Ed Walker, negro, was stabbed and almost instantly killed last night about 3 o'clock in the rear of the saloon at Avenue A and Twenty-second street by Dick Morrow, negro well known in po- lice circles.
 Walker ran out of the saloon and fell dead on the sidewalk after he had been stabbed. There seems to have been no provocation Morrow Is still at large, al- though the police are looking for him. He is almost white in color and Is familiar character in the city.
 It seems that Morrow runs small restaurant in the rear of this saloon at Avenue A and Twenty second street. Last night he and Walker were in there talk ing and he attempted to get Walker to shoot craps with him. Walker refused to leave the room to shoot the craps as Morrow desired, and seemingly the matter was dropped.
 A few minutes afterwards Morrow slipped up behind Walker and stabbed him trough the heart. He then escaped through the back door. Policemen were sent to the place. but the negro had made his escape.

ALABAMA EGGS IN BRISK DEMAND NOW Shipments Are Being Made to
 Eastern Markets HIGH PRICE IN NEW YORK Fifteen Hundred Cases Have Been Shipped East Since February 1.
 Eggs Bring 25 Cents In
 New York.
 

Since February 1 15O0 cases of eggs have been shipped to the eastern markets and at present an average of 100 cases a day are being sent out of Birmingham to dealers in New York There is very heavy demand for eggs now and the south Is being called on to practically supply the country. The shipments from this section to date are estimated to amount to s11,25O in value. This money has been divided among the farmers and produce men of the Birmingham district. j. It is perhaps the first time that this part of the country has shipped eggs ir such large quantities to tile east. c. F Bell 6 Go. are doing the principal busi- ress and are rushed with orders every day. Ihex buy from farmers and country merchants within a radius of 100 miles from Birmingham and report that the supply is at present adequate to the de- nland.
 In New York.
 Eggs are selling at 25 cents per dozen in New York and are disposed of with out any trouble. Practically all north Alabama is catering to the eastern mar ket, with the exception of Decatur,
  Huntsville and one or two other towns north of here which ship to Nashville. The eggs shipped from Birmingham are not bought in Birmingham but through agents sent out to other towns in the district. The shipments are made by express to Norfolk and from there to New York by steamer.
 The quantity of eggs sent from Alabama is unprecedented when it Is remember ed that the busy season started less than month ago Dealers predict that the present demand will continue until spring when the western and northern hens will again begin laying and the south will be out of the market. However, some pro- duce men in Birmingham are planning to buy eggs and put them in cold storage, thus getting a handicap on the market in case the present condition of affairs is repeated next season.
 Scarce In the East.
 Eggs have been scarce in the east, as a result of the continued cold weather. and there is no reason to fear a slump In prices until the weather moderates enough to permit other sections of the country to enter the market. A case of eggs sells for $75O There are 30 dozen in case and after a little fig uring it Is seen that Birmingham has already shipped 45,00O dozen eggs to New York since February and continues to ship at the rate of 5000 dozen or 3e,OOO eggs day This is a remarkable evil dence of the activity of Alabama hens and goes to show that there Is money inpoultry as well as in cotton. Every time hen caclxles these days 1t means that the owner of that hen is nearly cents richer than he was before
