IISS ELLIS HEARD SHOTS
Had Told Her That He Intended Tax
 ing His Life.
NEITHER WOUND WAS SERIOUS
and His Relatives Say He Has Not Been Himself for
 a Week.

Will o. Whitaker, formerly a clerk in the First National bank of this city, tried to kill himself last night just after leaving young lady, upon whom he had called. He turned a revolver upon himself, firing two shots, neither of which were fatal It is supposed that the young man was tempo rarily insane.
 Early last evening he called upon Miss Eula Ellis, who resides with her father at 26O0 Fourth avenue, He has been paying devoted attention to the young lady for some time, and he went to depart-about 9;3O-he told her that he was going to kill himself. The young lady thought he was joking and pad but little attention to his threat. The couple might have had lovers quarrel, but the young lady would not dis cuss the affair. He mounted his bicycle and rode off up Twenty-sixth street, supposedly toward his home.

CATHOLIC MISSION CHURCH
At Brookside Dedicated by Bishop Ed
 ward F. Allen

The Rt. Rev. Edward P. Allen, bishop of Mobile, dedicated the Catholic mission church at Brookside, Jefferson county, yesterday. The bishop, accompanied by number of priests. including Father Brady, of Anniston, and Father Kennedy, of this city, left Birmingham yesterday morning via the Southern, and on arriving at Brookside the party was met by two societies of men in regalia, headed by a band. Prelate and priests were escorted to the door of the church, where the bishop gavo a blessing and made a few remarks in which he expressed great pleasure at be- ing present with the Catholics of that com- munity. After dinner the ceremonies of dedication took place according to the Roman ritual The bishop, vested in rochet, cape and mitre, and carrying his episcopal staff, appeared at the entrance of the little ediflce and began the office by chanting an antiphon. He then made circuit around the building sprinking it with holy water On entering the church he sprinkled the congregation and on reaching the altar he sang the litany of the saints, the attending clerics respond ing After prayers and scripture lessons the bishop delivered an interesting dis
 
 course on the efficacy of the sacraments. The building was crowded and the right reverend speaker received the closest at- tention.
 The Brookside congregation is composed of Bohemians and the priest in charge of the mission, the Rev Father Robert, of the Benedictines, breaches in Slavic dia- lect.
 Bishop Allen, Father Brady and Father Kennedy returned to Birmingham in private conveyance.
 The bishop confirmed large class at Blocton on Sunday. Some time in June he will dedicate the new church at Anniston. Any Catholic church may be dedicated but not until a church is free from debt can it be consecrated. The office of consecration is more elaborate and imposing than that of dedication, holy oil being used in con- secration ceremonies.

DID NOT RESUME
More Legal Formalities in the Rolling
 Mill Case

Contrary to expectation, the Birmingham rolling mill did not resume operations yes- terday. The mill has been closed down two weeks for the purpose of taking stock, with a view to the formal transfer of the prop erty to the Republic Steel company, to which company it was recently sold.
 The reason the mill was not reopened for business yesterday is legal
 Application was made some time ago to the chancery court to dismiss the re- ce.vers, and the court will pass upon that application this morning. If it is granted the court will appoint a disinterested out slider to value the stock of the mill as set forth in the inventory and verify the list, after which an order will be made to re- sume work forthwith.
 It is expected that all formalties will be compiled with by some time tomorrow, and work will be resumed Thursday morning.
 MT. Caldwell is in Chicago at present on business connected with the Republic pany.

TUSKEGEE
Poor House Keeper Shoots One of the
 Inmates

Tuskegee, Ala. May 15-(SpeciaD- evening Miss Margaret Moore of Oxford Ga. who is taking a course in instrument tai music in the A. c. F. college, gave a re- cital to large and apprecative audience She was assisted by Mrs. Mueller, who rem dered several vocal selections. Miss Moore, who proved herself to be an excellent per- former will graduate in music at the ap- preaching commencement
 A difficulty occurred near here few days ago between John Raford, who has charge of the poor house. and John Simmons one of the inmates, in which the latter received serious wound. It seems that Raiford or dered Simmons to do some work about the left and returning with a gun met Sim mons approaching the house. He then drew h.s gun on him and fired, the shot taking effect in his breast. Simmons then en- tered the house, followed by Raiford, who forced the door open and fired again, but without effect Raiford claims that Sim mons, who is a cripple, had threatened his life.
 Mrs D. J. Wadsworth of Birmingham is here visiting relatives.

