PLAN FOR CITY HALL
 GROWS IN FAVOR
Old Building Dangerous and
 Not Large Enough.
CITY OFFICES ARE CROWDED
Market Rents Amount to $5,OOO Yearly and Would Pay For Building Money Could Be Borrowed
 For 6 Per Cent.

Mayor Evans plan for building new growing in favor, and may yet be put into execution.
 It has long been known that the old city hall building is a menace to all govern ment attaches whose offices are located in it. The foundation is defective, and the front wall has sunk down until 1t is plainly perceptible. In the back wall are huge cracks which threaten a collapse at any time. The structure has been condemned by several architects.
 "Besdes," said Mayor Evans, "the city needs more room The offices of the city physician and the city attorney should both be located in the building. There Is need for a new and more roomy council chamber. The present one is crowded, and if the Greater Birmingham bill passes 1t will be entirely too small, for eight more aldermen must be accommodated The city engineer needs more room for his maps, and the mayor needs two offices instead of one. My idea would be to have three story struc- ture with probably parlor market on the first floor the offices in the second and the council chamber in the third floor. There is no need for a very large or handsome building. Make it neat and ornamental, with an elevator and modern conveniences" Market Will Pay First The mayor contends that the cost of the building should not be over $50,000 at the outside and it might be possible to erect neat structure for s25 5,Oo0. The revenue from the city market, according to the last re- port of the market committee of the city council, is more than 5000 per annum. He says that the money to erect the building can be borrowed for 6 per cent. without a bond issue The notes of the city can be given and the annual proceeds of the mar ket can be devoted to the debt. There will be no bond issue and the citizens would not be taxed to pay the bill.
 The building of new city hall would not interfere with the present market house or the fire department.
 City Jail Needed
 In the new charter the city is empowered to mortgage its property for improvements. A new city jail is almost absolute neces- sity and it is probable that some property may be mortgaged for this purpose. The city owns a lot 50x140 feet right in the heart of the city on which its buildings are now located.

TWO VIEWS ON
 DISPENSARY BILL pr. Kelly Much Encouraged Over Result in Senate. WILL NOT PASS THE HOUSE Is the Opinion of H. Barnard, a Promi- nent Liquor Man-Senate's Action
 is the Result of Forced
 Enthusiasm.
WILL NOT PASS THE HOUSE

'The news from Montgomery is most en- couraging," said Rev. G. c. Kelly, pastor of the First Methodist church, and of one of the most earnest workers In the country in behalf of the dispensary bill. And the most gratifying part of it is that it passed by such an overwhelming vote. We must carry on the fight now even more vigorously than we have in the past, for the house is yet to be carried. But with public senti- ment behind us, as it is, and with the in- dorsement which the bill has received from all portions of the state, I don't see how the representatives in the lower house of the legislature can fail to pass the ~-.l. From what I understand, however, the house will be harder to cal than the sen- ate has been.
 "As l said before, feel most highly en- couraged, and we can now proceed with the work with renewed vigor."
 MT. Barnard's View
 q believe that the dispensary bill passed the senate more on account of the forced enthusiasm of the comparatively few who are backing the movement than through any real public sentiment" said H. Bar nerd, one of the most prominent liquor dealers in the city. "I believe that the real public sentiment in the state is in favor of a restricted and legitimate sale of liquor by private citizens, and not through the agency of the state. Good laws regulating and con- trolling the liquor business can be passed and enforced.
 tI feel absolutely sure. however, that the house will kill the bill just as soon as it gets a chance to vote on it. am indeed surprised that the senate vote was so over whelming, and I have every reason to be- lieve that the vote of the house will be on the other extreme. I am going down to Montgomery in the morning. and I suppose there will be numerous other men there who are interested in defeating the bill. They will not all be liquor dealers, either" "

CITY WILL FUND
 PART OF DEBT
S269,462 Which Has Accrued
 Under Steiner Plan.
BILL NOW BEING PREPARED
Which Will Be Sent to Legislature Majority of Bonds Are Optional With the Holder-Cannot Be
 Funded Without Agreement.

At the next meeting of the board of alder men a bill which practically means the funding of portion of the city debt will be presented for ratification If approved it will then be presented to the legislature. This bill will empower the city to issue bonds to fund the coupon debt of $269 462 which falls due on July 15, 1900. It is purely an interest debt contracted under what is commonly termed the Steiner pan."
 A resolution calling for the framing of the bill was passed at the special meeting of the board Monday, and Mayor Evans is now at work on it.
 It is said that some of the city officials are desirous of funding the entire bonded debt. This is not considered practicable by the financiers because of the fact that a greater part of the bonds are bearing in terest at 5, and per cent, and are op- tional with the holders. It is not thought that the bond holders will care to take 4 per cent. for what they are now getting 5, 6 and per cent. on.
 The City's Debt
 The total bonded debt of the city is at present $1,61O,O00, on which is due an an- nual interest of 5,160. The bonds which the city has the right to retire are divided as follows: $SO,OOO at per cent. after 1900; $25,00O of per cent. bonds.
 All other bonds are optional with the hold CTS and are divided as follows: $65 ,OOO ' per cent; $3OO0O0 per cent. All others are 6 per cent. bonds.

