TO BUNCH ALL SUITS
VIRGINIA MINE OWNERS WIN
 THEIR POINT.
Supreme Court Decides Company Has Right to Reduee Cost of
 Mitigation By Runchimg

Another echo of the fearful disaster at Virginia Mines, where three years ago over one hundred men met their deaths. was sounded in the Alabama Supreme Court yesterday when de- cision favorable to the Southern Steel Company was rendered.
 The Southern Steel Company the owner of the Virginia Mines. to avoid the unusual multiplicity of damage suits which have grown out of this holocaust, wanted to bunch all the cases and try the general question or their liability in a. single cause. To this end the company's counsel, in the case of Wiley Hopkins, as administra- tor, ct al. applied to the Jefferson Chancery Court in Birmingham for an injunction to restrain all of the sey- eFaI suits against the corporation until the Chancery Court could give a gem .eral hearing of the liability feature of the cases.
 In the lower court this effort to consolidate the cases failed as the Chancellor dismissed the petition for an injunction for want of equity. The substance of the Supreme Courts de- cision of yesterday is to point out suf- ficient equity for an injunction. The effect of the decision is to reverse the dismissal of the Chancery Court and to order the Chancellor to grant the injunction.
 It is generally supposed that this estops all pending suits against the Southern Steel Company in any of the courts of Alabama until the injunction is tried. Then. it is believed, that the question of theN liability of the com pany will be settled and either the court will decide the amount of the liability in each individual suit by the jury, or a master in Chanceryswiu be aupointed to take evidence to fix the judgments.

Summary of House.

Washington, Feb. 13.-General de- bate on the legislative appropriation bill was brought to close In the House of Representatives today after a session full of interest and entertain ment. Several speeches were made on the issues of the day, the most nota- ble by Champ Clark, of Missouri, who commanded the attention of the House for an hour and a half.
 Upon the conclusion of his remarks he was accorded an ovation by Demo crats and Republicans alike. MT Clark arraigned the Republicans for their attitude on the tariff question ana said that the announcement that there would be a revision of the tariff arter election was simply in preparation or another stupendous confidence game on the people" He discussed the Pres ident's message and said that what ever his virtues or his faults the Pres ident was not a Democrat.
 Other speakers were Messrs- Rainey' of Illinois, Tirrelh-- of Massachusetts; Gillett, of Massuchestt and Hammond, of Indiana, all of whom discussed various phases of the tariff question.
 At 5:OS the House adjourned.

DEATH IN CESS POOL
CHILD MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
 IN DRY WELL.
Had Been Dead Some Time When Lat-
 tie Playmate Finds Hody--Hot- ten Covering Caved

Toddling about the yard in which he had played all the years of his little life; Robert Andrew Davis, the S-year- old son of Mir. and Mrs. J. A. Davis, of 16 Third Avenue in West End. fell into an old dry we'll on the premises yes- terday morning and was drowned. ;. When he was found by tiny com panion he had evidently been dead for some time.
 While no one was with the little boy when he fell to a horrible death the details were very readily presumed from the incidents in which he had part during the day. He was first missed by his parents about il o'clock. He had gone into the yard perhaps half an hour before. His moth CT. seeking, could not find him, yet was not thoroughly alarmed, thinking that he perhaps was wandering in the neighborh ood. She continued the vain search, however.
 It was one of his little playmates who found him. He found a cave in the earth, and when he peered down into the darkness he espied the body of little Robert Davis floating in the cess-pool that lay at the bottom of the well. So soon as the parents of the boy were informed they recovered the corpse.
 It was apparent that the old sup ports of the dry well, utilized as a receptacle for sewerage, had given way when Robert. running over the moist earth adjacent, was so near as to be precipitated. His body was floating when it was found.
 MT. and Mrs. Davis. it is said, did not know of the existence of the dry well, which was about ten feet square and eight feet deep. It was seem ingly covered many years ago and then forgotten. Coroner w. H Tice, who viewed the body. gave verdict of death by accidental drowning. The funeral arrangements had not been aa- nouuced last night.
