IN THE COURTS.

One of the most interesting decisions
handed down during the year in the
courts of this city was that rendered by
Judge Banks in the circuit court yester-
day morning. The decision was in refer
ence to an action of the board of equali-
IA ton In reference to the value OF proper
ty. The suit was to enforce a valuation
placed on the property of the Birmingham
Building and Loan association.
The returns to the tax assessor placed
the property valuation at about S42, 900.
The board of equalization, i'm examining
assessments, on coming to the property
referred to, raised the valuation to $69, 900
The increase was resisted by the assocta-
ton, hence the suit. Judge Banks held
that the board of equalization had con-
formed to the law in giving due legal no
tice, etc, and rendered the decision ac-
cordingly.
A mistrlal resulted In the case of Bal

The banner performance of the week at
O'Briens were those of yesterday after
noon and evening, when the Baldwin
Melville company played to the capacity
of the house. "A Black Flag" was the
afternoon bill and Louisiana" was the
night attraction. It is needless to say
both gave entire satisfaction. Both were
literally applauded, and deservedly SO.
Mr.. Walter Baldwin deserves to be con-
graduated for the excellent company he
has about him, as each and everyone are
actors and actresses. Many who refrain
ed from going to the initial performances
Of Mr. Baldwin's company because of a
fear that the prices showed the quality
of the people, soon found out their error,
as the box receipts will show. 1t was
with regret that many who have been on
the regular list during the week heard
the announcement that but two more
performances will be given by the COM
pany.
Monday afternoon Monte Cristo" will
be the attraction, and at night Ten
Nights In a Barroom." The prices dur
ing the past will be observed.
1t is safe to predict crowded houses at
both performances.

cluded arrangements with Messrs Eph-
rain, Lewis and Peter Sells. The CONSOLE
dation will make the new show one of the
largest in the world. The Forepaugh
show was founded nearly century ago
and was purchased by James A. Bailey
on the death of its proprietor in $780,"
Notices similar to the above appeared
in all the leading dailies of the country
and were telegraphed by the Associated
Press and the United Press, the event
they chronicled being justly regarded as
the most important and far-reaching one
that has ever transpired in show bust
ness; and such 1T undoubtedly is. Since
then all the details of the colossal aggre-
cation has been perfected, and it will
make it's first appearance in Birming
ham on November g. when something
most extraordinary in the amusement
way will stupendously materialiZe. By
the terms of the agreement no other big
show will appear in this section this sea-
son, nor will 1t be required, as this titanic
arenic double-ender will supply all that is
really worth seeing, and more than
enough to wonder at, laugh over and
comment on for the current year. The
huge consolidated menagerieS, circuseS
and hippodromes will include the most
complete geological collections and the
greatest number of the best arenic per-
formers in the world. There will be seen
the only two biggest herds of best train
ed elephants, the only educated sea lions
and seals, and genuine wonders they are;
the only pair of giant appropriateness;
the only monster two-horned Sumatra
white rhinoceros; the only flock of os-
triches; the only African Gland. Niger
antelope, gnu and mature polar bear; the
only lady, clowns and ringmasters; the
only lady herialists, performing at dizzy
heights in long skirts; the only Nile and
Arctic sea equariums, and the most noted
principal male and female bareback rid
ers, charioteers, Jockeys, clowns, gro
tesques. acrobats, bicyclists. equilibrists,
athletes, high-air experts, jugglers, Japa-
nese, and animal actors, in a hundred
splendid races and marvellous perform
ances. The united morning parades of
these two greatest shows will be a stu
pendous and superb spectacle, well worth
coming long way to see. OF course. you
all want to see the greatest, and here's
your chance.

NEARLY $4,000 VISITORS AT CANTON

NEARLY 1900 VISITORS AT CANTON.
Canton, O., Oct. 24.-Delegations came
today with a good deal of regularity from
sunrise to sunset. Major Mckinley was
employed in speaking to throngs or in
greeting smaller groups of visitors from
o'clock in the morning till late this
evening.
1t was after O'Clock when the last
great delegation, 1000 railway men from
ST. Louis and East st. Louis, marched
shouting down the hill from the McKin-
ley house. Enthusiasm reached it's
highest and most intense pitch today and
Major McKinley's speeches seemed to
arouse and stir the throngs which came
to hear more deeply than ever.
There were nearly $4,000 visitors. Up
wards of twenty-five delegations called
formally upon Major Mckinley and he
made twelve speeches. Every one came
in great numbers and their enthusiasm
was unbounded. The wooden fences
about the house were torn down and car
ried away by relic hunters, and all the
smaller trees and shrubs in the yard were
cut down close to the ground and con-
verted into souvenirs of the presidential
campaign of 1896 in Canton. Men almost
came to blows in the eagerness of their
desire to get near enough to Major Nc
Kinley to touch his garments.
jor Mckinley was in excellent health
today, and spoke with his usual vigor.
His speeches, with few exceptions, were
short and of the impromptu order. He
has had day of uncommon activity, and
seems to have enjoyed 1t. He said tonight
that he thought his heaviest work in this
campaign had been done. There will be
delegations every day next week, and
some important ones are expected, but
not more than half dozen are scheduled
for single day. The executive commit
tee of the Railroad Mems League of Bos-
ton is expected here on Monday to call on
Major Mckinley

HANNA SETTLED IT.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 24.--In spite of
all indications to the contrary, the regu-
lar republicans and sugar planters, or
lily whites, arrived at an amicable under
standing today and adjusted all their diff
ferences in a way satisfactory to both.
This was mainly brought about by a
telegram from Chairman Hanna of the
national committee to Messrs. Herwig
and Donnelly, chairmen respectively of
the regulars and sugar planters. that
Capt. A. T. Wimberly, national commit
teeman for Louisiana, represented the
national committee in all matters in dis
pute. The principal bone of contention
has been the colored man. Captain VIM
berly from the first insisted that the col
ored man must be recognized, and In this
he has been backed up by Mr.. Hanna,
chairman of the national COMMITTEES, but
the sugar planters have persistently re-
fused to in any way recognize the negro
until today. The regulars had placed in
the field an electoral ticket containing the
names of two colored men, and this has
been the rock upon which the two fac
lions have split.
BY today's agreement, however, the
sugar planters finally agree to support
the regular republican electoral ticket,
and in return the regulars take down
their candidates In the First, Second and
Third Congressional districts, and agree
to support the sugar planters nominees.
They have issued joint address to the
electors of the state. which advises the
voters of the agreement made and in
structing them how to vote in order to
carry 1t out.
The effect of this compromise makes
the result in Louisiana extremely doubt
full.
