CAPT. AMERlNE HAS GONE
QUARANTINE OFFICERS WILL HUNT
 OTHER JOBS.
The Quarantine Line is Now Greenvilie-L. 6 N. Trains Nos. 1 and Will Now
 Probably Go to Montgomery.

The last vestige of the s.ate quarantine as an organization disappeared last night when Capt Amerine disbanded his force of officers.
 Capt. Amerine has proven himself a competent officer, and his adm;nistra ton was marked with a business-like thor oughness.
 When Gov. Johnston promulgated his order establishing Greenville as the di- viding line, Capt. Amerine decided that the maintenance of a corps of state quar- anaine officers would entail unnecessary expense. On this account the young men were dismissed last night and the chief offfcer returned to his home in Montgomery.
 'T did not deem 1t advisable" said Capt. Amerine, ''to continue the state corps for that part of the state south of Greenville The backbone of the epi- demic has long since been broken, and it is only a matter of a short time be- fore it shall have disappeared entirely.
 'sThe towns and cities in the prescribed district will probably maintain local quarantine. I understand that many of them have excellent corps of officers al- ready organized"
 Gov. Johnston's order becomes effective this mornin.
 All Except the l.. & N.
 All of the railroads except the Louis- ville and Nashville have resumed the running of their trains suspended on ac- count of the quarantines.
 The Louisville and Nashville company may extend the terminals of Nos. and 4, which now stop in this city, to Mont gomery. Ut had not been fully decided yesterday on account of some connec- tions south of the capital city, which cannot yet be completed. It is possible that the trains may be run to MontgOrn- cry.
 For several days the quarantine has been scarcely apparent in Birmingham. The hotels are crowded and everything has resumed the normal condition.
 A large number of refugees have been dn the dty in the past few days, and trains going south are crowded with them. Tyhe influx was slightly retarded yester- day by the warm weather.

wHfSKEY RECEIPTS GROWING.
Alabama Paid Sf0,OOO Into the Revenl e
 Office Last Month

Collector of Inter nal Revenue Julian H. Bingham reports a marked increase in the sales of AIaba ma made whisky for the month of October.
 During the pasl. month over $1O,000 was paid out for A.alba ma made whisky. This was cnore than double the sales for the same month in 1896. It is estimated that the sales for November will exceed $15.000, double those for November. 1896.
 MT. Bingham accounts for this re- marlsable increase by the fad. that more whisky is being made in Alabama than formerly. Heretofore a great deal of whisky was shipped into Alabama which was stamped at the office from which it was sent

A DAY WITH
 SMALL OFFENDERS

An echo of the late municipal electicn was heard in the police court yesterday morning. John Horan and H. E. War ner were charged with an affray. The evidence tended to show that Warner had applied a. foul epithet to Horan to some of the latter's friends. Horan heard of 1t and called Warner to account for it, and struck him several times. The trou- ble has been traced to an occurrences during the mayoralty election of last December Both men were fined $5. Ho- ran's fine was remitted.
 Mattie Johnston and Belle Greene be came involved in a quarrel. Each called the other endearirg CD names that would not look we'll in print. Both were ar- rested and fined S each.
 Henry McFadden-not the one of waltz 1ame-and his wife failed to agree. She claimed he struck her and had him ar rested. The burden of the testimony proved that Henry did not strike her. and he was dismissed. His wife was shocked when Judge Feagin levied the costs, $4S5, on her.
 Walt Blackburn grew tired of working out fine on the city chaingang and took French leave. He was recaptured and charged with escaping. The usual fine of $15 and thirty days extra was as- sessed.
 Brick Skinner was charged with as- sault and battery on Tom Ensley with a knife. He claimed they were playing and that he accidentally cut Ensley. His story was not credited and he was fined $12.50.
 Bertha Kennon, a mulattress of ques- tionable reputation, was charged with being disorderly and walking the streets after g D. m. In both eases she was fined s20 and thirty days extra. Just before court adjourned a prominent att torney hurried into court and gave mo- tioe that an appeal would be taken. r Influential friends at once endeavored to have her fine reduced. Their efforts were partly successful. as the extra days were remitted provided the fine was paid. Unless this is done today Bertha will be sent to the mines at Coalburg, where she will have to serve the entire
 fine of s25 and thirty days Cera Underwood imbibed too freely and became intoxicated. She was disolr- dsrly Her manner of earning a living was not proven quite clear and she was clDarg:h with vagTamcy. A fine eff $20 and thl.nty days was assessed against her. She was sent to Coalburg in the efternoon.
 CaIl1y Burns had to answer to similar changes. She was fined $5 for diso.derly corlduct but angrily reSented the accusation that she was a va@rant. In order to allow her am opportunity to procure witnesses to prove that she worked, this case was held up until Sat urday

