POLICE PICKINGS.
Very Little Business Transacted During the Night-Oficer Newman's Last
 Aires. and Leave Taking

In police circles last night matters were extIenhly quiet. Only one or two incidents occurred to break the monot- onous routine of patrol life.
 About g o'clock report of pistol on Avenue B and Twenty first street at tracted considerable attention. The me- groes in the vicinity claimed to know nothing of the trouble other than that Lucius Bnown, alias Robertson, had shot at another negro named Charlie Bedell, an alleged ex-coEvict. No arrests were made, as Brown escaped in the darkness.
 The last arrest made by Officer P. J. Newman as a member of the police force was that of Fannie Blair, a well-known white woman, for assault and battery on Mary Williams, and two cases of dis orderly conduct aggravated. She was very drunk, and met Mary with tray on her head. With terrible oaths, it is said, she assaulted the young negro wo- man, who had her arrested. It is said that Fannie cursed wellknown white man and followed him around the streets She has several cases pending i'm the criminal court besides the above, which will be tried this morning.
 Several weary wanderers were brought in for treSpassing, and one man was locked up for larceny of iron. None of the cases seemed to be very important
 MT. Newman, al roll call, bade good bye to his fellow workers and turned over his badge, which he has worn with honor to himself and the city, and other papers. He stated that he would at once engage in general brokerage business.

Only Two Negroes Have Returned to work at the Coke Ovens-More Ex-

Adger, March S0-tSpecial Corresponds nce.)-The strike at the coke ovens has not at this date been settled. Only two men have returned to work, but the writer thinks more will begin, as the two who returned made $1.05, and that shows others that there is a living a, the price offered, and that is all the Blue Creek negro wishes.
 Mrs. Dr. J. M. Armstrong, of Edwards ville, H., is visiting MT. James Hillhouse and friends of Blue Creek Mrs. Arm strong has, we regret to say, just lost her husband, Dr. Arms trong, who was practicing physician of this place in 1894 She has our heartfelt sympathy in her sad bereavement.
 MT. and Mrs w. B. Hillhouse are in Birmingham, on a short visit to friends.
 We notice two gentlemen representing the White Shield" on the streets of Adger today, but do not think they en- rolled many members of this place, as they wanted S1 admission fee, and very few had the required amount, as pay day was very slim" this month.
 Johns mine, slope No. 4 has been idle this week, but will resume work as soon as the coke ovens are in full blast.
