YOUNGSTERS HELD
 FOR CRAP SHOOTING
Were Having Merry Game in Very Heart of West Park When Dep
 uty Came Along.

Twenty-Five youngsters, from 16 to 21 years of age, gathered around two of their able leaders, were initiating their predecessors in the ring, shuffing the dice merriy yesterday afternoon in the very center of West Park, one of the most popular in the city.
 And 1t happened that at about that time in the afternoon one of Sheriff Hlg- don's deputies came strolling down the path noticed the game in progress, and became an interested on-looker for a few minutes He then hurried to a nearby telephone and called two more deputies to his aid.
 On their arrival the three made for the group who, by that instinct for approach ing trouble only known to a youngster, immediately gave leave to the officers, and turned turtle swifter than hare.
 They managed to capture five of them, however, and Allen, Kennewar and Car ter, three deputies, marched them into headquarters. where they remained until their willing parents went and took them out.

OUIETEST SUNDAY
 FOR MANY MOONS
Only Seven Arrests Were Made Dur ing Day, Although Thousands
 Were on Streets.

Yesterday was the quietest Sunday with the police force in many a day. In all there were only seven arrests, two of which were drunks, three disorderly conduct, one a murderer escaped from Shelby county, and one for violating the Sunday law.
 The thousands who crowded the streets yesterday afternoon at the mass meet ing returned to their homes without rais- ing any difficulties, and the. day went off peaceably.
 It is a remarkable fact, that for the last week. since the police department has been strengthened, and all the men have been working double shifts, there have been less arrests than in any other week of the year. This Is a very good example of the fact that where, even if there are labor differences if the police force is large, there will not be so much crime. The very magnitude of the force for the last few days has greatly de- creased the crime on the beats.

 HURT IN RUNAWAY
Popular LNeryman Victim in
 Unfortunate Accident
HORSE SCARED BY ENGINE
t.-iIstorm First Caused Animal to Become Nervous-Base of Mans Skull Is Badly

Thrown to probable death by one of hls most gentle horses Ben l.. Atkins, proprietor of the Atkins Livery company suffered fractured skull yesterday after- noon at about 8:3O o'clock in a runaway. Mr. Atkins was crossing the railroads at Twenty-fourth street and Morris ave- nue driving toward the city, when switch engine came by very close to the animal, frightened 1t, and 1t started off down the street By peculiar acci- dent the occupants were suddenly turned over violently Into the street.
 MT. Atkins went yesterday morning to spend the day with MT. Orr on the other side of Red mountain at Cunning ham Springs. They had kind of picnic, and he returned to the city with the two negroes under the employ of MT. Orr whom they had taken out.
 Az they passed through the Southside residence district 1t is said that there was a very violent rain storm followed by hail The hail did not fall on the Northside of the railroads, but 1t is said to have been extremely heavy for mo- ment on the southside. This was enough to frighten any animal and 1t needed only the train to make his nerves break.
 Mr. Atkins was also leading a horse, which was tied to the left shaft. When the runaway start-d both animals lead off, but just as they came to the alley crossing, man drove out with a mule, ran into the horse which was being lead, which fell over on the shafts.

 The ambulance of Green & Go. was called and carried the injured man quick ly to St. vincents hospital. He was at tended by Drs. Moore and Wilson, who found the skull fractured at the base. His wife and boy hurried to his side, and for moment he recognized them, but since has been in a stupor. The physicians found 1t impossible to oper- ate, and 1t now sems that there are no chances of his recovery At the hospital they believe he will live several days.
 MT. Atkins is one of the most popular men in the city. About five years ago he bought out the Duncan Livery com pany when it was In the old building on Second avenue. Now he owns fine struc- ture on First avenue near Twenty-first street, of which he Is sole proprietor. He has a brother and other family re- lations out of the city who have been notified and will arrive in Birmingham shortly.

