RECORD OF THE COURTS.

All the courts will be closed today on account of the elections.
 Out of thirty-six jurors summoned to serve in the circuit court only twelve could be secured. Judge Coleman com mented upon this fact, and said it showed how difficult it was to transact busi- ness in the courts when the people them selves refused to assist
 Circuit Court.
 The first case called in the circuit court yesterday morning was F. G. Morrison vs. Alabama Steel and Wire company. As the court had just concluded case. of the same nature last week, which had taken seventeen days to try, the prospect of another was appalling. Attorney For ney Johnston stated he was unwell, and not able to proceed, which excuse was held good grounds for a continuance. The case of E. A. Bennett vs. Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company is on trial.
 City Court.
 In the first division of the city court yesterday, after some progress had been made in the case of Will Taylor vs. Pio- neer Mining and Manufacturing com- pany, a consent judgment was rendered for the plaintiff for the sum of 5000.

lines of business with which he had been connected
 It will be remembered that about a year ago MT. Richey accepted the posi- tion of first vice president of the Sloss- Sheffield company. He was at that time assistant general superintendent of the western district of the Southern railway, with seven divisions under his jurisdic- tion.
 The record made by MT Richey with the Southern railway caused the Soss- Sheffield company to seek his services, and he entered into a three-years' con tract with that concern. Since he went with the Sloss company the Southern railway has made at least one effort to get him back, but at the time he could not see his way to accept the offer
 MT Richey and Mrs. Richey left the city two weeks ago, and during MT. Riehey's absence he rendered his resigna- tion and made certain arrangements with the Sloss company regarding the service contract that are said to be mutually agreeable

EVE OF ELECTION
 FOUND CITY GOOD
Police Have of Day-Fewest Arrests In Months-Patrol Wagon
 Idle.

On the eve of the state and county election. Birmingham was unusually quiet yesterday
 The police department practically had an off day, the total number of arrests being less than ten.
 Last night the city was unusually quiet and peaceful. Nothing occurred to draw the mounted men from their warm quar- ters, and not trip was made by the patrol wagon.
 Seldom has Birmingham been better.
 As one of the reasons producing this effect, the police department referred to the incorporation of the saloons of the city.

A serious wreck was averted last
Monday evening by the prompt ac-
tion of the engineer on 103. The train
was running at the rate of 40 miles an
hour near Toulon when the engineer
discovered the switch was open. He
put on the air brake and reversed the
engine and stopped after running a
short distance on the switch. The
section men declare the switch was
closed when they left there early in
the evening, and the crew of the
freight train passing through in the
aftereoon say they did not use the
switch.-Hays Republican.
