ADJUSTMENTS.
"cIassmates' at the Jefferson.

Norman Hackett answered curtain call after the third act last night, and that was the really great act in his show. Classmates is built around a poor plot, and the tent scene in the first act Is too bold, but that which stands for the sue cess of the play which Jules Murray pre- sents is found in the Amazon scene, where the four leading male characters fight against starvation and fever
 Norman Hackett Willard Louis, E. D. Cromwell and Erskine Sanford take every advantage of an act that is full of pos abilities. Duncan Irving, Bubby Dubbie and Silent Clay have themselves become lost in the wilds of the jungle while searching for Bert Stafford When all are nearly dead or mad, the searchers come upon the lost man. Then all the horrors of hunger and approaching death, the fight for the last drop of brandy, the dying conversation of two rival lovers, and the final rescue are accomplished with fine dramatic execution.
 Of course the West Point cadets who were disgraced in the first act get back their commissions, win the girls they love and the villain, who lied, is punished. The ladies in the cast were poor and did not fit into their characters with any grace.

HOLDS 13 MEN ON
 CHARGE OF MURDER
JUDGE SHARPE HEARS EVIDENCE IN CASE OF KILLING OF NEGRO NEAR CARDIFF DURING REGENT MINERS STRIKE.

The four white men and nine negroes charged with the murder of negro named Jones, which occurred at Cardin during the recent coal miners strike, were given a hearing before City Court Judge H. A Sharpe yesterday morning following institution of habeas corpus proceedings
 The four white men, who have been held in the county jail since their ar rest some time ago, are Frank Tombrello, Robert Stewart, Sam Trombrelo and Will Norman All are charged with murder, and Sam Tombrello has an additional charge of assault with intent to murder growing out of another case.
 The hearing was one of some length and was not concluded until the early afternoon. After the case had been gone over thoroughly Judge Sharpe allowed the 13 men bail in the sum of $l000 each. The white men were released on bond, but the negroes are still in jail.
 It will be recalled that during the latter part of the strike a number of strike- breakers were sent to Cardiff. In a gen. eral mix-up the negro Jones disappeared and nothing was heard of him until his dead body was found in the woods near Cardiff a few days after the difficulty. Coroner Paris investigated the case and caused the arrest of the 13 men, all of whom were striking miners.

ACCIDENT TO ENGINE.
Southern Train Delayed By Slipping
 of Tire on Driver.

The keen eye of the engineer on South ern passenger train No B, en route to Birmingham from Atlanta, probably saved his own life and that of large number of passengers who were coming to the Alabama State Fair from Anniston and other intermediate stations yesterday. morning.
 Just as the whistle blew for Weems. 1t was noticed that there was something wrong with the engine. An Investigation was immediately begun and it was discov- cred that the tire had slipped from the ball driver on the righthand side of the engine. The train was stopped, and trans ferred to a sidetrack by one of the en- zines of a passing freight until an other locomotive arrived from Birming- ham.
 It was stated by the railroad officials that if the accident to the engine had not been discovered when it was, the en- zine would almost inevitably have turned over with the result that several cars would probably have been wrecked As it was, however, the only effect of the accident was to cut the nuts off of the bolt fastenings for a distance of about half a mile, and a delay of about an hour in the schedule of the train, which arrived at 1:l5.
