EXPLANATION OF Mr.. BLAIR
Tells That Blue Prints as to Levee Tracks
HIIsIead.

HIisIead.
Promoter +. p. Blair, of the Ter
minal company, stated in converse
ton with an ARGUS representative
Yesterday afternoon, relative to the
operations the company seeks to I'M
dertake in track connections on First
avenue near the foot of Seventeenth
street, that the blue prints showing
| the location of the proposed tracks
are somewhat misleading, not, as Mr..
Blair maintains, in misrepresenting
the rights acquired by ordinance, bur
as indicating that the desired track is
| to be further north than it is really de-
sired to locate it. Mr.. Blair insists
that it is far from his inten-
tions to seek rights on the
levee once rejected by the
council, and that the switch would
| barely cut the corner of the brick in
ltersections of Seventeenth street.
Mr.. Blair also declares his purpose
to carry out in good faith everything
he has agreed to in the matter of
sewer extensions not already made,
and that beyond thst he will do
1 nothing without specific understand
ing with the mayor and street and
/ alley committee, although he stoutly
/ maintaines that he has right to re-
sumo operations next Sunday morn
ing if he felt so disposed. Mr.. Blair
bases his authority to make the con-
nection on First avenue by ordinance
by authority of the council and by
sanction of the state railroad and
warehouse commission.
The matter is one that demands the
most scrupulous consideration on the
part of the city, and no encroach-
ments upon the newly constructed
levee should be countenanced under
any consideration. as the position OF
the council and the people generally
has been fully stated on such propo-
sition. and is understood thoroughly.
The ARGUS believes that in holding to
the position epeatedly outlined of pro-
tecting the river front Mr.. Blair will
be denied none of the rights that be-
long to him. But those in authority
| should bear in mind that there is n
responsibility resting upon them in
handling the case.
| There was little stir in the vicini-
ty of Forty-sixth street yesterday af-
ternoon over the impression that the
Terminal company was planning an
other coup in that neighborhood, but
| it proved false alarm upon investi-
/ CATION The fact that Mr.. Blair 5
moves are so closely watched is mere
lily compliment to his shrewdness
of which as railroad promoter he
4 should teel very proud.

Forecast for Alabama
POLICE COURT

The law-breaking portion of Birming- hams population, while not exactly in the throes of reform movement, might yet be said to have tumbled to themselves, and are behaving quite well in the interim be- ly hurt. Williams cut him on the head vent of the latter will no doubt be heralded by all of the "thirsty brigade" with the last tank up of the year, ito be sorry for it and swear off the next day. So many of the ''bad" citizezns of the town were in- capacitated Christmas day either by being slashed in some way or shot, that there may be dearth of accidents" on the day that ushers out the old year and on the one that ushers in the new.
 However, the authorities do not despond, and Chancellor Meade does not loose sleep over the matter. With a few more such "reapngs" as was realized from the dock ct last Tuesday, the citizens may soon look for a new city hall and new police sta tion.
 Yesterday the docket short and un- interesting George Holbrooke was up charged with yielding a shovel, the sharp part of which connected with the eranium of Maurice Long, much to the latter's det- riment. The price of shovel welding in this court is $l00, augmented by six months in jail, and George got the limit.
 J. F. Richardson had a quantity of whis- key stolen from him. and Israel Lewis was charged with the theft. Israers tongue is not as useful to him as his hands, for he could not by any argument persuade His soner that it was not he that "took de H. 1,o the costs in the case.
 Anderson St. Clair and William Lewis are two diminutive pckininnes. They were be- fore the throne for stealing scrap iron from the Sloss company Wednesday night. An derson is years old and his eyes, which are nearly all white, stand out so promi- nently on his forehead that they might be brushed off He and his older chum trem- bled before Hissoner, Anderson wearing d wool cap easily capable of holding barrel of potatoes. They could not deny their guilt being caught red-handed in the act, and were impartially charged up with $5 each. They will remain in jail.
 George McColley stole pair of gloves from E. M. Haggard, no other booty being within reach, and on account of his tender years was released on payment of g. 50.
 Monroe Phillips, George Stringer and Butler Williams all assaulted each other, though Stringer was the only one severe tween Christmas and New Year. The ad- and cheek But then Williams was not caught, and in this world, possession is a big item. Consequently those who were corralled were levied on. Stringer came in for a $20 fine and thirty days at hard labor and Phillips was taxed for s5.
 Many minor cases were disposed of, most of them being for disordery conduct and for trespassing.
 Captain Meade, the jolly exchequer of the court, has treated himself to stylish suit of clothes, cut in the prevailing fashion, and presents very handsome appearance as he sits behind his desk.

NEGRO PREACHER CLAIMS
 THE POWER OF PROPHECY

A prophet is in the city. G orge Locket a negro preacher and foreteler of future events has been granted permission to pre- dict all manner of things here in Birming- ham. The permit was issued yesterday af- ternoon in the mayors office.
 To reporter who happened to be present at the time, Locket said that he had been preaching the Gospel for four years He explained that he combined in himself the gift of phrenology and the power to foretell the future. When asked for an example of his power, the black prognosticator claimed to have predicted the Spanish-American war He also declared that he had foretold the drowning of a young man in East Lake several years ago. Coming nearer home "the prophet looked up at the ceiling and vowed that in the next seven years that terrible things were in store for the people of Birmingham. Pantcs. famiDes and pesti- fences would be met with at every corner. According to his prognostication all of these horrible disasters would be the result of imperfect religious teachings.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 RUMOR REVIVED
Talk of Extending Its Lines to
 Birmingham.
HAS NO REAL FOUNDATION
Caused by Presence in the City of Off olals of the Construction Depart ment-Mr. Rinearson ofQ. 61 0.
 May Go With c. & A.

Talk of the extension of the Illinois Cen tral railroad into Birmingham was revived yesterday by the presence in the city of Chief Engineer David Sloan of that sys- tenn, accompanied by his private secretary, Mir Iitchfed, and T. M. Orr, the com pany's rght-of-way agent.
 The rumor that the Illinois Central was "sure enough" coming into the city took wings with the arrival of these officials, but needless to say MT. Sloan himself could not enlighten the newspaper report CTS concerning the extension. His pres ence in Birmingham was accounted for according to his own statement, by the fact that his party was merely inspecting the company's line in Alabama, the said line consisting of spur from Brilliant, Ma con county. to Winfield, station on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad, near the Alabama and Mississippi state line.
 That the Illinois Central will ultimately build into Birmingham hardly any one doubts, but it is highly improbable that they will undertake to do so for a few years yet. The company owns a quantity of coal lands in Marion county, from which is mired a good portion of their coal sup ply.

The preacher and "prophet'' declared that he was special messenger from Christ, that he was able to stand interrogations. that he was "rescue child" and enjoyed other special privileges. He expressed the belief that he would be a good deal more successful when he was forty years of age. He is now thirty-nine. If he fails in car rying out Gods word he will be only q "carnal soldier"
 Some of the phophecies uttered by Locket were calculated to freeze the blood The rescue child' declares that heretofore he has only devoted his time to preaching along the "hedges."

James Charlton, general passenger agent of the Chicago & Alton, has tendered his resignation and the fact that President Felton, while with the Queen & Crescent a few years ago was in- timately associated with Mir Rinearson, lends color to the report that he has offer ed the latter the position of general passen- ger agent of his system.
