NEW HIGH SCHOOL
 IS NOT IN SIGHT
COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT, BUT PROPOSITION TO SUBMIT CUES. TON OF BONDS TO VOTERS WILL PROBABLY BE DROPPED.

The city council will meet in regular session tonight at 730 o'clock, but there is not much bushes of importance to be transacted.
 It may be that the question of sub hitting a proposition to the voters of the city as to whether the city shall issue bonds to build a new high school will come before the council at it's meeting There seems to be a general feeling, however, that this matter is liable to be dropped indefinitely. It Is claimed by some that the citizens of Birmingham have been too apathetic in the matter and have not manifested enough interest in the question of a new high school to justify further action by the council.
 The original ordinance introduced pro- vided for submitting the question of a $l00,000 bond issue, and by the conserva- tive men who are most interested In the matter this Is considered an entirely in- adequate sum to build a high school that would fill the requirements of Birming- ham and the Birmingham District.
 They argue that if the right kind of high school building were erected in this city 1t would be able to command an at tendance of between twelve and fifteen hundred students. It would be so graded and would do such superior work that 1t would be looked up to by the whole state

CORONER MAY JET
 SOME EXTRA FEES Judge C. w. Ferguson Renders
 Important Decree THE BOARD OF REVENUE Judge Directs County Treasurer to Pay Coroner Paris the Costs of ln-
 quest Held Over ]. ].
 Flowers.

Judge c. W. Ferguson of the city court rendered decree yesterday which will probably have the effect of making the office of coroner of Jefferson county a much more important and lucrative posi- ton than it has heretofore been.
 The decree was in the form of writ of mandamus against the county treasurer directing him to pay Coroner w. F. Paris the costs of the inquest held over J. J. Flowers at Bessemer.
 The board of revenue, which has for several years been passing on the itemized expense account of the coroner and order ing certain parts of it paid, refused to di- rect the treasurer to pay the cost of the inquest over Flowers Coroner Paris then filed a petition for a writ of mandamus directing the treasurer to pay the costs in this particular case.
 Wlll Increas3 Fees.
 It was brought more as a test case than for any other reason. and since the cor oner's contention has been sustained in the matter. it is well known that many similar cases are handled by that officer and if he is to receive costs in each case his fees will be very materially increased
 The decision of Judge Ferguson yester day was not in the nature of 8 writer opinion, but was simply a decree for th' particular case under consideration, bu it is thought that the contention will holC in any other similar proceedings.
 The petitioner was represented in the matter by Richard Fl. Fries, Charles B urer H. B. Gray appeared before the court in person and offered to submit to what ever decree the court might render in the matter.
 Admitted in Contention.
 The counsel for the petitioner admitted in their contention that according to the act of 1S96 on the subject. the fees of the coroner for an inquest were to be paid out of the county treasury, whenever in the opinion of the board of revenue the inquest should have been held.
 They contended, however that this act was superseded by that of 1898, which pro- vided that the fees of the coroner should be paid out of the county treasury, when sworn to and itemized by the coroner himself. The petitioner maintained that this act deprived the board of revenue of all power and jurisdiction to pass on the coroner's fees.

PLATE SCALE CONFERENCE. Representatives of the Republic Go. and AmaIgamated Steel Conferrno.

The conference which is in progress be- tween representatives of the Republic Iron and Steel company and the Amalga- mated Association of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers was continued yesterday, but as yet no definite agreement has been reached.
 The representatives of both sides were working until late hour last night going over the figures that had been submitted at the sessions held during the day.
 It Is believed that the result of the con ference will be satisfactory to both sides. as the best of feeling seems to prevail.
 The object of the conference is to agree upon a wage scale to be put into effect a the Birmingham and ,Bessemer rolling mills in the plate departments. The men have not been working in these depart- ments since July l.

the bone was not set right and will have to be broken again so that the leg may be straight. It is feared that this will make him a cripple.
 Sergeant Litter served for many years in the British army under Lord Roberts in South Africa, and for thirteen years he has been in the United States army. He is considered one of the best non-com- missioned officers in the service and Troop c will lose a good man if he is forced to quit the army on account of the broken leg.

EXHAUST STEAM TO
 HEAT COURT HOUSE
ESTIMATED THAT COUNTY WILL SAVE $166 A MONTH BY CON- TRACT Win RAILWAY LIGHT AND POWER co.

The board of revenue of Jefferson coun- ty has made a contract with the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany to heat the courthouse and the county jail with steam for the next three the central heating plant of the com pany.
 The cost to the county according to the contract will be $166.66 per month for the board that this will be a saving of be- tween $500 and 5000 per year.
 There is already complete heating plant at the courthouse for the two buildings, but 1t was felt that since the saving was so great the contract should be entered into.
 There was a running race yesterday af- ternoon, and this was another addition which was well received, as it is the first since the fair opened. The dash was for half mile and was won by Cherry Prince with Gold Star second and Tom Paden third. The place horse lead all the way around the track until the back stretch was reached, when he shied to the outer fence and lost fifty feet, but in the stretch he gained all this back and was only beaten by a nose.
 Cavalry Drill.
 At the cavalry exhibit last night an en- tirely new set of maneuvers were gone through and some of them proved to be better and more thrilling than the pre- ceding ones. The grandstand was packed for the night performance of the cavalry, and the fireworks, while at the same time the midway was doing a rushing business. A rather remarkable thing occurred in the first race of the afternoon. In the first heat Benigne was first, Little Raven second, Elkin Girl third and Prince fourth, and In the remaining heat the horses fin- ished in exactly the same order This Is something which does not happen often, as in nearly every race the horses finish different in each heat.
 Racing Results.
 Clara took the first heat in the sec- ond race, but was never able to catch Pattie Ledyard in the concluding heats, that mare winning the second, third and fourth heats easily.
 The results were:
 First race, 2:2O trot, purse $400, best three in five heats
