"DoWn Mobile"

Lincoln J. Carters drama, "Down Mo- bile" began a weeks engagement at the Bijou last night As the title would Imply, it is stage story of the sunny south, and it's scenes are laid in the pie turesque region of southern Alabama, with it's quaint and interesting charac- ters. The plot of the play hinges upon the real identity of the heroine, Josephine Eagerly, the daughter of southern plant CT. who the villain, white in color, but with negro blood in his veins, attempts to prove is negress and illegitimate. Tis efforts are frustrated by the heroine's lover, and all ends happily. The action of the play is dramatic and the unwinding of the plot allows for some interesting and thrilling situations.
 The play opens at Sunnyside plantation, near Mobile, showing a typical southern home as it exists in many places in the south today. In the second act are the negro quarters of the old plantation; the third shows a vivid representation of a dismal swamp; and in the final act the scene is that of an old cotton mill which, in view of the audience is apparently de- stroyed by fire. The effect used in this fire scene is most novel, reproducing a fac-simile of real fire with sheets of flame rising out of the building accom- panied by clouds of heavy smoke, which creeps through the rafters and windows.
 The swamp scene is also carefully staged. The croaking of frogs, the weird notes of screech owls, intermittent flashes of firef1ies and the ghostly light of a full moon make the scene exceptionally vivid.
 The company compares favorably with the average melodrarna organization. Rose Bergere Is decidedly attractive as Sally, a "gleam of sunshine.'
 A handsome piano will be given away at the close of the engagement this week to the person who guesses nearest the num- Der of paid admissions for the nine per- formances. Each paid admission entities the holder to one guess.

TRIBUTES PAID IN
 INFERIOR COURT
Judge Feagln Pays Touching Tribute to the Character of the Pres-
 dent of Confederacy.

While whistles were blowing in other parts of the city and trains were stopped in their course and business suspended In a number of the big stores in honor of the memory of Jefferson Davis; Judge Feagin suspended business in the police court yesterday afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock to pay tribute to the great leader of the Host cause"
 A number of the old boys who wore the gray back in the early sixties and who happened not to be in Richmond at tending the reunion. gathered together and with them a large number of tho Sons and Daughters, filled the court room. There were several speakers who made short talks on or tributes to Jefferson Davis. Hinds Peevy preceded Judge Fea- gin withNa tender tribute to the leader of the Confectionery.
 Judge Feagin closed the meeting with a short sketch of President Davis char acter, and his standing in the estimation of the country at large today. He plead for the great leader in his views on the rights of the states to secede, and set forth the fact that at West Point where President Davis was educated and train 
 right of secession.
 He stated that the idea of states rights was not new one just prior to the be- ginning of the political strife that eliminated in the war between the states When Virginia entered the union she entered with the understanding that she should have the right to secede whenever she should see fit' he said, "and for this reason she was at the head when the rights of the states came up.'
 T think one of the noblest and best works in literature that I have ever read was written by Jefferson Davis, and perhaps the next best, in the sense of justice, was from the pen of Vice Presi- dent of the Confederacy Stevens. These two men are fast growing in the estma- ton of the country, as is shown by the fact that the state of Mississippi has started a movement to place a marble figure of President Davis at Washington. This sentiment speaks volumes more than l am able to say. It shows that the im- pregnable nobility of character of Presi- dent Davis, and the majesty and upright qualities In his great life are being ap- preciated with that of tbe other great men of our nation."
 After Judge Feagin had finished the court resumed the business of the day.

GAR TURNED OVER
 AT POPLAR STREET
HITS CURVE IN WEST END AT LIVELY GAIT AND JUMPS TRACK - CAREFUL INVEsTIeA- TON SHOWS NO FOUL PLAY.

The jumping-jac curve of the Birming- ham Railway. Light and Power com pany's Bessemer car line, cut another caper last night at about s:SO o'clock, and sent street car into the ditch in the twinkling of an eye.
 For the sixth time in the last few months this curve has dumped its pas sengers into the streets. Last night the motorman, being a stranger to the line. was going out at a lively clip. As he came to the Hawkins street hill he did not put on brakes, and when the car struck the curve at Poplar street. it left the tracks, ran or slid about thirty feet and toppled over into a ditch, the rear trucks breaking loose
 There were about a dozen passengers aboard, most of them negroes, and their escape from death was miraculous. Only three negroes were injured, one of them boy who was able to go home, and tue other two were carried to St. Vincents hospital in Shaw's ambulance. The ne- gro woman suffered a sprained ankle, while tlfe man was bruised about the head
 The car was not very badly harmed, considering it's antics None of the win dows was broke, and while passengers were thrown violently from their seats, they were able to walk out the rear door without any trouble.
 Careful investigation proves that there was no foul play in connection with the accident. At first 1t was thought that rocks had been placed on the tracks, but this has been proven otherwise. Street car traffic was not stonned In fbe lea aSt the, car cleared the track and left plenty of room for other cars to pass. It will probably be removed from the scene to- day
