YESTERDAY A QUIET
 DAY IN THE COURTS
There Was Not Case Filed in Any of the Courts of the
 County.

In view of the crowded condition of the dockets of Jefferson county's courts and the remarkable rate at which the number of cases have been increasing, 1t is a notable fact that there was not case filed yesterday.
 No paper of any sort was filed in the Circuit, the City or the Chancery court of the county and only one small bank ruptcy matter in the United States court.
 In the Probate court there was not a marriage license issued nor was there a real estate transfer recorded in which more than 5000 was involved.
 It not infrequently occurs that nothing is filed in some one of the courts, but 1t is exceedingly rare to find a day when there is nothing doing in any of them.
 The number of cases filed has been get ting smaller from day to day for the past two or three weeks and the decrease will continue up to the time the courts con vene, which will be during the latter part of this month and the first of October.

WILL JONES IS NOW
 IN COUNTY JAIL
WAS REcAPTURED YESTERDAY IN CORDOVA-NEGRO ESCAPED FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY JAIL NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO.

Will Jones, alias Will Lacy, negro criminal who has been at large for nearly two years, was recaptured at Cordova yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriffs Will Cole and John Burgin.
 The negro was confined in the Jefferson county jail on the charge of burglary and grand larceny He resisted arrest and was Shot by Deputy Sheriff Cole ft that time, and was wounded in the thigh. He was placed In the hospital, and as 1t vas thought he was unable to move the door was left open.
 On November A. 1901, he crawled out and in some way sealed the high wall which encloses the jail yard. and he has been at large since that time.
 The deputies learned he was at Cor dova, and night before last they shad- owed the house in which he was said to live. Yesterday morning they were start ing for the train to return to Birmingham when they met the negro in an alley near the station.
 Deputy Cole recognized him at once. and the negro recognized the man who had shot him once before by saying. "Hello MT. Cole" He offered no resis- tance on this occaslon,, and was rearrest- ed and confined in jail again yesterday. The specific charge on which the negro was originally arrested was the larceny of a gold watch from a negro woman at Dolcito.

 ment-Large Attendance.

The southern iron committee held meeting at the Hotel Hillman yesterday for the purpose among other things of fixing rates and considering the request of the iron manufacturers for reduc- tion of 50 cents per ton in the iron freight rates. The meeting adjourned without taking any action, it is said

Moody manager of the Alabama Car Service as- sociation, who was chairman of the com mittee.- stated that he would notify the iron operators within day or two, but until then there was nothing to give out. From another source it was learned that no action on the iron rate had been taken. prominent traffic man stated it was the general opinion expressed by those in in- terest that the reduction in the rate on pig iron asked for would be made within the next few weeks, as 1t seems to be generally acknowledged that some such action Is advisable in order to move the large tonnage now on the yards in the Birmingham district.

LARGE STATUE MAY
 BE MADE OF IRON
COMMERCIAL CLUB APPOINTS A COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE FOR SUITABLE DISTRICT ExHIBITAT ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

At the meeting of the Commercial club yesterday afternoon a committee of ff- teen prominent citizens was appointed by President Jackson to see if it is practica- ble for the Birmingham district to raise enough money for an exhibit at the St. Louis exposition.
 The committee is to report at the next meeting of the club. It Is desired to raise as much os s15.OOO If possible. The mo- tion was made by Joseph Beitman and followed the report of the committee ernor Jelks would sign an appropriation for a state exhibit.
 This committee consisted of Fred M Jackson, R. N. Rhodes Jones G. Moore O. P. Gaut and R. M Goodall. It reported that the governor would not give any satisfaction and that 1t was not thought he would sign the appropriation. Seeing that there was practically no chance for a state exhibit the Commercial club has decided to get up district exhibit if pos- sible The committee named consists of F. M. Jackson. J. H. Adams, Joseph Belt man, T. G. Bush. George H. Clarke, James MacKnight, R. M. Goodall, R. N. Rhodes. w. P. G. Harding, Robert Jemison, w. H. Kettig, F. H. Lathrop, Jones G. Moore, J. W. Mcqueen and Charles McCrery
 It has been suggested by James Mac Knight that an iron statue of large pro- portions be made in the Birmingham dis tfict and sent to ornament the manufact- uring building of the fair. He said that this would be novel and effective DOT ton of the exhibit It will cost about 5000 and the committee will consider It.

CONSUMERS ARE
 FIRM ON PRICES
BUYING IS NOW CHIEFLY FOR
 QUICK DELWERY--FURNA
 ARE PRODUCING LARGE ouAN- TITlEs OF THE LOWER GRADES.

Rogers Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular of yesterdays date says:
 Inquiries for pig iron during the past week have continued at about the same rate as previously, with possibly more sales in the aggregate. The policy of con- sumers has been clearly developed to buy for immediate shipment mostly. and it is apparent that many of them are running with very small stocks
 Requests for quick delivery accompany the orders. and 1t frequently happens that the furnaces are not in condition to rush the iron as required. As usual, at thIs sea- son of the year. the furnaces are produc- ing larger proportion of the lower dry and soft irons. Buyers have heard so much about the increased output tha. they have supposed there would be no difficulty In getting anything that was needed without delay, and inconvenience is being suffered in some instances be- cause purchases have been unduly de- ferred. With the approach of the custo- mary fall car shortage 1t is probable that from this time forward foundries will be hampered unless their orders are placed from thirty to sixty days in advance of the time that the iron will be needed There are large transactions pending. but the furnace companies are not will- ing to meet the views of the consumers.

 MT. Cullen was in charge of the same work with the telephone company in Richmond and later in Atlanta. He ex- poets to be here for the next year or two.
