.DR. [. 4, WILSON IN DANGER FROM FIRE Couldn't Get DoWn Stairs for
 Streams of Water BUILDING FULL OF SMOKE Blaze Was in Manly Offices On First AVenue-T. c. Kings Store Sui
 fers $2ooo Fire During Morning.

pr. Eugene A. Wilson. a physician of some prominence, narrowly escaped death by suffocatlon in the fire which originated in an unknown manner in the offices of R. F. Manly & Co., 2O1S First avenue, yes terday morning shortly after 10 o'clock. Dr. Wilson was carried by the firemen from his room over the offices where the fire originated, and was In an unsafe pre- dicament when found in the room. Dr. Wilson uses an artificial leg, and he states that when the fire broke out he went to the telephone to call the fire department, and that when he started down the stairs he could not get out for the stream of water which was being thrown up the stairs. He became strangled by the smoke but finally made his way to one of the front windows and was assisted down a ladder by the firemen.
 While the fire in the office of MT Manly was not bad one, it caused quite lot of smoke, a large portion of which got into the upper story and into Dr. Wilson's room, where he was sleeping The dam age from the fire will not be extensive.
 While the fire department was putting out the fire in MT. Manlys office it was called to the clothing store of T. c. King, on First avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. Part of the depart ment responded to this call and found dangerous blaze. However, by a quick response a headway of the flames was prevented and what might have been very disastrous confagration was stopped. The loss to the building and contents will probably exceed $2G0O.
 Last night shortly after o'clock the department was called to First avenue and Thirtieth street, where a fire had started in the Sloss furnace quarters The blaze consumed one negro house and part of another. The loss will amount to about $400.

WILD REPORTS
 OF BIG SHOOTING
AmbuIances and Deputies With Dogs Called to Rosedale On Fruitless
 Chase.

Birmingham officers of the law were excited for a while last night by the indefinite report that some terrible shooting affray had occurred in the vicinity of Rosedale, a small town ly- ing to the south of Birmingham, and just across Red mountain. Apparent ly the report was fake, however.
 Yesterday afternoon shortly after 6 o'clock Shaw & Son received the re- port and were requested to send ann balances across the mountain to care for the dead and injured. Then the sheriffs office was notified and with all possible haste Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien c. Brown and Deputy Ed Will son got out the bloodhounds and across the mountain they flew.
 The hasty run of two ambulances from the undertaking establishment, followed by the departure of the depu- ties with their dogs excited much in- terest, which was increased with the delay of report.
 The ambulances were the first to re- turn and they reported nothing do- ing" The deputies returned later in the night and reported that they had secuted over the whole Rosedale terri tory in both white neighborhoods and negro quarters and could find no trou- ble.
 It is thought probable that the whole matter was a practical joke played by some one. However upon inquiry by +alanbo one two residents of Rosedale in- formed an Age-Herald reporter that they had heard shots but neither of these people knew where nor from what direction the reports of the guns came. These shots. it Is thought by some, may have excited someone, who called out the deputies and ambulances. The prac- tical joke theory is given the most oredence, however.

MANY NEGROES IN
 FIGHTING HUMOR
Officers Kept Busy Yesterday Answer ing Complaints of Fights In Vari-
 ous Parts of City.

There seemed to have been a prevalence of the spirit of ill feeling among the colored brethren of the community throughout yesterday, for reports of ne- gro fights were somewhat numerous at police headquarters during the day.
 The negroes started in early yesterday morning, the first complaint being entered about o'clock. It was reported by a prominent physician living in the vicinity of Sixteenth street and Tenth avenue south, that negro was trying to kill his wife nearby. The trouble turned out to be between two negro men, however. both Of whom were intoxicated, and both par ties to the fight were jailed
 A few minutes after o'clock the report came in that negro had killed his wife In house near Avenue E and Seven- teenth street. The trouble was similar to that in the first case, but no arrests were effected
 Other reports were quite numerous and they poured into police headauarters throughout the day. Officers investigated each case, but none of them proved to be of any serious nature

BERESFORD WILL RETIRE.
England's Great Admiral Is to Vacate
 Command.

London, February 14.-It was announced tonight by the admiralty that Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, commander-in- chief of the channel feet. will vacate this command on March 24, when this fleet will disappear as the chief fighting unit of the first line of Great Britain's naval forces. Henceforth the more im- portant vessels of the channel fleet un- der the command of Vice Admiral Sir Archibald Berxey Milne, who is now second in command of the channel feet will form the second division of the main fleet under supreme command of Vice Admiral Sir William H May, sec ond sea lord of the admiralty
 It is understood that this means the practical retirement of Admiral Sir Charles Beresford from the service, and that he will be placed on half pay In the ordinary course. Lord Charles would have held the channel command for an- other year, and would not have retired until the age limit in 1911, but the gov ernment desired to group all the newest and best ships under Vice Admiral Mays command for home defense.

COUNTY PLANS TO
 MOVE PEST HOUSE
Will Be Located On Property Two Miles Beyond BoyIes-Too Close
 To Town Now.

