U. s. JUDGE HEARS
 VERY UNIQUE CASE
JUDGE ToULMlN NOW HAS UNDER ADVIsEMENT A SUIT IN WHICH IT IS SOUGHT TO SHOW PLANT IFF NEVER LIVED.

Judge Harry Toulmin of the United States federal court came to Birmingham yesterday to hear the case of J. F. Evans, administrator, against the South- ern Railway company. After hearing the evidence in the case. Judge Toulmin took the matter under advisement. He will render decision later.
 The Evans case Is quite unique one. Efforts were made in the hearing of the case, which was formerly tried in the federal court of the northern district of Alabama, to show that the intestate in whose behalf the plaintiff brought suit never lived. Last February when the case was heard by Judge Toulmin it was claimed that James Kelley. a negro. was killed in September, 1902, at wreck on the Southern railway at Berry, Ala. A verdict for the plaintiff was awarded for s175O.
 Upon the ground that Kelley never lived, a motion was entered in the fed eral court to set aside the verdict of the jury, which was sustained by the court. The court gave the defendant six months time in which to prove to the court that the intestate to the suit did not live, or was not dead.
 Several Interesting legal problems were introduced in the hearing. Judge Toul- min came tc Birmingham from Annis- ton hear the case. He is stopping at the Hotel Hillman. He will leave this morn. ing for Mobile where he ooes fo nresid, over the federal court there. For tn, past few days he has been quite un well and he retired early last night.

"The Burgomaster" manages to hold sical comedy productions with which fl is brought in contact and ambles around every year with pleasing regularity There are many pretty airs in ''The Bur gomaster." words and music that will bear frequent repetition and suffer nc detractlon by the flight of Father Time. The sweet kangaroo song, 'I Love You, '' and the Cupid song fall so pleasantly upon the ear that later successes are for the first time forgotten and one har- kens back to the time when the tune full "Burgomaster'' first made its bid for popular favor.
 The company at the Jefferson theatre last night was distinguished by it's sing ing ability Although rather hard-favor- ed the looks of the chorus did not detract from the songs and all the musical num- bers were well rendered, especially those sung by Miss Hatzfeldt Miss Hatzfeldt Is very captivating as Willie" She makes an admirable boy and the fact that she is countess does not prevent her from taking pains to please. She also has sweet voice and dainty pres ence Miss Louise Bracket was clever and her voice was heard to advantage.
 Oscar L. Figman was the burgomaster. He is a comedian of ability who makes the best of his opportunities as Peter Stuyvesant and he kept the house in a good humor last night. The other mem bers of the company were not conspicuous for their talents but all of them together gave very entertaining performance and one that was greatly enjoyed.

 In the primary last Tuesday neither of these candidates received a majority of the votes cast as required by the ruling of the city democratic executive com mittee although MT. Bell lead in the race for city clerk and Mir. Culpepper lead in the contest for aldermanic honrs in the Fourth ward.
 Notwithstanding that most of the city officials were selected at the last primary this contest Monday promises to be a closely contested one. The friends of the respective candidates are working hard and a fairly heavy vote will probably be po1led.
