 RENOwN, IS DEAD.
His Suit Against standard Oil Magnate Caused Estrangement Between
 the Rockefeller
 Brothers.

Cleveland. O., Dec 24--JameS Corri gan, 79 years old, who had a bitter financial struggle with John D. Rocke- feller about fifteen years ago, and who has since made millions in ore, coal, vessel and furnace industries, died here today from the effects of an operation for appendicitis, recently performed.
 Mir. Corrigan was the leading mem- ber of the firm of Corrigan, Mckinney & Co.,, iron ore and pig iron, and was President of three Pennsylvania fur mace companies.

Within a month it was sell ing for 9185. Corrigan sued John D. Rockefeller, claiming the oil magnate knew the stock must go up, and that as trustee, should have put him b possession of these facts. The case, which received national attention, went to the highest court, and Corrigon lost. It was these suits. 1t is claimsd. that caused an arrangement between the brothers, Frank and John D.

LANE coNsIpERs DECIsIoN
Greater Birmaashaaa Act Argued in
 Court

Court
 Birmingham. Dec 24.--(Special. )--The question of whether or not H. L. Martin should be eusted as alderman from the Tenth ward. Avonadie, has been taken under advisement by Judge A. c. Lane. of, the circuit court.
 The question came up this morning on quo warranto papers filed by E. w. Mckinney, seeking to cust Mir. Martin on the ground that the election Dy which Avondale became part or Birmingham was illegal.
 The plantiff attacked the constitu- tionality of the Greater Birmingham act and held that the election under which Avenadle became part of Blrm- ingham was legal.
 When the arguments were con- cIuded shortly after the noon hour all the attorneys announced they would prepare briefs and Judge Lane said he would take the matter under advisenient until after Christmas.
 The strongest point raised had to do with the manner in which the King act was passed. An affidavit from the secretary of the state was produced to the effect that the re- cords do not show that the bill was regularly reported by the committee which considered It.
 The attorneys for the other side brought out the facts. that the bill was placed on the adverse calendar when first considered and for that reason no record of 1t was made. It was also brought out that when the King Greater Birmingham act was considered it was taken from the adverse calen- dar.
 This Is said to be the reason the records may not show any action in the committees room. if such Is the case.
