AN EGG FAMINE
Is ON EVERYWHERE
Eggs Are Selling at Thirty Cents Per Dozen
In Dirmingham-Hard to Get
Them at That Price.

An egg famine has struck Birmingham
with full force.
Owing to the extremely cold weather or
the indisposition of the hens. eggs. are ex-
ceedingly scarce. In fact they can hardly
be procured at any price.
This famine is not only affecting Birmlng-
ham, but the supply is short in all parts
of the United States. The commission mer-
chants are receiving quotations and re-
quests from the northern merchants every
day. The prices quoted in the north range
from 80 to so cents per dozen wholesale, and
right here in Birmingham eggs are now
retailing at 30 cents. One merchant in q
northern city has offered as high as So
cents wholesale. His object is to corner the
market, and make fortune while the mar
ket is short.
Several of the commission merchants in
Morris avenue were seen yesterday after
noon, but none could explain the cause of
the famine unless it came from the zero
weather few weeks ago. One remarked,
'Well, the hens have just quit laying" but
whether not the cold weather caused
the unaccomodating disposition of the hens
is another question.
Some offer the theory that all of the eggs
in stock were destroyed by the freeze.
The commission merchants are hoping
however, that with the coming of spring a
new lease of life will be taken on by their
feathered contemporaries and the market
will regain a steady basis.

Mike Brennan, white. was on trial yester-

Hentschel Is one of Birmingham's alder
men, one of the city fathers, and his place
of business is one licensed by the city. Yet
they say he runs a dive. Does the city

looms? If there are any such places In the
city as the officers make out, Mr.. Hentsch-
els bar to be. why don't they arrest him for
running a dlsreputable place, and not take
up law-abiding citizen who happens to
go in there of evenings to get his drinks?''
But Judge Feagin decided that there was
no law In the city requiring the officers to
arrest the keeper of a so-called disreputable
place, unless complaint first be made by
three citizens. He also decided that Bre-
man ought to be fined to the extent of &c.

REPORT NOT CREDITED.
Invented to Discourage the Kansas City
Expedition.

Mobile, Ala, February 2S.-The dispatch
from Managua announcing the fall of Blue
fields Bluff and flight of General Reyes
Protrant is not credited here. Managha is
two hundred miles from Bluefelds, and the
news would take ten days in Its passage.
Besides, If Managua could have heard from
Bluefields, the commander of the Marietta
could and would have reported it to this
government. The latest authentic inform
alton was per the steamer Breifond, Feb
ruary 20, and at that time no Nicaraguan
troops were in the neighborhood of Blue
fields or within twenty days marching
distance The Managua dispatch is be-
lieved to be invented in, this country by
Zelaya's agents for the purpose of dis
couraging the advance of the Kansas City

MCCARTHY REPLIES
To the Reference Made to Him by Com
missioner Lacey.
To the Editor of The Age-Heraid:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
My attention has been called to an ex-
cerpt from ex-Commissioner l.. D. Lacey $
card in yesterdays News, as follows:
He asks why the examiner did not have
circuit clerk, on whose bond the governor 3
name appears
In asking this question Mr. Lacey is either
Intentionally misleading or he was too
busily engaged in increasing the number of
laboring days In the calendar year Cat So
per day. to make an investigation. If
neither OF these surmises is correct, it
may be that the ex-commissioner, being
absent on his bridal tour (at So per day.
was not aware that Judge Purifoy, chief
examiner, spent several weeks in exam
lining the books of the circuit clerk for this
county.
During my tenure of office, covering a
period of more than eleven years, my books
were never examined and my accounts
never checked until Joseph f. Johnston,
one of the sureties on my official BOND,
was elected governor of Alabama. Shortly
after this election Judge John Purifoy in
vestigated the books of the circuit clerk S
office, together with those of other county
officials. In addition to this, before my
retirement from office, in order that no
possible confusion should ever arise,
checked with the solicitors report of all
the cases in the circuit court, both for the
Birmingham and Bessemer divisions, and
sent my report to the auditor at Montgom-
cry. After having them again checked
there, 1 received from Mr.. Sam j. Car
penter, the assistant auditor, the assurance
that my accounts were correct and that
owed the state of Alabama nothing.
