NEGRO FIRES ON
 OFFICER PARKER
HAD GONE TO ARREST BLIND TIGER WHEN FIVE SHOTS WERE FIRED AT HIM FROM HOUSE. NEGRO ESCAPES.

Fortune alone prevented the murder of another member of the Birmingham police force last night. Police Officer Parker was the target at which five pistol balls were directed, and owing to the short range from which they were fired it is remarkable that the officer was not dangerously wounded or killed. Nevertheless he escaped un- harmed.
 For several months Officer Parker. assisted by Offer Burge and Special Officer Robinett, has been especially detailed to look after the blind tigers roaming at large in Birmingham. Yes terday afternoon Officers Parker and Robinett located the lair of R. P. Pickett, negro, at 2S15 Avenue c. A case of whisky was found in the house but Pickett himself was out.
 Last night about 10 o'clock the two arrest the negro. Officer Parker en- tered by the front gate and as he passed around the house he passed window. As he walked past the win dow the pane in the sash was shattered by a bullet fired from the inside and immediately a revolver blazed forth four more times in quick succession.
 Officer Parker stepped back a few paces and fired back through the win dow at the negro, who fled. As Pickett. who. it Is reasonably supposed. fired the shots, ran through the house, in passing through the kitchen he fell to the floor, but recovered himself and escaped through the back door,
 It Is thought possible that Officer Parker hit the negro at whom he fired, causing him to fall as he ran through the kitchen, but no traces of blood could be found

At the Biiou.

The Ritchie London Comedy company returned to the Bijou theatre last nigh t in Around the Clock" a vehicle which of the company's visit here last sea- son. Around the Clock" is a musical absurdity which is chiefly interesting on account of it's pantomine which is largely the work of Billie Ritchie, a comedian of unique methods. He plays the part of an intoxicated man all through the piece and he is clever with rather bizarre form of funmak- ing. The principal part of the per- formance comes in the last act when a burlesque on a night in a Lodon music hall is put on with fidelity to detail and such an abundance of com edy of the horseplay order that 1t never fails to create roars of laughter. There is the merest thread of a plot running through the piece which serves to in- troduce MT. Ritchie and his company in a series of specialties that grow better as the performance continues until the climax of hilarity is reached in the make-believe music hall. A number of well-staged musical numbers are presented by chorus of girls who are carefully trained and wear some at tractive costumes. Those in the com pany who are conspicuous in Mir. Ritchie's support are Rich McAlister as the bell boy, a member of the or ganization last season; Charles E. Forman as Tom Wilson, John Moore as Hank Wilson, Dan Dawson as Algie and Kittie Nice Perle as Nellie Wilson. The show is substantially the same that it was last year and was well re- ceiyed last night

 WITH SLIGHT LOSS

At 12:45 o'clock this morning the fire department was called to Ninth avenue and Sixteenth street. north. The build ings in the stone yard of Reed Brothers caught fire, evidently from a spark from the boiler and before the fire laddies were on the scene the blaze had gained con- siderable headway. Most of the buildings. however were frames and cheaply built and though they were almost entirely de- stroyed it is not believed that the loss will exceed $500.
