SUIT BROUGHT BY
 SCALDED NEGROES
TWO STREET FoREMEN IN BESSIE MFR ARRESTED FOR MiSTREAT- ING NEGRO PRiSONER-PERSo AL AND GENERAL NEWS.

Bessemer, August (Special.)-Suit was filed in the city court of Bessemer today by Jim Hines and John Clayton for $5OOO damages from the Republic Iron and Steel company. It seems that the company was using the Parsons patent blower on it's boilers. This device is used to make the fremen work and to notify the official when they are not do- ing so. When the steam pressure gets below 100 pounds the blower blows the whistle and the foreman knows that the firemen are not at work. Some time ago the pressure was increased by the com- pany to 19O pounds and the front of the boiler blew out badly burning the two men, The entire front of their bodies were scalded and it Is feared that one of the negroes will lose his eyes. The accident occurred at Raimund mines.
 C. R. Gilmore and William Foster, two street foremen of P. H. OBrien, were today arrested by Deputy R. T. Jones, charged with beating up one Of the pris- oners. According to MT. Jones. who was an eyewitness, one of the wagons was mired rather deeply and Foster ordered one of the negroes to get at the rear wheel and push the wagon out. When the negro was not pushing as. Foster thought he should Foster struck the ne- gro, knocking him up against the wagon, When the negro turned Foster kept on beating him with his fists and at last the negro showed fight and began to give as good as he received. At this Gilmore rode up on a horse and said, ..Kill the -" at the same time strik- ing the negro over the head with the butt of heavy whip that he carried, tnflicting rather serious scalp wound. At this point both men were arrested by MT. Jones' Mayor Lewis says that this must stop and George w. Jones says the same thing.
 The remains of William Shea were sent to St. Louis this afternoon by Kennedy Brothers. MT. Shea died last night at the Robinson hospital, after few days ill., ness. He has been in the district for A long time and was sachem Of the local tridbe of Red Men. who held sch vices over the body in the parlor Of Kennedy Brothers this afternoon MT. Shea is survived by mother and two sisters, who reside in St. Louis.
 The Board of Revenue was in the city today. looking over the two buildings that are being submitted to them for the city courts quarters. At the pres- ent time it looks as if the city court would remain in Rebie hall, as peti- ton has been gotten up by Judge Will liam Jackson and signed by nearly every lawyer in town to permit the court to remain in the Rebie hall. It is thought that the board will come to decision soon as some repairs will be necessary in either building and court convenes in September.

THE WIRING IS DAMAGED

Talladega, August 12.-(Special.) 1.-Two clouds met over Talladega last night coming up from the west and southwest giving the most terrifying electrical dis play that many had ever seen. A down pour of rain fell, washing away small bridges, overf1owing sewers and tearing up the streets. At the Louisville and Nashville crossing of East street the water was four feet deep. The freaks of the lightning were peculiar. The city was struck with five or six terrific bolts, the thunder following jarring the houses to their foundation. At the home or Ben Harrison, Esq, an elctric house switch was torn to fragments, portions of the switch being thrown across the room into the bathroom and two doors were un- locked Mrs. Harrison was alone, put her cries could not be heard on account of the roar of the storm. Just across the street lightning struck in front of J. A. Woodward tearing out street switch and throwing portions of it into MT. Woodwards house. A bolt landed on the spre of the First Presbyterian church.
  playing over the metal ceiling and melt ing a large nail in the ceiling, threw it on the cushion of a pew % feet away and set the cushion on fire The cushion slowly burned all night, and at o'clock this morning a fire alarm was turned in, as smoke was seen issuing from the church. The fire company promptly re- sponded and put out the fire with the loss of just one pew. There was but little wind with the storm.
 Marshal Strickland of Jenifer brought to jail two little negroes, aged respec- lively Ii and 12 years, who are charged with stealing from the cash drawer of the storekeeper at Ironaton. While the mer- chant was waiting on a customer the coons slipped to the drawer and helped themselves to small sums of money.
 Otis Kennedy, the negro who killed an- other in a craps game at Gantts quarry, has been caught and landed in Talla- dega jail A Coosa county sheriff picked him up on charge of carrying concealed weapons. and learning that he was want ed in this county, he communicated with Sheriff Middleton with the above re- suit.
 Recently a public-spirited and philan- thropic lady donated ball park to the city, which the street hands have graded and made suitable for the great national game Having completed this work the street force Is again at work on the ave- nues and boulevards of the city.
