Birmingham Interested

J. T. Slater. manager of the freight bureau of the Merchants and Manufac- turers' association of Birmingham. is giv- ing MT Kealhofer cordial assistance in seeking to improve the Alabama port con- ditions, thinking that thereby the interior cities of the state are necessarily com pelled to reap the benefits. MT. Slater has expressed himself as of the opinion that the establishment of an independ- ent boat line, to compel cheaper rates, would at the same time give Mobile more Alabama business than Savannah.
 A significant fact is that the rates on commodities from Savannah to Birming- ham are less than the rates from Mobile to Birmingham, despite the fact that Sa- yannah is farther away.
 MT. Kealhofer states that he has been invited to visit Mobile in interest of the line, and that he expects to do so within short time.

FOUR NON-UN|ON
 MEN INJURED Set Upon By Unknown Men While at Work on
 Avenue B

While at work during the middle of the afternoon yesterday on the new building of Jebeles & Colias, confectioners, at Ave nue B and Twenty-second street, Jim Thompkins and Frank Galloway, plaster CTS; L. A. Hargreaves, plumber, and Z' NJ Brown, an electrician, all non-union men, were suddenly set upon by four un- known workers, said to be union men, and so badly beaten up that three of them had to be taken to St. Vincents hospital, where one of them still lies injured se- verely about the head.
 None of the four workers was expecting an attack, consequently they were taken by surprise, and badly beaten with brass knucks, pieces of pipe and cut with knife before they were aware of any trouble and had time to defend them selves from their assailants. Neverthe- less the non-union men braced up for the fight and waged the contest so bitterly that they forced the attacking party out of the building down a back way, where the alleged unionists were finally hemmed in, and, as 1t seemed, caught, until one of them putting his hand In his hip pocket, threatened to shoot down the first man who advanced
 The situation becoming thus perplexed 1t was thought best that one of the non- union men should go summon the police. whereupon the forces of the combatants being left in disparity the four assailants
 renewed the attack on the three non-
 union men, overwhelmed them and made
 good their escape.
 The strangest part of the affair was th'
 11fter inability of the non-union worker!
 to identify their assailants.
 Sergeants Bagley and Hawkins of the
 police department answered the call, but were unable to find out anything very definite about the difficulty, other than that four unknown men had visited the place of the building and that three of them entered the building and proceeded to beat up the plasterers and the plumber while fourth remained on the outside As an outpost and was engaged in con- versation with the electrician working at the front.
 The descriptions of the four men were furnished to the police department as follows: No. 1. p years old, very tall. 165 pounds, blue serge suit and black derby; No. ?, 25 years old, feet, inches high, 40 pounds weight, black suit and soft hat; No. 3. 25 years old, feet, inches high, dark pants and light coat and soft hat; No. 1, 2s years old, feet, inches high. 1S0 pounds weight, blue coat and dark striped trousers, wearing union painters button.

Practical Instances

As an evidence of the good that would be derived from the organization of an independent steamship line, facts concern ing the rates between New York and Gal weston and New York and Mobile are cited by MT. Kealhofer, as gleaned from the most recent tariff of the Mallory Steamship company.
 A few of these facts show that Calves ton, though about 700 miles further from New York than Mobile enjoys a better rate on a number of commodities than does the city of Mobile A few of the commodities in question are:
