VIRGINIA COKE Is
 NOW COMING HERE About 2O,0OO Tons Are Sold
 To This District LOCAL MINING SITUATION Furnace Operators and Miners Are Yet Far Apart-Joint Scale Com
 mittee Will Not Meet Again
 Till Specially Called.
LOCAL MINING SITUATION

The United Mine Workers and furnace operators have not yet been able to agree on a wage scale.
 The joint scale committee of miners and operators did not meet yesterday. and there will probably be no further meet ings this week When it met Tuesday both sides were as far apart as ever. The com mittee adjourned without day. with the agreement that a meeting would be called at the request of any member.
 With the exception of the Woodward Iron company, which always acts inde- pendent of the other operators, no iron furnace concern has signed a scale. The sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company will keep its four Birmingham furnaces and one or two of it's Sheffield furnaces in blast indefinitely, regardless of the sus- pension of work at its union mines. Presi- dent Maben of the Sheffield has Will be laid down in this district cheaper, 1t is said. than the locuf quotations. The Lacey-Buek company has also bought 5000 tons of Virginia, and it is reported that enc or two other furnace companies have made large purchases of coke.
 Coke is quoted at Pocahontas at s1,1O. and this price may be shaded. The sales of Virginia coke for Birmingham con sumption have amounted within the past few days to something like 20,QO0 tons.
 Nearly all of the commercial operators have signed a scale agreement, and their mines give employment to about 5000 Uni ted Mine Workers.

MINING ACCIDENTS
 TABULATED BY GRAY
FORTY KILLED AND FORTY-TWO INJURED DURING FIRST HALF OF YEAR-MINES IN GOOD CON- OPTION.

A table of the casualties in the mines of Alabama, compiled by the chief mine inspector, J. M. Gray, shows the condition of the mines to be in exceptionally fine condition, as nearly all of the casualties are shown to have been due to earelessness upon the part of the miners.
 The table covers the first six months of the year, and makes a very gratifying showing for the inspectors. Assistant h. spectors James Hillhouse and M. M. Kuff- ner have been diligent in their duties in inspecting the mines. taking especial pre- caution to see that explosives were prop erly used and the danger to human life lessened
 The total number of deaths by accident during the first six months of the year was 40. distributed by months as follows: January II, February 10, March 8, April 6. May 3, June ?. Twenty-four of the fatali- ties were caused by falling of rock, eight by blasting, five by tram cars and two were classed as miscellaneous. There were forty-two accidents not fatal during the period. Of these twenty-one were from falling rock. eighteen from blasting, three from tram cars and one from hauage rope. None of the accidents resulted in large loss of life, the worst one being that at Hargroye on February 26, when three men were killed from windy shots.
 Chief Inspector Gray is of the opinion that the output of coal this year will be materially increased over last year pro- vided there is not to long a delay in ar- ranging the differences between the min CTS and some of the operators. He has not made up the total of the coal mined during the first six months, but estimates 1t at about 60O0,Ooo tons. This would in- dicate a total production for the year of 100000. or an increase of something like 300 900 tons oyer last year.

BIG ATTRACTION
 FOR THE JUBILEE
RED MEN HAVE SECURED PROF. MINDLER TO PERFORM AT EAST LAKE ON JULY 12 HIS GREAT AQUATIC FEAT.

The management of the Red Mems jubilee, which will be held at East Lake July 12 have secured as an attraction for that day Prof. T. Mindler, who is now en route to the fair at St. Louis but will remain in Birmingham long enough to give one of his daring acquatic feats.
 Prof. Mindler will present at the lake the Monte Cristo act. The audience is requested to select a committee which will bind the performer head and foot. He will then be placed in a sack and sewed up, after which he will be se- curely nailed up in a barrel, which will be equipped with weights sufficient to sink it to the bottom of the lake. The barrel will then be taken to the center of the lake and will be sunk with it's occupant. When next seen Mindler will shake hands with the committee on the shore.
 This trick will be given at St. Louis and will be one of the leading features of the Red Mems jubilee at the lake.

