TWO ADDITIONAL
 INSPECTORS WANTED
MARKET COMMITTEE TO REcoM- MEND THAT MORE MEN BE EN- FLOWED IN MILK AND MEAT IN- SPEcTIoN DEPARTMENT.

The market and market buildings com- recommend to the board at the next meet ing the appointment of two additional as- sistants in the milk and meat inspection department of the city.
 This was decided on by the committee which met yesterday at noon in the office of the mayor, for the purpose of dis cussing the matter. It was the opinion Of the committeeman that the work in the meat and milk inspection department was so great as to need two more assistants.
 One of the two assistants will hold office for only three months the other possibly during the entire year. At present there Is a chief inspector and two assistants, and 1t is said that the work is growing to such an extent that theg cannot well att tend to all of the details.
 It Is proposed to use one of the addi- tional assistants to help In making the tubercular test of cows, which will here- after be strictly enforced by the city au- thorities. This test will probably be com- pleted by the first of April.
 Dr C. A. Cary or AuDuIi is Bieotiy In terested in building up this department of the city. It was through his Influence that similar city department In Mont gomery was brought up to such stand ard that 1t now ranks with that of any other city in the country. It is under stood that when this test was first adopt ed in Montgomery there was great oppo- sition among the dairymen, but 1t Is said to have proved successful. When 1t was first made 1t Is understood about per cent of the milch COWS were rejected, but the last report shows that only two out of 200 COWS were thrown out.
 The object of the test Is to ascertain If a dairy COW has any disease, especially If consumption exists in any degree IT a COW Is found to be unhealthy she Is re- Jected and orders are given that her milk cannot be sold. Other milk tests are made, and 1t is the intention of the au- thorities to have samples of milk taken frequently from the dairy wagons and tested at the city hall.
 In addition to the inspection of milk the inspectors examine meats of all kinds, fresh beef, both local and foreign. The cows are inspected before they are slaughtered, and the meat after It has been put on sale.

R0BT. D. MASSEY
 DIES IN HOSPITAL
WAS THE FATHER OF WILL MAS SEY, WHO IS WANTED BY THE SHERIFF ON A CHARGE OF MUIR. DER.

Robert D. Massey, father of Will Mas sey, who Is wanted by the sheriff on charge of killing c. H. Hope on Wednes- day afternoon. December 1T. died yester- day at one of the private hospitals In the city. He was carried to the hospital yes- terday from the county jail. where he was being held on a charge of being an sctcomplice in the murder of Hope.
 Massey was taken i'll several days after he was arrested by the police, and 1t is supposed that the exposure on the after noon Of the shooting brought on the at- tack of pneumonia from which he died. The funeral arrangements have not been made, but the interment will probably be in Shades valley, where the Masseys live.
 It is thought that the death of his father may cause Will Massey to surren- der to the authorities in order to be pres ent at the funeral. The remains are at Taylor & Co.'S.

Illinois Ceatra| to Enter This
 District by Frisco Tracks,
HARAHAN'S VISIT YESTERDAY
Vice President of Central Went Over Belt Line and Visits EnsIey and Bessemer In Order to Get
 His Bearings.

The Illinois Central Railroad company will soon be running it's trains into Bir- mingham over the tracks of the Frisco system. The terms in general by which this arrangement was effected were agreed upon between representatives of the two lines in New York several weeks ago. The details are now being worked out.
 Vice-President J. T. Harahan of the Illinois Central, accompanied by his as- sistant general manager, J. F. Wallace. arrived in Birmingham yesterday morn ing and left at ? D. m. These officials spent their time here in going over the Belt Line, which is now owned by the Frisco, and in looking over the Friscos terminal facilities at Ensley and Besse- mer. They were accompanied by w. H. Fickinger, superintendent of the Frisco and George H. Clark, general manager of the Belt.
 While Mir. Harahan declined to make any statement for publication, it is known that his visit to the district was In con- nection with the coming of Illinois Gen. tral.
 The Central has little piece of road in Alabama. It runs from Winfield on the Frisco line to Brilliant in Marion coun- ty. In order to reach Brilliant the Illi- nois Central comes over the Frisco from Amory, Miss In coming to Birmingham the Illinois Central will run its trains either from Holly Springs or Amory. The latter point is a few miles from Aberdeen and is 124 miles from Birming- ham.
 Engineers of the Illinois Central have been surveying a route from the line in Tennessee to Sheffield. Illinois Central engineers have also been making surveys from Birmingham into the mineral sec tions.
 The traffic that originates in and around Birmingham is enough to make it well worth while for the IllinNis Central to reach this city. but once here it will naturally branch out into the rich min eral fields north of this point.
