NEGRO LOOKS LIKE
 MULLINS MURDERER
PHOTOGRAPH OF MAN SUPPOSED TO BE HENRY KING RECEIVED HERE-DEsk SERGEANT sHlR- LEY LEAVES FOR KNOXVILLE.

Desk Sergeant Shirley went to Knox vile last night to identify the negro arr rested there on suspicion of being Henry King.
 The negro may be the one wanted here on a charge of shooting and killing Po- liceman' J. H. Mullin last September. The killing occurred on Second avenue and T%enty-seventh street
 A picture of the man has been received by the police department here and all of those in town who know Henry King have identified the negro in the photo graph as the one wanted. Desk Sergeant Shirley, Jim Ball, Policeman Nix, Po- liceman Disheroon and several negroes have seen the picture and they are all of the opinion that this is Henry King.
 In the identification there is but one thing which leads to a belief of it's being the wrong negro The picture shows a negro somewhat taller than Henry King. The face on the picture is that of Henry King and the scars and cuts on his body correspond with those on Henry King.
 A negro who was in Knoxville several days ago was in the chiefs office and said that he had seen Henry King there.
 He described the clothing worn by King and exactly how he looked. He had known King and at one time was friend of the negro wanted. esterday morning the photograph from Knoxville was shown him and he at once identified 1t as that of the negro he had seen. The shirt worn, the buttons and the pockets in 1t all corresponded with the descrip- tion furnished the local department by that negro several days ago.
 Sergeant Shirley knows Henry King we'll and he states that from the waist up, the negro in the photograph is Henry King. He win return by tomorrow night and them 1t will be known positively If this is the right negro.

EAST LAKE ENJOYS
 A WARM ELECTION
M. M. BARRETT ELECTED CITY CLERK AFTER HOT FIGHT IN THE COUNCIL, IN WHICH cITl- ZENS WERE ALLOWED VOICE.

The meeting of the city council of East Lake last night was by far the most strenuous which that interesting suburb has ever known. The council did all most nothing else than elect a city clerk, which is the only office in the municipal ity with a salary attached.
 M. M Barrett was elected after a warm fight.
 The council chamber was packed to suf- location by the partisans of the two candidates for the office of city clerk. The candidates were T. L. Moore present incumbent, who has held the office three years, and MT. Barrett
 Alderman T. Y. Prude led the fight for the election of MT. Barrett while Alder man J. H. Finch warmly espoused the candidacy of MT. Moore. Aldermen Prude and Finch occupied the floor at least half an hour each, and pleaded earnestly for the election of their re- spectve candidates. The meeting was thrown open to the citizens generally and probably fifteen or twenty spoke. Alderman Prude nominated MT. Barrett and Alderman Finch presented the name of MT Moore The vote stood as follows:
 For Barrett--Aldermen Prude, Olson, Huey, Morris and iIawley-5 For Moore-Aldermen Finch La Rosse and Waldrop-3
 The election of MT. Barrett was made unanimous. His term Is for two years, beginning January 1, 1904

Some little delay has been experienced in progress ing with the work on account Of strik- ing a ledge of rock. Under the contracts the two firms must complete the work by January l, 1905. I think they will finish up, however, if the conditions are
 favorable some time next fall

Drennen appeared before the sanitary commis- sion apparently in the interest of the three firms.
 If I remember right" said Secretary Smyer, "Mr. Drennen, upon being asked by the members of the commission in what capacity he appeared before them, replied that at least two of the firms were customers of his and that he was to furnish supplies to them"
 Major Frank Y. Anderson, president of the sanitary commission, stated again on yesterday that he knew nothing of any agreement between MT. Drennen and the contractors

J. s. MABRY WINS
 HIS DAMAGE SUIT
NATIONAL SURETY co. CHARGED EMBEZzLEMENT,E BUT ACCOUNTS WERE ALL RIGHT, AND MARRY
 sUED-GETs $s4oo.

Among the handsome Christmas pres- Birmingham, the one which has just been awarded to J. s. Mabry probably excels them all.
 A judgment has been rendered by the Supreme court of Alabama whereby MT. Mabry will receive a check for $94oo
 About four years ago MT. Mabry was in the employ of the Hammond Packing company as their agent in this city. When he left the company it was charged that he was three or four hundred dollars short In his accounts.
 He was under bond, the National Surety company being his surety The packing company called on the surety company to make the shortage good. Following this the National Surety company brought suit against MT. Mabry, charging emoez- element The developments of the case brought out the fact that MT. Mabry' S accounts were all right, and he was ac- quilted of the charge.
 Thereupon MT. Mabry brought suit against the surety company for damages 
 tried in the City court, and in Feb ruary 1902. verdict for $500 was rem dered in favor of the plaintiff.
 The matter was appealed to the Supreme court, where it has been pending for many months. A judgment has just been rendered affirming the judgment of the lower court.
 In Alabama the statutes provide for 10 per cent extra damages for the plaintiff on the affirmance of suit, and this 10 per cent adds s75O to the original judg- ment Including this amount and the in- terest on the original will make a total of about $siOO which will be received by MT. Mabry.
 Lane & White were MT. M~bry's attor- neys.
