BODIES RECOVERED ]
 AT YOLANDE MINE
DAY-HILLHOUsE HAS NOT YET DECIDED WHAT CAUSED THE AC- CIDENT

Buried under fall of rock, horribly bruised and scared, the bodies of Mark Creek and Dan Thomas, who were killed in the local explosion at Yolande mine No. 1 Friday morning, were reached yes terday afternoon at 3;30 o'clock. Chief Mine Inspector James TIillhouse and J. B. McClary, president of the Yolande Coal company, returned to Birmingham last night and stated that the bodies had been brought to the surface.
 The discovery of the bodies entailed was first anticipated. After working for "A hours constantly a consultation was held yesterday at noon by MT. Hillhouse. Inspector Neil and the superintendent of the mine. It was decided to enter the mine from the heading, which was done. The bodies were found after the rescue party went through an old heading and wandered through some abandoned rooms and workings. The men were lying side by side, having been killed by the fall about 200 feet from the heading.
 The announcement was made last night that the mines were in fine condition and work would be resumed tomorrow morn- ing without any delay. The chief inspec- tor said the explosion was local and that he had not yet determined the cause. Mr. Hillhouse said he would return to Yolande this week with his two associate inspectors and a thorough examinations of the mine would be made. He said ap- parently there was nothing wrong with the Yolande mine and that he did not feel anywise uneasy about working in the place.
 Inspector Dickinson was detailed to re- main at Yolande yesterday until todays when it is probable he too will return to his home here.
 The little coal city of Yolande has been the scene of two unfortunate affairs dur ing the past few days. Only last Sunday the entire city was thrown into gloom by the killing of two well known men of the community. Their funerals had scarcely taken place when the lives oe five more citizens of the little hamlet were snuffed out by the explosion.

EVERYTHING READY
 FOR MAJORS CASE
HAVE BEEN SUMMONED FOR TRIAL OF FIREMAN CHARGED WITH TRAINwRECKING

Everything is thought to be now in readiness for the trial of William Majors, the Louisville and Nashville fireman charged with murder and train-wrecking. Ed Irwin. the negro assistant fireman, who was wanted as a star witness for the defense, failed to arrive last Mon- day until after dark and the case had to be postponed a week.
 Jere C. King, one of the attorneys for Majors. stated yesterday that the de- fense was in readiness for the trial. He expressed regret that the trial had to be postponed, but stated that the import ance of Irwin as a witness for the de- fense could be easily realized. Irwin was helper to Majors the train on which the accused was fireman, and he had the engineer were the only men who can tes- tify as to Majors actions directly pre- vious to the wrecking of the northbound passenger at Cunningham. The freight was backed in the siding at Cunningham on the night of the wreck, and it was due to an open switch that the northbound passenger, No. 4, collided head-on with the freight. William Young and Harry Wilson, the fireman and mail clerk on the passenger, were killed in the col lision. Irwin and the engineer of the freight jumped and were not seriously hurt.
 The fact that witnesses testify that Majors left his engine few minutes be- fore the wreck is considered important by a q is cpf n a gone only about four minutes. however, and the defense will hold that it would have been impossible for him to walk as far as the switch, which was 23 rail lengths from the engine, throw the switch and return.
 The trial from all indications will be much longer than usual, as there are about 100 witnesses to be examined. more than 60 of whom are witnesses for. the state. Witnesses have been summoned from cities as far as St. Louis and Cin- cinnati, as railroad detectives have been called from those places. The most dam aging evidence against Majors, the de- tectives claim, consists of letters in their possession which Majors Is suspected of writing to officials of the company.
 Another capital docket is set this week in the criminal court, and will be heard by Judge S. l.. Weaver in the first di- vision. The docket is as follows: John Gale, robbery; Clarence Lange, Roy Gardner, Andrew Ramage. robbery; Ar thur N. Gilbert, robbery; Robert Couch, M H. Persons, robbery: R. H. Alex ander, murder Ivy Sanford, murder; Ad- die Harris, murder; Lizzie Hubbard, mur- der; Tom Crane, Walter Crane, murder; Cullom Ray, murder; Charles Emory, murder; William Majors, murder.

The same Old Story

There has been a surprising num- Der of inquiries as to the information good many people are hoping will be received at police headquarters in regard to the latitude of the missing ciairvoyant, Madame Vollmer, who sailed away from Bessemer early in the week, "a1l laden with silver and gold.'
 Strange to say, there were a number of people whose superstitions prevent ed them from discriminating between the strong box of robber and the charm chest of an enchantress and many valuables were deposited with Madame vollmer which were to be re- turned later. endowed with good luck by her incantations.
 It is reported that two valuable dia- mond rings were left with the woman by Birmingham party and many oth- CT costly articles besides, tn tough, in such cases, 1t is difficult to determine to just what extent the confidence of the people have been placed in a hum bug.
