TAKE WARNING.

The reports of the fearful destruc- ton of life and property in the vicini- tiesof Topeka, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, should be sufficient to make the hair stand on end on the head of every property owner and bus mess man on Main street and Brewery Gulch in this city. If an unusual flood should come down Tombstone canyon and Brewery Gulch Bisbee would wit- ness destruction equal to that now de scribed in the Kansas flood district Destruction here would net be 50 eX' tensiye, but it would be no less appall- ing and gruesome to those who wit. messed it. The absence of any seri- ous floods for several years in this Vi cinity has caused many people to en- croach on the canyons for building To- cations which will greatly increase the danger to property in the business dis tricts mentioned when the rush of water through it's old natural channel, which will greatly increase the danger to property in the business districts mentioned when the roaring rush Of the flood waters come down the can yon, which will surely occur sooner or later. Many frame buildings will be carried from their foundation, perhaps to lodge and block the passage of the water through it's old natural channel. thus extending the destruction to prop erty that otherwise would be reasona- bIy safe. Because Kansas is having floods this year is no reason why this will be the particular year when Bis bee will receive like visitation of de- struction, but the fact is sufficient to nut our people in a contemplative mood and cause them to look particularly in 10 the matter of their individual safety It is only necessary to listen to the stories of what occurred in 1891 by the floods which carried away many or 'hs honses then here, to get pretty cor rect idea of what would happen now ,fthe same amount of water came down the canyons. The Review IS not an alarmist. but the conditions are such in this town and especially those andangering the business districts in case of unusual flood, that We can not refrain from pointing out the fate which is inevitable. There will be no time for protection after the signal has been given from Castle hill; then there will be only time to escape deatn by fleeing to the hill sides. Last sum mer this dangerous condition was pointed out to the people. There were no floods last year and this seem jngly has further blinded the people tc the inevitable danger and house aftel house has been built where destruc ton is inevitable. Many ot 1hes' buildings which will be caught aa' carried away by the flood are of smai importance as to their own value bu
 lodged at the upper end of Main stree they would greatly magnify the dange
 on that thoroughfare.

THE COURTS.

The Tombstone American in Its last issue published an article concerning the workings of the courts of this ter ritory and the many eases tried Whleh result in saddling on the counties heavv loads of expense for results thai are ridiculous and farcicai. The Americans article was written in the breezv style of that paper, but 1t con ,ained much food for serious though' on the part of the taxpayers oi ATT zona who perhaps are not always ID eornoad of where the great bulk of the taxes 20 and for what purpose
 Like in every new country the court

Crime should always meet witb vigorous prosecution, regard less of the expense. The court costs which are unnecessarily burdensome in Arizona are not those incurred il prosecuting criminals. but it is the money paid out for the fees in misde- meanor and petty cases. The ez. peuse of the justices courts in Arizona is a sum which would be staggering if incurred in any other state in the union.

MONEY LENDERS
 ARE EXORBITANT
JUDGE FEAGiN STATES THAT THEY CHARGE ALL THE WAY FROM 100 TO 500 PER CENT FOR LOANS.

Judge Feagin is the authority for the statement that several of the money lend CTS of Birmingham are in the habit of collecting from 100 to 300 per cent on loans and that in some instances the interest will run even higher than 300 per cent.
 Within the past few weeks Judge Fea- gin has had several of the money lenders in his court on charges of loanlns money gives one example where the evidence in court was to the effect that loan and se- curity company loaned a negro s1 and took from him, as principal and interest, an order on his entire months salary, which amounted to $3O
 In speaking of the matter yesterday Judge Feagin said;
 "The money lenders of Birmingham im- pose on the poor and unfortunate more than any other sclass of people. They rob the poor people in every way possible, loaning them money at rates of interest which are actually beyond comprehension I was shocked and surprised when I learned that this practice was going on to such an extent in Birmingham, and I think that the newspapers might do well to take 1t up and make a fight on the money sharks. If the papers would take the matter up l believe they would be doing the people great service"

RECORD MADE FOR
 STREET CAR LINES Something Like l5O,OOO Pas sengerS Hauled Saturday A PHENOMENAL BUSINESS Birmingham Supplied the Larger Part of the Traffic and the Visitors Ac-
 counted for the Balance. No Accidents.
IA PHENOMENAL BUSINESS

