IN TIE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD PopuIist Chairman Shugar Says
 That's the Stuff. THAT ST. LOUIS MEETING Adopted Resolutions For New Parly Which He Says All True Populists Will
 Endorse--No More Fusion.

The populists of Birmingham are very much interested in the action of the lead CTS of the peoples party at St. Louis last Thursday. The opinion here prevails that these leaders did exactly right, and that in future the peoples party will have nothing whatever to do with the republicans or democrats in the matter of fusion, and that a straight mddle-of-t f-the-road policy will be pursued.
 "The dispatches that come from St. ing the matter yesterday, "are not full enough to enable me to form any definite idea of what was done there. So I don't know whether or not it was a representa- tive meeting. Some of the votes may have been close and from what the dispatches say, some very important delegates were absent which might have materially ef- fected the result of their deliberations.
 "But whether this St. Louis meeting was unanimously in favor of a new party or not, it is certain to my mind, that the peoples party of the United States Is in favor of a new organization on the plans and policies of the original peoples party. We have fused with republicans and demo- crats so often that it has in a large meas ure shaken the principles of the party and weakened the faith of it's supporters.
 ."rhis fusion with the republicans is what defeated Goodwin in the last state campaign, and the fusion with the demo- crats in the last presidential election brought the party to it's present state of dissatisfaction and semi-disorganizatio ton.
 "The state executive committee of the party which met in Birmingham a few weeks ago emphaticaMy declared that in future there would be no more fusion with any party, either democratic or republican, but that a strictly middle-of-the-road policy would be it's future course. meet ing recently held in Tennessee at Nash vile passed similar resolutions.
 'In fact every true populist in the United States endorses this movement and I ann positive that the party will, in future, fol low the policy outlined by the St. Louis committee
 Dr. G. B. Crowe, who represented Ala bama at the St. Louis meeting will return in a few days and his arrival is awaited with a great deal of interest. Dr. Crowe went from St. Louis to Washington where he is now looking after his contest foq Underwood's seat in congress.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Serenade by the Bostonians at the opera house last night was as intoxicat- ing an affair as its title indicates. It tells a pretty story which Victor Herbert has framed in the romantic land of Spain. It deals with the filtration of Alvarado, a young baritone of the Madrid opera, with a young beauty of rank, Dolores. As the singer has won the favor of his enamorata by means of a serenade addressed to her, the duke of Santa Cruz the guardian of Dolores and also the slitor for her hand flies with the heroine to his castle in the mountains, but Alvarado, disguised as a poetgtion manages to accompany the par ty. Besieged by brigands in the castle, the poetition assumes the duty of cook, and the near-sig'hted duke unconsciously be- comes on the best of terms with his rival.
 A bit of comedy is introduced through Romero a monkish bandit and by love- lorn tailor and worn out tenor, who warbling the detested serenade in the presence of the duke are mistaken for the rival and incarcerated. The action of the scene shifts to the grounds of monastery, whither Alvarado has gone to escape the attention of a jealous danseuse, who has learned of the presence of Dolores. Many amusing complications arise, but in the end every thing is wrought out happily
 nhe opera was to some extent Q rather long drawn-out attempt to be funny. But the audience was patient. It was wistful audience. The entrance fee had been so great. It was superb audience that rose to the occasion and gave unmstakable evidence O. It's apr 1eciation, particularly of the rendition of that splendid harmony '"rhe Angelus."
 1.-The Serenade" was superbly sung by the Bostonians last night It was like the beginning of that poem, And the Night Shall be Filled With Music" The first and last scenes were beautiful and striking, and the second act overwhelmed the audi- ence with its wealth of melody and humor. Too much praise cannot be accorded Jessie Bartlett Davis for the sweetness and gay ety with which she invested the part of Dolores. Her charming personality in- fused the opera with rare delight. Her dramatic temperament is incomparable. and her means of expression are beautiful and eloquent. The quality of her voice is in itself an embodiment of her mag netic personality.
 MT. Macdonald, Mr. Cowles and MT. Philip were all in superb voice. Their roles were executed with that power and finish that go hand in hand, and which in comic opera is sometimes rare quality, for 1t is in comic opera that we frequently find many alien and gross methods mixed with art.
 Alice Nelson shared honors with Jessie Bartlett Davis. She is young woman of charm and magnetism, and lent her sweet presence and still sweeter voice to role

HELD UP BY ROAD AGENTS Thirty-Nine Italians at the Mercy
 of Railroad Men. WERE EN ROUTE TO CHICAGO And Four Passenger Agents Did Battle to Carry Them-The Louisville & Nashville Won
 the victoy-Raidroad Matters.

