BIRMINGHAM CITY PRISON

The following communication was handed to Mayor Evans yesterday: To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen:
 I hereby submit to your consideration a report of a special committee from the committee of health. Respectfully.
 s. L. LEDBETTER,
 Secretary.
 Birmingham, Ala, April l, 1897. To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen, Birmingham:
 Acting under instructions from the board of health, l have recently made, in company with Dr. Barclay, city health officer, and Gen. George L. Thomas, san itary inspector, q thorough inspection of the city jail. and we respectfully report to your honorable board that we find the prison entirely too small to accom- modate the large number of prisoners usually confined therein. Not more than 75 or 80 should be confined in the prison at one time,. as the dimensions are not sufficient for larger number. We learned through the warden that as many as 150 are frequently confined in the jail. Such state of things should not exist. as it is contrary to all hygienic laws. To keep the prison healthy and free from vermin, it should be provided with good bathing facilities, both hot and cold water and the prisoners should be required to bathe at regular intervals. Your city prison has nothing at present but jet of cold water from a pipe in the ceiling. We would also call your attention to the fact that there is neither closet nor urina1 in police headquarters, where they are badly needed. We re- spectfully recommend that these sani- tary defects be remedied at the earliest possible time. Respectfully.

Messrs. Howe X Berry, the managers. have engaged remarkable company to present the piece. among the principals being Sadie Martinnot. Joe Cawthorn, Nellie Strickland. Johnny Page. Carrie Behr. George Olmi, Neil McNeil and Ethel Strickland. Every portion of the production will be given intact, as it was seen at the Olympia theater in New York. where it ran for 200 nights to a business that was great even for this famous play house. Most of the scenery was painted by Henry Hoyt. who is unquestionably the greatest artist in his line in America. The costumes, which. were designed and made by Madame Bowling are sensations in their way. The chorus is numerically large. and is composed of narkably pretty young women, with fresh sweet voices The orchestra will be under the direction of MT. John J. Braham, the eminent musical director, who originally produced the piece in New York and in point of excellence of cast, magnifcence of production, and numerical strength of the company, it is the equal of any or ganization in America. Excelsior. Jr," will appear at O'Briens opera house Wednesday next, April '. Tickets will be placed on sale Monday morning

Police to Prevent the FitEsimmOns-
Sullivan Exhibition


New York, June 29.-Pollce Superintend-
ent McKelvey of Brooklyn says: "Fitz-
simmons and Sullivan cannot meet in a
sparring match or exhibition at Ambrose
park or anywhere else in Brooklyn on
July 8. I have not been consulted in the
matter, but the authorities have decided
upon course of action If an attempt IL
made to give such an exhibition. under
stood that Ambrose park holds a theatri-
cal license. Under this license Fitzsim-
mons and Sullivan might give an illustrat-
ed lecture. They could show their knock
out blows, swings, cross-counters and up
per cuts, but they would not be permitted
TO give an exhibition of sparring, either
scientific or otherwise, and they would
have to be mighty careful in presenting
their illustrated lecture. People who go
to the exhibition with the expectation Of
seeing fight will be disappointed. l do
not know whether the managers of the
affair will go on making arrangements, but
If they do there will be a sufficient number
of police on duty to insure the preserva-
ton of law and order"
Sullivan, who has been in training at
William Muldoons, at White Plains, for
the past week or two, in anticipation of a
meeting with Fitzsimmmons, has had a
falling out with the veteran trainer and,
as consequence, he left his training
quarters tonight and came to New York
city. He stated that he would go either
to College Point or Oceanic. N. J.. and
there resume his training He SAYS that
he has not yet selected new trainer.
