TREASURER EUSTIS'
 ANNUAL REPORT

City Treasurer Eustis has completed his annual report. This report shows that the city owes $193,295 unpaid interest. This will not likely bother the business men, for it is considered that Birmingham is growing city and all this can be wiped out in a few years. The report is as follows: To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham:
 l submitted to you on August 1, 1896, a re- port of the first years operation of the plan by which Messrs. Steiner Bros, un- der contract with your honorable body, were to cause to be withheld $52 800 annual ly of bond interest for the term of five years. I now beg to submit to you a tabu- lated report showing the operation of the plan in detail from it's beginning to date and covering a period of three years and five months.
 It will be seen from this table that dur ing the first year of the plan, s54, S5O of in- terest coupons were withheld, leaving the city that year to pay for $40,75O of It's 1n- nual fixed charges for bond interest of $95, 100; during the second year $52, 99O of coupons were withheld, during the third year ,s65 of coupons were withheld and for the five months of the fourth year s31,- 390 of coupons were withheld, making the total amount of past due and unpaid cou- pons to date s193295.
 In accordance with contract, interest at per cent, payable semi-annually, on de- ferred coupons has been remitted as 1t became due and submit herewith report of the amounts remSted on the several dates indicated. Your attention is called to the increase of this interest, the prin- cipal upon which interest upon deferred coupons will be computed for the present year being S21S,S95.
 Respectfully submittetd,
 GEORGE EUSTIS,
 City Treasurer.

ANNEXATION
 WILL BE REVIVED Resolution WiII be Presented the City
 Council Tonight, TOGETHER WITH A MEASURE Which it is Proposed to Send to the
 Legislature. WILL HAVE NO CONDITIONS Committee Will Meet Again This Morn- ing to Consider New Charter The Annual Report of City
 Treasurer Geo. Eustis.
WILL HAVE NO CONDITIONS

The consolidation movement started in Birmingham some time ago and as sud- denly squelched, is not dead.
 The "Greater Birmingham" proposition will be brought up at the meeting of the city council again tonight. There has been considerable change in sentiment brought about in the main by the call of the legisla- ture for the constitutional convention. In gent that the populous portion of Jones val ley be incorporated under one city govern- ment.
 It was learned last night that a member of the board of aldermen had prepared a resolution which would be read to the city council tonight. It will be accompanied by a bill which has been prepared to go to the legislature This bill differs from the other one in that it contains no conditions. All suburbs that may be incorporated must share alike. The introduction of this sub ject in the council meeting may call for warm argument, but it is believed that the resolution sending the matter to the legs- lature will be acted upon favorably.
 It is believed that the bill which held out certain inducements to some and more to others conspired to defeat the movement during December. It will be remembered that this proposition was the live wire which made many sittings of the city solons entertaining The movement was first started by a mass meeting. The suburbs took up the matter and fought 1t vigorously. After much wrangle and many committee meetings the question was dropped by the city council at the first meeting in De- cember.
 The new city charter will probably be presented to the board tonight The com mittee having 1t in charge held a meeting yesterday afternoon. They could not agree certain points and adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.
 On account of illness Mayor Evans has been unable to complete his annual message and this will go over until another meet ing

STEAMED OYSTER s.
The Latest Innovation at Gelder's Res-
 taurant.

Birmingham is always ahead of the times, whether 1t be in industrial progress or in the more practical things of life The latest innovation is the introduction of steamed. oysters by Gelders' restaurant where the delicious bivalves are served in a manner which cannot fail to tickle the palate of the most delicate connosseur. Oysters served in this style are exceedingly popular in Washington, Baltimore and other eastern cities, but heretofore the south has not indulged in the luxury. The shell oyster Is placed in a large steamer and a full head of steam is turned on until the oyster is done, when 1t is served with a delicious butter sauce.
 MT. Gelders is prepared to serve oysters in this style equal to Cramer's steamed oysters in Washington, which have a na- tional reputation. Drop in and try dozen steamed for a change. sss

SChIatter's Permit to Preach on the Streets Was Revoked, But He Be- gan His Performance on Schedule Time-Will be Forced to Move Off the Streets.
An Old Negress on Crutches Claims to Have Been Healed, and a Man Says He Was Relieved of a Head ache.

The long-haired Messiah" pr. Schlatter, is continuing his performances as the divine healer in this city, and the crowds attend ing the affair have grown to enormous pro- portions.

hand can cure anything from the seven- year itch to appendicitis and 'embalmed beef" dyspepsia.
 Schlatter's permit to preach on the streets
 was revoked by Mayor Evans yesterday morning. His financial manager and press agent of the strawberry curb protested,
 but in vain. The police did not molest the
 "healer," however, when he began his per- formance.
 Dr.. Schatter is creating considerable talk among the educated class of people well as the illiterate. One well-dressed gentle-
 man, on being relieved by the "healer'' yes terday afternoon, remarked, "It is simply
 marvellous. I was suffering with terrible
 headache, and though I had tried every
 thing, could get no relief, but as soon as
 the healer's fingers touched my pulse the
 headache had gone. I don't know what his power is, but he certainly effected cure in my case, and whether he is fake or not I am very thankful, indeed, for the relief he gave me-

GRADING COMPLETED
On Winfield Branch of the Canton,
 Aberdeen and Nashville

The grading of the Winfield branch of the Canton, Aberdeen and Nashville railroad is now practically completed, except for few cuts through the solid rock.
 Walter Smith, one of the contractors who is constructing the road, said yesterday that the prolonged spell of rainy weather had greatly retarded the work, but that nevertheless the work was progressing night and day. He hopes to have the whole grade. rocky region and all, ready to re- ceive the track by the middle~of February.
 The switches and connections with the Kansas City. Memphis and Birmingham road at Winfield have already been laid, and the Chicago firm which has the con- tract for laying the track, Is expected to arrive and begin operations at an early date.

BIG COAL DEAL.
Fourth Interest Sold in the Dogwood
 Property.

Walter Oliver, of Calera, was in the city yesterday drawing up the papers of big deal in coal lands which has just been con- summated in Shelby county.
 The deal is for the sale of ene-fourth in terest in the property of the Dogwood Coal Mining company, by Randall and Cary, the owners, to parties in Maryland. The en- tire property consists of about four hundred acres of rich coal lands, which there are several mines now in operation.
 The price paid for the one-fourth inter- est was $2O,o0O, which is at the rate of $2OO an acre. It is said that a great deal of the money will be expended in opening up new mines and further developing the property.

 The crowds that gather around the New Messiah" have become so large that the doctor has been notified he will have to suspend operations this popular thoroughfare as the streets became so blocked traffic is almost impossible. Chef McDonald was seen in regard to what ac- tion would be had in the matter. No, there is no ordinance against the "healer's' performance" said he, ''but he, as well as
