KLONDIKE PILGRIM.
Fred Beiner Returns from the Frozen
 Country Disguised.

q wouldn't advise my bitterest enemy to make the trip to Klondike,' said Fred Bei- ner, of Hattiesburg, Miss. yesterday MT. Beiner has just returned from that fro zen country, and while passing through the city yesterday gave some very interesting accounts of his adventures.
 To begin with, MT. Beiner is an elderly man, apparently between 40 and 50 years old. He left Hattiesburg alone, just little over year ago, on December 20, to seek his fortune in the frozen north. He went direct to Dawson, making the terrible trip over the Chilkoot pass with six compan- ions whom he had met up with. It was in the heart of winter at that time and the suffering of the party in the snow and ice can better be imagined than described. Finally, when the party arrived at Dawson, their hopes were dashed toi earth by the information that there was not a foot of ground in all the gold-bearing regions which had not already been staked off and claimed. MT. Beiner spent the sum- mer in that northern city making his liv- ing as best he could, but as there were thousands of men in the same fix he was, the earning of a living was no easy mat ter. He accordingly decided that there was no place like Mississippi. and thitherward he turned his steps.

WRONG MAN AGAIN.
Sheriff O'Brien Took Trip to Calera
 After Will Gholson.

Sheriff O'Brien was called to Calera yes- terdy afternoon on another wild goose chase after Will Gholson, the murderer of Chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Warnock
 Shortly after l o'clock telegram was re- ceived from Thomas Hill, city marshal of Calera, stating that he had Will Gholson in jail at that place and asking for instruc- tions as to what to do with him. Sheriff o Brien did not answer the telegram, be- lieving it fake similar to the one per petrated on him by a man named Jones at the same place about three weeks ago. Not receiving a reply to his message, Marshal Hill called up the sheriff's office over the long distance telephone. He stated posi- make sure Sheriff O'Bren gave him a com- plete description of the murderer, which Hill said fitted the man he had in custody except that he was not quite as black as the description called for He assured MT. O Brien that 1t was not another Jones af- fair and urged him to come to Calera at once.
 To satisfy his own mind Sheriff O'Brien went down on the o'clock train arriving at Calera about one hour later, and soon found that it was the same old story Ac- companied by Marshal Hill, he went to the jail and found that the negro in no wise filled the description of Gholson, being about forty years of age The negro gave his name as Will Golding, which evidently

PETER JACKSON,
Namesake of the Illustrious Pugilist, in
 the Tolls of the Law.

Peter Jackson, namesake of the illus trious colored giant of the fstic arena, is a prisoner at police headquarters, charged with the measly trick of purloining tur- key. Peter is only Is years of age, but his taste and capacity for turkey is far beyond his years, which was whetted to a high point by the approach of the Christmas holidays.
 It is charged that on Saturday Peter ap- propriated turkey to himself, at the ex- pense of a countryman, acting no doubt on the theory of whole hog or none." The matter was reported to the police and yes terday Officer Bodeker nabbed him at the corner of Twentieth street and Thiro avenue.
 Peter denies that he had turkey for his Christmas dinner.

THE HOUR OF COLLECTING TRASH
Has Been Changed So sThat Rubbish Thrown in Cutters by the Street Sweepers is Taken Up Be-
 tween 2 and Daylight

Street Commissioner John McCartin is go- ing right ahead with the work of improving the streets and avenues of Birmingham, work only so recently begun. Just now he has all the convicts at his command tearing up the old dummy tracks in Third avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first s.reets, and filling up the holes with slag.
 All over the city there are depressions in the streets, which give 1t very uneven appearance and make them very disagree able for driving. These holes are being filled up and made as smooth as possible.
 Most of this trouble is caused by the plumbers when they tear up the streets to make connection. They will fill up the excavation improperly, and as result de- pression in the surface remains. Hereafter MT. McCartin says that he will see that the ordinance requiring that when holes in the streets are being filled up, that the dirt shall be securely packed in. MT. McCartin is also requiring those companies or par ties who responsible for the depressions in the Belgian block to have the same raised to proper level.
 yiolators of Trash Ordinance
 The duty of the citizens in keeping their sidewalks cleaned off in a proper manner is just now receiving a great deal of atten- ton in Birmingham. Within the past few days the police department has arrested ten or twelve parties for sweeping trash off of the sidewalks into the gutters In order to keep the streets in anything like decent condition the cooperation of the citizens

