February I'd. about 8 O'Clock, the house
OF James Crossan, near Hockessin,
was entered and some articles stolen.
Ofossan swore out warrants against
Edward Herbener, a well-known citizen
of Newark, and William Pfeiier, q man
IN his employ, charging them with en-
tering the house, and stealing 500 in
cash and some jewelry. The ground
on which Crossan swore out the war
rant was that man resembling llerbe-
ner had been seen around his place on
the Afternoon of the robbery. Herbe.
ner was arrested Thursday last by
Officer Piprson and taken before Squire
Williamson, at Hockessin. He gave
bond for hearing the next day. Then
the squire ignored the charge and
wished to dismiss Herbeuer, but the
latter demanded trial. Three women
Of Newark who we're called as wit.
nesses, swore that they had spent the
evening on which the robbery occurred
at Mr.. Herbener's house and that he
was present the whole time. Herbener
was dismissed. William Pfeifer, who
was absent at the time Of the robbery
returned to Newark yesterday, and
when he learned there was a warrant
out for him, surrendered TO constable
Mote. He was given a hearing before
Magistrate Mediil at Newark yesterday
morning and was promptly dismissed.
A dog that was acting strangely in
tile yard of the Washington House

BREAKFAST ON DRINK. Coffee Makes Many Dyspeptlcs.

'Coffee and had quite tussle Two years ago was advised by the doctor to quit the use of coffee, for had chron- io case of dyspepsia and serious nervous troubles, which did not yield to treat ment I was so addicted to coffee that it seemed an impossibility to quit, but when I was put on Postum Cereal Food Coffee, there was no trouble in making the change, and today I am a we'll wo- man.
 One of the lady teachers in our public schools was sick and nervous. Ere quently the only thing she took for breakfast was a cup of coffee; I urged her to try leaving of the coffee and use Postum instead. Went so far as to send her sample from my box and give her directions. She now uses nothing but Postum Food Coffee and told me 8 short time ago that she was perfectly we'll.
 It Is easy to make good Postum. once a person become accustomed to it. Put four heaping teaspoons to the pint of water and after 1t comes to a boil, see that from that time on 1t boils fifteen or twenty minutes, then use good cream and you have a drink that would be relished by the Queen. Be sure and put pfeco of butter size of pea in the pot to pre- vent boiling over" Mrs. Lizzie Whitta- ker, Kidder, Mo. Postum is sold by all first class srocers at 15 and 2s cents per package.

BUTCHERS WAIT
 ON THE ALDERMEN
Members of the Union Making No Effort to Further
 Their Plans

The members of the Birmingham Butch CTS Association are at present making no efforts to further their desire to build a new market house. They are awaiting rc- their petition to be allowed to erect such a building before making further plans.
 If the Board of Aldermen grant the as- sociation the privilege asked for, the build ing will be erected on extensive plans and will be in the central part of the city. The association purposes organizing a stock company, which will erect the build ing of brick, giving space for seventy-five stalls.
 When questioned about the matter yes- terday President John J. Patten of the Butchers Association said:
 'The Butchers Association thinks that the space given them in the new city hall entirely too small. We have considered three propositions in regard to the erec- ton of commodious quarters for the meat dealers and vegetable men, but nothing definite has been done in the matter fur ther than the presentation of a petition to the City Council. We are now waiting for action thereon. We want brick build ing erected in the central portion of the city that will serve for years to come, and will suggest that the same to contain room for not less than seventy-fiye stalls. We would, of course, want the same to be under the regulations of the city of Bir- mingham, so that both the trade and the butchers would be protected. Some sug gestions have been made that stock company be formed among the associa- tion to erect and maintain the building, but this has not been decided yet.
 ''The present quarters are under the control of the association, and was erect ed only for temporary use. It has twenty four stalls and is badly crowded"

