BROKEN DOWN HORSES.

The attention of the District Commission
Washington Humane Society to a paper
read before the society by Mrs. Crammond
Kennedy, in which she referred to the for
lorn, broken-down horses used to draw ash
carts and wagons through the streets. She
suggested that a remedy might be found in
the licensing of men engaged in the re-
moval of ashes and other refuse. The Com
missioners informed Mr.. A. S. Pratt the
president of the society, through whom
Mrs kennedy's paper was transmitted,
that they have 10 right to require the ash
men to take out licenses. But they stated
that they were considering plans for col
lecting ashes and refuse under municipal
control, and hoped to be- in the near future,
in condition to adopt soma system which
will subs stantially abate the conditions to
which Mrs. Kennedy referred
Recently the society asked If any action
is being taken or is likely to be taken rela-
tive to the statement prepared by Mrs.
Kennedy, and the Commissioners, in reply
state that they have made earnest en-
deavorS, during the recent session of Con-
gress, to provide for municipal handling of
the removal of ashes, but that Congress
did not see Mt to allow any appropriation
or grant them the authority TO do the
work In the absence of appropriation
and authority, they explain they can do
nothing further until Congress convanes
next winter. They state that they appre-
ciate the detriment to the community's
welfare in having such horses and wagons
as those referred to in the streets and in
such service, and would be very glad to
have the city relieved of them If such a
thing were possible. They know, however.
of no way at present of remedying the diff
culties.

Rear Admiral w. 8. Schley, who has been
on waiting orders since his relief from
duty in command of the flying squadron,
was today assigned to duty as a member
of the naval examining board in this city.
Although not so stated, it is understood
that this assignment is merely temporary,
pending a compliance with Admiral
Schley's urgent request to the department
some months ago to be assigned to the
command of a squadron. Admiral Schley
has strong preference for sea duty and
has been promised the command of the
European station in case of its re- establish
ment. There does not appear to be any
prospect of such action for many months to
come, but in case the department should
conclude to reduce the strength of Admiral
Sampson's command. two nor more vessels
would then become available for service on
the European station. The North Atlantic
squadron, which recently left Port of Spain
for Barbados. is to rendezvous in Nara

RUN DOWN BY ENGINE.
Mrs. Kate Chambers Killed Near Caine
 Station.

Mrs Kate Chambers, white woman living in Avondale, was run over and killed by d switch engine on the Southern rail- ways tracks near Cain station yesterday morning. The body was horribly mangled and the woman died instantly.
 At the time of the accident Mrs. Cham bers was walking along the track picking up coal. She has just crossed tine other tracks and had stopped to pick up a few Jumps of coal when the engine came up behind her
 Those who witnessed the killing say that the engineer on the switch engine rang the bell and blew the whistle repea tedly but could not stop in time to prevent the acci- dent Another engine was switching near the woman. and it is supposed this noise detracted her attention from the engine behind her
 Engineer Haggart and Conductor Howell were in charge of the Southern switch engine. They both seemed to regret the ae- cident but said that when the woman stopped on the track they were too close to her to bring the engine to a stand still.
 Coroner Dallas went out to Caine station to hold an inquest over the dead body, but after examining several witnesses he found that such action was unnecessary as no one except the unfortunate woman seemed to be responsible for the accident.

DIR. SAUNDERS HERE.
Has Been Inspecting the Yellow Fever
 Situation.

The state health officer, Dr. w. IT. Sanders, was in Birmingham yesterday on his way from Vicksburg to Montgomery. pr. Sanders satisfied himself that there is no yellow fever at Vicksburg. but he is convinced that one case has developed in Jackson. though he did not personally in- speet the latter town.
 The train on which he was travelling was stopped a considerable distance outside of Jackson and the local health officer went out and reported to Dr. Sanders the exist ance of one case of fever. Alabama has quarantined against Jackson.
 Dr. Sanders has been aware of a fourth case of yellow fever in New Orleans, and is officially informed of the cases at other points, as reported by the Associated Press from day to day.
 Although, as the doctor stated, there are six or eight weeks ahead for yellow fever to develop, he expresses entire confidence that the rigid quarantine that the Alabama authorities will constantly enforce will serve to keep the fever from appearing anywhere in this state.

 a Huge Success. THOUSANDS OF VISITORS Ten Thousand People Were in Attend ance and Over 5000 Presents Were Given Away-Hand-
 some Decorations
THOUSANDS OF VISITORS

The Stowers Furniture company intro- duced an innovation in Birmingham yes- terday in the way of mammoth furniture opening. That the event met with the full expectations of the enterprising merchant who planned it was evidenced by the inn mense attendance.
 The occasion had been duly advertised in The Age-Herald, and from early yesterday morning until late in the evening there was d steady stream of people going to and from the store. A conservative estma @ of the number of people who visited the place during the day would be 1O,0e0. Over three thousand souvenirs were given away.
 From the throngs of fair attendants up- on the occasion were heard many encon- iums paid the management and it's popular house upon the magnificent display. It seemed as if this hustling business place had been converted into d magnificent ex- hibition hall the creme de la creme of house furnishing goods having been ar ranged in most artistic manner In fact on each of the four floors of the building was evidence of the adapt in decorative art. The goods were displayed as follows First floor, china closets, bookcases, side beards etc.; second flood, bed room suits, ladies' desks, etc. third floor, tables, desks, stoves, lamps, dining chairs, office furni- ture, etc.; fourth floor, carpets, mating, rugs, portieres, center tables, rattan goods, draperies of all kinds. fine parlor goods, etc.
 In every department was to be seen some thing attractive, but the fourth floor was the center of attraction. It was here that the presents were distributed

Stowers, who is the proprietor of several other furniture houses, is the head of the Stowers Furniture company of this city, and the opening Is characteristic of the business enterprise for which he Is noted He is surrounded in the Birming- ham store by thoroughly capable and faithful force of men as follows:

THREE-CORNERED FIGHT.
Negroes Have Row-Seve:al Shots
 Were Fired.

Lee Turner. Henry White and Huston Thornton, three negroes, participated in a three-cornered shooting affrsy near the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham yards yesterday afternoon. Henry Whites participation consisted of a successful run ,toTa nearby ditch. Lee Turner handled the gun. while illusion Thornton kept along side him, presumably to Inspire courage. About six shots We're fired, but as Henry reached entrenchments without much loss of time no one was hurt. The trio were arrested by Officer Mcknight, and Judge Ieagin will determine this morning just what such an occurrence is worth to the city.
 It seems that the trouble between the ne- groes started in a saloon and was renewed when the men reached Lee Turner's home. He immedia tely went in and secured a pis- .tol with which to settle the affair Huston Thornton accompanied him when he came out. On tine principle that "a live coward is preferable to a dead hero," Henry inn medta ely fled.
 X c-Iarge of assa ut with q weapon was docketed against Turner and Thornton, and their cases will be tried tAis morning.
