BEN SMITHS ESCAPE.
Nelson's Friends Insist That Foul Play
HAS Been Done Him--Reported
Ticket Deal Again Discussed.

"A gentleman recently returned from
Texas states that Special Officer Nelson
was reported to have returned to Hous-
ton after Ben Smith escaped from him
and sold the two tickets for railroad
transportation for himself and prisoner.
He was reported to have had considera-
bic money.
No report has been received from the
second special officer sent out by the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway COM
pany to look for Nelson. 1t is supposed
that the latter has gone to other parts.
Nelson has many friends In and around
this city who scout the idea that he will
fully let Smith escape and insist that
foul play has been done him. \ Even
since the reported sale of the railroad
tickets these friends insist that their
confidence has not been misplaced.
The case is puzzling the officials of the
Tennessee company. who are doing all
in their power to locate either Nelson or
Smith or both. sf'H7Hzf7. ~
Smith is said to have assumed the name
of William Dill in Texas. He had be-
come very popular in his adopted home
and, it is said, his friends there furnished
him money and other means of getting
away.

TWENTY F1RsT STREET. BRIDGE.
A Citizen Suggests Running Street Cars
On IT,

Yesterday a citizen of this city said
to a State Herald reporter:
ut would be a good. idea If some equit-
able arrangement could be made between
the city and the street car company SO
as to run the street cars across the TWen-
ty-first street bridge. By the eXtraordl-
nary caution and care that the railroads
have used up to this time there has been
no serious accident at the Twentieth
street crossing, though several cars have
been struck by locomotives On account
of the net, work of tracks at the Twen-
tieth street crossing it is not only dan
genous but the cars and passengers are
jostled in making this crossing.
II don't know" continued the gentle
man. whether the street car company
at this time would want to go to the
expense of moving its tracks or whether
If they did The city authorities would be
willing for-the cars to run across the
bridge. However, 1T would be a good idea
to see what could be done along this line.
1t would greatly add tosthe safety of the
people in the Southern portion of the
city, who have to make this cnossing in
order to reach the city"

Business Very Bright For Birmingham
Pittsburg Getting Frightened Over

The future of the iron and steel bust
ness is very bright. according to Mr. N.
F. Thompson The break in the steel
rail pool has set the wheels of Pittsburg
to spinning. One railroad has put on
5000 additional msn. Mr.. Thompson says
the Pfttsburg men are afraid dat steel
will be made SO cheaply in Birming-
ham that they can't successfully. COM
pete with this district. Mr.. Carnegie,
who spent several days in Birmingham
some six or seven years ago. said to Mr..
Thompson that Birmingham had n bright
future. Mr.. Thompson's visit to Biz
mingham is not altogether of social
nature. If his enterprise turns out sue
cessfully 1T will add greatly to Birming-
hams steel interests.
