Ensley. February 5.-(Special.) AS the
result of a shooting ARRAY that occurred
this morning at the Semet-Solvay, c. A.
Flovd is laid up with gunshot wound
IN the left side and arm, and A. r.
Perkins is confined in the city jail,
charged with assault with intent to muir
der.
Floyd is foreman of the Rigging
Gang" and Perkins was working under
him, and it is said that they had some
words in the early part of the forenoon,
and Perkins left the plant, but about
Il o'clock he is said TO have returned
with a double barreied shotgun, and
walking up within few yards of where
Floyd and his gang were at work, he
raised the gun and fired one barrel at
Floyd, but just as he pulled the trigger
George White. a blacksmith, grasped his
arm. thereby pulling the gun around just
as it was discharged. and the majority
of the load went between Floyd's left
arm and side. Quite a number of the
shot, which were said to be No. l buck
shot, lodged in the fleshy part of his arm
and side.
Before the other barrel could be dis
charged, White jumped between Perkins
and Floyd, when the former lowered the
gun and walked out of the plant. The
police were notified of the affair and
Officers Henry White and P. A. Cochran
arrested Perkins and lodged him in the
city jail

WARDROBE ROBBED
OF $75 IN MONEY
SOMEONE USED A cHIsEL TO GET
CASH WHILE OCCUPANTS OF a
FIFTH AVENUE HOME WERE AT
SUPPER.

A daring and rapidly executed robbery
occurred at 1900 Fifth avenue yesterday
afternoon in which a thief entered the
house, prised open a wardrobe and sue
ceeded in escaping with $50 in cash.
The victim was Mrs. Maud Dorse, the
proprietor of the boarding house at that
address. The robbery occurred at the
time when the loser was at supper. The
interesting feature of the case is that
the person was familiar with the sur
roundings, for the thief evidently knew
that the money was in the house and
just where it was kept.
As soon as the matter was reported to
Headquarters. Officer Street and an Age
Herald reporter investigated 1t was
found that the thief had quietly entered
the room, prised open both sides of a
wardrobe with chisel which was left
behind, and after removing the money
from the purse and throwing the purse
room was found open, and it is thought
that the thief made his escape by this
means. officer Street realizes too. that
the window may have been raised as a
blind. The front door of the house is
always left open, and the door to the
room where the robbery occurred was
also unlocked.
Mrs Dorse states that she had just re-
turned from town, put her purse contain
ing the money in the wardrobe. locked
the door and gone to supper. When she
returned both doors to the wardrobe were
prised open and the empty purse and
chisel, the instrument used in effecting
an opening, were lying on the floor.
Nothing else in the room was touched.
Another interesting item is that the
chisel used In prising open the wardrobe
doors was the property of Mrs. Dorse,
and it had been, previous to its nefarious
use, in the basement of the house.
Officer Street has a clue and it ID
thought that an arrest of more than or
binary interest will be made today.

SWITCHING CHARGES.
Case Is Withdrawn BY Attorney for
Wood-Dickerson.

Montgomery, February 5.-(SpeciaL)-
The question of switching charges In the
Birmingham district was not taken up
by the railroad commission today as was
anticipated, and for which purpose a
number of leading railroad men of the
county assembled here.
The reason was that the charges filed
by the Wood Dickerson Lumber COM
pany of Birmingham were withdrawn by
its attorney, Hon. Frank S. White.
The commission called the case at the
opening of the February term. Captain
White said that he was not ready to go
into the discussion and not ready to say
just what time he would be ready to go
into it, hence he withdrew that he may
put in a new plea later on
Among those at the session were Mill
ton H. Smith and II. l.. Stone, president
and general counsel of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad: L. Senior, vice presl-
dent of the Seaboard Air Line; e. T.
Wilcox division freight agent of the
Frisco at Birmingham, and number of
attorneys representing railroads of the
state
The question involved in the charges
made by the Wood-Dickerson company is
that of switching charges at Birming
ham, where the Birmingham Southern, a
belt line, takes cars from the shippers
and delivers them to the main lines of
the systems Also when cars are brought
in they are switched to unloading points.
For this service the belt lines charge SO
a car. The effort is to force the main
lines to take cars from the shippers and
return them without this charge-in other
words absorb the switching charge.
Other matters of minor moment were
discussed.
This was the first session held by the
new president. Charles Henderson.

An Unpleasant Experience.

Girard, February 5.-(Special.)-Whil
escorting two young ladies to the Mobile
and Girard railway station about o'clock
at night, John VIII Garrett, "a prominent
young man of Grard, had an exceeding
~ disagreeable experience. AS the party
walked along the street towards the depot
they passed two negro women and ne
gro man. One of the women audaciously
seized Mr. CARROTS hat. jerking 1t from
his head. and in his anger the young man
struck her. She seized his thumb and bit
il. He jerl<ed away and made an effort
TO get his hat, when the negro man seized
him and held him until the women had
made their escape, when he, too. ran
away The woman carried off CARROTS
new hat The entire affair occurred in the
presence of the ladies, who We're shocked
and deeply indignant at the outrageous
conduct of the negroes. The police are
investigating the case, but as yet have
made no arrests.
