People living in the cities are prone
to believe that the increase in telephone,
telegraph and trolley wires increase the
danger from electric storms, writes Ed

the danger, since it is shown that where

it and discharge it only at the end Of the

that of the 200 lightning accidents every

far greater danger. They account for

DIR. BELGRAFF.

It is a long time since so much enthus- iasm has manifested itself over a the atrical occurrence, but the fact of its existence is really intensified by the names which appear in the case Of 'Dr. Belgraff," which comes to OBrien's 8 opera house Monday night Its cast contains a remarkable array of names, embracing as it does at least nine per sons celebrated for conspicuously great work upon the stage. Three other names appear, not in the cast. however, which are as we'll known in New York or nearly so.f They are Jose A. Phy- sioc, E. G. Unit and w. W. Furst. MT. Physioc has just completed all of the scenery used by John Drew, E.. H. Soth- ern, Charles Frohman's stock company, while W. W. Furst is the well known composer of "The Isle of Champagne, the comic opera In which Thomas o. Sea- brooke starred so successfully a number of seasons. All of these circumstances stamp the event of one of the notable occurrences of the year in Birmingham and it is gratifying to record the fact that most of the seats are now sold, which insures such greeting for the distinguished players as their respective positions among their fellows entitle them to. All of the details of the per formance have been so fully made known that nothing remains to be said. It will be memorable occasion, one which will live in the history of the stage in this city forever.

WILL ADJUST THE RATE.

Atlanta, Jan. 6-The state railroad commission heard arguments today on the application of the railroads for a restoration of the 20 per cent. cut in rates on fertilizers. This cut was or dered to take effect on Jan. 1. If it is allowed to stand the roads in the state will lose $200000 in revenue. They claim that they cannot afford to stand this re- duction and that the effect of it would be to take it out of the salaries of the em- ployes and from the train service. The roads made very strong showing. It had been stated that the farmers would get the benefit of the reduction, but not @ farmer has been heard from. All the testimony in favor of the reduction came from the manufacturers and the middle men. The roads claim that the benefit to the farmers would amount to only 8 cents per acre. No decision was made, but 1t is probable that the order will be rescinded with the understanding that all rates will be readjusted in the spring.
