IN A DECENT GRAVE
Will the Remains of Hattie Henry Be Deposited--A Bit of Romance Con-
 nected With the Dead Woman.

The body of Matte Henry, the woman who was shot by her husband, Chris Coleas, the Greek fruit dealer, last Wednesday night, will be buried in Woodlawn cemetery this morning at Il o'clock
 The woman's former companions in sin, in order to save her from a paupers grave, have succeeded in raising about $40 and will give her remains resrecta- ble interment. A neat coffin and shroWd were procured and the Warner-Smiley company will conduct the funeral from their establishment on Twentieth street.
 A little story came to light yesterday afternoon which tends to show that though this class of women are supposed to be beyond redemption, they still pos- sess little of the finer feelings of hu- manity. A gentleman gave his check for $20 to be applied towards the expenses and one of the womans former female companions has raised considerable money for the same purpose.
 This woman thanks Matte Henry for her present condition. She was green country girl led astray and into mock marriage by one of those slick-tongue1, designing betrayers. She soon discov- cred that her marriage was not legal and all her former love for her alleged husband turned to bate She came to Birmingham and started dress making
 
 business she did some work for Matte Henry, who reigned at the time in the demi-world
 In delivering the dresses and other ar ticles to the house of the dead woman the young girl confided her troubles to the seeming sympathetic listener. The girl was taken in as an inmate of the resort and the custody of her little girl given Hattie Henry. Once entered upon this life of these unfortunates. they drift on and they are summed by society.
 The little girl, Ollie, who Is now years cid, was cruelty treated by the dead wo- man and was finally adopted by the gen tleman who paid s20 of the funeral ex penses She is with her grandmother in the country and will never know of her mothers shame and disgrace.
 The mother of the child, though, per haps unjustly. she planes Hattie Henry for enticng her into life of shame, has, virtually, made the arrangements for the funeral.
 At Il o'clock the body will be taken from the morgue of the Warner-Smiley company and, followed by many of the women well known in the half-world, laid to rest at the Woodlawn cemetery.
 Chris Coleas, the Greek, who did the shooting, Is reported in the same condi-. tion as Thursday night. He is perfect- ly conscious, and resting comparatively easy with a chance for recovery in his favor. His couEtry1nen are assisting him in every way possible.

HOTEL GOSSIP

Maj. Allen P. Howison, of Randolph, Bibb county, has been in the city several days on business. stopping at the Flor ence hotel. Maj. Howison is one of Ala bama's wealthiest and most prominent citizens, and is probably the largest in dividual landowner in the state, possess ing something like 100000 acres of timber and farm lands. He has in cultivation something in the neighborhood of 2,0OO acres. and operates three large saw mills, two in Alabama and one at Howison, Miss, the latter, when completed and fully equipped, being one of the largest plants of its kind in the south. Maj. Howison was born and reared in Nir- ginia, and has all the characteristics of +Nirginians. When the war between the states broke out he was only 14 years of age. but shouldered a carbine and mounted horse and joined company of scouts and served faithfully until he was captured in citizens clothes and held as a citizen, with charges preferred against him as spy. He was in close confinement for nine months at the old capitol of Carroll prison, but the charges were not sustained and he was sent as prisoner of war to Point Lookout on Chesapeake bay and Potomac river, Md, with not for exchange" written across his name and he tells an interesting sto- ry how he escaped which. is as follows:
 "I remained there fourteen months and eighteen days. and while there l was made a sergeant and placed in command of company of confederate prisoners of whom one died suddenly. and I chang ed my name for that of the dead prisoner, w. w. Wilson, of the Seventh North Carolina regiment and thus secured my exchanges and after the close of the war remained In Virginia for few years, when l unexpectedly got into a difficult ty with an ex-federaf officer and left there under an assumed name, and To- cated out west, where I engaged in the cattle business on the Rio Grande until 1876, when | came to Alabama"
 He tells many interesting incidents connected with his frontier life, and says 1t is an experience he will never forget

THE DEAL CLOSED
And the Gamewell Police and Fire Alarm System is Now in the
 Hand of the Commission.

