He is charged with striking Carrie De- Bardeleben, a negro woman, fin the head with brick. He was carried to the county Jail at Birmingham today by Of- ficer John Wren.
 The street and light committee of the city council and a committee of citizens from Pratt City called upon Mir Robert Jemison of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company this afternoon and formally requested that the fare on the two Ensley car lines be reduced from 10 cents to cents. Mir. Jemison refused to grant the reduction. MT. Jemison re- fused the reduction on the ground that the lines would not pay with less than a 10 cent fare He promised the reduction as soon as the lines are built up suf- ficientiy to warrant the cheaper rate

and the different ways of numbering
and outlined the plans of assistance rend-

of bones where. as ne says. the ghosts
are playing tag in the rooms above him.
These spirits are nearer the human
than most spooks. for they insist upon
closing the doors behind them. The
doors of the old place creak and groan
on their hinges during the entire night.
Last week the young assistant district
attorney. Hugh F. TaggaTt. was at
work on his accounts when he heard a
soft noise in his ear. He jumped up,
but nothing was near him. For several
minutes he resumed his work, but the
same thing occurred again. He went
10 the door and cautiously peeped out.
No sooner had the shaft of light from
his room penetrated the hall than a
hideous laugh echoed through the cor
ridOrs upstairs and the chimes in the
hall started their nightly concert. 1t
was midnight.
Good night. Jim; I'm gone he
yelled, as he darted through the front
door. When he returned in the morn
ing his books were open on his desk
and the electric light was still making
a feeble effort to eclipse the sunlight
that poured in the window

GHOSTLN VISIONS
IN POLICE COURT
Weird and GrueSome
Stories Afloat With
in Walls.

Weird and gruesome are the noises and
visions that are heard and seen in the
old building on Fifteenth street that is
at present used for the temporary Police
Court. The places where crime is pun
ished daily are freqUented at night. so
those who have had occasion to be there
after dark testify by hosts that defy
the mandates of the law. and even the
apprehension of humans. GrOans. blood
curdling screams. and epen mysterious
taps upon the shoulders and purring in
the ear are some of the attractions that
the old structure offer for those who
may invade the place after the shades
OF night have wrapped il in mystery.
Various Stores Afoat.
Various stories are ahoat of crimes
that have been committed within its
dingy walls. of murders that have never
been flooded with the light of publicity.
and of operations that have been per-
formed while it was the home of the
Emergency Hospital. In fact. some of
those who are acquainted with the his
tory of the old place say that barrels
of bones are buried i'm the rear yard of
the building and that skeletons have
been exhumed from the cellar. Did some
of those old colored prisoners who frc-
Quent the place nearly as often as
Judge MullOWny himself know OF the
traditions that are current in regard to
the narrowing deeds that have been
committed within the walls they would
stay away much more readily than all
life sentences In the warehouses would
influence.
At the rear of the nall on the first
moor there are several bells which were
originally used as the call bells from
the front door. Every night at y o'clock
these bells begin TO ring and strike one
after the other In dismal cadence for
| i've minutes. What the cause OF this
| phenomenon is no one who has observed
| IL has been able TO say. Watchman
| Hughes has repeatedly gone 10 the
! place to watch the bells strike. but can
see no power which might cause the
ringing.
Rattling OF Bones.
One OF the chief diversions that is
nightly afforded Jim. as he is best
known at the courthouse, is TO listen to
the noises which resemble the rafting
