SUMMER SEASON
 AT EAST LAKE The Opening Bill Will Be Head ed By Ellsworth and
 Burt.

The prospects for summer amusements in Birmingham are exceedingly bright and especially so in the theatrical line.
 Since the Southern Amusement Syndi-- cate has secured control of East Lake for the present theater period, the manage ment has been busy booking nothing but the very best attractions and the opening card is an especially strong one and if the press agent of -tfffs amusement combine is to be relied upon those to follow are equally as good if not better
 The advantage the syndicate has over all other organizations comes from the fact that in consolidating the interests of the amusement department of the street railroad companies in the south it is en- abIed to make more Satisfactory con tracts with performers and combinations than can be done single handed. Another feature is that the syndicate people are putting new blood, so to speak, in the south and 90 per cent. of al the facts and corrToinations are coming from the big Keith, Proctor and Kohl and Castle cir cults and people who can work these cir cults during the winter season should be capable of giving pleasing satisfaction during the summer
 The opening bill for East Lake begin ming Monday, May 29 will be headed by Ellsworth 6 Burt in Domestic Pets," one-act sketch featured this week at Keith's Boston theater which is acknowl- edged the finest house in the world. They will be supplemented by William J. Cook in a new and novel musical act entitled "Frolics of a Clown at Home," Sam J. Adams, vocalist, and mimic in songs and limitations of James A. Hurne, Ava Le- niria the famous lyric soprano whose voice has the sweetness of a nightingale and a range of three octaves, and the Wood sisters who will be seen in the very latest dances, buck and wing, set off with appropriate and catchy song hits of the period, together with moving pictures.
 This company will remain at East Lake for one week, when another headed by Purcell x Maynard in a comieal comic opera sketch. ''The Prima Donna and the Wise Boy will be presented.
 General Manager MeClary of the B.r- mingham Railway and Electric company will run special through trains for the benefit of patrons.

JAMES P. WITHEROW,
Famous Builder of Furnaces, is in the
 City

James P. Witherow, of Pittsburg, the most famous builder of pig iron furnaces in this country arrived in Birmingham from Gadsden last night. He will leave for Am nston. Whether MT. Witherow will return, to Birmingham or what his movements will be in the immediate future was not as-, certained last night.
 But his visit doubtless has to do with the industrial situation in this district. He has not come south in May for the benefit Of his health, nor would he be at all likely to visit Gadsden or Anniston out of sheer love of fun or lively pastime.
 He went to Gadsden and Attalla to have a look at the pig iron furnaces at those places. The furnace at Attalla has been idle for many years, but there has been much talk that it would be put into blast at an early date.
 Work is now in progress on the fur- mace at Annisten. Doubtless in each case Mir. Witherow has been summoned as an expert.

POLICE BEGIN WAR.
 ON THE GAMBLERS Arresting Them on Charge Of
 Vagrancy. TEN LANDED LAST NIGHT 'Tenderloin" Thrown in Furor by the Numerous Rumors of Raids of
 All Sorts That Were .=.. Going the Rounds.
TEN LANDED LAST NIGHT

"The .tin-horns' must get out of Birmlng- ham by o'clock tomorrow afternoon was the substance of numerous expressions heard around in Birminghams tenderloln district yesterday afternoon and night. Indeed it began to be very grave sup1ecl yesterday with those members of the sporting fraternity still remaining in the city as they contemplated the wonderful activity of the police department in their midnight raids
 Hold on there minute" said big blue coat to one of these characters about mid night last night.
 70, I've been pulled, captain, and am out on bond; they've got us all
 And as the policeman walked on, the Questionable character" confidentially in- formed a friendly bystander who had wit messed the proceedings that he had just been working little bluff on the "eop; that he had not been arrested, but that ne was making all of his preparations to get out of town by daylight. And there are others, too," he added.
 Few Were Handed
 The Questionable character was right, for up to 1 o'clock this morning about ten white men, supposed to be liberal patrons of the gaming table had been arrested on the charge of "vagrancy." Among the number were J. E. Massingill, F. B. Miller, John Hall, T. H. Martin, Tom J. Berry W. H. Garner, John J. Hewett, J. A. Long, J. M. Swain, and others.
 It is very probable that no charge of gaming can be proven against these men, hut if seems that these evidence to prove that they are objectionable characters, and are accustomed to hang around Questionable plaees,'' which constitutes the crime of vagrancy. It is supposed that the police department plan is that If no evidence sufficient to convict for gaming can be obtained, that all undesirables be run out of the city by arresting them on other charges.
 There were many rumors on the streets last night about raids on questionable houses, gambling and otherwise, that were to be made in the early hours of the morn- ing and those concerned were making their preparations accordingly; that Is going to bed like good folks.
 These were not the only class of people run in last night. One fellow was hanging around the hack yard of house on Fifth avenue. for some unknown reason, and was captured; two "ladies" got drunk, in a sa- loon and were afterward "redeemed by their escorts who put up their watches in lieu of money, and many other cases of various natures.
 One of the most novel features of the evening was raid on big negro dance in the hall in Second avenue across from the post office. It seems that the dusky dancers became too noisy and disorderly, and had to be broken up by Birminghams s vigilant guardians of the peace.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
 IN MONTGOMERY Destroyed Ten Residences and Many Household Goods. THE BLAZE SPREAD RAPIDLY And Was Master of the Situation for a Long While-Houses Were .in
 Close Proximity and
 Burned Like Boxes

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Montgomery, May 15.-(SpeciaL)-An alarm early this morning carried the fire depart ment out to Stewart street. The result of the fire is eight residences totally and two partially destroyed. A large amount of household effects were also lost, on which there was ne insurance. All the house , were occupied by negroes and some of them were insured.
 Sufferers from the fire are:
 Lorenzo Phillips, colored in whose place it is supposed the fire originated, and who had a narrow escape with his life Is insurance was $i50.
 Henry Colemn, colored, owned the place he occupied and carried sS5o.
 James Tally, colored, (house owned by David Whetstone), insurance $450.
 o. Sewanson, colored, owner and oceu- pant, insurance was s450. but expired a few days ago. His house was partially de- stroyed.
 Robert Jones, colered, owner and occu- pant of house partially destroyed, no in suranee.

 George Darlington, colored, owner and occupant of house destroyed, no insurance.
 Unknown occupants of house owned by MT. Thad Watts, partially destroyed, in- surance on house $50.
 The fire is believed to have originated in the house of Phillips, but in what manner Chief Screws has not yet fully determined. It had attacked his building and the roof was ready to tumble in when he awolte. The blaze spread rapidly and was master of the situation for a long time. It had consumed three houses before the fire de- partment reached the scene and before the necessary hose, could be laid two more
