TALLY CASE JURY
 STILL HANGS FIRE
NOON AND LATE INTO THE NIGHT THEY WERE PERMITTED TO GO HOME

The case of Ben Tally against the Alabama Western railroad Is still in the hands of the jury. At a late hour last night it was announced from the room that the men were hopelessly apart and that no verdict in the case would be agreed upon for several hours. Later the l members were excused by the United States deputy marshal in charge and per mitted to go to their homes for the night. They will report again this morning and go over the case until verdict has been reached. It was rumored last night that the vote was 10 to on the case. It could not be ascertained whether this was in favor of the defendant or the plaintiff. The chief point in issue is said to be the correct definition of rock and upon this point the jury is said to be hanging. A definition of this species of meneral substance may throw the case either way
 The case has been In progress for a week. At the converting of court yes- terday morning Walker Percy for the Alabama Western, started his address be- fore the jury. He spoke for one hour and 30 minutes.
 General Luke E. Wright followed Mir. Percy in a brilliant address. He spoke plainly of the facts in the case and closed after being before the jury about one hour and 45 minutes.
 The charge of Judge William I. Grubb followed. It was crisp. short and very much to the point. Judge Grubb in- structed the jury to the law relating to the case and in the methods of their de- Alterations.
 Upon retiring w. T. Cox, president of a local mercantile establishment, was elected foreman. The case was given them at 1 o'clock and the jurymen were excused until o'clock for lunch. Dur ing the afternoon they were hotly dis tablshed that no verdict was possible the jurymen lounged around reading pa pers and smoking.
 Unless a verdict is returned today the men will be excused and a mistrial en- tered.
 Gen. Luke F. Wright left for his home last night. Ben Tally. the plaintiff, re- mained here to hear the result. General Wright said prior to leaving that he was very much impressed with Birming- ham and enjoyed every minute of his stay here. He said that the attorneys in Birmingham had received him and Ca- ruthers Ewing with marked hospitality and consideration, for which he thanked them very much. He added that he would be here again in the Southern Wholesale Grocers association litigation.

OVER A MILLION
 FARES COLLECTED
STREET RAILWAY HAULED MORE PEOPLE BY FAR THAN EVER BE- FORE IT EXCEEDED REUIoN WEEK BY 100000

Last week 1050,00o street car fares were collected by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. which was an increase of 2oOo50 over the number col- lected during the week of the Confederate Veterans reunion. President A. H Ford of the company made the announcement officially yesterday.
 Last week, therefore, easily holds the record for the largest crowd ever ham dled in Birmingham in the same length of time.
 The general impression during the last few days of the week was that more persons had been in the city than ever before. However, no official figures were obtainable until the Birmingham Rail- way. Light and Power company com- pleted its compilations yesterday
 President Ford said that the crowds spoke volumes for the greatness and pop ularity of Birmingham and showed that the city is coming to be great metropo- lis. We are very much gratihed at the showing said MT. Ford. "and we are proud of the way our employees handled this multitude. Of the million persons who boarded our cars not one was injured and no reports of mistreatment have been received. Some of our motormen and con- ductors worked many extra hours each day and naturally became greatly fa- tigued during the last few days. No one week in Birmingham has ever been filled so completely with great events, memor- able occasions and incidents"
