coTTER GOES TO SAVANNAH.
Is Appointed Superintendent of Trans
 portation of Central of Georgia.

J. J. Cotter, trainmaster of the Birming- ham division of the Central of Georgia railway, has been appointed surerintend- ent of transportation of the Central with headquarters at Savannah, to relieve C. L. Candler, who is away on a leave of absence of several months to recover his health.
 MT. Cotter has been with the Central in Birmingham two or three months. The position of trainmaster here was recently created and he was the initial holder of the office. Previous to that he was in- spector of transportation and spent a great deal of time in Birmingham watch ing after the movement of the company coal.
 MT. Candler has been i'll for some time and recently had an operation performed, from which he has not entirely recovered. The physicians advised him to take long rest and he will go to California for three or four months.
 At one time Mir Cotter was superin- tendent of the Southern here and after ward went north where he was connected with one of the large northern and vest ern roads,

GREEK IS ROBBED
 OF HIS SAVINGS
PARTNER DISAPPEARS WITH $4oo,
 LEAVING MESSAGE THAT HE IS
 OFF FOR THE OLD COUNTRY. RAN RESTAURANT TOGETHER.

When the excitement had finally worked out of Creeks tongue yesterday, he finally managed to impress upon Detective Bodeker just what was his particular maIady It seems that the poor fellow had been robbed of everything he had in the world, the hoard of savings that he had cared for so long.
 Panoriotic Caritchotis was his partner in a restaurant at 1872 First avenue. which they had been running together for sev- eral months They had a safe of small size which was the storehouse for all their treasures, or s4O0 in round cash.
 Panogiotis worked from 12 o'clock mid night until 12 o'clock noon, while the other Creek took the other shift. It seems that when the long-named fellow went away on Saturday he proceeded to rife the safe, take everything in sight, and catch a train for 'the ol-o-country." At midnight the forlorn Greek went to the safe to take a peep at the savings. and was mortified to find them all gone. He rushed with all haste to find his partner to break the sad news, but no partner could be found. He discovered from a friends that the fellow had left town and so carried his tale os woe to the police. Telegrams have been sent ahead in the hope of intercepting him, and in the meanwhile the loser is walking the floor and tearing bis hair.

63 RUNS MADE TO
 FIRES IN MARCH
PROPERTY LOSS, HOWEVER, WAS SMALLER THAN IN FEBRUARY. TOTAL WILL NOT BE OVER EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The past month has been a record breaker for little fires. The average has been two day-the total number of alarms amounting to sixty-three. This is any other month this year. But for all that the fire loss has been comparatively small While February losses ran to $1S,- 00O they will not total more than $S0OO for March.
 This is accounted for by the fact that there has not been a disastrous fire in the business section, as the little blaze in the Dude saloon building, which will be torn down this week, caused the only damage to amount to anything. The burning of a residence and damage to others on Eighth street and First avenue last week will probably total $15O0.
 Other than these the fires have merely been negro houses or flames on the roof negro servant house was destroyed yes terday afternoon at the corner Of Four teenth avenue and St. Charles street.
 The stations are in fine shape, and re- markable time is always made in re- spending to calls. The fact that 545, the number of the fire department telephone, is being printed conspicuously on the tele- phone books. has assisted materially in getting the calls in time to reach the res- idences,

FITTED FOR NEW WORK.
Duncan Will Take Steps to Guard
 Against Disease in Animals.

The appointment of F. M. Duncan of this city as state live stock inspector un- der the sanitary stock legislation laws passed recently is great thing for the city
 As MT. Duncan is already city bac- teriologist, milk and meat inspector, his duties as stock inspector will fit right in with his other work. The city labra- tory is adequately supplied with every thing necessary for making tests of dis eases and aiding in eXterminating them.
 The duties of the new office will be to detect diseases, and immediately take steps to eradicate them. Mr. Duncan could make test of glanders and have the animal killed inside of an hour. This work is becoming national, as national veterinarians are now in the state CO., operating with State Veterinarian Cary.
 Mir. Duncan intends to go to work wig orously and stamp out the contagious dis eases among the dumb brutes of the city and district.

