 Only Two Accidents.-Only two acci- dents marred the pleasure of the picnic al Lakeview by the Catholic Aid soci- ety. A little boy fell in the lake and hist mothers screams brought some men to the rescue, who fished him out none the worse for his ducking. A young lady driving spirited horse caused some ex- citement. The horse started to run in the upper part of the park, and ran down to the bridge before he was stopped. She kept him in the road and had the pres ence of mind to throw the reins to some men, who thus checked the runaway.
 Special Council Meeting Tonight-The city council meets in special session to- night to consider the "big sewer' ques- tion At a meeting held a month ago an ordinance was passed providing for the building of large storm sewer in what is known as the Southside water shed. at a cost of about $110,000. The sewer would cover the territory embraced be- tween the Alabama Great Southern rail- road and Avenue F and Twelfth and Twenty-sixth streets. The Southsde peo- pie, who will have the sewer to pay for, if built, are bitterly opposed to it and will make a strong fight to have the ordi- nance repealed.
 Will Build a Tabernacle.-Rev. r. J. Tyler will return to Birmingham after Christmas and build tabernacle and preach to non-church goers. He has found that there are a great many men who do not like the constraint of a church, and yet like to hear preaching. They will always go to hear good preach- ing if they can have the freedom of a tent or tabernacle. It is these men that Dr. Tyler desires to reach, and he will doubtless do great good among them. He stands very close to the hearts of the people. pr. Tyler has travelled a good deal recently, but says he has found no town equal to Birmingham in push and prospects.
