NEARING THE END.
THE cRAPHlc's TYPEWRITER AND
 BICYCLE CONTESTS.
Miss Anna Lawton and Master Dave Ber- lin Hold Their Places in the Lead Ky NarrowaAIargins. The Contests
 Close Next Saturday
 Night

The GRAPHicAs Typewriter and Bicycle contests will close next Sat urday night and the result will be announced next Sunday morning.
 Considering that there is only one more week Of the contest, the vote last week aseXceedinglyli light, which evidences the fact that thecandidates and their friends are maneuyering and holding back d large number of ballots as q reserve force, hoping in that manner to win.
 It is very apparent, when the GRAPHIc's city circulation is eonsid- cred, that there is q large number ei coupons outstanding; infaet, enough to change the entire result, and no one in the list can entertain feelings that approach anything like safety. 1t is evident from the present stand ing ot the candidates that no onehas q walk-over, and it is absolutely i'm possible to perdict the result.
 As we have before stated, the vote for last week up to 6 o'clock last evening was exceedingly light. Miss Anna Lawton still leads for the t. pc writer, and Master Dave Berlin fol the bicycle, but each by d very nar row and uncomfortable margin. IT the typewriter contest Miss Ma, Hudson received the largest individ nai vote last week, which now plaees her second, while in the contest foi the bicycle Miss Bab McGehee re eeiyed by far the largest individua vote, changing her position from fourth to third and placing her within shert reach of the leaders.
 l During this week the vote will bt announced each day in the GRAPHIC The nearness of several candidates il each of the contests makes the rae, one of excitement and interest to th. public and of intense anxiety to thi candidates, therefore the vote eacl day will be watched with great in terest. There is always a large eIe ment that wants to be on the win ming side, and the candidates, 0 course, will each bid for this vote b, struggling for the lead each day hence voting promises to be livel, until the close of the contest iex Saturday night.
 The following is the result of tn voting in each of tne contests up t 6 o'clock last evening.

GIVEN ONE YEAR.
Judge Elliott Passes Sentence on Henry
 Burks Saturday.

Henry Burks, the adopted son of old Aunt Dilsy" was on Saturday sentenced to one year at hard labor in the State Peuitentiary by Judge John Nj. Elliott.
 Burks was at the March term of the Jefferson Circuit Court convicted of grand larcery but his sentence was held up until yesterday, as for the past year and half he has been serving out a sentence on the Jeffer- son county convict farm, and it was due to this fact that he received such light sentence, as he is an old of fender and has been before the courts many times. notwithstanding the fact that he has only recently ar rived at the age of manhood.

The New York Sun says:
 ssIt is interesting to learn that the Lawrence Scientific School of liar yard University considers road-mak- ing of so much importance that it has engaged an instructor for teacn- inc exclusively the art of road con- struction. Good results should fol- low from similar attention to the subject in the leading engineering schools of the country.

A FINE SHOWING. Despite the Strike Alabama's Coal
 Tonnage FOR THE PAST YEAR Has Been Very Large-What the Mine Inspectors Re-
 port Will Show.
THE PAST YEAR

State Inspector of Mines James D. Hill- house has just about completed his annual report for all the mines in the state of Ala bama.
 The total tonnage of coal mined in the state during 1894 is little less than it was in 1893, but when the loss of time .by reason of the mine troubles of last year is taken into consideration it is proportionately much larger than that of the previous year.
 The report, which is not yet official shows that during the past year 4,2i6, 736 tons of coal have been mined in the state, against 5,270, ,042 during 1893. Ths number of free miners employed during 1894, was 92SO against 10, 2SO during 1893. An average of 1500 con victs were worked both years.
 From April F to about August 15 there was scarcely any coal mined throughout the state, but as soon as work was resumed the output of coal was much larger than the months preceding the strike. During the month of December the output was far greater than that of any other month dur ing the history of the state. A few of the smaller places have not been heard from, but these have been estimated at about 2s, ,000 tons and employing 2i5 men.
 As will be seen from the tabalated state ment Jefferson county has turned out over one.half the total state tonnage.
 The following is the statement by coun- fipe.

