A BROTHERS CRIME.
One Negro, Without Word of Warn ] ing, Deliberately Shoots Down His Brother and Escapes.

The first Christmas casualty harpeued last night in front of the police station, when Charlie Murphy, a negro, shot and killed his brother Bill.
 Both negroes are said to be from Smith s mines. What was the cause of the shoot ing no one seems to know.

 The ball went wide of it's mark and both negroes went off up Nineteenth street to- ward the police station, each taking sep arate side of the street.
 When both got opposite the police sta. tion Charlie came across the street and walked within a few feet of his brother, and without word fired upon him. The ball took effect in the abdomen and Bill Murphy fellsto the ground As he fell his brother ran off in the direction of the Young Mems Christian association build- ing and disappeaYt h the middle of the street be dropped his hat, which is now in the hands of the police.

A PROPER MOVEMENT

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-h special from Gall weston says For the last three days q meeting has been held in the directors room of the Galveston cotton exchange, considering bridge and termin al facilities. Saturday the parties to these conferences issued an appeal to the citizens of Calves ton, In which they state that they favor the formation of a railway bridge and ter minal company in Galveston, and consider it of the utmost importance that 5l per ceut of the capital stock of said company should be owned by the citizens of Calves ton. It is stated from reliable source that S249 900 of the necessary $500, ,000 has been pledged. The scheme anticipates an outlay of s1 ,000, ,000, and should it go through the comp pany will for all time con- trol the terminal facilities at the port. Hence all railways seeking an entrance into Galveston would have to make terms to pay tribute to the Galveston bridge and terminal company.

IT WAS A BUSY TIME.
The Merchants Express Themselves as Being Groatly Pleased With Their
 Holiday Trade.
sr. JoHN,s M. D. oHuRcH.

For come time it has been the prediction of every one that this Christmas would be the duilest one over known, on account of the financial depression. But all were false prophets; their prophecies were vida of the mark, as they all say now. An AGE HERALD reporter called on a number of Birmingham leading merchants last night and they all claim that their sales are far greater than last year.
 MT. Joseph. .of Loveman, Joseph 6 Loeb, said s'I uo lot compare our trade of this Christmas to that Of 1893, and it is even far greater than 1892. We have sold more goods during the present holidays than before since we have bseu in Birming- ham.'
 All the merchants speak in the same strain. The grocerymsn say they are sur prised. They never anticipated such a rush and several were not prepared. It pleasant.
 This speaks well for Birmin ghem, for if tbe merchants are doing well every one else is doing we'll.
 The city for mouths has not looked as live as it did yesterday. All day, from early morn till 12 o'clock at night, the streets were thronged with surging mass, white, black, old and young, and all go- ing in mad rush, looking as if something was after them. It reminded one of old times to see every one in rush and every one spending money.
 Beyond a doubt yesterday was the busiest day that the merchants have known in two years, and all are delighted and predict that 1895 will be the most fruitful one known in years, and there is every indica- tion that their prediction will be realized.

Will Oliver, foreman at the Alice fur mace, and negro became involved in a quarrel about some work which tue negro refused to do at the furnace. They had a few words and Oliver told the negro that If he didn't do the work as ordered he would have to quit. The negro repeated the re- fusal to do the work, and then hit Oliver on the head with shovel, cutting large gash. When the negro struck Oliver he bolted off and made his escape.
 The injured man was taken into the off ce ana his wounds temporarily dressed. Warner & Smiley's ambulance was sent for and he was then carried to the Bir- mingham in6rmary, where Dr. Morris dressed his wound. &
 The wound is very serious one and the chances are that it may prove fatal, ai- though at late hour last night he was resting fairly we'll.
