Talks of Business Conditions

Speaking of the Hesent business
views in New York and the outlook
for the future Mr.. Brown said:
1.-THE conditions seemed to be better
and OF a stron ger tone than in some
time past. The interests, however, have
not exactly made up their minds about
the political revolution that occurred
recently. They wish to trust the DEM
ocrats in every possible way but the
minority party has been swept into
power so quickly and so forcibly that
the leaders cannot analyze the under
lying effects.
"T believe, as do large majority of
the fasteners, that business is better
today than it has been in some time.
Things look brighter and the future is
not at all day. I think Birmin CHAM
will go right ahead with large devel-
opments and that new interests here
will be found to have plenty of abil-
ity and courage to assist Birmingham
in her onward march to greatness

And He'll Never Come Back.

Among the bunch of "drunks and
disorderlies" appearing before
Judge Carey on Tuesday was a
racial admirer of Johnson, and when
the Judge gave him a suspended
sentence with strict orders to hop
the town he could not repress his
thanks to the court, telling the
Judge that "1ndeed l will, boss;
you'll never see me in this heah
town any more--at least not until
Johnson ticks Jeffries." And while
the Judge is not a follower of the
light fans, particularly, he could not
withhold the parting farewell to the
coon that that settled it; he would
never again be seen in Virginia if
his word was good.

vestigation OF the collision of trains
on the Williamsburg bridge last night,
in which one man was killed and four
seriously injured, the y. r. 4. officials
have given out a statement attributing
the accident to the sleet glazed tracks.
The signals worked all right. it is
stated; zone of the employees Is to
blame, and 1t was only the slipperiness
of the ice-coated rails that prevented
the emergency brakes from working
and restraining the heavy train in its
swift fight down the incline.
The dead: Henry Firsker, % years
old, ia De Kalb venue, guard.
The accident occurred at a time when
the Delaney street approach to the
bridge was heaving with a struggling
crowd of workers homeward bound.

and rain had covered the bridge struc-
ture, the rails. the streets, the cars
themselves with ice and any travel
was difficult. Trains were running in
and out Of the Manhattan terminal on
a two-minute Roadway.
