MAKING CHANGES
 IN GREEK CHURCH
CONSIDERABLE MONEY IS TO BE
 SPENT IN GETTING THE OLD
 SIMPSON CHURCH PROPERTY IN GOOD SHAPE.

The members of the Greek church, who have purchased the edifice formerly oc- cupied by the Simpson Methodist church at Nineteenth street and Avenue C. are making extensive changes in the building About $1000 are to be expended, and when the repairs are completed it Is expected that it shall be one of the prettiest of the smaller churches in Birmingham.
 The Greek church has a large mem bership in Birmingham, which Is rapidly growing They have been holding their services for some time in the Greek hall on Third avenue, but decided some time ago to build a church. When, 1t was found, however, that the Simpson Metho- dist church could be purchased 1t was de- cded to secure it and make changes to meet their requirements.
 The Greeks are very fond of attending their church services, and as a conse- quence their religious gatherings are al- ways large It aiso forms a place where they can meet their fellow countrymen, and the social feature forms a prominent part of their meetings. They are expect ing to get into their new church next Sunday, June l.

WANT SUBURBAN
 TRAINS RESUMED
Boswell of the A. G. s. Tells Commit. tee That Lack of Motive Power
 Prevents Resumption.

Because the Alabama Great Southern railway discontinued its suburban serv- ice on Sunday a protest was made by many citizens of the suburban districts, and petitions were presented to Superin- tendent Ralph E. Boswell yesterday, ask ing that he continue this service. The suburban train service was inaugurated last week in order to accommodate the people of the nearby suburban towns who live outside the city and transact busi- ness in Birmingham, and has been well patronized.
 At first the people used the railroad trains because they could get no street car service but when street car service was resumed hundreds of workers re- fused to use the cars and travelled by tn, steam railway. That this has been profitable to the Alabama Great South ern is shown by the reports at the union station, but since the street car service was fully re-established the management of the road decided to discontinue the trains and this was done Saturday night
 It is understood that Superintendent Boswell gave the facts to the committee that waited upon him yesterday and stated, after taking the question up with headquarters, that a lack of motive pow CT prevented the resumption of the serv ice.

touch with every part of his business not only in this city but in the south, with the result that his health is so seriously impaired that his physicians advise him to give up all attention to business.
 This is particularly disappointing to MT. Challfoux, especially at this juncture when his magnil4cent new building is practically completed, as he has worked upon this project foe the last ten years. Nov, however, that as a result of over work, both mental and physical, MT. Chalifoux is ordered by his physician to drop business altogether for the present, he has decided to rent or lease his entire new building and his son and son-in-law will attend to that business. Already a number of applications have been made to secure the building for a department store and there is little doubt that in short time it will be leased for that pur- pose.
 Several New York operators have been In town this week looking the building pver so that it is likely to be occupied hs soon as the interior is finished.

.DRUNKS THICK ON
 STREETS LAST NIGHT
Black Maria Kept on the Jump
 All Night
WERE "DITCH DRUNK"
Negro Has Throat Cut Near PantopIa and VIII Dle-Whlte Drunks Far Beyond the Usual
 Proportion.

Out of a clear sky the drunkards and disorderly prisoners poured into the city jail yesterday afternoon and evening, all of last week put together. In all kinds of manners, shapes and forms, riding, reclining, standing, cursing, ten at a load and all other positions. they came.
 Patrol Driver White had his hands full from start to finish, driving the black maria from one end of the city to the other on fast time. When the totals were footed fifty-four had been arrested and locked up, and thirty of them were be- tween that stage where they were so drunk they could walk with assistance and where they had to be carried.
 The majority of the whole ruled in favor of old corn and rye, and although the saloons were not open but eleven hours they seemed to- have made good use of their time. Three fellows were arrested charged with stealing whisky. They asked the bartender for one bottle and walked off with two. Policeman FL ledge caught them breaking the corks, and already we'll intoxicated. They swore that if they were removed from the rail- road yards the whole system would be thrown into confusion, yet they are now behind the bars.
 The town was full of drunken brawls last night, especially among the negroes. Every policeman could tell Of some fight on his beat, and the district known as Scratch Ankle was 8 continual quarrel
 The only fatal fight among the negroes was that in which a young negro who works at the Bijou theatre had his throat cut by Charley Braxderl, near the Pan topia on Third avenue. Leaving his vic tim lying in the middle of the street Charley ran off down Eighteenth street but Policeman Cole overlook him al Fourth avenue and had to pull him out from under a bed. The cut negro will die.
 The number of white men was out oi the usual proportion, and all were no half drunk, but ditch drunk. The double shift of policemen had their hands ful holding in the boys fast night.

TEMPORARY PLANS
 FOR UNION STATION
RAILROADS WILL CERTAINLY BE- GIN USE OF NEW STRUCTURE JULY TWILL BE FAR FROM FINISHED.

The unfinished condition of the new un- ion station has caused the circulation of rumors that the several roads which are to use the station would not move into the new terminal on July l. It was also rumored that the city ticket offices of the roads would not be opened up on this date.
 A visit yesterday to the new terminal station put at rest these rumors, for while there still remains a great deal to be done, the work on the south end of the building is progressing rapidly and Superintendent Cunning declared that there is no doubt that the station will be ready for occupation on July 1. By this Is meant the south end of the new depot for the main central portion is hardly begun and the north end is not nearly completed.
 The great viaduct, forming an under ground continuation of Fifth avenue, is fast nearing completion and the west end Is in good shape, with Twenty y-sixth street filled in and ready for the street car tracks.
 Temporary sheds are being erected on
  of $9O,O0O to handle the fifty passenger trains of the five roads which will trans fe- their activities from the old Louis vile and Nashville station.
 The waiting room at the south end Of tho station is nearly ready for occupa- tion as well as the long baggage shed extending along the train sheds. The concrete paving Is being laid in the train sheds and Is about half completed. Su- penintendent Dunning said that there is tremendous amount of work to be done during the month of June, but that it will all be completed in time for the first trains on the contract date.
 One of the two high towers of the sta tio. is almost finished, while the second one is under headway. The foundations for the main waiting room have been placed and the walls will soon be erected.
