GIVES MAJORITY OF 1O3 VOTES FOR
 INCORPORATION Election in North Birmingham Passes Of Very
 Quietly NEGROES SCARED WHITES Thought Early In Day That They Would Turn Tide and Many
 of Them Were Dis

NEGROES SCARED WHITES

As was predicted, North Birmingham went for incorporation by a large ma jority yesterday, the vote being, North Side Creek, 123 for. g against; the total vote being, for incorporation 173; against incorporation 70; majority of 1O3 for in- corporation.
 Much anxiety was felt in the early part of the day by those in favor of incorpora- ton, that the negroes from the furnace and pipe works at North Birmingham might come in and change the result. In fact, 1t was darkly hinted that a large number of tickets had been printed with Against Incorporation" already crossed, and distributed to the negroes. The tick cts simply read For Incorporation and Against Incorporation, the voter put ting cross mark in front of his choice. Many negroes attempted to vote, but most of them were disqualified.
 It Is probable an election for city off, cers will be held next week. The election managers have five days in which to make a return to the Probate Judge. The judge then has 10 days in which to order an election. The managers will probably make a return to the Probate Judge to- morrow and an election will no doubt be ordered immediately.
 By the terms of the agreement entered into between the North and South sides of the creek, the North side will have three of the five aldermen, and all public buildings. The election passed of quietly

ADAMS TRANSFERS
 RAILWAY FRANCHISE
GOES TO STEEL CITIES RAILWAY COMPANY, WHICH PROPOSES TO CONNECT SUBURBS BY CHAIN OF NEW ROADS.

Formal transfer of the street railway franchise granted to MT. J. R. Adams and associates by the City Council at their last regular meeting was made to the Steel Cities Railway Company few days ago, and it is claimed that preparations for work have already commenced.
 The new system it is clamed will touch every mining and manufacturing town around Birmingham. One of the promoters of the new railway company stated yes terday that the proposed. route of the railway was almost continuously through thickly populated settlements. reaching population of about 50,000 people outside of Birmingham proper. Some of the su- burban towns to be reached are Ensley, Pratt City, Sandusky, Thomas, Bessemer, Woodward, Dolomite, Blossburg and Adamsville. It is said by those interested that cars will be running over their sys- tenn inside of twelve months, the claim being made that orders for electrical ma chinery have already been placed. The company will probably close a contract for about 400 tons of rails in a day or so. Forty-ons miles of the proposed route has been surveyed.

The Birmingham Trades Council met in special session at Bricklayers' Hall last night at 7:SO o'clock pursuant to a call issued by President T. J. Williams.

Report of Sanitary Expert on the Routes to be Made
 Soon
BOARD TO MEET TUESDAY
Expected Mr. oray's Recommends tlons Will Then Be Acted Upon and Bids for Work SoIie-
 lted at Once.

Work on the county sewerage syst em will probably begin in April. Major An derson. chairman of the Jefferson county sanitary commission. said yesterday that as soon as a report was received from Mir. Gray. the expert sanitary engineer, a route would be decided upon and bids for the construction of the system would be solicited. He thought that about 30 days later the contr act would be award ed and work immediately begun. He hardly expected the work to be com pleted under two years
 It is expected that Mir. Gray will make his report at the meeting of the sanitary commission next Tuesday night. MT. Gray will report on two routes. The and nothing remains then except to ad- vertise for bids. This will require 80 days. and work will then commence
 The issuance of s5OOO0o of bonds by Jefferson county for the construction of the sanitary system was authorized by the last Legislature. Only $26.o00 of this amount has been issued It is said there VIII De HO hlliCulIy III lOdlihB tuS ES- maining $475.0OO of bonds. The payment of the interest has already been provided for by the county. and funds are still ac- cumulating for this purpose It is thought that s50ouOO will be sufficient to fully in- stall the system as well as construct the rurification plant.
 The system will extend from East Lake to several miles beyond Bessemer. where the sewage will be treated by scientific methods at a purifcation plant. The system will have two branches, one of which will drain Avondale, woodlawn. East Lake, North and East Birmingham. Thomas, Pratt City and Ensley, and the other will drain Birmingham and Besse- mer. The capacity of the system will be great enough to meet the needs of Birmingham for many years.
 A report of the anaylsis of the water supplied the people of Birmingham and suburbs is being prepared by MT. Gray, but this report will not be ready in time for the meeting Tuesday night.

Again the friendly chair in the hands of Johnson found its way across the head of a brother. It fitted well this time.

He wanted the whole bunch pinched but the "doll house. is too small so it could not be. The brothers looked like they had ascended the hill at San Juan.

THIRD DEGREE NOTA CHARM
Terrified Brother Administers Upper cuts and Left Hooks, to Say Nothing of the Damage
 Done With a Chair.

As the result of his longing to take the third degree of the Masonic Order Will liam E. Johnson, the pastor of Zion mis- sion, a negro church, and a shoemaker, is lying in his room on Nineteenth street between Fourth and Fifth Avenues with a rib smashed and his body more or less bruised and cut. Among the Masons there are several of the would-be initiators with black eyes and big bumps on their heads, caused by coming in contact with the husky fists of the preacher and chair which he wieided with terrible force.
 It all happened Wednesday night at a meeting of Mount Hebron Masonic Lodge in a hall over the Penny Savings Bank on Twentieth street near Fourth Avenue. Blindfoded and trembling Preacher John son was led into the room to take the degree which was coming to him. He got 1t and at the same time handed out a side degree to a couple of brothers. According to the parsons account of the initiation he was escorted into a room with his eyes blindfolded. Down on his back des- cended one of the brothers, and down on the floor went the would-be brother. His nose struck first and from that mem- Der issued a crimson stream.

Not BrotherIy Treatment.

Johnson did not consider this brotherly treatment and began tearing away the bandage from his eyes. At the same time he reached for convenient chair and laid 1t across the head of a brother. One of his fists fitted perfectly into the eye of another and left Its mark there-the eye is swollen so the owner Is unable to see daylight.
 A brotherly attack was then made, 80 the story goes. by the president of the society. He landed a left hook on the mouth of the would-be third degree taker, leaving cavity once occupied by 8 tooth.
 Then the brotherly attack commenced from behind, claims the Rev. MT. John son. Some one landed a right behind his ear which brought him to the floor, and there he took the count, unconscious of what the other brothers were doing. When he recovered he remonstrated gently with them, telling them it was not brotherly and right in the sight of God" He then discovered that his rib was pain ing him so he could not breathe. Then he refnembered having felt a jar in the side while unconscious. It was brotherly kick in the ribs,
