NN the southwest corner of First
 avenue aud Twentieth street
 = has bee.i sold to James l.. Tan ner of this city for $12O,OOO. The property belonged to the estate of the late John Boddie, and was sold by Captain w. c. Ward, administrator.
 This corner has always been considered the most centrally located and the most desirable business property in Birmingham. About 1888 the lot was leased for term of ten years from MT. Bodde, and the pres ent temporary structure erected on it Numerous attempts have been made in the meantime to purchase the property, but for some reason the parties never agreed an price.
 MT. Tanner refused to say for whom he had purchased the property. He admitted, however, that he was representing sym dicate of eastern capitalists, who were al- ready interested in Birmingham, and who are endeavoring to obtain other property than the Boddie corner in Birmingham.
 Present Structure Will be Torn Away
 He said he did not know just what use
  that the understanding was that the whole of the present brick structure would be torn down to make way for another build- ing It has been rumored at various times that a ten-story office building would be erected on the property. Most of the leases on the present property expire next Octotef, though some of them continue until next January. Just when the syndicate intends to begin the work of improvement is yet to be seen.
 "The $12O,OOO paid for the Boddie corner means that the property sold for $l,2OO per front foot" said MT. Tanner. Property similarly located in Atlanta, which city is not twice as large as Birmingham, sold last week for $2,SO0 per front foot, and the fu- ture of Atlanta is nothing like as favorable as that of Birmingham.
 During my residence in Birmingham, something over two years, have openly predicted that Birmingham is by nature destined to be the leading city in the south, and those who will display the nerve and courage to plant their dollars here will not make a mistake.
 "Values in the boom days of 1886 and 1887 were based on what Birmingham expected to become and today we have even more than we contemplated in those days, and values today are based on what really ex- ists. The future painted for Birmingham | in the boom days is incomparable to the l one that is now dawning on this city. Birming ham the Magnet "During a recent visit to New York l l was made personally acquainted with the l fact that capital and plenty of 1t was be- | ing passed to the credit of southern securi- l ties, and 1t was noticeable that Birming- ham was the center to which the magnet | irresistably pointed.

 Seeing the overpowering odds against him, the pockpocket became quiet and when the train arrived in the passenger station he was turned over to Officers Reese and Patton. J. A. Barker was the name he first gave the officer, but he afterwards changed it to J. A. Bartlett. He was im- mediately carried to the police station and locked up. On his person was found $2S.50 which he claimed he had worked for, but the exact nature of the work was not stated.

A SUCCESSFUL GEORGIAN
Joseph A. Magnus and His Famous
 Murray Hill Club Whisky
rom the Atlanta Constitution

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 A prominent Atlantian, well-known in club and society circles, was talking with a group of friends at the Kimball house the other night, when something was said about the respective merits of two popular brands of whisky.
 1T drink very little, as you all know said the gentleman who was leading the informal symposium, but when I call for whisky want the very best. The genuine art cle is a beneficial tonic and stimuant, and, used properly, it will do more good than harm.
 Some time ago I began drinking the Murray Hill Club whisky, and I don't know of better brand anywhere. In fact, it Is not saying too much to claim that it is without rival And this reminds me that the Murray Hill Club article is the spe- cialty which has brought our old friend Joseph A. Magnus, to the front in his line of business. Among the wholesale liquor dealers of Cincinnati no firm stands higher than the popular one of Joseph A. Magnus & Co.,
 "I was in that city a few days ago, and was delighted to meet Magnus. I found him in his new quarters. He has moved from his old stand to handsome six-story building on Main street You would be astonished to see his immense stock and facilities for handling his large and rapidly increasing trade. The house is all the time crowded with customers from a distance and the mail orders keep large force busy.
 1T told Magnus that his Murray Hill Club was my favorite, and that in my travels in many states found 1t sold by the most prominent dealers everywhere. It is rapid ly driving inferior brands out of the mar ket, and is such a quick seller that many interruptions parties are refilling the bot ties, or trying to initiate it. MT. Magnus laughs at these tricks. He says that the package, label and advertising may be icn- itated, but he defies anybody to initiate his whisky.
 "Magnus & Co. are widely and favorably known in this region and their trade is simply tremendous You know MT. Magnus Is a Georgian He halls from Rome and his enterprise and fair and liberal dealing have won for him splendid reputation and great popularity throughout the west, as we'll as the south. I firmly believe that his Murray Hill Club whisky will make him one of the richest men in Cincinnati, if he sticks to his present line of business few years longer.
 "But you know as much about 1t as I do. Nine out of ten of the gentlemen l meet in soc ety and club circles always ask for this brand of whisky. When a man has once tried it he never wants any other kind. You see, it is altogether different from ordinary liquor-no headache in it-no bad effects following it's use. This Is because it Is pure. I always advise my friends to keep 1t in their families. Promptly and properly used it will save many a doctors bill Honestly, believe that such frst-class,

PAYMENT OF SOLDIERS
Who Once Fought Under Cuban Ban \ her Will Soon Begin

N Havana, May 6.-The payment of the $3, 900, 900 allotted by the United States govern fnent to the Cuban troops will begin at the end of next week. The governor general and General Gomez have decided that it would be impracticable to verify further the rolls as submitted by the recently dis solved Cuban assembly.
 After all the privates and non-commis- stoned officers are paid some money will be left and the remainder will probably be divided among the maimed and destitute officers of the army.

RASH STATEMENTS
Of the Assemblist Leaders May Incite
 Outlawry

Havana, May 6.-Utterances by General Lacret and others of the assembist lead- CTS are published here today, which might be regarded as tending to in1ame the minds of Cubans against the United States and to incite them to outlawry. General La- cret Is quoted as saying that, while he has no doubt of the honorable intentions of the United States toward the Cubans, troubles and misunderstanding arise through the ignorance of departments as to the condil tion in Cuba
 The general Is also reported as having said that he could not see how the lower classes would be able to live during the year. The crops are now harvested, busi- ness is dull and industries are at a stand- still. The capital of the islanders is hoard- ed while foreign capital is tmid.
 The general opinion is that the starving Cubans would soon be obliged to steal in order to keep body and soul together, and that if they were to steal property they could not be blamed. Of the $S 900, 900 sent from the United States for the payment of the Cuban soldiers, that money would be spent in saloons, and would give no substantial help.
 Talk like this, which is repeated by other prominent Cubans, is believed to be caus- ing outlawry.
 Strikes are spreading. The stevedores at Cienfuegos have again quit work.
 General Wilson has ordered that the res- ervoirs and tanks of the Cienfuegos aque- duct be cleaned, They are In filthy con- dition and to that source Is attributed a large percentage of sickness in Cienfuegos.

 @0 ist church lot on the corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street was purchased for the sum of $5o0oO. The pa- pers were all made out in James L.

 As in the case with the Hewlett block, MT. Tanner refused to say for whom he has bought the property, or what was go- ing to be done with it. He said that this would all be developed in the course of time. He admitted, however, that he was representing the same party of capitalists in both deals.

Leased Until Fall

It Is not probable that the new owners will attempt to do anything with the prop erty until fall, when the lease which the Y. M. c. A. has on the old church building expires. It seems to be a foregone con- clusion that this building will be torn down to. make room for a big building of some kind, though of what nature remains to be seen.
 This property occupies the southwest corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street, extending back 150 feet on Fourth avenue and extending the whole half block TAO feet, on Nineteenth street, the lot taking up just one-fourth of the entire block One-half of the property has al- ways been vacant, but the other half has been occupied since before boom days with a church building, which was until eight years ago the home of the First Methodist church.
