BESSEMER.

Bessemer, March 22-(Special) = Last night at the meeting of the city council the Birmingham Southern railroad made application through it's president, G. B. McCormack, for right of way along First avenue, beginning at Twenty-second street. This will enable the new road to connect with the sdings of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company, all of whose tracks 1t has purchased.
 The matter was referred to a special com- mittee consisting of the railroad commit tee and Wm. H. H. Judson and w. J. Long.
 The right of way will no doubt be grant ed on condition that the company chert the street from curb to curb and keep it well lighted.
 As is well known the new road will run from Bessemer to Blocton. It Is expected that it will then be extended from Besse- mer to Ensley, there connecting with the tracks of the Tennessee company which have a right of way into Birmingham.
 This will make the seventh railway which enters Bessemer. The others are the Ala bama Great Southern, the Louisville and

NICE LEGAL QUESTION.
Will Bicycle Tax Act as a Boomerang
 to States Revenue?

A nice legal question has been raised in connection with the bicycle tax recently passed by the legislature, which, if correct, will prove a boomerang in it's effect upon the states revenues, which it was intended to increase.
 According to a strict interpretation of the act, in consideration of privilege tax of 25 cents for each bicycle the owner is re- lieved of all other taxes, which will, of course, prevent the collection of the state and county tax on personal property, which at valuation of $50 for each bicycle amounts to 571a cents.
 On the basis of last years personal prop erty, Tax Assessor Mclaughlin has made up his assessments for 1899, including bicy- cles and other personal property, and much complication will result unless some de- cision is rendered.
 After April Tax Commissioner Wetmore will take charge of all delnquents, and 1t is reported that he is already practicing daily in order to be in condition to give the boys-and girls for that matter-a race for their money if they escape him. For this service he will be allowed an additional 10 per cent, and $115 for serving notice, making the cost of the license after that date $1.521k. Up to date about seventy-five certificates have been issued.

Hoyt's A Day and a Night"

Hoyt's "A Day and a Night" which is announced as the merriest connection of humor which has emanated from the brain of this popular playwright, and which has been testing the capacity of the Garrick theater, New York, for the past ten weeks, will be presented at O'Briens opera house Friday night with the original cast and all the stage accessories which characterized it's success in the great metropolis.
 The piece involves the experience of yong man of sainted aspect who arrives in New York city from New Jersey with hand-satchel full of morals, and who is prompted by his surroundings to discard his morals and become sporty"
 This character was written for Otis liar Ian, whose unique and breezy creation of Hot Stuff in "A Black Sheep will be pleasantly remembered, and he is sup- ported by cast which MT. Hoyt claims is the strongest and most versatile he has ever organized, as follows: w. M. Devere, Celia Clay Ed. Wonn, Lloyd Wilson, Charles Zimmerman, Ed Garvie, Robert Cowan, Jules Jordan, Clarice Agnew, Hat tie Wells, Alma Kramor, Hattie Williams, Cecile Sands, Sidney Mansfield, Leah De Groot, Harry Donnehan and Maie Lowrie.

A MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY.
Collins Opening Was Glowing Success
 in Every Respect.

Of the spring openings which have been given in Birmingham this season none have met with more gratifying success than that of MT. J. D. Collins Indeed Col lins' opening was a brilliant affair in every detail. His mammoth stock of the latest styles in mems and women's footwear Is seen only to be admired. It is apparent to the most casual observer who visits the store that especial care has been exercised by MT. Collins buyers in selecting his spring stock, and, judging from the sales of the past three days, 1t Is very evident that this popular house will carry over no dead stock at the close of this season.
 Collins was one of the first places visit ed by the sight-seers and attendants upon the openings Monday, and numerous en- comiums were bestowed upon his. mag
 nificent display by the admiring visitors. Both the display windows bear evidence of the hand of an artist as well good taste and splendid judgment of the buyer in the eastern markets. In the east window is a beautiful assortment of the latest spring styles in womens footwear, while in the west, tastily arranged. beautiful line of the most up-to-date shapes and shades of mems fine shoes. But a very slight idea of what is to be seen on the inside can be gained from the windows, however, as they are quite inadequate for so large stock.

NO MORE BODIES RECOVERED

New York; March 22.-Besides the fifteen dead whose bodies have been recovered, forty-nine persons who are supposed to have been in the Windsor hotel when it was destroyed on Friday are yet unac- counted for.
 No bodies were recovered today, but shortly after o'clock tonight a fragment of charred flesh was found on the Fifth avenue side of the ruins near where other bodies were found, but deeper down. The five bodies that were recovered on Mon day or Tuesday, or what remains of them, are still at the morgue One has partly been identified by two of the hotel em- ployes as that of Mrs. Margaret Auze, of New York, but this identification is not considered conclusive. The rain today in terferred with the rapid progress of the work to some extent, and it was not until the afternoon that the workers succeeded in getting steadily down to the removal of the debris.
 The fire department still has its lines about the ruins, isolating a considerable section of one of the busiest parts of the city.
 A force of about 250 men was employed throughout the afternoon and a new shift of the same number was put on at night.
