SEWER BOND ISSUE
ISSUE OF 100000 TO BE TAKEN
INTO COURT TO SEE IF 1T is
CONSTITUTIONAL - THE PUR-
cHAsERs ARE CAREFUL.

The board of revenue of Jefferson coun-
ty decided yesterday to have a test case
go into the courts to test the constitution
atty of the state bond law The county
will issue $1,000 worth of sanitary sewer
bonds, but 1t is understood that the New
York people who contemplate buying
them wish to first ascertain if the issue
is constitutional.
The board adopted resolution that the
test case be placed in the hands Of e. j.
Smyer, who will represent the county.
1t is very probable that today bill will
be filed by some taxpayer against the
county, enjoining it from issuing the
bonds The case will be filed in chancery
and then taken to the supreme court.
At the meeting of the board yesterday
morning the following resolution was
adopted.
"That the road supervisor be instructed
to go and examine the public road at
Reeders gap Complaint has been made
that the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road company has damned up the water
on it and it cannot run off, consequently
making the public road impossible In wet
weather and after heavy rains, and II he
finds that such is the case that he notify
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company to put the road in condition so
that the water will run off with out back
ing up on the public road"

PRESIDENT REMOVES
INSPECTOR ROSSON
SAID THAT RossoN WAS IN SYM
PATTY WITH THE LILY WHITE
MOVEMENT AND THAT THIS
CAUSED HIS REMOVAL.

Postoffice Inspector ]. R. Rosson has
been removed from office by Postmaster
General Payne The reasons given for the
removal are said to be that the inspec-
tor was not sufficiently guarded In the
nature of his reports. ana that he has
been inattentive to the duties of his po-
sition.
Inspector Rosson was appointed under
the Cleveland administration, though it
Is said he was heartily in favor Of the
recent movement of the lilly whites" in
Alabama.
Local republicans assert that this is but
another evidence of the disapproval by
the administration of the action Of the
Alabama republicans in throwing the
negro out of party counsels.
A prominent republican said yesterday
that the postoffice department never had
a more faithful official than Mr.. Rosson.
He considered his removal as but an
other step in the efforts of the admins
tration to stamp its unqualified disap-
proval on the new republican movement
in Alabama.

of Montgomery is slated for an early re-

City Has Block on TWBnty-FiSt
Street Covered
JUDGE REVOEES HIS ORDER
Pending the Experiment. the Ropes
Are Removed From Across the
Street BY the Court House.
Asphalt 10 Wanted.

Yesterday morning when the circuit
court convened in the courthouse the
ropes were not stretched across Twen-
ty-frst street at the Third and Fourth
avenue corners as had been done for
some months.
Early yesterday the city street commits
sioner had a large force of men at work
hauling and putting down sand on the
brick street the entire length of the
block. and when Judge Coleman of the
circuit court, who, on account OF the
noise made on the bricks by passing We
hicles and cars issued an order to pre-
vent traffic on this part Of the street dur
ing court hours saw the means the city
had adopted to get around the difficulty.
he was willing to give 1t a trial. and
temporarily rescinded his order to await
the outcome Of the experiment.
The sand was laid on the street to the
depth of about two inches. The cars were
ordered to proceed at a slow rate of
speed and the result was awaited.
The sand solution of the difficulty
proved satisfactory yesterday, especially
as regards vehicles. Passing wagons and
buggies made no noise that in anyway
interfered with the proceedings in the
courts.
The question Is, will the means prove
of practical nature. 1t is thought when
it rains the sand will be washed away
and new supply will have to be put on
the street.
1t is understood, however, that the
city is contemplating removing the brick
pavement and useing asphalt No action
in regard to the asphalt has been taken
by the city council.
The closing of the street costs the
county about 500 month. as two watch
men are employed to see that no ve-
hicles pass under the ropes, or by remov-
ing them, go over the street.

At the BiIou.


The performance of Grace Kimball as
Camille" at the Bijou theatre yesterday
afternoon was one of the strongest pieces
of acting ever seen on a Birmingham
stage. From start to finish there was a
polish and capability which she has not
shown to such a great degree in either
Secret Service" or in "The liars" In
the role she shows degree of character
acting That no one thought her capable
of and in the last act, the death scene,
she rivals Modjeska in her famous SINH
lar scene. Miss Kimball's acting was
perfect and many pairs of eyes bore evil
dence of tears when the owners left the
Bijou yesterday afternoon and last night.
The role is that OF a French coquette
who deserts her life of high living and
dissipation for the love of a man. The
mans father pleads that she release, his
son and she does SO for the love she bears
him and In order not to drag his name
in the dirt and mire in which she has
lived. With a breaking heart she re-
turns to her former life and her lover
finds her there the plaything of mill
lionaire. He accuses her of selling her
self for gold and at the gambling table
he wins large sums with which he at
tempts to win her back. He leaves Paris
in rage, but his father writes him to
come to her as she Is dying and the cur
tain falls on the last act as she dies In his
arms.
The balance of the company is as well
coached In this play as in previous ones.
and Frank Gilmore, as Armand Duval,
Candles lover, is as natural and as fine
in this role as his others. With the ex-
ception of the leading people the company
does not have as strong roles n this play
as in either of the others, but their work
is all that is called for to make this a
first-class production rivaling many Of
the best road shows.

The sale Of odds ana ends at the po-

realized something over $40, ana the po-

it's appearance for some time past. A
number of watches, pistols. bicycles and
old clothing was sold.
The bidding was not very lively, ana
the prices paid were very row. There
was nothing of any great value, all the
bicycles and watches being cheap affairs
which people did not care to ask for
when leaving jail.

PLAINTIFF GETS $3.50.
James A. Mitchell Claimed That A. A.
GambllI Assaulted Him.

The case of James A. Mitchell against
A. A. Gambill, suit for $4,000, was tried in
the circuit court yesterday, and late in
the afternoon the jury out on the case re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, giving
him judgment for $3.50.
The suit grew out of personal difficulty
which occurred In the police court about
two years ago. The plaintiff claims he
was assaulted by the defendant and
based his claim for damages on that plea
In the case OF John s. Camp against
Tanner the jury returned verdict for
the plaintiff for 500.
