Yn Police Court.


 There were only two cases on the docket in Police Court this morning. One of the cases was against a white man and the other was against a ne- gro who was charged with vagrancy. In the case against the white man only was there a fine assessed.
 Blakely Rogers was the white man in court and he was charged with dis orderly conduct. He lives in North Selma and there was In court four white ladies as witnesses. It seems that Rog- CTS and his wife had been for some time boarding with his mother in law. He became dissatisfied over some re- mark that she made when he went into the house Friday about noon. He de- cided to move and almost took his wife by force with him. The affair was re- ported to police headquarters as being a most disgraceful scene. At the con- ciusion of the trial Rogers was fined $40.
 Walter Cooper answered to the charge of vagrancy and as the case against him could not be made out he was discharged.

turned from Lunsford, Marion County, and other points in North Alabama, where he has been for the past two weeks. He reports that the plans of the Illinois Central Railroad looking to the running of an Independent track into Birmingham are assuming tanEi- ble shape. He states that the repre- sentatives of the company were trav- cling over the territory securing the right of way over certain properties and that they had already covered a good portion of the territory. In this regard Mir. Cooper said:
 '"The Illinois Central Railroad cer- tainly means business. They have se- cured the right-of-way on practically more than half of the property in the northeastern section of Alabama, and according to the contracts that have been made out they state that they will commence operations on the road during the next six months. I have let them have the right-of-way over considerable property of mine and they have agreed to pay me S5 an acre for the same. I am satisfied they mean business and that in a very short time we will have another road running in- to Birmingham direct from Chicago"
