Big Steel Frame Structure Will Be Built on General
 CIarRs Corner
ID BE AMONG HANDSOMEST STORES IN TIE COUNTRY
General Clark Is Now Working On Biq Hotel To Be Located On Old Market House
 Site.

Birmingham is to keep right on in the matter of large buildings
 The Drennen Company has signed con- tract with Gen. Louis V. Clark to lease from him a six-story building, to be erected without delay at the northwest corner of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street. Negotiations between General Clark and the Drennens had been pend- ing for some time but were only closed yesterday.
 The site of the new building fronts 125 feet on the avenue and 40 feet on Twentith street. General Clark began the erection of a building on his. mammoth lot last year but after T. c. Thompson S. Bros, the contractors, had made the excavation and laid massive foundation walls. the work was stopped in order that the owner might have ample time to de- eide just what style of structure he would rear. At one time 1t was to be a garage: later on 1t was rumored that a skyscraper hotel would grace General Clark's corner; still later 1t was an- nounced that a temporary two-story building would be erected, to be re- placed by larger building when a lessee for such might come along Only few days ago General Clark stated that he was going ahead to put up temporary building.
 The signing of the contract yesterday for the Drennen department store means that one of the most notable improve ments in the business district will soon be in evidence. The Drennen Company has A very extensive and attractive es- tablishment where they now are on Sec ond avenue; but it is planned 10 make the six-story building one of the largest and most elegant department stores In the country It will be of steel con struction will have 265 feet of window front and will be of ornamental design. The lease is to run for 20 years and the building is to be ready for occupancy inside of year, probably by next spring when the Drennen Company's Second av- enue lease expires

This property has an area of 16o by 14o feet.

Six-Story Department Store

BASSFORD'S SLAYER
 IS KILLED IN MINE
NO REPORT OF MATTER WAS MADE TO CORONER AND INVES- TIGATlON WILL PROBABLY BE MADE AT ONCE.

The report made its way into Birming- ham yesterday that Joe Hinson, the Ital- ian convicted of the murder of Charles Bassford at East Lake last summer and who was sent to Pratt mines about two months ago to serve a 15-year sentence for the crime for which he was convict ed, was killed by electrocution several days ago while working in No. mines at Pratt City.
 By way of the death of the Italian in- teresting developments will probably fol- low within the course of the next few days. When called last night by tele- phone and asked when he would hold an official investigation of Hinson's death. Coroner Brasher stated that he had never been informed of the affair. Inquiry made by telephone communication with No. mines brought out the information the the Italian had been killed and that he was buried the day following the ac- cident.
 These facts bring about an interesting situation. If Hinsons body was removed from the mine and inferred without the matter being reported to the coroner an official investigation to ascertain the reason will probably be made and the results will doubt prove interesting. Under the law 1t is illegal to remove body where death has resulted from vio- lent causes without first notifying the coroner and receiving his consent. Coroner Brasher has heretofore been very positive with reference to the observance of this law
 Hinson, according to the information re- ceived. was killed by coming in contact with live wire while working off by himself, and when the body was found it was horribly burned. death evidently having been instantaneous. It will be re- called that Hinson was charged with having murdered Bassford while the lat ter slept, it being alleged that he virtually chopped off his head with an ax. Him. son was Bassford's roommate and tho trouble between the two men is said to have grown out of the matter of Bass- ford's dog sleeping in the house.

WOUNDED NEGRO
 LODGED IN JAIL

Deputy Sheriff Newt Curl yesterday captured Ed Washington, the negro whom he shot and badly wounded near smythe, between Birmingham and Besse- mer, about two weeks ago while trying to arrest him on 6 charge of grand lar ceny.
 Washington was arrested in a small house situated on the side of Red moun- tain below Idlewild. The negro is badly shot, having three wounds in his right leg and for want of the proper medical at rious and fear is entertained for the ne- gro's life.
 When arrested yesterday the negro bore two gunshot wounds in the calf of his leg and another just above the knee. Fearing arrest the negro has evidently been hiding out and apparently the wounds have not been attended to. All three of tho places have become morti- fled and it Is feared blood poison has set in. It is understood that tho negro's leg will be amputated In an effort to save his life.
 It will be recalled that Deputy Curl went to Smythe to arrest Washington for stealing lot of dynamite from the mining company there. He had appar- ently cornered his man when the negro broke and ran away, and succeeding in making good his escape after being shot three times in the leg.
 As soon as the negro was arrested yes- terday he was given attention, after which he was placed in the hospital ward of the county jafl on the charge of grand lar ceny.

Cecil Mitchell, a youth of about 20 years. was stabbed twice in the back last night by "Simp" Patterson at the corner of Twenty-fourth street and Avenue B and is probably fatally wounded. After the stabbing Patterson knocked Mitchell and then kicked him while he was upon the ground
 An ambulance of Lige Loy was sum- moned and rushed Mitchell to the Hill- man hospital. He was in a bad way when the hospital was reached and his condition is regarded as being very grave.
 Patterson made his escape after the af- fair and so far has succeeded in evading arrest. An order for his arrest was sent out to all policemen and they have hopes of catching him. The fight grew out of a trivial matter.

CHILD'S SKELETON
 FOUND IN ATTIC

A rather startling discovery was made a few days ago at the residence of Den- his Echos, @ prominent undertaken, at Ensley when the skeleton of an infant secreted in a small unused attic room of the Echols residence. The child had evidently been dead for more than year. The discovery was made by one of MT. Echo1s' servants who was cleaning Out the room adjoining the attic room. and Mr. Echols immediately reported the matter to Coroner Brasher. MT. Echols was greatly upset by the discovery and has been considerably annoyed, although the coroner's jury which investigated the case yesterday entirely exonorated him of any suspicion and returned a verdict that the infant had died from unknown causes.
 According to Coroner Brasher's state ment the bones which were found were tightly wrapped up in two skirts and around the neck of the skleton was found tied a woman's stocking. It is believed that the child was choked to death by means of the stocking and was hidden away in the little unused room.
 MT. Echols states that the attic room has never been used since he moved into the house about four years ago, but says that the room adjoining has number of times been rented. During the past four years quite a number Of people bava ensaged the room and 1t is inn nossible to trace the case down.
 The coroner's jury went into full in vastipatton of the discovery yesterday afternoon but could determine nothing and consequently returned it's verdict that the death was due to unknown causes.
