A PIONEER OF BIRMINGHAM
A. Marie Died Yesterday in New York
Helped Build the City

D. r. Dunlap, of this city, received a
telegram yesterday from Mrs. A Marie,
of New York, stating that her husband
died in that city yesterday morning of.
Brights disease.
Mr. Marie was in the early days of Bir-
mingham one of the most prominent citi-
zens of the place. and did a great deal to
upbuild the city. He bought the first lot
ever sold In Birmingham by the Elyton
Land company, the northeast corner of
First avenue and Nineteenth street, where
the Saks building now stands. He also
built on this lot the first brick building
erected in this city, and 1t stood for num-
Der of years. He also owned a great deal
of other property around the city and he
made a fortune out of 1t when prices be-
gan to rise. He was a public-spirited man
and took prominent part in the early ad-
ministration of the citys affairs.
On account of continued i'll health Mr..
Marie left Birmingham in 1895, and since
that time he and his wife have been living
in New York.
The deceased was an italian by birth,
having been born in Italy. He came to
. this country in early youth, and although
he was not a slave or property owner at
the outbreak of the war, he enlisted in the
confederate army and served in one of the
Alabama regiments in the Army of yir-
ginia. He was captured and spent several
years in one of the federal prisons. Soon
after the war he left his home in We
tupka and removed to Birmingham.

HAVE SIMMERED DOWN
Both Sides Are Now Quietly Working
for Votes

Municipal politics in Woodlawn have
sobered down somewhat during the past
few days, compared with the exciting
times which prevailed the early part of the
week when so many harmony meetings
were being held. Each side seems to have
settled down, and is preparing for work.
az don't see that there is so much more
to be DONE" said R. Du Pont Thompson,
of the Citizens campaign committee,
yesterday Both sides have put their
tickets in the field and every citizen of
Woodla Tn knows the personal merits of
each candidate. The town is not large
enough to Justify public speaking, and I
am hoping that the campaign on both sides
will be a quiet and dignifed one"
"Our side completed their organization
last night" said John S. Kennedy, of the
Administration" campaign committee,
land we are now preparing for a house to
house canvass of all the voters in the town.
i don't think either side wants any public
speaking. and 1 doubt if there will be any,"

PICMUPS AMONG
THE POLICEMEN

"Prisoners sometimes display wonderful
ingenuity in their efforts to conceal stolen
jewelry," said policeman while taking to
a crowd. 81 remember on one occasion
where a noted pickpoeket and thief was
caught in Huntsville He was seen to clip q
diamond stud from the shirt of a prominent
gentleman and the police Immediately
started after him. He was captured and
taken to the city prison. The officers were
sure he had the diamond, but search as
they could they We're unable to find it.
They searched him carefully several times
but failed to find the missing stud and he
was placed in a cell. A fellow prisoner
watched him as he lay down on the bunk
and he was seen to cautiously remove a
chew of tobacco from his mouth and after
placing something in it he stuck it in one
corner. The warden was notified of the
strange action and he went Immediately
to investigate. The chew of tobacco was
found just where he said it was and care
fully concealed in it was the missing dia-
mond stud. The pickpocket had kept the
stone in his mouth all the time while he
was chewing tobacco and it had thereby
escaped detection"
