GAMBlLl AND HILL.
They Had Lively Round Over License
 Tax

Collector Gambill and A. J. Hall, the transfer man, had a difficulty last night in regard to the collection of a license tax. MT. Hall in speaking of the af- fair last night said:
 q have baen in the transfer business in Birmingham for the past fifteen years and have always paid all licenses re- quired by the city. I have paid part of my city license for this year and told MT. Gambill several days ago that I would settle in few days. At the same time I told llim luhat I had put another wagon into service on account of the heavy transfer business incident to the moving season, for which I would be due license, which would also pay.
 Tonight as I came out of store on Twentieth street, Mir Gambill approach ed me and demanded payment of the license due the city, and I told him that it was impossible for me to pay same at the moment, but he insisted and fol- lowed me to my office at th+ end of the depot, where he again made demand for payment
 q tried to reason with him and told him that as soon as I could collect some of my bills, which, on account of heavy business, I have not been able to give my attention. He would listen to no reason, and said that unless the amount was paid immediately that he would put me under bond for appearance in the inferior criminal court. I told him that it was impossible for me to pay tonight
 About this time he grabbed me by the arm and held me tight. I struggled to release myself and in the struggl we both fell scuffling. John Mullen, the baggage master at the depot came between and separated us, and subse- quently he signed my bond.
 q feel that I have been grossly wrong- ed by Gambill by his approaching me - kkP1a tiff :ealra nce wdpF -h$ in the manner that he did. He snsin- uated oncs before that I was due 1i- cense for last year, which I told him was not so. I am not trying to defraud the city of any license due by me, but think that I should be treated as a gen. tleman and not as a dead beat"

Some of the villages are fifteen miles from Pelxfn, the capital of China.

THE ATLANTA QUARANTINE
MANY HOLD THAT IT IS MOST
 ABSURD.
Prominent Business Men Say it Should be Raised, for There is no Danger of Tn-
 lection From the Gate City.

There is considerable talk in Birrnins- ham in regard to the quarantine regu- aations against Atlanta being useless. It is claimed that there is little dangsr. of Birmingham's being infected by Atlan- tsans coming into Birmingham, and that the rules could easily be applied so that those who have sought refuge in the Gate City might be excluded.
 "The restrictions against intercourse with Atlanta should be removed" said B. Steiner. Personally do not believe in the quarantine business at all. Bir- m:ngham is so happily situated that yellow fever could maintain no foothold within her borders. If 1t were not for the proneness of the people to unreas- enable fright, we would have had no such quarantine regulations"
 G. B. Grove, M. D., said q favor re- moving the quarantine against Atlanta. for in my opinion it is unnecessary"
 Ben M. Jacobs: Tt would be better. for general business if the quarantine against Atlanta were suspended"

CALLED HIM DOWN.
The Old Judge Got Tired Of Hearing the
ud-Soiced Young Orator.

Out in one OF the pretty towns of
EASTERN Washington is a goodlooking
halfway sort of newspaper fellow who
Is so stuck on himself" and is so full
of egotism that he is an offense to the
gods themselves, says the Northwest
Magazine. He is also very loud-voiced.
Wherever he may happen to be-in a
busy Office or drawing-room-hi self
important voice and proprietary manner
fill every inch of space and make life
burdensome to everyone else.
A few days ago a local political club
was organized. At the clubs first regu-
lar meeting goodly number of solid
citizens was present and deep interest
was manifested. One or two very SEN
sible addresses had been made, when
our would-be Adonis arose and began
to speak. He took the position that the
others were all wrong. They didn't
understand these great questions and
he would set them right. And then, in
q loud voice, he began TO demonstrate
his monumental asininity. After awhile
an old gray-headed judge arose directly
in front of the orator, and pointing a
finger at him, said:
John, II you would only go out on
some illimitable desert and let of your
wind there you would confer a lasting
boon on your suffering townsmen and
relieve the atmosphere of stupendous
quantity of noxious gas"

ELECTION IN PHILADELPHIA
Shooting OF an Assembly man an Incident
OF the Excitement.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1.-THE result Of
Yesterdays municipal election in wards
where there were contests was not known
until long after midnight. The strong
est fight in the city between the COM
bine" and 'anti-combine' factions OF the
Republican party was in the Fifth ward,
I'll. latter faction. by go votes, eIecting
Clinton r. Woodruff, secretary OF the
National Municipal league, member or
the legislature, 10 fill vacancy. Mrs.
William B. Riley was elected school d.
rector.
In three other wards women who re-
ceive1 the regular Republican nomina-
ton for school directors were elected.
Nary women, however, who received ell
Their the Prohibition or Municipal league
nomination, were unsuccessful candi-
dates.
In spite OF the bitter factional fight
in the Republican, ranks the election was
one of the quietest held in this city in
recent years. The vote polled was COM
paratively light except in a few wards.
The contest wagei between the two
factions of the Republican party in the
Third ward eliminated in tragedy.
Assemblyman r. Lincoln Roberts,
we'll known politician Of the ward, who
had taken an active interest in the fight,
while standing on the steps Of his home
shortly after midnight watching pa
,ade of the victorious faction, was shot
in the thigh and dangerously wounded.
William Reed, political enemy of Rob
erts. was arrested on suspicion.
The crowd of D3raderS was very noisy
and when they neared Roberts residence
a crowd gathered on his doorstep.
Suddenly there was revolver snot,
followed by several others, and Roberts
fell fairting on the marble steps. There
was consterna ton, but the procession
passed on The injured man is in seri-
Gus condition from loss of blood, but
he proba bly, will recover.
