A Typographical Error.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Please be so kind as to correct an epfor in my letter of yesterday.
 Under the sub-heading An Analysis the error is found. The third class is as follows: "All honorably discharged American soldiers, regardless of their education or whether they possess prop erty or not" That Is the way 1t should read. The payment of poll tax by these ex-soldiers was not suggested. The only qualification required of them is to be an honorably discharged American soldier The poll tax alluded to in the publication of yesterday in connection with ex-sol- diers should have been in connection with the fourth class, which was omitted in the publication, to-wit;
 A. All descendants of soldiers in the above wars who pay poll tax of s3 for two years next preceding the election.''
 This Is intended for the descendants of soldiers who cannot read and write In other words 1t Is a recognition of a pa- triotic ancestry by allowing their Hitter ate posterity to vote. That is the pur- pose. If these could read and write they could come in with the second class of voters-that is those who can read and write and pay poll tax. etc.
 Very respectfully,

WANT WALL REMOVED.
Board of Aldermen Will Take Legal
 Steps Against E. N. CuIlom.

The fight which for sometime has been brewing between the city and E. N. Gull loni regarding a certain wall which he had constructed about his property in Eleventh street some time ago eliminated last night. A resolution was introduced and passed by the Board of Aldermen instructing the city attorney to take legal steps against MT. Cullom to cause him to remove this wall on certain streets.
 1t is claimed that when improvements were first made on the property of MT. Culom that this wall, extending a num- ber of blocks, was built. Now the pay ing of the sidewalk and street is in pro- gross and in certain districts the wall is found to be an impeachment to progress. MT. Cullom has not removed the wall, and as no agreement could be reached the or dinance last night was introduced to force a removal of the obstacle.
 The ordinance was unanimously passed and Is as follows:
 Be it resolved, by the Mayor and Al dermen of Birmingham, That the city at torney be and is hereby instructed to take such legal steps as he may deem necessary to cause the stone wall and other private improvements which extend into Avenue K between St. Charles street and Eleventh street and into St. Charles street between Avenue and Avenue K to be removed therefrom. Provided how ever. that this resolution shall not inter- fere with the contractor proceeding to finish the work of paving of the street now started.

They called upon him to halt. but he, hearing sounds from an un- expected quarter, though that some of the escaped convicts were hollowing at him. and he became frightened and started to run.
 He was ordered again to stop, and con- tinuing to run, the guards fired upon him. It Is not known who fired the fatal shot.

Selma Wins,

Selma, May 16-(Special.) )-Chattanooga was an easy mark for the Selma club this evening. and they would have been shut out but for wild pitch that Glenn made in the sixth inning when Taylor scored the visitors only run.
 Glenn, Selma's shortstop, went in the box for the home club and pitched ex- cellent game. He received fine support from his club and Chattanooga succeeded in getting but seven hits off of him.
 Clayton, for Chattanooga, pitched a good game, but the Selma men punched their hits when they were needed and got twelve hits off him. Selma started her run making In the first inning Frank led and got base on balls, stole second and scored on Dongley's hit to right field
 Selma made another run in the third and piled up four mere in the fifth on two singles, a sacrifice, one double and a triple. But they were unable to score any more after that.
 Chattanooga was unable to get a man across the plate until the sixth inning, when Taylor went to first on an error by Allen. Leahy got to first on balls and forced Taylor to second. Durrett hit to Allen at short and Leahy went out at second and Durrett at first. Whistler hit safe to center and Taylor reached third and scored on a wild pitch that Glenn made to Clifford. After that Chattanooga went out in one, two, three order.
 In the ninth Whistler opened up with a hit to right. Clifford hit to short and Whistler went out at second. Wentz hit to second and Clifford and Wentz went out ou double play. Taylor and Whistler made a fast double in the sixth. when Glenn hit to third and went out at first and Allen, who went from second, was thrown out by Whistler returning the ball to Taylor.

He sang this gem with fine poetic feeling, and it will be a long elme perhaps before Birmingham is treated again to such musicianly tenor work.
 Miss Kerlin Is a brilliant pianist. Her greatest triumph last night was in the Rubinstein number, "Staeeato Etude." This was played with real virtuosity and was highly enjoyed by MT.

DOLLAR GAS TO BE
 IN BIRMINGHAM
MT. E. N. CuIIom Says It Is a Simple Business Prop
 oSition

"The offer of the Consolidated By-Pro- duct Gas Company to furnish illuminat- ing gas at s1 per thousand feet and fuel gas at 60 cents per thousand feet Is sim ply a business proposition-thats all," said MT. B. N. Cullum yesterday in speaking about the new company.
 "If other cities can furnish gas at s1 per thousand feet, I sne no reason why Birmingham with it's proximity to the coal fields cannot do the same.
 "The Consolidated By-Product Gas Company was incorporated at the last session of the Legislature. It has an au- thorized capital of s10Oo,00O. The peti- tioners for a franchise from the City Council propose turning it over to this company.
 "Mr Caldwell Bradshaw and myself are the only local persons interested in the new company. While the new company has a charter, it's organization has not yet been perfected"

do was to drop fly in Parrott's hands.
 In the fifth Birmingham added one more and tied the score. After Leidy had retired on a foul fly to catcher, Veitch planted one out in left field for two bases and scored on Gettnger's two-bagger to center. LaRocque fyed out to left and Culver struck out.
 Neither side scored again until the ninth when Nashville chalked up three runs and won the game. Long singled and stole second. Kennedy sacrificed him to third and Reitz popped up foul that Culver killed. After saving the air twice Corbett was hit by a pitched ball and took first. "Abbie" hit for two bases and Long and Corbett both scored. Wiseman singled and "Abbie" scored. Fisher sin gled, but he and Wiseman were left on bases by Goodenoughs out to center, Leidy making a magnificent run for the ball.
 The locals tried hard to overcome this lead, and but for a sensational catch back of third by Kennedy a different tale might be told this morning. As 1t was, however. only one man made the circuit and Birmingham lost. With one out, Sullivan, a new man, signed by Manager Mills, was sent in to bat for Wilhelm. He made himself solid with the fans by hitting the ball into right field for a single. Moss followed with a single to the same territory, but Sulli- van was doubled at second on Leidy's fly to short. Veitch pitched out q good one and pushed it into the fence corner in right field for three sacks. He was left on third however, as Gettinger popped up an easy one to second.
