COUNCIL MEETING
 IS LWEST TOPIC Little Doing in City Hall MANY RUMORS ARE HEARD Mayor Ward and Aldermen, However, Have Little to Say-Severai
 Offices to Be Filled
 at Next Meeting
MANY RUMORS ARE HEARD

The interest of the people who par
 ticipated in the mass meeting Saturday night is centered in the probable ac- tions of the aldermen at their next meeting, Wednesday evening, Decem- Der 16.
 While 1t is the general belief that the
 stage of greatest excitement in the
 present state of municipal disturbance
 has been reached, the people are dis
 cussing the next meeting of the council
 with as much interest. apparently, as
 they discussed the mass meeting prior to Saturday.
 It was currently reported yesterday
 that other charges of official miscon-
 duct will be preferred against certain
 aldermen, though these rumors were too indefinite to be traced down. How
 ever. there are many matters awaiting
 the attention of the aldermen.
 As stated yesterday. it is considered probable that Maben Hobson will be
 chosen alderman of the Sixth ward to
 succeed John c. Forney, resigned. M. M. Stewart the member of the execu- tive committee who led the fight for Gambill against Hoyt on the floor of the committee, was a candidate for this position, but he made the remark yes terday that he would not figure in this race. It is rumored that he will be- come clerk to Street Commissioner Me Cartin. or the city's purchasing agent, A position which it is considered prob able will ultimately be created. The aldermen, too, will be compelled to elect a member of the Board of Edu- cation. W. P. G. Harding, who was elected at the last meeting to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mayor Ward, has declined to qualify for the position. Capt. Frank P. O'Brien. mayor elect, is considered the

This meeting will be attended by many prominent railroad officials whose lines enter the new terminal J. s. B.

PRESBYTERIAN UNION.
Meeting of Ministers, Elders and Dea-
 cons to Be Held Tonight.

The Presbyterian Social union com posed of the ministers, elders and dea- cons of the south ern Presbyterian church in Birmingham and vicinity. will hold it's first meeting for this season at the First Presbyterian church, Bir- mingham, this evening at o'clock.
 This union was organized in 1895 and it's custom each year is to hold series of meetings during the winter, at which meetings various topics are discussed pertaining to the doctrines work etc. of the Presbyterian church, and which, in the past, has been of special inter- est to the elders and deacons of that particular denomination. At the meet ing tomorrow evening the topic: Why l Am a Presbyterian" will be led by Rev. F. w. Marston of the Westminster church. and Rev. V. P. Merrell of the Vine Street church, after which there will be a general discussion of the sub ject, followed by a special feature in- cluding refreshments. All ministers, elders and deacons of the southern Presb yterian church in the Birmingham district are urged to be present.

niittee of the Terminal company, eonsid- CTS the new station superior to anything in the south. While the people of Bir- mingham know that the new station Is fine one, they do not realize just how splendid 1t is. There are many people who do not understand as yet the plan of the building, how the trains will enter and leave, how the people, carriages and street cars will approach, and how the passen- gers will reach the tracks from the wait ing room. The new station will top the majority of all others in the south, and would not be lost in a shuffle with sta tions in large cities out of the south''
 MT. Waite, stationmaster Meglemery and Stationmaster Jones have just re- turned from Memphis in which city they were attendants upon a lawsuit. Illus trating the fact that Birmingham's new station is so much superior to others in the south, MT. Meglemery while on the witness stand was asked by the judge if the station in Birmingham was ''as rot ten as the one in Memphis"

 Before the regular business of the meet ing commenced the members were taken on tour of inspection of the new quar- ters and all expressed the pleasure at the sight and afterward warmly approved of the action of the committee which had been entrusted with seeking out a new hall. Almost 5000 has been spent on lighting, furnishing and decorating and everything has been done to make the place attractive and convenient. A grand entertainment will be given on an early date at which all the members will be requested to attend and bring their friends, especially the ladies.
 A letter was read from Brother Con- don. formerly of Avondale, but at pres ent on the Isthmus of Panama, in which he stated there were about 100 Knights of Columbus down there and they pro- posed establishing a council. It was also announced that there would be an ini- tiation of a large class of candidates in New Orleans on December 20 at which time holiday rates on the railroads would be in effect.

JocuIar AIIusion to Judge Allen.

