CITY OF BIRMINGHAM
NOW ON A CASH BASIS
Deferred Interest Coupons to the Amount
of 9X69,000 Token Up Yesterday
Exchanged for ilomts.
Th© city of Birmingham is now on a cash
basis, for the first time in fiveyears, dur
ing which period she was compelled to
resort to due bills, which were taken up
yesterday to the amount of 120,000, rep
resenting deferred interest payments,
(through an arrangement made in 1895 with
the bondholders.
The interest due yesterday was promptly
met, a check for $4,200 having been mailed
to New York on Friday by City Treasurer
Eustis to take up the coupons.
The wiping out of the deferred coupon
debt was effected through Steiner Broth
ers, the well konwn bankers, by issuing 5
per cent. 30-yeaf bonds In exchange. The
accumulation of the debt which saved the
city from defaulting, resulted from an !
agreement entered into with the bond hold
ers five years ago, by which the payment
of one-half the interest on the bonds was
deferred until August 13, 1300.
The contract provided that the city 'be
given the option to exchange 5 per cent
8u-year bonds for the “deferred coupons”
at maturity, and the later method was
decided upon and the issue authorized and
approved by the City Council at a meeting
held last week.
MAKING PREPARATIONS
Newly Elected County Officers Will As
same Authority
Preparations are being made for the
transfer of the county offices to the newly
elected officers, most of whom have quali
fied.
The minutes of the Board of Revenue
were signed yesterday by Chairman Burk
halter, and all is in readiness to turn the
affairs of the office over to the new board
tomorrow, the personnel of which is as
follows:
A. J. Tarrant, J. K. P. Laird, W. A
"Wilson, H. W. Crook and Hugh McGeever
(re-elected).
Andrew Burgin, the incoming sheriff, has
filed his bond, as has also Coroner-Elect
Paris, and by the end of the week the new
regime will be in full charge.
There is some speculation as to the depu
ties and clerkships, and contests arc on
for several of the positions.

APPEAL FOR WORK
Great Procession of Laborers
March to San Juan.
CALLED ON GOVERNOR HUNT
He Told Them There Was Nothing Now
lor Them To Do, But Govern
ment Will Do All in
Its Power
San Juan, P. R., August 13.—More than
a hundred laborers with their wives and
children reached this city this morning,
after two days’ of weary marching without
food from San Lorerzo. a distance of twen
ty-seven miles. The procession, made up
of all shades and conditions, led by a
colored WQman with an American flag and
carrying banners on which were inscribed
the words “Give us Work,*’ marched quiet
ly through the city to the executive man
sion where a halt was made.
The spokesman then called upon Civil
Governor Hunt and explained that the ob
ject of the visit was to ask the govern
I ment to open, a road between Caguas and
San Lorenzo, thus enabling the laboring
classes of the district to get a livelihood.
He pointed out that at present there was
no work of any kind In that district and
that the people who were wholly depend
ent upon their daily earnings, were with
out bread and were suffering. Mr. Hunt
replied sympathetically and promised that
the government would do all in its power
to relieve the situation.
The delegation immediately retired, well
pleased with the interview and the proces
sion left the city an hour after it had en
tered and began the return journey.
Orders were promptly Issued for work to
be begun, on the road tomorrow and for the
employment of as many people as possible,
who might apply from the district. The
spokesman of the deputation had said that
there was no expectation of gratuitous gov
ernment assistance but merely a desire for
work. Official investigation snows that the
district in question is very bad off and that
no work of any sort has been in operation
there for some time.
it Is pointed out that the conditions are
partially due to the old system of govern
ment relief supplies which had a tendency
to pauperize the recipient and lead many
to believe that the government would in
definitely support the poor in idleness.
“THE BARLEY KING”
Henry J. O’Neill Has Filed a Petition in
Bank nip toy
Chicago, August 13.—A petition in bank
ruptcy was filed today in the United States
District Court by Iitnry J. O’Neill, com- I
monly called “The Barley King” and
known far and wide on account of his
transactions in that cereal. The amount of
his Liabilities is stated to be $442,491 and the
assets $5,000. Though financially embar
rassed for some time, it is satkl that the
final crash is a result of the publicity given
Mr. O’Neill's affairs when his wife, Evan
geline Claire O’Neill was forced into bank
ruptcy lust winter. The petition states that
$50,000 of his liabilities were contracted
jo-intly with Mrs. O’Neill and lists them
with his own debts.
Mrs. O’Neill ran up large accounts in her
husband's name and last fall, when the
promised payments for the goods were not
forthcoming her creditors became alarmed.
Mandel Bros., who are said to be her
largest creditors in Chicago, started bank
ruptcy proceedings. She left Chicago sud
denly and was finally located in Montreal.
Nothing was done after locating her. Her
creditors realised $15,000 from the sale of
goods recovered.

