THE FIFTH AVENUE ,
PAVING ORDINANCE
Discussed at the City Council
Meeting Last Night.
CONSIDERABLE OPPOSITION
Mayor Drennen Reports on Progress
Made in the Effort to Sell City
Bonds—P. J. Newman Elect
ed City Warden
The question of paving Fifth avenue
came up in the meeting of the City Council
last night, and was discussed by T. H.
Walton, agent for property owners along
that thoroughfare, who oppose the work at
present.
In the absence of any report from the
street committee the .matter was passed
until another meeting.
The bond issue was considered in execu
tive session, Mayor Drennen, of the spe
cial committee, who returned from New
York last Monday, making a report as to
the progress the committee had made to
wards selling the bonds prior to his de
parture from New York. He had nothing
definite to report, and in expectation of
hearing from Colonel J. J. Altman and It.
H. Kerr, of the committee, w^ro are atlll
in New York, the board adjourned subject
to the call of the chair.
P. J. Newman was elected day warden
at the city jail.
Twelve members of the board were pres
ent when Mayor Drennen called for order
at 8:15. They were: Mayor Drennen, Al
dermen Lynagh, Wheeler, Rambow, Camp,
McKnight, Mcighan, Williams, McNally,
Heidt, Thach and Gray. Alderman Har
rington came In a few minutes later.
The first thirty minutes were consumed
by Clerk H. D. Wood hi reading the min
utes of three or four pervious meetings,
and on the approval of these several rou
tine matters were considered and disposed
of.
Tlie Mayor submitted the report of Ac
countant J. E. Starke, who recently exam
ined the city books. For this work Mr.
Starke was to receive Z225, but he exam
ined th£ books for thirteen months instead
of twelve, as the original agreement called
Sot, and the question of compensating him
for the extra work was referred to the
Mayor with power to wot.
The ordinance authorizing the construc
tion of a sanitary sewer in the northwest
ern portion of the dty hi fhe vicinity of
Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street was
confirmed as previously adopted, no one
having appeared to protest against it.
The purchase of a safe for the warden's
office m’Jie smthorised.
An ordinance was introduced by Aider
man Williams and adopted empowering
any officer of the city to enforce sanitary
rules. This was ammely an amendment to
the old ordinance, which provided that1
only the town marshal could enforce the
rules. Birmingham lia# no town marshal.
An ordinance requiring owners of lots
below street grade to fill in the same wa3
also passed under a suspension of the
ruk‘3.
Street Light Contract
Chairman Heidt of the committee on
lights submitted the contract with the
Consolidated Electric Light Company,
which the,board at the meeting held last
week authorized the Mayor to sign. The
contract is to run ten years, during which
time the city agrees to use not less than
150 arc lights, and to pay for same at the
rate of $6.66 2-3 per month per light, or
430 a year, the lights to be of 2,000-candle
power. The city reserves thtf right to
change the location of the lights at such
times and as often as the Mayor and Al
dermen may desire. The contract begins
September 1, 1900, and at the end of five
years the city will have the right for a re
adjustment of the rates If at that time any
of the near-by cities are getting a lower
rate. If, however, the rate shdnld be1
made lower than the Consolidated Compa
ny would care to accept, that company:
may decline to enter into a. new agreement,
in which case the city may declare the
contract null and void.
The cities to be taken as a basis for the
readjustment are Mobile and Montgomery
In Alabama; Memphis, Nashville, Chatta
nooga and Knoxville in Tennessee, and At
lanta, Georgia. At the present time Knox
ville is the only city that gets arc lights as
low as $80 per year, the next lowest paying
$81 therefor.
The vote on the final adoption of the con
tract was unanimous, but Mayor Drennen
in casting his vote stated that be opposed a
ten-year contract, but that he would vote
aye because of the unanimous acceptance
of the contract at a former meeting of the
board.
