SEEKING A LOST BROTHER J. w. FornshelI Looking for His
 Brother Daniel. WITH A VERY SLENDER CLUE He Came to Birmngham-A Newspaper Story That Daniel FornSheIl Discovered Gold
 Mine in Alabama His Only Thread.

It has been forty years with the going down of yesterdays sun since J. w. Form shell, of Dayton, O., has seen his brother, Daniel Fornshel.
 It was not a merry Christmas that MT. Fornshell spent in Birmingham yesterday. He was uneasy and hoping against hope. for his mission here is to seek his long-lost brother.
 MT. Fornshell is a travelling man and goes over large portion of the southern states. During the latter part of August or the first of September, a travelling friend told him that he had read in newspaper where a Daniel Fornshell had discovered a gold mine in Alabama
 The paper could not be located and the gentleman remembered no more of the particulars, yet J. W. Fornshell has taken up this slender thread and will try to trace if to the whereabouts of his brother.
 Monday he will visit every man in Br- mingham who is interested and keeps up with gold mining statistics. He visited The Age-Herald office to find out if the story which his friend referred to had been printed in this paper. search of the files failed to reveal it.
 "It was forty years ago that my brother left home," said Mir. Fornshell. We have never heard anything from him since that time The least intimation of his where abouts is the one we have now.
 "He was more than twenty years old when he left and he is getting old now. would give almost anything If l could find him. If there is any one who knows of his whereabouts I would be so much grahfed if they would communicate with me-"
 MT. Fornshell's friend did not even re- member the paper in which he saw the gold mine story, but the gentleman is still hopeful that this faint clue will lead to his brother's discovery.

 Every dog must have his share
 and he got it, even the mongrel little cur that went wailing up Second avenue with a bunch of fire-crackers tied to his tail.
 The ardor of the small boy was in no wise dampened by the drizzling rain that fell throughout the day.
 After the Christmas eve rush the city became comparatively quiet about 12 o'clock Friday night. Although the occa- Sional explosion of a cannon cracker would announce that all fun seekers" had not gone to rest.
 With the dawning of day people began to move around. The little folks were up first in anticipation of the result of Santa Claus visit and many of them were made supremely happy. Turkey, fruits, confec- tions and fireworks was the menu for the day, with the proverbial egg-nog added to the regular wine list.
 The streets were soon crowded and every body had horn. The hideous noise pro- duced by these trumpeters mingled with the incessant explosion of giant crackers and torpedos suggested an air of pande- monium which was well nigh verified.
 Toward evening the streets were filled with drunken men, who had imbIbed too freely. The saloons were crowded and number of bar room fights resulted.
 The police were kept busy and a number of arrests were made. but mostly for dis orderly conduct uncle Bob McCullOm, the driver of the police patrol, was constantly on the go answering calls.
 "Rum," Roman Candles" and "Re- bellion" was the order when night came on, and more arrests were made.
 In the residence portion of the city almost every family were discharging fireworks and the sky was filled with brght-colored rockets and beautiful balloons.
 About 10 o'clock the din grew weaker and by 12 o'clock there was rothing to indicate that it was not usual Saturday night.
 A number of accidents occurred during the day but nothing of very serious na- ture. Perhaps the most serious was that of negro woman in the southern portion of the city who had her right hand blown off by a cannon cracker Her hand and wrist were ampiItated. ea.
 The little daughter of Dr. A. N. Ballard, in Sixth avenue, met with an accident which might lave proved fatal. A roman candle ignited her clothing but fortunately the flames were extinguished before she suffered severe injury.
