SW1TCHMAN MEETS
 DEATH ON SOUTHERN
Wreck Near Cordova Caused By Cali On Track-Rev. Steadman
 Killed at Dora.

Cordova, October 31.-(Specal )-Yester- day morning about 10 o'clock the switch engine of the Southern railroad was wrecked, causing the death of the flag man, Jake Davidson, and perhaps fatally lnJuring the conductor and slightly in- turing several others of the crew.
 The wreck was caused by cars in front of the engine being thrown off the track by running over calf. Most of the crew were on the cars in front of the engine when the train was wrecked
 Davidsons remains were brought to his home here He leaves his wife and one little child. The conductor was at once carried to the hospital at Corona. It is very doubtful whether he will live.
 Last night the Baptist minister here. Rev. Steadman, was killed by the train near Dora and was torn to pieces so badly that he was placed in a three-foot box to be sent to Cordora MT Stead man was good man. He was about 5l years of age. The people of Cordova mourn the deaths of the two men.

BUILDING COMMISSION MEETS.
Ordinance Regarding Theatres Will Be
 Revised.

The building commission of the city of Birmingham, in special session yester- day considered the newly framed ordi- nance regulating the erection of theatres and other buildings wherein people are expected to assemble.
 As a result of the meeting, the new ordinance will be revised somewhat before it is presented to the city council for adoption It Is considered almost too drastic. and it was found by the commits sion that the expenditure in carrying out the measure by the theatres would be very great.
 The meeting was interesting. Manager Douglas, Manager McArdie, B. NJ. Allen and T. II. Motion, representing theatres, were present. The building commission was represented by it's entire membership Mayor Ward Building Inspector Lind Fire Chief Bennett, City Attorney smith, Alderman Stockmar and Alerman Jones. Before the meeting was concluded, each of these gentlemen had something to say, and at one time Building Inspector Lind, and MT. Motion had quite heated eollouuy. 'sh .s.st t.-a

HALL THIEVES
 WERE FRUSTRATED
LADY HAD READ AGE-HERALD'S ACCOUNT OF THE SCHEME OF MEN SEEKING BOARD, AND ACTS PROMPTLY.

Had Third avenue boarding house proprietor not read a recent account in The Age-Herald of the scheme of two young men gaining admittance to houses on pretext of seeking board, 1t is prob able that she would have been another of their victims yesterday afternoon.
 This lady reported to the police de- partment, requesting that her name not be used, that two young men were found in her residence about noon, and that when accosted they declared that they had previously engaged rooms there. The lady remembered the story in The Age Herald, and immediately ordered the men from the house. The police believe that these are the same young fellows who stole an overcoat and other clothing re- gently from home on the Northside

LOOKS LIKE ACCIDENT.
Coroner's Jury Investigates Cause of
 ReveIys Fractured Skull.

The coroner's jury met yesterday in Judge Feagins court room to investigate the cause of the death of E. T. Revely, who, while confined in the city Jail last Sunday, received a fall which, 1t Is said, fractured his skull death resulting the next day at the IIillman hospital. All the testimony not being heard yesterday, the examination of witnesses will be con tnued this morning at II o'clock, and by noon it is expected that the jury will render it's verdict.
 From the testimony given yesterday, it appears that Revely had an epileptlc fit Sunday few hours after he was locked up for being drunk, and fell heavi- ly on the cement floor of the jail. pr, Hayes, the city physician, testified that such a fall could easily have caused the fracture of the skull, and also that a fracture might be of such nature as to be readily undetected,
 No evidence was found to indicate that the deceased had been struck by anyone. It seems probable, therefore, the jury will decide this morning that Revely met death as the result of accident.

 There is dog and pony act at the Ma jestlc theatre this week which it is be- 1ieved will prove especially attractive for the children, and in addition there are several other acts on the programme which will amuse them and interest them.
 Manager Stevenson announces that sev- eral times during the season the theatre will be thrown open to the children of the various charities of the city, especi- ally when there is some vaudeville act that will amuse them more than ordl- narily.
