WILL REBUILD
THE WINGW ALL

The upper wingwall of the approach
to the river bridge on the Danylile
side of the river, which has forme d
the subject of so much discussion of
late. is TO be rebuilt by the County
Commissioners.
A joint meeting of the Board OF
County Commissioners and the Streets
and Bridges Committee OF Council was
held yesterday morning to come to
some understanding relative to the ap-
proach TO the bridge. The full board
of Commissioners. Messrs. Cook, Coop
er aud Leighow, was present along
with Messrs Vastine, Reifsnyder, Boy
er and Dietrich OF the Committee on
Streets and Bridges.
After looking over the grounds the
party Withdrew to the Grand Jury
room W here some time was spent in
discussion. The jurisdiction of the
Borough extends up the approach only
six or eight feet, the width of the pave
ment on the South Side of Front
street. The committee of Council took
the view that the approach should
have sidewalks and were determined to
live up to their convictions by install
ling curb, on each side as far as the
Borough's jurisdiction extends.
The County Commissioners, however,
had resolved not to maintain a side
walk on the approach, but to pave from
wingwall to wingwall. The inter
change of thought was futile to change
tie plans of either the Committee or
| the Board Of Commissioners and the
work will have to be completed ac-
cordingly, paving the entire width of
the approach down 10 the borough s
line, where a sidewalk with the usual
curbing will break the surface.
The subject of wiugwall was next
taken up by the County Commission
ers. Whether to rebuild the upper
wingwall or to try to overcome the de-
feet in some way in fixing up the ap-
proach was the question. Engineer
Leonard Saturday, made a practical
suggestion as 10 remedying the defect,
which found favor with some. Others
perhaps the larger number saw no
other remedy than the tearing down of
the wall and rebuilding it at differ

TO the popular sentiment and decided
/ 10 erect a new wingwall. The pres
ent wall will be permitted to stand,
/ ouly the coping being removed. The
1 new wingwall will be built on line
with upper sidewalk of the bridge and
/ will extend just as far as tie one built
by the bridge contractors. A heavy
ourbing will extend from the end OF
the wall at the same angle down to
Front street. The effect Of this will
be not only to remove an ugly defect
which detracts much from the appear
ances but also to widen out the ap-
proach, making travel more convent
ent.
The building OF the wall was let to
ID. j. Rogers. who in order that no de-
lay might occur, began work yesterday
afternoon. A Large quantity of stone
on the spot will be used in the new
wall. The work will proceed rapidly
and will probably be completed about
the time street paving is finished

TALKS OF RABB CASE
E. C. PAGE THROWS MORE LIGHT
 ON EVERGREEN CRIME.
Law Partner of Young Mans Father Corrects Statements Made as to Assault on Young
 WOmnn.

While in Montgomery yesterday on business trip Edmund c. Page of Ev- ergreen, law partner of Leslie Rabbs father, gave out a statement of the cir cumstances of the affair in: which young Rabb is alleged to have assault ed Miss Barrow in Evergreen August 20. MT. Pages presentation brings out new and entirely different facts from those published heretofore as coming from Evergreen.
 In the first place. Mir. Page declares that there are witnesses to prove that young Rabb did not make a precipitate flight from Evergreen the night of the alleged crime On the contrary, the fugitive was seen the Monday follow ing the Sunday night of Miss Bar rows injury In her company on the streets of Evergreen. It is common knowledge In Evergreen, according to MT Page, that Rabb did not leave the town until Tuesday.
 There has also been a misrepresen- tation of the facts about the couple coming together the night the assault Is said to have been committed" said the partner of the young mans father He had an engagement with her to go to church. That Is true. But he did not go to her home In the country, however, to get her She was board ing with q family in town and 1t was to her boarding house that he went for her. There were no services at the church, they found out after starting, and they decided to take a walk. He accompanied her back to her boarding house after the walk and did not drive her through the country to her home which Is twelve miles out.
 Not a word was breathed of any thing out of the ordinary until the re- port was scattered abroad tho Tuesday following. On Monday intervening young Rabb and Miss Barrow were Aeen by several people walking togeth- CT and there was not a suspicion of their relations being disturbed. Tues day, I believe, he left Evergreen and has not been seen since, that I know of. IL Is untrue that hls father has come to Montgomery to provide his son with money with which to get out of reach of the authorities"
 Instead of the feeling of the com munity being violent against young Rabb, Mr.. Page said last night, the

 Miss Barrow, said Mir. Page. is about 2S years old and Rabb Is 21. The lat ter's father is one of the most promi- nent and highly respected citizens in Conecuh County and much sympathy Is expressed for him on account of the alleged conduct of his son.
 Sheriff W. W. PNdgen of Conecuh County came to Montgomery yesterday and had a half-tone cut made of a photograph of Rabb. This cut will be used to reproduce the likeness of the fugitive on some circulars which will be sent to the chiefs of police and oth- CT authorities over the country with the aim of having him captured. There Is a reward of $400 outstanding for the capture of Rahb and delivery to the Sheriff of Montgomery County Of this amount $l00 was offered by a brother of the woman, S100 by citizens of Ever green and $2O0 by the State of Ala bama. ...s- 4-+7

They Must Spend the Regulation Quar-

Prof G N. Miteham. who has charge of the Department of Mining and En- gineering at Auburn, said yesterday that the prospects at Auburn were that the Alabama Polytechnic Institute would have the most successful year in It's history.
 The Institute opens Wednesday" said Professor Mitcham. The advance reports that we have received as to the attendance have been most gratifying. The presence of yellow fever in New Orleans and In some of the Mississippi coast towns will not in the least affect the attendance. The quarantine against Louisiana and the lower portion of Mis- s!ssippi will not interfere with the opening at Auburn. We will not have very many young men from Louisiana and they can go through the State to Atlanta to spend their quarantine pc riod. Then after the quarantine law of the State has been compiled with they can come into Auburn and enter college During the fever excitement

 Dr. W. H. Sanders, State Health Of- ficer. returned to Montgomery yester- day morning after his trip to Mobile and Flomaton. He reports that ar engagements are complete for the relay station for train crews at the latter Junction. It Is patterned after the sta tion at Grand Bay just within the State from the Mississippi line and where crews are exchanged for fresh ones on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad on trains that come out of New Or leans through the coast towns. At Flo maton the express and mail clerks are also taken off, their places being taken by fresh employees to come into Ala bama.
 On his way to Montgomery from Mo bile Dc. Sanders said he looked into what was reported to have been sus- picious case of fever at Morriston in Baldwin County. He was accompanied by Dr. C. A. Mohr. of Mobile, and as stated in The Advertiser of yesterday, the reported case was an absolute coun- terfeit It was that of woman who was feeling so healthy when the doc tors arrived at her home that she be- came indignant almost that she should have been the target for false rumors. The woman soon satisfied Dr. Sanders and Dr Mohr an dthey departed con vinced of the non est in the case.
 Dr. Sanders announced also yesterday that he felt unable to make any con sessions to nonresident students who wish to attend Alabama colleges from infected points.
