sil officers now doing special work. be returned to the force and that in the flu ture when a man for any special serv- ice was wanted, he could be taken from his regular position in the department petition was read from Captain Weir that his hours of duty be changed from all night, to half night and half day, or in other words. from noon until midnight. This petition was not allowed.
 The matter of the Gamewell police sys- tenn was discussed and Chief Austin was instructed to consult with representa- tives of the concern and see what ar engagements could be made for the in- stallation of this system in the new city hall.
 The following was the petition of Cap tain Wier:
 February Il, 1902. To the Honorable Board of Police Com misssioners, for the City of Birming- ham.
 Gentlemen: Your petitioner, the un- dersigned, represents to your honorable body that he has served on the Birming- ham police force for about fifteen years that he has been acting in the capacity of Night Captain for nearly nine years, during which time he has worked con- stantly at night, his hours being from p. m. to a. m.
 Your petitioner further represents that all the other members of the department have always been, and are now, allowed one hour and fifteen minutes in which to go to meals and rest. Your petitioner has never been able to avail himself of this privilege on account of being on duty all night and the responsibility of the department and the good behavior of the city resting to a large extent on his shoulders.
 Your petitioner further represents that these hours for the superior officers were fixed when the department was small. at which time the entire force was work ed on day and night shifts Since that time the hours for the patrolmen have been changed so as to place them on duty from noon until midnight.
 Your petitioner further represents that his health is being impaired by the con stant strain of all night work and in view of all these facts asks that your honorable body change his hours of work so as to give him one-half day to work and half of the night for sleep and recre- ation. making his hours from noon until midnight without reduction of rank or salary. Respectfully,
 VIM. k. WEIR,
 Captain of Police.

Two Buildings to be Fire Proof and to Cost One Hundred and
 Fifty Thousand Dollars
A STEAM HEATING SYSTEM
Railway, Light and. Power Company Has About Matured Plans for
 Expending a Million and Half Dollars.

The car barn and the shops which the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company will erect on the block between Third and Fourth avenues and Tenth and Eleventh streets in the northwestern part of the city will be near fire proof as brick and steel can make them. As stated last week in connection with the report of the stockholders meeting these buildings with their equipment will cost about s150, 900.
 ] he plans for the new structures have been blue printed and the work of con- struction will begin in the spring Each building will be 400 feet long and 140 feet wide The only wood that will be used in the car barn will be the cross ties upon which the rails will be laid tbese ties will be covered with concrete. In the shops six tracks will be laid for cars which will be run in for repairs. There will be a vanishing and drying department a carpenter shop, and ma cline shop and all wifi be equipped and appointed in the most modern and ap- proved style.
 The Railway, Light and Power Com pany is not only reconstructing it's street car lines, doubling the capacity of it's power house and greatly improving its gas plant but it will install a complete system of steam or hot water heating. MT. George H. Davis, general manager and chief engineer. is now at work ma turing his plans for laying pipes through which to convey the steam The cost of introducing this system will be fully $lO0,- GOO. By this modern device large build ings will be more uniformly and more economically heated than ever before and not only so, but the danger from fire will be considerably reduced
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company has mapped out work for the next fifteen months that will cost $1,500,000.

BRILLIANT CONCERT.
Burmelster and Mrs. Guckenberger
 Charm a Very Large Audience.


 The concert by Richard Burmester, piano, and Miss Benjamin Guckenberger, voice, which took place at the Jefferson Theatre last night under the auspices of the Birmingham Choral Society, was a very brilliant affair both in point of artis- tic achievement and in the quality of the audience. Hundreds of cultured peo- pie were present to great the artists and never, perhaps was a more appreciative audience assembled in this city.
 MT. Burmeister played Schumann's F sharp minor sonata, several short pieces by Chopin, a waltz from The Bat" an elegy of his own composition, Grieg' S wedding procession, Lizzt's "Benediction' and Liszts Hungarian Rhapsody No. g. And for an encore he gave something by Mendessohn arranged by Liszt.
 The famous pianist plays with fine poetic sentiment and as a matter of course his execution is musicanly. Virt- uosos more showy have been heard here but not one has surpassed Burmeister in scholarly reading, intellectual force, or tender feeling.
 Mrs. Guckenberger, fresh from her Eastern laurels. received genuine ova- ton. Sne was In perfect form. Her rich alto voice and her artistic attainments were never more remarked. She sang the aria Amour Viens Aides9' from Saint Saens Samson and Delilah in superb style, while her short pieces, Love Me if 1 Live' by Foote and three Gypsy songs by Dvorak were particularly capti- vating. Mrs. Guckenberger had many re- calls and she sang two lovely encore pieces, "Oh, That We Two Might a Mar rying Go," and The Rosary, both by Nevin.
 The programme was of the usual con- cert length but the audience left slowly, as if reluctantly, seeming to indicate that more numbers were not to come.