Dr. W. M. Jordan’s bill for $150 for at
tendance on J. W. Davidson, who was run
over by the fire chief’s buggy some time
ago was referred to the finance committee, i
Alderman Williams asked' for the iocs- j
tion of an arc light at Fifth avenue and
Twenty-second street.
fr'lftk Avenue Paving
Alderman McKnight stated that several
gentlemen were present to participate In a
discussion of the question of paving Fifth
avenue. Me said the street committee had
reported favorably an ordinance author
izing the paving of that avenue, tmt by re
quest the report was held up for a while. .
He suggested that a chance to discuss the
proposed ordinance be given those present
who desired to do so.
T. H. Mol ton took the floor and stated
that he appeared as the representative of ■
the owners of 600 feet along Fifth avenue
and in behalf of a largo majority of the
property owners along Fifth avenue from
Fifteenth to Twenty-seventh street. He
stated he had a petition opposing the work
at present which was slgwtd by a majority
of the property owners to fee affected.
He said it would be an expensive fob, and
insisted that the city shonld begin at the
center and work towanfl* the oat skirts in 1
mak-.ig improvement*. Ho said there were
1,300 feet of property in Fifth arenwe be
tween Eignteenth street and Twenty-sev
enth wtreet owned by widows and that If
forced to flay lor these improvements now 1
It would virtually confiscate their property.
He said that erf the Ilf lots between
Ttventfeui and Twenty-.1 eventh streets own. 1
ers of 64 of them had signed the petition
opposing the worlc Between Fifteenth and
Twentieth streets he saM there wen* aljfhty 1
lotR, eight of which belonged to the city, •
and of the other seventy-two owners of
kfty-flve of them had signed the petition. i
General George L. Thomas had a list of
over one hundred property owners along
Fifth avenue who had signed a petition
that the work be done, but this he had
turned over to Chairman Graham of the j
street committee, who was absent.
S. Steiner advocated the paving of the
street, saying, however, that if a majority j
of the property owners opposed it the Coun
cil stiouid not order it done.
On motion the matter was referred to the
street committee with instructions to re
port back to the board.

tion President Zell, of the Irondale Com
pany, stated that wells would be bored at
once, and that within the next year or
two his company would be able to bid for

mingham with water.
Alderman Harrington called attention to
the curbing of avenue F, saying that
some of the property owners along the
avenue had not seen the ordinance making
the assessments for the cost of putting
down the curbing. He said that a number

work, and thus avoid the Issuance of
bonds against their property.
A motion to go into executive session
was adopted.and all but members of the
board were excluded from the council
chamber.

At the Police Court vaudeville yesterday
morning Willie Brown, a diminutive son of
Ham, was called upon to answer to the
charge of “larceny of a pair of pants.”
When hi-** name was called Willie rose
from his seat behind the “cage” and walk
ed timidly up to the judge’s desk. His eyes ,
were as big as saucers, and two Big tears
washed parallel furrows through the dust
that adorned his dusky cheeks.
Willie put his hands on the top of the
desk, and by rising on his tip-toes brought
his eyes on a level with his honor’s big
record book.
“Are you guilty or not guilty?” said the
judge.
”1 doan know whedder I is er not,” sob
bed Willie, “but I ain’t done stole dose
pants.” The testimony showed that Willie
was playing near a “wash hole” where
some small white boys were bathing. When
the boys started home one of them could
not find his clothes. How lie got home is (
not stated. The missing trousers were af
terward found In Willie’s possession, and
were brought into court as evidence. They
were about as long as a man's hand and
were evidently the original owner’s "hrst
pair.”
Willie Brown was judged guilty and lined
$5.
John Williams was fined $5 for escaping
from the chaingang. John evidently was
opposed to working for the city and es
caped. He was re-arrested and will werk. a
while longer.
Jim Blossingale was fined $50 for carrying
concealed weapons.

ELYTON PROPERTY
AGAIN AT ISSUE
With Prospect of a Final Ad
justment.
RECEIVER AGAIN APPOINTED
And Counter Actions Against Morris
Case Filed for Nearly Two Mil
lions of Dollars-In Nature of
Foreclosure Proceedings
The Jong litigation over the immense Bir
mingham property now held by the Bir
mingham Realty Company appears to be
about to culminate.
