Under the terms of the resolution to be introduced in the city council Wednesday night, the city en- gineer will be instructed to draw up ordinances calling for viaducts over four grade crossings besides the cross ings in the vicinity of the new union passenger station.
 The city engineer will be requested to draw up an ordinance providing for A combination viaduct extending from irwenty-eIghIh to Thirtieth streets and crossing Twenty eighth street from Avenue B to Second Avenue These viaducts will do away with the grade horrors that frequently occur in Bir- mingham he law was passed for the benefit of Birmingham more than any other city.

 Charlie walthalL alias George Ann, Is back in the city, and, incidentally, in a cell at police headquarters. They had hard time getting him there, and the negro's lot was equally as hard, but these are the bargains that are not entered into.
 George Ann is well known in Mont gomery He is." said Sergeant H. T, Ragland last night, "a slick one. If George does not know the party who comes to arrest him there is always trouble. If the policeman should not happen to know George thera is a little more of 1t. Even if the policeman is acquainted, however, there's likely to be fun before he's arrested
 The fun referred to by Sergeant Rag- land was had by Special Officers Lon nie Taylor and Murrell early Tuesday morning George Ann was seen on the streets by the detectives, and at the same time a femihder of the fact that the negro was sFanted in this city on a charge of assault to, muder came to the police officials.
 The officials gave chase. George Ann, however, had the start on the of- fcers and managed to get sufficiently far into West End to find what looked 70 him Ike suitable hiding place. It was under a house, and into this he darted, but not in time to escape the vigilance of his pursuers.
 Officers Taylor crawled under the house after his quarry, and brought him out at the point of his pistol The negro was arrested at 3 o'clock in the morning, and will in all probability be tried this afternoon. George was giv- en hearty greeting at police head quarters. from which he had been ab- sent for quite a while.
