Under Me-
 gro's Pillow at City Jail.

What Is thought to have been a negro's intention to kill Mack Rittenberry, war den of the city jail, has ben discovered and 1t is believed the discovery was bare ly made in time to prevent serious re- suits.
 Several days ago Warden Rittenberry had some trouble with Josh Lowry, a negro, and he was watching for the ne- gro to attempt to injure him In some manner. The negro became sick and was placed In the hospital room, where he stayed two or three days.
 When the physician pronounced him we'll Alex Rittenberry, a brother of the warden went mp to the hospital and with several negroes from jail moved the ne- gro back to the regular cells. Under the pillow which was on the bed was found a daggar. made from pair of scis- sors, very mean weapon.
 The two blades had been broken apart and the handles of them had been wrap ped together with twine so as to form hand hold. One of the blades of the scissors protruded about five or six inches beyond this improvised handle. It is believed the nesuo was preparing to stab Warden Rittenberry the first time he went to the hospital and to make his escape in the confusion

PANAMA SITUATION
 IS THE SOLE TO. IC
SECRETARY HAY LAYS BEFORE CABINET THE PROTEST OF CO., LoMBIA, BUT NO DEFINITE Ac- TON IS TAKEN.

Washington, November 17.-Practically only one subject. the Panama situation, was considered at today's session of the cabinet. Secretary Hay laid before the President and cabent the protest of the action of the United States sent to the senate by President Maroquin of the gov- ernment of Colombia. The protest, which went into the hands of Senator Frye, as president pro tenn of the senate, was turned over by him to the secretary of state, as the senate cannot receive peti- tions or protests from foreign govern ment.
 No decision has yet been reached wheth- CT the document will be formally receiv- ed or not That will lie finally with the President himself. The nature and the terms of the treaty to be made between the United States and the republic of Panama for the construction of the canal were discussed at length, but no state- ment of these terms will be made public
 Brief reference during the session of the cabinet was made to the case in- volving the indictment of Senator Diet rich of Nebraska for alleged accepting of a money consideration for the appoint ment of a postmaster at Hastings, Neb., and the senator's demand for the sum- mary removal from office of United States District Attorney Summers, be- tween whom and Senator Dietrich a po- litical feud has existed for a long time, but no action 1t isl understood. was de- termined upon.
 Attorney General Knox remained with the President for some time after the ad- journment of the meeting. One of the subjects discussed by the President and attorney general, 1t is understood, re- lated to the postal Investigation, Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow being present a part of the time.

ARRESTED BY NEGROES.
Alex Robertson Uses Pistol Freely In. censing Members of His Own Race.

Alex Robertson, a negro, was brought Into the sherins office yesterday by four other negroes and he was locked up in the county jail charged with assault with intent to murder and carrying con- cealed weapons.
 It seems the negro shot and danger ously wounded Maggie Hayden, a negro woman in Honeycutt's camp. one of the camps for the grading of the Seaboard Air Line about fifteen miles from Bir- mingham.
 It Is a source of much qualification to the sheriff's office that the malefactor was arrested by members of his own race. The men in the camp were so in- censed over the shooting which took place last Sunday that they threatened to use Robertson violently.
 He is said to have walked up to a crowd of negro men and women and asked to borrow b cents. No one would lend it to him, until Maggie Hayden finally handed it to him and asked him when he would pay 1t back. Ee threw ten-dollar bill to her and the wind blew it to one side and it was picked up by one of the men. He came back shortly afterward and demanded his money and shot at one of the men, and then turned on Maggie Hayden and shot her in the side.
 It is thought she will recover.

 The existence of this special law was a surprise to State Insurance Commits sioner E. R. McDavid It was brought to his attention by the officers of the com pany, who cited it to show why they should not be compelled to pay the l per cent. required of other companies and demanded by the insurance commissioner
 Commissioner McDavid has asked the opinion of Attorney General Massey Will son as to the constitutionality of the law
 The act is entitled. An Act to incor- porate the Union Central Relief Associa- tion." The title says nothing about re- lieving the company from taxation, but such a provision Is contained in the body of the bill. For this reason there is doubt as to the consttutionality of the act
 The company does not differ from the other negro benefit associations, the mem- bers of which pay 10 cents a week, re- ceiving in case of sickness $2.50 week, and in case of death the expenses of the funeral
 When the last insurance law was passed there were between two and three dozen of these negro companies in operation. The new law requires each of the compa- nies to deposit 5000 with the insurance commission. So far eight of the compa- there Is probability that two more will comply The rest of them were put out of business by the 5000 clause in the in- suranee law

Four residences in Avondale were de- stroyed by fire this morning between l2 and l o'clock. The loss will be in the neighborhood of s5.oOO with very little insurance.
 The fire originated in q store room ad- joining the boarding house of Mrs. Hay den and this was destroyed before any thing except a little furniture on the first floor could be saved. Everyone in the house escaped. but none of the boarders were able to save much of their cloth Ing or personal effects.
 Owing to the brisk wind the fire spread rapidly and three small residences west of the boarding house were destroyed In rapid succession. They were the property Of Dr. Batchelor. and 1t Is understood he carried small insurance on them. Very little was saved from the furniture and household effects of those living in the houses.
 An effort was made to get the fire de- partment from Birmingham to go to Avondale, but there were not sufficient water connection and by the time the department could have arrived the fire was out
