THE COUNTRY CLUB
 MOST PROSPEROUS
President MiIner and Secretary
 Baugh Reelected.
WCE-PRESIDENT C. EXUM
Walker Percy, Ed Warner, George H. Clark, Ernest DeFuniak, Charles Stillman Board of Governors.
 Remarkable Prosperity

Officers of the Country Club:
 Presidential. K. Milner.
 Vice-Pre President-Culpepper Exum.
 Secretary and Treasurer-Robert II. Baugh.
 Board of Governors-Walker Percy, Ed Warner, Ernest DeFuniak, George H. Clark, Charles Stillman.
 These officers were elected at the annual meeting of the Country Club North Bir- mingham Park, last night.
 President Mlner and Secretary Baugh were simply reelected to the positions they already held Vice-President Exum and the entire board of governors were new selections, except in that the president and secretary, well as vice-president, are ex-officio members of the board.
 President Milner reviewed the business of the club and dealt especially with its present condition. The year had been an ex- ceedingly pleasant one for the club, and it's guests from time to time. great many most enjoyable entertainments had been had throughout the past winter and until late in the summer, when the ab- sence of so many members and of society generally from the city had required temporary suspension of the clubs regular Thursday Nights" which had now been happily resumed. There had been balls and dances and theatricals and musicals for all the members and many smaller affairs arranged by individuals. Thus the club had demonstrated something more than mere usefulness; it was an organiza- ton that had made itself largely essential to society.
 In the matter of business, or more prop erly in the financial sense, President Milner declared the belief that no club yet or ganized in the south had done so well as the Country Club. This club had now a splendid building and ample ground for it's purposes, and virtually it owed no debt Its business was in an exceedingly sats- factory condition. Credit for this was main- ly due he declared amidst applause to the clubs accomplished, alert and popular sec retary, MT. Baugh, who had the clubs in- terests at heart. MT. Baugh they all knew to be a sound business man, a thoroughly capable man of great energy, activity, and courtesy; and in saying that much Presi- dent Milner felt that those facts were widely recognized outside of the Country Club, as well as in it.
 In the selection of the officers there was singular unanimity and good fellowship; and all the members realized that the club had been remarkably fortunate in the se- lections. It is held that the board of gov ernors is exceedingly well qualified for its duties.
 Ways and means for increasing the al ready great attractiveness of the club were discussed, and to that end resolution of- fered by MT. w. H. Kettig was adopted instructing the governors to proceed at once to the construction of a superb bowl Ing alley. This work will be done by the most famous billiard table and bowling manufacturers In America and will cost 5000 to $1500.
 Every promise Is given that the club will be graced by many brilliant society events the coming season.

GROVER CLEVELAND
Again at Work Getting Folk Into
 Trouble

Grover Cleveland is in harness again After his long retirement the old veteran is again in active service and Is exerting all the pull at his command. His injured leg which has kept him under the care of a physician for a long time is much better and he is nearly as strong as ever. Grover Cleveland is engaged in helping his friends along; some into trouble and some out.
 This Grover Cleveland, however, should not be confounded with a statesman of like name who once caught fish at Bug zard's Bay and of later years took up his abode at Princeton, N. J. The Grover Cleveland here referred to is again in public life, and is the big bay horse which pulls one side of the police patrol wagon. Some time ago Grover, who is a noble animal, was driven into ditch and suf- fered a fall from which he received severe injuries in his right front leg. For weeks he has been in veterinary hospital, but he is now able to be on duty again. The animal appeared greatly pleased when he was put back in harness. and evinced his pleasure by several loud neighs.

THE SHR|NERS
 WILL HAVE JOY Received Montgomerians on the Burning Sands Last Night. Will Return the Visit.

The Mystic Shriners held an enthusiastic meeting last night, and before they had been long camped on the sands of the de- sert it was unanimously decided to accept the invitation of Montgomery's citizens and make the journey to the street fair which takes place in that city next week. Gen. Louis V. Clark was elected to act as mar shal of the Birmingham forces in the grand parade which will take place on "Fraternal Day"
 A party of Shrlners from Montgomery, composed of Messrs. Virgin, Warswick and Meertins, camped with their Birmingham brothers last night, and will go home this morning to herald the news of the approach of the caravan from the smoky city.
 "Fraternal Day" at the Montgomery Street Fair will be Thursday, October IS, and all the secret fraternities in Alabama will be represented. It is believed that every Shriner in Birmingham will be in his uniform in the splendid parade, which will be commanded by grand marshal, assist ed by General Clark and others. There is every promise of great joy in Montgomery

FEWER FREIGHT
 CARS WERE MOVED
During the Past September Than in September 1899-Due
 to Lack of Cars.

