AMUSEMENT IS.

There is a pleasing scenic transforma- ton in "The Founders" the new Sea- brooke comic opera to be seen here to- morrow night at the Jefferson Theatre Usually spectacularity is confined to big pantomnes and eXtravaganzas. The change occurs in the second act without lowering the curtain. This is done in ab- solute darkness, but so quietly that the audience never realizes what is occurring until the lights reveal one of the finest stage pictures imaginable. There will be sixty-five people engaged in this produc- ton. Thomas Q. Seabrooke is at the head of the company, which will give the first production in this city of this Casino suc- cess, "The Founders" an adaptation from the French made by Harry B. Smith, which was produced at the home theatre early last spring, where 1t ran for over five months. It is claimed to be the big gest Init" since the Belle of New York and "Ermine" MT. Seabrooke achieved a success in the part of Maginnis Pasha, which he originated.

Ward and Vokes.

Ward and Vokes will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday night.
 They bring a company of forty-three people and a complete scenic dress for the two acts in which the floor walking takes place. It is said that the Ward and Vokes management have eclipsed all their previ- ous efforts along the line of rich dressing, and that the wardrobe of the present offer ing is simply stunning. There is large chorus of pretty girls and such we'll known farce comedy principals as Lucy Daly, Margaret Daly Vokes, The Tuxedo Ladies' Band, Estelle Hughes Bird, Burt Haverly George Sidney and John w. Ear ly There are nearly twenty musical and vaudeville numbers to be offered.
 Of course the style of entertainment is farce comedy. It is a typical Ward and Vokes show. To any one who has ever seen "A Run on the Bank" or 'The Gov ernors'' no more need be said, though 'The Floor Walkers this year is promised to be the most pretentious production of their career. To any one who has never seen d Ward and Vokes entertainment no better advice can be given than to go and see this one. All pretense to reason or sense is abolished, and for two and a half hours you give yourself up to the ridiculous in fiuence which are before you. Speciality follows speciality, song follows song, and novelty permeateS all.

SAYS QUESTION IS
 UP TO BIRMINGHAM
Alderman Moore on Subject of
 Suburban Incorporation
URGES IMMEDIATE ACTION
Thinks it High Time for Birmingham ties to Do Little Meeting Them selves-Refers to the South
 Highlands Deal.

Alderman Moore is out in strong card regarding the incorporation craze, in which he says il is high time for the citizens of Birmingham to take a hand in the pro ceedings. His card follows:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I have noticed for the past two or three months that the suburbs of Birmingham have been agitating and considering the question of incorporation. First, East Lake, then North Birmingham, next come Smith field, Elyton and West End all seeking to be separately incorporated. Not being a resident of either one of the above named places, it might be said that it is no con cern of mine what the people of these towns do; but as a citizen and representa- tive of Birmingham, l claim the right to speak out on any proposition that might tend to op crate against her interests.
 When you stop to inquire for the reasons of those favoring incorporating these small towns you are answered with the bald, cold-blooded proposition that they propose to incorporate, sell all the bonds they can and sit down and wait for Birmingham to take them in and assume their debt, know ing full well that it will be only few years until Birmingham will take in all this terri tory. It at once appears how Birmingham becomes directly interested in what these towns do.
 As a matter of fact, all these towns ought to have been taken in by Birmingham dur ing the last Legislature. Birmingham is the feeder for them all We had to shoul- der the bonded indebtedness of South High lands to the tune of about $125,00O, and we
  as that. It seems to me that it Is high time for the citizens of Birmingham to take hand in this incorporating business and to go to work to have the present Legislature extend the Birmingham limits so as to take in these towns before they are bonded to death, and let's have Greater Birmng ham," of which we will all feel proud. We ought to act and act quickly in this matter.
 WALTER MOORE, Alderman.

WANT ID ABOLISH
 THE COMMISSION Rumored That a Bill Will be Pre- sented to the Legislature
 Affecting Police

: There is rumor af1oat to the effect that during the present session of the Legisla- ture bill will be introduced to abolish the Birmingham Police Commission. The rumor could not be traced to any authentic source, but the movement to have such a law passed is said to have originated with cer- tain local politicians interested in the com ing race for chief of police.
 It will be remembered that at previous session of the Legislature a similar bill was introduced and caused a bitter fight be- tween two factions who went to Montgom- cry from this city. On -efccount of the bitter opposition at that time the bill failed of passage, and the Police Commission has remained as the governing body of the po- lice department in this city.
 This body has the power of electng the chief of police, and to this certain politi- clans object, so it is said. So to avoid this difficult, according to the rumor, a bill has been framed and is now ready to be presented to the next Legislature to have the Police Commission abolished and let the direction of. the police department and the election of officers rest with the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, as it did some years ago.

POWERS INCREASED
MT. Thompson is Highest Official of
 Southern in the South.

Atlanta, November 9-(Special )-Wher asked to define clearly J. s. B. Thompson's new position, President Spencer of the Southern Railway, who was here today, said:
 "There has been practically no change in Mir Thompson's position with the road save in title. Though known as assistant general superintendent, he has really oc- cupied the position of general agent, which office among the eastern roads is one of great power, and the same is true in this case. MT Thompson will represent the in- terests of the Southern here as it's highest official and all business with the road of whatever character will be transacted through him. His powers have not been In any wise diminished, but on the other hand greatly increased"

SOCIETY CIRCUS
 A GREAT SUCCESS
Best Amateur Performance Ever
 Given in the City
SOME EXCELLENT FEATURES
1t Was "Chip" of the Real Thing With Bit of Vaudeville Thrown In. Splendid Athletic
 Work.

