A CYPRIAN A "TRUSTY.-

Some time during the last week.
Judge Sullivan OF the county court, re-
fused to grant new trial to Emma
Howard, the cyprian who was tried and
convicted of keeping bawdy house in
this city.
A few days later she was ordered COM
mitted by the court, until she paid the
fines in the two counts, upon which she
was found guilty, the fines amounting
to $50 and the costs, including the fines
to $240.
She did not pay the fines and when it
came time to commit her, she through
her attorney, made a protest under the
law that she would not enter the county
Jail, unless the county commissioners
provided a special room for her. This
they refused to do and she is allowed to
be considered q "trusty" until a room
can be provided for her.
1t is statuatory provision in this
state that woman may refuse to be in
carcerated in cell, in room where
men arc confined. That the female
prisoner may demand a room separated
from men entirely. even though the cells
are entirely separated.

SMOKING ON A DEAD MAN.

1t is not often that n person has the
Opportunity OF / lnl .sn-a' on a dead
man for whom you had previously writ
ten an obituary, but the editor OF this
paper enjoyed that sensation yesterday
About two weeks ago the report was
current in this city that James Frede-
licks a well known roailroad man had
died in Leadville, from pnemonia, con-
tracted during the time he was acting
as firemen on an engine that had been
bucking the great snow drifts near
Leadville. No information could be
obtain ed from him and the report was
generally accepted. A few days after
a telegram from SAlida, frmo the master
mechanics Office was received, saying
that he was alive mad well.
Yesterday, Mr.. Fredericks, who has
many friends in this city paid them a
visit and is today, enjoying the unique
distinction of having read his obituary.
He met the editor of this paper yester-
day and thought the joke was such .
good one that he purchased the finest
cigars in the city with which the editor
and the gentleman regaled themselves.
Speaking Of the great storm and the
work that he WAS engaged in at tho
time and the hardships incident thereto,
Mr.. Fredericks said that he was very
sick and that he was not very long dis
tance from crossing the fabled river.
He contracted an awfully hard cold and
he was only saved by having the very
best Of care and attention.

GOOD WORK OF
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Saved the Coleman Building at
1915 Second Avenue.
NEXT DOOR TO AGE-HERALD
Fire Originated in Third Floor Which
Was Used as Warehouse-Bir-
mingham Printing Co., and Bon
durant & Lloyd Damaged

Yesterday about $40 o'clock Manager
Woodruff, of the telephone exchange, saw
flames bursting from the windows of the
third story of building No. 1916, Second
avenue, the lower floor of which is oe-
cupied by Bondurant & Lloyd as a bakery
and confectionery; the second floor by the
Birmingham Printing company, of which r.
E. Murphy is president, and the third floor
is used as a wareroom by the Showers Fur
niture company.
Manager Woodruff at once communicated
with the fire department, and in few min
utes they were on the scene, diligently seek
ing to squelch the hungry flames. Chief
Mullen was on hand and at once realized
the difficult task before his men, and hasti-
ly dispatched a messenger for the extra en-
CINE, aerial truck and extra hose wagons,
which soon arrived. The fire 1addies work
ed bravely and efficiently and by 8 o'clock
the flames were completely subdued.
There is much speculation as to where the
fire originated l.. Haynie, an employee of
the Showers Furniture company, and col
ored porter, Will Johnson, were In the
storeroom on the third floor. Both of them
are of the opinion that the fire started on
tf1e SeCOnu IOoI, anu efHpffdtiCdiiy tcHS thot
either of them were smoking. The firemen,
however, are decidedly of the opinion that
it did start on the top floor.
Mr.. Murphy president of the Birmingham
Printing company, Is also certain that the
blaze started on the top floor. He states
that two men went up on the third floor
and just few moments after they came
down the fire broke out His loss, he de-
clares. is comparatively small saying that
outside of a motor being burned out and
some type and cases damaged by water, he
will be able to resume operations inside of
day.
The bakery of Bondurant G. Lloyd on the
lower floor was considerably damaged by
water but this firm very soon went to
work replacing their stock in the store and
were doing business as usual in the after
noon. The Showers Furniture company are
situated across the street from No. 1915.
only using the top floor at that number as a
storage department, and of course they are
not affected at ALL so far as doing business
is concerned They had about $500 worth
of chairs in the wareroom. and which were
more or less damaged, on which there was
no Insurance.
Bondurant & Lloyd, the bakers, had about
81 900 worth of stock and fixtures and car
ried insurance to the amount of $25o0. The
plant of the Birmingham Printing company
was valued at 1000, on which insurance OF
| 81. 800, placed with the Birmingham Under
writer's association, was carried.
The building was owned by Judge Thomas
w. Coleman, "a former member of the SUI
preme court bench. The roof is well dam
aged, probably to the extent of four or hvc
hundred dollars, though none of the noors
were burned through.
The Age-Herald building, which ad1oins
IN. b,rtldine burned, was slightly damaged,
. having a skylight broken.

