FIRM coDIFYINo THE LAWS.
White G Ellington Will Have Work
 Completed in Thirty Days.

White and Ellington, who were award ed the contract for codifying the laws of the city on July 1, will probably have them ready to submit to the city council within thirty days after the adjournment of the legislature this fall.
 The contract specifics that they shall have until ninety days after the ad. journment of the legislature to complete the work but they do not think that it will require so long. The new codihca- ton will contain all the statutes pertain ing to the municipality and will fill a much felt want as the laws have not been codifed since 1890. The laws pass ed by the legislature this fall will be in- corporated in the volume.
 J. Finley White. one of the members of the law firm of White and Ellington, has had considerable experience in this kind of work He codihed the laws of Selma and was also on one of the com missions to codify the state laws.

HELPED TO DEVELOP ENsLEY.
A Company That Has Prospered With
 Steel Clty's Prosperity.

While Ensley's growth and phenomenal thrift are being discussed in investment and business circles generally, various men and institutions that have contributed to the Steel City's advancement are re- called with interest. One of the early factors in Ensley's development was the Ensley company. It played an important part In inducing investors to turn to Ensley and the work 1t did in building houses and starting industries has been thoroughly appreciated.
 The stock of the company has moved up from a s1O0 share to figures ranging from $500 to $4OO a share.
 The men prominently connected with the company are G. B. Mccormack. Frs kline Ramsey and Charles A. Nolan. The latter is the manager.

The men then clinched, and in the scuffle approached the curb, and tripping. both fell to the sidewalk. when bystanders interfered and prevent ed further trouble.
 Both men were placed under arrest and gave bond to appear before Judge Feagin Monday morning on the charge of engag- ing In an affray.
 Dr. Rosson stated that he was led to say what he did under strong provoca- ton. He had not seen Colonel Young blood for several years, but he stated that the colonel had been Instrumental in causing him to lose his position in the de- partment, and when he saw him the temptation to tell him what he thought of his action in the matter was irresist- ible.
 The whole matter will probably be aired in court on Monday.

A mistake was made according to the plate mill workers when 1t was stated that a strike was on at the rolling mills in the plate department.
 William Jenkins, vice president, and P. H. McGowan secretary of District No. I of the Amalgamated Association of Iron. Steel and Tin workers, made the follow ing statement yesterday:
 There is no strike on with the plate mill men. The mills can go to work on Monday morning if the companies choose to start up. holding the wage scale in abeyance."

WILLIAM YOUNGBLOOD AND
 DIR. ROBSON HAVE A FIGHT

A personal difficulty occurred yester- day morning in front of the Morris hotel between Col. William Youngblood, for merly third auditor of the United States treasury department at Washington, and Dr. J. R. Rosson, editor of the Cullman Democrat and until recently United States postoflce inspector.
 The circumstances of the encounter as gathered from eyewitness were these: Colonel Youngblood was sitting in front of the Hotel Morris, close to the curb Dr. Rosson, who was coming up First avenue, met Attorney William Vaughan at the corner of Nineteenth street and they walked toward the entrance to the Morris lobby. Just before reaching the entrance Dr. Rosson spied Colonel Youngblood, and approaching, addressed him with some opprobrious epithet Colonel Youngblood, who had an um- brella in his hand, struck at Dr. Rosson, who lodged, and landed stinging blow on Colonel Youngblood's face. There were several passes made, without effect, by

Second Day. Wednesday. August F

On August a team from Birmingham will go to Nashville to shoot against the Nashville Gun Clubs crack team for silver cup which is supposed to repre- sent the southern championship. It is to be a 1000 bird contest, and the local team expects to bring the trophy back with them. The conditions of the shoot ing are that the cup stays in Nashville and has to be challenged for as long as the team there can defend it, but when they lose it they have to visit the city which wins it and if possible carry 1t back to Nashville. It is a very hand some cup and will make a pretty orna- ment for the gun club.

John was third and P. c. Bowman's Jeff fourth.
 The gentlemen's road race went to Leo Loebs Annie Wilson in three heats. There were some pretty finishes in the race, Frank Gafford's Brectinridge following the winner closely every time. pr. Fox's Sarah Jane Roba was given second money, having won one heat. The other horses were: W. IT. Johnson's Alfred G, Culpepper Exums Argyle, and pr. Crowe's Newsboy. The time of the heats was 1:19, 1:17A, and 1:1S.
 No Score Cards Published.
 The management failed to provide score cards, colors or numbers and 1t was hard to keep track of the horses In fact the judges frequently did not know the names of the horses, drivers or owners, and their work was consequently harder. The crowd would have taken much more interest In the races had they known which horses they were watching. This will be rem edied at the next races.
 Music was furnished yesterday after noon by Memolis band, and a national salute of thirteen guns was fired by the Brandon Light Artillery In command of First Lieutenant J. Quincy Smith.
