THINGS DTAMATIC.
Theater-goers will have a treat next
week when Gustave Frohman's clever
company appear at O’Brien's In “The
Fatal Card.’’ Tills style of drama always
has a strong hold on the public, and It
is a legend that this style of play has
never failed when well written and play
ed. Farce-comrdy, comic opera, horse
play and realistic drama have comf and
are on the wane, but this kind of play
is still popular. Messrs. Chambers and
Stephenson have given us a play that is
tilled with material that interests an au
dience. The dramatic portions are deftly
sandwiched with the humorous, and the
sensational episodes awake interest. The
strongest scene is said to be that of the
broker's office, whtre the great bond
robbery takes place. This scene is per
fectly natural, because it does not ex
ceed the bounds of probability. It pos
sesses so much that appeals to all classes
that It cannot fail to be popular, an evi
dence of which ties in the fact of its great
success at Palmer's theater, New York,
last season.
This interesting play will be produced
at O’Brien's opera house by an excep
tionally strong company next Monday
and Tuesday nights.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CASE.
Chancellor McSpadden Overrules the De
murrer in the East and West Rail
road Case.
It is well known that this railroad was
purchased by Eugene Kelly In May, 1893,
at a sale made under a decree of the
United States court. Soon afterwards
the Messrs. Browning of New York filed
a bill in the chancery court at Ashville
against Mr. Kelly and others, seeking
to enforce a trust upon the railroad
property to the amount of more than
$1,000,000. The case has progressed until
the defendants made a motion to dismiss
the bill for want of equity and filed nu
merous demurrers to it for various
causes. At the late term of the court at
Ashville the case was argued and sub
mitted and Chancellor McSpadden has
Just filed a decree overruling the motion
and all the demurrers. The effect of this
decree is that if the Brownings prove
the allegations of their bill the railroad
will be sold to satisfy their claim against
Mr. Kelly’s estate.
The case is a very important and in
teresting one and will be watched with
great Interest, as it has seriously inter
fered with the extension of the railroad
to this city. ,

A FATAL BLOW,
Sam James, Colored, Fills Up on Fighting
Whisky and a Funeral Will Like
ly Result,
Last night Sam James, a wild negro,
full of whisky and meanness, came to
grief about 7:30 o'clock on First avenue,
near Eighteenth street.
He walked Into Henchel s saloon, it is
said, and struck at a white man stand
ing near the counter. The white man
seized a billiard cue and swung the heavy
end on the negro’s head. The negro then
ran out of the saloon, striking at pedes
trians who came in his way. It is said
he hit several people and then ran Into
a fish stand and made an assault on
several Greeks. Officer Culpepper ar
rived at that time and heard the negro
yelling inside. He met the Greeks run
ning out, and arretted Chris Quarliers
and Peter Johnson. Sam James, the
negro, was found lying down in the rear.
He had two or three severe contusions
and a fracture of the skull. He was
taken to the city hospital, where Drs.
Gibson. Due and Shoemaker dressed his
wounds. The physicians have little hope
lor his receovery.
It Is believed that he can live only two
or three days. The fracture disclosed a
hole In his head as large as a 50-cent
piece, and the broken parts of the skull
were removed and the .wound dressed.
James is a large burly negro, about 6
feet tall. He worked at Ensley City, It
is said, and has a wife and brother there.
The man who struck the negro with
the billiard cue disappeared and has not
been seen since. The Greeks say they
did not hit the negro, though he enter
ed the place and began an attack on them
when he fell on the floor.
UNCLE SAM’S COURT.
Cases Filed—Conspiracy Cases Concluded.
Defendants Discharged.
Before United States Commissioner
.H. A. Wilson yesterday morning the
trial of S. H. Campbell, George Gresham
and James Joyce, charged with conspir
acy, was concluded. These men were ar
rested on a warrant sworn out by an Ital
ian named Goiito, who stated that a con
spiracy had formed between the three
t, men to deprive him of rights guaranteed
by the government of the United States
by preventing him from working in the
mines at Horse Creek.
After hearing the testimony Commis
sioner Wilson discharged the defendants.
The following case has been filed in the
United States court here:
United States vs. J. J. Scroggins. The
suit Is for ejectment to recover a certain
tract of land In Cherokee county, and
also $2000 as damages for the detention of
the land. Some years ago the govern
ment sued J. J. Scroggins and sureties
on a postmaster's bond, and received a
verdict. A levy was made on the prop
erty and the government bought it in.
Since then Scroggins, so it is alleged,
has retained possession of the property,
and the suit is brought to eject him and
get damages for the detention.
THE FIRE FIEND.
Destroys the East Birmingham SmeltingWorks.
Beyond the Fire Limits.
At an early hour yesterday morning
the works of the East Birmingham
Smelting company, located at Eleventh
avenue and Thirty-ninth street, north,
were destroyed by fire. There is no fire
protection for that vicinity and the
flames could not be checked until the
entire works had been consumed. The
origin of the fire Is unknown.
The plant was valued at about $20,000
and $10,000 insurance was carried on it.
The East Birmingham Smelting works
were owned by R. M. Bates, David S.
Anderson and Mrs. Fitzgerald and had
been in operation for some time. They
manufactured brasses for furnaces and
railroads and had quite an extensive
trade in that line.
They will rebuild at once, it is under
stood, in order to reap the benefit of the
large trade they had built up.
SUPERINTENDENT RAMSEY PROMOTED.
Mr. Erskine Ramsey, who for the past
year has been superintendent of the
Pratt division of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company, with headquar
ters in Pratt City, has been promoted,
and Is now asslsitant general manager of
that company. The vacancy created by
his promotion was filled by the appoint
ment of Mr. P. J. Rogers as superin
tendent of the Pratt division. Mr. Rog
ers has been warden at the Pratt mines
prisons for several years, and will con
tinue to fill that position in connection
with his other duties.
Mr. Ramsey and Mr. Rogers have been
faithful and efficient officials, and their
promotions are but Just recognitions of
their valuable services to the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
scrofula
Any doctor will tell you
that Professor Hare, of
Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, is one of the
highest authorities in the
world on the action of
drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment
of scrofula, he says:
" It is hardly necessary to state that cod-liver
oil is the best remedy of all. The oil should
be given in emulsion, ao prepared as to be
palatable.”
He also says that the
hypophosphites should be
oombined with the oil.
Scott’s Emulsion of cod
liver oil, with hypophos
phites, is precisely such a
preparation.

There is one true specific for diseases

this country has pro

prescribed what is
now known the world

rheumatism and kid
ney troubles. For
the latter Paine's cel

again where everything else has failed.
Washington correspondents have re
cently given it a great deal of attention
since the most wonderful cure effected in
the case of Commodore Howell.
The medical journals of the country
have given more space in the last few
years to the many remarkable cases
where the use of Paine’s celery compound
has made people well than to any other
