 at Washington

Next a shave was enjoyed and the burglar surveyed his re- fiection with evident glee. He then dined sumptuously upon cold ham and fresh

Light and Power company. The commis- sioners have held up the proposition some few weeks, hence no service, 1t Is an- nounoed, will be available between East Lake and Birmingham.
 II is understood that efforts are 10 ha made to compel the Tidewater company to place its heavily charged wires under ground. which action If taken will un- doubtedly cause the same expense to the Birmingham Railway, Light and Powei company