The Board of Revenue is preparing to move the county past house from it's present location on Red mountain to the new property two miles beyond Boyles. AS soon as committees can be appointed, plans for the erection of a good sized building will be drawn up. and every needed advantage will be in stalled. The pest house this year is in charge of Dr. Roseman.
 Next fall the county aims house will also be moved to the new land. An up-to date structure will be put up and the large acreage which the county owns will be used to raise vegetables and food for the inmates.
 The present sites for both of these institutions are too close to the city and residence sections. The county has donated site for the Mercy Homes rescue annex near the present aims house. The plan is to put the re- mainder on sale for residence lots.

WEAR WILL REMAIN.
West End Congregation Unanimously Asks Him to Withdraw Resignation.

The West End Baptist church was filled yesterday morning, practically the entire membership being present at the re- quest of the officers of the church for the purpose of considering the reslgna- tion of the pastor, the Rev. Wallace Wear, which was rendered several weeks ago. At a meeting of the officers of the church last Monday night a resolu- tion was passed requesting MT. Wear to reconsider his resignation, and it was this proposition which was submitted to the membership yesterday morning.
 By a standing, unanimous vote of the membership they asked MT. Wear to re- main in his present charge and in re- sponse he withdrew his resignation An increase in salary was also given him, while the call was made for an indefi- nite period.
 MT. Wears decision to remain caused much joy among the members of the church, among whom he has grown very popular during his two years pastorate. While one of the youngest preachers in the district his eloquence and brilliant sermons have attracted attention. The membership of the church has increased greatly during these two years, over 100 accessions being made.
 The church is only six years of age but is one of the most fourishing churches of the Baptist denomination in the district. An active campaign for a still further increase in the membership will be started at once, while work on the completion of the interior of the church will also be started shortly.

YOUNGSTERS PLAY
 NUMEROUS FRANKS
Exchange Porch Chairs, Send Love MissiVes and Otherwise Observe
 St. Valentines Day.

That sprite of mischief dwelling within the small American boys anatomy broke loose in great fashion Saturday and last night in commemoration of the memory of St. Valentine. As a result many Birrning- ham residents have experienced the sen sation of finding large carriages on their front verandas. their porch chairs miss ing and strange ones In their places, gates gone to no one knows where, door bells rung until they will ring no more and pa tience worn to short volcanic vocal erup- tions
 C. T. Rainbow of 10o1 Bellevue avenue has large surrey adorning his front steps. the wheel scotehed with the door mats. and the shafts resting on the porch. This surrey made it's appearance on the steps early last night while the family were eating supper. The front lawn is about 10 feet above the sidewalk and Mr Rainbow is filled with wonder as to how the boys managed to get the surrey up the embanltment in such short space of time. The identity of the owner of the surrey and the industrious boys Is un- known to Mir. Rainbow.
 Out near Glen Iris park the youngsters amused themselves by changing the porch chairs on the different houses Saturday night. The scene of operations covered several blocks and anxious housewives are giving up hope of ever finding their own chairs again
 Out in North Haven the boys also dis played their strength by hauling a heavy wagon up to the top of pole
 But the real spirit of the day reigned supreme In the sending of anonymous messages of love in hope that the recip- ient would make Q shrewd guess as to the sender and thereby prove his or her love. The everlasting comic telling of some failing or peculiarity was also left in great numbers under many doors, with the senders hoping greatly that their identity would never be discovered.
 Yesterday being the 14th. was St. Val- entine day and for that reason Saturday was chosen as the day for pranks The irrepressible youngster, however, could not be satisfied with one day of it, and then proceeded to forget the Sabbath and the heavy rain in the carrying out his tricks.

FUNERAL LARGELY ATTENDED.
Impressive Services Over Remains of
 R. H. Pritchard.

The funeral of R. H. Pritchard, super intendent of the Gate City rolling mill took place yesterday and was largely attended. The deceased was one of the best known and most highly esteemed citizens of the Birmingham district and the death of few men has caused so many expressions of sincere lament.
 Mir Pritchard's body lay in state in the little Congregational church at Gate City yesterday in the forenoon and was viewed by his old friends. All the rolling mill hands who had worked under Mr. Pritchard spoke words of kindness and appreciation.
 Early in the afternoon the remains escorted by Temple Lodge were con veyed to the Masonic Temple in Bir- mingham and in the Scottish Rite room on the first floor of the temple the obsequies were held. The Rev. Mir Eaves. pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church. conducted the religious services. After recitng portions of scripture MT Eaves delivered an address of rare beauty and tender feeling. He knew the deceased well and had for him the highest ad- miration He spoke of him as one of the kndest of men and one of the most blameless of Christians.
 MT. Eaves having concluded his ser vices the impressive ritual for deceased Master Mason was then read.
 The body was taken to Woodlawn and placed in a vault there. In the spring 1t will be taken to Ironton, Ohio. the former home of the deceased, for final burial.
