MORE RAIN IS COMING
TEMPERATURE FELL TO 23 YES
 TERDAY MORNING.
Warmer and Unsettled Weather over Alabama Today--Rivers axe Rising and Flood Warn
 ings Sent Out.

The Southern storm center of Saturday, which caused the general and heavy rains over the South, had moved to the New England coast by yesterday morn ing. causing very high winds over the Northeast As this disturbance moved northward, a high bank of cold air moved in from the Northwest over this region, and, Sunday morning, the Wealth. CT Bureau issued warnings for the cold wave which we felt here yesterday. The temperature here was as low as g yes- terday morning. but. owing to the cloud mess which developed last night, it will hardly be as low as that here this morning. The cloudiness Is due to an- other atmospheric depression developing over Texas, which will very probably cause warmer, unsettled weather over Alabama during today and tonight.
 The recent heavy rains have started quite a rise in the Coosa and Alabama. The local office of the Weather Bureau distributed warnings Sunday for moder- ate flood stages in the upper Coosa and the Alabama. By yesterday morning it was two Feet above danger line at Gadsden; when 1t stood 36 feet at We tumpka, 32.4 feet at Montgomery and 29S at Selma. At 2 D. m yesterday 1t stood at S feet at Wetumpka, Ss.f at Montgomery and SIS at Selma. while 1t was on a stand at Rome and nearly on a stand at Gadsden. It is now expected it may reach 36 or 6 feet here, and 38 or 39 feet at Selma, after which 1t will be- gin to fall, unless the coming rains send 1t higher.

 son & Co. by County
 Board of Revenue.

Pollak against the County for supplies of clothing and provisions. There was some opposition to the bills as they were rendered and the accuracy of somes of the items were questioned After the Board had discussed the bills at length, however. they were finally ap- proved as rendered.
 Tho contract for supplies for the Coun- ty for tho present month was awarded to Messrs M. w. Hudson & Go. There were no other bidders.
 The Board also had under considera- ton the petition of man named swint who claimed that his mule was drowned in creek at a public crossing during the recent high water. Action on this was deferred until the next meeting of the Board.
 The Board decided to investigate the alleged nuisance at the slaughter house. It has been reported that the odors aris- ing from the slaughter .house are some thing awful and the Board will ascertain if the complaint is well founded.
 It was intended to settle at this meet ing the differences between the County and the Seaboari Air Line Railroad over the establishing of a switch north of the city on a public road. It was charged that tho railroad company had estab- lished a switch exactly where the right of way crossed the public road and that 1t had become a menace to travel over the road.

AWARDED 25 CENTS SUIT BROUGHT AoAINsT WEST ERIN UNION TELDaRAPH co.
E. W. Matthews of Mobile Asked Damages for Non-dslivery of Telegram-Cost Divided Be-
 tween Two Parties.

The Western Union Telegraph Company lost damage suit brought by E. w. Matthews in the City Court yesterday. The payment of the damage will hardly embarrass the wealthy corporation, how ever. Judge Sayre decided that Matthews had been damaged to the amount of 25 cents. The defendant. through its attor- ney. Ray Rushton, admitted damage to that amount. although 1t Is possible that if the case had been further pursued the company would have been relieved of the 25 cents damages. a
 The suit was a non-jury case and 1t was the first one called yesterday morn ing by Judge Sayre.
 lending business in Mobile. During the latter part of December he was in Mont gomery. an agent being in charge of his Mobile business. Matthews sent his agent telegram relating to his business. The Western Union returned the telegram un- delivered as the agent was not found al the address given. Matthews thought that his agent had left and employed an other man to go down and take charge of his Mobile affairs. This was done at some expense and he sued the company for the non-delivery of the telegram. II was not shown. however, that the com. pany had been negligent in looking for the agent or that he was at the address given. Judge Sayre therefore found for the plaintiff only for the amount that of the telegram.
 The company will return Matthews iie quarter and it will pay a part of the costs equal to the amount Of the dam. ages. 5 cents. The residue of the court costs will fall upon the plaintiff.

 THEIR CONTENTS. Entrance Gained by Boring Holes Through Floor-when Doors
 Were Opened Goods Were
 Nearly All Gone.

