MINING BILL ARGUED
LEGISLATORS IN BIRMINGHAM TO
 HEAR COAL OPERATORS.
Sitting of Communities at HilIman Hotel Attended By Representatives of Corporntfons--Norma
 Brooks May Die.

Birmingham, Feb. 27.-(Special-)- = The mining and manufacturing com mittee of the Alabama House of Reprs- Bloch of Wilcox Ceunty, held a meet Ing In Birmingham today and heard several of the coal operators and oth- CTS in regard to the proposed mining bill about to be enacted by the Legis- lature.
 The session was held in rooms at the Hillman Hotel, and several operators appeared before the committed. There is much complaint against the proposed bills, the liability clauses in particu- lar not being to the liking of the ope- rators. The committee desired to get full and free discussion on the mat ter. and for that reason came to the center of the mining district to accom- plish the purpose. The operators look for amendments to the bill introduced so that. all parties interested will be satisfied.
 The bill pending in the Legislature, and now in the hands of the commit tee. was prepared by the attorneys for the miners. 1t regulates mining in this State more than ever before. That the present laws regulating mining In this State are not sufficient Is admitted by both the operators and the miners.

CREST OF FLOOD ABOUT REACHED.
The Ohio Already Receding at Some
POints==-CinCinnati to Raise
$l5O,OOO for Sufferers.

Cincinnati, o., March 11.-With a
stage Of 61 feet this evening it was be-
licycd that the crest Of the Ohio river
flood was not far away. Forecaster
Bassler has placed the probable crest
at 65 feet some time tomorrow. Losses
cannot be given, although they are
heavy. Personal suffering has not been
excessive on account of mild weather,
although many thousands of persons
have been driven from their homes.
Reports from up the river say that
the worst is over at points above Gin
cinnati. The Cincinnati government
proposes to issue bonds for $150000 for
the relief of flood sufferers.
The city suffered a loss Of about
$4,000 today by the colIapsing of the
Eighth street viaduct over the railroads
Of the Mill creek section. Three 50-foot
spans of the viaduct went down into
the flood, but the high water is not be-
lieved to be the sole cause of the dis
astcr. There was no one on the bridge.
Several electric car lines use this via
duct, and all have been compelled to
make 4 wide dctour. In the carrying
away Of the bridge 10 Western Union
telegraph wires were broken and tcle-
phone communication with several sub
urbs was temporarily cut off.

AN EPIDEMIC
Of CeIebro Spinal Menin-
gifts at Biddeford.
Several Deaths Have Already
Occurred Among Children.
Board of Health at Work and
May Close Schools.

Biddeford, Me, March 1I.-An cpl
demic of cerebro spinal meningitis or
spotted fever, as it is best known, has
developed in this city, and already sew
eral deaths have resulted. Two deaths
occurred Friday night and the Board
of Health is preparing to take drastic
steps to stop the spread. 1t is thought
that the disease has had its origin
from the impurities uncovered in streets
and yards by the disappearance Of the
snow and the conditions are serious.
Cne of the victims was Beatrice Bru-
nellie. She was robust and healthy
when she went to school Friday morn
ing but was taken i'll in the school
room and after being removed to her
home lived only until 12.45 Saturday
morning. Another little girl six years
of age. the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Mcddard Brosseau, was also taken i'll
While at school and lived only four
hours.
NIenenGitis is recognized as one Of
the most contagious Of diseases and the
schools of the city may be closed until
its spread is checked.

q suit next week to recover $4,000 for
breach Of promise Of marriage. 1t will

women, that the engagement he broke
recently was entered into five years
ago, and that he is about to be married.
1t is understood that one of the most
sensational features of the case, when
it is heard next October, will be the
reading Of 100 love letters sent by the
dcfendcnt it is alleged to the plaintiff.
The noted lawyer who Will represent
the plaintiff is satisfied that these let
ters will convince the jury of the JUS
tiCe of the claim for damage. No

There are now four in the camp, but
these are ordinary cases, says DR.. Stan
wood, and unless unfavorable circum-
stances arise the patients will lrecover.
No mail is brought out from the camps.
although letters are sent in to the men.
The camps will be continued in quaran-
tine until conditions warrant taking off
the restrictions The men i'm these camps
came rot only from Maine, but states all
over the Eastern part of the country.
Canada and Nrw brunswick Frank Nc
