NEWS FROM OVER THE COUNTY SHOWS STORM TO HAVE BEEN LocAL-HUNDRE OF SPAR ROWS BEATEN TO DEATH.

The storm which struck Birmingham Tuesday night about 7:S0 o'clock seems to have been confined to this immediate vicinity Reports received in the city from neighboring towns fail to show heavy rain or hail.
 The damage was confined to the Birm- ingham district, and as far as is known the crops and fruit trees were not dam aged anywhere outside of this immediate vicinity. The amount of damage to the district will probably amount to nearly s1O.o0O, most of which will be from houses and chimneys blown down.
 The damage done the fruit and crops in the district will amount to several hundred dollars. Hundreds of trees were blown down, many of them being fruit trees.
 One of the queer features of the storm was the number of birds killed. In some places in the direct track of the storm hundreds of English sparrows were beaten to death by the hall, and yester- them up to make pies.
 Serious damage was done to windows in churches in the path of the storm. In several the large colored glass windows were cracked by the hail, and will have to be replaced. Among the churches dam aged were the South Highland Presby- terian church, the .Southside Baptist church, the German Friedenskirche church at Avenue. and Twenty-first

OUTFIT PURCHASED FROM BURK. HALTER 6 CO.-STREET SPRINK- LING IS NOW ALSO UNDER THE CITYS SUPERVISION.

The city will today begin sprinklng the streets on it's own account and will also undertake to successfully remove its own garbage. Both the removal of garbage and the sprinkling has heretofore been done by contract
 Under the resolution adopted at the last meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, called to consider these questions it was decided to buy the out fits of the present contractors or so much thereof as might be necessary, and for the city to do it's own work A com mittee consisting of Aldermen Gray, Kerr and Copeland Jr., had previously been appointed to confer with Burkhalter & Co.,, who had the contract for removing garbage, and John McCarty, who has been doing the sprinkling, with a view of agreeing on a price for the outfits. This committee met and conferred with the contractors and the result was the mak- ing of a report by them to the Board of Aldermen, which was adopted, that the city purchase 30 mules and 12 two horse wagons, five one horse wagons, besides harness from Burkhalter & Co.,, at a cost of $5000 and two watering carts and one standpipe from John McCarty at cost

and analysis of the water. The matter was discussed in general terms, but the question as to whether the water company would begin work on a Alteration plant within thirty days from the passage of the Gray resolution was touched on very slightly.
 The question of recent ordinances pass ed in regard to street sprinkling was dis cussed as was the rate charged the city for sprinkling purposes. The present rate Is 15 cents a thousand gallons and this is considered too high. MT. Purdy stated to Mayor Drennen that he would take this matter under consideration and make a proposition to the city.
 Mr. Purdy also said that he had been impressed and surprised at the amount of water wasted in Birmingham, which, &C., eording to the figures and records of the company is quite large. The meeting ad- journed to no definite time. MT. Purdy and MT. Lynn will be in the city for some time and the two experts will arrive to- day.
 MT. Fuller is one of the experts who ex- amined the water supply of Cincinnati and on whose report that city expended six millions of dollars in improving it's water plant. MT. Benzenburg was a mem- Der of the Cincinnati Water Commission and took part in the work of installing the new plant.

 An officer of one of the carpenters 1o- calls said last night: T do not think the strike. If there Is to be a strike, will last long. The contractors will come to our terms. am very certain of that"
 Carpenters get strike benefits from the brotherhood at the rate of s7 for married men and $5 for single men.
 The last carpenters strike here was not quite two years ago. It lasted less than three weeks. Both sides claimed to have won, but 1t was generally said at the time that the strikers were victor ious. They had been working ten hours a day for $2 .5O The demand was for a nine-hour day at 90 cents an hour. They got their nine-hour scale, and 1t has been in effect ever since

of $4O0, making total cost to the city of $5400 for the outfit.
 The purchase of the carts and the selec- tion of the mules was left to the commit tee composed of the three aldermen, with the addition of Street Commissioner Me- Garth and Dr. Gibson, the veterinary surgeon. Under the terms of the contract with Burkhalter & Co., the city had the right to select 30 mules from Burkhalters s outfit of 90 mules. The committee went to the contractors stables yesterday and had the 90 mules trotted out and put through their paces and selected 30 of the best in the lot Thus the city begins work with 30 as good mules as can be had In the city.
 These mules and the wagons will be stabled at the city stable on Seventh $125O month to run the sprinklers and garbage wagons, the extra cost being ne- cessitated by the employment of r extra drivers and the feeding of the 30 mules.
 The city previously owned one water ing cart and with the two just bought 1t will have three effective carts with which to fight the dust devil. The policy of Street Commissioner McCartin will be to keep the three carts working to their utmost capacity and to only sprinkle such streets as can be effectively sprinked with this number of machines. These streets will be in the business section and no residence street will be sprinkled. As the demand grows for street sprinkling new carts will be bought and additional territory covered.

SALT PORK NOW
 ON THE DECLINE
NO CHANGE IN PRICE OF DRESSED BEEF FOR THE PAST THREE WEEkS-FEATURE OF PRO- DUcE MARKET.

A decline of 71a points in the packers quotations of salt pork was the only feat ure of the provisions market yesterday. There was a slight break in pork on the 22d of April but the market recovered the next day and the only changes since were upward.
 Lard started out on the first of April at a 1O5sc basis and 1t is now on lie basis. Salt ribs and bellies were 9.S2 April and yesterday they were 10c.
 There has been no change in the price of dressed beef for nearly three weeks. Much has been said about promises of the trust to reduce the price, but retail dealers here have seen no signs of any thing of the sort.
 Market men report falling off in their trade. They have not advanced in the same ratio that the packers have, hence their profits this year will be considerably reduced. One market man said that high beef meant a loss to him of not less than 5000. T lose" he remarked, 'by having to sell on closer margins and by custom CTS buying less on account of high prices"
 There has been no advance in flour for a week.
 The produce market was active yester- day Chickens were good sellers at un- charged prices. The supply of eggs was in excess of the demand, but Morris ave- nue prices were maintained. The market will be glutted with eggs today and the quotations may be down a cent, although commission merchants have agreed to 2 hold them up if possible. Eggs were be- ing received last evening from every di- rection. The glut will be only temporary.
 Strawberrieshwere down 15c crate, making the quart price less than 10c. Cullman will begin shipping next week. The crop is said to be larger than ever before.

Device for Lowering Baskets.

The Erswell Company has just received casket-lowering device, made for the purpose of lowering caskets into the grave without the services of pall-bearers and without the use of straps. This device, like everything the Erswell Company buys, is the best made. A tasty rug cov- CTS the ground around the grave, and it has folds which extend down to the box. concealing the earth. The device sits over this and gently lowers the casket to it's final resting place without the assistance of pall-bearers. There are but few of these devices in the South, and the Frs well Company deserves credit for its en- terprise. '"
