Court News.

Acting Mayor Lewis Court this morning reminded one of Second avenue on Sun day. "Nuf said"
 The Southern railway absolutely refuses to stay out of the lime light, and if it isn't busy moving its passenger station from the heart of the city to one of the most out of the way places in the district, 1t manages to stir up something else.
 It may not have the travel of one of the large western roads, but 1t has all the amusements. On the train that arrives here at an early hour this morn ing there was numbered among the pas sengers a colored matron of some few stanzas, known to the world as Agnes Batty. She boarded the train at De- mopolis and was to have travelled on to Atlanta. When the train stopped at Bessemer two negro men boarded the eolored car and walked through, until they reached the seat occupied by Ag nes. One of the black things attempted to push her out of the seat entirely, but tho job was too big for him. One look at her would convince anyone that she easily carries weight for age and the weight of ordinary ton of brick would be a mild comparison. The train robber weighs something like oo pounds, and of course when he commenced to push Agnes simply drew 0 long breath, and he was let gently down in the aisle. Ills pal was standing close by, and when he realized that Agnes was not to 1e routed. he reached over and grabbed her purse of Russian calf leather, bound in old gold. The two men made a flying leap from the train. which had gotten unoer way and Agnes was carried on into Birmingham. She came out to Bes- semer at early hour this morning and reported the case to Chief of Detectives Patton, and that officer, with the assist ance of Tom Parsons, immediately set to work the case. In two hours after the officers started out they had the men in jail and they will be given trial in ,4e police court tomorrow morning. When the purse was recovered it was found to contain one railroad ticket. and a bottle of McAboy snuff. as Agnes had put her money in her shoe, to be sure that It arrived in Atlanta at the same time she did.

The horrible picture of a man at the top of an electric pole enveloped from head to foot in d sheet of white flame, vast that witnessed by several women at Fairview yesterday. They saw him hang for a moment as if overcome, and then, mass of fire, slide Imply to the ground

 He found the trouble on top of q pole in the yard and was tampering with the fuse, when, in some manner, he made a short circuit blowing out the fuse and was immediately surrounded with fire. Nearly all his clothing was burned off. Luckily he threw his arms and legs around the post and sli1 to the ground, where the women of the nelghborhood rushed and helped to exterIninate the flames His face, arms and legs were parched terribly.

 "I feel that the public mind ought to be warned that no one may take the charges as true, and l ask every friend of the institution to hold up judgment un- til the Investigation is completed.

BESSEMER STIRRED
 BY WATER MATTER
Council Will Act on Subject
 Tonight
NEGRO w OMAN IS ROBBED
Was Going All the Way From Demop- oils to Atlanta, But She Carried Her Money In Her
 Shoe.

Bessemer, July 1o-(special.) )-When the city council meets in special session on Thursday evening, to take up the water works question. additional chairs will no doubt have to be provided for the au- dience, as the subject has been the topic of discussion on the streets the entire day. One reason for the great amount of interest manifested. is that there is lots of mystery surrounding the probable ac- tin of the council with regard to the matter. Several have expressed them selves as being of the opinion that the council would name some citizen who had cause of complaint against the schedule of rates, to take the matter into the chan cery court, and make a test case of it. It Is not known that this will be the case, but at any rate, the matter promises to be fought to a finish by both sides. The water works company claim that they have lived right up Do the contract, and are willing and ready at all times to go into court and defend the position taken.

QUIET PREVAILS IN P|G IRON MARKET Neither Buyers or Sellers Are
 Very Active THE PRODUCTION IS OFF Furnaces Are Not Expected to Do Much During the Hot Summer
 Months-TweIve More
 Stacks In Blast.

Cleveland, O., July 10.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Our monthly blast furnace statistics show that the production for June was 2.237, 42O tons, against 2291,oS tons in May. July starts with twelve more stacks In blast than were in operation on the first day of June and the outlook is that the production will be well maintained, although furnaces are not expected to do as well during the extremely hot weather as when weather conditions are more favorable.
 Extreme quiet prevails in the pig iron market, neither buyers nor sellers being active. In finished lines the volume of new business continues small, although some roders of good size have been taken for steel bars.
 The mills are gradually catching up on deliveries, especially in plates and sheets. The Carnegie Steel company, during the past sixty days has taken orders for about 100000 tons of steel rails, mostly for delivery this year.
 An agreement to specifications for rails for 1908 delivery will not be reached for at least two months and during that period very few orders will be placed.

