rha Ioka Was on Her.

A woman member of the bar in New York gives to our correspondent the following correspondence with the res ervation that no names shall be quoted. "I am one of the few wOmen," she says, "who can see a joke even if aim cd at myself. do not feel that in this case came off first best"
 The first letter was from man law yer and was as follows:
 Dear Miss Blank-We agree to the com promise as proposed in your Nvor of this date. Not because your client has just right to such settlement. but from the fact that we do not care to open con- test with a woman lawyer.
 To which this reply was sent:
 Gentlemen-I note yours agreeing to a settlement. although I cannot congratu- late you on your gallantry in begging the question. Like the original Adam. you seem inclined to hide behind wornan's . petticoat.
 And the following letter closed the correspondence:

NEGRO BOYS CAUGHT
 IN ROCK BATTLE
Were "Chunking" at Lively Rate and One Had a Pistol He Was
 Threatening to Use.

Five little negroes sided up to have rock battle last night and whether they were fighting or merely trying to hit each other in the head cannot be said, but at any rate, when Policemen Stokes and Jones appeared on the scene at the palace livery stable, on the corner of Seventeenth street and Second avenue, pieces of slag. Iron and other such missiles were "zoon- ing up and down the avenue.
 The young "ebonskins" ranged in arc from 10 to 15 years, and had the older of the five been hemmed up in a tight place he was amply prepared with d cheap pis tol The four youngest were easily cap- tured, but the one with the gun decided to take to his heels Policeman Jones brought him to sudden halt, however by firing his gun into the air. after run ming him about block.
 It seems that every negro able to buy gun has one of some sort The pistol found in the pocket of the young negro last night, however, was of very cheap make and looked as if 1t was about as sure to go off at the moment as it was sure of going off when the trigger was pulled.
 The young negroes were carried to jail. and will all be tried before Judge Feagin today on charges of dsorderly conduct. An additional charge of carrying con- cealed weapons stands against the older. whose name is Walter Clancy He might also be tried for resisting an officer of the law.

Towns Generally Favor New Jail and C0srt County
 Precincts Oppose t
BESSEM ER HOWEVER IS
 LARGELY AGAINST II.
En5Iey, Pratt, Woodlawn, North Bir- minqham, as We'll as Birmingham, Vote In Favor of the
 Bond Issue.

With q large number of country pre- cincts to be heard from, the results on the election held yesterday for the issuing of so0000O worth of bonds for county court house and jail building stand 1010 for the issue and I'll against it.
 The issue carried practically everywhere except at Bessemer, where the vote was 2S7 against and 15 for the issue. The counts are being turned in slowly, and it will probably be tomorrow morning before the final results will be known. The coun- try precincts are very uncertain, but the sheriff's office believe that the issue will carry by at least a majority of 50.
 A very light vote was boiled, there be- ing little interest shown in the election, and quite a number of people were ignor- ant of the fact that an election was be- ing held. Quite few were reminded of if by the saloons being closed.
 The results known at an early hour this morning are as follows:

LINEMAN KILLED
 BY FALL FROM POLE
CAME IN CONTACT WITH CUR- RENT CAUSED BY CROSSED WIRES AND FELL FoRTY-FlVE FEET TO THE GROUND.

Louis P. Marks, lineman for the Peo- ple's Telephone company, was killed yes terday morning about 9:3O o'clock as the result of a fall from forty-fve-foot pole. Marks was knocked from the place where he was working on the pole by coming into contact with the crossed wires of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and of his own company.
 The unfortunate man was making re- pairs on the wires of the Peoples Tele- phone company on the corner of Seven teenth street and Avenue l, and in coming In contact with the crossed wires about 2S0O volts of electricity passed through his body. He released his hold and fell headlong to the sidewalk below, fractur- ing his skull and crushing his right arm.
 Marks was hurried to St. Vincents hos pital in Shaw &s Sons ambulance, but he died immediately after reaching the hos- pital, about half an hour after his fall.
 He lived at East Lake and leaves widow and two children. The remains will be sent to Pulaski, Tenn, today.

For. Against.

The members of the Board of Revenue were confident that the bond issue would be carried by an overwhelming majority, and the very close race is something of q disappointment to them It is the belief of a great many around the court house that large number of voters who voted against it were not aware of the fact that the present jail has been condemned by the state prison inspector, and If a new jail Is not constructed at once the prisoners will have to be boarded at jails in other counties
 It is not believed that the total num- Der of votes cast will amount to one- third of the qualified voters in the coun- ty. The towns went very strongly for the issue, but the country precincts ap- pear to be against 1t. If one-third of the votes cast at the country precincts favor the issue, it is believed that it will win out, though by a very small margin.

