c. C. Kitchens the man whom Deputy Sherffs Roberts and Kennedy arrested at the corner of Avenue and Twenty fourth street several nights ago for beat ing up a policeman, was released from the county jail yesterday after making bond.

 The identity of the policeman proved to be a puzzle at first, but 1t has been learned that it was Policeman Treadwell. He was attempting to place Kitchens un- der arrest, when the latter, who is 0 powerfully built man, suddenly landed on his chin with a well-directed blow and rendered him senseless for a few moments. The deputies happened along just at this time and placed Kitchens under arrest, and took him to the county jail When the policeman came to they had gone and he knew nothing of tho arrest by the deputies until the next day.

 Among the resolutions to which was attached the signature of the Mayor was that allowing the merchants loss of l per cent in sacks of flour and meal matter which has aroused the opposition of an element of Birmingham's people.
 '"rhe fact that the Millers' association has allowed certain leakage is indiea- tive of the justice that should be meted out to the merchants" he said. "One per cent is very small just one-fourth of a pound in 25 pound sacks, and if the customer is determined to receive the full measure. he is at liberty to have the flour weighed to his satisfaction

uation that the offices of the city hall the inmates got upon the streets to buffet with the wind that whistled the lofty anthem which chills.
 An usual feature of the day as has all ready been intimated was the fact that the women of the city were unafraid of the cold, and took pleasure in getting in the thickest of the fray.
 This is exemplified in the reception ten dered Mrs. Wiggs Mrs. Wiggs held forth with her cabbage patch at the Bijou theatre, and the ovation she re- ceived well nigh caused an abandonment of her customary residence near to na- ture's heart. But she stuck to her guns, and at the close of the performance, the fact that every seat had been occupied, had wrought no change in bearing.
 The women and children fought for standing room. Hundreds were turned away, and even those who had taken the precaution to reserve their seats, could hardly effect an entrance after 3 o'clock.
 At the close of the matinee the women took the streets, and the struggle against the wind once more took the stage. But it was a gay struggle which resulted in the success of the women, and when the streets were abandoned at night, none were the worse for the engagemnt.
 In fact the coldest day in years was a novel day. It's novelty pleased. But judging from large number of bona-fide interviews obtained bv A representative of The Age-Herald it is the consensus of opinion that one such a year is fine, but quite enough.