At the special meeting of the board of mayor and aldermen yesterday. the fol- lowing were present: Mayor Evans, and Aldermen Ward, Wheeler. Kerr, Neigh an. Williams, Hamilton. Pearce, Gray. McCartin and Hentschel.
 The meeting was called to accept the new Gamewell police and fire alarm sys- tenn, which was inspected by the mayor. aldermen and police commission on Thursday afternoon. The system was reported entirely satisfactory in every detail.
 A great deal of discussion was indulged in over the payment of $4S0, due on seven and a half miles of excess wire used. The contract stipulated that ex- cess wire would be paid for. It was final ly decided, as MT. Jenne wanted this amount in cash or as a one-year note, to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the mayor
 Later in the day Mayor Evans settled the matter by executing a note for the amount, payable twelve months after date. The matter of paying the $5,000 costs of purchasing the apparatus and erecting it here, was done by executing notes payable in one, two, three and four years from date. Each note was for S1, ,250
 The vote on the acceptance of the sys- tenn was unanimous, after chairman Ste vens had announced that 1t was accepta- ble and satisfactory to the commission CTS Chairman Stevens was notified inn mediately of the acceptance by the city, and it was turned over to the commission to be placed in use whenever desirable to them.
 Mir. Jenne thanked the board for it's courteous treatment to him and his as- sistants and for the promptness in. ac- cepting the system when demonstrated that It was complete in it's entirety. He leaves, with MT. Hubbard, today, for Selma, to place an improved system of fire alarm boxes in that city

RRooKR.s MARINE BAND.

The Chicago Marine Band. and it's bril- liant young conductor, T. P. Brooke, are pro bably causing more comment in mu- sical circles today than any other similar organization has ever done. This band has not only within it's brief career of a little over three years played many of the most important engagements in America, but it's future is stamped with the greatest brightness So strong was the praise accorded Brooke and his corps of artists on their last eastern tour that they have been invited to play at the in- augural exercises in Washington on March f. Brooke and his band will give concert at O'Brien's opera house next Wednesday evening, and every admirer of good popular music should hear them. Miss Sibyl Sammis, who is said to have a voice of remarkable range and purity, ac- companies the band, and will sing at the concert in this city the Pages Avia." from Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots." Miss Sammis. it is said, in addition to her magnificent voice, is endowed with great personal. beauty.

AT O'BRlEN'S.

Frohman last week sent us the Gay Cissy Fitzgerald, her wink and kick and sThe Founding" Prim propriety held up it's hands in Holy horror at what was presented. Strange to relate ''The Gay Parisians" came without a word of reproaeh, yet their conduct was far more objectionable from a standpoint of pro- priety than was that of either Cissy or The Foundling." The plot worked out hs the ParisianS not only included a most estimable wife, but a gentle, erring girl and innocent lambling in a scandal in a house set apart for midnight orgies and liasons such as only the Gay Parisians" know how to participate in.
 But be this as it may, the cast was all excellent one and the play was produced most admirably
 Mrs. E. J. Phillips, Sadie Martinot, Margaret Gordon, W. J. Ferguson, Chas. B. Wells, W. E. Shirley, Jas. o. Barrow, and others comprised the cast and each and every one acted we'll their parts.
 The play went with a rush and every one present seemed to enjoy 1t hugely.

A CLEVER THIEF.
said He Would Rob His Sleeping Uncle
and He Did.

While a well-to-do Partisan was
returning recently by train from
Havre, during the first hour his only
fellow passenger in the compart.
ment was young man, who made
himself very agreeable. Then others
got in, and talk was general. Finally
the Partisan dropped asleep. Pres
emily the young man, turning to the
other passengers, with wink to-
ward the sleeping man, said, in an
undertone, "I'll play a good joke on
my UNCLE" and he unfastened the
strap by which small traveling.bag
was slung over the shoulder of the
sleeper. "I'll change into the next
compartment at the first stop, and
my uncle will wake up and think
he has been robbed. 1t will be fun
to see his face, and / can watch
through the little glass in the parti-
ton. Don't give it away"
The others grinned appreciatively,
and the young man presently slipped
out with the bag. Soon after the
owner of the bag woke up. He
missed his pouch from the strap,
and jumped up in great excitement,
exclaiming, 'I've been robbed ~
The response from his fellow pas
sengers was q roar of laughter.
This added anger to the victims
excitement, and he stormed furi.
ously. Finally one of the passen-
gers assured the angry man that
his bag was all right; his nephew
had it in the next compartment.
my nephew" shouted the be-
wildered man; II haven't any
nephew. / never had a nephew.
l don't know anything about any
nephew"
Then it was the turn of the other
passengers to be dumbfounded. But
the thief got away, and there were
several thousand francs in the bag.
