There are two ways of moving a
chimney. One way, and that usually
followed, is to tear it down carefully and
rebuild it in the desired place. This
utlizes only the brick and means a
great deal Of labor, The other method
Of moving chimney is to handle it
much as a house would be handled and
to move it bodily and without tearing it
down by putting it on skids.
This latter method was followed by a
firm Of contractors Of Bridgehampton

LIVELY AT BIRMINGHAM.
Two Tragic Deaths, a Policeman Shot and
a Race Riot Inside of Half an Hour.

Two Tragic Deaths, n Policeman Shot and
n Race Riot Inside Of Half an Hour.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 1.-TWO
tragic deaths, n policemen shot and q
small race riot in which a dozen per-
IONS were more or less hurt, constitute
the net results Of what occurred inside
of 80 minutes on the South Side during
the afternoon. A burglary was com.
mitted by Will Hunter, a notorious
negro. Policeman William Perdue
was detailed OH the case and he found
Hunter and arrested him. Hunter
drew his pistol and fired, striking Per-
due in the jaw, inficting a dangerous
wound. The officer returned the fire,
wounding Hunter fatally in the back.
1t developed afterwards that N of
Perdue's shots killed Myrtle Boland, a
~5-year.old girl, who was playing in an
alley two blocks away.
When the police finally took Hunter
in charge a mob of negroes followed,
threatening to rescue the wounded
prisoner. A number of white men soon
appeared on the scene and a general
free fight ensued in which fully a dozen
persons were more or less hurt.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March IL. The day
dawned dark and gloomy for the home
less inhabitants of the food stricken
districts in the territory near this
point. Rain began falling shortly after
Z o'clock, and at this hour is coming
down in torrents, adding to the misery
and suffering already caused by the
overflowing of streams. The work OF
rescuing people and stock continues
and is being conducted systematically.
A citizens relief committee has been
organized, boats chartered and funds
raised. BY these means hundreds OF head
of stock and many men, women
and children have been rescued from
house and tree tops in the overfiowed
district, and brought to this city by
harbor tow boats, with barges attached.
The gauge here reads 36.3, a rise OF one
foot in "a hours. and all indications
point towards a further rise. News
comes of the partial breaking OF the
St. Francis levee, so miles above Mem.
phis, at a point near the south end OF
the levee. Just what damage will re-
suit cannot be foretold, but local steam

Loss of Life Expected.
The break of the st. Francis levee
was more serious than at first reported.
The water has a fall of 25 feet, and
rushed upon the people Of the lowlands
behind the levee in almost a solid wall.
1t is expected that many lives will be
lost. The City of Osceola saved many
people who had been washed nj of
their homes by the water which went
through the crevasse.