The Alabama Car Service Associaton's report for the month of September has been published, and shows slight falling off in the number of cars handled that month as compared with the month of September, 1899.
 The report shows that during the month of September 1900, SS,771 cars were handled by the roads in the Alabama Car Service Association as compared with 36.529 cars in September 1899. The decrease was 275S.
 This decrease was partially due to the lack of sufficient number of cars to handle all the business offered. For sometime past there has been shortage of cars in this district, but the roads are adding addi- tional rolling stock and hope to be able to promptly move all business offered.

THE COMMITTEE
 OF THE CITY HALL Will Meet the Several Architects
 This Afternoon. ALL HAVE EQUAL SHOWING The Meeting Called for 9 O'clock This Afternoon, When the Architects
 Will be Heard as Each
 Name is Called
ALL HAVE EQUAL SHOWING

The city hall committee which was called to meet in the council chamber last night for the purpose of considering the plans of the various architects for the new city hall building adjourned until this af- ternoon without taking any definite ac- ton.
 When the committee was called to order by Mayor Drennen 1t was found that sev- eral of the architects had not completed their drawings and could not do so until today. In consideration of this fact it was decided to allow them twenty-four hours longer so that all could have fair chance. This was done at the suggestion of Alder men Moore and Jones.
 The committee will meet at 2 o'clock sharp this afternoon and all the architects have been requested to be present at that time. When the committee has settled down to business all the names of the com peting architects will be written on a slip of paper and these will be placed in hat. The hat will be shaken and a slip will be withdrawn. The architect whose name ap- pears on the slip will be called before the committee and he will explain his plans to the committed This plan will be carried out until every architect has been before the committed The object of this method Is to allow every architect chance to ex- plain his plans when the others are not present.
 After the committee has thoroughly ex- amned the various plans and specifications the award will be made. It is expected that the work will continue the session late into the night

AMUSEMENT IS.

Levi Brothers presented a very laughable Irish farce last night to a large audience at the Auditorium. 'Maloneys Wedding is a good remedy for the blues. People went there to laugh, and they were not dis appointed w. H. St. James as Dan Ma loney said lots of funny things; most of them were new, too. Not that a joke to be funny must be new.
 The boxing bout in the first act between St. James and George E. Lawrence was well done, and altogether the play was amusing and a large audience was well entertained.
 "Maloney's Wedding will be repeated at matinee this afternoon and again tonight. "Zaza.'
 Charles Frohman's Company will present David Belascos greatest play, "Zaza," at the Jefferson Theatre next Wednesday. The play has made a strong impression on the theatre-going public, not only attracting people in crowds to the houses in which it has been presented, but making them feel that there is much heart and sentiment in its scenes and lines. The fact that MT. Belascos name stands for the authorship of the play will be a guarantee of its ex- cellence. No playwright in America has built stronger or more enduring monuments to attest his skill than David Belasco. "The Wife," "The Charity Ball." "The Girl I Left Behind Me-" ''The Heart of Maryland" and now "Zaza," constitute a list of successes of which any playwright would justifably feel proud. It is a re- markable fact: not single night during the entire season run of the piece in the metropolis, did the curtain go up on the play that every last inch of standing room Tn the house was not taken. The New York triumph has been duplicated every where, and it would seem that "Zaza" is destined to crowd theatres as long as it lives. It is strong play. and Charles Frohmans name in connection with .tne production is sufficient guarantee that it is all that theatre-goers could desire.

SMALL COLLISION
Between Louisville & Nashville and
 Southern Trains

A collision occurred between Louisville and Nashville and a Southern Railway freight train at the Twenty-seventh street crossing about o'clock yesterday evening.

The Southern engine was backing with cars and could not be stopped in time to prevent the &C., cident The accident seems to have been unavoidable. No one was hurt, and the only damage was to one Louisville and Nashville car, which was knocked from the track and turned over.

CHARITY PATIENT
Very III in the City Prison Warden's
 Office

Otto Wooley, the young white man who is in the city prison suffering with fever. was in a precarious condition last night In fact his suffering was so intense he had to be moved into the warden's office where he could be better cared for.
 His temperature was 105 degrees at one time, and Dr. Yates, who happened to be passing the office, was called in and min istered to the poor man.
 Wooley is not prisoner, but a charity patient, and the officers are at a loss to know what to do with him.
