THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN
Said to Have Been Leased to the Southern Railway Company AT A RENTAL OF S1,0OO,OOO Per Annum for Ninety-Niue Years-Rumor Is Not Confirmed or Denied at Head
 quarters in Washington
Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington, Jan. 2i.--It Is rumored that the Southern Railway company has closed lease with the city of Cincinnati and the officials of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railroad company for the Cincinnati Southern railroad for term of ninety-nine years at an annual rental of $1 OOO,OOo.
 Inquiry at the offices of the Southern Railway company in this city failed to find any person who would confirm or deny the rumor.
 The Cincinnati Southern is owned by the city of Cincinnati, and is being operated by the Cincinanti, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway company under lease that does not expire for ten years. It Is said that this company has agreed to transfer it's leasehold for a consideration.
 Bills have recently been introduced into the Ohio legislature authorizing the dis position of the road either by lease or sale, but in view of the fact that a prop osition to sell the road was submitted to the people of Cincinnati some time ago and was voted down, 1t is not thought pos sible that the sale of the property would meet with the ratification of the citizens of Cincinanti.
 The Cincinnati Southern extends from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, and forms a part of the Queen and Crescent system. The Southern railway now controls the Alabama Great Southern division of the Queen and Crescent, between Chattanooga and Meridian. Miss, and the acquisition of the Cincinnati Southern would give them almost entire control of this system.
 It has been known for some time that the Southern railway has been after the Cincinnati Southern, and the confirmation of the rumor would not be surprise in railroad circles.

ATHLETICS Al A SMOKER.
A Party of One Hundred Passed Two Pleasant
 Hours.

The Birmingham Athletic club last night entertained a number of its friends at a very pleasant smoker"
 About one hundred were present and the hours from g to Il o'clock were very en- joyably spent. Light refreshments were served, and the empty kegs showed how they were enjoyed. Prof. Miles was mas- ter of ceremonies, which duty he performed with an adept hand.
 In clouds of smoke, Solon Jacobs, presi- dent of the club, made very short speech welcoming the guests and stating the main object of the gathering, namely, the or ganizaton of the teams to compose the Athletic club basket ball league.
 There were about thirty who signified their intention of playing, and it was de- cided to leave the selection of the teams and the arrangement of the schedule to committee composed of Prof. c. H. Miles, Ernest Redd, Sid B. Jona and E. T. Will COX.
 This committee will arrange these de- tails at once, and the first game is an- nounced for next Friday evening.
