REAR END COLLISION.
Houston Goodwin Hurt on the Knee.
 Street Car Accident.

Two cars on the Powderly- -Bessemer line had a rear end collision last night about 6:45 clock at Tuscaloosa station in West End, and one man was slightly injured as a result. The two cars were damaged, one of them seriously and the other only slightly.
 The accident occurred while one of the cars was backing into switch which 1t lad passed. The other car ran Into 1t, and Houston Goodwin, who lives in Cleveland, had bis right knee badly wrenched. He was carried to the residence of pr. H. c. Sellars, who later carried him to his home. Although he limped badly. MT. Goodwin was able to walk a little.
 Superintendent Harris of the railway department Of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has not yet completed his investigation into the cause of the accident. Neither of the cars were moving rapidly, and therefore the wreck was not more serious.
 Wild runors were current about the city that one man had been killed and six fatally injured, and that one of the cars had been totally destroyed by fire, bur the rumors were altogether unfound- ed as will be seen by the facts above re- ported. As soon as the facts became known there was great relief in the public mind.

At meeting Of the Commercial Coal Operators association. to be held in the office of B. F. Roden at 10 o'clock t+ls morning, the difference of opinion exist ing between the miners and the operators as to the advance in wages will in all likelihood be settled
 It is understood that the miners and operators already have practically reached an agreement. According to reports the commercial operators will pay the 23h cents advance claimed by the miners in view of the advance in the selling price of iron
 The trouble arose over the construc- ton of a clause in the temporary con tract entered Into between the miners and the commercial operators. At the time these contracts were signed the operators were to pay 471h cents per ton. Some of them thought this amount was to be paid until a settlement was reached

ONLY 21 BUT IS
 AN OLD OFFENDER
ROBERT M'MANUs GOES TO GRAND JURY-ABoUT THE TWENTIETH TIME BEFORE POLICE COURT IN THREE YEARS.

Robert McManus. a white man about 21 years old, was yesterday in police court for about the twentieth time in the past two or three years, and once more he has been bound over to the criminal court on a charge of grand larceny
 If will be remembered that McManus was in fall some time ago on & similar charge, and that Judge Feagin held the case up, hoping to get the boy in re- form school, or some similar place, where he would be out of mischief and where he could be taken care of The young man was finally placed in the street gang and put in the cemetery to work. He remained there for few days and then escaped.
 Several days ago McManus came back to Birmingham and at once started his old habit of stealing This time he got away with an oil sotve, lamp and an electric fan, the property of John Rem finger of 2O1oh Third avenue. He was promptly arrested and placed in jail, and his trial came up yesterday. It Is prob able that McManus has been arrested more than any other one person In Blr- mingham in the past three years Recently when McManus was put on the street gang there were three or four cases pending against him in the police court and when he ran away he sup 1ected himself to a fine in each of them.
 It seems that this tine he is liable to go
 to the mines, although he claimed to the end that he was innocent.

UNION MINERS TO GET
 ADVANCE OF 21-2 CENTS

w,tb the furnace operators. There was a clause however. which made all the pro- visions of the previous contract binding in the temporary contract. This meant that the price of mining was to be based on the selling price of iron' or, in other words. the price was fixed on sliding basis.
 The Galloway Coal and Coke company, which does not belong to the Commercial Operators association, has already al- lowed the increase of 21s cents and has posted notices to that effect.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, the only furnace company in the district which has contract with the union miners. has already notified the men in it's employ of the granting of an advance in wages.
 As 1t seems quite certain that the miners and operators will reach an agreement this morning there will be no danger of a suspension of work.

TREASURED TROPHY
 MEDALS ARE STOLEN
Athletic Club Loses Forty-tWo
 Tokens of Value
Y. M. c. A. ALSO ROBBED
Thieves Entered Through a Broken Transom-AthIetic Club Medals Worth ntrlnsically About
 $soo-No Arrests Yet.

 The thieves also entered the Y. M. c. A. building which adjoins the Athelue club, and broke open several desks there, securing a good many dollars. and injur- ing the furniture considerably.
 The theft at the Athletic club was not discovered until early yesterday morning when Harry Miles, secretary and treas urer, opened the club. He found his desk, the cigar case and some desks in the office broken open. This caused an in vestigatlon, and he later found that some razors and others things had been stolen from a room upstairs.
 An investigation showed that entrance was gained through a broken transom, the glass of which had been shattered Thursday by one of the servants acci- dentally.
 While making a further search MT Miles found the two racks in which the medals were kept, lying on billiard table covered by cloth which goes over the table at night. The racks were brok- en open and the medals were gone.
 Ed. Warren estimated last night that the medals were worth about $s0O as two or three of them were studded with stones. and others were of solid gold The theft was reported to the police and Detectives Bodoker, Hamilton and Patton are Investigating it. No arrests had been made at a late hour last night.

On the previous occasions the advance began practically at the same time of the course In 1901 and 1902 the rise, while beginning at high figures, reached a much higher point before breaking. In both instances it took about eleven months to reach the maxim.
 In spite of the fact that production dur ing the month of October increased 97,0O0 tons, consumption more than kept the pace by reducing furnace stocks dur ing the month 26.000 tons.

last summer that the interests of that line in the Georgia railroad would go to the Atlantic Coast Line. This has caused a further belief that the Macon, Dublin and Savannah has been purchased for the Louisville and Nashville.
 ''The question has been frequently asked since the sale of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah as to what the Louisville and Nashville wished in the transaction. It Is believed that the Macon, Dublin and Savannah could prove of Little advan- tage to the Atlantic Coast Line, while at the same time it would prove very valuable to the Louisville and Nashville in giving this road a line which could by a small extension from Vidalia be made another through line to the coast.

COURT RULED THAT
 ARREST WAS LEGAL
DECIDES ACCORDING TO JUDGE
 FEAGIN's PRECEDENT IN FAVOR OF OFFICER WHO APPREHEND- ED NEGRO WITHOUT WARRANT.

Acting Judge Bullock had the matter of making arrests without warrants brought before him in the police court yesterday. It will be remembered that he argued the matter before Judge Feag'n some time ago, practically proving that the law required an officer to witness the offense personally, or to make the arrest only after a warrant had been sworn out.
 When Judge Feagin went away on his trip MT. Bullock was appointed as act ing judge, and the very first question which he had to decide was whether an arrest which was made without war rant was legal.
 Acting Judge Bullock heard the evidence and overruled the motion of the attorney to set the case aside because the arrest had been made without a warrant and on verbal information only. The defend- ant, Rickard Walker, a negro, admitted being guilty of the offense charged against him, and also that the policeman arrested him a short while after he had committed the offense.
 The court held that in one previous case
  was made within a few minutes after the offense was committed, and the officer practically witnessed the offense in that he was present within very short while after the offense was committed, it would have practically the same weight in court as if the act had actually been witnessed.
 The acting judge also brought out new question in the matter. He stated that the defendant was clearly guilty, and that in ease a suit should be brought against the arresting officer, no civil court in the country would give yer dict against him, as 1t would hold that the defendant was guilty and should have been punished Therefore the judge held that while an arrest without warrant was not legal, that it was sometimes necessary In Birmingham.
