 And they didn't go to work. Accord ingly the warden preferred charges against them, and the case was heard before Judge Feagin. MT. Waldrop and the cook testified that care was always taken in feeding the prisoners, pains being taken to throw out anything that was not fresh and all right, and several prisoners stated that they had no com plaint to make.
 Warden Waldrop stated that he thought the whole trouble had been brought about by the 'kicl1ing' of Pink Bryant who was arrested some time ago and given a heavy sentence for violating the prohibit ton law. Pink was disposed of yester- day. He was sent to Flat Top
 The strikers could not make out their case to the satisfaction of Judge Feagin and, accordingly, he fined each of them an additional $5 flor refusing to work after sentence"

WARRANTS SERVED
 ON THE DEPUTIES
CORONER PARIS DISCUSSES THE PHILLIPS CASE-DEPUTY WILL BE GIVEN PRELIMINARY HEAR. ING TOMORROW MORNING.

All of the 50 warrants sworn out for the arrest of deputy sheriffs by union miners, their wives and others, have been served, and the deputies placed under ar. rest. With the exception of Resident Deputy Sheriff Frank Phillips of Republic all of the deputies made bond imme diately.
 Deputy Phillips was confined in the county jail yesterday morning, a charge of murder being docketed against him. A preliminary trial will be given him tomorrow morning before Judge Benners
 Coroner Paris made an investigation of the Republic difficulty Sunday and stated yesterday upon his return that in his opinion Deputy Phillips was Justified in his actions in the recent shooting there Said Coroner Paris: "From all I could gather from both the union men and others around Republic Deputy Phillips 'n~nnot be blamed for the action he took. IL was shown that the union miners had gathered, there being over a hundred of them armed Deputy Phillips told them that they would have to go home and put up their guns and they promised to do so. It appears, however, that few of the hot-headed ones decided to remain armed, and the difficulty arose when Dep uty Phillips told them it would be neces- sary for him to take them to headuuar- ters.
 "This action on his part was resented by some of the men, and it was clearly proven that the negro Dennis had been one of the first to raise his gun and point it at the deputy. stating that he could not arrest him."
 It is also said that a number of other warrants are to be sworn out against deputy sheriffs. The charges contained in the warrants already served vary from assault to murder.

When asked last night whether
 the cavalry troops which were or dered to Birmingham from Mont gomery yesterday would be as-
 , signed to duty in the strike dis trict, Governor Conner stated that this matter mad not yet been de- cided upon. The governor also
 stated that he did not care to be quoted in regard to what he thought of tn e situation.
 He will not allow the National Guard to leave the state, however,
 until the strike situation takes a
 decided turn for the better. In this connection he said:
 Under the circumstances I dos not think it would be altogether wise to allow the militia to leave
 the state at the present time. Things have been quiet during the last day or two, but l think it
 best to be prepared in case any thing should arise. The troops will be held in readiness in Bir- mingham and should the necessity arise will be put into the coal dis trict affected by the strike imme- diately."

When seen yesterday J. D. Collins had nothing to say about his rumored candi- dacy for Mayor. He said he had not decided to run, although many people had suggested it to him. Judging from the fact that but five days for work re main, it is not probable that anyone will come out George Ward has stated posi- lively that he is not even considering the matter.
 The closing week promises to be an ex- ceedingly dull one. People have lost much of their interest in the race since they find that they will have no selection to make for Mayor. The public meetings have come to an end, unless some candi- date gets lively and only the jabber Of

