BIRMINdHAM, October 2O.-The
city Of Birmingham has been offered,
through its Board OF Trade, by the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company, the latter's magnificent ex-
hibit Of the mineral and agricultural
resources of Alabama, now displayed
at the Southern Exposition at Louis.
vile, provided the Board Of Trade will
see that the city erect suitable build
ing for the permanet storage and dis
play Of the exhibit. The Board Of
Trade unanimously agreed to accept
the offer, and at once appointed a com.
mittee to solicit subscriptions among
the citizens. Ii is designed to erect q
handsome, ample and substantial
building, and with the Louisville and
Nashville exhibit as a nucleus, inAu.
gurate g permanent mineral exposition
for Birmingham, with the ultimate
hope OF soon opening the whole affair
to the world on a larger scale, and
with grand exposition Of the pro-
duct and resources of the State in
ell its minerals. The Exposition
building will be erected in Capitol
Park. This park is an ample enelo
sure of the kind in the center Of the
residence part Of Birmingham and was
set aside by the city with a view to
providing ground for the State Capt.
tol, when it shall be removed here, as
many predict.
Some months ago the Age advocated
the establishment here OF permanent
Mineral Exposition, and received
great announcement, and promises Of
substantial aid. Mineral specimens
valued at not less than $4,000 we're
| prolaised. These will be added TO the
fine exhibit to be given by the Louis
vile and Nashville company, and it is
said the Alabama G reat;Southern rail g.
way will also tender their valuable
exhibit at the Southern exposition.
Thus a complete and invaluable Min,
eral Exposition may be expected,
which will give Birmingham such adj
vantages no city in the country pos
sesses,
II lie reported that prominent Grm
Of coke manufacturers from Connells
vile, Pa, who sold their works few
days ago Tor $4,000, are coming to
Birmingham to operate two blast fur
naoes and to manufacture coke. 1t is
said they have already been here aud
cooked Alabama coal with results 80
encouraging that they were induced
to sell out at Connellsville. Should
this happen, as promised, by the first
Ofuext January, it will cause a sensa-
ton in iron circles throughout the
country. 1t would be the first invest
ment in Birmingham of Northern
capital. All that has been done for
this city has been accomplished By
Southern money and enterprise. Since
the depression Of the iron market the
new Alabama iron makers have been
badlyunderselling the veteran masters
Of Pennsylvania, and this rumor Of
abandonment by them of fields grow
ing more and more Improbable foI
the unequalled advantages Of the Ala
bamA district is exceeding plausible.

STATE VS.. JOHN WARD.

After some difficulty in empannelling
a jury, the case of the State against
Ward finally came to trial on Friday,
and verdict of guilty was returned
by the jury on Saturday evening
The jury was out about three hours.
Judge Boyd sentenced the defendant
to pay a fine of two hundred dollars,
and costs. An appeal was thereupon
taken to the District Court. There
was no foOlishness in the testimony in
this case. There seems to be a very
healthful reaction in favor of calling
a spade spade, and against the mis-
cradle subterfuges that have been re-
sorted to heretofore that argues i'll for
the violators of the law. In this par
ticular case the State was peculiarly
fortunate in obtaining witnesses who
had too much respect for themselves
to descend to prevarication, and the
unanimity with which they called
things by their right names was re-
freshing. Of course the only hope in
appealing the case is to get better
jury.
