Abstract Books Purchased by the
County.

The county commissioners pur-
chased u set of abstract books last
week from Register Kerr and con-
tracted with him to ill in all Omis
sions and make the abstracts COM
plete up TO date. There has been some
comment on the action of the commits
sioners in making this purchase, but
il is clearly legal act and one from
which the public will reap much bene-
fit.
At present it is very costly to get an
abstract and many vacant lots would
not sell for enough to pay the alb
stractcr's fees. Commissioner Wilson
cites a case where an abstract would
books, eighteen in number, were pur-
chased Tor the use of the public and it
is the intention to charge ten cents
per entry, half Of which is to go to the
county and eventually pay for the
books. The ABSTRACT companies, which
are now doing a big business are kick
ing but the public will reap the bene-
fiu.
The purchase of those books has
been under consideration for some
months and every step was duly con-
sidered by the commissioners. AS
soon as MIR. Kerr has completed work
on the books a perfect abstract may
be obtained from them without paying
the twenty-five cents for each transfer
that appears on the books of the alb
Stract companies. The price paid for
the books was $3200.-Commoner.
This is what republicans call pater-
nalism, protecting the peoples pocket
books. If all counties would follow
the example of Sedgewick it would
mean the saving of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to the people. 1t
would also prevent the burning of
court houses to enhance the value of
some mans abstract book. A better
plan than the above is to pass law
making it a part OF the duty of the
register of deeds to ceretify as to the
rightful party to convey title in case
of any transfer of real estate.

Slivinski, the great Polish pianist, who will be heard in conjunction with the celebrated Leipsic Philharmonic Orches- tra, during it's American tournee, includ- ing probably Birmingham, was born in Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 15 1885. He was probably Birmingham, was born in War saw, Poland, December l5, 1865 He was a pupil of Strobl at the Warsaw Conserv- atory, and later he was for about four years with Leschetizky at Vienna. He also spent considerable time under the guidance of Anton Rubinstein at St. Pe- tersburg Slivinski made his first public appearance as virtuoso in 189O His first pronounced success was In May, 1893. in London. The same year Slivinski visited America. His New York debut was on November 30, 1893, at Madison Square concert hall. The chief characteristics of his playing are great strength, endur- ance and brilliancy. He is said to pos sess a remarkable memory also. He Is a master of tevnnic, and he possesses an artistic temperament of an exceptionally high order.
 Slivinski easily ranks with the greatest pianists of the present day.

 AT PRISON BARS Efforts of an Irate Father
 Proved Futile A ROMANCE AND A SEQUEL Will Wear Deaf Mute and Della Brown a Pretty Factory Girl Override PaternaI Objec-
 tion-7ne Story.
A ROMANCE AND A SEQUEL

A runaway marriage in which a deaf mute figured as the prospective groom was successfully blocked by an irate father Saturday night, who through the police department recovered his daugh ter and sent her disappointed lover to jail on the charge of abduction, only to lose her again when the prison bars no longer confined the gallant youth, who was restored to his liberty by Judge Feagin.
 The parties to the romance were Will Wear, young man about 22 years of age, one of a family of five mutes. and Della Brown, comedy girl, whose age is In dispute, both employees of the Avon dale Cotton Mill, near which their fami- lies reside.
 At o'clock Saturday night, MT Brown. the father of the girl, telephoned the police to be on the look out for the couple, who had been missing from home for several hours, giving description of them. About half hour later he came to the city and found that the couple had been arrested by Officer McCullom as they were about to board Bessemer dummy. The father stated that the girl was only about 15 years old, and he pre- ferred charges of abduction against Wear, who was locked up at police head quarters. The latter claims that the girl is IS years old and that they had decided to get married He was greatly disturbed by the unlocked for proceedings and pro- tested against being locked up.
 The girl returned home with her father in obedience to his commands, but 1t was evident that had not paternal respect stood in the way she would have shared the prison cell rather than be separated from the man she loved.
 Early yesterday morning Wears friends called on Judge Feagin and laid the facts before him. It did not take him long to reach a decision, and the young man was released on his own rec onizance.
 Undaunted by the i'll luck that befell him on the previous night, Wear went from the prison to the mill quarters and was soon In communication with the girl, whose faith had not been shaken by the rude experience, but on the contrary had been intensied.
 Just what happened has not come to light, but a short time thereafter, the aid of the police was again invoked 10 discover the whereabouts of the faithful little factory maid, who was again miss ing from her home.

 Arthur knew that his father had been arrested before I reached Atlanta" said Deputy Sheriff Carroll. Somebody jn Bessemer had probably telegra phed him. l had no trouble with him in bringing him here, and only ,hand-cuffed him as a matter of precaution when we got off the train in Birmingham. He did not seem worried about anything except that he was very anxious to see his father" -- . tackled on to it giving the Mayor and AL dermen of Birmingham the power to li- cense or prohibit all street or state fairs and accompanying amusements. The caption of the bill, however, bore no evi- dence of such amendments. Tn this shape the Senate passed the bill. When 1t reached the Governor he disapproved it because he believed that under it's pro- visions pool selling could be licensed.
 Representative Augustus Benners of Jefferson County. who introduced the bill III lue I1OuSt, StdltS llldl lHe lllSl ltO knew of the amendments to the bill was when he saw them in the Governors of flee Saturday afternoon. Nobody seems to know who is responsible for the amendments or just when they were at tached to the original bill. It is stated that the amendments were typewriter and pasted on to the original bill.
 Other Dead Bills.
 The next bill to meet with defeat was one authorizing the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to reassess property for side walk improvements. A few years ago 8 number of sidewalks that had been paved by property owners were torn ur by the city and new pavements put in The cost of the new paving was assessed against the abutting property, but the owners resisted the payment and took the matter into the courts, where they won. The bill passed by the Legislature and vetoed by Governor Sanford author ized the city to reassess these property owners for the amounts claimed for these improvements.
 The last of the bills defeated was the one providing for the sprinkling of the streets of the city The bill prepared and presented to the Legislature provided that the cost of sprnkling the streets should be assessed against property own CTS. This bill was recalled before ii came to a vote in the Senate on account of the strong opposition and other im- portant legislation needed for the city

 It seems that the train stopped at lit tie station to let off passenger, and all the soldiers got of to buy peanuts. When the train started and the roll was called there was one man missing. Whether he ate too many peanuts and was seized with cramps, or was seized with a desire to. desert, Is not known. Peanuts are liable to produce either result, and have had effects on soldiers as well as politi- clans. Incoming trains report that he Is making his way back to Birmingham.

FIRE AT WEST END.
Residence of Charles Colvin Totally
 Destroyed With Contents.

The residence of Charles Colvin, at Hur- ley Station, West End, was totally de- stroyed by fire shortly after noon yester- day. entailing a loss of about 8, 000 which is nearly covered by insurance.
 The fire, which originated from a de- fective fiue In the Kitchen, was discovered at 1915 o'clock and a few minutes later the entire roof collapsed, the fire having burned fiercely between the ceiling and the rafters before 1t was discovered.
 John Evans brother-in-law of MT Colvin, was the first to discover the flames, and although the alarm was given promptly which summoned a number of neighbors, there was only time to save q fine piano.
 The pretty little suburb Is without fire protection, and the house, which was a neat frame structure was sacrificed to the flames.
