THINGS DRAMATIC.

Theater-goers will have a treat next week when Gustave Frohman's clever company appear at OBrien's in ''The Fatal Card" This style of drama always has a strong hold on the public, and it is a legend that this style of play has never failed when well written and play ed. Farce-comedy, comic opera, horse play and realistic drama have come and are on the wane, but this kind of play is still popular. Messrs. Chambers and Stephenson have given us a play that is filled with material that interests an au- dience. The dramatic portions are deftly sandwiched with the humorous, and the sensational episodes awake interest The strongest scene is said to be that of the brokers office, where the great bond robbery takes place. This scene is per fectly natural, because it does not ex- ceed the bounds of probability. It pos sesses so much that appeals to all classes that it cannot fail to be popular, an evil dence of which lies in the fact of it's great success at Palmers theater, New York. last season.
 This interesting play will be produced at O'Briens opera house by an excep- tionally strong company next Monday and Tuesday nights.

A FATAL BLOW.
Sam James, Colored, Fills Up on Fighting
 Whisky and Funeral Will Like . ly Result

Last night Sam James, wild negro, full of whisky and meanness, came to grief about 7:30 o'clock on First avenue, near Eighteenth street.
 He walked into Henchels saloon, it is said, and struck at a white man stand ing near the counter. The white man seized billiard cue and swung the heavy end on the negros head. The negro then ran out of the saloon striking at pedes- trians who came in his way. It is said he hit several people and then ran into a fish stand and made an assault on several Greeks. Officer Culpepper ar rived at that time and heard the negro yelling inside. He met the Greeks run ming out, and arreBted Chris Quarliers and Peter Johnson. Sam James, the negro, was found lying down in the rear. He had two or three severe contusions and a fracture of the skull He was taken to the city hospital. where Drs. Gibson, Due and Shoemaker dressed his wounds. The physicians have little hope for his recovery.
 It Is believed that he can live only two or three days. The fracture disclosed a hole in his head as large as 50-cent piece, and the broken parts of the skull were removed and the wound dressed.
 James is a large burly negro, about 6 feet tall. He worked at Ensley City, it is said, and has a wife and brother there.
 The man who struck the negro with the billiard cue disappeared and has not been seen since. The Greeks say they did not hit the negro, though he enter ed the place and began an attack on them when he fell on the floor.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CASE.
Chancellor McSpadden 0verrues the De- murrer in the East and West Rail-
 road Case

It is we'll known that this railroad was purchased by Eugene Kelly in May, 1893, at sale made under a decree of the United States court. Soon afterwards the Messrs. Browning of New York filed a bill in the chancery court at Ashville against MT Kelly and others, seeking to enforce a trust upon the railroad property to the amount of more than $1 100000 The case has progressed until the defendants made motion to dismiss the bill for want of equity and filed nu- merous demurrers to 1t for various causes. At the late term of the court at Ashville the case was argued and sub mitted and Chancellor McSpadden has just filed a decree overruling the motion and all the demurrers. The effect of this decree is that if the Brownings prove the allegations of their bill the railroad will be sold to satisfy their claim against MT. Kellys estate.
 The case is a very important and in- teresting one and will be watched with great interest, as it has seriously inter- fered with the extension of the railroad to this city.

 Beyond the Fire Limits.

At an early hour yesterday morning the works of the East Birmingham Smelling company. located at Eleventh avenue and Thirty-ninth street. north, were destroyed by fire. There is no fire protection for that vicinity and the flames could not be checked until the entire works had been consumed. The origin of the fire is unknown.
 The plant was valued at about $20,000 and $10,000 insurance was carried on it.
 The East Birmingham Smelling works were owned by R. M. Bates, David S. Anderson and Mrs. Fitzgerald and had been in operation for some time. They manufactured brasses for furnaces and railroads and had quite an extensive trade in that line.
 They will rebuild at once, it is under stood, in order to reap the benefit of the large trade they had built up.
