 c. B. Ryan, general passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line. with headquarters In Portsmouth, Va, Is expected in Bir- mingham the latter part of this week.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad will make an attempt to have their new roundhouse, coahng station and switch yards near Boyles ready for use by No- vember 1. when the heavy winter traffic begins. Bids for doing the work will probably be called for within the next two weeks, and when they are let tnere w..l be stipulation that the contractor must forfeit certain amount for delay in finishing after a fixed date.
 IL Is felt by the Louisville and Nash vile officials that the new and enlarged switch yards will save much time, even though they are located four miles from the city. All the freight traffic of Louis vile is handled through yards four miles out and all business for St. Louis is handled at East St. Louis, so that the idea of having the yards well out is rather the rule than the exception.

ALA. DELEGATES
 FAIL TO ATTEND
MEN APPOINTED TO TAKE PART IN GOOD ROADS CONVENTION AT ST. LOUIS WERE TOO BUSY TO LEAVE.

So far as is known no delegates from the Commercial club went to the good roads convention which met in St. Louis yesterday. Several of the mem bers who stated that they would go were unable to leave their business. It seems that from other sections of the state few if any delegates will attend. Several men who were supposed to go from Mo bile, Montgomery and other cities failed to leave here yesterday as scheduled.
 It was generally thought that several members of the Alabama commission to have an exhibit at the exposition would get together In St. Louis at this meeting and arrange a plan whereby an exhibit could be given, but none of them went A meeting of the commission will probably be called in Birmingham within the next day or two. At that time several sug- gestions will be made and the matter of an exhibit will be definitely decided.

 A number of prominent local surgeons are so much interested in the case that they have asked permission of MT.

Rotholz expects to take his daughter to Chicago to have Dr. Lorenz himself remove the plaster cast. Lorenz being expected in this country at that time. MT.

EX-C0NSTABLE MADE BLUFF
THAT POLICE CALLED.
Charlie Murphy, Drunk, ImpersOn-
ated Detective of Same Name.

Charlie Murphy, Drunk, ImpersOn-
ated Detective of Same Name.
For impersonating Detective ]. j.
Murphy, and in various and sundry
ways violating the city ordinances,
Charlie Murphy. an ex-constable who
has been handled by the police on
more than one occasion, was arrested
last night and is a prisoner at the po-
lice station house.
A healthy Changing sentence is
staring Murphy in the face as result
of his latest escapades. Murphy has
a thirst that cannot be quenched cas-
lily, and a few drinks, more or less,
makes him think that he is somewhat
bigger than he really is.
II was while in this condition that
he approached women and threatened
them, declaring that he was Detective
Murphy. The roustabout displayed a
cheap badge that he had managed to
save from the days when he had a
right TO make an arrest
Murphy was only quite recently re-
leased from jail. where he was sent
by the Recorder for some violation
of city ordinance. The fact that he
not only created disorder and kicked
1n door on Congress street, but that
he palmed himself off as one of the
city detectives will make his next
sentence longer. Detective Murphy is
determined to see that the offender is
given the limit, and the badge that
the ex-constable has been wont to
play his FRANKS with will probably be
confscated by the police
