 Another line projected by the Birming- ham Railway and Electric Company, but still long way off, is one between Besse- mer and Ensley by way of Vivian. Such line would touch a number of mining towns. and would be a very valuable addi- ton to the companys system.

M. & Q. DEAL IS OFF
 FOR THE PRESENT
President Russell Gives Out an Interview on That Confereece Gossip of
 the Railroads

Last week the Associated Press dis Spencer of the southern; President Smith. of the Louisville and Nashville, and Presi- dent Russell, of the Mobile and Ohio, had held conference in that city in regard to making terms on which the Mobile and Ohio road should use the tracks of the Bir- mingham Southern in order to get into Bir- mngham. This latter road, it must be re- membered, is the joint property of the Southern and the Louisville and Nash vile.
 In regard to this meeting President Rus sell has given out an interview in Mobile in which he admits that a conference was held for the purpose named. but he adds that satisfactory arrangements could not be made, and the deal full through; for the present anyhow.
 The Southern and the Louisville and Nashville have again gone in together for the joint ownership of a short line, known as the hub in the city of Louisville; rather the Louisville and Nashville has for some years owned a large share of the stock, and the remainder has just been pur- chased by the Southern. This line is only a few blocks long, but it is in the heart of the city, and is the most convenient con- meeting line between all of the lines running into Louisville on the north and from the south. A Louisville man named H. A. Dunesme has had a controlling interest in this road since it was built in 1SS6 and he has realized fortune out of it by charging tariff rates for its use by the regular roads.
 The test which was to have been made by the Andy Beard car coupler at the Alabama Great Southern shops yesterday afternoon was postponed until this afternoon at 4:3O o'clock. Quite number of those interested in railroading are expected to be present.

Two SyndiCat0S Are Alter the City
 Lines. WESTERN CONCERN ANGLING Hanover Bank Controls Traction Con-
 pany and Has an Option ON ELECTRIC COMPANY LINES Will Unload for Consideration or Oper- ate Independently Com pany Has in View Extensive
 Improvements in System

The report published in yesterdays Age Herald in regard to the street car situa- tion in Birmingham continued to be the principal subject of talk in commercial cr- cles yesterday. The officers of all the street railroad companies are silent on the sub jeet. From all appearances it will be sev- eral weeks before they will give out any information. It seems to be admitted to all of the outsiders who claim to know anything about the matter that the Han- over National Bank syndicate of New York, as it may be called, is the concern pushing the negotiations. As is well known, they have owned absolutely the Birmingham Traction company ever since it was organized. There also seems to be no doubt but that A. A. Whitaker, who bid in the Highland Avenue and Belt rail- road when it was auctioned off last Mon day did so for this same syndicate.
 Option on the B. K. & F. Co.
 The extremely interesting part of all these street car deals, however, is just what is to become of the Birmingham Rail- way and Electric company. An option probably for ninety days-has been given all of its lines to New York persons, said to be the same Hanover syndicate, in which James T. Woodward is the principal figure. The option is said to have been in effect for several weeks, and that s10,000 was the price paid for it.
 Another interesting feature in this deal, is that western company, which controls the street railway systems in several f the large western and central cities, have had representatives in Birmingham trying to get control of the systems here. They want all or none Gossip says that the Hanover crowd is negotiating with these westerners for the sale of all three sys- tems as they already own the Traction company and the Highland Avenue line and have an option on the Birmingham Railway and Electric company. If a good deal can be made the lines will be sold to the western people. Otherwise the Han over syndicate will put all of the roads ill the hest condition, and then operate the system independently.
 MT. Whitaker Wouldn't Talk
 MT. Whitaker left the city yesterday af- ternoon, returning to New York. Before going he said that it would be a week or two probably before the United States court confirmed the sale of the Highland Avenue and Belt and until that time not a word could be said as to what would be done with 1t.
 You want to know too much' said he when asked concerning the option on the Birmingham Railway and Electric com- pany. "I think the people of Birmingham would appreciate better street car system than they have at present, and I think sometime they may get it." were his part ing words as the train pulled out.
