RAILROAD NOT LIABLE.
City Took Job of Maintaining sixth
Avenue Viaduct.

The Santa Fe railroad through W.
c. Garyey informed the council today
that any claims made upon it for re-
pairs on the East Sixth avenue viaduct
had been waived upon agreement with
the council in 1889, at which time the
viaduct was built. The agreement was
based on the payment of $4,000 by the
railroad towards the construction of
the viaduct. It seems that a portion
of the viaduct did not cover the rail-
road right of way though the estimates
as first drawn figured on this. A dis
pute arose as to whether the city or
the railroad should assume the cost of
the portion of the viaduct not over the
right of way. The compromise reached
was that the railrcad assumed the ex-
pense but the city let them out of the
maintenance.
Charles F. Spencer also called at
tention To this ordinance.

DAMAGES THE PAVEMENT.
DR.. j. e. NEinney's Protest About Tent
shows on Streets.

Many people who are in sympathy
with the movement to beautify the
city, and especially the appearance of
the streets of the city, are quite indig-
nant over the councils action in
allowing the Nichols Amusement
company to tear up Seventh street as
they see tit. DR.. Minney in talking
about the matter this morning pro-
tested against the granting of the priv
Hege to the show people.
81 do not know" said Mr.. Minney,
''w neither 1t has been generally OBJ
served that the pavement is likely to
be permanently injured by the pro
cess employed by the Nichols people
in stalking their tents. The bricks on
the surface of the pavement are re-
moved and the heavy iron stake pins
are driven through the underlying
portions, which completely destroys
what is below It will be only a short
time after the surface brick are again
placed in position until they will be-
gin to sink down, leaving depressfons
an the pavement. 7 would suggest to
the city officials that attention be given
to this matter and that they insist
upon the show people leaving the
pavement in permanent repair"

PLEASED WITH MODES.
Their Voluntary Action Against Haz-
 ing Meets With Favor.

Annapolis, Md, February 20.-The sub committee on naval affairs of the House of Representatives resumed it's session at the Naval academy this afternoon, all of its members being present except Representative Loud. who has been called to his home in Michigan
 The only witness before the committee was Capt. George P. Colvocoresses. com mandant of midshipmen and head of the department of discipline of the Naval academy. The session was not open to the public, but at it's close it was stated by members of the committee that Cap tain Colyocoresses' report was very lengthy and thorough. He was ques- tioned closely as to the attitude of those having charge of the conduct of the mid shpmen towards them.
 Most of the committee have expressed themselves as very much gratified at the action taken by the midshipmen in the matter. Representative Padgett said to- night that the greatest importance was to be attached to this acion, as it was the result of a free movement on the part of midshipmen, not only without threat or hope of favor, but without even a suggestion having been made to them. The members of the committee expect similar action by the third class.

DELEGATES RETURN
 IN FINE SPIRITS
Urged Especial Need on Bench of Man Familiar With Affairs In the
 Mineral Belt.

The delegation of Birmingham lawyers that went to Montgomery to urge the appointment of Samuel D. Weakley to the chief justiceship returned last night. The party consisted of E. K. Campbell, Au- gustus Benners, N. L. Miller, John w. Tomlnson, c. w. Hickman, w. c. Gar rett, ex-Chancellor John c. Carmichael, Morris Loveman, Charles G. Brown, Frank Deedmeyer, John A. Mitchell, J. T. Glover, Vassar Allen, George Huddleson, Felix Blackburn, C. c. NeSmith, John London, II. P Hehin, John c. Pugh, John c. Forney, Henry Howze, Frank s. White, Jr, and few others
 The members of the bar returning from Montgomery were naturally in high feath- CT over MT. Wealdeys appointment.
 Mir Campbell managed the Weakley forces. It was arranged that various members of the delee.. ton should make short talks before the governor, pressing the particular points in advocacy of the claims of their candidate.
 It did not come to MT. Deedmeyer's turn to make a speech but this well known member of the bar and paintalSing chron- icler of events said on alighting from the train at the Union passenger station: "Fhe talks before the executive were admira- ble. Each one of the speakers presented out in succienct form some special req son why Mir. Wealley should be the chief justice. All alluded to MT. Weakley's general fitness and his singularly fine capacity. And each accentuated this or that phase of MT. Weakley's qualifca- tions.
 'One of the strongest claims urged for our man. outside of all round ability and sterling Integrity, was the fact that more new and complex cases coming before the supreme court originated in the Birming- ham district than in any other section of Alabama; and that such being the case it was important that a man like Weak ley, familiar with the technical language in vogue here and the industrial questions arising in the mineral belt should be on the supreme bench.
 "The members of the Jefferson county bar feel that MT. Weakley will make a fine chief justice'
 The Birmingham lawyers say that MT WealSley received a wonderfully strong endorsement from Mobile. as well as from all the cities of Northern Alabama.

STAND BY FREE TRADE.
House of Commons Discusses the Ad-
 dress to the Throne.

London, February 20.-The House of Commons devoted the entire day and night sessions to a desultory debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne. Among the motions of which notice was given the following will be moved from the government benches:
 ''The House of Commons, recognizing the general decision of the people of the United Kingdom in demonstrating un- qualified fidelity to the principles of free trade, deems it right to record it's de- termination to resist any proposals, whether for the taxation of foreign corn or by the erection of a general tariff on foreign goods, which will create a sys- tenn of protection
 This resolution will be moved after the adoption of the address. It Is under stood that the Duke of Devonshire will move similar resolution in the House of Lords.
 Irish unionists will move an amendment to the address condemning the proposed changes in the government of Ireland as tending in the direction of home rule. This is intended to draw from the gov ernment the declaration of its policy with regard to Ireland.

 AS VESSEL SINKS
STEAMER SWAN GOES DOWN ABOVE SAVANNAH AND ONE NE GRO IS DROWNED AND THREE OTHERS ARE MISSING.

Savannah, Ga, February 2O.-At an early hour this morning the steamer Swan. bound for Augusta, went down. seventeen miles above Savannah. Capt. J. E. Carroll endeavored to find shelv- ing place to beach her, but could not do so in time. and only her nose was run against a bank. She sank by the stern and there was great confusion aboard. The lights went out which added to the disorder, and a number of the negro passengers and crew jumped overheard
 One negro was drowned and three oth- CTS supposedly drowned are missing. It is not known how the steamer was sunk. She can probably be refoated but the cargo, it is thought, Is a total loss. The passengers were brought back to Savan- nah at late hour tonight.
