NEW BUSINESS
FOR RAILROADS
Discussed By the Magnates Now
in the City.
A PROBABLE AGREEMENT
Today Between the Southern and Louis
vile and Nashville-B Birmingham
Southern Attracts Attention
Friction Passes Away.

President Samuel Spencer, of the South
ern railway; President Milton H. Smith, of
the Louisville and Nashville, and others of
the railway magnates who came to Bir-
mingham Saturday morning are still in the
city.
The Age-Herald of Sunday published in
SO far as facts could be obtained, the story
of the gathering of these leaders of the
railway world. 1t was largely speculation,
but it was very nearly the truth.
There was another meeting yesterday,
and it is said to have been very exciting.
Indeed, it is alleged that the meeting came
very nearly breaking up In a general dis
agreement, if not in very general hard
feeling. But in the afternoon good feeling
prevailed more or less, and the meeting,
which was held in President Smiths pri-
vate car, outside the union passenger sta
ton, was quite amicable. The crisis of the
conference will be reached today; but it Is
believed that matters in dispute will be
amicably adjusted.
There are at least two matters that are
causing friction. One is the Birmingham
Southern railway late the railroad of the
Tennessee Coal Iron and Railway COM
pany; and the other is the new business
that is developing in the district. The Br
mingham Southern is disposed to claim
goodly share of profitable traffic in the i'm
mediate district; but it seems that this line
| is somewhat handicapped in making de-
| mands, as it has as yet no direct outlet
from the immediate district. 1t can only
| reach the Mobile and Ohio railroad at Bloc
| ton by passing over other lines. These
| lines are controlled by the Southern and
| the Louisville and Nashville. For the Bir-
| mingham Southern to reach that desirable
| point would require the construction Of
| nearly thirty miles of line the which would
| require much money and time. Therefore
| the Birmingham Southern is said to be not
| in a position to offer defiance to the two
| great systems of which Mr.. Samuel Spencer
and Mr.. Milton H. Smith are the heads.
| The question of new business is one of
| serious concern to the Southern and to the
Louisville and Nashville. New business is
developing here every day, and 1t will go
on developing at a great rate After the
| great steel mill and rod mill get into opcr-
alton, the traffic of the district will lie
| tremendously increased. Added to this is
the extraordinary development of the coal
output and the increase in iron ore min
| ing and the production or pig IRON More
over Is the vast increase in the merchan-
disc freight of Birmingham. These are
matters of very serious import to all the
railroads. but most especially to the South
| ern and Louisville and Nashville
The amicable adjustment of this new
| business question is of really greater con-
| Germ to Birmingham than it is to the rail-
roads. And it will be pleasing to the bust
| ness men of the district to know that such
| adjustment will probably be arrived at to-
| day.

The board of revenue met in the room OPP

STATE CONVENTION
OFT. P. A. Will Be Well Attended BY
Birmingham Delegates.

Post of the Travellers Protective asso-
citation are preparing to take a large dele
cation to the state convention, which is 10
be held in Montgomery next week Bir-
mingham is entitled to twenty-five dele
gates, in addition to all the state officers
who have right to act as delegates. This
gives Birmingham thirty-four delegates in
all. Montgomery has about fifteen dele
eight delegates. post is entitled to one
delegate for each ten members it has.
1t Is thought that another fight will be
made by Montgomery this year to take the
state headquarters away from Birming
ham; in other words, to get the state Sec
rotary from this city. For, according to
lDe rules, the headquarters must be wher-
ever the secretary Is Colonel e. l.. Hg-
don, of this city, who has been the state
secretary ever since there has been an or
ganization In Alabama will be put in NOM
nation again by Birmingham, and the
prospects are that he will be elected. 1t is
said that w. A. Saffold, of Montgomery,
will be the candidate, which Post A will
put out against Colonel Higdon.
A number of gentlemen who are not dele
gates, have expressed a desire to go 20
Montgomery, and all such should send their
names at once to Colonel Higdon, in order
that the necessary arrangements can be
made in time.

Judge WilkerSon Decides Against

THE ACT CONSTITUTIONAL

States Court.
GIVEN

Tho board of revenue has scored first
blood In the contest with the county conf
mission to administer the affairs of Jeffer-
son county.
Judge w. w. Wilkerson, senior judge of
the city court yesterday rendered his de-
cision in the mandamus proceedings insti-
tuted by Roberts & Son against Kenneth
Il. Hawkins, to compel the payment of
warrant issued under authority Of tho
board Of revenue. holding that the act Gre
ating the board was CONSTITUTIONAL which
was in reality the principal point at issue.
he opinion was delivered from the bench
and was able and exhaustive showing tnat
the matter had been given careful consid-
Grafton.
Besides the attorneys for the interested
parties quite a number of prominent at
torneys were present and marked attention
was given to the judge. who delivered his
opinion in a clear voice, taking up in sue
cession the different points which had
been raised by the respondent. The action
of the governor in prosecuting the attack
upon the commissioners before the legisla-
ture and the probable effect of his action
upon that body was touched upon by the
judge, who held with the complainant that
he could not inquire into the history of the
case; intimating, however, that the action
of the chief executive was unconstitutional.
The objections to the act were overruled
and the demurrers to the answer Of the re-
spondent were sustained.
Gave Notice OF All Appeal
AS soon as the opinion was delivered the
commissioners, through their attorneys,
gave notice of an appeal and also that they
would prepare a writ of quo warranto in
volving the same questions of law in order
to bring the question directly between the
two bodies, that the commissioners might
comply with the rule of the United States
supreme court, that all persons claiming
to have been deprived of their rights must
appear in their own behalf.
This writ will be formally heard by Judge
Wilkerson this morning, who will render
the same decision and both cases will be
taken to the supreme court the mandamus
proceedings under supercedeas in order to
stop the payment of the warrant under the
decision
1t is probable that the cases will be
argued before the supreme court on the 18th
inst. submitted. In event that Judge Will
kerson is sustained the case will be taken
to the United States supreme court, which
indicates that the commissioners are re-
solved to fight the matter to the end.
The case has been stubbornly contested,
the board of revenue being represented by
Cabaniss & Weakley and the commissioners
by Head & Ward, f. S. White and G. R.

STRIKE SETTLED.
Trouble Grew Out of Way Powder Was
Issued.

The strike among the miners Of the ore
mines at Redding, Musooda, FOSSIL, Wades
Gap and Alice was one of very short dur
alton, according to the reports received
yesterday, and in all probability the men
will go back to work either tomorrow or
day after Tom Worthington, who is now
operating these mines under contract for
the Tennessee company, was busily at work
all day yesterday adjusting the differences
with the miners, and, as stated, everything
seems to be harmonious once more.
The trouble, which took the shape of a
strike Saturday morning, all grew out of
the manner in which powder is used. In
ore mining the mine operator subjects con-
tracts to a number of men and they in turn
employ men who do the actual mining.
Heretofore these contractors have been
paid all that was due them every after
noon, in commissary checks, which could
beAcashed at the end of the month"; If not
used. They have also been in the habit Of
drawing every afternoon enough powder TO
run them during the following day. In
other words, they are paid up in full every
night, and, in addition, were advanced,
s. or $40 worth of powder, which was to
be taken out of the money they earned the
following day.
When Mr.. Worthington took charge of
these mines a short time ago he amended
this system, in that he did not advance
powder to the sub-contractors with no Sc
curity that it would be paid for. This, it is
said, was the cause of the strike, though
.-e miners say there were some other COM
plants. All of them are being readily ad
jUSted, however.

that much business will be despatched.
