RECORD OF THE COURTS.

Business In the courts was practically
finished on Friday night, with the ex-
ception of the circuit court, where the
the Alabama Steel and Wire company is
still on trial. From present indications it
is probable that the greater part of this
week will be taken up in the trial of this
case, the defendant not having concluded
the examination of it's witnesses.
In the cirtuit court yesterday Katherine
Wise and o. M. Wise administrators of
CUTLER Wise, filed suit against the Ala
bama Great Southern Railroad company
for $4,000 damages for the death of Quill
Ter Wise who, it is alleged, was killed in
the yards of the defendant by a wheel
falling on him, which plaintiffs aver had
been neglegently left without props to
prevent it falling.
Naturalization.
The following persons made application
in the circuit court yesterday for final
papers of naturalization:
Henry Blake Fields Canadian; Jacob
Zimmerman, Austrian; Mike Kastebrick.
Austrian
City court.
In the first and second divisions of the

the death of plaintiffs intestate, who is
alleged to have been killed by the ex-
plosion of steam boiler In the engine

chatham Blount VS.. w L. Delheim &
Co., is the title of a suit in which the
plaintiff claims $1,000 damages for personal
injuries, alleged to have been received
while in the employment of the defendant.
From the statement in the complaint it
appears that the plaintiff was on the
elevator taking goods TO an upper floor
when the defendant pulled the cord which
started the elevator, thereby causing
plaintiffs foot to be crushed and bruised.

lowing cases were submitted:

DISAPPEARED FROM
HOME YESTERDAY
r. M. MORRIS, GENTLEMAN ABOUT
EIGHTY YEARS OF AGE, CANNOT
BE FoUND-HIS MIND SLIGHTLY
UNBALANCED.

peculiar disappearance took place ar
East Birmingham yesterday morning
when F. M. Morris. about so years of age,
left his home at 4506 Tenth avenue.
Mr.. Morris's mind becomes slightly I'M
balanced at intervals, and yesterday
morning between 10 and u o'clock he left
home and started for Birmingham. Moth
ing was seen OF him or heard from him
until about o'clock yesterday evening
when he was found by one of the condue-
tors of the Gate City ear line near Hardie-
Tynes' foundry, on Twenty eighth street
and Eighth avenue. He was taken to the
dispatcher office on Eighth avenue and
Twenty-sixth street, and from there to
the general offices of the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company.
When asked his name he said 1t was
Morris, but could not tell where he lived.
1t was afterward ascertained through DR..
Ellis, who runs a drug store at Kingston,
that Mr. Morris lived in East Birming-
ham. He was then put on a Gate City
car and Dr. Ellis agreed to meet him at
Kingston. This was done and when the
old gentleman got off the car his mind
seemed to be perfectly balanced. He told
DR.. Ellis that he could get home alone,
and so started off down the road to his
home, which was about four blocks dis
tant. This was at about $50 o'clock last
night.
Since this time nothing has been heard
from Mr.. Morris. His son went out and
searched all over the neghborhood be-
tween his home and Kingston, but no
trace could be found. 1t Is thought that
Mr.. Morris is with some family who
doesn't know him and does not know
where to send him. No foul play Is sus-
pccted
