TRANSFER CHECKS
 BEING ISSUED By the Birmingham Traction Co.
 Over lis Lines.
MUST PUT UP DAMAGE BOND
Before Cars Gan Be Run Across Track of Birmingham Railway & Electric Go. at tWoodlawn-C Commission
 CTS Named to Fix Amount.

On Friday the Birmingham Traction con- pany started the innovation which has been talked of for some time of issuing transfer checks to all passengers desiring them, on the Gate City lne the North Birmingham line and the Highland Avenue and Belt railroad.
 By means of these checks a passenger can ride for cents from Lakeview through the city, either to North Birmingham or to Gate City. Or he can go in the opposite direction in the same manner. This piece of enterprise on the part of the Traction company is greatly appreciated by Its patrons. The checks are issued to the pas- sengers individually, and are good for fifty minutes after the passenger leaves the car on which they are issued.
 Yesterday morning E. H. Cabaniss, the special commissioner appointed by Judge Porter to hear the case between the Trac- ton company and the Birmingham Railway and Electric company over the famous Woodlawn crossing. yesterday morning ap-
 pointed James A. Allen, w. H. Morris and | Captain A. B. Johnson as the commission l CTS to fix the amount of compensation ana
 damages which the Traction company shah pay the Electric company for the crossing and for using 200 feet of East Lake avenue,
 where the crossing is made. These com- misisoners are to report back to Judge Cabaniss' within ten days.
 As soon as the Traction company pays this amount or puts up bond for it, it is said that they will immediately begin to run their Gate City cars across the Electric companys track. The judges in deciding the injunction which has heretofore re- strained them from doing this, intimated that as soon as the condemnation proceed ings had been gone through with, the in-
 junction would be removed. Even If the result of the condemnation proceedings are contested by either side, it is said that the | Traction company can continue to use their crossing until the case is decided. The Traction company has nearly finished | the work of putting up the trolley wire on | the North Birmingham line, and of connect | ing this line with the Gate City line at Sec-
 ond avenue and Nineteenth street. All of | the work will Have been finished by October | l, and about that time the line will be for | mally opened The exact date will be an- | nounced later. The three cars which will be used on this line arrived in Birmingham several months ago, so there will be no
 hitch in having the rolling stock of the road
 ready. These cars are counterparts of the Gate City cars.

 Money drawn last Sunday for the past
 months salary is all gone and few of

 terday there were several little scenes of
 this kind on the streets. One fellow who
 had the appearance of having spent sev-
 eral days on "bender," halted a gentle
 man on First avenue and boldly asked for
 nickle flor car fare" Much to the fel-
 lows surprise he received one fare ticket
 from the gentleman's book, and, with |, look of disgust he staggered on up the ave-
 nue. Reaching the Morris he found a group
 of officers in the lobby. Selecting a soft
 hearted lieutenant he unfolded his tale of
 woe, and the lieutenant was short a quar-
 ter. The private was a few moments later
 seen in the land of snakes and wild ami
 mas, wildly procaiming the good qualities
 of his captain. Another fellow, less bold,
 was in the Florence lobby, going from man
 to man, offering to sell his coat off his
 back for one dollar. He was very free to
 say that it was whisky he wanted, and
 whisky he must have"

Ten Open-Hearth Furnaces Larg- est Ever Pittsburg Par
 ties Were Lucky.

The Alabama Steel and Ship Building company closed contracts yesterday aggre- gating in the neighborhood of $2O0 OOO
 The contracts were for a blooming mill, a furnaces, all to form a part of the steel plant being erected at Ensley City.
 The contract for the iron work of the ten open hearth steel furnaces is the largest ever let in the world.
 This about closes the contract letting fo1 the bulk of the important work The con- tracts provides that this work will all be completed about April 1, 1899.
 Representatives of several big concerns have been in the city several days in con- ference with mmbers of the Steel and Ship Building company The contracts were all awarded to Pittsburg firms
 To Pittsburg Concerns
 The forty-four inch blooming mill will be put in by the Frank Kneelannd Machine company. The ingots of steel are carried from the furnaces into the blooming mill where they are transferred into slabs or blooms. An average ingot is about 1Sx24 inches.
 The contract for the construction of the producer building was awarded to Ritter X Conley, Pittsburg firm. Gas is the fuel used in the manufacture of steel and in this building will be stationed the produc- CTS
 Biggest Contract Ever Let
 The same firm also secured the contract for the iron work around the ten open hearth steel furnaces which is the largest of it's kind ever let in the world. The iron work is merely the shell which covers the brick part of the furnaces. Work at Ensley is now being carried on with vim and other contracts will follow rapidly until deals are closed for every jart of the giant industry. Work under these new contracts will begin just as soon as things can be made ready at Ensley. A contract was also made yesterday for a number of CahaIl boilers, which will ag- gregate 4,OOO horse power. They are known as the vertical tubular boilers and are cov- cred by patent. Local firms were asked to bid them, but their nSureS were Salu to be much higher than those of out-of- town concerns. The contract was let to Pittsburg parties.
 Engine Runs Away An accident occurred at Ensley yester- | day which sheer good luck prevented from resulting in something serious. The gov l ernor of the engine in connection with the l brick works got out of gear and the vince | began going at fearful rate. The vince | finally bursted, doing some damage to tht | building. It happened that no one was il | the engine room at the time and fatality | was likely avoided. It will take severa | days to repair the engine and get it il | running shape.
 | Contractors who are not directly con | nected with the building of the steel mil
 report that numerous lesser deals are beini | made for business houses and residences | There will be quite a number of stores ant it is said that a bank will be started. Rea
 estate is in demand in that neighborhood
