ALABAMA LEADS ALL.
Successfully Bids Against Pennsylvania and the
East for Sewer Pipe Contract for
jacksonville, Fla.

The Howard Harrison Iron company
of Bessemer. 1t is reported, has secured
the contract for supplying 1900 tons of
iron sewer pipe to be used in extending
the water works system of Jacksonville,
Fla. The Howard-Harrison company
had to compete with all the pipe factories
of the country for this contract but the
fact that a superior quality of pipe can
be produced in Alabama at a lower price
than elsewhere enables the Bessemer
people to underbid all others and thus Sc
cure the order
With reference to this contract the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted by the board
of trustees of the Jacksonville water
works few days ago are reproduced:
Resolved, That the lowest bidders for
cast iron sewer pipe are the McNeal Pipd
and Foundry company of Burlington, N.
j., the Howard Harrison Iron company
of Bessemer Ala, and w. A. Bisbee of
Jacksonville, Fla, and hat said parties

and bonds will be drafted In duplicate

that the same be executed to this board

contracts or reject all bids and wire the

A Box Factory Burned.

Atlanta, Oct 19.-The paper box and
bag factory of Wellhouse e. Sons on De-
catur street was burned this morning.
The loss is 100000 and is fully covered
by insurance. Wellhouse & Sons occu-
pied a new three-story brick building.
which was completed and equipped with
new machinery last spring. They en-
ployed 100 men and girls. The foreman
got the girls out without a panic and
all were accounted for after the fire.
When the employees began work this
morning they complained of escaping
gas. One of the men was looking for
the leak when the fire broke out and it is
supposed that the gas became ignited.
The building is a total loss. Wellhouse
& Sons have rented a building and will
keep right on in business. They will
build as soon as the debris can be cleared
away.

CHIEF OF UNCLE SANS SCOUTS.

Col. w. F. Cody, or Buffalo Bill as he
is more Familiarity known, is so we'll
known at home and abroad that little
remains to be said about him, except that
he still stands at the head of one of the
greatest amusement concerns of this or
any other country His reputation is not
entirely in the amusement line. Long
before he ever dreamed of going into that
business he had won fame and honor for
his many brave deeds as chief of scouts
of the United States army at the time
the red men ruled. He treasures many
autograph letters from generals in the
army, commencing him for his bravery
and forethought, which saved him many
times from the tomahawk of the treach-
erous Indians. Indeed the story of his
early life reads more like romance than
reality. His presence alone in an exhi-
bition like that of the 'Wild West" would
stamp 1t as the highest order of merit.
The exhibitions given under his direction
have everywhere met with triumphant
success on both sides of the Atlantic
His tour of Europe was a series of en-
thusiastic ovations, which were repeated
at the great Worlds fair in Chicago. In
fact. the wild West" show in 1893 was
scarcely secondary in importance to the
great White City itself. The same may
be truthfully said of the exhibition given
during the summer of last year at Am
brose park, New York.
Associated with Col. Cody for a num-
Der of years has been Mr.. Nate Salisbury
a man of expanded ideas and keen per-
ceptons of business qualities. To these
two for this season has been added Mr.
James A. Bailey, now and for a number
of years the head of the great Barnuu
show.
This remarkable managerial trio have
devoted great care and forethought and
gone to great expense in the enlargement
and improvement of the entertainment
for the present season, and magnificent
programme has been prepared.
In addition to representations of Indian
warfare attacks on and rescue of stage
coaches and settlers cabins, riding by
trained cowboys. Mexican vaqueros. a
congress of rough riders of the world has
been added, including Russian Cossacks.

COL. BANKHEAD PLEASED
With the Result of His Bout With Mr.. Clarke.
Talks With State Herald
Reporter

Hon. J. H. Bankhead reached the city
last night from Montgomery. When
asked by a State Herald man for list of
the appointments of the joint discussions
between him and Mr.. Clarke Colonel
Bankhead said that they had not yet
been agreed upon, Mr.. Clarke not being
ready to make them, giving as his rea-
son press of business and sickness in his
family" Colonel Bankhead expressed
himself as being well pleased with the
outcome OF the debate in Montgomery.
Judging from his appearance and the
pleasing frame of mind evidenced by the
tone of his conversation, Colonel Bank
head evidently came out first best in his
bout with the blue-eyed boy of destiny.
