NEW CHURCH AFTER QUARTER CENTURY Fifty-sixth Street Baptist Will Hold First Services
 Next Sunday

Exactly 25 years after taking possession of the present wooden structure that has served them since the first Sunday in February of 1887. the congregation of the Fifty-sixth Street Baptist church Of Woodlawn will hold their first service in their handsome new edihce on Fifty-sixth street and First avenue next Sunday.
 The auditorium of the church will be formally put into commission as a place of worship at this time with a simple opening observance, as the dedcatory exercises will not be held until the com pletion of the entire building.
 The foundation of the Ffty-sixth Street Baptist church, which is one of the most striking in the Birmingham district, were laid some four years ago under the pas torate of the Rev. Austin Crouch, who is now serving a charge at Dallas, Tex, Tn company with Mrs. Crouch, who was be- fore her marriage of last fall Miss Myrtle Oldham, one of the most beautiful and popular of the Woodlawn girls. But the panic of three years ago delayed the con struction by the financial depression of those days and the resumption of work on the new building did not occur until  about two years ago.
 The renewal of effort for the completion of the church house already begun wns coincident with the advent of the present pastor Rev. w. M. Anderson, who has endeared himself to his membership and the community by his ministerial ability The portion of the building to be used for the Sunday school department is yet in state of construction, but the increasing numbers in the congregation demanded larger assembly facilities so the audi torium was finished earlier to accommo- date this need
 The last services in the old church that has housed this congregation for the past quarter of a century were held yesterday. with Dr, Anderson officiating, and the ac- tlvties connected with the moving arc expected to be accomplished with the ex- piration of a few days. The Sunday school pupils will divide their classes be- tween the old and new structures. as the former is only block distant from the latter,

IMPORTANT RULING
 IN BAGGAGE CASE
Company Responsible Only to Amount Specified on Back of Special
 Rate Ticket

The limit of a railroads liability upon baggage checked under a reduced tariff or special or excursion rates cannot go above the limit expressed in the con- tract or tariff under which the ticket Is sold was the ruling or the circuit court of the United States for the western dis trict of Michigan, in the case of Ida Belle Henley, by Warren Henry. her next friend (husband) against the Illinois Gen. tral railroad.
 The lady, it is stated, purchased a ticket to New Orleans from Grand Rapids on account of the shrine convention, and her baggage was checked upon that re- duced ticket upon the back of which it was printed that the liability of the com pany would not exceed $100. The baggage was lost or ruined and suit entered.
 The plea of the attorneys ranged from the fact that an infant, a person under 21 years of age, cannot enter into a binding contract to the rulings of interstate tar- ffs. effecting baggage limitations.
 The ruling of the court was that the lady could not recover.

NEARLY TWO INCHES
 OF RAIN YESTERDAY
Heavy Downpour Became Heaviest Late in Afternoon-More Pre-

The rain yesterday afternoon did more than to dampen the atmosphere and the ground. It dampened the spirits of Bir- mingham people appreciably, for they had been pretty much cheered up after week of ideal weather for poets, lovers and so forth.
 Local Observer E. C. Horton stated that at o'clock last night the precipitation had been 1.93 inches. He added that the rain would keep up all during the night intermlttently and would continue through today, but would possibly let up by to- night That is what he is looking for, anyway.
 The rain was harder between and 5 O clock yesterday afternoon than at any time during the day. It started about 10 o'clock yesterday morning.

SANDSTONE SLIDES
 TO RAILROAD TRACK
Believed Serious Accident Was Avert ed By Discovery of Warden
 Jack Brown

The timely happening along of War den Jack Brown, of the county jail, yes terday afternoon, prevented what might have terminated in 0 serious railroad wreck near Irondale
 MT. Brown was coming to work from his home in Irondale and had reached the corporate limits of the town when he arrived at a deep cut In the rail roads right of way. where the road is double tracked He looked up the cut and saw that about two tons of sandstone had slid from the sides of the cut onto the track completely forming a barrier on one track.
 At the same time he heard the rum ble of an approaching train and getting out of his buggy he Jagged the train. which proved to be freight, and to- gether with the crew went to work to clearing the debris from the track.
 Just as they got the track in passable shape, the fast Seminole Limited of the Illinois Central was heard coming. Had he not noticed the tracks it is the opinion of railroad men that a serious accident might have been the result as the pile of stone was just around curve in the cut and could not be seen until the train was right on it.

 HIT BY STREET CAR
Boy on Bicycle in West End Dragged Some Distance Before the Car
 Could Be Stopped

Willie Hayley. aged 1s years, was struck yesterday morning by a trolley car in West End, at Charles street and Tuscaloosa avenue, and badly bruised about the face and legs.
 The boy was riding a bicycle when the car struck him and he was dragged quite a distance before the car could be stopped. It is regarded by witnesses as almost a miracle that he was not killed. The boy states that he does not know how the car came to him him and no one else can give an accurate description of the beginning of the accident. It seems that no one knew anything about 1t until he was discovered mixed up with the car.
 Shaw & Sons ambulance was called and he was taken to the home of his parents, ell Princeton avenue, as It was not deemed necessary to take him to a hospital He is the son of MT. and Mrs. J. O. Hayley.

WORLDS TIN TRADE
LOST BY SWANSEA
Stubborn Tin Plate Manufacturers
Lose Large Business to Fight
$50, British Strike -. =. -.

WASHINGTON, July e5.-Accord-
ing to an article in a recent daily
consular report the recent coal strike
in Great Britain caused great damage
to the tin plate export trade in
Swansea. The: exports of tin plates
for May, 1912, show total of only
1896 tons, a loss of 1875, tons
compared with the same month of
1911.
Swansea has lost not only it's en-
tire export trade of tin plates to the
United States, but many of it's i'm
portant markets, especially in the far
east, where the Welsh tin plates were
In competition with the American
product.
In the warehouses of the Swansea
dock and in stock there is larger
supply of tin plates than ever known
in the history o fthe port. .
This record increase in, stock is
due to the loss of markets as we'll as
to the congestion in shipping fol-
lowing the resumption of work in
the coal mines. The present stagna-
tion in the shipping trade of this
port will no doubt tend to lose fur
ther markets to the Welsh. tin plate
trade.
