HORSE IN CISTERN
 CAUSES TROUBLE
Odd Accident to an Old Beast Belonging to a Notrh
 Highlands Darkey

Rufus Wilson, a negro residing on the North Highlands, has one sorre1 horse, age about 20 years, that has been giving him much trouble of late by breaking out of the stable and grazing upon the lawns of the Jonesville residents
 Sometime during Wednesday night the horse got out, and yesterday morning Rufus set about finding him. He searched for his animal for several hours but it could not be found Some one sug- gested that he go look in a deserted cis- tern nearby. thinking probably the horse might have fallen into 1t.
 With but little hope left, Wilson did this. and, much to his surprise, in the bottom of the cistern was his lost animal The negro quickly summoned force of his brethren, and yesterday was spent by them in enlarging the cistern with picks and shovels, and later in the afternoon with aid of ropes and pulleys "Old Jerry" was rescued.
 The animal is a very large one, and 1t is difficult to understand how it could fall through the mouth of the cistern, which was only about two and a half feet in diameter. Luckily the cistern was dry at the time.

 Elected by Popular Vote

 Resolved, That it be the sense of this of the transportation and freight bureau body that the action of this committee be endorsed"

CONTEMPLATION
 IN THE SECOND WARD
City Democratic Executive Committee Cancels Call for Mondays
 Primary and Orders Fees Returned to Bradley and Crit tenden-Protest Against Councils Action Defeated

said he didn't think the action of the mayor and aldermen reflected on the com mittee in the least.
 NJ Rudulph moved that MT. Miller's resolution be adopted.
 Before taking a vote on the question several speeches were made. M. H. Crit tenden, one of the candidates, was first allowed the floor and he said:
 When the original letter from the may or and aldermen was presented to this committee, signed by Clerk Wood, 1 sup posed the letter was in good faith, and I entered the race for alderman in the sec- ond ward. entered the race in good faith, and I thought I could rely on the Mayor and Aldermens' word"
 MT. Crittenden further stated that he would abide by the decision of the conn mittee.
 A. O. Lane addressed the committee in behalf of MT. Linnehan.
 Mir. Newton said that inasmuch as the candidates had already deposited their fees he could Aot see how the committee could get out of holding the election. MT Rudulph said he thought the mem- bers were out of order. The Mayor and Aldermen gave the committee until June 24 to hold this election, and it was not held on or before that date. He thought that as the committee had failed to hold this election on the date set by the board the Mayor and Aldermen were at liberty to proceed with an election to fill the vacancy.
 The question of Mir. Miller's resolution was then put and 1t required two ballots to settle 1t. The first ballot resulted five and five, and the second five to four in favor of it.
 Before the ballot was taken the follow ing resolution was offered by Committee man Abernathy, and was defeated: MT. Abernathy's Resolution. "whereas, On the night of June 5, 1901, the board of Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Birmingham, Alabama, passed the | following resolutions:
 That this board request the city | executive committee to take charge of and hold primary election in the Sec l ond ward for the selection by the people | of an alderman to represent said ward "And whereas Said resolution was car | ried by vote of fourteen to one, and ac- | cordfng to said resolution said committee | has proceeded to follow the instructions | of said request; and
 "Whereas, On the night of the Eth of | June said board of aldermen proceeded to | elect and did elect P. H. Linnehan as al- ! derman to fill the vacancy in said ward, without notice to said executive commit l tee;
 Therefore be 1t resolved, That we, the | city democratic executive committee, de- preciate and condemn the action of said | board. the same being unwise, unjust and | undemocratic."
 Upon motion of MT. Miller the arrange ment committee were instructed to pay back to Messrs. Crittenden and Bradley the $75 which each had deposited as en- trance fees, and after paying the bills in- cured in arranging for the primary to | turn over the balance to MT Linnehan. The meeting then adjourned

THE PRICE OF GAS IS. ID BE REDUCED To a Dollar and a Quarter a
 Thousand AND THEN TO ONE DOLLAR Robert Jemlson Talks of the Work of Improving the Gas Plant and
 Prospects for Lower Rates.
 Street Car Transfers.
AND THEN TO ONE DOLLAR

The first reduction in the price of gas which is to come to the Birmingham con- sumers will be made within the next six months, possibly within three months. This reduction will place the price at SIPS per 1000 feet.
 Within eighteen months or two years at the most the price of gas will be re- duced to $1 per 1000 feet It is rather diff fiicult to estimate the time necessary to make such changes in the plant of the gas company as will allow the latter re- duction. Numerous changes will be nec- essary ana almost an entirely different equipment will be placed in the plant. Until this equipment is placed 1t will be impossible to have dollar gas, accord ing to the statements of Mir. Robert Jemison.
 When seen yesterday Mir. Jemison talked freely regarding the forthcoming reductions in the price of gas and pro- posed changes fin the plant. He stated that the company proposed to add to the present plant a considerable amount of modern machinery. and until this ma chinery is in worfsfng order he will be unable to make the promised and marked reductions.
 Tt is necessary for us to economize," said Mir. Jemison, before we can reduce prices. and we are making every effort to secure this economy so that within a short time we may give the reductions Within six months. and possibly three months, we will have placed enough of our new machinery to enable us to offer gas at s1.25 per thousand. Then, within eighteen months or two years we will be able to offer gas at st per thousand.
 sswe are as anxious to make the reduce tfons as the people are to secure them, and we will use every effort to arrange for the changes before the limit now name is nearly expired.
 Prospecting the issuance of transfers on all divisions of the trolley car lines, I can only say that 1t Is our hope to take the people of the city by surprise and grant them transfers within short time, We certainly will be fir 0 position to do so before the first of January, and may do so at almost any day"
 A meeting of the stockholders and board of directors of the Consolidated Birmingham, Railway Light and Power Company will be held July IS, at which time the questions now unsettled with the company will be arranged.