IN MILITARY CIRCLES.

The Birmingham hitles had their regular monthly prize drill last Thursday night. Sergeant Dean won the individual medal and Sergeant Tarrant's "4' the medal for the best drilled squad.
 The singing members of the Rifles will form themselves into a gee club at an early date, by which they will add greatly to the pleasure of the company meetings.
 sharp-shooting corps will be organized among the members of the Rifles. Suitable grounds will be selected for use in target practice.
 Some of the local military men are inter- esttpg themselves iu the matter Of an inter- state prize drill and steps are being taken to induce the Atlanta Exposition company to designate one day which shall be known as military day, and to offer prizes for the best drilled companies.
 The local military boys have already be- gun talking encampment and within few weeks they will go to drilling once or twice each week to get in readiness for the same. It is generally believed among the soldiers that brigade encampment will be ordered this year, and that the companies will go in camp at or near Mobile. Such was Governor Jones' idea last year and all the companies would, no doubt, have gone to Mobile had it not been for the unfortu- nate state of affairs prevailing in this dis trict at the time.

AN UGLY BLAZE,
Which Would Have Proven Very Costly, But for Effective Work
 of the Fire Department.

At S:30 o'clock yesterday morning fire was discovered in the roof of the two-s story residence, No. 622 North Twenty fourth street, occupied by Mir. Sam Mingea. A telephone alarm and also fire alarm from box 13 brought the fire department out in short order. Owing to the distance the department had to come the fire had gained considerable headway, and it was only by prompt and iudieious work on the part-of the fire laddies that the entire building was not consumed.
 The building is the property of Mrs. 5. E. Evans of Lafayette, and was insured for S1O0O and valued at $500. Mir. Mingea carried T750 insurance on his household goods, some of which are very badly dann- aged. His damage would have been much greater but for the promptness and will ingness of neighbors who came to the res- cue and carried out great deal of the fur niture, among which was a beautiful piano, which required the efforts of several men to handle.

THE TESTIMONY
Being Taken by Aldrich, Bowman 6
 Co.,, at Selma, Not as Good as They Would Have It.
AGE HERALD BUREAU,
 SELMA. Ian. IA.

oELMA, Jan. lS. J
 The animation of witnesses in the con- gressional contest case Is moving on slowly. From three to five witnesses are being ex- amined daily, and forty more are on the list. Many of Aldrich's witnesses are broken down politicians, who left the democratic party because they could not get office through it.
 The testimony has been very disappoint- ing to Bowman and Aldrich in number of cases. For instance, they will prove that n certain precinct only small num- Der of voters came to the polls, and that the poll list is fraudulent. They smile and look happy. MT. Woods takes the witness and proves by him that he, the witness, has at various times in the past stuffed ballot boxes and sworn to returns they ness did not consider it morally wrong as principle was involved. Then be will bring outIthe fact that the crisis is just as grave and the principle involved just as great now as in 1876.
 This morning Mir. Bowman got hold of a very promising young witness. He was too young 10 have stuffed ballot boxes when such things were done, and he was bright and intelligent witness withsll. He swore just as Mir. Bow man would like to hear him swear, and his testimony was recorded with great care. After two hours examination Mir. Bowman leaned back in his chair, placed his hands in his brooches pockets and said with a complacent smile: MT. Woods, you can take the witness,'
 There was mischievous twinkle in MT. Woods eye, and he said slowly: ''Jim, how long since you have been in jail?''
 "Last July,' replied the witness.
 'sYou can stand aside, ' said MT. Woods.
 And Mir. Bowman gasped for breath.

