TWO WINGS ARE
 NOW SUGGESTED
BOARD OF REVENUE IS NOW CON- slDERING ANOTHER PLAN FOR THE COURT HOUSE ExTENsic~ MORE ECONOMICAL

The fourth proposition looking towards providing more room for the various coun- ty courts in the court house. is now being considered by the board of revenue. and it is likely that this proposition. which provide for the erection of two wings to the present building will be adopted. Several days ago the board of revenue received plans and specifications from architects of Birmingham looking towards the proposed extension. At that time three propositions were received to- wit:
 1. To add a fourth story to the present building.
 2. To enlarge. ventilate and otherwise improve the basement to the building, dividing 1t into court rooms, record rooms and offices.
 3. To erect a new building on the pres- ent site of tho old county jail. on tho corner of Twenty-first street and and Fourth avenue.
 Since that time, however the suggestion has been made that the two wings be added to the court house. Under the sug- gested plans one wing is to be erected at the northwest corner of the building and the other at the northeast torner both to be three stories in height and conform to the present architectural design of tho building. The wing of the northeast cor ner, If the plan is accepted, will be built on tho present boiler house, which Is a one story brick structure adjoining the main building.
 The fourth. or two-wing proposition. 1t is said. will be the most economical The board of revenue will reach a decision in the matter, it is expected sometime next week

POLICE CAPTURE
 SEVERAL THIEVES
SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS, WORTH OF STOLEN PROPERTY REcovERED-NEGRo CAUGHT WITH DRAY LOAD OF MEAL.

The police made two important arrests cred several hundred dollars worth of stolen property They also sadly crippled two gangs of thieves which have been op- erating extensively in the city for some time.
 The first of the arrests was Tom Rob- ertson, a negro, for receiving and con- cealing stolen property, and Ocie Hurd for burglary and grand larceny. The lat ter negro broke into a Louisville and Nashville freight car beldw Oxmoor and stole about $50 worth of harness and a quantity of other goods, including to- bacco. He was caught red handed and the harness was recovered by Detective Hamilton and Special Officer Stallings, of the Louisville and Nashville.
 p. l.. Mitchell, a negro employed by the company which now owns tffe old Enslen Milling company plant, was caught with a dray load of meal, bran and other stuff stolen from the concern. It seems that for some time, when drays were loaded at the mill several extra sacks were thrown on the dray and carried to a house in the city and unloaded. When the house was filled, or there was a big load, 1t would be sold to some merchant at very low figure. This gang has been operating for some time, and this is the second time it has been broken up. There are several negroes serving sentences for the same thing. Policeman Ray made the arrest, and for several days Detective Hamilton has been working on the case.

A freight train crew has filed suit against the Southern Pacific, claiming they were com peled to work twepty-three consecutive hours, and after four hours rest were returned to work again. The law forbids the working of trainmen more than six teen consecutive hours, and provides for eight hours rest out of every twenty-four. Penalties ranging from $100 to s1,000 are nroyided for for a violation of the law.

RAILRoADa COMPLY.
Will Sell Tickets During Encampment
 at Reduced Rates.

The Southeastern Passenger association special rate of one fare, plus 90 cents. would be made for the brigade encamp- ment of the A. N G. which commences here on Monday.
 The Commercial club wrote a joint let- ter to all the passenger agents in Bir- mingham asking that one fare round trip be given for the encampment, and they referred the letter to the passenger as- sociation, with the above result
 It Is believed that hundreds of people will avail themselves of this rate to come to Birmingham, as there will be about 5000 troops in camp near Owenton, and the drills will be most interesting sights.