There was lively fight between four railroad passenger agents of this city on Sunday. Sid B. Jones of the Louisville and Nashville, c. M. Blllheimer and J. P. Bill lups of the Alabama Great Southern and Charles Jones, of the Kansas City, Mem- phis and Birmingham, were the con- testants.
 It seems that a party of Italian laborers, thrty-nine in number, came up from Tus- kaloosa Sunday morning on their way to Chicago. They were immediately taken in charge by the above four agents who pro- ceeded to talk to the poor foreigners for thirteen hours on the stretch, each of them pointing out the advantages of his road. The Italians were not travelling for the scenery though, so these enterprising agents began to cut rates. One agent would quote a price for transporting them to Chicago, then another agent would go him 50 cents better and so on. Finally these sons of Italy would stand it no lon- ger, so they closed the deal with the Louisville and Nashville and paid their money.
 MT. Jones is in the freight department of the road, but in the absence of tine regu- lar agent Rip Beasley, he did the job for the road.
 A special car was attached to the regular northbound train early yesterday morning. and the foreigners sent straight through to Chicago, without having to see any more agents on the way.
 These Italians and about forty others have been employed on the grading work near Tuscaloosa, which is being carried on by the Mobile and Ohio railroad on the Montgomery extension.
 Last week these laborers had mounted a train of fatcars to be taken to the place where the grading was going on. By some accident two of the men were thrown from the cars, one of them being killed and the other seriously injured. The Italians claimed that it was caused by the careless ness of the train crew, and that one of their number had been Intentionally killed. A fight between the laborers and the train crew almost ensued, but both sides quieted down and no further trouble resulted. The thirty-nine laborers mentioned above immediately threw up their jobs and started for Chicago. It is said that all the other laborers working there will follow their countrymen in few days.
 Small Freight Wreck.
 About 10 o'clock Sunday night a small wreck occurred on the Southern between Pell City and Seddon.
 Eastbound freight train No. "A broke in two on a down grade, and at the bottom the two sections came together again. caus- ing slight injuries to the conductor and fagman, and some damage to the cars. The wrecking train soon cleared the way, but the passenger train from Atlanta due here at :45 D. m. was delayed until a. m.
 In Special Train.
 A special train over the Kansas City. Memphis and Birmingham Sunday after noon brought the Bostonians from Mem- phs. They will leave the city this morning at 10 o'clock in a special train for Chat tanooga.

After R6SiSning From Board of Alder
 mon He May B0 Thrown Down.
IT WAS THE SAME OLD STORY
No Appointments Came Yesterday-PoIice Com missin Did Not Meet Last Night-the Governors Delay Taken to Mean
 Something Unusual.

If vigorus protest had been filed in the governors office against the appointment of John McCartin as police commissioner and he was not appointed after resigning from the board of aldermen, presumably to place himself in a position to catch the plum, a genuine sensation if not surprise would be sprung on the public. It is said by cer- tain gentlemen we'll qualified to know that protest has been filed though what re- suit it will bring they do not know.
 The protest, it is claimed, was filed last week, signed by several men prominent in politics, who stand in close touch with Gov. Johnston. Mir McCartin so the story goes, has enemies, who would like nothing better than to see his scalp taken, and they have not been letting any grass grow under their feet in working against him.
 His enemies view the non-arrival of his appointment with a chuckle. Some say that the governor has not fully made up his mind and that plans will be upset by the protest. The police commission was sched- uled to meet last night, but for some reason or other the schedule was changed. The day also brought the same old story-no appointment.
 VIII be Some DIsappointments.
 There will be many disappointed persons if McCartin does not fill one of the vacan- cies. Some weeks ago he resigned from the board of aldermen, and it was then considered that he had "cnch." Whether he resigned to accept the new office the former alderman does not say. When asked he only smies but, nevertheless, it is be- lieved that he feels confident of being one of the lucky men.
 His successor as alderman will be elected Wednesday night, and if MT. McCartin does not receive the appointment of police com missioner he will cease to figure in munich pal affairs. This is just as some of his enemies would like it.
 Surprise Seems Imminent
 The freinds of Messrs. Crawford and Fox are still hopeful, and it is said the present chairman of the commission, A. H. Stevens, has some admirers, who say he will be there on the home-stretch.
 As the race now stands, a surprise of some kind seems imminent. A great many seasoned politicians say the governors de- lay is nothing if not omnous

Frank L. Perley the most promising of the younger theatrical managers of this country and manager of the Bostonians was in the city yesterday. MT. Perley does not get away from New York often He joined the Bostonians at Louisville last week, but will leave today for New York flor the past three years MT. Perley has had number of companies on the road including Madame Modjessa.
 In a few weeks MT. Perley will put on in New York the dramatization of Ian Mac larens Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush," which, it is said, will rival in pastoral beauty the "Old Homestead" or "Shore Acres" The leading part is to be taken by that sterling old actor, John H. StodI1ard. a Scotohman himself, to interpret the past of one of his countrymen, in a Scotch play surrounded with all the atmosphere 50 typical of the Scotch Highlanders.
 It is the hope of MT. Perley to have the author come from his home in Liverpool to witness the production. Those who have read the decentralization claim for it one of the most wholesome and beautiful
 plays that have ever ben given to the American stage.

Each day adds new interest to the great Mardi Gras celebration. Yesterday Presi- dent Lesser, of the Carnival society, re- ceived notice from the Confederate Vet erans that they would participate in the parade and would make display.
 It is said that the veterans will make a splendid feature of the celebration and will faithfully represent an important era in the history of the lost cause.
 The trades display receives recruits from the merchants every day, and it will no doubt prove the most magnificent parade of the kind ever held in the city. Many of the leading merchants have contracted for handsome floats that will rival even the official floats of the Carnival society.

that suited her admirably. It Is not neces- sary to 6ilate upon the merits of other fa- vorites in the cast. The acting was in every respect eonspicuously good. The music was tuneful, sparkling and replete with gems.
 The absence of Mr Henry Blay Barnabee from the cast was matter of serious dis appointment to the audience. MT. Barna- bee was suffering from extreme hoarse- ness. His role was filled by ". H. Fftz- gerald, who was naturally seen to great disadvantage.

The weather man is gentleman of change and it isn't a small or an insignid- cant amount of change that he has infused into weather conditions during the past few days
 That era of summer was short-lived, and only served to make everybody feel the present cold snap more keenly. The cold wave came good and strong Sunday, and 1t hasn't gone yet. Yesterday it was cold and bleak and the least whit snow-hke But when you ask the weather stager if he has any of the beautiful in stock he only smiles.
 The old folks are saying that the cold spell came in opportunely if the people want to eat friut in the spring The sap was rapaG0y dising but with the present weather in vogue sudden quietus has been put on its yeast-like proclivities.
