 Probably Seriously Injured.
 Birmingham, Sept. 4.--(Special.)-- Helen the little 6-year-o1d daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. F. Cox, was run down by bicycle being ridden by a negro boy Wednesday morning. The accident occurred in front of Mir. Cox's grocery store on the corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-third~ street.
 The child was knocked unconscious and sustained dangerous injury about the head and neck. She was hurriedly carried to her home at 2304 Fifth ave- nue. where she received medical atten- tion. Owing to her tender age and frailty of her bones 1t is feared the injuries will prove very dangerous
 John and Miller Jones, two negroes, were arrested, charged with reckless riding and were placed in the city jail. According to statements made the two negroes were racing down Fifth ave- nue. The little girl was crossing the street as both negroes turned the cor ner of Twenty-third street and Fifth avenue, going at a rapid rate of speed. She succeeded in lodging the bicycle in front but was struck by the one fin the rear. She was knocked senseless and the bicycle was broken into splinters.
 MT. Cox, who was in his grocery store, rushed out and, after taking care of his child. caught the negroes and held them until a policeman ar- rived.
 Much racing'is being indulged in on Fifth avenue because of the smooth paving.

 Washington, Sept. 1.-Two of the four Annapolis cadets suspended and recommended for dismissal by Captain Badger. the Commandant, on account of infractions of regulations at the Academy, have sent answers to the communications sent them by the act ing Secretary of the Navy. The let ters were from Clarence Riner of Wyo- oming and o. G. Salb of Indiana, both fourth-class men last year, and not promoted this year.

 Their only defense is that they think a sentence of dismissal Is unjust when other cadets have only been demerited for the same offense. The other ca- dets recommended for dismissal were George F. Humbert of Pennsylvania and James E. Austin of New York, who left the practice ship at Bath, Me-, af- ter having been refused shore leave.

Great Actors Estate is Smaller Than
 Originally Thought to Be.


 New York, Sept. 4.-The contents of the will left by Richard Mansfield have been made public here by Irving Dittenhoffer. who was in charge or Mr. Manshelds legal affairs.

 As the will was made in 1894, which was before the birth of Mir. Mansheld s son, George Gibbs, the boy will take his share of the estate as if the actor died without a will.
 The will, which is brief, will be pro- bated on Friday.

Mansfelds Ife' which was given as $250,OOO turns out to be $60,000, S40.000 of which goes to the widow and the remainder to the estate, the value of which Is gwen as $50,OO0.
 Mir. Dittenhoffer said that for the last, ten years all that Mir. Mansfield accumulated either in real or personal property, had been placed at once in the name of his wife.
 The house at 316 Riverside Drive and the Connecticut farms all were transferred to Mrs. Mansfield immedi ately after their purchases. All plays and manuscripts, as well as all stock held by MT. Mansfield in the Richard Mansfield Company, are left to the widow.
