SPORTSMEN HAVE
 UNUSUAL SUCCESS
MURK F. HICKMAN AND JOHN MOSES OF BIRMINGHAM BRING IN LARGE QUANTITIES OF GAME. FINE DOGS.

Murk F Hickman and John Moses, two well known sportsmen, returned from the southwestern part of Alabama last night with the largest string of game ever brought into Brmbingham as the result of one hunting expedition These two gunners left Birmingham Sunday night and returned last night with $40 quail, IS snipe and several rabbits. They report game in large quantities. In one day, be- tween the hours of Il o'clock a. m. and 5 o'clock p. m. they flushed twenty-two covies of birds and killed about 12O. On Monday they flushed eighteen covies and killed S0
 MT. Hickman and MT. Moses carried with them Fred T., Judge and one or two ured prominently in the various field trials. They say Fred T. did the best work he ever did in his life and that he will be strong candidate for the Amer ican Field prize championship.
 These two successful hunters refuse to disclose the exact whereabouts of the fields on which they hunted as the owner of the land is desirous of preserving his game. MT. Hiekmon and MT. Moses say they were treated royalty while on their trip and were shown every possible cour- tesy. Besides their own they had the use of ten very fine dogs which are being trained in that section.

VULCAN TO HAVE
 A CENTRAL PLACE
BETTER POSITION AT THE ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR THAN WAS AT FIRST PRoMIsED-NovELTY IS APPRECIATED.

The bill of lading for the first ship ment of the plaster cast of the lower portion of Vulcan was received yesterday morning by President Fred M. Jackson of the Commercial club. The shipment was made three days ago fpom Passaic, N. J., where the plaster cast was made by Sculptor Moretti
 Insurance to the amount of s10,000 is carried on the figure. and this protects the club against any damage. The shipment is coming by fast freight and is expected in Birmingham about the first of next week. It will be sidetracked Into the Dim- mick Pipe Works yard and there the iron castings will be made.
 It is expected that the reaminder of the figure will be shipped in a few days, as Sculptor Moretti has about completed 1t and portions are being packed every day.
 MT. Jackson also received letter yes- terday from Superintendent Holmes of the mines and metallurgy department of the St. Louis exposition, in which he stated that he had been able to give the Vulcan a much better position that that first se- lected. He stated that he had realized the novelty and the imposing appearance of the figure and that 1t would be placed near the center of his building.

SALOON KEEPER IS
 FINED BY JUDGE
CHARGED WITH SELLING INTOxI. GIANTS TO MAN KNOWN TO BE DRUNkARD-BARTENDERs ARE WARNED TO BE CAREFUL.

Judge Feagin yesterday fined J. M. Fowler, a saloon keeper and former mem Der of the police department, $5 on a charge of selling intoxicants to a man of known incorporate habits. He after wards remitted the fine when several policemen swore that 1t was the custom in the city to sell drinks to all who asked, provided they were not already under the influence of intoxicants.
 There is city law which makes 1t a misdemeanor to sell whiskey or intoxi- cants to a man who Is known as heavy drinker or drunkard The law has been dormant for some time, and has never been enforced to any great extent.
 The law makes the fine from $1 to $100 and Judge Feagin says that the next bartender before him on this charge will get the limit of the law He states that he is not condemning the bartenders, for as a rule he thinks they are very careful about obeying the law, but that they should certainly enforce this portion to the letter.
 A list of those known in police circles as drunkards, or men who are apt to become drunk, has been prepared and every bartender in the city has been fur nished with list. He will be instructed not to sell whiskey to any of those whose names appear on this list.
 Judge Feagin feels that by this policy many habitual drunkards will be kept out of the police court, and to certain extent prevented from getting drunk

TO RESIST ACTION
 OF CITY FATHERS
OCCUPANTS OF BUILDINGS ON SECOND AVENUE, NEAR JEFFER- SON THEATRE, CONTEND THEY DO NOT CONDUCT NUIsANCES.

good sized law suit is liable to re- suit from the expressed determination of the city of Birmingham to remove alleged nuisances along the north side of Second avenue between the Jefferson theatre and Eighteenth street, consisting of frame dwellings and small brick stores. The oc- cupants of these buildings will coptend that their businesses do not constitute a nuisance under the law and the matter probably be fought out in the courts.
 special meeting of the miscellaneous committee of the city council will be held Monday afternoon to discuss the matter and take some action.
 License Collector A. A. Gambill has been advised by the city attorney to begin proceedings by having the persons .oc- cupying the alleged objectionable build ings arrested for doing business with out license.
 The resolution which started the move ment was introduced by Alderman Green CT and provided that the buildings be removed by January 1. 1904. So far this resolution has not been enforced.

BUT LITTLE SUFFERING.
Few Extra Appeals From the Poor
 Since the Snow.

There seems to be comparatively little suffering in Birmingham as a result of the snow Wednesday night. and few ex- tra appeals have been made to the char itable organizations for aid
 When the heavy snow fell 1t was thought that there would be more suffer- ing than at any time this year. but the weather was not as cold and the need was not as great The various charitable organizations, the United Charities. the Salvation Army and others, reported yes terday that the demands had not been as heavy as at other times this winter.
 One reason for this Is said to be be- cause the steel plant and other industries in the city and the district have resumed and given employment to many who would have otherwise been in need.

NORTHERN IRON IS
 SOLD UNDER COST
INQUIRIES FOR ROUND LOTS FR M SOME OF THE PROMINENT scoNsuMERs-NoRTHERN AND SOUTHERN SITUATION.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati circu- lar of yesterdays date says:
 The fact that northern iron is being sold at much less than cost and that there is little probability of any reduce tions being made during this year suffi- cient to enable producers to make iron at less than present selling prices, has led to inquiries for round lots of iron for scattered delivery from some of the prom inent consumers.
 The northern situation is quite similar to that in the south some weeks ago, when there was a scramble for business with apparently little reference to either price or cost. After the southern fur naces steadied themselves and recognized the folly of allowing sales at a loss, the northern furnaces which had practically been without business for weeks pursued the course that had been abandoned bg the south. They allowed themselves to be stampeded and prices have gradually sunk to a point that means losses be- yond anyone's ability to stand for a great length of time Several of the com panies have begged their prices and will not go any lower, and when this is ascer- tained by the consumers it will probably lead to increased buying.
 There are no transactions worthy of Prices remain unchanged.
