PUBLIC SCHOOL TAX.

The Southern Debating the Matter.

One by one the large corporations are
responding to the mayors call to pay the
Birmingham school tax, and thereby save
the city not only the embarrassment of
closing her public schools. but retarding
her general progress.
The attorneys for the Alabama South
ern and the Great Southern railway are
as yet little nettled over a recent cor
respondence relative to the tax. as the
following correspondence will show but
these gentlemen are too broad-minGed
and the roads they represent have too

allow newspaper controversy to prevent
their responding to the atriotic call from

met at the court house this morning
for joint conference. The silverite
committeeman announced that they
had no proposition to offer.
Populist Chairman T. S. Petit
then offered fusion resolution for a
division OF the Offices and providing
that he device on the ballot should be
a rooster, a blow and a hammer.
Capt. Sam Jones offered a resolution
favoring the silver dollar as device.
The siIverites moved to adopt the
rooster only as ballot device. This
was lost on tie vote--seven Democrats
for, seven Populists against. The
Populists then moved to adopt the
Petit device and also to adopt the
James device. Both motions were lost
by party tie vote. The conference

yet thousands upon thousands OF

to bring over and import free into

the former case the little pittance

GROUND HOG DAY

When the early settlers OF this
country arrived on II shores they
brought many Of their native tradi--
tions along with them and they also
found many among the Indians, Of
which they had heard nothing before,
and one OF these was that on a cer-
tain day In the year the ground hog
,ame out OF his den to look for his
shadow. That day. in the almauacs
then in use, was noted of February
and was called ground hog day and
lis conditions observed. One hund.
red and twenty-five years later the
calendar was changed, and the day
that had been the ad OF February be-
came the I4th. But the people who
paid most attention tn the ground
hog knew little of almanacs aud less
OF scientific calendars.
An early New England writer. in
making an entry in his diary, wrote:
"This is the daye In which the litel
brides doe chuse their mates. and II
Is .old the elders and the mandra>
goous put forth the buttones Of their
rootes. It is also the day In which
the ground hogge or marmount
cometh forth from his den. It Is the
day in which the younger sort send
one another little mysteries OF their
love and name them valentines,
which Is but a sad popish custom
and not tending withoi togodliuess."
That was February z, old style.
Every country girl aud boy can tell
you with perfect faith that the birds

tines day, aud everybody knows that

accomplished on the Great Eastern
railway system during the early
hours one morning The railway
bridge over the river Ouse on the
London and Norwich main line near
Ely was completely removed and a
new wrought-iron bridge Of one
span, Of some 300 tons Of dead
weight and 1870 feet long, erected in
its place, The night was extremely
dark and the work was rendered
somewhat difficult by the prevailing
high wind and heavy gusts Of rain.
About 1870 q. m. operations were
begun by removing the rails and
upper cross-timbers. Half an hour
later the first OF tho iron Rirders,
which numbered 20 in all and
weighed about six tons each, was
lifted out by powerful steam cranes
and shunted on to trucks. The
work was completed by 7:30 q m.
Preparations were now made for
placing the new bridge, which had
been previously erected on staging
alongside the old bridge, into posi-
ton. This was effected by slowly
hauling the entire structure by
means Of powerful winches fixed on
both river banks. The bridge itself
rested on trolleys running on rails
laid along the abutments. The next
business was to relieve the trolleys
Of their 800 tons of dead weight and
to lower the bridge. by powerful
hydraulic jacks on to its permanent
supports. This done, rails were
laid, the permanent way was made
good, and the main line connection

Account Of Recent Trial Of Military
Maneuvers IN Austria.

Account Of Recent Trial Of Military
Maneuvers IN Austria.
The Austrian fortress maneuvers
OF Przemysl in Galicia were OF an
exceedingly realistic character, fully
charged field ammunition being EN-
ployed. The works Of defense and
attack we're commenced on Septem-
Der IL In the emperor's presence.
The work was pushed on during the
night, in spite OF heavy rain, and
the besiegers successfully y repulsed
a sortie. Notwithstanding these
obstacles, the construction of bat
teries was completed early on the
18th, with the guns In position and
ready for opening fire. The assail-
ants then evacuated their works,
and the defense opened a real fire on
the works erected. AT noon the
signal to cease fire" was given, and
It was found that the fire Of the de-
fense had been very effective. Dur
ing its progress, moreover, the ef-
fects were observed from q balloon.
A further bombardment of the
works Of the assailants In the pres
ence of the emperor was put a stop
TO by pouring rain.
The next day, Sunday, was a day
Of rest, aud on the 14th the EN-
peror witnessed a bombardment by
the besiegers with live shell of a
permanent fertilization, in front Of
which we're advanced batteries and
entertainments. After the. signal
cease FIRE" was given, at noon an
inspection demonstrated the ter
rible effects of modern artillery on
Notifications. At night, as soon as
it Was dark, the assailants proceed
ed TO execute works Of approach.
Several infantry engagements took
place, and various processes Of illu-
mination were experimental with.
Early next morning the works Of
the bcsiegers were shelled by the
defense, who used both their posi-
tlon guns and their field pieces. The
effects were then ascertained. Dur
ing the following night operations
were continued on both sides, and In
the morning, the besiegers having
succeeded In destroying the ad-
vanced works OF the defense and
silencing the FIRE Of the guns en-
filading the foreground Of the work
chosen for an assault, they exploded j
the mines which they had laid and
proceeded 10 storm the fortihcation.
This terminated the maneuvers,
which were highly Instructive, all
