FALSE ALARM OF
 FIRE ON STEAMER.

Newport. R. T., February s-Crossed electric wires caused the sounding of the automatic fire alarm on board the Fall River line steamer Providence bound from New York for Fall River, while on her way up Long Island sound early to- day, and although K created no exclte- ment on the vessel, the report flashed out by the wireless telegraph operator made a decided stir on land when the message was picked up by the wireless stations.
 When the fire bell on the ship began to ring the operator believing a fire was in progress on board, jumped to his key and clicked off a message and called the steamer Puritan of the same line, which was passing through the sound on her way to New York and ordered her to stand by. The Puritan's 70. K" came promptly back. It took but short time to discover that the alarm was sounded accidentally and the Puritan was told it was a false alarm.

TWO NEGROES ARE
 BURNED TO DEATH

Tuscaloosa, February 3-(Special, 1.-Two negroes were burned to death at Sylvan, 8 small settlement a few miles from this city, on Monday night. At d quilt ing party that was given by the mem bers of the colored race in that vicinity two negroes, a man and a woman, got drunk from over-drinking a kind of punch which was served to the guests. These two who it happened lived in the same house were taken home by friends and left as they were thought to be able to take care of themselves all right How ever, early in the morning John Town send, on whose place the accident oc- cured, was awakened by a big noise and went out to find that the house in which the intoxicated negroes were was burning. Upon further investigation the negroes were nowhere to be found. After the fire had entirely subsided and the heat permitted a search was made among the ruins and there were found the charred bodies, practically skeletons, of the ne- groes.

Only Action Is Adoption Of
 Committee Reports
STRANGER ASKS THE FLOOR
President Jones Yields With Both Hands New Gavel, Which Can Easily Make Itself Heard
 In Any Audience.

For 30 minutes only the City Council was in session last evening.
 It was the shortest meeting on record, and nothing, practically nothing, was done save reading the reports of the sev- eral committees and adopting them.
 Although the session was exceedingly short and devoid of business matters, it was not without it's humor.
 Alderman Jones, in calling the session to order, exhibited an enormous gavel, as large as a mallet
 With difficulty, he held it's head from the table, and said:
 "Gentlemen, I find on my desk this gavel. l do not know whence it comes, nor from whom. l presume, however, the gift was suggested by the fact that at recent sessions of the council the noise has been so loud that the rapping of the smaller gavel could not be heard
 "1n case I ever learn the name of the man who was so thoughtful I will thank him in person."
 Just at that moment a gentlemen, who was seated near Mayor Ward rose to his feet.
 MT. President"
 q regret to state, sir replied MT. Jones, "that you are not a member of the council and therefore are not entitled to the floor"
 The heavy gavel fell with crash on the table.
 Some seconds later the same individual taking the floor a second time. stated in a loud and clarion-like voice:
 Now, MT. President, I am not mem- Der of the council, but am a taxpayer-''
 'I regret, sir, stated MT. Jones, that 1t is out of my power to give you the right of speech"
 And the gavel fell again on the table. The general understanding was that the man who wanted to speak desired to un- ravel the mystery of the big gayel. But after the second rebuke from the chair he remained quiet, while Mayor Ward and Chief Bodeker told him the news of the

 Other than the above there occurred nothing to disturb the calmness that char acterized the session. For some reason Alderman Estes did not introduce the resolution seeking to restrict the earnings of the police officers to their salaries. The special finance judiciary committee did not make a report on the charges of Irregularities in the Mayors office, which were contained in a recent resolution of Alderman Gambill. Alderman Cooper in- troduced a resolution seeking to obtain cheaper electric lighting for the residents of the city, but this was referred to the committee on lights and telephones. The petition of North Birmingham for fran chise to supply the people of Birmingham with abundant and cheap water was car ried over two weeks. Alderman Cooper introduced an ordinance setting out the agreement reached between the city and the Birmingham Water WorkA company. whereby the latter is preparing to build standpipe on Red mountain, but the negative vote of President Jones made the requested unanimous consent" for im- mediate passage an impossibility. The ordinance was referred to the judiciary committee and will be acted upon at the next meeting of the board.
 There were several petitions for license refunds, charity, street lights, etc, but all these were referred to committees.
 The reports as adopted last night follow:
