Alonzo Elliott Succeeds Tom Baine as Assistant-Big Rush in the Li- cense Department Scenes in
 the Mayors Office

Yesterday was busy day at the City <hall, and although there were few changes among the officials the usual New Year rush" was on in full force, especially in the license department
 The only change of any consequence was in the office of city clerk and auditor, the duties of which office were taken up by H. D. Wood recently elected to succeed Frank v Evans Mir. Woods first official act was to name Alonzo Elliott his assis- tant to succeed Tom Baine, who retired with Mr. Evans.
 In selecting MT. Elliot as his assistant MT. Wood chose from among eleven ap- plicants.
 City Treasurer Eustis was at his post, but as yet has not named a successor to MT. Wood, who was in his office as as- sistant. The familiar faces of Chief Null lin of the fire department, Sanitary h. spector Thomas, and License and Tax Gel leetor Gambill were seen at their respec- tive posts, having been retained in off, flee.
 MT. Evans and MT. Baine were also on hand, and will remain several days mak- ing up their final reports for the year past.
 MT Gambill and his assistants were kept lousy issuing license to the various mer- chants and considerable sum was col Iected.
 Up stairs City Engineer Kendrick and his assistants were hard at work, while the mayor was occupied in attending the wants of his many callers. He began the days business by issuing free license to W. L. Wlite, confederate veteran, and turned several parties out of jail as New Years gift
 The usual crowd of Monday morning yis- iters, chiefly emmisaries from prisoners who had run amuck the police, were on hand, and were each given audience. Matters soon settled down, and except for the rush at the license window, there was little to distinguish the day from "any old day,Y

BODY TERRIBLY MANGLED

A terrible accident occurred at the rock quarries of the Sloss-Shefield Steel and Iron company near North Birmingham at noon yesterday which resulted in the death of R. Spal1e, the superintendent.
 MT. Spake was engaged in looking after the loading of some stone and attempted to pass between two loaded cars, when one of the companys engines, which was handling ''empties, showed the cars together, catch ing him between them and crushing his life out His cries attracted the attention of some of the men employed about the quar- ry, who ran to his assistance, but death resulted almost instantly.
 MT. Spalke had been in the employe of the company for some years, and resided with his family, consisting of a wife and five children, in Twenty-first avenue. He was about 40 years old, and enjoyed the conti- dence and esteem of the officers of the com pany, who have had the remains prepared for burial. The funeral will occur today.

SF+IE PLAYN $


 From start to finish ''Hotel Topsy Turvy' is a recognition of the fact that humanity possesses the faculty of laughter, and that there can't be any harm in furnishing as much material as possible for it's exercise. Moreover, it carries the purpose into ef- feet in such a clean way that 1t thereby naturally increases it's claims to considera- ton. "Hotel Topsy Turvy" has story which is good so far as it goes, or rather so far as any particular attention is likely to be paid to it; as, before the first ao'- is fairly on, it gets mixed up with such a lot of hustling, bustling doings, it's com parative absence, even if not noticed, could not excite much regret. Comedy business, lively incident and merriment in text and action make much of this ratt1ing play, but not all, for there are good songs in it, neat dances, pretty costumes and femi- nine beauty to suit. Then clever lot of sixty people, headed by Eddie F'oy and Josie Dewitt, mingled with it in such a style that the whole combination becomes the very antipodes to dullness. It will be seen at O'Brien's opera house next Thursday. Sale of seats will commence tomorrow morning.

revenue.

The Alabama Supply company was or ganized yesterday, with Gus Colvin, pres.- dent; c. H. Colvin, vice-president and man. ager. and c. c. Jenks, secretary and treas urer, with capital stock of $25 OO0 fully paid up.
 This new company, with liberal capital, succeeds the old Alabama Gas Fixture and Plumbing company which for the past two years ht~~ sheen under the management of Mr. c. H. Colvin. -s4- l--z..-ess had how ever. grown to such proportions that it was found necessary to increase the capital stock by the addition of $2O,O00 of new money in order to keep full pace with the business and progress of Birmingham.
 The new company will not only con- tnue the plumbing and gas fixture busi- ness, but will go into tIhe electrical supply business on an extensive scale. It will deal in electrical fixtures and all manner of electrical supplies on large scale. They will carry a large stock of the most modern fixtures and appliances. The new company will keep in stock all manner of comlbina- ton gas and electrical fixtures and chan deliers from the lowest priced to the hand soonest and most expensive. It will also carry motors, dynamos, and, indeed, every thing which belongs to the modern electri- cal world.
 The new company will continue its office, store house and sales room at 115 North Twenty-first street-the same building which has been occupied for the past year by the Alabama Gas Fixture and Plumbing company. It will occupy all three floors of the building besides having a store room in another part of the city