WHO SHALL PAY
 FOR FIRE ESCAPE?
FEAGlN FACES kNoTTY PROBLEM AS RESULT OF DEMAND FOR A CHANGE AT THE NEW FLOR ENCE.

Which one of the three parties, the owner the lessee or the agent, is the proper party to have a fire escape con- structed on the Florence hotel building, and whether the city of Birmingham has the right and authority to force any of them to have the work done, are two questions which were thrown up to Judge Feagin yesterday afternoon for a deci- sion.
 Several days ago Building Inspector w. O. Matthews condemned the present fire escape on the building on the ground that 1t does not comply with the laws of the city The escape on the building at the present is one of the old straight up and down ladder concerns, and it Is held by the building inspector that 1t is made ouate, and, in case of a fire, dangerous for women and children who might hap pen to be in the hotel at the time The fire escape on buildings of three or more stories, as set forth in an ordinance recently passed by the city council, must be of steel and must be in the form ot steps with a landing at one of the win dows on each floor, thus making 1t pos sible to empty the building in a few min utes.
 The parties involved in the matter at the present say that the building was re- gently repaired and put in condition for use, and then approved by the building inspector of the city, and furthermore claim that the city has no right to come along now and order the fire escape changed It seems, however that the ordinance in reference to fire escapes has been recently passed and that somebody will have to put in the required escape; and that is what brings up the question of who of the three parties above named shall install the improvement.
 The matter was presented to Judge Fea- gin yesterday afternoon and lengthy discussion of the two issues at hand was held between the contending parties. Each has presented a brief to Judge FeaSin and he has the matter under considera- tion for a decision.

GIRLS PLEAD GUILTY
 OF GRAND LARCENY
MINNIE BERWANGER AND MABEL DILL GO TO THE PENlTENTlARY. JOS. BERWANGER WILL WORK 12 MONTHS FOR THE COUNTY.

Inside the bar of the criminal court and in the custody of deputy sheriff sat two young girls yesterday, neatly dressed and fairly handsome. Their pres ence was the occasion of much comment and inquiry until a glance at the black board showed the names Minnie Berwan- ger and Mabel Dill, and the indictments lying on the table charged the girls with grand larceny.
 These were the two young girls who had been brought back from Nashville to answer charges preferred against them by several residents in Woodlawn and other suburbs where few months pre- viously they had made their presence in the community felt by tie amount of jewelry that was missing from ehe houses they visited ostensibly to sell soaps and face powder or any old thing which would secure them admittance and an audience.
 Their method of work was for one sri to engage the attention of the housekeep- CT while the other sized up the situation and adroitly laid hands upon any jewelry or thing of value which lay around.
 For time they did a prosperous busi- ueSS anu Just dS ltldltcTS were DeSlllHlIlR to get warm they left for parts unknown. About that time Detective Murphy came on the scene and investigation followed which disclosed the fact that the girls were professional house thieves anI bad operated their game in several cities be- fore honoring Birmingham with a visit They were located in Nashville an brought back to Birmingham to answer for their thefts. In company with the girls was man named Joseph Berwan- ger, who represents himself as the hus- band of one of the women.
 While the girls sat inside the rails yes- terday waiting for their case to be called, array of witnesses mostly women, sat In the court waiting to testify against the culprits. When the case was called the state announced ready and the pris- oners seemed disposed to risk the onse- quences of a trial. It was evident that the solicitor had agreed to give the low est sentence if they would pleau guilty and their counsel strongly urged them to do so. After considerable discuss.on and some crying they consented to plead guilty and the trio were called to the bar The two girls were each sentenced to twelve months in the penitentiary and Joseph Berwanger was given a twelve months sentence with hard labor for the county. The prisoners will begin to serve their sentences right away.

SPENDS NIGHT IN JAIL.
Man Named Duean Charged With
 Theft of Horse.

Policemen Sta9p and Benson captured a suspected horse thief early last night on Twenty-fourth street and Second ave- nue. and he spent the remainder of the night in the city jail. The mans name Is John Dugan, and he says he came to Birmingham some time ago from Cinein- natl.
 Dugan was caught shortly after hav- ing closed deal with another man. He had made terms to sell the animal, which was good one. worth probably SlOo or more, to his friend for sG5. He was sns- pected and the officers carried him to Jail.
 When asked where he got the horse he told the policemen that he and hls father had driven 1t, together with an- other, from Cincinnati about a month. ago. He was questioned about his father and the officers were told that he worked as barkeeper at McVay's saloon. Inquiry was made at the saloon and no Dugan was found.
 Dugan's statements do not appear truth fu., and little credence is given them.
