Supt. M. M. Richey of the Southern railway gave a luncheon at the Hotel Morris yesterday at noon to the heads of the various departments of his divis- ion.

 MT, Richey says he likes to give such affairs every three or four months. A luncheon is not only agreeable to him personally, but the men get better ac- quainted with each other and it helps to secure thorough cooperation. Some times valuable suggestions are made and a stenographer is always on hand to take down the proceedings. Those present at yesterdays luncheon were:
 M. M. Richey,, superintendent; J. E. Mathers. East-end trainmaster; w. M. Deuel, West-end trainmaster T. II. Ackert, trainmaster at Columbus, Miss; ". A. Stepp, trainmaster at Birming- ham; W. c.

BURGLARS ENTER
 WARMERS STORE
BURST OPEN FRONT DOOR 10 MIN UTES AFTER CLERKS CLOSED THE STORE AND STOLE $25 IN CASH.

Burglars burst open the front door of Warmers ice cream parlors on Twenty first street between First and Second avenues last night within ten minutes after it had been closed for the evening by one of the clerks, and secured about s25 in cash from desk in which it had been placed.
 The burglary was committed about 10:3O o'clock, and a few minutes afterwards a passer-by noticed that the door was open. He warned one of the clerks who slept over the store, and an investigation show ed that the money was missing. Police man Hagood was at the store within a few minutes after the door was found open and assisted in the search.
 The work was evidently done by some one who was familiar with the place, and who had watched the clerk take the money from the cash register and hide 1t in the desk. As soon as the clerk left the burglar broke the door open, pried open the desk and got the money.

Chairman Rudulph reported that he had been unable to make Policeman McCallum pay rent on house which he had rent ed for some time from a preacher. He said that he would have suspended the policeman, but did not like to take ac- tion until he had reported to the commits sion The case was continued until the next meeting. Half time was allowed Policemen Me Milan, Jackson and Jones for time they lost while sick. More Time Granted.
 Commissioner McCary reported that he had failed to appear before the mayor and board of aldermen to ask for an al- lowance of money sufficient to increase the department to 100 men. He asked for more time. which was granted

Tells How He Escaped From
 OneOnta Jail THE GIRL IN THE CASE
Found Prison Doors Open and He and Murphy Fled, Accompanied By
 Miss AIdridge-charge of
 Murder Against Gurley.

Lewis Gurley alias William Patterson, Is in the Jefferson county jail, and he says he is the man who escaped from the jail in Oneonta with Marion Murphy about two months ago, when they were accompanied by Miss Ettie Aldridge in their flight. Gurley would not say that the girl let them out of prison but said' we easily found her when we got out after finding the doors of the jail open.
 The girl is the daughter of Sheriff Aid ridge of Blount county. The two men were in jail and when the delivery oc- cured she was charged with having made 1t possible for them to escape. Murphy has not been captured.
 Gurley was arrested at Scottsboro sev- eral days ago. He was identified by Sheriff Aldridge yesterday morning and brought to Birmingham between and o'clock in the afternoon. The sherin thought it would be better to lock him up here than to take him to Blount county.
 The Girl.
 The girl, who is said to be responsible for the two men getting out of jail re- turned to her fathers home several weeks ago, after being with the men for over a month. Gurley said last night he thought she was in love with Murphy, and that she remained with Murphy and himself for several weeks, while they were hiding In Jackson county.
 Gurley was arrested several months ago on charge of robbery and placed in the Oneonta jail. It was then suspected that he was guilty of the murder of a Mrs. Vaughan. an elderly lady of Blount coun- ty, or of knowing something about 1t. Murphy was in jail at the same time. In January the two men escaped and the sheriffs daughter could not be found. Reports were at once sent out from On eonta that the girl let the men out of jail, because she was in love with Murphy. Both men have eluded capture until a day or two ago. when Gurley was arrest ed by the authorities in Jackson county and held at scottsboro for Identification. The man is light of complexion and has flowing blonde hair
 GurIey's Statement. In discussing the aHalr III HIS Cell idSi night Gurley said:
 "Yes, I am the man they want for get ting out of jail, but am not guilty of what they charge me with
 Murphy and got out of jail and went to Jackson county, where they caught me. I don't know where Murphy is now, but the officers haven't found him yet.
 "We found the doors to the jail open and left. I don't want to talk about who let us out or anything about 1t. We found the girl pretty soon after leaving the Jail and she went with us. I expect she and Murphy are in love with each other.
 When the officers arrested me I was sitting in a house. I don't deny being the fellow they were looking for.
 T remained with Murphy for two months, I guess. and then we separated. I don't know where he is now.
 Gurley will be kept in jail here until his trial, which has not yet been set.

TO FILL THE VACANCY.
Aldermen Will Probably Elect City
 Tax Collector Next Week.

At the next meeting of the mayor and board of aldermen, to be held Wednes- day night of next week, it is probable that a successor to the late Capt. James T. Meade, who held the position of city tax collector, will be elected.
 So far only two candidates are men toned in connection with the office. They are H. A. Richardson. at present priv ate secretary to Mayor Drennen, and J. J, Boggan, who is connected with the office of the license inspector and street tax collector.
 As yet no one has announced as an applicant for the place, but will prob ably do so within the next few days.
 The office of the tax collector has been draped in mourning on account of the death of Captain Meade, and the offices in the city hall building were closed until noon yesterday out of respect to his mem- ory.
 A. r. Grubb, assistant tax collector, is visiting friends in Cullman county. As he is out in the country efforts so far to apprise him of the death of Captain Meade have failed.
 The office of tax collector pays s12oo a year.

 Work Made Light.
 The absence of women in the line less ened the work of MT. Sprague It gen. erally requires nearly twice as much time to satisfy a woman as II coes a man. be- cause frequently ladies do not under stand the plan of theatre, and insist on having certain seats which have already been sold. There were only few women in line yesterday morning, and they were handed the next six seats after those received by the man in front of them. No favorites were played.
 What always frets me- said one of the dignifed gentlemen in the crowd, 'tis to see an urchin, who is not after tickets, get in line and sell his place to late conner I had been waiting in line for three hours to buy seats for myself and wife, and two boys just ahead of me sold their places to late corners. Each of them got $1.'