He removed a portion of the skull behind the left ear and relieved the pressure of the clotted blod, which had accumulated under the skull. While there was fracture, the bone was not indented and it did not bear on the brain, but the concussion had caused a rupture of some small blood vessels which had coagulated

DESTITUTE WOMAN
 ON PILE OF RAGS
FOUND IN VACANT HOUSE AT 1712 AVENUE H IN GREAT DISTRESS. ASSISTANCE WILL BE REM DERED HER AT ONCE.

Miss Mary Norton, white woman about 40 years old. was found yesterday morn- ing lying on pile of rags in a vacant house at TIP Avenue II without food and without clothing. Policeman Whaley, who was detailed on charitable work several months ago. made an investigation of the case, and says 1t Is by far the most pitt full he has found in six months.
 The woman is a native of Ireland and claims that she is a Catholic, but has not been able to attend church. Policeman Whaley took the matter up with some of the members of the Catholic church in the city, and also with the board of revenue for the purpose of having her placed in the almshouse Some disposition of the case will be made today.
 For some time she had been lying on pile of rags weeping day and night From time to time something to eat has been carried her by people living in the neigh borhood who state that she has erica almost without stopping for several days and nights.
 Policeman Whaley, as an assistant tc the United Charities, has accomplished 4 great deal of good. Not only has he aided many needy families, but he has also cfo- tected many charitable people from the inroads of a number of people who are systematic beggars, and who are not en- titled to charity.
 Yesterday afternoon the policeman said:
 "Six months ago there were about eight families which were living on charity alone, and who were not worthy of it. IT. one or two instances there were able bodied men who would get food from the United Charities and trade it off for whis- ky leaving their families to want and suffering. All of these have been mace to go to work, and half dozen other systematic begfars have been sent out of the city. The last one of these was given a ticket yesterday to get her out of town. She was perfectly able to work, but simply would not do anything as long as the people would give her food and cloth- ing.
 'I have also been at work trying to have women of douttfu character moved from the best residence portions of the city, and to a great extent have been suc- cessful. About twenty to thirty of these women have been made to move out of respectable localities. and others have been forced to leave the city. These char ity and other cases are worked very mucn on the plan of Judge Feagin with the little negro boys. I visit all the charity cases and also the women regularly, and see that they are carrying out the instruc- tions given them.
 in the city, and this plan of Chief Wiers seems to be working out for the best. It prevents the making of many arrests in the cases of the women and when the charities are concerned 1t has saved many person or family from suffering for food. clothing and the necessities of life"

When the blood was removed the wound was bandaged up again. and the patient has been in a semi-eonscious condition ever since. Death may result from the eoncussion or fever may set in which will have a fatal result. It will probably be two or three days before the physicians wiu be able to tell definitely as to the re- suit.
 When Leatherwood was first carried to the hospital and in fact for some time after hesarrived there it was not thought that the wound was serious as there was no distinct evidence of a fracture. But several hours later the serious condition became apparent.
 No new facts in regard to the trouble came to light yesterday with the excep- tion that Attorney Denson explained how he happened to have the piece of pipe in his hand. He stated that he was carry ing it home to do some repairing about the house, and not with the intention of hitting Mir Leatherwood.

Held Three Years for Inquiries.

An action brought by the Bohemian
town of Deutsch-Landsberg against
the Bohemian PROVINCIAL authoritie;
revealed the astonishing fact that a
tramp named Waselowsky had been
kept In the local prison for three
years while inquiries as to his Identity
were being made.
In this country the parish authori-
ties of the place where a man is born
are responsible for the cost Of paro-
chial relief or Imprisonment anywhere
else.
Waselowsky presumably found the
prison at Deutsch-Landsberg to his
taste, refused all information as to his
origin, and was detained by the paro-
chial authorities for inquiries three
whole years without any result.
They now claimed, but unsuccess-
fully, the cost of his keep from the
provincial authorities.