A receiver has been again appointed for
the property.
And what are gp.rtly in effect foreclosure
proceedings have been instituted In the
United States Court.
Chancellor Carmichael has granted the
prayer of Lewis C. Morris, administrator,
for the appointment of a' receiver for the
Jbiyt-on Land Company, which is in effect
the Birmingham Realty Company, and
pending appeal the appointment of F. M.
Bili.ng to be receiver is held in abeyance.
The bond of the receiver is llxftd at $10,
000, which will be increased to $20,000 when
he shall assume management of the prop
erty.
Mr. Billing is the receiver of the Elyton
Company in the cause of Myra K. Semmes
of New Orleans, and held that position
when, in 1899, the Elyton Company was re
organized as the Birmingham Realty Com
pany.
It is provided that the receiver slioll
tjike charge of ail the property, real and
personal, books and papers, of the Elyton
Land Company, et al., except that property
described as parcel 1 in the decree ren
dered in the cause of Semmes vs. Elyton
Company, et al., September 11, 1899.
'me receiver shall take and hold such
property subject to the order of the Chan
cery Court in this case, as well as in the
case of Semmes vs. the Elyton Company,
et al., and shall apply to the court for
directions and orders concerning the man
agement and control of the property, and
lie shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the
said property except by the order of the
ccurt hereafter to be made.
The decree, which comes effective upon
the receiver qualifying, will provide also
tha/t ail motions, petitions and other ap
pliactlons concerning the direction of the
receivership and all orders and decrees
affecting the same shall be entiled 1n both
t***s cause and the cause of Semmes vs.
the Elyton Company et al., and shall he
entered and enrolled in both said causes.
The question of whether the receivership
shall extend to the property pledged to se
cure the dividend trust bonds issued by
the Elyton Land Company and described in
the cause of Semmes vs. the .Elyton Land
Ctnnpaniy et al., In this court as parcel 1,
reserved, and the court further reserves
the right to take said property Into the
posession of (he receiver by tin order to be
■hereafter made.
Appeal to Supreme Court
The Chancellor's decision will be forth
with appealed to the supreme court of Ala
bama, bond being given in $20,000; and un
til the supreme court has jiassed upon the
case the receivership will not become ef
fective, and will be held In abeyance, the
filing of the appeal bond superseding the
decree of the court.
Thus Mr. Bill big, as receiver, will not
now take charge of the property involved.
Afore Important Proceeding*
As has been repeatedly stated, the, action
of Morris, administrator, contested the le
gality of the transfer of the Interests of
Susie Martin, a minor, in the old Elyton
Land Company, to the Elyton Company,
Which in turn was merged into the present
Birmingham Realty Company. Morris won.
It was alleged that the Interests of Susie ;
Martin were valued by the administrator
at $40,000. It was further alleged that the
company was willing to compromise, gos
sip mentioning various sums, such as $30,
000, $20,000, and so on. But allegations and
gossip aside, the first cause was appealed
to the Alabama supreme court, and Morris
won there; and thus the litigation is back
now to about where it started, nave in the
very important and apparently counter
proceedings begun In the i'jilted States
court yesterday. Two cases were filed.
Mr. Hal a Cane
In the first William Halls, Jr., of New
York, who is the president of the Bir
mingham Realty Company, enters suit
against the Elyton Land Company for
{195,000, being the principal and Interest due
upon 128 bonds Issued by the defendant on
December 10, 1887, and payable on January
L 1898, the bonds being what are known as
the dividend trust bonds of the Elyton
Land Company.
The plaintiff avers that he Is the owner
of the bonds described, and that the prin
cipal of the bonds has been long past due
and Is still unpaid, and that the defendant
refuses to pay the plaintiff.
Asks for $1,008,000
The other suit Is filed by the Maryland
Trust Company, said to be trustee for the
dividend trust bond holders, against the ,
Elyton Land Company, and claims of
the defendant the sum of $1,068,000. the
amount of bonds held by the plaintiff,
which bonds fell due upon January 1, 1898.
