what we are Talking About.

The Eighth street cars ran crowded on
Christmas Eve and all day yesterday.
Their trips were frequent and they made
good time. and many persons made the
round trip Just for the novelty Of the
thing. But the trouble and annoyance
caused by the swinging doors to the en-
closed platforms was OF the most aggra.
waiting character The platforms were
crowded and the doors were so much in
the way that they obstructed ingress and
egress. A substitute for such cumber-
some nuisances should be quickly found.
In the meantime they should be removed
alltogather or securely fastened back, and
onlf closed in extreme cold weather; and
not then if the traffic is great.
There were several scrapes in the
vicinity OF Eighth and Church streets
yesterday, the most serious Of which was
effectually quelled by Officer Zerby. The
excitement occasioned by these melees
must have reminded the old citizens Of
that section of the stirring times
which followed the war, when
fights were an every day oc
currence. David Wingate. now special
officer and watchman for the p, w. & j.
Railroad CompaAy, was then police
officer in that section, the late Joshua
Valentine being mayor at the time. The
efficiency Of Wingate as an officer and
his personal courage as a man were
household words in those days. Money
was plentiful and the neighbJrhood
of Seventh and Church streets was a
perfect nest of houses Of ill-repute,
which were nightly the scenes Of
savage and bloody fights The war
spirit was still rampant and stone fights
among the boys Of the different sections
Of town were an every day occurrence
The boys in the neiRhborhood Of Seventh
and Church not TO be behind some Of the
elders formed an organization known as
the Old Church Rangers and
there was standing challenge to the
boys of any section Of the town
who would like to have a
battle. Brickbats and oyster shells
were the missiles most In favor. Officer
Wingate did much to bring peace about
again, and things settled down for some
years, until the latter part Of the admin
istration OF ex-Mayor Simms, when a
gang of New York toughs made
their headquarters In this section, and
inaugurated a reign Of terror swapping
their fingers at the police, Detective
Jones was appointed a patrolman about
this time, ana he went to work TO break
up the gang. which he speedily did.
His arrest Of New York Jack, member
Of that gang was one Of the most diff
cult pieces of police work ever done in
this city, the officer and Jack fghting for
nearly half an hour When Officer Jones
at last got the better of the tough po-
liceman and prisoner were both covered
with blood But things have changed
in that locality and there is no more
quiet and orderly section Of the city now
than what is known as the "Old Church
A great many Of the roughs have moved
away and some have died, others are in
prison and none are missed.
The Morning News story of the Hart
ley tragedy was highly 'colored though
Peterson was not such white" man

STEALING A LOCOMOTIVE.
The Thief Misses Collision, Is shot at,
sud zlakes His Fscape.


MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec PA locomo-
tive has just been stolen from the Alabama
Great Southern road at Tuscaloosa in SEN
sational manner The thief enjoyed a ride
OF eight miles, and narrowly missed coli
lision with a freight train. He was shot at
when he leaped from the running engine,
and escaped.
To the officials of the road the affair is a
mystery. freight train is made up at
Tuscaloosa late at night. Wednesday night
a, waited for the southbound express TO pass,
nd the engine was on a siding, uncoupled
lom the train just after the express
assed. the freight train crew saw a man
brow the switch open to the main track,
zap into the cab Of the engine, open the
hrottle, and then he was gone like fash
nth the locomotive.
As quick as possible the crew secured guns,
and boarding switch engine, started IN pur
suit Of the locomotive and the thief. II was
a wild and dangerous ride. II was nine
miles to the first station north, and a through
freight going south was following close be-
hind the express.
A mile from Cottondale. the first station,
the pursuers came In sight Of the stolen loco
motive They opened FIRE at the man in the
cab, and he slowed up little, leaped from
the engine and escaped into the woods. The
men on the switch engine had no time to
follow They heard the roar Of the fast ap-
preaching freight train, and, with less than
ten seconds 10 spare, got the two engines on
a side track in tine to avoid a collision.

BARGAINS IN DRY GOODS
For Christmas and New Year.

We will commence this day and
continue to sell out our entire stock
at cost to close busin, IS. We call
special attention to our large stock
of Ladies', Misses, Mems and Boys
Winter Underwear. We want to
turn the stock into cash as soon as
possible. Those looking for bargains,
will do well to call and examine the
stock, for this will be the cheapest
place in town to secure bargains.
This is no penny trick, as we have
positively made up our minds to
quit the business, or we win sell the
entire stock to a person with the
ready cash. Here is a chance seldom
met with, as this is an old estab-
lished stand, doing a good business
since 1856. Good and sufficient
reasons given for selling.
