BESSEMER JURY
 DENOUNCE MORROW Very Much Wrought Up Over
 Passage of Court Bill
TAKES AWAY CIVIL CASES
Grand Jury Asks Permission of Judge Jones to Read a Resolution, and Words Are Not Minced
 By the Writer.

Bessenrer, September 30.-(Special) )-The grand jury of the Bessemer City court adjourned this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, to reconvene on the 18th of November One hundred and seventy-seven cases were docketed, but only fifty bills were returned at this session, the others will be voted on at the next session. After the jury had made it's report and had been discharged by Judge Jones they asked that they might be permitted to read a resolution that they had adopted relative to the legislature passing an act allowing civil cases to be removed from the Bessemer court to the Birmingham courts. The resolution was in part de- nunciation of Senator Hugh Morrow, the Jefferson senator, and those who were instrumental in securing the passage of the bill to transfer civil cases to Birming- ham. It commended in strong terms the action of Senator Rodgers and others who fought to prevent the passage of the bill. The resolution intmates that some of the champions of the bill were fighting for their own interests. It also sets forth the loss that will be incurred upon the 
 said act. It is such an unusual thing for grand jury to take such action as was taken by this one that it has created sensation in and around Bessemer.
 The resolution is signed by the entire grand jury. It is understood that this action was purely voluntary on the part of the jury, without any suggestion from anyone on the outside
 Solicitor J. A. Estes was not in the room at the time and, it is said, that he knew nothing of the proposed action and that he took no part in framing the res olution.
 The consttutionality of the act will be argued before Judge B. c. Jones of the Bessemer City court next Saturday after noon. The entire Bessemer bar will rep resent Bessemers interests. It is said that they are unit on the question and that is the concensus of opinion among them that the act is unconstitutional

the weight question and finally coming
to terms Harry Forbes, bantam cham
pion of America and Andy Tokell the
English bantam, along with the West
End Club of St. Louis, where the
match is to be pulled off, are split up
on who shall referee the bout. Forbes
and Tokell have agreed on George
Siler but the club refused to allow
any one but a st. Louis man to fill
the place. So far the question is still
in dispute and unless the club comes
to the fighters desire, the match may

for Feb. 26.
It appears a positive fact that
Young Corbett wants none of the box

pretty certain to beat Attell, and as
he has promised Yanger the first fight

the winner of the Wilson-Raedy glove
contest in Augusta, on the night of

from New York.
This of course, is providing the WIN

Raedy has also expressed a desire to
meet Collier, as he says he is anxious
to show the people of Savannah that
he is not a fakir or a gutter, as has
been charged against him in his match
with James Handler several weeks
ago. Wilson has not been commun-
Gated with, but it is probable he will
accept the match should he defeat
Raedy. Collier is a good one, and
match with either of the two men,
toned men should prove a drawing