 POLICE COURT

Those who know a good thing when they see it, selected the police court yesterday morning, with it's comfortable temperature, even though the court garnshments are somewhat sombre and obsolete, not to say unsightly and unsavory-instead of loafing on tho corners outside and consequently there was a fine class of understudies to sit at the feet of this Gamaliel of common sense justice when the portcullis was lower ed and the crowd were permitted to enter.
 Judge Feagin was on hand and ready for business. Sc was Captain Meade. The matinee was not up to the mark; though several males and females did "strut and fret their weary five minutes upon the stage, and then were seen no more;'' the reason for which being their compulsory return to the region from which they came, not having the necessary to liquidate their assessments.i
 Will Walsh, white man, assumed a propbtiatory air purely for the occasion and tried to work 1t, but something caught in the cogs and the wheels wouldn't grind. He was assessed $7.5O. Walsh had been locked up on the charge of disorderly con- duct and required ten men to put him in cell.
 John and Warner Wilborn, brothers-in- fact, as well as brothers in their love for hog flesh, allowed their appetite to master them, and stole a hog. Spare ribs, hog head, pig feet and other swinish delicacies danced before their excited vision until, like old Adam, they fell, and fell hard. Wilborn said another" man had brought the hog to their house to cook, but this statement availed them naught, and they were fined $25 each and sentenced to six months in jail
 Pete Jackson, the sworn enemy of Bill Jenks, was at last before the tribunal of justice. Pete possesses the cunning of the serpent and the elusive faculties of Keller's vanishing lady. Bill Jenks was in court to see his old enemy's suffering. Bill has only lbeen out twelve hours himself The blow oame, and Pete will have to raise $25 in an incredibly short time, or remain in jail Pete was charged with the larceny of a suit of clothes.

"The Little Ministern

At O'Brien's opera house next Friday is to be presented by Charles Frohmans company, "The Little Minister" This is the play adapted from the wel-known novel of the same name. Those who have read the book and have had the pleasure of seeing the play state that Mr. Barrie has made a remarkable and highly enter taining play He has retained many of the strong incidents and introduced all of the peculiar types of character made known in his novel, We sIave received reports that the company presenting the play has been accorded praise of the highest order wher- ever it has been seen. There is a great desire shown sby regular theater- goers to see this performance. This is un-
 doubtedly owing to the fact that the story is popular one. It is pleasant to be able to announce that Mr. Frohman's s efforts to provide a comedy and com- pany of the highest merits will be ap- preciated here. This is shown by 0he nu- merous inquiries already made as to when the sale of sAats will be commenced.

 Greene was engaged on switching below Eighteenth street and mounted a box car to set the brake He grasped the brake wheel and gave it several turns when the chain broke, causing him to lose his bal ance, and fell between the cars. Luckily his body fell outside the track, but one of his feet was caught under the wheels and badly crushed.

NEW BUILDINGS
 ERECTED IN 1899 ConservativeIy Estimated to Have Cost More Than $1,000,-
 00O-Permits Issued.

The growth of Birmingham during the year 1899 is partially reflected in the record of building permits issued by the chief of the fire department.
 During the year permits for building to the amount of $416, ,161 were issued, but it is a matter of common knowledge that in ap- plying for permits contra cters seldom give in more than 50 per cent. of the value of the building, while many buildings are erected without the necessary permit, and hence do not appear on the record.
 These figures. however. show an increase of 15O per cent. over 1S9s when permits to the amount of $17O.OO0 were issued.
 It is conservatively estimated that more '&han $1,oOOOOO was put into Buildings during the year.