BOTH CUPS FOR
 BIRMINGHAM Ward and Brown Victors in the Tennis Tournament WIN SINGLES AND DOUBLES Two Handsome trophies VIII Adorn Rooms of the Local Athletic Club. Reception Will Be Given
 Winners on Return.
WIN SINGLES AND DOUBLES

T. Coleman Ward defeated Clarence Angler, Jr, at tennis yesterday afternoon in the challenge match for the champion ship of the South and the cup for singles offered by the Atlanta Athletic Club in the interstate open tournament. Ward and Brown won from Thornton brothers in the challenge match in doubles.
 The two handsome cups will now adorn the trophy room of the Birmingham Athletic Club-one for all time and one for at least another year. The cups for singles is now the personal property of Ward, he having won 1t in two different tournaments. The first time he won was in 1899 Last year he lost to young An gier.
 The challenge match was for three out of five sets. Ward succeeded in winning by scores of 6-1, GA and 6-2. Angler played a hard, fast game, but he could not cope with the brilliant work of Ward. The Atlanta man has not been in form this season, but made winning a difficult matter for Ward.
 Ward and Brown won the doubles from the Thornton brothers, but were forced to bring out all their latent forces. The sets were won by scores of 6-4. e-S. 5-i and 6-3.
 The game was characterized by net smashing by Brown and bobing by the Thorntons. Wards best work was his back-handed plays.
 Both of the Birmingham players will re- turn home today and will be given re- ception by the club during the week.
 The play is told in the following special to the Age-Herald from Atlanta:
 "The Southern Interstate champion ship in doubles was won today by Ward and Brown of Birmingham, last seasons cup winners. who defended the cup against the Thornton Brothers of Att lanta.
 '3The championship cup in singles was won by Ward of Birmingham, who de- feated Angler of Atlanta, formerly the Southern champion in singles

charged up at $50 each to balance the books. He declared that his company could not agree to the 15 cents rate be- cause it's schedule would not then DC equitable. Big concerns would be paying a rate varying from 30 cents down.
 MT. Gray replying to MT. Lynn said at a 15 per cent. rate Birmingham would be paying B 1-S per cent more than Atlanta.
 Referring to the minimum amount, MT. Drennen asked MT. Lynn if he did not think 1t necessary for Birmingham to have as much water per capita as other cities. MT. Lynn replied indirectly by saying that he would be willing to hx the amount according to the average In other cities.
 Mir. Jones moved that the excess be fixed at 221k cents.
 Alderman Gray said that very few per sons would use more than the minimum amount and therefore he considered 1b cents a fair rate.
 MT Lynn again objected, saying that he hoped such arbitrary action would not be taken because the company might re- fuse to negotiate further. The company's s present contract was for twenty years and had stood the test of the courts. He admitted that the object in submitting the present proposition was to secure the right to place meters.
 Saving of 70 Per Gent.
 'T have a proposition" said he, which means a saving of from 10 to TO per cent to 90 per cent of the consumers"
 Gray-An average of SS I-s per cent?
 MT. Lynn-Yes. Now, why stop negoti- ations?
 Gray-Do you mean to say that out or but 10 per cent. of the consumers you must make up this SS 1-S per cent?
 MT. Lynn-we will lose s25,OoO the first year after this contract goes into enect on gross receipts, but we will make 1t up in the reduction of operating expenses guaranteed by the stoppage Of waste.
 MT. Gray then moved in lieu of all motions that the rate be fixed at 20 cents Alderman Jones withdrew his motion. MT Lynn still objected, and the following col loquy ensued;
 MT. Gray-You want to preserve rates where you have meters. You admit that you make more money on water saved by meter than otherwise. Then you want to put in more meters and not reduce rates?
 MT. Lynn-Yes
 The motion fixing the rate at 20 cents was then approved.
 There was some discussion as to rates covering stores but it was announced that they were covered in the domestic sched- ule
 The remaining sections covering street sprlnkling, free water to charities etc., were adopted.