JIM BROWN BOUND
 OVER FOR TRIAL The St. Clair Negro is Held in
 Birmingham WHERE HE MAY FACE JURY Chancellor Carmichael Hears the Case Tn Prvate-Brown Identified By the Young Woman Whom He
 Assaulted-Fear of Mob.

The preliminary trial of Jim Brown on the charge of criminal assault com mitted at Springville several weeks ago was held yesterday afternoon in the Chancery Court before Chancellor Car michael.
 The trial was private and very few per sons were allowed in the courtroom dur ing the proceedings. The case was called at 2:30 o'clock and was concluded within a short time. The young lady who was assaulted appeared before the chancellor and identified the prisoner as the man who committed the deed.
 Attorney General Charles G. Brown con- ducted the prosecution. The decision of the chancellor was that the prisoner should be remanded to the care of Sheriff Burgin until the grand jury of St. Clair County could meet and investigate the case.
 The negro will be held in the county jail and an effort will be made to have the final trial held here on account of the fear of lynching if the negro is removed to St. Clair County.

There will be no primary election in the Second ward Monday to elect candidate to succeed A. J. Camp. resigned.
 After much debating this decision was reached at the meeting of the Democratic executive committee held last night at the city hall.
 Present at the meeting were chairman John F. Antwine and Committeeman R. J. Kearney, J. B. Dryer by 2. T. Ru- dulph, proxy; W. M. Newton, II. B. Aber- nathy, Tom Baine. Harry L. White, W. K. Rosser, by Nat. L. Miller, proxy; R. oHare and Will Shropshire.
 In the absence of the regular secretary, Fred Williams, Harry l.. White acted as secretary.
 Chairl.san Antwine stated that there were several proxies to be passed upon, and appointed Messrs. Balne, Shropshire and Abernathy a committee to investi- gate and report on proxies. They investi- gated the proxies presented by Messrs. Rudolph and Miller and reported favor ably upon them.
 The secretary then read the following letter from City Clerk H. D. Wool ad- dressed to John r. Antwine, chairman city executive committed:
 q am instructed by Mayor Drennen to inform you that an Alderman was elected at the last meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, held on June 25, 10 succeed MT. A. I. Camp as Alderman in the Sec ond Nard, and that an election in said ward as was heretofore requested need not be held.'
 Upon motion of MT. O'Hare. seconded by Mir. Rudulph. the letter was received and ordered filed.
 Mr. Rudulph was recognized by the chair and stated that, inasmuch as the Board of Mayor and Aldermen had al- ready elected an Alderman In the Second ward 1t was useless for the committee to undertake to do anything. He stated fur ther that there was nothing now to do and 1t would only be child's play to at tempt anything. MT. Rudulph then moved that the meeting adjourn sine die.
 This brought Mir. Abernathy to his feet and in A rather excited tone of voice he said:
 .I think this committee has been treat ed very badly. l would like to know what we are here for anyway? The matter Of electing an alderman in the Second ward was left to us, and after printing tickets' appointing registrars and making other arrangements, they say to us, five days before the day of election, We have de- cided to take this matter out Of your hands and act on 1t ourselves l feel as if we have been ignored in the matter
 MT. MilIer's Resolution.
 Nat L. Miller then offered the following resolution:
 "Whereas, the necessity for holding primary election has ceased to exist; therefore, be 1t
 "Resolved by the city Democratic com mittee, That the primary election called for July be not held" In support of his resolution MT. Miller A

WORTH SEEING TWICE.
The Opera, "Patience," at Lakeview
 the Fad of the Summer Season.

Gilbert and Sullivan, in their long se- ries of phenomenally successful operas always showed great partiality for the male choruses. 'Mikado" has its Defer to the Lord High Executioner," 'Plna- fore" its Give Three Cheers and so on. ''Patience' Is no exception to this rule, for its male choruses are particularly striking "The Dragoon Guards'' and ''When I First Put This Uniform On" are both received with great applause and also afford the Colonel and the Duke excellent opportunities for effective solo work.
 Patience" is an opera well worth sec ing twice or even more times. So many of the light operas produce a pleasing impression, but they are impressions that are merely temporary. Patience" on the other hand is an opera that not only produces a most pleasing effect at the time, but invariably gives one some thing to think over. The sincerest com pliment that has been paid "'Patience'' is the fact that so many amusement lovers in Birmingham have already heard the opera twice or more times this week.