6ustrial cities of the south, aad their county, Hamilton. IS plshng along at the same rate, w.th up-to-date modern improvements. They are building two tunnels now. Shall we lag benina in Jeff ferson? No; for we have every natural advantage, ut we mIst no. gc to sleep. We must pus", and keep where we be- the south.
 Our people a.. as nI5li, spirited as any and do not mind paying taxes when they know that they are properly used
 in public improvements that will pay it back tenfold in a few years. The bene- fit to be derived by Birmingham in the trade from that country, from Red moun- tain to the line of Shelby, will more than compensate her for her part of the ex- pense. Besides, the city owns a tract of 160 acres that is practically of no bene- fit to her, being used at present as pauper cemetery, and when the tunnel goes through, giving easy access to this property, it will increase in value 500 per cent. The difference in the value of the land now and when the tunnel goes through would more than pay for the city's part of the work.
 Therefore, let us get to work and do things'-that is the way to drive hard times and panics from our door. Put everybody to work and open up that country away beyond Shades mountain, and in a few years our streets will be crowded with wagons laden with fruit, peaches, apples and grapes, which for size and flavor will far surpass anything in France, sunny Italy or the golden slopes of California.

The estimated cost of the fixtures for the structure is $300n, which would run the total cost of the building up to nearly $22.500. Mayor Perryman stated that this was too steep.
 In order that the cost of the build ing might be cut down within the limit the plans were turned back to the building committee, which will consult the architect with a view of seeing how the cost may be decreased.
 The council then went into executive session to consider bids on the plumn ing for the three public sch ools

BACK FROM QUEBEC Colonel John w. Lowe Attended the 300th Anniversary of
 City's Foundation.
WENT WITH BOSTON PARTY
Part of Guard of Honor to Prince of Wales at Decoration of
 Wolfe Tomb.

Col. John w. Lowe has returned from Quebec where he attended the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the city by Cham plain, and Is staying at his summer cottage at Woodmont. The other members of the party from Connecti- cut vera: Major Cheney of Hartford and Captain Wilcox of Berlin These with General Goooale and his son, Captain Goodale of Boston, were the guests of the British Naval and Milf tary Veterans of Boston on the jaunt up and back. The delegation from Boston was 30 large that twenty spec ial cars on the Grand Trunk line were required to take the people to Quebec.
 In Quebec Col. Lowe says he had the time of his life. The many ma. tionalites there, the various uniforms, the extravaganza of the entertainment all added to the spectacle. The peo- pie of Quebec were generous, and everyone entered into the spirit of the celebration.
 Col. Lowe and his companions were guests one day on board the American warship, New Hampshire, and also attended the Crown Princes ball In the parliamentary building. The greatest honor of all came when the Boston delegation acted as the guard of honor to the Prince of Wales, the day the grave of Gen. Wolfe was dec- orated.
 Because of the various courtesia as shown the guests of the Veterans of Boston, British sword was presented Lieut.-Col W. McNamara of the Yet erans by Col. Lowe and his compln- ions. It had been planned to have Lord Roberts, under whom Col. Me- Namara had served, make the pre- sentation, but he was unable to come. AT the presentation, A. F Fletcher. d member of the Royal Society of Can ada, and one of the assistants at the premier's office, made an address of the good feeling now existing between the British in the United States and Canada.

 T also know that Governor Wood ruff will do no more than he has 1one in announcing himself as candidate for reelection. His position is that if the people of Connecticut want him to be reelected he will take the nom nation, and If elected, do the best ne knows how for the good of the whole.
 T know he is not tied up to any faction whatever. and has never made any promises or agreements with my body. l think 1 know the man well eiough, after taking the position he has taken that he will not be influ- enced by anyone to pull out and an nounce that he Is not candidate.
 Some of his friends may have told MT. Lilley, what Mir. Llley claims was promise from Mir. Woodruff that if he, Lilley pulled out and made 1t plain sailing for MT. Woodruff to get the nomination and election in 1906, that he would give his supper, to Mir. Lilley as his successor. Know Ing the man as l do, I positively know he has never made any such promise
 His position is simply desire to do whatever the voters of Connecticu. as whole want to have him do, and there Is no fear of any influence being brought to bear to cause him to re- cede from his position, which is sim ply this; should he be re-nominated he will accept the nomination and dc what is best and right to be elected