While 1t has been impossible to secure any official figures as regards the crowds handled by the street cars Saturday, those who are used to estimating crowds are of the opinion that not less than l4o,- GOO or 10000 people were carried during the twelve hours.
 At the office of the street railway 1t was impossible to obtain any figures, but 1t IS generally understood that Saturdays bus mess was the largest by many thousands of people that the company has ever done.
 Every car owned by the company was utilized and even then the crowds could not be handled. It Is said that fifty more cars could have been used to advantage.
 In the estimates of the number of peo- pie who should ride daily on the cars in a city the size of Birmingham 6oO0O is considered above the average for an or dinary day, and 100000 is the maximum estimate for any special occasion In other words. according to the best esti- mates that can be found, the street cars of Birmingham carried about 90 per cent more people Saturday than is expected in a city of this size on a circus day.
 Where the people came from is a mys- tery. It is easy to see how the Blrming- ham district could furnish 100000 fares on a day like Saturday, and the extra 40, GOO or 10000 must be accounted for by the large number of visitors. If the business of the company reached the hundred and fifty thousand mark Saturday it was something phenomenal, and is the best evidence obtainable of the real size of the city In fact, a crowd of that size on the street cars in twelve hours would be credit to a city whose popuIatlon was 10000 by the census.
 Many favorable comments were heard Saturday, Sunday and yesterday on the excellent service given by the street car system on the first named day When peo- pie consider the crowds handled, the promptness with which they were carried to and from the various parts of the city Is regarded as simply marvellous.
 Another almost marvellous fact in con- nection with Saturdays business was that not a person was hurt by an electric car, and there was not an accident of any kind. It is said that special request was made by the company to all employees that they be unusually careful Saturday. owing to the immense crowd they would have to request was carried out Is the best evi- dence of the care exercised by the em- ployes.

SECURING LODGING
 FOR THE VISITORS
THE POLICE LISTING BOARDING HOUSES WHERE CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND THEIR FRIENDS CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF.

Chief of Police Wier yesterday issued an order to the members of the depart ment to obtain a list of all the boarding houses or places where Confederate Vet erans could obtain lodging for two days during the reunion here, November 4 and 5. and turn the same over to him to give the committee of Camp Hardee which has this portion of the arrangements for the reunion in charge.
 The committee has had some difficulty in obtaining a sufficient number or lods- ing and boarding places for the veterans and their friends who are to visit here and it has appealed to Chief Wier to aid it.
 Each policeman will call at each house on his beat and find out how many vet erans they can lodge or board for the two days of the reunion. This list will be given Chief Wier at once and he will see that the camp committee gets 1t. The work will be a great assistance to the committee, and will probably insure the visiting veterans getting proper places to room and eat.
 Already several of the policemen have secured a number of houses and by to- night Chief Wier expects to have list of several hundred houses.
 c. F. Enslen; chairman of the commit tee, requested the aid of Chief WIer in A letter received by the Chief yesterday morning.

NEW CRUSADE WILL BE
 STARTED ON CAMEL FRS

A new crusade on the gambling dens of Birmingham was commenced yesterday and will be rigidly prosecuted, it is said, until all, or large majority of them, are closed. The crusade was made according to the orders Issued nearly two weeks ago by Chief of Police Wier to Captain John- ston and Lieutenants Hagood and Eagan.
 On yesterday Chief Wier detailed Cap tain Johnston and Policeman Will Mur- phy to visit two or three times daily every place in the city where gambling house is supposed to be in operation and secure the names of every person found in them.
 The names secured by the police will be used in enforcing the new vagrant law and also before the grand jury, where an

JUDGE FEAGiN MERcIFUL. The Court Had to Deal With Two old
 Men.

A pitifu case of two old men in trouble occurred yesterday morning in Judge Feagin's court, and owing to their age Judge Feagin turned them loose and ask ed that they never appear before him again.
 The two old men were s. H. Watkins and w. D. Tomlin, both of whom were over 60 years old and almost white haired. The excitement of the circus proved too much for them on Saturday and they got a little too much fire water.
 The two old men were carried to jail once because they were no longer able to care for themselves, and on account of their age they were allowed to go on a straw bond. They had not been gone long before 1t was reported that they were again unable to care for them selves and they had to be brought back to jail where they were provided with bed until yesterday morning when Judge Feagin released them on account Of old age.