RAILROAD CASE AT REST TILL MAY 8 Both Sides Preparing for Big
 Legal Battle THIRTY DAYS FOR ANSWER Railroads Testing Rate Laws as Well as Act Prohibiting Removal ot
 Cases to Federal Courts by
 Foreign Corporations.
THIRTY DAYS FOR ANSWER

The case of the railroads against the railroad commission and the attorney general of Alabama is "at rest uhlll May s. At that time Judge Jones or the United States court will hear the case and decide on issuing a permanent in- function or dissolving the temporary re- straining order.
 Attorneys for the railroads and also those representing the state have re- turned iron, Montgomery, where a hear ing was had Saturday to determine oh the issuing of a temporary lnJuiiclioii' and both sides state that they expect to be ready for entering fully into the case on May 8.
 The state was given thirty days Ill which to prepare it's answer to the aver ments of the railroads in the petltiohs for an injunction to restrain the state from uniting certain of the railroad regu- lation laws into effect including among others the maximum rate law, the llo articles law, the railroad classincation law and the 2Ha cents passenger rare law' all of which were passed at the recent session of the legislature.
 At the same time the railroads are testing the law that prevents foreign corporation from filing a suit in the teo- eral courts removing or causing to pc removed to a federal court any suit that originates in a state court.
 Several of the railroads are not worried over this law, as it does not apply 10 them, for instance the South and North. part of the Louisville and Nashville; the Northern Alabama, the Alabama Great Southern, the Mobile and Ohio, which is chartered in Alabama and Mis- sssippi, and the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City which is said to be an Ala bama corporation.
 The license of these roads cannot be taken away by the state for removing case to tho federal courts as they do not come under the classification of foreign corpora tions.
 It has been stated within the past two or three days that the anti-pass law would be tested but not by the railroads. It was stated last night by one of the railroad attorneys that the railroads would not test this law. Several private individuals have, however, announced their intention of testing this law. and they state that they believe it will fall before a constitutional test Their attor- neys have advised them that they stood a good chance to break this law and they will probably attempt to do so.

LITTLE WANDERER
 KEEPS POLICE BUSY
ISAAC ALBATA IS HERE TO SEE TOWN, AND FIGURES IN SOME THRILLING EScAPADES DUR ING HIS WANDERlNGS.

A little wandering Jew, in reality, is Isaac Albata, who has ben spending most of his time in the arms of the policemen ever since his arrival in this city direct from the old country.
 The 4-year-old boy is here to see the town, and nothing will restrain him from going on these tours of inspections. Rush. ing across crowded streets, escaping nar- rowly from the wheels of street cars and vehicles, he continues to run about the town admring all he can see with wide open eyes.
 Yesterday afternoon Policeman Stapp grabbed him from almost under a horse s hoofs, and carried him to police head quarters, where he has been almost a dozen times since his arrival.
 Isaac can not speak q word of English, only mamma" but he has big blue eyes that take in everything. The atmospher e around the city hall always frightens him, and he immediately falls to sobbing. The officers then resort to candy and cakes, and every other kind of amusement to keep him entertained until some one arrives to take him home.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
 MEETS TONIGHT
Meeting Will Be Devoted Entirely tc Clinical Work - Society is
 Flourishing.

The regular weekly meeting of the Jeff ferson County Medical society will be held tonight in the city hall. The first session in the month is always looked forward to with particular pleasure by the physi- cians as it is on that night that they talk of their own particular cases, report pecuiarities and compare symptoms.
 The meeting will be given over entirely to clinical work, as no regular programme has been drawn up. President Wyman will be in the chair and Secretary Toole will be at the desk.
 The membership of the society is now the largest in it's history, and all the doctors are enthusiastic workers. Since the election of officers there has not been a meeting that was not full of helpful cooperation. The papers have been deep ly studied and have thrown much light on the problems of the profession.

CHURCHES FILLED
 FOR THE SERVICES
CONGREGATIONS COULD NOT WELL HAVE BEEN LARGER HAD IT BEEN SUNSHINE IN STEAD OF RAIN.

Had yesterday been day of sunshine instead of rain the Easter congregations that attended services at the various churches could not well have been larger. The attendance at the Episcopal and Catholic churches taxed the seating ca pacity.
 At the Church of the Advent, the rec tor, the Rev. Dr. w. F. Evans, admlnis- tered holy communion to a goodly num- Der at 7:S0 a. m. and at Il o'clock preached an exceptionally fine sermon to a congre- gation that filled the house. The music under the direction of Edward c. Powell was as brilliant and Easterike as usual. and altogether the services, 1t is said, were never more enjoyed.
 The Sunday school celebration at the Advent in the afternoon at 4:S0 o'clock was both picturesque and joyous, and a large sum was realized by the offering of Lenten savings by the children.
 At St. Mary's-on-the-Hi Highlands large conversations assembled at Il o'clock and at night. The music on both occasions was at once churchly. artistic and beau- tiful and pr. Bradley, the organist and cholrmaster, was highly complmented on his work.
 The smaller Episcopal churches fin and around Birmingham were, like the Ad- vent and St. Mary's. tastefully decorated with potted plants and flowers.
 In nearly all the Protestant churches special musical programmes were rem dered

SPECIAL OFFICERS BUSY.
Protect Hospital Flower Plots and
 Preserve Order at New Station.

