 From all that can be learned Thomas was formerly employed by a negro, James Dean. who was in the coal peddling busi- ness Thomas. it seems decided to go into business for himself and it is said that he took large portion of Deans custom from him and it is known that the negroes lore considerable animosity toward each other.
 Rhe two negroes live next door to each other. and it is understood that the trouble between them has been unlimited Several days ago Deans two mules, upon came i'll and one of them died It was feared that the other would die, but it re- covered, and it was later discovered that it had been badly slashed and stabbed in q vital part of the body, apparently with a large knife.

ADJUSTMENTS
Dockstaders MinstreIs.

Lew Dockstader's popular minstrels will appear at the Jefferson theatre this aft ernoon and tonight. In speaking of a recent performance the Nashville Tennes- sean said:
 Lew Doekstader has produced a new kind of minstrel show. In this ennuied age novelty of any kind is appreciated, and Lew Dockstader's show is classed as a novelty. It showed at the Vendome twice yesterday, and each time 1t was met by a house that spent two hours and a. half in one big laugh.
 'But laughing was not all the show. There was real music, some catchy, rag gy pieces, others sweet, melodious com positions, and all of the songs ably sung. In addition to this there was a minstrel band, string and wind that aided greatly in the production, and a big strong male chorus.
 Lew Doekstader has got a minstrel show that has all the good features of the old-time middlemen- bones trombone aggregation, and that is something new in it's line"

KNOCKS HIM DOWN
 WITH BROGAN SHOE
CLERK IN DOWNTOWN STORE GOES AFTER MAN WHO HAD DRAWN DIRK ON HIM-NoW UNI DER ARREST.

A pair of brogan shoes was better tercation which occurred late Saturday night in prominent downtown store. From the information received at police headquarters it seems that white man named Arthur Coats entered the shoe
 store to make purchase, and that after looking at number of pairs of shoes Coats and the clerk who was waiting on him became involved in an altercation. It Is stated that Coats drew from his vest pocket a dirk with a four-inch blade and started toward the clerk It seems that the clerk upon jumping out of Coats
 reach found a pair of heavy brogan shoes handy, that he seized the shoes and let fly at his opponent. The shoes ev- identity landed on Coats head with con siderable force, for it was found peces- sary to send him to the Hlman hospital for attention.
 In less than half an hour after Coats was carried to the hospital the police were informed that he had escaped and the officers on duty over town were posted to that effect. close watch was kept for the escaped man, and he was captured yesterday morning by two of the patrol men. The dirk which Coats is said to have drawn on the shoe clerk is being held at police headquarters and Coats is being detained on a charge of an af fray

RAILROADS ARE IN
 BETTER CONDITION
A. ?. & A. Now Coos Through
 to TaIIadega
SOUTHERN EN TIREl.Y CLEAR
Train from GreenvilIe Was AnnuIled Because of High Water Over
 Track-PracticaIly All
 Trains Running Late.

While the distress of the railroads con tinued yesterday there was improvement that indicated an early return to normal conditions.
 The clearing of the skies last night, and the dropping of the mercury, together with the weather mans prediction that Monday and Tuesday would be fair. came as boon to the men of the rails. In case the backbone of the rain is broken, in two days, during which time much repairing l will be done, it is estimated that the week of much trouble will have been for gotten
 The single item that caused most pleas ure in railroad circles yesterday was the fact that the washout between Talladega and Pelham, which for two days success fully tied up one entire system, the Allan ta, Birmingham and Atlantic, had been repaired. Trains were operated yesterday over this line from Atlanta to Brmng- ham and return.
 Yesterday morning, on account of the track between Columbus and Burbank being covered four feet with water, the Southern was forced to annull It's pas senger from Greenville due in Brming- ham at 10:15 o'clock Shortly afterward, however, ithe rain ceased and workmen reported damage repaired in the after noon. The Southern over this line oper- ated train last night, winch arrived in Birmingham shortly after scheduled time
 The Louisville and Nashville had dif- fcult work yesterday in getting It's trains to Birmingham. The mischief, however, principally was below Montgomery. The accommodation last night arrived only , an hour late, but the fast train, due at 9:S5 o'clock, numbered in more than two hours behind the schedule time. The train dispatcher stated that the trouble was below Montgomery, out of his territory, and that he had received no detailed re- port. t IS thought, however, that the in- undated condition of the tracks near and around Mobile. where the Alabama, Tom bigbce and Tensaw have overfown their banks, caused the trouble
 All trains ran late throughout the day. This was due to the orders that slow time be made, and that all engineers proceed with great caution. On account of water over tracks, land deposited on tracks, the presence of danger, and orders for slow time, all trains reached Birmin gham be- tween two and three hours late through out the day with the exception of the fast train over the Southern from Wash ington, which halted at the station on the dot. The chief operator of the Southern announced last night that the line was clear from Atlanta to Greenville.

MATTERS TO COME
 BEFORE COUNCIL

While, according to programme, noth- Council at it's meeting this week, there are matters hanging fire to make the ses- sion one of special interest.
 The water question, in one phase, will be presented to the board in q tangible form. The recommendation that $500O be appropriated to make an investigation of the various schemes for supplying the city with water, will be voted upon. The meas ure will have the support of the members of the water committee, which recom- mends its adoption, but there are op- ponents to the measure who are taking the position that $500o is good-szed sum to expend in experimental purposes.
 It is probable, too, that some attention will be paid to the Adrich electric light ing franchise. The date of the expiration of this franchise is today, March 15. At the meeting, m case work has been begun, that fact will be made known at the meeting. In case work has not been begun, it is probable that another fran chise will be requested. The holders of the franchise showed certain activity last week, but the heavy rainfall it is thought, handicapped the preliminary movements. According to the general understanding this franchise is destined to be taken over by the business men of Birmingham who have been agitatng a new electric light ing company
 There will be a large amount of routine business coming before the board. One matter of importance that will be acted upon. it Is probable is the Cooper reso- luton calling for the investigation as to whether or not Birmingham can be fur nished electric lights for it's people as cheaply as the inhabitants of other cities are furnished

RAMSAY PLAN IS
 NOW PUT TO TEST

The g-diseussed Ramsay plan of road maintenance will now have it's first prac- tical test, following the recent downpours It will be remembered that the Board of Revenue on January 1 started six carts with one man and one mule each, to keep the macadam roads in repair.
 The rains of the last week have been the first hard ones since the first of the year and the road men have been hay ing to look long and far for a place to throw in a few shovelfuls of chert. They will get right down to business today and will no doubt find many new gull leys and places In need of repair.
 It is believed that this instant atten- tion given the macadam roads after the rains will prolong their lives a number of years and save the county hundreds of dollars