THE BERNEY NATIONAL BANK
An Increase of 35 Per Cent Shown in
Deposits in a Year

Nothing so thoroughly demonstrates the
growth of a city and the prosperity of the
people as the increase in bank deposits, and
nothing more thoroughly demonstrates the
strength, stability and progressiveness of a
bank as the increase in it's deposits.
Nearly all the banks OF Birmingham have
increased their deposits within the past
year. No increase is, however, more pro-
portionate and stands out so conspicuously
as the deposits of the Berney National
Bank. One year ago the gross deposits of
this bank were $685. 1914. On December 2,
in the official report of this bank made to
the comptroller of the treasury, it's deposits
were shown to be $645, 17706, an increase
within one year of 80 per cent.
Among the assets of this bank are $101,0o0
of United States bonds.
The Berney National bank Is managed al
most entirely by young men-progressive,
energetic and strictly business young men.
Its building on First avenue, which is own
ed by the bank, has recently been re-
furnish and fitted UP, and is one Of the pref
tiest little banks in the city.

Twentieth street. Plans for an elegant ana
up-to-date club building are under consid-

the Southern club will have one of the
handsomest and best equipped club build
ings in The south.

JASPER CASE GOES TO
THE SUPREME COURT
Judge Coleman Granted Writ Requiring
Canvass of Returns of Last Municipal
archaeological Taken

Judge Coleman yesterday afternoon
granted a writ requiring the board of may
or and aldermen of Jasper to canvass the
returns of the municipal election held on
October 9.
This litigation grew out of the election
held in Jasper on the date mentioned. All
but three of the members of the old board
were reelected and they claimed that they
were ineligible to canvass the returns of an
election in which majority of the vote had
been cast for themselves. The new mem
bers-elect thereupon sued out writ of
mandamus to compel a canvass of the
votes. The respondents demurred to the bill
on the ground that it had been directed
against some members of the board as
individuals and not against the board as
a body. The demurrer was sustained by
Judge Coleman who heard arguments in the
case here about ten days ago.
Last week W. N. White, J. B. Hughes
and DR.. A. NJ. Stovall, three candida ties at
the October election, who received MAORI
board of aldermen seeking to compel the
latter to canvass the returns of the Octo-
Der election.
The case was argued yesterday afternoon
and at the conclusion Judge Coleman rem
dered his decision, granting the writ re-
quiring the canvass.
Supercedeas bond in the amount of $500
was made by the respondents and the case
will be carried to the supreme court.

Der of Prisoners

A PRETTY COMPLIMENT
Paid VI. D. Colby by the Wall Paper
News

We clip the following from the December
number of the New York Wall Paper News:
There is a pretty little story connected
with a natural rose festoon border manu-
featured by Warren, Fuller & Co. Last
September the worlSmen of w. D. Colby, Of
Birmingham, Ala, hung room with green
ingram paper, using this floral frieze, and
while working in another room left the
window open. A humming bird in search of
sweets ventured in and stayed for some
time picking at the roses on the border to
find honey in the heart of the counterfeit
flowers. When Mr.. E. b. Ryan, Warren,
Fuller &c Co.'S representative reported the
story to some of his customers he was ac-
eused of owning the bird and having it
trained"
The above story may seem little like
fiction, but is really fact, and is vouched
for by the paper hangers who, of course,
never prevaricate, but also by the lady at
whose house the work was being done.
