 Echoes of the Recent Strike are
 Heard.
 Birmingham, Oct. l.)-in Judge Samuel l.. Weaver's division or the Criminal Court today. a unique case developed when the case of Sid Harmon, a special deputy during tne recent coal miners strike was called for trial. Harmon was charged with presenting a pistol, carrying a pistol less than twenty-four inches in length and with an assault and battery on John Pitts. a negro, who swore out tho warrants.
 It developed that Harmon had al- ready been tried, or at least had plead ed guilty to the assault and battery charge before J. H. Burton. justice of the peace at Adamsville, and been fined S5. A number of witnesses swore that he did not have pistol when he slapped the negro and the defendant was acquitted.
 Before entering the order, Judge Weaver asked c. V. Buchanan, who swore out the warrant before Justice Putnam immediately after the trouble, If there was colluslon on the part of him and Harmon. to which Buchanan said there was not.
 T simply wanted him tried in 6 court near home," said Mir. Buchanan, who was a witness for the defendant.
 A man has a perfect right to swear out a warrant and have @ friend tried in one particular court" said Judge Weaver, when there Is no collusion. I dismiss the defendant"
 A forfeiture and alias had been taken in the case of Houston Minor. who was charged with the same offense by Pitts. After Judge Weaver discharged Harmon, Assistant Solicitor Aird sug Rested that the Minor casek might as we'll be mol pressed. Such orders we're made and thus ended two more mine strike cases.
 When the docket was sounded many persons charged with violating the revenue law failed to answer and Judge Weaver took many forfeitures. The cases were said to be against fruit vendors who had been arrested for do- ing business without a license.

ANXIOUS HOURS AT. SEA.

 r Her MachInery.
 New York. Oct. 27.-The sos pas sengers who arrived today on the steamer Furnessia from Glasgow, spent thirteen anxious hours at sea last Wednesday. while the vesel houndered helplessly. the sport of 6 ninety mile gale.
 The misadventure was due to an &C., cident in the engine room, a cross- head having slipped out of place, ne. cessitating an abrupt silencing of the machinery. The mishap to the cross- head. which latter may be generally described as the sliding block attach ed to the exposed end of a piston rod, was not serious in itself. and could have been easily remedied. in calm weather. But when a ship is rolling in the trough of mighty sea, it be. comes quite another matter. So it was on board the Furnessia, where for more than half a day the machintsts stroVe to make the delicate adjustment, ex- hausting every resource of shipcraft. For a hundred times at least the va grant cross.head was within a hairs breadth of its home. only to be sent wandering again by violent lurch of the vessel.
 Meantime the passengers pretty we'll divided their time between an effort to keep themselves familiar with their and the plying of the captain of anxious questions. The steamer had early hoisted the signal Not under control" but no other craft was sighted. Finally the pa- tience of the machinlsts was rewarded and the Furnessia was but day late In arriving.

ferent counties which composed it.. These counties we're regarded to be conveniences to which the people were entitled, and 1t would have been thought absurd to deny those people the benefit of their county government merely to promote the imaginary in- terest of the city of New York.
 If our friends who are urging this matter really wish to help Bir1ning- ham by denying the people of Besse- mer a convenience to which they are entitled they should insist upon the Federal Government abolishlng the postofflce there. This would really bring many of them to town who can at present stay away. There would be just as much reason and logic, and far more business sense in abolishing the Bessemer postoffice and requiring them to come to Birmingham to get their mali than 1t would be in deny ing the people an opportunity to trans. act their own public bushes affairs at home.
 But this is far more than a local question--it is a State question. An honest difference of opinion may ex- list in some quarters as to the neces- sity of new county, including Bes- semer. can see no possible reason in which any one could find an argu. ment opposing a new county to include the towns of Demopolis. Faunsdale and Uniontowu. The only way to get 1t is by the adoption of this amendment to the Constitution. It is only common justice that the people who want and are willing to pay. their own money for a public convenience of this char acter should be permitted to do so. This is merely home rule and local self government These things are more than democracy. They mean fair play, and no selfish interest should be permitted to stand in the way.
