 SCRAPE IN SALOON
MEN WHO ARE SAID TO WORK AT SOUTHERN SHOPS QUARREL ABOUT WATCH AND ONE CUTS OTHERS THROAT.

In trouble said to have occurred about a watch. a man whose name Is given as Neal. or McNenl, had his throat cut by James Wilcox Saturday night in McVay' s saloon at gis Second avenue. No arrests were made, but Wilcox telephoned the police last night that he worked at the so,.tbern shops and that he would come to iail this morning and make bond.
 Policemen McCallum and Richardson were near the saloon at the time, and the man who was cut passed both of them, but they did not know of the affair and did not arrest him. The account given the police was that Neal took a watch from Wilcox and refused to return 1t, although Wilcox asked for it a number of times. Finally so the police state, Neal abused Wilcox and threatened to kill him, whereupon the latter drew a knife and cut Nears throat almost from ear to ear.
 Wilcox went through the rear of the saloon and Neal came out the front, passing the two policemen. He covered inc cut in his throat with his hand kerchief and neither of the officers saw any evidence of the blood. A witness stated that both men worked at the Southern shops.

 The negro was bitten about two months ago by mad dog. and showed signs of hydrophobia last Tuesday Since that time the negro has not touched naouthfm of water or food. He lies on the floor muttering and grooming and at times making a noise similar to that of barking dog. He also shows his teeth and grits them morning noon and night.
 Physicians are unabie 10 do anything to relieve the man. He failed to secure treatment until too late to make it pos- sihle to save him. The negro seems not to be dangerous, and several physicians have visited him without fear.

 AT MERCY OF THE CITY

Yesterday morning sine was brought into the city by q countryman who lives be- yon.s Sand mountain and left at the jail Yesterday she gave her name as Ella Roberts, and claimed that her husband, John Roberts, has forsaken her. She tells pitlful story of trouble for the past twelve months. She said:
 T was married to Mr. Roberts about five years ago and have two children One, a boy about years old is not with me. We came to Birmingham about two years ago from near Atlanta About nine months ago my husband left me and I don't know where he Is. I worked in the laundries and other places for a long

time, and finally found a home in the country across the mountain. Last week the people with whom l have been living said that they could not keep me any longer and a man brought me to the city yesterday in his wagon.
 T will take my baby and try to find work tomorrow. cant work out as there is no one to take care of the baby and I will have to get in a family. l was in the poor house here a while, but do not want to go back there. If I had money enough I would go back to my father near Atlanta l want to go to the country again."
 Warden Rittenberry sent her to the mayors office yesterday, but no one was there and she came back. He does not know what to do with her, but has given her one of the rooms in the department set aside for a hospital.

and low moan which Is pitful to hear.
 The negro was carried to the jail last Wednesday afternoon, and has been the subject of much interest and more fear among the other prisoners ever since. Every one around the jail fears to have anything to do with him, and he lies in a cell by himself, slowly starving to a death which Is certain to come.
 Efforts have been made to catch some thing of what he was saying. but his words are jumbled up and cannot be recognized. This Is one of the few cases of hydrophobia in Birmingham in a num- Der of years. Gradually he is getting thinner and thinner from his forced star vation. and his death seems only matter of hours. It seems wonderful that he has lived so long. although physicians state that he may live several days yet. Men have been known to go much longer with out food but rarely have they been weak ened by convulsions such as this negro suffers
