ON THE SEVENTH.
The Alabama Rolling Mill at Gate City Will be Put in Operation
 After Lo Idleness

There is no doubt as to the Alabama rolling mills commencing operation on January7 z, as 1t is an assured fact.
 An AGE HERALD reporter, in conversa- tion with one of the mill managers, was told that they would put their pudding mills in operation on the Eth with large force of hands, and on the l4th, one week later, the finishing mills will go to work.
 He was asked if they lad many orders placed, and what he thought the prospect for lively season was.
 "No,' he answered, "we have not placed single order, but have more than we can fill h ninety days, should we accept them, but we are not accepting any orders now, as we anticipate a very great demand at an early day with greatly advanced price. We have now on hand large quantity of raw and finished material, aud will turn out more just as fast as is possi- ble, but we are taking no orders, nor will we fill any more, but within thirty days we will be running double force and filling orders to our utmost capacity and getting a much better price for it than before. ''
 This is very encouraging and does not indicate harder times to come, and judgin ? from the increase in trade the past thirty days, and from the way the iron dealers look the coming year will be most fruitful one and not filled with failures, as has been predicted by some of the" "neVer sat- isfied claga ,'

ol1R RnsY MERCHANTS.

The merchants of Birmingham, generally speaking, are full of good cheer, and are ready for another years business, with a determination to keep their heads up, win pernla nent success and anchor themseves safely. No failures of any consequence need be expected. Most of them declare that they are enjoying the best holiday trade they have had in five years. The people began to buy early with cash, and have kept itsap to date. For weeks past the stores have been crowded and sales of all classes of goods have been immense. This is a token of general business revival in Birmingham, and there is no room for croakers now. The truth is Birmingham has an immense and prosperous trading constituency, and her merchants are tell- ing these people what inducements they can offer through the columns of the AGE HERALD. Jndicious and liberal advertis- ing always pays.

BURRIS-WOOD.

The greatest social event of the season was the marriage, on the evening of the 27th instant, of Mir. Charles B. Burris and Miss Rora Wood. The wedding was quiet one, taking place at the residence or the brides parents. At 8:30 o'clock Mrs. M. T. Woods soft and skillful touch was heard at the piano, and the bride and groom were seen entering the tastefully decorated parlor, where happy friends were gathered to witness the divinely appointed rite. The ceremony was performed by Rev. w. A. Hobson, pastor of the Baptist church, in beautiful and impressive manner.e
 The bride was dressed in cream silk, with ribbon and lace trimmings, and held in her left hand a bouquet of lovely byacinths. The groom wore black cutaway of the latest style.
 After partaking of an inviting lunch the party dispersed through the falling snow, wondering who would be next to fall happy victim to Cupid's darts. On the fol- lowing evening reception was given at the home of the groom's father, and a de- lightful occasion it was. The contracting parties are both highly connected and are social favorites.

IN THE COURTS.

John Shadwick, alias John Stover, was bound over to the United States grand jury in $500 bond by United States Commis- sioner Burney yesterday for perjury. Shadwick was the principal witness against Jack Whatley of Bibb county, who was tried in Commissioner Moseley's court a few weeks ago on a charge of furnishing raw material for an illicit distillery. Shad- wick swore he saw Whatley taking meal to the still and four other witnesses swore he did not do it. Whatley was discharged and a warrant was then sworn out against Shadwick charging him with perjury. His trial took place yesterday.
 Herbert Lucas of Bibb county was tried in United States Commissioner Wilson's court yesterday for retailing liquor without license. He was held to bail in the sum of term of the United States court in this city.
 OTHER COURTS.
 The motion and default dockets will be called in the city court tomorrow morning. An adjournment will then be taken until Wednesday, on account of Tuesday being a holiday.
 Circuit court will convene Tuesday and take up the docket for January.
 Criminal court will not be in session this week, but will convene again Monday, the Eth of January.
 ON HABEAs CORPUS.
 Robert Graham was before Judge Wilk- erson of the city court yesterday on habeas corpus proceedings. He is in the county jall charged wilh assualt with intent to murder. Judge Wilkerson, after listening to the testimony, declined to release the prisoner, who was returned to the jail.
 CORONER S INQUEST.
 Investigation of the Thornton murder was completed yesterday, and the jury em- paneled by the coroner, before whom the investigation was conducted, returned the following verdict:
 sworn over the body of the deceased, which was found dead on the macadamized road about four miles due west of Birming- ham, on the Opossum Valley road, ou the evening of the 21st of December, 1894, from the testimony find the body to be that of J.. F. Thornton and that he came to lis death from bullet discharged from 3S- callber pistol in the hand of some party or parties to the jury unknown.
 ssH. F. DUsENBERRY, Coroner" Tippett, Echols and Webb, the three white men who had been arrested as sus- poets in connection with this murder, were all released from custody yesterday.
 The murder is yet mystery and is likely to remain so. There is absolutely no clue to the perpetrators of this foul deed and it is extremely improbable that any will ever be found.
 RECORDERS COURT.
 Yesterday morning the recorder's court was very brief, only few cases being on the docket and number of them con tinued.
 Johanna Pearce, the negro woman who was arrested Friday by Captain Donaldson and Officer Disheroon for stealing lady, 8 cloak from the Bee Hive, mention of which was made in yesterdays AGE HERALD, was fined $25 and costs.
 Frank Shugrue, charged with disorderly conduct, was fined $l0 and costs and sem tenced to serve ten days extra on the streets. c. W. Gay, for disorderly conduct, was fined $10 and costs.
 Several other cases of minor importance were disposed of.