WARD AND BROWN 1!
WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
Victors in the Southeastern-Ten
nis Tournament.
BRING HOME THE TROPHY
Defeat Angier and Williams in the De
ciding Game Played in Atlanta Yes
terday-Presented With Beau
tiful Silver Cup
Coleman Ward and Charles Brown, of
this city, won their game of tennis in At
lanta yesterday, and thereby the cham
pionship of the southeast and a beautiful
silver cup. The game was won with ease,
the Atlantians, Angier and William** who
opposed them, not winning a set. The
scores were: 6—1, 6—4, 6—1.
Messrs. Ward and Brown returned from
Atlanta last night bringing the trophy of
their deserved victory.
The cup will be played for again next
year, and should Ward and Brown succeed
in winning It again it will be theirs.
Although Mr. Ward was last tn the con
test last Saturday, he still has a chance
to win the silver cup that goes to the
champion In the singles, as it has to be
won twice before It becomes the property
of anyone. Mr. Angier, who won from
Ward, is about n or 22 years of age.
A si>eciai from Atlanta give* the follow
ing acount ofc yesterdaq’s game:
Atlanta, August 13.—(Special.)—Clarence
Angier, Jr., and Sam Williams lost to T.
Coleman Ward and Charles Brown in the
South Atlantic States Challenge Champion
ship tennis match this morning. This is
as near a division of the honors of the great
tournament as could be brought about, An
gier having won the championship in sin
gles from Ward on last Saturdaj'. The
score in the singles was 10—8, 6—3, 5—7, 0—3.
The championship in doubles today went to
the Birmingham cracks by three straight i
sets, 6—1, 6—4, 6—1.
Allnnta Wtm Not in It
At no time did the Atlantians figure se
riously today. Neither Williams nor An
gur seemed to be on edge for the struggle
and although Angler did some beautiful
smashing and driving in the second set,
he did not hold the place long enough to
worry the other side. Williams was no
where near his usual placing game, while
Ward and Brown were both in superb
shape and took everything that was com
ing to them.
One of the greatest crowds of the tour
nament saw the match in doubles today.
It was scheduled to begin at 8:3o o’clock,
and at that time the crowd was on hand
prepared to sec some magnificent work.
Despite the earliness of the hour, there
were scores of ladies, in dazzling white
toilets, on hand, and they applauded vo
ciferously until Angier and Wiilianas lost,
and then some one threw a wet blanket
over the court.
I’erfect Team Flay
Ward and Brown put up the most per
fect team play this morning ever seen on
an Atlanta court. There was a beautiful
precision and an aparent knowledge of
what was coming next that kept them
always in position for whatever happened.
Frown’s back court play and Ward’s
hard work at the net was all that could
be.
In the first set the Atlantians barely fig
ured, but they were superbly confident
when they lilt the second and started out
to do business by taking the first game in
good style, the lanky Angler putting some
hot ones over the net that Ward and Buown
couldn’t handle with a baseball mit. The
next game was Ward and Brown's in quick
time, and the third went to them without
a struggle. Then Angler and Williams
braced up and managed to win out four
games of the set, where they stopped, their
opponents winning.
By the time the third set had begun there
was a certain lack of confidence in the
Atlanta boys, and at no time did they do
their best work. Ward and Brown practi
cally had everything their own way, win
ning by 6—1. When they won, there was a
moment’s slknce—the silence of disappoint
ment— then the lovers of the game were
generous and, hearty in their congratula
tions. Williams and Angier had lough t
hard to win, and their disappointment was
keen* still the smiling handsnake was given
with a wilL
lkormentetloD
Immediately after the game the president |
of the club, Mr. Burton Smith, presented
the cup. The championship in singles and
the Georgia State championship both went,
to Angler on Saturday. The cup for dou
bles was presented to Ward and Brown I
today. The two latter responded briefly
to the compliments of Mr. Smith, after
which there were calls for Angier and
■Williams. They responded, and then it
was all over.

GENERAL WHEELER
IS AGAIN A HERO
Saved the Life of a Twelve
Year-Old Son of Mr.
Bryan.
Chicago, August 13.—General Joseph
Wheeler, commander of the Department of
the Lakes, today sayed the life of William
Jennings Bryan, Jr., the 12-year-old son of
the Democratic candidate for the Presi
dency. The lad visited General Wheeler
and the latter after the first greeting turned
to work and allowed the yopngst. r to
amuse himself as best he could. Young
Bryan found a loose chair castor and a big
bundle of rubber bands. These he tied into
a long string and then securing the castor
to the bottom went to a window and began
bouncing the piece of iron up and down on
the sidewalk fifteen feet below. The Gen
eral, engrossed with his labors, paid no at
tention to the boy, who gradually became
so interested in his play that he leaned far
ther and farther out of the casement of the
window. General Wheeler happened to
glance uj> a. few moments later and was
horrified to see the lad hanging with his
whole body over the sidewalk and only the
toes of his shoes visible, clutching the an
gle of the. window. Hushing to the window
he pulled the lad by his legs and landed hipi
safely on the floor. Speaking of the occur
rence afterward General Wheeler acknowl
edged that young Bryan was within an inch
of being dashed to death on the pavement
below when he caught sight of him.

CAVALRY HORSES CHARGE
Break Out of Stable and Run Through
Jersey City
New York, August 13—Speeding at
breakneck pace and in close order of army
maneuvers, a band of cavalry horses
charged through the streets of Jersey City
tonight, sent citizens and carriages scurry
ing from their path, spurned a crowd of
hundreds of pursuing men and boys and
galloped over Hackensack brid&e into the
Harrison and Kearney meadows. In the
mad charge eight of them were killed by
1 a Lackawanna train and three fell into a
sewer excavation and were captured. The
horses belonged to the Fifth Cavalry, and
had just arrived from Porto Riuo. Twenty
live of the number were confined in one
part of the Central Stock Yards, kicked
down one side of the enclosure and made
a break for liberty. A train came along
just as the horses were crossing the Lack
awanna track. The locomotive dashed
into them, scattering them right and left.
Some were thrown into the air and one
