AMUSING SCENE
 IN POLICE COURT
Little Fox Terrier Is Haled Into Court For Being "Vicious"
 Creature

Not a day passes that spectators in the police court are not amused by witnesses called there to testify in cases. M. J. Gregg, a we'll known local attorney, pre- sided as special judge in the court yes terday and a ruling of his caused con- siderable merriment.
 From the evidence in the case 1t seems that very prominent lady here is the owner of a fine fox terrier dog and on Tuesday afternoon the butler was in- structed to take foxy" out for walk. While enjoying his liberty the dob be- came over-frisky and committed some act of which member of the police force did not approve.
 During the course of events which fol- lowed as the evidence in the case tend ed to show the officer kicked the dog and foxy turned and snapped at him sev- eral times. Consequently the dog and the negro butler were hustled into the patrol wagon and sent to jail, the ne- gro being locked up for allowing a vicious dog to run at large and 1t is presumed that foxy" was bundled up and sent in to testify against himself and the negro.
 When the officer had stated the facts of the case to the court MT. Gregg ruled that there was no proof that the little animal was vicious" stating that he would be inclined to act as the dog did were he handled in the same manner Consequently the case fell through and both the dog and his keeper were exon erated.

PAVING WORK IS BEGUN

Bessemer, June 1.-(Special.)- )-The coun- cil meeting tonight was the most har- monlous for some time there being scarcely a dissenting vote to any ~meas- ure. The deadlock on the election of an alderman from the Second ward which has so hindred business for some time past was broken, and H. P. Keith was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy.
 This will facilitate the transaction of business greatly as was shown tonight when much business was attended to. The mayor vetoed the action of the coun- cil in the matter of allowing the boot black stands in the alleys of the city and the council upheld the veto. This nuisance will be removed at once.
 Chief Wallace was granted leave to go to the convention of chiefs of police at Buffalo. and his expenses will be paid by the city.
 The following committees were ap- pointed: A committee to look into tho buying of a steam roller, committee to attend to the improvements that are being made in Bessemer, a committee to request the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to put trailer on all North Bessemer cars.
 The reports of the officers for May were heard and received as information, and also the committee appointed to look into the purchase of the Hall property, owned by Mayor Lewis, for park purposes re- ported that the mayor refused to fix price.
 The following minor matters were at tended to:
 The city engineer was granted an as- sstant at a salary of not more than $50 per month.s
 The clerk requested more time on the city bills, which was granted.

 From one point of view. 1908 was prac- tcally year of no progress, the official returns from many states showing a fall ing off in payments for death claims and endowments. To some extent the falling off was due to the extension of the bus iness disturbance during the closing months of 1907 far into 1908, as indicated by the increase of loans on policies and the lapsation of policies. the former re- ducing the amount payable to benef- cares and the latter cutting off large part of insurance protection. The effects of adverse legislation that was begun in 1906, were also toward the reduction of protection through the decrease of agency forces and the limitations on the busi- ness. Returns from fraternal societies showed in most cases considerable de- olines in amounts paid, indicating for them the effect of the hard times.
 The amounts paid out to insured per sons or their benef1ciaries in Alabama, making total of $9,7OOOOG were as fol- 1-~.