BE ERECTED AT BR00KSIDE
New Coal Mine Will Be Opened There in June.
 a4Hs
No. 1 GOES IN BLAST TOMORROW
Business of the Concern Never as Flour ishing As At Present Cost of the New Ovens Something
 Like $25,OOO

The Sloss Iron and Steel company is ovens, to be erected near Brookside. The company will also open up new coal mine at that place on June 1, the slack coal from which will be turned into the coke ovens. Furnace No. 1, which has been out of oper- atons for repairs. will go in blast today.
 The building of the coke ovens is necessi- tated to supply the company's four irou furnaces. The putting in blast of No. has been delayed on this account. The cost of the improvements will be about $25 GOO. The officials assign as a reason for these exten- sions that the business of the concern has never been as four.shing as at present.
 Opening a New Coal Mine
 The Sloss company has for some time past been opening up a new coal mine at New Found, near Brookside, and spur of the Southern railroad has already been run out to it. The mine is in the famous Pratt seam. which is about four feet thick. Its daily output will amount to between four and five hundred tons, the lump coal to VI NoSN III U is'NC eNiu tiic SldCh u pS buliiGu into coke in the new ovens. The coke will then be shipped to Birmingham to supply the company's furnaces.
 The contract for the erection of the coke ovens is now being let, and work on them will begin in the near future. They will be of the most improved and up-to-date type of the bee hive oven. The cost will be something like s250 an oven making the to- tai cost of the investment about S25 0O0.
 No. Win Go in Blast Tomorrow
 Tomorrow morning the Sloss company in- tends putting in blast it's city furnace, No 1. For the first time in over eight years the company will then have all four of it's furnaces in blast at one time. The ca- pacity of No. 1 is two hundred tons daily. so that the company's entire output from it's two city furnaces and the two at North Birmingham will be increased from six to about eight hundred tons daily. It is Il splendid advantage to be able to put in blast what is practically a new furnace in these days of costly pig iron. The com pany would probably have put this fourth idle furnace in blast months ago, but they have never been supplied with enough coke for all four of their furnaces at one tme With the new ovens, which are to be erect ed at New Found, the supply will be ample.

PURCHASE PRICE $35,O0O
The Deal Has Negotiated by Graves
 and Johnston.
TIE PURCHASER YET UNKNOWN
Although it is Thought Land Went to Gate City People to Con- firm Rumor That Furnaces
 Will Be Built.

Graves & Johnston made sale of about 1000 acres of coal property near Mary Lee Saturday, the purchasers being either the Gate City people, knowa as the John Skelton Williams syndicate, of Baltimore and Richmond. or the Republic Iron and Steel company.
 The persons interested were disposed to be very reticent, but it Is known that the price paid was s35,OOO. The property is on- ly three-quarters of a mile from the Georgia Pacific road and good track runs from the mines to the line named.
 If the Williams syndicate turns out to be the purchasers it will tend to confirm the statements recently published that fur naees will be built and operated at Gate City. Persons who claim to be informed assert that the designs for two or three mammoth stacks for this city are being made Low.
 Expert Went Oyer Land
 When MT. Rutherford. of Baltimore, was here week before last, representing the Williams party, he made thorough study of all the coal and ore properties in the district, and carried away with him much data and complete drawings of all miner lands availble.
 IL is believed tht both the Republic com pany and the Baltimore Richmond syrdl- and large purchases are likely to be an- nounoed within the next few weeks.

TO REACH GOLD FIELDS
New Railroad Will be Built Through
 Georgia

Atlanta, Ga, May 15.-Appication for a charter will be filed in the office of the secretary of state in @ day or two by the parties interested in the contemplated road that is to be built from Gainesville, Ga., via Dahlonega. through the counties of Hall, Lumpkin, White, Uniontown and Rabun to some connecting point with the Southern railway in Tennessee.
 The road is being built for the purpose of reaching the gold fields in the North Georgia and big marble and granite quarries in that section of the state. It has been practically determined that the motive power of the new road is to be electricity, which is to be generated in the northern part of the state by use of water power that runs through the mountains.
 At present there is no railroad line in Union or Towns or Rabun counties.

They were met at the river by number of prominent citizens, but did not leave the boat on account of the hurry to get through to Riverton before night.

sweethearts for Years

Miss Ellis Is one of the prettiest girls of Birmingham. MT. Whitaker was good look ing and model young man. They had been sweethearts for several years. Loves dreams seemed to continue without any serious interruption. He called often and they were happy in each others society. A year or two ago the young man removed to Texas. Correspondence was kept up and he soon returned to resume his position in the bank. The frequent calls were again made by young Whitaker and many com ments were made upon the outward happi- ness of the handsome pair There never appeared to be any trouble, though there might have been some insignificant spat last night. The young lover left early. "I am going to kill myself, Eula," he said and it was not long before two shots startled her and she recalled the full force of the words that were still ringing in her ears. Whitaker might have been in Respondent humor Certain it is that he chose trag- ic way to end his life, firing the shots where his pretty sweetheart could have seen the flash of the revolver had she been looking.

Iiave Up Position Voluntarily

As stated above MT. Whitaker was until recently an employe of the First National bank, having been connected with that in- sttution for about three years. Last Fri day, much to the surprise of the officials, he voluntarily resigned his position, saying that he was not capable of holding it any longer. He has always proven himself a most efficient clerk.
 It is supposed that his mad act last night was caused by an attack of melancholia or some other form of mental disease, which he has felt coming on. Whether he made the young lady on whom he called a pretext for the deed, is not known, as both families were very reticent about talk ing last night.
