NEGRO SHOT BY
 OFFICER MULLIN
Policeman Was Shot at Several
 Times.
ACTED IN SELF DEFENSE
Number of Negroes Gathered Around the Officer and it Lookt d for Awhile as if There Would be
 Trouble

Israel Flournoy, a negro was shot and fatally wounded by Policeman Mullin at an early hour last night. Flournoy was drunk and had fired his pistol off several times frightening a number of persons who were near him. At the time he was go- ing in a westerly direction in Avenue F, and had proceeded far an Nineteenth street when overtaken by the officer When Officer Mullin caught up with Flour noy he caught him by the arm and in- formed him that he was under arrest. In- stantiy the negro turned and drew his pistol and fired two or three times at the officer, whereupon the latter returned the fire, the first ball entering the side and passing through F'lournoy's body. The lat ter fell, but got up again and snapped his pistol four or five times but 1t failed to fire. The officer emptied his pistol, but only three balls took effect the first be- ing pronounced fatal.
 Immediately after the shooting a number of negroes gathered around the officer and the wounded negro, and showed a very ugly disposition, but they attempted no violence. One of them took Flournoy's s pis- tol and went away with it.
 A telephone message was sent to Police headquarters, and Chief Austin and other officers went to the scene of the trouble, taking an ambulance, in which Flournoy was removed to the St. Vincents Hospital, where he was given medical attention. Off, cer Mullin was sent to headquarters, but returned to his beat shortly afterwards.
 A telephone message from St. Vincent s at o'clock this morning stated that Flour noy was then in about the same condition as when first taken there, but the doctors said there was no hope for his recovery. Officer Mullin states that he only fired a Flournoy after he believed his life was in danger and that he did so then to protect himself.

FLORENCE HOTEL
 UNDER NEW LEASE
To Manager R. B. Jones of the Huntsville HoteI-To Be
 Renovated

The Florence Hotel, Birmingham, has been leased for a period of five years from January 1, 1901, to R. S. Jones of the Hunts vile Hotel Huntsville.
 MT. Jones started in the hotel business eleven years ago as clerk in the Bethell House at Columbia, Tenn, where he re- mained for four years. After leaving there he went to Huntsville Ala, where, with his partner. MT. w. R. Steele, he leased the Huntsville Hotel, which was run down and losing money for every one who had ever had the house. He at once became the business manager handling the office and all the business of the house during the five years they were in charge of the property, building it up to be one of the best hotels in the country. During the season of 1897 Messrs. Jones and Steele managed the Hotel Monte Sano in connec ton with the Huntsville Hotel where, through MT. Jones extraordinary hard work and good advertising, they had the largest crowd ever assembled at that fam ous resort.
 The Florence is to be thoroughly over hauled and put in first-class condition, and everything will be put in shape for first class hotel
 Mir. Jones will spend the summer at NIonteagle, Tenn, where he will be con- nected with the Monteagle Hotel. It is his purpose to come to Birmingham to- wards the end of July or in Auugst, to make preliminary arrangements for re- maining here in the winter to permanently reside He will be cordially welcomed to this city, for his reputation as a hotel man and a citizen is well and most favorably known here, many residents of Birmng- ham having been entertained by him at the Huntsville Hotel and at happy Monte Sano