Two suburban stores of Montgomery were entered Sunday night by burglars and almost completely stripped of their contents. Police Chief Gerald believes that an organized gang of negro thieves is working in the suburbs and he has taken steps to effect the capture of the thieves.
 It was reported to police headquarters yesterday morning that the store of w. A. Moxley. at 6S Jeff Davis Avenue. had been robbed Sunday night and that the burglars had used an extraordinary method to gain an adnlittance to the ner of Jeff Davis Avenue and Wilson Street. The location is rather remote from the police district and the thieves worked without interruption.
 An entrance to the store was effected by boring holes through the floor with an augur until a piece of the flooring large enough to permit of the passage through the hole of the body of man. Money was taken from the cash drawer, Groceries and many other articles were taken from the place and the thieves were not disturbed. Nothing was known of the robbery until Mir. Mosely opened his place of business yesterday morning.
 The store of John ". Epperson, at the corner of Proctor and Chandler Streets, Vesuvius. was entered by burglars Sum day night and when 1t was opened by one of the clerks yesterday morning he was amazed to find that nearly all Of the stock of goods which had been lett in the place Saturday night had been moved away. The store was entered through a window. The thieves undoubt- edly had a wagon or cart convenient as the, store was almost completely clear ed of its contents, including thirty pairs of shoes. a large quantity of groceries, cloth and other articles.
 It is believed by policemen that the two stores were robbed ty the same parties and that they are organized for the purpose of paying nightly visits fo suburban stores.

He swore that neither of the negroes were drunk but that the negress was cursinE in such . loud voice that he took both of them to police headquarters.
 A negro who no doubt rejoiced in the euphonious name of Jim Birmingham, went on the stand and swore that he knew nothing of the case except that Reuben Gibson was his friend.
 Louisa Russell offered as mitigation of her sins testimony to, show that she had not moved into Fuiisr'a Alley until last Wednesday. She said Reuben Gibson went to her house early Sunday mora ing. He had a pistol and cursed her continuously until Patrctman Davis came and took him away.

AGED AND POOR.
old Man Will Be Elected from His
 Room Today.

Room Today.
 A dispossession suit brought yesterday in the court of Justice J. l.. Williams brought to light particularly sad case. The suit was brought by Simon Munsky to dispossess an old painter named Foster from a room which the latter had rented from Munsky. Foster has reached that age when he can no longer follow his trade and he has no resources to draw upon. There are no relatives and friends upon whom he can call and the future is altogether gloomy to, him. The room In question is on North Court Street. Foster has been living there but he has been unable to pay the small rent. The first of January Foster could not pay the rent and & similar suit was brought in Justice Williams court.
 Chief Gerald, whose judgement in charity cases Is unerring heard of 1t and went to the court and settled the suit by paying the rent and having the case dismissed. On the first of February. Foster was no more able to pay the rent than he was on the first of January and another suit was brought. The decision was against him and this morning a county deputy will he compelled to put the old man out of Munsky's room.

GENEVA EXTENSION
GRADING coMPLETED, BUT LAY
 ING OF TRACK DELAYED.
It May Be Several Months Before Rails Can Be. Secured-other Interesting News of
 Railroads

Traffic Manager Charles B. Compton oi the Louisville and Nashville spent yes terday in Montgomery, the object of hi' visit being a proposed seance with ths august tribunal up on capitol hill. the Alabama Railroad Commission. s
 A merchant of the city of Talladega Mir. McEiderry, felt that he had a grievance against certain railroads re- sarding the rate on fertilizer. MT Nc. Elderry felt that he and his town were being discriminatcd against. and imme. diately he communicated his supposed grievance into the patient ears of the gentlemen comprising the Railroad Com mission, The Louisville and Nashville being one of the roads interested, MT. Compton came to Montgomery and ap- peared before the Commission yesterday the result of the case being given in another column of The. Advertiser.
 John Ely, Jr, returned yesterday from the Geneva extension of the Louisville and Nashville where he has been one of the assistant engineers. The grading has been completed and Is ready for the track laying gang from Geneva to Graceville, while rail has been laid from Geneva to Blacks Station, distance of eight miles. From Blacks Station to Graceville the distance Is fourteen and one half miles, but from the fact that 1t is difficult to get rail just now track laying will hardly begin for several months yet. MT. Ely leaves this morning for Birmingham where he will be with Assistant Engineer T. O. Harrison of the North and South. Two positions are vacant on the Ala bama Midland division of the Plant Sys- tenn, tho office of cashier or paymaster and the office of stock claim agent.
 To be more explicit the office of cashier was abolished sasne time ago. at the time that the check system superseded the pay car on the Midland. As stated by The Advertiser at the time. Mir. James An- drews, formerly cashier, has been with that road ever since 1t was little nar- row-guage running down. into Montgom- cry County. long before the Plant Sys- tenn absorbed it. Since the abolition of the office of cashier Mir. Andrews has been holding another position on the Mid land, but now this also has been abol- ished and Mir. Andrews is no longer with the Midland. The office of stock claim agent which has been held for a number of years by MT. T. J. Rutiedge has also been abolished and the office concentrat- ed with Roadmaster Palmer's depart ment.
 Both Messrs. Andrews and Rutledge leave most enviable records. In the rail- road and their hosts of friends in Mont gomery wish for them every success pos- sible.
