MUST NOT BLOCK
 RAILROAD CROSSING
WatChman Fined for Allowing
 Train to Stand on Street
LONGER THAN FIVE MINUTES
Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse, Says Judge Feagin When the De- fendant is Brought Before
 Him for Trial

Yesterday in the Inferior Criminal Court Judge Feagin heard the case of ". A East man. the aged fagman of the Louisville an Nashville Railroad, who is stationed on the crossing at Eighteenth street and Powell avenue, charged with obstructing the street for a longer period than five minutes. It is said that Eastman kept the crossing blocked for seventeen minutes on the night of August 1, and he was arrested by Officers Mcknight and Eagan.
 The defendant pleaded ignorance of the law, and further stated that he had no control over the officials of the road. The Judge pointed out to him the fact that his ignorance did not excuse him. and that he, the engineer, or any one else in charge of a train at the time the crossing was blocked was responsible to the law. Judge Feagin also reminded the fagman of the time crossing and was unable to cross within the specified five minutes.
 He had reminded the fagman that the anair must not occur again and had re- ceived his promise that 1t would not. East man was unable to recall the incident. His honor further reminded him that he had on that occasion spoken to the engineer of the matter, and told him that he should have arrested Eastman, but the engineer replied that he could not agree with him on that point. on another occasion the Judge S buggy had been compelled to wait, and Eastman volunteered to hold the horse, eut the Judge had told him that he did not want to risk his doing it. Eastman's mem- ory still slumbered.
 Judge Feagin then proceeded to enlighten him regarding the law. If it was not for your age and the fact that I have pri- vate grievance against you would fine you $50, but under the circumstance I will only fine you the nominal sum of $1''
 The fine was paid and the incident closed

AN OLD LANDMARK
 WILL BE TORN AWAY
To Make Room for a Handsome
 New Hotel Structure.
WORK WILL BEGIN MONDAY
Contract for Removing the Old First Methodist Church Has Been Awarded-Hotel Hillman to
 be Built At Once

The old Methodist church building at Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street will be torn down and removed next week, work on it's demolition beginning Monday. The contract for this work has been awarded to A. Stockmar. and under the terms of the contract he is to have the ground cleared and ready for the construction of the mag nificent Hotel Hillman within thirty days.
 The old Methodist church edifice is one of the historic buildings of Birmingham. It was erected when Birmingham was a mere village, and was intended to accommodate about four hundred persons, which was at that time considered a large membership for any church in the state. The building cost about $lS,0OO, and when first erected was perhaps the handsomest church prop erty in North Alabama, if not in the state It was used for a number of years by the First Methodist church, and later, after the completion of the handsome structure at Sixth avenue and Nineteenth. two blocks away by the Young Mems Christian Asso- citation.
 The tearing away of the old building that has grown so familiar to the eyes of Bir mingham people will change the appear ance of that portion of the city and will, perhaps, force the city fathers to tear away the equally as unsightly City Hall, a cross the street. and erect there instead a modern public building, one in keeping with the progressive city whose seat of government 1t is.
 As son as the ground is cleared of the materials of which the church ediffice is built workmen will begin on the construo- ton of the Hotel Hillman, a modern six story hotel building, with imposing archi- lecture and beautiful finish.

The thirtieth successive performance of the Elite Opera Company will take place tonight at Lakeview with a farewell rendi- fion of "Mikado."

 'Mikado' during the week just closing has been a record of phenomenal success, Hast nights audience having shown no de- crease over the crowds that came early in the week. Tonight's audience, it is thought, will be the largest Saturday night crowd that has been out this season.

 The female chorus also has good oppor- funity for effective singing and pretty stage pictures in the entrance of the %Three Little Maids" "Mikado' is one of the most picturesque of operas.
