K outward aspect of Morris's auntie on
the day of her union to the promising
young salesman who was now floor
walker, and Morrss Uncle 1kcy.
NIomentarily they expected some word
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS even an e-cream
party-but Teacher made no sign They
decided that she was reserving her last
words for their private ear and were
greatly Disconnected to find themselves
turned out with the common herd at
O'Clock. With heavy hearts they fol-
lowed the example OF Mary's little lamb
and waited patiently about ill Teacher
did appear. When she came she was
more wonderful than ever, in long
and billowy boa and a wide and BILL
lowy hat. She had seemed in breath
less hurry while up in Room IS, but
now she stood quite placidly in group
of her small adherents on the highest
of the schoolhouse steps. And the cab
met. waiting gloomily apart, only NUT
tered II told We so,' and 1T must be
awful feeling" when the tall stranger
came swinging upon the scene. One OF
his hands was held stihly in the pocket
OF the baggy coat the other carried
gloves and cane. When Teachers
eyes fell upon him she began to force
her way through her clinging court,
and when he was half way up the steps
he drew from his pocket the hand and
the violets 1t held and Tteacher was
still adjusting the flowers in her jacket
when she passed, with flushed cheeks
and shining eyes, within touch, but
without knowledge, Of her lurking
staff.
II didn't expect you at ALL" she wal
saying. "You know it was not really
definite arrangement, and men hate re.
ceptions."
The gloom observing Patrick's spirit
on that evening was Of SO deep dye
that Mrs. Brennan diagnosed 1t as tho
first stage of "a consumption" She
administered simple remedies and
warm baths with perseverance,. but
without effect. But more potent to
cure than bath or bottle was the sight
of Teacher on the next morning in her
accustomed clothes and place.
The board of monitors had hardly
recovered from this panic when another
alarming symptom appeared. Miss
Bailey began to watch for letters. and

We're OF the opinion that things looked
very dark for Teacher. Said Nathan:
You know how she says we should

MRS. VON BERNOWITz
 TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
JUDGE RULES THAT SHE MUST GO TO OHIO, BUT IT IS UNDER STOOD NEW PROCEEDINGS WILL BE BEGUN.

Judge Samuel L. Weaver rendered his decision in the Carrie von Bernowltz case yesterday afternoon dismissing the petition for writ of habeas corpus and deciding that Mrs. von Bernowitz should be remanded to the custody of the agent for the state of Ohio, where she IS charged with bigamy. Notes on the docket further show that a forfeiture of bond was taken against the petitioner yester- day afternoon for failure to appear in court. Consequently an attachment was issued for her and she was re-arrested late yesterday evening but 1t is under stood that her attorneys got out new proceedings and Mrs. von Bernowitz was again released on bond last night. The case looks somewhat muddled.
 The following ruling in the case was en- tered on the court docket by Judge Weaver yesterday:
 This cause coming on to be heard was submitted on the writ of habeas corpus. The attorney for the agent of the state of Ohio made motion to dismiss the peti- tion for writ of habeas corpus and that the petitioner be remanded to the custody of the agent, Bumbli, or to the sheriff of Jefferson county, and after hearing the argument of the counsel it is my opinion that said motion should be granted and is hereby granted and the sheriff of Jeffer- son county is required to receive the body of the petitioner into his custody, and she is remanded to his custody and to safely detain her until due application be made for her by Hi Bumbli, the alleged authorized agent for the state of Ohio, as per direction contained in the order in his possession, together by and with. the authority of the warrant issued by B. B. Conner, governor of the state of Ala bama." .a
 Under this order the following was writ ten on the docket:
 Forfeiture taken on petitioners bail and it is ordered that an attachment be issued returnable instanter for the ar rest of the petitioner.
 The attachment was issued and Mrs. von Bernowitz was rearrested, but she was not imprisoned in the county jail last night. The outcome of the matter at this time looks doubtful.

HANDLED 5o,073
 CARS LAST MONTH
December Will Show Falling Off, But This Years Total Will Be
 Above 1906.

The report of the Alabama Car Serv- ice association for the month of No vember was made yesterday morning. The report shows that the railroads of the state during November handled 56073 cars.
 The number of cars handled by the railroads for the first seleven months of this year as against the first eleven months of last year. is an increase of about 50,000.
 In spite of the fact that there will probably be decrease this month, as compared to the number of cars handled in December last year, the indications are that this years total movement of cars will be an increase over the total of last year of between 10000 and 45,000.

ENGINEER KILLED
 IN L. & N. WRECK
SoUTHBoUND PASSENGER COL LIDEs WITH FREIGHT NEAR CALERA-THREEA ARE INJURED, NONE OF THEM PASSENGERS.