Society was out to see the cireus-not the most stupendous aggregation of tented wonders that the world has ever seen, but the modest 'one-ring performance" by the Birmingham Athletic Club, which proved q most palatable pot pouri of pretty per formances, put on with perfect precision, which means that it was par-excelent.
 It was probably the best amateur per formance ever given in this city, and well merited the large attendance at last nights performance. Notwithstanding it's amateur ish tinge, there was ont hitch in the pro- gramme, and everything worked with smoothness bordering to professional ism
 The peanut vendor and the spieler were in evidence and red lemonade was the only missing attraction necessary to the life of all circuses
 The work of the athletes was remarkable and many professional acrobats have not acquitted themselves well. Professor Miles evidently had his company under training for some time from the snap and promptness shown in every turn
 Dr. Dedman in his legerdemain act was excellent, and with the exception of his musical turn with MT. Blackman, proba bly made the hit of the evening. MT. Biackman as a burnt cork artist captivated the audience The two clowns, Frank Mor ris and Mike Coolgan, were also good, and deserved the liberal applause they received.
 Professor Washburns Glee Club showed excellent training and entertained the audi ence with several numbers, which were greeted with tremendous applause
 The club swinging by Mrs. Miles, the wife of Professor Miles, the physical di- rector, is worthy of special mention.
 The Society Circus as whole and individ- ually was all that its promoters could hope for. It was highly enjoyable from begin ming to end, and the public should feel grateful to the jolly members of the Bir mngham Athletic Club.

WHISKEY CAUSED
 tr LETCHER'S DEATH
Murder Theory Was Not Sup
 ported by Evidence
WAS KILLED BY THE GAR
Motorman Says He Was Unable to Stop the Car in Time to Prevent the Accdent-Other Cases Be-
 ing Investigated.

An investigation was held by Coroner Paris yesterday concerning the death of George Letcher. who was killed on a trestle near Thomas furnace Saturday night, and it was decided that he was killed by an Ensley street car and that his death was indirectly due to whisky.
 The theory that Letcher was murdered and placed upon the track to hide the crime was not supported by the evidence and it was decided that regular inquest was unnecessary
 There were several witnesses examined among them being Conductor N. W. Will son and Motorman E. K. Edridge, who were in charge of the car that run over the unfortunate man.
 MT. Eldridge testified as follows:
 T was motorman on the Ensley street car No. 102 on the night of November r, 1900. About 745 I was turning the curve just beyond the trestle on the other side of Thomas. The curve in the road threw my light outside of the track, so that at that time I was unable to see anything on the track just before me But as the car came to the straight track and the light was thrown on the track saw a man lying on his breast with his head over one rail and his body between the rails. I was so close to him that with every effort I was unable to stop the car before it struck him. The body was near the middle of the trestle. After passing the trestle I stopped the car and I and the conductor returned and found the body lying below the treste to one side of the track. We found the body Timber, but can't say about it's bleeding. The body smelt strong of spirits and bot tie was broken on the trestle. The man was dead when his body was found"
 The conductor, N Wilson, who lives at Smithfeld, said:
 T was in the white department of the car when I felt the jolt of the car. It ran 90 or 100 feet and stopped. I jerked the door open and the motorman said he had run over a man on the trestle. We both went back to the trestle. I went down underneath it and found the man. He was dead and never moved. 1 took hold of his left arm. It was cold, but his body was perfectly Timber and smelled of whisky, and whisky was on his clothes. The motorman and myself picked him up and brought him to the city on the rear end of the car"
 The coroner says that so far the evidence goes to show that Letcher was drunk and either fell off a preceding car or walked down the trestle and fell down drunk and was run over
 Coroner Paris also investigated the death of two negro men who died at McNally's quarters Sunday at 4:30 D. m.
 One of the negroes, Jesse Jackson, was talking and laughing just before he died. He suddenly began to foam at the mouth and died in a few minutes. His sister thought he had been poisoned, but the cor oner decided that he died from natural causes. He also decided that the other gro died from natural causes.

GROCER ATTEMPTS
 TO END HIS LIFE Driven to Desperation by Love for
 His Wife SOUGHT S0LACE IN DEATH Sent Bullet Into His Breast and Then Begged the Doctor to Save Him. The Act of Edward
 Ford.
SOUGHT SOLACE IN DEATH

Edward Ford, a grocer, lies on the verge suit of his great love for woman and his greater love for money. Feeling that the love ol his wife had been lost to him for ever, he shot himself through the left lung at 300 Fourth avenue yesterday, and his chances of recovery are slight.
 Mrs. Ford had left her husbands roof on account of alleged i'll treatment and had sought shelter in the home of friend who lived with Mrs. Hascall in Fourth avenue. The husband soon found her and with pended knee begged her to come back to his home. His pleadngs were in vain, and in the presence of one of the women who live at the house Ford drew a 44-calibre re-. volver from his pocket and, placing it against his breast, pulled the trigger There was a loud report and the man fell to the floor. When examined it was found that the bullet missed the heart, but ploughed through the upper part of the left lung.
 Ford was in intense pain when Captain Donaldson and Officer McDaniel arrived, little room over the police station, where the wound was dressed by Dr. Yates. The poor fellow begged the doctor to save him, saying that he loved his wife and wanted to live. He was soon sent to St. Vincents Hospital where he now lies in a precarious condition
