a meeting of the police and sanita tion committee, which is in charge of the, pris- on and the wardens, was called, and a ses- sion held in the afternoon, at which the city's case was presented. The session was belhand closed doors, but it is understood that Curran was among the witnesses ex- amined, and that he acknowledged to the truth of the accusations, stating that he had been told that it was the only way by which he could hope to build up a practice.
 Gourley Will be Heard
 Warden Gourley will today be given an opportunity to present his side of the case, but just what his defense will be cannot be stated as he refused to make any state ment last night concerning the matter.
 When the investigation is completed the committee will formulate its report and submit the same to meeting of the city council, but what course will be pursued in the meantime cannot be stated as the officials and all parties concerned are very uneommunicative.
 Young Curran came to Birmingham from New York about year ago, and shortly af- ter was admitted to the bar, passing a cred itable examination. He established offices in the Wilson building and enjoyed an ex- eellent reputation. It Is said that he be- came greatly depressed when he learned that the matter would be investigated and immediately determined to leave the city, arranging his departure for today.
 Warden Gourley was elected assistant or night warden of the city prison about two years ago, and only few months ago was advanced by election to the position of chief or day warden, succeeding John Ho- ran. He is a man of family and Is well known in the city.

THE CASE WENT
 AGAINST THE CITY
William M. Land Awarded Five Hundred Dollars Damage-Other News
 of the courts

A case of widespread interest was de- cided by jury in the circuit court of Jeff ferson county yesterday.
 It was the action of William M Land against the mayor and aldermen of Br- mingham in the matter of sending sewage into Valley creek. The jury found a ver- dict for the plaintiff, and fixed the dam age at $500.
 It appears that the plaintiff keeps milk dairy and farm below Elyton, and at the point of plaintiffs property the city caused sewage to empty into Valley creek, which. before, was a constantly flowing stream Of reasonably pure water. The sewage, 1t was alleged, tainted the water, and 1t was further alleged that often amongst the offal were the carcasses of animals and foul and decaying matter.
 The jury's verdict was against the city and the damages were fixed at $500
 The outlet of the entire sewerage system of Bormongham is involved, and there will be an appeal to the supreme court of Ala bama. The enormous storm sewer built nine years ago at great cost :: also in- volved.
 The case decided yesterday is, in a large measure, a test case, and numerous suits have been filed upon the identical manner. The entire drainage system is at stake If the city lose in the supreme court it will have to remedy the evil. But how? Where elsewhere can the sewage be sent except down. the valley through Valley creek. It is matter of momentous mag nitude to Birmingham.
 In the circuit court there was on trial tba case of J. M. Crawford against the Shep ard Lumber company for personal injuries. Plaintiff alleged that while working in a sawmiH a piece of broken steel put one of his eyes out.
 In the same court Isaac Aycock filed a suit against the Robinson Mining company for personal injuries.
 City Court
 In the city count Lewis Davis. a minor. by his next friend, Robert Davis. filed an action against the Central of Georgia rail- road for $5,000 damages for personal ini,, ries alleged to have been incurred in and by the matter of being put off a train.
 In the city court there was being tried the case of the Alabama Brewing companv against H. Bernard, assignee.
 Criminal Court In the criminal court Sam Pledeeu. charged with murder, is on trial. Pledeer is charged with numbering Sam McDanda1 in 1885 There are ninety-three witnesses in attendance, and all juries, except that engaged in the case, have been dismissed for the rest yf this week, it being assumed that the case would take up the time of the court. This is the fourth time the case has been called. The alleged murder oc- cured in the valley of the Cahaba. where the defd man and his alleged slayer were well Known farmers.

APPOLO CLUB
Musicale at Seals Hall Brilliant Sue
 cess

The Apollo club scored a very marked success in a musicale rendered last night at Seals hall. The programme was es- pecially well chosen, and rendered with exceptional dash and brilliancy. It includ- ed two selections from local composers, Miss Daisy Rowley and MT. E. E. Huston which were both received with hearty ap- plause.
 The soloists were Miss Carrie Braum volinist, and Mir Charles c. Washburn, baritone.
 MT. Williams has the orchestra in splen- did form; the selections from ''n Trova- tore,' that formed one number, were play ed with feeling and a technical excel lence that would reflect credit upon a pro- fessional organization. "The Village Or chestra," a humorous piece, made hit, creating hearty laughter, and pleasantly varying the programme.
 Taken as a whole, the programme made a charming evenings entertainment, and was executed without serious flaw.
