MORE INFORMATION
 ABOUT THAT $500
PoSceman Testfies in Feagin's Court That Certain Expenses He ln-
 cured Would Be Paid.

The first information given publicly re- garding the expenditure of the $500 appro- priated by the City Council to Mayor O'Brien for the prosecution of violators of the prohibition law came out in police court yesterday when number of pro- hibition cases came up for trial. Police man Ivey was on the stand and testified that Commissioner Seals had advised him that the money he spent in the purchase of liquors to be used as evidence against violators of the prohibition law would be refunded to him out of this $500.
 A number of cases were tried, which resulted in four convictions, Judge Feagin placing a fine of $100 and a sentence of 30 days upon the defendants. Appeal bonds were made.
 Another arrest for violating the prohi- bition law was made last night by De- tectives DeRamus and Cornett, white woman being arrested at her place of business on First avenue between Thir- teenth and Fourteenth streets. She made bond.

HAS NEW SCHEME
 FOR PATRONAGE

A recent arrival from Washington has solved the difficulty under which political minds have been laboring for some time. He brings the news, which he declares to be official, that Joseph O. Thompson and r. D. Barker of Mobile are to act joint ly as the Presidents referees for Ala bama. He says they are to pass on all government appointments and will be con- suited in the future on all occasions.
 MT. Barker is national committeeman from this state, and such deserves recognition. This habit has been followed in the past, and is being used by this ad- ministraton in many other states.
 He states that number of minor fourth-class appointments have already been made under the new arrangement. While this official information was easily discovered, he was unable to find any thing about the Birmingham postmaster ship or the Mobile collectors office.

Old Jupiter Pluvius from all appear ances has it in for Birmingham, and is wreaking his vengeance at terrible rate. Nearly every week since the first of the year has been recorded with two or-three rainy days, while some waterbound per sons are willing to bet that 1t has rained every day during the year 1909.
 According to the reports given out by the weather bureau the old rain god is working over twice as hard this year as he did last year. While 1t still lacks a week or two before six months of the year 1909 will have passed, more rain has fallen during this period than for the entire year of 1908
 During 1908 the total precipitation was 3S GA inches, while the total amount for 1909 up to yesterday was fl 4.51-inches. making the increase so far for 1909 2.S7 inches.

Six Wonths RaintaH
 Exceeds Total 0 1908

The incessant rains are causing seri- ous condition of affairs to arise Drum- mers travelling Alabama and Mississippi report that crops generally have received an awful setback while many farmers have already lost thelir crops complete ly. Almost without exception bottom lands along rivers have been washed clean of the crops, while in other places the water has made the weeds and grass grow at rapid rate.
 These rains have also proved disastrous to the roads in the district, the heavy, washing downpours making ruts In the macadamized roads, while dirt roads have been nothing but a sea of mud for months.
 A spell of sunshine without rain for a week or two would undoubtedly be welcome visitor at this time.

Saturday afternoon the Y. M. c. A. will play North Birmingham, both of the City league, at West End park. the game to be called at s:so o'clock.
 By examining the lineup of the Y. M. c. A. team closely few new names will be found which have not ap- peared before. Since the colleges have closed the team has been greatly strengthened.
 The Y. M. c. A. defeated the team from Grasselli Chemical Works. June 12. The Grasselli team defeated North Birmingh June 19. Therefore the game next Saturday is looked forward to with great interest by the followers of both teams.
 The following lineup will be used by the Y. M. c.

Hall, who caught for Auburn for number of years. will do the receiving end of the battery. c. L. Mccoy, who was cap tain of the Auburn team this year, will
  who was the head-liner of the. Annis- ton team last year. will take care of the second base. Zeilmenski, ~the fly ing Dutchman" of the High sch ool team will be found at the short sta ton. Norton, who so ably took care of the third base for the Birmingham col lege team this year. will be found on the job at his old station. For the out field there are so many good men it is difficult at present to say who will play. Wilson, who was for two years captain of the Southern university team at Greensboro; Leslie, an old Union Springs star; Weems, brother of Sam, and an old Auburn many Heck. who has been playing the game at secl ond for the Y.

Shollen Blocks Causing
 Trouble Or He Highlands

The New York Wood Preserving com pany is responsible for these blocks and is under bond to keep them in shape. The city engineer has taken up the matter with the company, and in the meanwhile Street Commissioner McCartin has the paving gang at work cutting down the swollen blocks and fitting them in.
 The blocks are swollen more generally than ever before and each day more of them pop up. Luckily. this pavement Is only used inside the car tracks, and the pavement otherwise IS in good shape It will probably require a considerable time to get the swollen blocks back to their natural positions

tional letter written in no uncertain language to MT. Crossett, purchasing agent of the Shelby Iron Works, by the defendant, was read. In this let ter Mr. VanHoose stated that man who bought goods from a salesman who sold the goods in question for less than the listed price fixed by the man ufacturer was coming dangerously near receiving stolen property" inasmuch as a salesman was "a thief and liaF' when he violated his promise and the promise of the firm which he repre- sented not to sell goods for less than the listed price,
 letter was also read which dwelt upon recommendations adopted by the association asking the manufacturers of cereals to allow the jobbers at least a 15 per cent profit on goods and not to print the price of a package on the carton.
 These were the main points in the cross-examnation. In rebuttal the witness simply went over certain Of his answers, explaining them to the jury.
 It is possible that several witnesses may be recalled for further examina- tion this morning. However, the ex- animation of such witnesses will nec- essarily be very brief and the evidence in the case is considered to be prac- tcally concluded. It is believed that the arguments in the case will begin before noon today.
 With the beginning of the arguments the real life in the case will be brought out inasmuch as there are many points of a sensational nature which will be permissible for argument which could not be presented as evidence. Interest in the case has increased from time to time and the courtroom was crowded throughout yesterday.

The wood blocks on Highland avenue are riding the street car line like hand cars, and seem to be determined to rise up high enough to stop traffic. The rains have swollen the blocks so badly that they have curved up to great heights, sufficient to make traffic dangerous and action im- mediate.
 This is not the first time the new style pavement has arisen to show its swell appearance. In fact, for servant, It's antics have been entirely too joyful, and the Highland avenue people are thinking of dismissing them at the earliest pos sible moment.