 The "healer'' touched them lively, and when the sun had set, over five hundred souls had run the gauntlet and made safe landing on the restored side of the show. It was an amusing sight to see the sick and disabled fighting and showing their way to get on Schlatter's healing string.

 In a conversation yesterday Schlatter re- marked: Tt is a peculiar fact that so many of the people who have come to me in Bir- mingham were suffering with rheumatism and deafness. In all of my travels I have never seen such large percentage of those two diseases. At least 75 per cent. of the cases have one or the other of these troubles"
 The colored ministers have been to see the 'healer" and offered him the use of any of their churches in which to hold a meeting. He has decided to go to one of the churches on Sunday, February 6, and give a demonstration for the afflicted ex- olusively.

ising looking bunch of ball tossers that
have had considerable experience and
know all about the game The men may
not be In as good form just at present as
thev have enjoyed in the past, but they
have put in several hours Of hard practice
and should give a good account of them
selves. They are very anxious to win,
as It means several good engagements,
and all hands from the Second ward
will keep as busy as possible throughout
the game. The Jersey City team, on the
other hand. has been playing all this sea-
SON and are now in good condition to
handle any aggregation that presents IL
self before them. Manager Vultee OF the
Jersey Citys hope his team will win the
FIRST game under his administration, and
has gotten together the pick of the local
stars. The game will be full of vim and
spirit from the start
Manager Mersheimer of the West New
York Field Club has arranged a return
game for his team for next Sunday with
the Poughkeepsie Club. The West New
Yorks had to work hard to beat the
Pouehkeepsies the last time they played.
The score was tie at the beginning of
the ninth inning The home team had
the most luck and won out. Norton of
the Washington League Clubs staff will
again pitch for the Poughkeepsies.
The Albany Club of the New York State
League will play Hoboken Sunday at the
st. George Cricket Grounds. and If they
are in the same class as the Poughkeepsie

Albany Club includes among its players
several leaguers who are out of the big
class at present Huyler Westervelt will
pitch for Albany.
The Jerseys will play the Brooklyn
Field Club on Sunday at International
Park This is the game that was sched-
uled for last Sunday. The teams are
pretty evenly matched and expect to
struggle for a victory.
The Bostons claim the championship Of
ali thirteen year-old teams Bostons de-
feated the Madisons, who won forfeited
game from the Yales. The Bostons also
challenge the YaIes, Fairmounts, Brass
Buttons, Magnolias and Bilious. They
think they ought to be noticed by these
teams. Address C. Lillis, No. 81 PaMsade

The West Ends would like to hear
from all teams averaging 10 or 20 years
for the Fourth of July or any Sunday
after Uniformed teams preferred. Ad-

scratch competition in each event The
men Will be chosen Immediately after the

line were Of the opinion that A. e.
Kraenzlein would have an easy time In
winning the all round championship, but
have changed their mind since the entry
of J. Fred Powers. Of Notre Dame Coi-
lege and st. Paul's Lyceum A. A. entry
has been received, and a great many are
of the opinion that Powers will not only
make Kraenzlein hustle but will beat
him. 1t is confidently expected that q
new record will be made for the all
round championship. which is now held
by E. H. Clark OF the Boston A. A., with
a percentage of 6.2441z points made in
1897
Besides the all round championship and
the two scratch jumping competitions for
Yale and Harvard there will be athletic
events on the track and field open to all
such talent as Marvel, Holman of the Il.
A. c.. and L. A. Jfrsa will be seem VIM.
C. Blome Of the Maryland A. G. of Balti-
more, is also entered in the 100 yard dash.
In the 440 yard novice a number of Heet
footed youngsters are entered. The ssu
yard run handicap and the mile handicap
should prove very interesting as the cream
of this section is entered. 1t includes such
stars as H. E. Marvel, G. B. Splitter OF
Yale, Garry Fitzgerald Of the Star A. G.,
and the other Yale and Harvard men Will
probably enter in these events. This will

two bicycle events on the programme, a
one mile novice and two mile handicap.
The swimming events will include the
crack swimmers from the N. Y. A. c. and