Frank Arri- co Of the Birmingham Musicians Union made a mot4on to table ths resolution which was defeated. On call for tha original question the resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote.
 The resolution appears elsewhere in this issue.
 An Enthusiastic Meeting
 The meeting was one of the largest held by the council in several months.
 Under the report of officers. President Acton made stirring talk He suggest ed that statistics showing the number of locals, their membership and all details eoncerning the Iaboring people of this district should be compiled in order to have the information at hand. A com mittee of five was appointed to do this work.
 The organization committee, through it's chairman, M. s. Umbenhauer, re- ported that five delegates from the Broommakers were present and ready to take the obligation, as were also three delegates from the Bricklayers.

 Bfrmlnel am will have dollar gas
 The lalbor.ng man is with The Age Herald in its fight.
 The business man is with The Age Herald in its fight.
 The professional men are for dollar gas.
 Even some of the stockholders of the gas cornupany endorse the policy Of The Age Herald.
 The members of the city council are for dciflar gas. Everybody is for dollar gas. Everybody is with The Age-Herafd and The Age-Herald is with the people. The line of battle has been drawn. It Is a contest for something the people are justly entitled to and they will win. They will win despite the assertion of @ prominent official of the gas company that the clamor was all stuff and non sense'' and that the people needed many things they did net get.
 Answerable to the People
 s'Gas companies and corporations of like nature are different from others" said a prominent attorney who occupies an Important judicial position.
 "The gas company is responsible to the people fer it's dolngs It has no more right to conceal its transactions than the city.
 "In other corporations the people are not so deeply interested, but a gas odm- pany depends upon the masses of the people for it's maintenance and the peo- pie should be given some consideration The gas company directors, according to reliable authority once held a star chamber meeting and squashed the amount of its enormous profit.
 When the directors held another meet ing will they give the people an oppor- tunity to knew what they have done?
 About Atlanta Gas
 ''The president of the Birmingham Gas company has been making an argument why Atlanta can have dollar gas the reason that Atlanta has S0,O0O population while Birmingham has but 4O,0OO," said a well known citizen yesterday
 "The Atlanta Gas company, like the Birmingham Gas company, has, been manipulated and thoroughly watered, and besides several millions of stock, it has one million of outstanding bonds. Yet the Atlanta Gas company, selling gas at $1 per thousand cubic feet makes handsome profit.
 "The people of Birmingham are tired of being robbed by the gas company. They are too far advanced to go back to burning kerosene oil but they are determined to have the present com pany reduce it's price or give way to a new company. There are men who stand ready to organize a new company and furnish gas at a dollar 8 thousand or less"
 Reduction Coming the present gas company is willing to reduce it's price to $140, and is contem- plating so doing. This may or may not be true. If it is true however, it is known that the people will not accept any such compromise. They know they are entitled to dollar gas. and they are going to have dollar gas.
 It may be a difficult matter to repeal the charter of the gas company It might involve complications which would be taken into the courts and might pos sibly cause a delay, but 1t is clear that fhe gas company has violated it's con- tract with the city and that It's char ter should be repealed. Almost every member of the board of aldermen has declared in favor of dollar gas. They are honest and capable men and will protect the people. They are men above the moneyed influences which the gas
