MINISTER'S MUST DECIDE
Mayor Drennen's Reply to Mormon
 Elders Petition

Mayor Drennen hasn't had very much time to read and digest religious literature since his return. In the matter of peti- ton from several Mormon elders asking the privilege of distributing their litera- ture here, Mayor Drennen has called in the aid of number of spiritual advisers, as will be seen from the following letter:
 Birmingham, Ala, October D. 1899.
 Elder T. H. Humphres, City.-Dear Sir: Replying to your petition of the 2nd inst, allowing you to distribute your books and circulars in this city, will say that I have not had time to fully investigate the pa- pers left with me and will therefore have to ask that you furnish me with a letter from Drs. L. S. Handley, J. G. Murray, c. c. Kelly, B. D. Gray, M. Newfield and Father O'Reilley, stating that in their opinion there would be no objections by the citizens of Birmingham to such books and circulars distributed in this city.
 Upon the receipt of such letters I will issue the permit asked for Yours very truly, ,4
 (Signed) W. M. DRENNEN,
 Mayor.

 Provisions.

 1.-The statement is made on the authority of friends of Mrs. H. B. Plant, widow of the founder. of the Plant system of rail- roads and steamboats,t that legal proceedings will be instituted to set aside the provis- ions of MT. Plants will and obtain for the widow and her son a portion of the dead millionaires estate. The will provided only for the payment of a stated income to Mrs. Plant and her son, the entire estate being held in trust for the benefit of the grand son.
 Mrs Plant, who Is still comparatively young, was the second wife of H. B. Plant and her son was step son of the ffnan, fer. It is asserted that Mir. Plant desired that his estate should grow to large propor- tions and therefore he refrained from di- viding 1t among the members of his famiiys IL r.. |. .A..-.. IA si4l-ll-,-

THE PROMOTERS

 Proposition. AMPLE CAPITAL SECURED Only Await Action of the City Council
Only Await Action of the City Council on Question of Franchise-Ross c. Smith, One of Petition
 CTS, Talks ofPlans

The proposed new street railway system proposition, and from all appearances is backed by earnest promoters and plenty of capital.
 As matter of fact the deal has been under quiet headway for some time and considerable preliminary work has already been done The ground has all been gone over and the matter given pretty thorough attention in various details.
 MT. smith Talks
 Hon. Ross c. Smith, one of the petition CTS for the franchise, in conversation with an Age-Herald reporter yesterday afternoon said:
 eve have gone at this matter in good faith and mean business. We going to build the road if the city will grant us a franchise. We have gone over the matter thoroughly and are confident that a line built over the proposed route will not only develop the city of Birmingham but will give the public additional transportation facilities and be a profitable investment for stockholders. There is a great future for Birmingham, and we know that the construction or tn1S line VIII neip 10 1nake Birmingham This line penetrates lot of new and undeveloped territory, from a street railroad standpoint, and the time has come when a street railroad will aid materially in this development
 Route is Feasible
 '.As far as the route is concerned, that is perfectly feasible. We have had praeti- cal street railroad man and a competent engineer at work going over and mapping out the route for some time, and their re- port has been very satisfactory one.
 Immediately after some action is taken on the petition now before the mayor and board of aldermen, we will incorporate and begin active work arranging necessary pre- liminaries. The matter of the amount of capitalization and name of the concern has not yet been settled upon. We are, how- ever, supplied with ample capital to carry out our plans, and if the mayor and board will grant us the franchises asked for we will build the road We ask for six months after the franchises are granted in which to begin work, and We will be ready for work before the expiration of that time.'

Uobson Theatre Company

The Auditorium will offer next week to it's patrons the Robson Theater company in a select repertoire at popular prices. The bill for Monday night will be Camille, and at this performance lady will be ad- mitted free with each paid S0-cent ticket. The Columbus press gives the company the following very fattering notice:
 "Lovers of good theatrical attractions who were not present at Sprngers opera house last night to see the Robson Theater company in The Fatal Check have missed one of the best performances of the season. Only a far-sized audience was present dn- deed too small to greet such a play as was presented last night, but the gathering was ore which certainly evinced a keen appre- ciation of the unbroken chain of stirring and Imaginable incidents characterzing the brisk performance.
 Temporarily the oppressiveness Of a summer nights heat was forgotten. The play was a clear-cut plot and was enter taining from start to finish.
 Hast nights performance gave the mem bers of tine company a chance to show theil ability, which they did in a way that pleased every one"

SWITCHMAN HURT
Nose Dozier Caught Between Cars at
 Gate City

Yesterday afternoon at Gate City, Moses Dozier, a colored switchman in the employ of the Southern railway, happened to an accident which will in all probability keep him in the hospital for several days. 'Dozier was one of the Gate City switch crew and was in the act of making a coupling when two cars came together, mashing him about the groins. The accident was not witnessed by any of the crew but it seems that he attempted to pass between the cars and misjudged the speed of the nov ing portion of the train. He was brought into the city and taken to the hospital

PIG IRON RATES
 WILL BE ADVANCED
Central Traffic Association An-
 nounCeS an Increase.
EFFECTIVE ON NOVEMBER
Chemically Prepared Ties Being Test. ed by the Burlington Railroads Working for Big Fair Busi-
 ness-Passenger Men

The Central Traffic association has an nounced that on and after November 1 an increase of about 50 cents per ton will be made on all pig iron from points south of the Ohio river This practically advances southern iron 50 cents per ton. as far as points in the Central Traffic association territory Is concerned.
 There was some intimation that this ad- vance would not be effective until January l. but the advance will become effective at an earlier date, as announced.
 Chemic ally Prepared Ties
 Cast off ties figures heavily in the annual expenditure of big railroad companies and there are railroad prophets who vouch the information that in years to come nearly every big railroad system in this country will be replacing old unsafe and worn out ones with the chemically prepared tie. The cost of preparing this tie for increased life and service is small and already the Bur lington is. erecting a tie preserving plant at Elkmont, s. D.
 When the plant is in operation, 5000 ties a day will be treated by the new process
 fs' preserving them. It is known as the
 chloride of zinc process, and is the same dS CDdI uSeu Oy lHe 5dilb T . idifioepo GU Las Vegas, N. M., and by the Southern
 Pacific road in California. The Burlington will be the first railroad in the northwest to take advantage of this process. The ties
 are placed in a large iron cylinder, the air is pumped out, and the ties heated by steam; then the chemicals are pumped in,
 and the ties kept in the solution under a high pressure until they are saturated, when they are removed.
 Big Fair Business
 Local passenger men say that they expect to do an enormous business in and out of Birmingham during the State Fair. They argue that the people have plenty of money now and that with the enor- mously low rates made will not fail to bring about big business. Where necessary ex- 1 fra trains will be run to accommodate the | travel.
