INDUSTRIAL.

The Consolidated Electric company's immense plant on Powell avenue is fast nearing completion, and when turned over to it's owners will be the biggest of the kind in the south.
 
 The furnaces are kept busy and stacks that have been idle for several years are going into blast.
 
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has opened an ore mine at Green Spring, about three miles south of the city. The company has put in an electric plant, so that work can be car ried on at night as well as during the day This ore was rejected by the fur naces several years ago, because it was not considered available for making iron, but now the furnaces are eager to get it.

Gomez Besieges Puerto Principe.

New York, Aug. 15.-Advices from Nu- evitas. Cuba, state that the town of Pu- erto Principe is besieged by Gen. Gomez with an army of $500 men, well armed, one field piece and 600 spearsman. The investment had lasted two weeks on August and equalization was expected at any moment. The spanish troops un. der Mello made sortes on July 20, 27 and 2S and suffered a repulsc each day, al- though July 27 the Spanish rallied after being driven under cover of wooden forts outside the city, and made charge upon the insurgents. This final effort of the Spanish forces was made With great VIZ or and the insurgents were forced to re- treat to the woods.

BASEBALL.

Birmingham has often been the victim exhibition was pronounced by the 200 or more unfortunates who witnessed it as being entitled to the bale of hay and each of the opposing hines to have an equal share.
 Flaming posters announced a game of ball between the tail enders of the South ern league and the Birmingham Athletic club team. The former were on the grounds all right, but only one of the Athletics and nine suits showed up. The remaining eight of the home team was made up of visitors and members of the Rensfords.
 For once the game was called on time and the rooters settled down to witness at least fair exhibition of the national game. How badly disappointed they were could easily have been imagined had a passerby noticed their counte- nances as they rode home in the fast waning daylight.
 After the dust of the fray had blown away a score of 15 to 3 in favor of Mont gomery's cracker-jacks was announced, and it is supposed, owing to the fact that the game was called at the end of the eighth inning, that an adjournment had been taken for fear of encroaching on the coming Sabbath.
 There were two brilliant plays. one by Rappold of the cracker-jacks and the other by Beresford of the local combine.
 Several members of the opposing teams made grand-stand plays by their magni- ficent errors and were liberally rewarded with applause
 Conniff of the locals did fairly well in the box.

The Formation of Mountains.

ture Of mountains. Prof. Niles states that

which have there been deposited are some

plain. the same formations reach only
about 900 feet. the same principle Of forma-
ton being also known to exist in the casa
Of foreign mountains. and IL accepted as
a fact thoroughly proven, u Is likewise
shown that The material which forms
the mountain beds Is exceedingly coarse.

made near the shores of continents where
the continental rivers, laden with earth
material. had their velocity checked by
the oceans and dropped first the larger
and heavier material. a fact made evident
today by an examination OF any OF the

gued that the causes Of mountains NAV
