NOTABLE LANDMARK
 IS TO BE REMOVED
By CHARLES H. MANDY

on Monday will begin the demolition of one of the earliest and most sub stantial residences of the days when Birmingham wore her swaddling clothes and was just beginning to at
 tract the attention of the country by her wonderful possibilities
 R. E. Bostick has been awarded the contract to remove the Louis V. Clark property on the corner of Third ave- nne and Eighteenth street to make way for the New Lyric theatre, to be i'm taediately erected by Jake Wells, the manager of the 40 theatres known as the Wells circuit.
 Few would imagine that the present buildings were once part of a state ly and handsome residence, yet such Is d fact. Previous to the purchase 'n fses by the present owner tho main building had been used as family residence until the growing town caused the owner 10 sell and move way. It was later used by Drs. John and Elias Davis as an inhrmary and 1t was here that the then rising sur geons acquired much of their repu- tation that has since brought them na- tionaI fame and honor
 When the inHrmary was removed to the southside General Clark trans formed the property, making tho naln residence an hctel and the street front age into storos. almost entirely oo- Ktorating the appearance of the once handsome and palatial residence.
 About tho year 1883 J. A. Yates, fnth- CT of Mrs D. l.. Chandler. well known and prosperous contractor of the city, erected on the above corner, which at that time was on tho edge of tho town, q handsome and imposing brick resi- dencc.

 side of the town when built, but tho
 city grew so rapidly. earning the name
 of the Magic city and the property
 became undesirable for resident puf- poses.
 Compared with old buildings in old CT towns, the Yates residence could not be counted old. but had it been erect ed further out 1t would still be an orna- ment to the city. But 1t stood in the
 way of progress and Ghaving fulfilled its usefulness will be torn down to
 make way for a larger structure, one that Birmingham will surely be proud of yet 1t is doubtful if even the mag lfifcence of the edihce to be erected by Jake Wells will cause the sensation
 that that early building did at a time
 when Birmingham was in it's embryonic stage.

fer new trial the corporation alleges that the jury in reaching verdict added the amounts the members thought Aber- erombie was due, divided by il. the jury number, subtracted the amount Aber- crombie owed for fertilizer and agreed upon the duotient as q verdict.
 The corporation contends that this way of reaching a verdict is prohibited by law. Exhibits showing torn papers and card- boards which were found in the jury room after the verdict was returned are pre- scented as to the way they reached a ver- diet If the corporation secures another trial it must prove the verdict was reached in manner prohibited by law. The case was tried by Il jurymen. One of the members became ill after the trial was ea- tered.
