The final action on the viaduct agreement by the committees Is ex- pected to take place this morning, and it is considered probable that Mayor Culpepper Exum will be able to an nounce that the railroads have come to an agreement among themselves, and the viaducts will be constructed. The report of the city's committee will be submitted to the City Council Wednes- day night
 At the Wednesday night meeting final action will be taken on the Tidewater franchise. It will no doubt be adopt ed, and Mayor Exum will have 10 days in which to approve or veto the ordi- nance.
 The license schedule will be adopted Wednesday night. A successor to Alder man Coffee Jackson in the Ninth ward will be elected. probably Joe Weiffeich, and a number of other important mat ters will be taken up.
 It Is now a matter in question wheth- CT John R. Copeland will carry out his announced intention and resign from his position as alderman of the Fourth ward or not. He will hardly submit his resignati ton this week.

ALABAMIAN DIES
 IN BALTIMORE

Baltimore, December 1s.-(SpeciaL)- Preston B. Davis of Samson, Ala, aged o2, who, in addition to being a state sem ator, is also prominent financier and land owner in his home state, expired at Johns Hopkins hospital this evening at o'clock. Death was due to brain trouble. MT. Davis had been a patient at the hos pital little over a month, having come to this city for an operation after a vaini attempt to find a physician In his home state who could give him relief from his aiment.
 MT. Davis was placed under the care or Dr. T. R. Boggs. He complained of severe pains in his head which at times almost blinded him, and at other times caused severe convulsions. He was op- erated on December 9, and it was found that a large bone was pressing on the brain. This was removed, and the patient came from under the anaesthetic feeling much better. For the next two or three days Mir Davis held his own. Then with Z out the slightest warning he suffered d convulsion, and it was thought another operation would be necessary. He grad ually sank. and this evening he breathed his last His wife was with him at the time The body will be shipped to Sam son in the course of the next day or so.

the express companies from handling packages under the 11-pound limit. AL the last session of Congress Representa- tive Murdock of Kansas introduced resolution calling upon the Postmaster General for information whether the gov ernment had taken steps to protect US monopoly in carrying the mail against the incursions of the express compa- nies.
 The resolution declared that under ex- isting laws the government has mo- ropoly for carrying all letters and pack ages. The law specifically declares for "letters and packets
 According to MT. Murdock, packets cover most of the packages handled by the express companies. although the postoffice officials construe 1t to mean packets of 1etters," in accordance with an opinion given by Attorney General MacVeagh in 1881.
 MT. Murdock declared that the Mac veagh opinion was not founded on law or fact.
 Nothing definite came of the resolu- tion, but the matter will be taken up in the near future and every effort will be made to have Congress look into it.
 Beach's Views on Subject
 Frederick o. Beach, editor of the Scien- IlflC American aHu pIcsiucul ol thc I OS- tai Progress league, seems greatly pleased with the progress that is being made.
 Parcels post legislation Is bound to come and come soon,' he said in an in terview with a representative of the In- ternational News Service. "All the lead ing nations in the world have it, and 1t has proven not only great time and money saver to the merchants, but is also great source of revenue to the government.
 "In Germany the government will car ry packages up to no pounds for one third of a cent pound. while under our present laws the government charges the prohibitive rate of 16 cents a pound for merchandise, and refuses to take any thing over four pounds. Think of our rural free delivery being run at a loss of millions of dollars a year! The driver makes his daily rounds with his horse and wagon and a load of mali weighing about 25 pounds, while there is room for at least 800 pounds. This space could be filled with packages sent by parcels post. Not only would this system be of immense benefit to the farmers, but the income derived from it would overcome the postal deficit.
 "Of course legislation of this kind would decrease the swollen profits of the express companies, but the people are aroused and 1t is bound to come."

TO THE EDITOR
Discuss Walker Percy's Views

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I have read with much interest the Hon. Walker Percys article upon the liouor traffic in Birmingham, which ap- peared in today's Age-Herald. Those familiar with conditions that prohibi ton has brought upon the people of this city admit that some step should be taken by the incoming state admin istration looking to the legal sale of liquor and I concur in the opinion of MT. Percy that the well regulated sa- loon is the best solution of the prob lem. However, I am of the opinion that s50O0 per annum license as outlined by MT. Percy would be excessive for the reason it might induce the saloonkeeper to handle poor and impure goods.
 MT. Percy also thinks that one saloon to every 5000 people in Greater Bir- ningham would meet the requirements of the people. Perhaps such plan would meet the requirements, but such a plan would not be popular and would be met with much opposition because it would have tendency to monopolize the saloon business. I believe, how ever, that the saloons should be con- fined to the business sections of the city, and high license imposed, but as already stated. I think s5o0o per an- mum excessive.
 MT. Percy also thinks that the sa- looms in this county should be reopened without another local election. While there Is no doubt in my mind that a large majority of the people of this county are opposed to prohibition and would vote for the re-establishing of the well regulated saloon, I feel that the natter should be resubmitted to them. unless the legislature should make Greater Birmingham the unit. then the people of this city should have vote rpon the matter. Such a method would be in line with democratic princt- ples. as well as in accord with the principle of local option.
 Tn conclusion I wish to say that l am proud to see such men as Mir. Percy advocating measures that in my opinion will best serve the cause of temper ance in this state and county.
