A special officer placed on the street car system to prevent violations of the anti-spitting ordinances of the city. has made two arrests, well-known citizens being placed under bond In the Infe- rior Criminal Court this afternoon the men were fined S2.50 each and Judge Feagin announced that hereafter the fine on this charge will be $5, and a little later this sum will be increased. Tho street car officials made complaint to the chief of police that the anti splitting law was being violated so ex- tensively in their cars as to give them much trouble. An officer was detailed in citizens clothing to watch for these offenders and two arrests were made.

'hy stock dealers. This is matter , which has received attention of former administrations, but it was not deemed advisable at the time to change the provisions of section 1046 of the City Code of Montgomery, which Is the only law we now have upon the subject apreciate the fact that the growth Of this business here has ben such as to place Montgomery In the foremost ranks as mule market. While desire to lend all possible assistance tn the gentlemen engaged in the business, at the same time. I believe the present method of transferring mules from one section of the city to another to be dangerous to both life and property, particularly since the location of a ma Jorfty of the stables are such as to make 1t necessary for large portion of the mules to be driven through some Of our principal streets.
 As view the matter. the only prop~ CT method to be adopted is that the mules be tied together ir lots of not more than five or six and led through the streets in this manner. recomend carrying this suggestion Into effect.

Action of Council.

Although the veto of the Mayor was sustained by a unanimous vote, the sustaining veto had a string tied to it |. Practically every member of the Coun- ell made a short talk explaining that they did not agree with the Mayor as to his idea against a percentage tax but they all wanted to get the matter beFore the Council again and therefore sustained the veto.
 It will be remembered that the Trac- tion Company positively refused to ac- cept the terms of the ordinance as adopted and stated that unless the pro- visions providing for a percentage tax and the payment of $5,0oG to allow the tracks to remain on Dexter Avenue and Montgomery Streets were stricken out of the ordinance, there would be no connection of lines and each line would be operated separately.
 The Aldermen believe that if the or dinance could get before them again an amieable agreement could be reached with the Traction Company. Therefore they were anxious to get another whack at the tangled proposition.
 The Mayors veto was quickly sus- tained and a new ordinance will be pre- pared by the Joint Committee on Streets and Judiicary.

Juror on n Couch.

A sick juror lying on a couch hear ing evidence upon which he was to deliberate was an unusual scene pre- sented in the criminal court today. The case was that of the State against young Jesse Yarbrough, who killed J. Van Phillips, near Lewisburg, in North Birmingham. in December, 1904, in self-defense, as he claims, but who Is on trial charged with murder. The case was on trial all day Saturday, but was not completed. and from present indications, will not be until Wednes- day.
 This morning when court convened, J. J. Kimbro of North Birmingham. who is on the jury, informed Judge Greene that he was unwell and was unable to sit in the jury box, but he thought if he had a couch to lie upon he could continue his service as a jury man without interruption. According Iy, Judge Greene had a couch brought into the court room and the sick juror lay upon 1t during the morning session of the court. At noon County Physi- clan J. D. Heacock attended the juror and 1t is believed he will be able to serve through the trial.

An Innovation in Umbrellas

1he signature umbrella is the very newest feature at our umbrella depart ment. It is so good that we think many people will want it as soon as they see it. This feature Is made by cutting the owners name out of solid silver and putting the same on the fin- est natural wood or silver handles. The name is in fac-simile signature, and gives a personality to the umbrella that increases it's value immensely. Among the really swell people at the present time this innovation is greatly appreciated. Call at our Umbrella De- partment and see the samples that we have there.
