melodies to himself, and when he sud-
denly departed for Nashville, one day last
week, these fears were augmented, rs he
has been absent from his dese hardly a
day in years. The secret of his sudden
trip has been explained. The object of his
affections was charming young lady of
this city, Miss Lizzie Bergman, who fully
reciprocated his affections. But for some
inexplioable reason one or two members
OF the family opposed the mston and re-
fused their consent. Mr.. Kettman went
10 Nashville to get the bishop to grant a
dispensation, allowing him to marry with
out the usual public announcement in
church. He carried with him such high
testimonials OF worth and sterling manly
qualities that the bishop readily gave his
consent. Accordingly. kettman Elied out

be built just out OF Birmingham, with 9
town surrounding OF brick houses for EN-.
ployes, and gasworks, waterworks, a
church and schoolhouse of its own. He
speaks of opening coal-mine near Bir-
mingham, on the Georgia Pacific railroad,
soon, and if this is done the furnace will
doubtless follow before long. Mr.. Thomas
SAYS the furnaces of this district are inter-
fering more and more seriously with the
business of those of Pennsylvania.
The locating survey is being made on
the new railroad to Sloss Mines. The
charter style is the Birmingham Mineral
railroad.
Birmingham had as efficient a fire ser
vice as any city South last year, at cost
of 1887 80. The firemen are paid only for
actual service at fires at the rate of thirty
cents per hour, and one hour of practice a
month at the same price. The cheapness
OF this service, however, is not its chief
claim to commendation; for they have
saved there is no saying how much prop
erty, and sometimes under circumstances
that would have tried the spirit and dis
cipllne of the finest metropolitan company.
The city treasurer has cashed within
the past week $4532 so of last years scrip,
of which there is still about $13,500 out
standing. 1t looks as if this will all be
pdiu diIU Tic Hiot ScIlcS Vi liliS year , SCTlD
reached by the 1st OF April. The City
Council is trying to arrange to pay all ex-
penses in cash and stop issuing scrip, bor-
rowing whatever money may be needed.
There is no difficulty about money on the
city's credit The only point that could
cause hitch is the rate of interest.
1t is understood that the completion of
the Georgia Pacific westward from Bir-
mingham depends largely upon the busir
ness of the road already in operation. Ii
the earnings show up in good, round fig
ures, there is little doubt about the COM
pletion of this westward extension from
Birmingham to Columbus, Miss, or Cor
inth. 1t doesn't look as if the company
could afford to leave this extension unfin-
ished, as it lacks only the sixty miles next
to Birmingham to complete it to Column
bus.
There is some conflict OF sentiment over
Wesley Posey's respite. A good many re-
gret it as breaking the force of the ex-
ample that judicial sentence can be
promptly got and executed on such crimi-
mails as Posey. The more general feeling,
however, is that Gov. O'Neal has done
well to give the negro every chance his
counsel could ask.

Special to the Appeal
WASHINGTON, January IA bulky
document has been transmitted to the
Senate from the Interior Department in
response to a resolution of inquiry recent
ly offered by Senator Van Wyck for all
the papers relating to the land grant of the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Yicksburg
railroad. This road never existed any
where except on paper. In company with
the Texas Pacific road, in 1871, this COM
pany secured grant from the government
of nearly 100000 Of land. The grant
lapsed in five years. One or two persons
afterward secured control Of the company
and mortgaged the land thus obtained for
about 100000. They are now before
Congress asking confirmation to grant
secured by fraud and to railroad that
has never had more than fictitious exist
ence. 1t is probably as impudent and
fraudulent demand as was ever brought
TO the attention of Congress.
