LATEST RAILROAD v|ADUCT PLAN ID BE TURNED DOWN COLD Council Committee Will Not Even Consider Proposition
 to Pay S300,000 REGARD IT AS EFFORT TO DELAY ANY ACTION stnI Hope to Reach Some Agreement Without Going Into Courts Where
 the TnngIe Might Prove
 Interminable

The proposition of the railroads to give the city of Birmingham $sooOOO. with which to build the First avenue viaduct will be turned down cold at the meeting
 of the City Council committee today at noon.
 Every alderman who has seen the prop oeition, or discussed it, is of the opinion that it Is simply another effort on the part of the railroads to delay action, and they believe that the viaduct problem is as far from solution today as 1t ever
 was.
 The railroads, in their reply to the council, state that the proposition sub- nitted to them by the council is im- practical, because railroad counsel is of tho opinion that there are obstacles In the way of the city's compliance with it's offer to close the streets, and because the railroads claim that it did not em- body a suitable division of cost. However they make another proposi- ton, In which they fix specifications for 60-foot viaduct, the right of way to
 be furnished by the city, all streets and alleys previously mentioned to be closed
 permanently, the city to make all re-
 pairs, and the city to build the viaduct
 upon the payment of s300o00 by the rail- roads.
 In the communication the railroads re-
 fuse point blank to accept the offer Of the city to close the streets and alleys 20 years. and state that the Sloss com pany cannot furnish the city with slag | for 20 years and they refuse to obli- | gate themselves in any way to build the | Twenty-eighth street subway or viaduct, but simply state that after five years they will be willing to think about 1t. | That the council will not even consider | the proposition is the opinion of most of them seen yesterday.
 | The city fathers are very much at sea, | as to just what course to pursue. They | have the authority, under a recent act | of the legislature to force the railroads | to build viaducts, and they can order | the streets opened up and paved. How | ever, they feel sure that such course
 would involve unlimited tangles in the
 courts, and delay the construction of the
 viaduct indefinitely. They still hope to
 come to some agreement with the rail | roads.
 It is judged that the railroads. in ask | ing that the city close the streets and alleys in the neighborhood permanently l intended to go before the legislature with | a bill condemning them forever, since
 they state that there are obstacles ir
 the way of the city's compliance with its offer to close the streets for 20 years

HEARD BABY CRYING

Three of 'Birminghams finest were considerably 'miffed' yesterday when the denouenment of an interesting situation contained unexpected developments A frightened feminine voice informed Ser geant Donelson at the police station yes terday that a live baby was under the floor and crying. They asked that an of ficer be sent to investigate. Sergeant Donelson at once hurried Officers Myrick
 Bagley, Hollums and Parkinson to the scene of the trouble, and the officers
 made thorough search of the premises without finding anything but very suspicious noise. The officers were una ble to agree as to what the crying noise was. One insisted that 1t was kittens, an other claimed puppies and third dis claimed any knowledge whatever. The women in the house knew that it was a baby. Preparations were being made to cut up the floor when one of the men hap pened to move box on the floor. The crying moved with the box and the of
 ficers spent several minutes moving the
 box. Then Officer Myrick was struck by brilliant idea--lift up the box. All three poised themselves with upraised clubs
 each ready for anything but what hap pened. Myrick gradually raised the box
 and presently huge gray rat scurried
 out and scampered away, leaving the officers too dazed to protect the ladies
 who promptly sought an. elevated sta | tion

DR, SOUTHNICK PRESENTS RIVALS

Dr. Henry Lawrence Southwick, dean
 of the Boston School of Oratory, gave
 presentation of Sheridans classic, "The
 Rivals" last night at the High school auditorium, as the second number of the LyceuIm lecture course.
 pr. Southwick showed himself thor oughly conversant with the characters of the famous comedy, and assumed all the various roles, male and female, with
 an ease and versatility which bespoke
 much talent. His interpretation of the character of Bob Acres was somewhat different from the late Joseph Jefferson S version, but, all in all, was excellent. Dr. Southwicks reading of the lines ot Sir Anthony Absolute, and especially of those of the female parts of Mrs. Mala prop and Lydia, was artistic and highly entertaining.
 | Readings of the classic drama have | their advantage over the usual stage pre- sentations, and with majority of pat | rons of the platform are very popular. pr. southwick may easily be classed with the best of readers, and last nights en- tertainment was distinctly treat. The next number of the Lyceum course will be the address of Mrs Florence Maybrick, the Mobile woman who was confined for years in an English prison. charged with a crime of which she was later exonerated. Mrs Maybrick has many personal friends In Birmingham and hundreds of others will not miss the opportunity of hearing her life story from her own lips.
 Mrs. Maybrick will speak at the High school auditorium on the evening of
 ThursdaSy> December l.

TIGER SQUAD CAUGHT
 TWENTY YESTERDAY

Not all the tigers have been closed as yet, for there were 20 snared by the blind tiger squad and the sheriffs forces yes- tcrday. Practically all of the tigers were very small, however, and the whisky was well hidden. The operators appear to be prepared to get the contrabrand goods out of the way when given the least op- portunity.
 Members of the squad state that 1t Is a common occurrence for the whisky and gin to be hidden in a safe. The bottle is kept there and the liquor given out in small drinks only. The minute the off cers enter the safe Is shut and the liquor is securely hidden. They have received instructions to enter a safe when they have good reason to believe liquor is concealed in 1t.