The Next Game Will Take Place Thurs

The basketball game last night resulted in victory for team over c by a score of to 4. The game was hotly contested throughout, and the score was more near ly equal than that of any preceding game of the season. In the first half Capt. War ren and his men rushed the ball hard and kept 1t playing around their basket most of the time, getting as a result six points to their credit. In the second half how ever, recovered and by means of some very successful passing between Jones and Miles. succeeded in getting four points to their credit, while during that half ob- tained only two

 Two very interesting specialties were in- troduced in the performance last night. The first was an exhibition of trick bicycle rid ing by Robert Perry, telegraph boy. Perry was bit nervous over his first pub lie appearance, but his exhibition was very credtable. Between the halves of the game Perry and Charley Bishop had one round boxing bout with blackened gloves. They were dressed in white to begin with, but every lick left the spot it touched en- tirely blackened and the two boys quit the arena looking like negro minstrels.

must be given the city in properly cleaning the sidewalks.
 The following is the city ordinance cov- ering this point:
 Be it ordained by the Mayor and AL dermen of Birmingham, That from and after the passage of this ordinance every occupant of the ground floor of any building in the city of Birmingham for business purposes shall be required each morning to sweep or cause to be swept the sidewalks in front, and in case of a corner, also on the side of any build ing to be occupied by him, and to de- posit the sweeping in a box as now provided by section 435 of the city code for removal by the garbage carts; said sweeping to be done by o'clock a. m. of each day.
 Be it further ordained, That any per- son faiing to comply with this ord nance shall be fined not less than One Dollar ($l.0O nor more than One Hundred Dol lars ($100.00) for each day he so fails to comply with the duties hereby imposed.
 Change in the Time
 One reason for enforcing this ordinance so strictly is that a change has been made in the time of sweeping the streets. The street sweeper starts work at midnight, and z the gutters. Formerly the wagons and hand sweepers did not come around to take up this trash until the next morning, and in the meantime the citizens had all swept the trash off their sidewalks into the long line of trash left by the big sweeper the night before, and it was an easy thing for the hand-sweepers to collect street and sidewalk trash at once.
 But now MT. McCartin has the trash which has been swept into the gutter from the streets collected and taken off in wagons between o'clock and day, so that the work can be finished before the day $ traffic begins
 Now, if it is permitted that trash shall be swept off of the sidewalks after the street trash has been collected the former remains in the gutter all day. For this reason the ordinance requiring that it be placed in a box and set on the edge of the sidewalk to await the regular trash wagon is being rigidly enforced.

ANNEXATION SENTIMENT.
Only Strict Censorship Prevents It
Becoming Manifest.

Havana, via Key West, Feb. 12.-The
annexation sentiment is growing
stronger among the Spanish residents,
and il it We're not for the strict CEN
sorship exercised this sentiment would
be manifested through the newspapers.
Several merchants and planters. some
native Spaniards and members of the
Conservative party. upon being inter
viewed declared that the situation in
Cuba was terrible and that if the war
should continue for another year the
island would disappear from among the
producing countries of the world.
The yacht Buccaneer incident is
much commented upon. Gale Oreilly
merchants are greatly agitated and
holly discuss the subject, calling the
Americans hogs and declaring that a
gunboat should be sent to sink the
Buccaneer.
One of them, while speaking in this
vein, was interrupted by another, who
said:
Don't talk that way. The Yankees
will soon be the owners of this island.
and if they find out about your con-
versation they will whip YOU"
Many army officers believe that be-
fore long the island will belong to the
United States, owing TO the weakness
of the. Madrid government, and that its
ownership will be attained without a
shot being fired.
