Christmas day had very little of the
holiday aspect to the members of the
Birmingham fire department. The ladies
were kept unusually busy the entire day,
and when night fell, they were tired ana
ready for their beds.
In all eleven alarms were turned In.
and eleven runs made. None of the fires
amounted to a financial loss of any seri-
Gus amount. The majority of the fires
were caused from sparks on the roof and
defective fiues becoming ignited.

ELKS MAKE MANY
CHILDREN HAPPY
Christmas Tree Is Laden With Gifts
for Poor ChiIdren-Hundreds of
Presents Given Away.

Yesterday afternoon the Birmingham
lodge of Elks gave its annual Christmas
tree entertainment to the children of
Birmingham, and right enjoyable oc-
casion it was Over COO children were
made happy and many that stood outside
were afterwards taken into the hall and
had their pockets, as well as their per-
sons, filed with the good things which
were being given away.
A Christmas tree nearly forty feet high
was erected at the end of the building
and from it's branches were suspended a
wealth of presents consisting of drums,
trumpets, dolls, and everything which
can make a Christmas season joyous to
children. Henry Tomppert acted the part
of Santa Claus and made himself equal to
the occasion by his good humor and pleas
ant manner.
The committees which had been APP
pointed were on hand and materially
helped to make the event one OF the
most successful and enjoyable which has
been given by the Elks, and the hum
dreds~ of happy children which left the
building were an eloquent tribute to
the good nature which actuates the order
of Elks upon such occasions.
Among those who especially contributed
to the success of the occasion were
Mr.. L. n. Archer and Mr.. r. N. Wheeler,
who had been specially delegated to
superintend the entertainment and to
whom the success of the whole matter
is to large extent due.

THE HEART IN "BUZZARD
RooST."

The usual case of an accidentally fired
bullets striking two negroes in their re-
spective right legs, came to the notice
of the police yesterday afternoon on Sec
ond avenue and Twenty-thlrd street.
When Officer Tully, attracted by pis-
toll shot reached the scene. he found two
negroes lying upon the ground, both shot
in the right leg. Both negroes declared
that another negro, unknown to them,
while examining a weapon, accidentally
shot them. Only one bullet was fired, and
it struck both negroes in spots nearly
Identical. The officer made no arrests, as
both of the wounded men stated that the
shot was accidentally fired.

The parents of Miss Dorothy Strong, the
woman who committed suicide at 1707
Avenue E last Sunday afternoon, were
located by the police yesterday. The in
formation came from j. w. Wyker, a
well known merchant of Decatur, and the
message was to the effect that the pa
rents of the woman are living now at
Fredericllstown, o., and that they were
quite wealthy and well to do. Other than
this, Mr.. WySer knew nothing. The father
OF the deceased is Clayton Strong.
This information will be turned over to
the coroner this morning. The investiga-
tion of the coroner will be continued this
morning at o'clock, and unquestionably
that official will send a telegram to the
father of the woman. Since Sunday night
at II o'clock the body has been at the

FRONT WINDOW SMASHED

For the second time within the space of
six weeks, the storehouse of the Birming-
ham Arms and Cycle company, Second
avenue, between Nineteenth and Twen-
tieth streets, was robbed early Christmas
morning.
The thief satisfied himself with eleven
Smith & Wesson revolvers and four Colts,
the loss amounting to nearly $3.50 No clue
as to the identity of the guilty person is
available The matter was reported to po-
lice headquarters yesterday morning, and
detectives are making an effort to appre-
bend the thief. Circulars are being sent
out to all the cities in neighboring states,
the circulars giving the numbers of the
frevolvers. 1t is hoped that in this way
the weapons may be recovered, even IL

Smashed in Glass.
The most marvellous feature of the
robbery was the bold means employed to
make an entrance. The glass to one OF the
front windows was smashed. The par
ticles of glass from the broken window
We're found as far back as twenty feet
from the place of entrance, and 1t Is
therefore a certainty that the blow was
a terrific one 1t is believed that the
window was smashed with plank. TAX
ing into consideration the facts that a
policeman is stationed on that beat, that
the streets were fairly well filed with
people all during the night, and that
a light is continually burning in the
store, it is evident that the thief was
one of the boldest and most daring OF
all who have operated here.
Another Burglary.
IT, is thought that the man broke the
window and then continued up Second
avenue. After seeing that no one had
heard the crash he very probably re-
turned. entered the store and committed
the robbery.
Some weeks ago thieves entered the
store of the Birmingham Arms and Cycle
company and stole numerous pistols and
other things The robbers at that time
entered by means of the skylght. The
p,ass was broken and the thief entered
