BRAVE MEMS WORK
CREW OF STEAMER NORTHEAST-
 ERN ARE RESCUED.
Vessel Stuck Fast In the Deadly Sands of Hatteras and IL is Said VIII
 Prove . Total Loss.

Norfolk. Va. Dec. 29.-After beine imprisoned on the wrecked oil steamer Northeastern. nine miles off Cape Hay teras for thirty-six hours. Captain WI. der and his crew of 21 men were tahe. ashore at noon today by the crews ., Kinnakeet. Creed's Hill ana life saving stations.
 The bir steamer is pounding on Dia' mona shoals under a terrific sea ano the crew say 1t will be total ioss' In A bewidering fog Tuesday night the Northeastern, on her way up the coast from Port Arthur, Texas, to New york with A cargo of crude petro- leum. showed her prov into the deadly sands off Hatteras and was fast In the clutches of the graveyard of ship ping before her crew realized what had happened
 This was at il o'clock and before day had come the gale that swept over inc country from the middle west had struck the sea and waves were crash ing over the helpless vessel incessant- ly.
 The force of the wind and tide threw her on her port beam and hoodwater had her fires out before her infiamma- ble cargo could become ignited. Had this not been the case. tho 22 men aboard the Northeastern would have met horrible fate.
 When morning dawned the wreck was sighted by the life saving stations and the weather observatory at Hat teras She was nine miles off shore and the water between was a seetnipg mass of mountainous waves. so that the life guards had to stand by and watch the big ship being pounded by the waves. as helpless to aid those on board as the crew was to aid itself.
 Wednesday night preparations were begun to make desperaate efforts in the morning to reach the ship. The crews from Creed's Hill and Kinnakeet stations were summoned and this morning at sun up the life savers be- gan their attempts to get surfboat through the heavy seas.
 Again and again the staunch life boats were sent head-on into the sea. only to be hurled back onto the beach. After a three-hour struggle, at 9 o'clock three lifeboats were safely across the breakers and battling with the outside seas on their way to the steamer.
 When the surfmen reached the wreck they were confronted with a problem of great danger and difficulty. The sea while 1t had subsided to some extent, was still in an angry mood, and the little lifeboats were being tossed about like cockleshells in the helpless mass of the sea. Lines were finally strung between the boats and the Northeast ern, and after much trouble every man was taken from the vessel in safety. The Northeastern was built of steel in Chicago in 1901 and owned by c. Councilman of Cincinnati. She Is 256 feet long, 42.02 feet beam and 26.5 depth.

RESCUED FROM DRUMELzIER.
Life Savers Take Crew on of wrecke,
 Steamer.

steamer.
 New York, Dec. 29.-With her sig nals of distress and her half masted ensign still flying, the steamer Drumel- zier was abandoned tonight as a total wreck by her captain and her dozen officers and crew. who were taken off the craft and landed on Oak Island by the crew of Fire Island and Oak Island life saving stations.
 Early in the day eighteen men were taken off the stranded steamer by the surf boat of the Sandy Hook station, which was lowed down to the scene. -The men were brought to this city later. Captain Nicholson, Chief Engi- neer Wood and the remainder of the of- ficers and crew decided to remain on board until officially notified that the vessel had been placed in the hands of the wrecking company, in order to obviate any claims of salvage.
 At 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon the captain decided that it was unwise to remain longer on the ship, which was being terribly buffeted by the heavy seas, and asked immediate rescue. The crews of the nearby stations responded to his signals and after a hard strug- gle the men were taken off and landed at Oak Island.

Attacks Inferior Court.

A petition for a writ of quo war ranto was filed in the office of the Clerk and Register of the City Court by Rich- ard l.. Williams. directed to J. H. Ben ners and H. B. Abernathy, judges Of the Inferior Court. calling upon them to show by what authority they hold and exercise the alleged offices.
 The writ alleges that the Legislature by an act passed on September 27. 1903 undertook to create the Inferior Court of Birmingham in lieu of the several offices of justices of the peace. nota- ries public and ex-offieio justices of the peace in precincts 21 and 37 In Jeffer- son County: that notice was not given of the intention to apply for the pass age of this law as required by Section l06 of the Constitution of Alabama. Also that the preamble of the act is deficient in not setting out all the mat ters found in the act MT. Williams was voted for at the election held on November last in Precinct 21, for the office of Justice of the Peace for the precinct.
 The County Board of Canvassers re- fused to certify the votes cast for Mir. Williams, whereupon he applied for writ of mandamus to certify to his vote He also attacked the constitu- tionality of the Inferior Court act. The matter was passed on by the Judge of the City Court compelling the Canvass ing Board to certify to the vote, but said nothing in regard to the constitu- tionality of the Inferior Court act and that is the object of the present pro- ceedings.

Will Filler Is the negro charged with throwing the dyna- mite.
 There were four cars loaded with convicts, three with county men and one with State convicts. The train had just left the mines. Filler was Tn the State car and with him were be- tween 100 and 1S0 convicts The dyna- mite blew out the rear door of the car
 Jay Dawkins. a negro sent up from tHenry County. was so badly Injured that he died in an hour. P. L. Pickett a guard. had one hand and leg so badly bruised that amputation will have to be resorted to and 1t will be fortunate IT his life can be saved. George Delaney, a railroad man. was knocked from the car and received badly sprained an- kie. Three convicts whose names could not be ascertained were injured. After the explosion. the train came to halt and guards from the other cars ran back to the State car and at the point of pistols and rifles held the con victs at bay until they could be safeiy landed in the prisons. Coroner Paris was notified. and went odt to the scene to make a full investigation into the matter.
 The negro accused of throwing the dynamite Is said to have made threat before and a piece of dynamite was found in the car. How he got hold or the dynamite last evening cannot DC surmised.

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail- road Company was awarded the con- tract today by the Board of Revenue of Jefferson County for the services of the county convicts for the next three years. There was sharp competition for this labor by the Tennessee Com pany. c. B. Mccormack and associates and the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. Three hundred convicts reg ularly are hired out by the county. The Tennessee Company made the fol- lowing bid: For all male convicts. Is years old and over, whose sentence for crime is twelve months and over. $25 per month per capita: for all male con victs Is years old and over. whose sentence for crime Is less than twelve months. SIS per month. per capita; for all boy and female convicts. $10 per month. The first and second proposi- tions can be accepted together with out the third, but the third cannot be accepted without the first and second. The company offered to take all con- victs. regardless of sex. age or con dition. at $20.25 per month per capita. If the county wanted to handle the convicts themselves just as the State does, the Tennessee Company offered 73 cents per ton for the coal mined
 The Sloss-Sheffleld Steel and Iron Company has the convicts now. The rew contract will bring the county in several hundred dollars more per an- mum than before.