The condensed report of Walker Perey's speech in Sundays Age-Herald might have made it appear that the speech had reflected disagreeably upon B. M. Allen.
 The jocular allusion made by Mir. Percy to Mir. Allen, as would appear from the full report of his speech was as follows:
 T read with interest MT. Gambills statement in today's Age-Herald It was clever piece of sophistry which I pre- sume emanated from the brain of my friend B. M. Allen. I confidently assert that. the position taken in this statement cannot be successfully defended by any lawyer in Alabama"

You can't grow strong by merely ex- ercising. You must have food and that food must be the kind you can digest and assimilate.
 No matter how much food you eat un- less it Is digested it adds to the burden the digestive organs have naturally to carry This often means a nervous breakdown.
 About a year ago. writes a Mass lady, T had quite a serious nervous breakdowll caused, as believed. by overwork and worry. I also suffered untold misery from dyspepsia.
 First I gave up my position, then I tried to find a remedy for my troubles, something that would make me well and strong. something to rest my tired stom- ach and build up my worn-out nerves and brain.
 T tried one kind of medicine after another but nothing seemed to help me. As last resort I tried different foods but they all failed me.

probable successor of Mayor Ward on the Board of Education
 The election of an assistant city at- torney will prove another interesting matter. J. Quincy Smith, the present incumbent, is candidate for re-elec ton. It is understood, too, that Ald- erman Fulgham, chairman of the judi ciary committee, is a candidate for the position.
 The council, too, will again take up, it is supposed, the election of two oth CT assistants and clerk to Walter Burson, chief sanitary inspector. At the last meeting of the board Walter Bur son was elected chief of the sanitary department, with J. B. Burson and W. E. Wier his assistants. But the board declined to re-elect Assistants Streit reason was assigned, and it supposed the council will take up the matter again at it's next meeting.
 The reading and acceptance of the resignation of Alderman Forney will be another interesting matter. It is ex- pected too, that the judiciary commit tee will make report on the verdict in the case of Alderman Simon Klotz.
 The people continued to discuss yes- terday the mass meeting Saturday and what occurred They also expressed great interest in and made predictions concerning the actions of the council at it's next meeting. The aldermen themselves were very reticent. Mayor Ward had nothing to say throughout the day. The city hall was visited by few members of the board, and, due to the excitement of the mass meeting Saturday and the interest centered in the forthcoming meeting of the coun- cil, things are at a standstill. The usual sources of news are dead.

Judge Thomas G. Jones appeared in the federal court early yesterday morning, took his seat on the bench and began swearing in the juries for the term of civil cases which are set on the docket. The case of James Hayes, administrator, against the Alabama Consolidated com pany was called first and after some de- lay the attorneys began their pleadings late yesterday afternoon.
 Judge Jones declined to be interviewed on the Steele-Birch situation. He was very pleasant and seemed in perfect humor, aut did not think any public statement necessary, leaving it to be un- derstood that he is simply exercising his authority as a judge of the Northern district of Alabama to sit in Birmingham
 It is understood, however, that Judge

JONES WILL PROBABLY
 APPOINT BIRCH TODA1

Jones will this morning. upon opening court, appoint Alex c. Birch referee in bankruptcy, and assign to him half the cases which come before the court
 Judge Jones yesterday received many friends at the federal building During the day several small bankruptcy cases were filed, but none of them were as- signed.
 The action of Judge Hundley, who is now in Washington, is the only matater of great interest now If he returns to Birmingham while Judge Jones is in the city, he would hardly sit on the bench but one of the judges might carry on the damage suit trials. while the other sat in bankruptcy.
 Should he return and remove MT. Birch, it is entirely probable that Judge Jones would immediately remove MT. Steele.

WoodIawn Boy Runs Away.-It was reported to the police last night that Percy Hendricks, the 15-year- son of J. w. Hendricks of Woodawn, had run away from home in company with negro boy named Lon, also about 15 years old, who las been working for Mewbourne & Spain, Woodlawn under takers. The boys have not been seen since Sunday night and it is thought they have gone to Atlanta. The Hem dricks boy is described follows: Blue eyes, sandy hair. wearing oyeralls and cap.
 Negro Boys Cause Trouble.-Com- plaint has been made at police head quarters by people living in Avondale that much trouble and worry is being caused in the Tenth ward by way of negro boys throwing rocks at white school children. It seems that every day when the school children are on their way home a crowd of negroes throw rocks at them, and several have been hurt. The hotbed seems to be at Forty-third street and the railroad crossing. Similar complaint has been made by people living in the vicinity of Avenue D and Eighteenth street.
 Human Skeleton FOund.-A human six eleton, supposed to be that of Tiv Kelley, a negre, who was killed during the recent coal miners strike, was found yesterday morning in Brazeal h hollow, between Cardiff and Brookside, the heavy rains having uncovered the remains. Kelley, it will be recalled, was taken from train at Cardiff by strike sympathizers recently when the trouble in the district was at it's height and no more was ever seen of him. It was supposed that he was murdered and buried, and several arrests were made in connection with the case. The coroner is Investigating the matter of the discovery of the skeleton