Southbound Louisville and Nashville vile and Nashville freight No. IS, col lided yesterday evening at 6:30 o'clock, one mile south of Calera, on the main line.
 As a result of the collision, Engineer James D. Hayes of the freight, is dead, Engineer Dave Watts of the passenger, is seriously injured, and Ben Shea, mail clerk, and J. D. Long, thought to have been a tramp, ares lightly injured, and bruised. No passenger was hurt.
 The body of Engner Hayes was brought to Birmingham last night on No. 4, which on account of the wreck, was de- layed for three and half hours. The deceased lived at 1519 Eighth avenue, and is survived by a wife. He was about 40 years of age, and has been connected with the Louisville and Nashville for many years.
 The extent of the other injuries could not be learned at the chief dispatcher 8 office last night. Superintendent Brooks, immediately after learning of the col- lision, went to Calera with the wrecker.
 The two engines are badly damaged. Several of the cars of both trains were damaged Several of the freight cars were derailed, this interfering with traf- flee, delaying all trains. north and south bound
 The cause of the wreck is not known. The passenger left Birmingham an hour and ten minutes late, and it is thought probable that the freight crew overlooked this fact. However, the cause will not be made known until after the official investigation.
 From reports received at the dispatch er's office in Birmingham. it is evident that the engineers had fair control of their engines before coming together. Had it not been so the wreck would have been more serious. and probably many peo- pie killed. That no passenger sustained injury is considered marvellous.

HOLD UP ARTISTS
 ARE AGAIN AT WORK
TWO BOLD RoBBERIES PULLED OF LAST NIGHT-oNE MAN RE LEVIED OF $too AT POINT OF PISTOL.

Two audacious hold-ups occurred on the streets of Birmingham last night. They
 were both done courteously and with formality. One of the highwaymen kindly allowed his victim to hand over the cash without being searched, while the other lifted his drunken benefactor into a vacant lot and relieved him of the valu- able part of his load.
 Charles T. Walker was returning to his room on Third avenue early last night, when a well dressed middle-aged white man simply walked up to him near TWenty-third street, placed a pistol at
 his chest and demanded that he hand over his roll of money. MT. Walker had nearly $100 on his person, which he straightway
 gave up, and he went on home without 1t. that's all
 In the other case Fred Baker carried drunken white man into a vacant lot
 near Twenty-eighth street and robbed him of $40 and gold watch. He was caught a few minutes later by Policemen Parker and Burge.
 The purse snatching especially around the railroad stations, has increased re-
 gently. A big gang of burglars is also
 breaking into stores in the business sec
 tion, and the police department is on the run to keep up with robberies -~~~~>~~-~~~~~~~~~~~~ ments on downtown property is only about twice the amount the property yields in rent per year.
 We should have commission similar r n haf in
 property and if he kicks and says it is too high they say all right, then we will get you purchaser at the figure we have named.'
 Drennen Says Reduce Salaries.
 With the raises necessary to be made in order to meet the current expenses of the city it is necessary that theres be an increase in the license schedule" said former Mayor W. M. Drennen last night Ut is expected that it will be necessary to reduce the expenses in most of the mercantile establishments and the city should reduce its expenses likewise. There should be reduction in the salaries of the citys employees. It has been so with the railroads, and it is conceded that it will be this way with the mercantile lines. It is useless to talk about reducing the license schedule. Every cent is needed"
 Wants Street Tax Levied.
 There ought to be a street tax levied which would catch the floating popula- tion, including the negroes, who never pay any property tax or any other kind of tax said w. D. Wood, president of the Wood-Dickerson Lumber company, last night. "A street tax would do away with this increase in license, which is anything but just. There should be decrease in the expenses of the municipal government. There will be fewer arrests, in fact the jail can be done away with and rented when prohibition comes in. The increase in licenses is undoubtedly excessive and should not be allowed If there is any other possible way of arrang- ing matters"

 Asked About Other Trades.


 The defendant was asked if he had ever solicited business from W. P. G. Harding, president of the First National bank. His reply was q have never so- licited any business from MT. Hard ing. l frequently saw him when I went to the bank and he very often stopped me and we discussed the cotton market. MT. Harding once asked me about getting the account of Gilbert X Clay, which was with another bank He also spoke to me about how correct his prognostca- tion had been in regard to the price of cotton, and how much he would have made had he gone into the market. He also said, but, of course, my position will not allow me to do such a thing. He told me, however, that his father-in- law MT Moore, might and that he would see if he could get him to turn over his business to my concern"
 As to whether or not Walker Percy ever bought cotton on margin, Sims said: Walker Percy had several trades with us, his number being PA One of these transactions, I think was during February at the time of Chisolms trad ing. I understood that MT. Percy was one of the directors of the First Ma tional bank"
 The defendant did not recall any other director of the bank who had dealt in margins with Gilbert x Clay, but pro- ceeded to tell about other business. Gov ernment's counsel was on its feet like flash with another very strenuous nh uyhi ioI, fai i,,a ad Nn pa pc were mentioned by Sims of these other directors.
 He also satted Chisolm had given him cashiers checks on the last two trans actions, stating that his friend Webster had an account at the bank, but did not wish his checks for such large amount payable to Gilbert & Clay to be passed through his account. He also told of how, after Chisolm had advised him that his friend Webster could not give Gilbert & Clay power of attorney that he had communicated this information to his home office at New Orleans, and had received instructions to close the con tract with Webster, which he did.

ed that the system OF having sheriffs
take the insane from their homes to

that attendants from the institutions
be delegated to do this work. This
Is argued from both the humane side
and the expense. 1t is pointed out
that families do not like to see one of
their members In the hands Of an
officer sheriff gets 10 cents per

by having the attendants do this at