KING EDWARD PAYS
 IRELAND A VISIT
FIRST DAY IS A GREAT SUCCESS. DUBLIN GIVES SOVEREIGN PAIR A ROYAL REcEPTIoN-THE WEATHER IS FINE.

Dublin, July 10.-The first day of the visit to Ireland of King Edward and Queen Alexandra was a great success. The weather was fine and the city gave the sovereigns a royal reception. Both wore the national color of Ireland the King a green necktie and the Queen q moss green and mauve toque.
 His majesty delivered brief speeches at the various functions of the day in which he expressed his grateful thanks for the warm reception accorded himself and the Queen. and congratulated the country up- on the progress and prosperity indicated in the exhibition. He said his stay must be briefer than he could have wished, but he intended to make the most of it, the prosperity of the country and the happiness and contentment of the people being objects very near to the hearts of both himself and the Queen.
 The King and Queen arrived here from Kingstown this afternon. After visiting the exhibition, they passed In procession through the streets of Dublin to the vice regal lodge and everywhere dense crowds of pople accorded the King and queen a most hearty reception.
 The Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and his countess gave a garden party at the lodge in honor of their maj esties

GREATEST POULTRY
 SHOW IN THE SOUTH
STATE FAIR PLANS ARE BEING MADE ON MORE ELABORATE SCALE THAN EVER BEFORE. ADJUSTMENTS PLANNED.

Preparations are being made to have the greatest poultry show ever held in the south at the coming state fair in Bi1- mingham. large list of premiums Is be- ing made up and cocks, hens, cockerels, bullets, pigeons and other domestic fowls can strut and crow with the knowledge that they are participating in the greatest poultry contest ever held in this part of he country. A large number of poultry raisers have signified their intention of entering the contest, and there promises to be some live competition for the rib- bons There will be ample space for any number of fowls, and the large list of premiums promises to make it remunera- tive for nearly every entry
 The work is being pushed vigorously in all of the different departments, and the endeavor is being made in every line to so far surpass the previous fairs as to make everyone forget that any previous fair was ever held.
 The fact that there will be no horse show means much for the success of the fair, for while the horse show attracted quite a number of people, yet 1t failed to draw the attendance that a fair should attract at night Instead of the horse show there will be protechnical display which will be interspersed with a large number of strong specialtes.
 The free attractions which are to be given all during the day and night will be the greatest thing in thls line. They consist of some of the greatest vaudeville stunts ever attempted, and 1t will cost the fair association a neat penny to secure them. The amusement company furnish ingq a large portion of the free attrae- tons will operate the midway. The com pany Is the Interstate Company of Chlca- go and St. Louis, which is regarded as the strongest concern of it's kind in eX- istenee. This Is the same concern which handled the Majestic theatre circuit last season.
 The racing books have been opened for another week, which has resulted in number of additional numbers of racers being booked. The sport along this line promises to be very rare indeed.
 The agricultural and live stock depart ments are receiving special attention, and Secretary Barnes has said that this years fair is to be distinctly an agricultural fair.
 The catalogue is in the hands of the days It is still open for advertisements, however, and will be until the last day of the binding.

Game Ends in Scrap.

A ball team from Bessemer went over to Piney Woods today to play ball, but instead they came very near having to bring some of the players home on stretchers. The boys that belong to the Woods proved to be hard losers, and a few of the sore heads attempted to put the umpire out of business with bats and clubs. When they found out that Bes- semer was going to defeat them they be- came dissatisfied with the umpire, and his decisions were disputed every time. After much wrangling the Bessemer team finally won the score by the score of to 5. During the game Bob Childers, one of the cleverts and most generally liked young men in Bessemer. had the misfor- tune to have his thumb broken. foul ball hit him on the finger and mashed the bone badly. He waited until he returned to the city and had the wounded finger attended to. It will be some time before he will have use of it, and it Is causing him great pain