MIGRANTS ARE NOW
 VERY NUMEROUS
ESTIMATED THAT 55 PER CENT OF THE NEGROES APPEARING IN JUDGE FEAGlN'S COURT CAME FROM ATLANTA.

Judge Feagin of the police court has been ascertaining for the past three months where all the negroes In his court came from, and he has found that since the vagrant law of Georgia was passed that over 55 per cent. of the negroes ar rested here are from Atlanta, and fully 20 per cent.-~more are from Georgia at large
 Judge Feagin believes that this, to a large extent, explains why the police have had so many arrests to make recently, and he expresses a gladness that the same law will soon be enforced in Ala bama, so that the negroes will have to go to some other state and not hang around Birmingham.
 The average number of negroes arrest ed In Birmingham in a month Is about 600, and of this, according to Judge Fea- gin, there are about 450 who are either from Atlanta some other portion of Georgia, run out of the cracker state by the vagrant law. These negroes are of the very worst class that Georgia has and the police here are unfortunate in having that additional number of crim- inals to deal with.
 A vagrant law was passed by the last legislature and 1t will soon go into effect As soon as 1t does the police will be able to run many of these negroes out of the state and rid Birmingham of them.
 The proportion of the white men Is al- most equal to the number of negroes and the police have had great deal of trouble with the whites as well as the blacks. This is specially true of the num- Der of gamblers who have come to Bir- mingham since the vagrant and gaming laws of Georgia were passed and en- forced.

TRAVELLING MANS GRIP.
H. E. kilebrook Arrested on Charge
 of Stealing.

Henry E. Killebrook, stranger in the city, was arrested by Policemen Culpep- per, Burke and Todd yesterday afternoon. charged with stealing a grip belonging to a travelling man who gave his name as II. G. Hancock. It is alleged that Kille- brook went into room 23 in the South side Bank building, picked up the grip and carried it to Paul's saloon, corner of Avenue B and Twentieth street, telling the bartender he would call and get 1t on his way to the train. It was said that when arrested Killebrook caused good deal of amusement by admitting that he took the grip without getting the con- sent of the owner.
 He was taken to police headquarters and charge of grand larceny preferred against him.

STREET PREACHER HELD
 CROWD WITH GESTURES


 Five hundred curious people were drawn together in a crowd in front of the Metro politan hotel last night about o'clock to witness a preacher who said not a word The street and pavement were packed with people and 1t was difficult to pass through the crowd.
 The preacher, no one knows who he was, stood just few feet from the pavement in the street and there preached with his hands. While the sermon might not have had any great moral effect on the crowd, 1t certainly interested the throng assem- bled While the thoughts of the preacher might not have been original and the language which flowed through his brain might not have set the world on fire by its eloquence, still the preacher left an

effort will be made to find true bills against all the gamblers in the city. At gamblers in the city, owing to the fact that several cities which were previously known as "open have recently closed down and run all the gamblers out They came to Birmingham
 Within the past three days, or since it became generally known that Chief Wier was going to close up the gambling houses of Birmingham, about hundred gamblers have left the city. It is generally under stood that several of those running gam bling dens are prepared to close them al once, and that several houses which have been run for months will close down this week.

Mayor w. M. Drennen went to Cincin- natl yesterday at noon and will return to Birmingham tomorrow.
 While nothing was given out as to the object of his trip 1t is thought to be in connection with the movement to secure the location in Birmingham of the propos- ed school to be built by the Southern Education and Freedmen's Aid Society.

impression on his congregation. and many went away wondering and pondering on what the man might have said had his lips been unsealed.
 The preaching was done by the pan tomime. There were all the gestures of a great sermon; the facial expression of a man telling of the great truths of life and death; and the profoundness of a deep re- ligious nature but only the hands spoke.
 Why the man was silent is not known. He could talk, and was heard afterwards to speak There are hundreds of people who would like to know the history of the unusual sermon.
 Whether the man talked or not he cer- tainly drew the crowds, and exemplified again the great curiosity which lies dor mant all the time and all the people.