LADY PAINTS AT
 SIGHT OF BARS
Goes to Get Husband Out of Jail and Reels Over When She Sees
 Him.

The warden at the city jail found hlm- self in quite a sentimental position yes- terday, when a fair lady fainted dead away on the cement floor of the warden s office without giving any notice what ever, neither did she remain long after ward to explain.
 The woman went to the jail to see a prisoner who had just been captured charged with escaping bond. She asked to see him, and the warden went to open the door. No sooner did her husband appear in the door. and look through the iron gratings than she threw up her hands, and tainted dead away. It is the first time that such thing has happened in the city jail for many, many years.
 When the lady, by the help of water and other remedies had been brought round safely, she rushed off with blank bond, and returning latter, saw her hus- band on the outside without any iron bars to worroy her.

FIRE
 DRAWS THOUSANDS
Cooperage Plant Burns With
 Loss of S15,000
ELECTRIC CABLES BURNED
Barrels and Shavings Burn Rapidly and Whole Building Was In Ruins Within Fifteen
 Minutes.

One of the prettiest fires. in point of fireworks, that Birmingham has witnessed for many a day was that in which the Birmingham Cooperage company's build ing, Fourteenth street and Powell avenue was destroyed last night at about 8 o'clock
 While whistles blew and barrel slaves popped, and electric cables bursting en- veloped posts in volumes of white light, the large wooden frame went up within fifteen minutes. For a time the pyrotech- nics were beautiful. The half broken cleo tric cables and the flames from the kin ding wood lighted up the whole city Per sons on the South Highlands were sud- denly shocked by their electric lights go- ing out. and had but to go to their win dows to find the cause. After an hour the current was turned back on.
 The cooperage factory was the property of H. I. Goldstein, who has owned 1t for five years. The building is one of the oldest in Birmingham, having been for many years owned and operated by the American Bolt works, which gave 1t up five years ago.
 The beauty of the bonfire Is attributed to the stock on hand. There were some coco barrels completed and material for making as many more. all of which was worth about $1O000. Tie barrels retail at about 50 cents each. These. together with the machinery, brings the loss up to about S16000, according to the statement of MT. Goldstein. The proprietor also runs junk shop in the same building.
 The fire was first announced by the en- zines In the Louisville and Nashville yards blowing their whistles. Chief Ben- nett and all the fire department hurried to the scene, but too late to save any part of the structure. The flames had shot up In moment and the work was finished in fifteen minutes. The flames reached out and caught the three electric cables that lead to Bessemer and the South Highlands melting them, and be- fore dropping the currents made a beauti- full display
 The fire department had not been on tho scene but few minutes when the tin cov- cred frame fell in, and It was all over. The Williamson Iron company building, just across the street, caught from the heat, but was quickly extinguished.
 More than a thousand spectators were attracted to the scene, and the light re- f1ected them piled on top of railroad cars In the yards and in every vantage point The loss was almost complete as the old building carried no insurance.
 A MT. Watson, who was climbing on a car, had the i'll luck to fall back on the ground, injuring his side slightly The ambulance of the Gaudin Undertaking company was on the scene and carried him to the Hillman hospital, where he is resting easily
 The cause of the fire has not been dis covered. Whether it was by an incen- diary or by a spark from passing engine is not known. MT. Goldstein was in the building yesterday morning, and it had been locked up after that

ChaIIenqe to Duel,

St. Petersburg, May 26-M Guerko, as- sistant minister of the interior, has chal- lenged M. Roditchoff, member of the ex- ecutive committee of the Barass associa- tion and member of parliament to a duel, alleging that M. Roditchoff's s recent speech in the douma on the famine was an insult to him. M Roditchoff has declined the challenge on the ground that the charges against Guerko place him outside the pale of the code of honor. Guerko's action is regarded as a play to the gallery. His letter challenging M. Roditchoff was pub- lished in the Novoe Vrema before he sent his seconds to him.
