was used, contrary to the specifications. The alleged inferior material was not specified.
 Alderman Jones said that cement made by a local company was used in part or the work upon petition of residents rather than the Louisville cement. This cement was only used in front of the property of those citizens who signed the petition. Otherwise all specifications had been fol- lowed. City Engineer Kendrick also stat ed that no inferior materials were used. He declared the Birmingham cem ent far better than the Louisville. He denied that his figures on the estimate were in- correct.
 Dr. Coleman and Mir. w c. Catchings also entered protests, their names not being attached to the petition. When they had concluded Alderman Gray nov ed the assessments be made final and the motion was carried unanimously.

COLONEL HIGDON
 MAKES NO DEMANDS
HAS WRITTEN GOV. JELKS A LET TER REVIEWING THE CASE WITHOUT INITIATING WHAT ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN.

It is stated by authoritative sources that the repeated publication that Col. B. l.. Higdon of the Third Regiment has writ ten Governor Jelks a letter demanding re- instatement is erroneous. Colonel Hlg- don wrote the Governor several days ago. reviewing his military record as well as the recent difficulties in the regiment, put making no demand of the Governor fur ther than the inference that the only re- ward coming to an officer was the ap- proval of his superior provided his duty had been performed.
 Colonel Higdon was asked yesterday afternoon about the report that had reached here from Montgomery, but de- clined to discuss 1t. When told what had been obtained from other sources about his letter he merely said that he sup posed if Governor Jelks desired publicity he would give out the letter from his of flee It was entirely in the hands of the chief executive.
 Friends of the colonel say that while he preserves silence he is undoubtedly smart ing under the long delay. He feels that he has done his duty If he has not his intimates argue that charges should be preferred. They contend that he will not resign under~any circumstances and that if Governor Jelks does not soon take ac- ton the only course left for him will be to demand reinstatement or trial.
 Attorney General Charles G. Brown has just rendered an opinion declaring that the officers who attended the courtmar- tial are not entitled to anything but civ ilian's pay. This is $1.5O Der day and five cents mileage.
 It is understood that the officers who attended and who were required to veal their uniforms will insist upon receiving pay as if they were in any other regular uniform service. They claim they were under regular orders and are entitled to regular pay for that reason.

POLITICAL TONGUES
 ARE SET TO WAGGING

from the constitution point of view and I can say no more. for there is nothing more to say" said MT. Underwood.
 MT. Henry B. Gray, close friend of Com on his own account, said last night that Dr. Cunningham had not only the Ninth district back of him but many counties outside of this district
 "Dr. Cunningham announced himself in a straightforward way" said MT. Gray, and I am sure he will be the choice of the Democracy of Alabama"
 What do you think of the Johnston wing?" Mir. Gray was asked.
 T do not know what Governor John stons plans are. I only know that Jelks and Cunningham make up a good Democratic ticket"
 A Birmingham lawyer who has never voted any ticket but that put out by the Democratic party said that he thought the serhi-authoritative an- nouncement of Jelks and Cunningham was somewhat premature. "I may vote for those gentlemen" he remarked. 'If the Democrauc party III convention as sembled nominates them I will certainly vote for them. yet as an old party man, l would say wait awhile"
 The general impression in political cir cles is that the anti-ratihers will force ex-Governor Johnston to enter the race for Governor. Others who have been mentioned in connection with the Gov ernorship in opposition to Governor Jeiks, nave decided" said a Democrat, "as the ex-Governor has been pronounced in the expression of his opinion against the rat ification wing of the Democratic party he is looked upon as the logical candidate"

JOHN Is new ROLE

New York, June 5.-A dispatch to the
Sun from Waterbury, Conn, says:
John L. Sullivan left town this morn
ing, after sundry interesting expert
ences with the local sheriff, with Toan-
tick, once boss fighter Of the Cheyenne
Indians, with Buffalo Bill and with
John Barleycorn. His parting words
were to the effect that he'd had a
warmer time than is usually enjoyed
on earth or in heaven"
John L. arrived on Monday morning
as Simon Legree in Downing's Uncle
Toms Cabin" tent show. The entire
show outfit was at once attached by
the sheriff to cover q debt OF $4,000. In
consequence Simon Legree and his
friends were forced to stay in town
longer than they had intended.
Last night John L., while attending
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, was in
duced to ride in the Deadwood stage
coach. Toantick, who led furious at
tack Of subsidized savages, galloped
close to the coach window, brandishing
his gun in close proximity to John l.. 3
nose. Immediately Sullivan's fist shot
violently from the lattice. Il can lick
that painted devil!' roared the ey-
champion.
After the rescue Sullivan fervently
clasped Colonel Cody's hand. This
show is on the level" he said; but You
want to keep your eye peeled or the jay
cops will have the whole thing pinched,
