0ne Bun street Property Owner
Picked Out as IA Victim.
Besides discussing the health department
the City Council gave its attention in eau
Gus yesterday to the balcony on Mr.. e.
B. Fitzgeralds store and dwelling, at Bull
and Ninth streets, The matter has been
before the street and lane committee for
a week or more
MIR. Fitzgerald projected a four
foot balcony from the second story
OF his drug store the upper floor of which
is to be used as a dwelling. The balcony
is on the Bull street front. After ii had
been nearly completed Director of Pub
lie Works Gadsden notified Mr. Fitzgerald
that the work was in violation of law 1t
was stopped at once until the street and
lane committee could decide whether il
was to be allowed to proceed. The COM
mittee decided that the balcony must
come off, and its action was confirmed
yesterday by the Council as a committee
of the whole. Mr. Fitzgerald was before
the committee and stated the circum-
stances under which the balcony had been
built and which have been given in the
Morning News. After the meeting he was
notified of the committees action by Clerk
of Council Bailey. In the notice il is
stated tnaL II Is the pOlicy or The admin
istration to prohibit all encroachments In
the southern section of the city"
The Council has plenty of opportunity
to enforce its policy If 1t really intends
10 do so except in special
cases. There are half dozen or
more balconies or piazzas extending over
the sidewalk line in various localities in
the southern section some of them recent
~ built in Mr., Ftzgerald's own neigh
borhood. If the Council intends TO prohibit
encroachments on streets, property own
ers want 70 see clean sweep. When the
limits of the city were extended south
ward beyond Anderson street and that
section began to build up there was a
good deal of talk about wide lots wide
streets and houses set back from the
streets, and lawns and driveways and
flower gardens. The plan that has been
pursued, however, is little different from
that further down town.
Property owners generally will COM
mend the Council in its efforts to prohibit
and remove entertainments If il is done
without exception. and in the interest of
the entire section Of the city. The public
would be glad, too, If the Council would
go further and insist on the removal of
street encroachments in the more thickly
populated sections OF the city where The
encroachments are not only unsightly but
are distractions.

cell. when McCollum sprang out and
knocked both down In falling Richard
sons head struck the corner of the iron
door, and bad cash was cut, which rem
dered him partially unconscious.
The two men ran for the street entrance,

MIR A. J. Dierks i'm the Lurch.
Robert Williams, colored, driver for Mr..
A. ]. Dierks, grocer, at Jones and Whita-
ker streets, has gone to New York with
so of his employers money. The conf
dence placed in the driver enabled him TO
better carry out his scheme of collecting
bills, and then pocketing the amount ana
leaving town before he was suspected.
Williams showed up for work Saturday
and went out soliciting orders While do
ing 80, he collected from a number of peo-
pie, and succeeded in getting about $50. ac-
cording TO MIR. Derks' calculation. After
getting all The cash he could, Williams re-
ported sick at the store, and asked that
another negro, whom he introduced, be
allowed 10 take the place temporarily.
This was agreed to, and after leaving the
store Williams is thought 20 have lost no
time in getting TO the City OF Birmingham.
on which he went to New York. The fact
thai he had stolen away was not known
until yesterday when Mr.. Dierks began
10 make inquiries as 10 the drivers oondl-
ton.
Since Williams left ii is believed thar he
has been treating himself literally for
some time 10 cigars and other goods about

D.erks for about year.

John Jones Remarked for Assault
With Intent to Murder.


The Recorder had long list Of Offend
ers before him in Police Court yesterday
morning. the charges running the criminal
gamut and embracing about every viola
ton of the law frem drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct to larceny and murder.
Some of the old familiar faces were in
the bunch Of arrests, and as to them the
Recorder dealt out justice with no light
hand.
John Jones was turned over to the Su-
perior Court upon a charge of assault
with intent to murder Policeman Tom
Murphy last Friday night. Jones was the
cause of most unearthly disturbance
that was taking place in Henry lane, and
when the policeman arrested him he drew
an ugly knife and inflicted a long and
painful wound in Murphy's head, Not
withstanding the wound and the loss Of
blood that 1t caused, Murphy pursued the
escaping negro, who ran as soon as he
had cut the officer. and caught him.
The policeman was able to appear in
couTt against his assai.ant, but still plain
ly showed The effects of the wound in
hlcted by Jones. On the night he re-
ceived the wound Murphy was dyed red
with blood from shoulder to waist.
Mamie Henderson was turned over TO
tie City Court for assault and battery
on Maggie Ray with knife, and Joe
Rivers was remauded also as an Access
sorry before the fact. The row in which
the parties engaged was one of the reg
ular midnight frolics, and the result Of
an over indulgence in mean whisky.
Abe Stale was given fifteen days in Jail
for driving away from the store the de-
livery wagon of Mr.. ]. c. Slater. The
wagon and horse had been left standing
on Congress street by the driver and Stale
coming along was overcome by a drunken
desire to take a ride. No sooner had the
thought entered his head than he was on
the seat and away. When the proprietor
emerged some minutes later from the store
he was mystlfied by the disappearance of
the wagon and reported the loss with his
belief that the wagon had been stolen 10
the police. Soon afterwards Stale was
found driving around the streets and ap-
parently greatly pleased with himself and
everything in sight
He was invited to come off his perch and
the wagon was returned to its owner
while its quondam driver was sent to the
station house. 1t was more or less evil
dent to the Recorder that the negro was
not Intentionally thief but that he had
only meant to satisfy his inclination to
take a ride. For this reason he was fined
for the disorder and not remanded TO the
City Court for larceny or to the Superior
Court for horse stealing, as might very
well have been done
Emma De Loach whose name is spread
all over the records of the Police Court for
the past ten years, was sent to the chain
gang for thirty days. Her old offense
drunkenness, was the cause of the SEN
tence that the Recorder imposed, and she
was not allowed the alternative of paying
fine.
