was committed, and Shock was arrested this morning. Moseley, while confined in jail and before he was taken to Anniston Sunday for safe keeping, discussed the af- fair with a negro prisoner in the jail, and it is stated that it was upon the testi- mony of this negro that the guilt was fixed upon Moseley by the coroner's jury this morning
 Moseley had been employed as a fire man at the plant, but had been dis charged few days previous to the crime, and had been ordered to keep off of the property of the company, but he had per- sisted in hanging around the engine house, and had been seen there on several diff ferent times that day. He was very fla miiar with the entire surroundings, and must have watched his chance to com- init the crime when a heat was being taken off at the furnace as at this time all of the men are actively engaged, and they would have hardly noticed him. Shock was a close confederate of Nose ley's. and they had been seen together frequently that day. Cobb at the time he was murdered had $107 on his person, all of which was missing. Feeling is very bitter against Moseley, and there is little doubt but what he will be lynched if he is ever returned here as Cobbs' associates at the steel plant have openly threatened him.

 Returned to Birmingham.
 Ed Taylor, the negro who shot Henry Hammond at Rock Springs several months ago, was returned to Birmingham last night, after having his case set for trial on November 19. There is a great deal of feeling against the negro, and owing to the murder and robbery of Joe Cobb Saturday night, the feeling has grown bitter against negro murderers in general, and it was not deemed safe to keep Taylor in the local jail.
 The police made a rade of a negro gam bling dive early this morning. and cap tured four of the gamblers. The resort is one of the worst in the city, and effort is being made to close it up. The proprietor, Will Garner, was indicted by the last grand jury for keeping dis orderly house.
 Tom Brown a negro laborer employed in removing the old Central foundry buildings on South Broad street, was caught under some falling timbers at noon and was severely injured. He was taken to his home and given medical attention. His injuries are not thought to be fatal.
 Copper Cable Stolen.
 A copper cable, weighing 1900 pounds was stolen from the plant of the South ern Steel company a few night ago, and so far no trace has been found of the thieves. The cable is quite an expensive one, being made of many small wires wound together, and is kept in reserve In case of accidents. It was still on the reel when stolen, and just how the thieves could get away with 1t is puzzlDg the owners.