Children with the spring blood in their veins, who have been in the habit of tramplng the flower beds at St. Vincent's s hospital and playing havoc around the scene of the new terminal station turned back from their usual playing grounds with dismal faces yesterday afternoon, for before they hardly had chance to be- gin, who should appear on the scene but a blue-coated officer.
 The policeman paraded around the ter race of the hospital for the whole after noon and never did a youngster dare to show his face above the stone steps. Crowds of them went to the foot of the hill, but look was enough to dampen their spirits. The hospital authorities had notified Chief Wier that for the last few Sundays the boys had been habitually tearing the flower plots to pieces and leaving nothing but wrecks.
 Peddlers and fakirs who have been working around the terminal station were frightened away by the presence of an officer who was there on special detail Another order of the chief. which was carried out carefully yesterday, was en- forcing the laws against reckless driving over street crossings. Several arrests were made. and the hack drivers were called on to halt in their steeplechase.

SUCCESS AT WEST END.
"Deestrict SkuIe" Given in Fine Style
 and Financial End Turns Out We'll.

The "Deestrict Skule" given for the benefit of the West End Baptist church inMcGahey's hall Friday evening, was in every way a success. The hall was filled to its utmost capacity, and the performance apparently, judging from the frequent applause, was enjoyed by all. The scholars knew their pieces when they were supposed to know them, and forgot them when they were supposed to forget them; the schoolmaster was properly terrible, and everything went off very smoothly. The costumes were not the least interesting part of the affair. Some were very striking. Financially, the entertainment was great success, and those who were instrumental in getting 1t up, are receiving congratulations.

Mir De Angelis has found his best comedy role as Don Pascal, the in- Hated old flop, who is governor of the Spanish South American colony in the sixteenth century.

BOARD WILL AGREE
 ON JAIL QUESTION
TEMPORARY RELIEF HAS BEEN GRANTED AT COURTHOUSE, AND NEED FOR MORE ROOM AT JAIL IS PRESSING.

It is probable that at the mee ting of the Board of Revenue today the jail ques- tion will be settled and the future course of the board in reference to a skyscraper for office room will be definitely de- cided.
 They will receive the report of their attorney and an architect who have been considering the matter, and certain mem- bers do not favor delaying any longer
 While. the skyscraper idea is the rec ognized logical course, the improvements which are being made in the basement of the old court house may be sufficient for a few years more. The jail ques- ton. however, is decidedly pressing. The following letter of Colonel Higdons will be consdered:
 "Gentlemen-I respectfully call your att tention to the over-crowded condition of the Jefferson county jail and ask your immediate relief to the following neces- sary improvements, until you can build a large, new, modern jail: Large venti- lating fans in both the white and colored jail, to carry off the foul, hot air; that you instruct MT. Downey to let the water run continually in the sewer pipes or flush them every half hour, or install n- dividual flushers for each cell; electric lights in each cell, so I can inspect same for safekeeping of prisoners and sani- tary conditions; installing swing iron hunks, instead of the wire cots enlarge the present jail to hold at least 200 more prisoners. For the health of the unfor- tunate prisoners, who are from time to time confined in the Jail, these improve ments are necessary immediately. Re- spectfully, E. L. -IGDON,
 Sheriff.

1000 ARRESTS IS RECORD FOR MARCH War on Migrants and Gam- bIerS is Responsible DRUNkS ARE DECREASING February Had 1ss, but March Comes Forward With But 1o4, and Most
 of Them Were Able
 to Walk.
DRUNKS ARE DECREASING

| The criminal record of the city of Bir- mingham has run higher this past month than any other of the year. The arrests made by the city alone will amount to more than 1000 while the county has cap- tured about 300 within the city limits.
 Not including the criminals who were given straw bonds on arrest, the docket at the city jail shows that 756 priso- ners have spent from a few hours to a number of days in Judge Feagin's hotel during March. which is 20O more than in February and shows exceptional &C., tivity on the part of the police.
 This is accounted for by the fact that Parker. Nation, Street and Smith have been unceasing in their raids on gamblers and vagrants. One hundred and fifty-six vagrants have been jailed, and the ma iority of them have been convicted. Fifty six gamers were disturbed In their jollity for a ride in the Black Maria, while al- most as many were given bond.
 The most surprising feature of the month was the 6-,rease in arrests for trunks. There were only 104 during the whole of the thirty-one days, while Feb ruary had 13s It has been noted also that half of these were not really badly intoxicated.
 Warden Cummings said last night that whereas previously he has been forced to drag dozens from the patrol wagon bodily, that only a few have been un- able to step down and out of their own volition. The knockout drops seem to have almost discontinued, and the qual- ty of whisky sold must have improved unless it is the warm weather which haJ decreased the capacity of some of the street corner statesmen.