TWENTY-FIVE ROUNDS
And Neither Dixon Nor Griffo Could Land a Knock Out Blow-A Beautiful Exhibition of
 Brute Science.
SEASIDE ATHLETIC CLUE, ,ooNnY ISLAND,

SEASIDE ATHLETIC CLUB ,CoNEY ISLAND, N. Y., Jan. l9.-rhe sporting fraternity from all sections of the country gathered here in large numbers tonight to see the pugilistic con test betv zen the two greatest featherweights of the eNEorld-Albert Griffo, better known as "young Griffo, |" of Australia, and George Dixon of America, who claims the feather weight championship of the world. Both men have remarkable records as pugilists, and bitter feeling of rivalry has existed between them ever since their twenty-round draw in Boston June 27, 1894.
 Their contest tonight resulted in another draw, and is described by those who wit messed it as one Of the most scientific that has ever taken place in this country.
 Dixou's seconds were Tom O Rourke, Jack. Havlin and Maurice Kelly. Dixon weighed l26 and Griffo claimed to weigh 129 bounds, but he looked more as if it was 139 pounds. The seconds of Grffo were Mike Dun and Paddy German of Australia, and Denny Murphy of England.
 The men went promptly to work as soon as they faced each other. Both were full of fight. but extremely scientific, and their work was quick and sharp. Dixon was over anxious and forced the fight Ing at tremendous pace. Grif- fo was cool, and depended almost entirely on his clever dacking and straight left hand punches. It was beautiful ex- hibition of scientific boxing by two of the cleverest opponents of the prize ring in the country. With all their fierce fighting neither man succeeded in drawing blood, and the only indication of a fight was Dix on's puffed and swollen eyes from Griffo' 8 straight left hand punches.
 There was not mark on Griffo to show the effects of his punishment, although Dixon hit fully five times to Griffo's once. Dixon's cheeks were badly swollen and bruised.
 Round twenty-dv and last--Dixon was desperate and he fought like tiger, doing nearly all the leading, but he could not knock the triumphant smile off of Griffo' s face. The Australian only hit few lett handed blows in this round, as he was on the defensive aud spent his time in avoid- ing punishment.
 The crowd was wild with excitement when the round ended, some calling for Grffo and others Dixon. When the referee decided the contest draw there was gen. eraI cheer of approval, as 1t was the only just decision that could be given under the circumstances. The round ended and both pugilists shook hands very heartily and all hands left the building in good hun1or and perfectly satisfied With their night's entertainment.

THE RIGHT ROAD.
Enterprisin g Citizens of Springville Get Out an Attractive Circular in
 the Interest of Immigration.

The immigration fever, which became contagious throughout Alabama and other southern states recently, has been the means of bringing this glorious southland into prominence throughout the north, east, west and principally the great north. west. The many circulars and statistical pamphlets which have been scattered broadcast over the country have been very beneficial and have proven of great worth, inasmuch as many eyes have been turned in this direction and inquiry after inquiry has been made of real estate and other agents throughout this section as to the availability an d adaptabiity of lands and the moral, social and other status of the people.
 Then, too, many people deeming sight preferable to hearsay, have come to Ala bama for better information. Many of these have either located or secured op- tous and gone back to report, and the probability is that Alabama will soon have her hills and valleys peopled with sturdy westerners, who will be welcomed with true southern hospitality to the land of hog, hominy and good cheer.
 While Birmingham has been active h the work, neigh boring towns have caught on and are pushing their advantages to the front with view to securing part of the coveted prize, viz.: good people and plenty Of them.
 Notable among the towns which have caught the immigrant fever IS SprlngVlie, a town of 800 inhabitants, twenty eight miles northeast of this city, on the Ala
 bama Great Southern railroad. Here an
 immigration society has been formed, lock- ing to the development of that town and
 it's immediate surrounding country, with live, energetic people at the helm, who
 have gotten down to business and are push-
 ing their advantageous offers to the front. A neat pamphlet describing the town, it's
 schools, churches, adaptability of soil, | mineral wealth, pure water, social people, | and in fact everything worth Knowing, | has been gotten out and thousands sent l where they will be most likely to do good l service.
 | This plan is worthy of patronage, and if | followed by other towns will possibly be of | great benefit to them in the near future. FROM IOWA TO ALABAMA. Dr. E. L. Brownell and family of Spirit | Lake, la, arrived in the city yesterday | afternoon, and will probably settle here or | some other place in the state. Dr. Brow | nell says there are hundreds of people in | Iowa who want to come south, and will l come if they can find suitable homes. He l states that he has been almost crazy tC come south over since the war, and that he has at last got here. He is being shown 1 over the city by Mir. P. Sid Jones.