The bonds are alleged label debt of the ,
defendant, and the defendant has never
paid the same or any part thereof, and Is
nosr indebted to the plaint* in the sum of
ll.6CS.00P, besides Interest, which amounts
te $350,280 for the period from January 1,
1198, all of which the defendant refuses to
pny.
To he Finally Adjust Mi
It is believed that the directors of the
Birmingham Realty Company are resolved
by means of the suits brought.in the United
Slates Court to arrive at a final adjust
ment of the great property interests in
thflT charge. Tlris can be accomplished by
something like foreclosure. About 98 per
cent, or thereabouts of the Interests In
volved agreed and became iparty to the
reorganisation which resulted In the crea
tion of the present Birmingham Realty
Company. Amongst the Interests not
agreeing were those represented In the ac
tion at law of Morris, Administrator, said i
to Include twenty-eight bonds or shares, or
about that number, of the face value tt
$100 each. In event the affairs of the com
pany are fully adjusted the actual value of
all Interests would be ascertained and set
tled accordingly.
Former Governor Thomas G. Jones, chief
counsel for the Birmingham Realty Com
pany. filed the suits In the United States
Court; and it Is understood that he be
lieves a complete settlement of all the In
terests involved Is now in sight. Mean
time the business of the Birmingham
Realty Company will proceed as usual, and
all Interests are protected.
New Crop of Damage * nits
Some damage suits have been filed in
the circuit court: Charles A. Forsgreen, a
minor, by next friend, J. A. Forsgreen, vs.
the Alabama Steel and Wire Company,
$26,000 damages for the loss of foot and
part of leg while in the employ of defen
dant, on the 15th of May; J. A. Forsgreen
vs. the Alabama Steel and Wire Company,
$6,000 damages for injuries alleged to have
been received by his minor son w'hile in
the employ of defendant on the 15th day
of May; Guy Hunter vs. the Southern
Railway Company, $5,(XX) for personal in
juries alleged to have been received while
in defendant's employ on the 12th day of
June.
In the city court Mrs. Nancy Arndt, as
administratrix of the estate of Herman
Arndt, deceased, brifigs suit against the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com
pany in the sum of $25,000 for the death of
plain tiff'8 intestate, alleged to have been
caused by an engiue of defendant running
over him at a crossing in this city on the
9th of June.
AT PRETTY LAKEVIEW
“Mikado” Contiau^s to Traw Crowded
Houses to That Resort
The largest house of the season by sever
al dollars’ heard the third performance of
“Mikado” at Lakeview' last night. The
audience was as great in enthusiasm as it
was In size.
One of the very pleasing features of the
opera 1s the work of the young ladies and
gentlemen in the minor roles of the play.
A minor role when badly played always
mars w’hat may otherwise be a faultless
performance.
The part of Pittl-Siug, who Is the second
in the “Three Little Maid" trio, is taken
by Miss Margaret Kelly. Not only has she
a very attractive personal appearance, but
also a clear soprano voice, which she
handies very cleverly. “He's going to mar
ry Yum-Yum;” her description of Nanki
Poo's decapitation, and in fact all of her
work was very cleverly done. Miss Besato
Gafford was the “Third Little Maid." She
has one of the chief requisites of an ac
tress, that of life and action, and has a
number of admirers. Miss Elvira Lewis
sings the alto part In the “Madrigal," one
of the most difficult of quartettes and does
it most satisfactorily. Wl * Hood plays
Pish Tush, a part that d. s not require
very much heavy work, bu. which involves
the "catching'' of a number of cues. He
has a strong, rich baritone voice, and his
work in the “Mikado," and in fact in all
the preceding operas has been very pleas
ing.
The chorus of the company is also doing
good work. They put plenty of action in
their music, and very seldom have any
thing like a “drag." The male chorus has
a good opportunity for effective singing at
the opening of the opera, and they have i
made a good impression.
