SHEFFIELD.
Cole Iron Furnace Goes Into Blast the
15th-Back Tax Collector Finds Meat
In the Toll Bridge.

Sheffield, March 11.--(Special Core
spondence 1.-THE Sheffield furnaces are
working like clock work, turning out
large quantities of splendid iron, which
finds ready sale at reasonable prices.
Most of the iron is shipped by barge to
ST. Louis and other western points.
There is quite contest now between the
railroads and the boats over the large
amount of freight from this place. This
fact will always give Sheffield an adVant-
age as an iron market.
We are looking forward to an event of
some Importance, which is to take place
here next Monday, the 18th inst. The big
furnace No. 2, of the Cole Furnace plant,
that has just been put in thorough re-
pair under the supervision of Manager
Jeff J. Gray, is TO be put in blast on that
date. Mr.. Gray is confident that he will
be able to turn out $50 tons daily from
this furnace. This furnace was built
originally for 125 tons Mai Wills, the
president Of the Cole furnaces, and all
Of the directors are expected to be pres

T Maj. Edward Dana, of Hamilton, On
tario, former citizen of this place, and
a prominent furnace man, is here on a
visit to his son, Mr.. e. e. Dana
The back tax assessor for this coun-
ty, Mr.. e. H. Lawrence, has begun work,
and already there is a rafting among
the dry bones.
The grand bridge across the Tennessee
river between this place and Florence
has escaped taxation for five years. The
tax on this property alone will pay the
expense of the tax assessor for this coun-
ty. The bridge toll on the bridge almost
cuts off communication by foot or buggy
between Florence, Sheffield and Tuscum-

Yesterday morning at 5:S0 o'clock the second section of freight train No 45 consisting of an engine and four empty coal cars. while on it's way to this city, on the Central of Georgia railroad, was wrecked at a trestle near Creswell, Ala.
 The train was crossing the trestle when one of the bents gave way and fell out. The train was derailed and Engineer J. D. Thompson, of Columbus, Ga, was slightly injured. Fireman J. R. Chap man, of Macon, was not so fortunate, as he had his right arm broken.
 The engine and cars were slightly dana ged, but caused a blockade of the road for quite a while. Passenger trains No. 1 and No. transferred their pas sengers, but yesterday evening the tres tie was repaired, and the damaged train moved out of the way The track is now clear, and trains are moving regularly.
 Superintendent T. s. Moies went to the scene of the trouble in person and work ed tirelessly until the tracks were opened uO,

"TRILBYn TOMORROW.
INVERTEBRATES

There can be but little doubt that Paul M. Potter's dramatization of DuMaurier's 8 famous novel, "Trilby," is the cleverest of this age. Outside of the fact that the book is deeply interesting. and is being discussed by all, the controver- tions it has caused have led considerably to it's popularity. Like all other of the idiosyncrases of human beings, the great desire at the present time is for some thing new. TTilby is all of this, and even more. It possesses the essentials of originality and realism. It is Hfelike in the portrayal of character as it eX- isted in the early sos, and nothing is lost in the dramatization. To satisfy the popular craze every effect that the readers mind suggests, is p2ndored to and touched up with the varnish of gen tie nature.
 The character of Trilby is the most unique of this century She is strange fascinating crea ture of the earth, with only a superficial knowledge of what is going on around her, but with all the worldly instincts that girls nature is heir to- As stage heroine she is efferVesA cent in a way that bespeaks the innocent vulgarity of the period in which she lives. She is surrounded with an atmosphere of refinement for the while which deftly touches on the extraordinary doings ot the people among whom she dwells., And as Du Maurier himself would have it in classifying the well-bred London youth with the heroine, she has here and there some sweet old darling, especially en- shaved by her kindness, grace, knowl- edge of life. and tender womanly sympa- thy, like the Dowager Lady Chiselhurst, or some sweet, young one, like the lovely Duchess of Towers, by her beauty, with, and good humor and sisterly interest in all he did. and who in some vague dis tant manner constantly reminded him of Trilby, although she was such great and fashionable lady.
 But just such darlings. old or young, were to be found with still higher ideals, in less exalted spheres, where there was no patronizng, nothing but deference and warm appreciation and delicate flat tery from men and women alike, and where the aged Venuses. whose prime was of the days of Waterloo, went with their historical remains duly shrouded like ivy-mantled ruins.
 Trlby was such a creature of her time, that the very recital of her curious, sim pie life, is all-inspiring and full of genius excitement. With MT. A. M. Palmer's excellent company of pay players, the drama has formidable adherents to truth and realistic presentation and under the very excellent management of the pro- duction which will be seen here at the opera house matinee and night, tOmor- row. The matinee will be special for la dies and children. 25 to 90 cents. At aight regular prices will prevail.
