 That Charge

About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the police made raid on a private room on the third floor of the Allen building. Tom Moran, K. Westbrook John Ryan and S. l.. Stinson were found in the room and were placed under s1OO bonds with a charge of gaming docketed against them A table was in the center of the room and on it was found poker chips, cards and $4 in sl- yer, all of which was taken in hand by the police
 The arrests were made by Chief Austin and Patroinan Mcknight The officers had suspconed for some time that a game was going on in the building and had waited on the second floor until the men began operating. The chief then slipped up to the room and attempted to look over the transom, but failed to anything. He knocked on the door and as one of the men turned the knob from the inside the officers pushed open the door and rushed in.
 All of the men made bond and were re- leased. The cases will probably come up this morning.

BRIGADE TO CAMP HERE DURING FAIR Adjutant General Brandon lnter- eSted in the Matter. WOULD BE AN ATTRACTION If the Officers of the Various Regiments Favor the Idea the Entire Ma
 tional Guard Will
 Come
WOULD BE AN ATTRACTION

Adjutant General William W. Brandon Is in the city, having arrived last night foc the purpose of consulting with Brigadier General Clark and Colonel Smith as to the adyisability of having the next encamp- ment of the Alabama national guard here.
 This would be particularly desirable to the management of the State Fair, as the encampment will occur during the fair, and will undoubtedly prove great draw ing card.
 Adjutant General Brandon was seen last night at the headquarters of the State Fair, and said:
 q think Birmingham can secure the brigade encampment during the fair, If 1t is agreeable to General Clark and the com- manding officers of the regiments. The purpose of my visit here is to ascertain the sentiment of the Birmingham people and the officers of the brigade.
 .'The boys of the regiments will un- doubtedly be interested, and I think they are all anxious to come here. The state troops are now thoroughly organized and practically equipped In the event that the encampment is held here there Will be, I think, about three thousand men in attendance as members of the organiza- tion.
 .'Inis would make splendid feature of the fair. Sham battles and other military evolutions can be given. and will prove intensely interesting. The management of the fair may add is heartily in favor of the idea and will assist in having it con- summated."

A NEGRO WOMAN
 KILLS HERSELF Georgia Birdsong Found Dead in
 Her Room. NO CAUSE FOR THE CRIME Mystery Surrounds the Affair and Mur- der is Suggested by Some-Cor- oner Investigates and Renders
 a Verdict of Suicide
NO CAUSE FOR THE CRIME

Georgia Birdsong, a young negro woman. was found dead in her room about 400 yards east of Cain Station yesterday af- ternoon. Several negroes standing around the well in the back yard heard a shot in the house and ran in to ascertain the cause of the trouble. Georgia Birdsong was found lying on her right side in the middle of the floor with a stream of blood oozing from her head. 3S-calbre Smith & Wes- son revolver was lying on the floor few feet from the woman's body. In the cylin- der of the weapon an empty cartridge hull was found
 Though none of the negroes knew any reason for the deed, it was evident that the woman had taken her own life. There was some mystery about the affair, how ever and 1t was thought necessary to send for the coroner
 The Coroner Investigates
 MT. Dallas arrived about o'clock and immediately empaneled a jury. The evil dence showed that the woman had been making arrangements to leave for Oxford today and had sold her COW to a merchant in Avondale She was paid S5 and was to receive she balance when the purchaser sent for the animal. This money, together with four silver dollars, was found in the room. Doe" Brdsong the womans hus- band, was in the Southern shops at work when the shooting took place. He was ex- amined by the jury and said that he knew no reason why his wife should have killed herself, as she was going to Oxford today. He had some suspicion about the woman having been murdered but failed to impli- cate any person. The evidence showed that the woman had quarrel with some of the neighbors and had been accused of threatening to blow up one of the houses with dynamite.
 A Strange Feature
 A strange feature in the affair was that though the woman was right-handed. the bullet entered her head from the left side, passing through the brain and coming out on the opposite side.
 NO ulreCl eNluence us 10 Hluruer HdNlHS been committed could be adduced and the jury rendered the following verdict:
 "We the jury empaneled by the coroner of Jefferson county on this the 5th day of September, 1899. to inquire into the cause of the death of Georgia Birdsong, having diligently investigated the case, agree that the deceased came to her death from from 3S-caibre Smith & Wesson revolver And in our opinion said shot was fired by her own hand and was with suicidal in- tent"
 The woman carried a $25 life insurance policy made in favor of her husband.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
INT 0 }TANT BUSINESS TRANSACTED

At meeting of the board Of education last night, among other important business transacted the tuition fec for resident pupils at the Birmingham High school was reduced from s to $2 per month.
 The meeting was held in the office of Superintendent Phillips in the High school building. and was the first regular meeting of the board for several months. Matters pertaining to the opening of the schools were arranged. and other important ques- tions discussed.
 The meeting was called to order by President Ullman with the following members present: Messrs. Gray, Gregg and Steiner, and Superintendent John H. Phil lips. Routine matters were disposed of and other matters taken up.
 The question of raising the salaries of certain teachers who have faithfully served the schools for the Rast seven years or more at the minimum rate paid in their departments was discussed at some length and was finally referred to a special com mittee composed of Messrs. Steiner, Gray and Drennen to consider its advisabiity.
 High School Tuition Question
 The tuition fee in the High school was the next question taken up. and while the board practically favored the abolition of the fee, on account of the- increased ex- penses engendered by the extension of the term and additional teachers, could not see it's way clear. After thorough dIs cussion a motion was offered by MT. Gregg and seconded by MT Gray, reducing the fee from s to $2 per month for resident pupils. The motion unanimously prevailed.
 The committee on instructions, together with the superintendent, was authorized to purchase the necessary supplies for the scholars for the coming session. Supern- tendent Phillips was also empowered to employ special teachers of vocal music, drawing, and physical culture.
 The executive committee was authorized to have lights placed in the basements of the elementary school
 The special committee to examine seats for the proposed primary school buildings on the North and South Highlands was not ready to report and was granted further time.