BALLOT REFORM.

The State of Virginia, like Alabama, IS discussing the advisability of calling constitutional convention and adopting an educational qualification, as Mississippi has done. Some of Virginia's politicians ob- ject to the convention on account of ex- pense, but all admit that something must be done. Tho North gave the negro the right of suffrage, with the hope that he would soldly vote the Republic ticket and thus keep that party in power. j3ut for this purpose the negro never would have been given unrestricted suffrage. The most liberal Northern Republicans admit the mistake. They concede that if the same conditions had prevailed in the North as in the South white su premacy would have prevailed there just AS it has in the South There are thirty five States in the Union with qualified sui frage, and all must come to it..
 The Baltimore Sun, speaking of the movement for ballot reform in the South, says:
 Northern rartisans have charged that whi te supremacy in the South has been accom- plished by fraud, but there Is more evil denee to support this allegation than there is 10 support the charges of wholesale brow beating and bribery of operatives and em- ployes by mill owners and capitalists In the North. There can be no question that in both sections great deal of 'moral suasion' has been employed to constran certain classes of voters. and that technicaties and sharp prac- tices have been resorted to without scruple. The difference between the two cases how ever, is that in the North the disfraDchise ment of voters has been carried on simply for party or machine advantages or for the bene fit of organized monopolies, whereas whatever of this sort has been done in the South has been done in response to the law ot self pre- serva ation.
 The position in which the Southern people are placed is, however, not of their chosins. and would long ago have been abandoned but for the hostile attitude of the Republican party and the threat ofcompusory Legislation. Now that these political menaces have ceased, there is reason to expect that there will be before long general movement in the South for such reforms as will put the exercise of suffrage upon a new and more satisfactory basis, and thus remove existing political grievances and the complaints and antago- Dism to which they give rise.

THREE BRAVE GIRLS
Making Their Way to Texas on Foot. One in Male Attire as
 Protector.

Rev. Chas. L. Whitmire, who came in on the Southern last night, says that three young girls, one of whom was dressed in male attire, created considerable comment at Eastobsga yesterday by the manner in which they are making trip to Honey Grove, Fannin county, Texas.
 All three of the girls are young, their ages running about Is, r and IS years They gave their names as Mamie, Eloise and Frankie Haines, and claimed to be from Asheville, N. c.
 Two of them were dressed fairly we'll in tailor made frocks of dark goods, and wore black sailor hats, while the other was dress ed in a cheviot suit of double breasted make, which looked nearly new, and wore new brown derby.
 The one dressed in male attire claimed to be brother of the other two girls, but her feminine appearance disclosed the fact that she was disguised.
 They say that they formerly lived at Asheville, N. o., but that about year ago their mother died and their stepfather bas treated them so badly that they decided to leave home and go to Honey Grove, Tex, where they claim to have an uncle named J. Forsythe.
 When they made this decision they had no money and could not get it without their stepfather knowing it, so they re- solved to walk the distance, following country roads altogether.
 Iney claim to have lett home on Friday, November 23, and have been travelling ever since, except two days while one of them was sick. They are said to be carry ing small grips and seem to be very we'll prepared for the journey.
 They stop along at the farm houses and are fed like all other tramps, with the ex- ception that they are treated more cour- teously than the old rounders because of the novelty they present.
 They are said to be coming in the direc- tion of Birmingham.
 They say they have no set time to get to their destination, but want to arrive there as quickly as possible.

Flower Is rich man, and imbued with the spirit of class distinctions. But not So with Governor Henry Laurence Mitchell of Florida. He is a typical American, and knows no difference between rich man and poor one. He cannot see why mah at the head of a great trust and monopoly should have an immunity from the der mands of law any more than a man rum ming one ehorse farm. Governor Mitchell bears in mind the Federal constitution, which requires one State to honor the de- mands made upon it by another State. So he at once honored the papers of the Gov ernor of Texas. The Standard Oil Com pany magHate may yet be compelled to go to Texas. He has expressed his intention of leaving it with the courts to say whether he has been guilty of the crime of conspir- acy as charged against him in Texas. He will be accorded that justice due the hum- blest citiZen-this much and no more.

REPUBLICAN POLICY.

The Republicans will control the next
 Congress- and it stands to reason that their first effort will be to make themselves safe in the South. This will be the field of their
 operations and their hope of recruits. They see here more inviting field than in any other section. What, then, will be their policy? One of force? No. we shall have no more Force bills. They will be as sweet
 as sugar. They will give protection to Southern sugar and other ! Southern industries. They will aid all they can in mpleting the Nicaragua canal. They will make liberal appropriations for our
 rivers and harbors. Instead of adopting
 proscriptive legislation they will adopt
 constructive legislation. They will desire
 Southern people to see the beneficent ef- fects of the Federal government under Re- publican control, and thus fall in love with
 it. They will adopt the liberal policy ad- yocated toward Ireland by Englapd's great
 statesman, MT. Bright, when he said: i've
 have already given to Ireland free churches and free schools, and I hope beforeiong we shall give them free land and free vote. s l propose new conquest of Ireland, without confiscation and without blood, with only the holy weapon of a frank and generous justice, (which is everywhere potent to bring together nations which have been long separated.o

THE proposed amendment to the em- ployer'si liability act borders dangerously onto class legislation. It places corpora tions, which are buss associations of indi- viduals, at the greatest disadvantage and threatens to seriously retard progress and development in Alabama. Legislation, to be in consonance with the spirit of the times, should seek to deal fairly with both the employer and employed.
