An, AHectionate Tribute.

The following additional particulars concerning pr. Morris have been kindly furnished to the Age-Herald by one of his friends:
 "Dr. Morris was stricken only about a week ago. and death has followed so quickly upon the attack of the disease (pneumonia) that his many friends and acquaintances will find 1t hard to realize that they will see him no more.
 "Dr. Morris was born in Hanover Coun- ty, Virginia. thirty-six years ago. and in 1888 settled in Birmingham. where he has since resided and practiced his profess sion.
 During this period of thirteen years he had established. in connection with his brother. Dr. Lewis c. Morris, an ex- tensive and profitable practice and rep utation for learning and ability surpassed by none of his professional brethren.
 ''For several years past he had been making a speciality of the study of dis eases of the nervous system, and intended to make this his fife-work. but death has cut short this ambition of his mature manhood.
 ''Dr. Morris. 2part from mere learning.

AN ADDED FEATURE.
Services of Charles w. Milton, Come dian, Secured for Police Show.

Another attraction has been added to the list already placed on the programme for the police show at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday night. This new at traction will be novel comedy burlesaue by Charles W. Milton one of the best known comedians in the country.
 Mir Milton is a singer, a dancer and a burnt-cork artist who does an act that is startling and pleasing. The officers themselves will do much to assist in mak- ing the performance pleasing. A quartette has been formed to sing. and 1t Is even stated that that excellent bass singer. Captain Weir, will contribute to make the entertainment a success.
 With all the local talent added to the work of Miss Eugene Livingston Tucker a most excellent performance is sure to re- suit A recent criticism speaks of Miss Fuckers work as follows:
 As an eIocutonist Miss Tucker is ex- cellent, and her selections gave full play to her powers of expression. Her anil mated description of the race was superb. As an exceptional bit of character work, tne mlikIndlu ueSeTFeS Specldi cOIlIlcIud- tion and the Defense of the Georgia Cracker was of rare merit. It Is not. too much to say that her impersonation of the old. negro nanny was incomparably the best thing of the kind we have ever seen. It was real and true. So often those who attempt such delineations burlesqne rather than. give faithful portrayal of the character. Miss Fuckers was the de- lineation of a true student of the negro character. and as the familiar intonations fell from her lips, some times in words of humor, again in pathos and once again in the well known negro melodies, it all seemed so real. was so true to life, that we almost forgot that behind the black face was the face of a, charming young woman who was just making believe and taking us back so happily to the days of long ago.
 Tickets are now on sale for the perfor- nance.

BUILD IN TWENTIETH STREET
 COLLAPSES AND BURIES PAWN SHOP
Office of Justice Bennars Was
 Also Smashed
RESULT OF EXCAVATIONS
Men Were Attempting to Support Wall With Pillars When the Structure Came Down With a Crash-No
 One Seriously Injured.

Without the slightest warning the little two-story building at 116 Twentieth street collapsed yesterday afternoon. complete ly demollshing the store occupied by the Birmingham Loan Company and destroy ing tho office of Justice of the Peace Benners and Cary's sign painting shop and is valued at s5O00.
 The destruction of the building was the result of the excavations made under the south wall by the men at work on the foundation of the new bank building to be erected on the corner of First alley.
 The Birmingham Loan Company carried q stock worth about $25 600, but succeeded in saving all of 1t with the exception of about s1000 worth of jewelry and fire arms. The office of Justice Benners or the second floor is totally wrecked, and he will probably lose all his office fixtures amounting to about $50 The loss to the sign painting shop is nominal.
 Though there were several persons on the collapse. no one was seriously injured. A negro girl passing along the sidewalk was struck by falling brick, but her injuries are not serious.
 Whole Party Escaped.
 f.I1 a, was in the office of Judge Benners, 1t is said, for the purpose of swearing out a warrant. Constable Holcomh and Deputy Sheriff Reeves were also in the office, and when the first sound of breaking tim bers were heard the entire party ran fer the stairway leading to Twentieth street. All reached the sidewalk safely and 1t was discovered that during the excite ment Justice Benners had never released his hold on the pen with which he was writing.
 T. J. Lynn, who was in charge of the excavating work for Garthwait, and Com pany, contractors, said that his men had gone under the wall and were erecting new pillars to help support the building which collapsed. They had about propped the wall in several places when the cen ter gave way with crash. His men heard the first sound of the cracking building and succeeded in getting away safely.
 The show windows of the Loan Com pany were filled with diamonds and fine watches, and when the upper floor crashed down upon them the Jewelfy was thrown to the sidewalk and covered with several tons of brick and mortar The proprietor and his several clerks went to work with a will, and by searching close Iy among the debris succeeded in recov- ering nearly all the lost gems. The three ball sign was broken in twain and the halves thrown thirty feet apart
 Chief of Police Austin said last night that MT. Pearson, who owned the fallen building, is out of the city and the exact amount of his loss could not be ascer- tained.

possessed a combination of qualities which made him q physician by nature. He had a subtle and powerful mind and an instinctive sympathy which enabled him to see into the thoughts and feelings of others.
 He had a certain large mindedness which enabled him to see all sides of a question and which kept him from being narrow or intolerant. He was kindly and sympathetic and wise. Sensible and frank with men, gentle with women and tender with children, he possessed the unlimited confidence of those to whom he ministered.
 There are many persons in this city, including him who pens these poor, in- sufficient words. who feel that they have sustained an irreparable loss in the death of this, their kind friend and physician, and who are weeping tears of deep per sonal affiiction as 1t is borne upon them that he Is no more"

SWlTCHMEN STRIKE.
Causes Tie-up of Freight Trains, Al
 fecting Eight Roads.

Louisville. Ky, September 21. A strike of forty switchmen employed by the Kentucky and Indiana Bridge Com pany, across the Ohio river here, has caused a tie-up of freight trains, which affects eight roads more or less seri- ously.
 About thii teen hundred freight cars are side-tracked at New Albany and Youngstown, this city, and not a wheel has turned since o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. Engines with steam up and their engineers and firemen compla- gently smoking their pipes are to be seen by the dozens at Youngstown and at the Kentucky and Indiana terminals of the bridge.
 The strikers complaint Is that they are not being paid sufficient wages.
 The roads which are directly affected by the strike are the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern. the Monon and the South ern. The Monon Is diverting it's freight across the Fourteenth street bridge.
 Others which are affected indirectly are the Louisville and Nashville stock trains, the Louisville, Henderson and St. Louis freight. the Illinois Central fyeights and some of the freishts of the Big Four and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroads.
 Grand Master Hawley of the National 0witchmen's Union is in the city today to look after the strike.
 The bridge company is trying to get switchmen from Chicago.
