YOUNG HAS BAD RECORD

tonight the excited negro pOpuldCe HAu gathered in such large numbers on Twenty-first street and were making such violent threats of attacking the jail that had not Deputy Handle and Detective Patton spirited away the two negroes charged with the murder of Evans Mar tin, who was found Wednesday with his throat cut. no doubt the mob would have strung them up within a few hours
 About 10 o'clock last night the police reported the negroes preparing to move toward the jail. Chief Deputy Rush Ran dle. Detective Patton and Night Captain Gamer, with Cy Young and Jeff Sams the two cut-throats, made a circuit around to Alabama avenue and boarded the South Bessemer car The county jail was reach ed without any trouble and the negroes were docketed, returnable to the Bessemer police court tomorrow morning for pre- liminary trial.
 Four Warrants.
 The coroner's investigation was con cluded this morning, with a decision to hold the two suspects. And this after noon it is said, warrant was sworn out before Justice of Peace W. B. Gunn but when Constable Manningley attempted to serve the papers Chief Christlieb with the advice of the city attorney, refused to surrender the prisoners on the grounds that warrants had already been served rom Mayor SulliYan's court, and that Witnesses had been called for a pre- liminary hearing tomorrow morning. The constable claimed that his papers had precedence, but these legal points will hardly be pushed further.
 As summarized by Detective Patton the case against the two negroes is as follows:
 Young was seen al the barbershop at D. m. He was seen in Claybournes s saloon at F o'clock with blood on his cheek and clothes. He was known to have had no money in the afternoon. He paid for his drinks with bloody bills When arrested Ais clothes and shoes were covered with blood
 Sames was seen in the barber shop at a. m. A little later he went to Evans house, asked If he was in, saying that he had razor for him. Whether he was watching the woman while his partner did the work or merely wanted to locate her, Is not known Evans box was found open by his side with bloody razor ly- ing beside one which Sames admits to be his own, and cannot account for it's being there. The case is thought to be a~strong one.
 Indignation has run high all day among the colored population and they have sent men 10 the officers several times ask ing Tor the prisoners, stating openly that 1 their intention was to lynch them. It Is learned from reliable source that l Cyi Young is wanted for three other mur- ders, two near Anniston and one in Penn- sylvania, and that his whole career has been filled with desperate crimes The capture is considered the most important made by the department for several years.
 Joint Debates.
 The first joint debate of the campaign took place in McCalla tonight under most suspicious circumstances. The opinion that the political heat is so night that it would be dangerous to bring the two parties together was entirely disproved; ; in fact, the audience was most orderly, although quite appreciative and at times enthusiastic.
 The position of Judge Stiles was de- tended by Judge Jackson and Attorney Gardner Godwyn of Bessemer, and their speeches are said to have been conserva- tive and well received. W. K. Smith, at torney and chairman of the Bessemer Higdon club, and Walter s. Gilbert, two of Higdons most ardent supporters, made pointed replies. The debate was a great success and will long be remembered in McCalla. This box went for Higdon in the last primary but Stiles is making a strong effort to turn the tide. Voters from other parts all turned their faces toward Birmingham tonight, and the cars were crowded with men en route to the skating rink, where the Higdon rally was held or to the Jefferson theatre for the democratic meeting. They were all well pleased with the meetings.
 Officials Make Statements. Referring to a paragraph about the Yolande mines in this column yesterday it seems that the correspondent was led into error. There was no intention what ever of doing the company an injustice. Vice President Thomas c. Culverhouse of the Yolande Coal and Coke company states that the company makes no charge for electricity and that mo one has been forced out of the house except those who quit or were discharged from this com pany's service"
 President G. B. Grove makes the fol- lowing statement:
 'On October 1, MT. T. C. Culverhouse associted himself with our company as vice president and general manager. and in the month of October our output was larger than in any previous month. Our charge for house rent has been raised from $5 to S8 per month Tor four-room, ceiled house, and in justice to us I will say our houses are as good as can be found at any coal camp in the state, or in the south.
 I've maintain a free school for our white employees children, and one for the colored, and the schools are absolutely free. On October 1 the opening of our white school showed seventy-five pupils enrolled, and we now have ninety, and have employed an assistant teacher. Our camp IS non-union absolutely, and when we started we determined on making it good, clean camp. and If you will give us fair investigation you will find we have perhaps the cleanest, most sober set of intelligent men living there that you will find in any small place in the state. We expect to more than double our output in the next few months. We are building coke ovens, water works, coal washers and are employing 600 or zoo men now and expect to have as many more in the next twelve months
