 Victim.

Attorney Arthur L. Brown will shortly leave for Maxon, Tex, in an endeavor to identify the body of Mrs. s. s. Knight of Hartselle, who was on the Sunset limited train which was wrecked and burned Marcl '. Fifteen people were killed and over che hundred injured in the wreck.
 The attorneys of the railroad company have settled with the heirs of many of those killed, but they have been unable to identify the body of Mrs. Knight or any of her belongings. Mrs. Knight wrote that she would go on that train, and nothing having been heard from her since. her family are satisfied she was among the number of those burned.
 The question between the estate and railroad Is one of Identification. Every thing belonging to Mrs. Knight was ap- parently destroyed by the fire, but MT Brown is hopeful of finding sufficient evi dence to prove that she was on the trair and that she had purchased a ticket foi Yuma. She leet Hartselle, where Mrs. J T. Turney. relative. resides, four days previous to the accident.

Claim That Poisoned
 Bullets Killed Him

The charge against the negro was changed to murder.
 Hamp Bryant who was shot through the arm at the same time, is improving fast.
 According to the most reliable reports of the shooting Sunday, and the story the police believe to be true. Bryant and Sentell were drinking and had a few words with the negro. He secured a brick. which the white men took away from him. He then went into his house and secured a pistol, which Sentell snatchcd from his hand and commenced shooting, hitting Bryant in the arm.
 The negro Is then said to have gone into the house and secured a shotgun loaded with slugs As Sentell was run ming from him he emptied the load into Sentells legs
 Sentell's remains will be inferred this afternoon at 8 o'clock in the Cotton Mill cemetery.

ment when farmed out as 1t has been dur in; the past few years.
 The contract for doing this work eX- pjred on June D. 1900, and owing to the unsatisfactory manner in which this de- partment has been conducted heretofore, we have not deemed 1t advisable to re- new the contract until thorough in- yestigation be made relative to the city taking this work under Its supervision and placing 1t In the hands of the street commissioner.
 For the past few years, It has been necessary to work the entire force of prisoners in opening up and maintaining our streets As our present city limits are small, and no new additional territory has been taken in during the past few years. and as many of our streets and sidewalks have been macadamized and paved 1t IS not now necessary that such a large force of prisoners as we now have-freouently numbering one hundred and lty-be used for this purpose. With the prison force that could be made avail able for this service, certainly no contrac- tor could do the work cheaper, and few would do it more thoroughly.
 With the present expenses of this department, which Is now under tenn porary contract, am convinced that our streets, instead of being of an un- slightly appearance and a continual source of annoyance and in an un- healthy condition, could be kept clean and cease to be a menace to the com munity.
 This matter is now before the Finance and Police and Sanitation Committee and I hope that they will recommend that this department be taken in charge by the city.

Sanitation.

In my last two annual messages your attention was called to the numerous 6e- fects and complaints arsing from the imperfect manner of disposing of garbage under our present contract system. No material change has been made in the sanitary method of the disposal of gar- bage. trash, etc., and the same defects confront us now that have heretofore. New conditions are continually arising which makes it impossible to secure thor oug4. and efficient service in this depart

quarters occupied by it were inadequate.
 The force at present consists of the chief, one day captain one night captain, one desk sergeant, one patrol driver four mounted men and forty-three patrolmen. On October l the force was increased by the addition of ten patrolmen, bringing it up to its present standard. This in- crease has enabled the department to fur nish better protection to the residence portion of the city.
 By comparison 1t will be seen that the expense of the department for 1901 was $45,0SO as against s43, 655 for 1900. This shows an increase of only S1425 over the previous year. The total cash receipts imposed by the Inferior Criminal Court amounted to $25,550 an increase of $3S92 over 1900.
 On sundry charges the total number of arrest during the year was 10009, an in- crease of 3S9 over the previous year. The daily average number of prisoners in con- finement was 149 and of these the street departm ent used from sixty to one hun dred and twenty-fifive per day in clean ing. sweeping, grading and all manner of street work. This department reports that during the year stolen property amounting In value to $10,945 was recov- cred.
 City Prisoners.
 No department of the city has been so poorly provided for as our city prison and on account of It's over crowded con- dition, as we'll as its poor sanitary ar- rangement 1t has been impossible to even make temporary improvements that would meet the requirements of the con tinual increase in the number of pris- oners. We have the plans matured and the contract is let for the re-modelng of the Northside prison near the corner of Nineteenth street and Fourth ave nue. When this building has been remod- eled 1t will contain ample accommodations and separate quarters forSwhite and col ored, as we'll as for male and fem ale pris- oners. This building, when completed, will afford ample quarters for at least one hundred and fifty inmates, also providing a hospital ward and operating room for the city physician.
 While ample provision will be made for the confinement of both untried and con- vict ed prisoners, wish to again call your attention to the great importance of pur- chasing a site in a suitable locality on which to erect a stockade so that all able-bodied prisoners, after they have been tried and sentenced. can be moved frcm the central station to the stockade.
