WHITE MAN HELD ON 4 SERIOUS CHARGE Charged With Stealing Money
 from Friends Home TRIED TO CHEW UP BILL Southern Bell Telephone Company VIII Move Into New Exchange In Few

 Epps, Ala.
TRIED TO CHEW UP BILL

Bessemer August 29.-(SpeciaL)-F. M. Wilson. white man, was bound over to the grand jury of Jefferson county yesterday by Mayor T. T. Huey on a charge of grand larceny in the sun of $500.
 Wilson Is charged with stealing money from the residence of friend where he was visiting last Sunday afternoon. It is claimed than when he was confronted with the charge he attempted to conceal the theft by chewing up the money which was In bills, and got choked in the act.
 Mayor Huey tried several cases of small importance in police court this morning. The most important case was that against Gus Lynch, a negro charged with burg lary and grand larceny. He was held for investigation by the grand jury of Jef- ferson county In the sum of $200.
 Bessemer has been very quiet in police circles for the past few weeks. Not a single arrest was made today up 10 T o'clock, which is an unusual record.

NEW ROAD ASSURED.
Atlantic and Birmingham Railroad VIII
 Pass Through Talladega.

Talladega, August 9.-(Special) 1.-The railroad meeting relative to securing rights of way and terminals for the Att 1antlc and Birmingham railroad was held Monday afternoon in the city building, and was largely attended. George Dole Wadley and engineers were present. Mayor Vandiver presided and explained the purpose of the meeting.
 MT. Wadley, with the assistance of Chief Engineer Bonnyman, traced tho route of the road through the city. It appeared that road desired q right of way from Johnson avenue north. on a line parallel to the Southern railroad-JThe width of the concession asked for down to East street being 26O feet. Congress- man Pluwman made the point that this width was too much for a right of way. MT. Wadley answered that he wanted nothing unreasonable or beyond the abil- ity of the citizens to secure. and that he would be content with an ordinary right of way through the city, with land enough for terminals on either the east or west suburbs of the city. This, Is was thought, by the meeting could be secured.
 Dr. B. B. Sims moved that Messrs Matteson, Plowman and Stone be appoint ed committee to secure the rights of way, which was carried. and Congressman Plowman moved that the meeting accept President Wadleys proposition, which was carried by unanimous rising vote
 This settles it that the Atlantic and Birmingham railroad will come through Talladega. Mir Wadley says he has every foot of contract for grading from La Grange to Talladega already let. and work will begin at once
 c. E. Bondurant the telegraph operator who was stabbed on Sunday by Lawyer Graves Embry. Is resting well today, and the doctors seem to be of the opin- ion that he has q good chance of reeov- cry, unless pneumonia or some other complication arises.
 The Birmingham and Atlantic railroad has closed a contract for building a new bridge across the Coosa river at or near the point where the present bridge crosses the river. It will be a splendid steel structure. The road will be strengthened and grades lowered at once.
