AN INTERESTING
 RAILROAD FIGHT Mobile and Ohio May Get Into
 Birmingham. INDUSTRIAL ClRCLESSTlRRED   Southern and Louisville and Nashville will Fight the Scheme Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
 May Sell Out.
INDUSTRIAL ClRCLESSTlRRED

The following interesting story concern- ing the Birmingham district was printed by the Wall Street Journal last Monday:
 There has been considerable selling of Tennessee Coal and Iron on this rise by people who disbelleve the report that the company has sold it's railroad prop critics. As a result, there is said to be a large short interest in the stock. It turns out that the Mobile and Ohio has recently made a traffic agreement with the Tennessee Coal and Iron by which the T. c. & I. turns over all it's busi- \ ness to the Mobile and Ohio on a con- servative mileage basis, and the Mobile and Ohio in turn gives the Tennessee Coal and Iron it's business This gets the Mobile and Ohio into the Birming- ham district much against the wish, 1t :" is said of the Southern Railway and the Louisville and Nashville. The lat {" ter two roads are anxious, therefore, to overcome the advantages thus se- cured by the Mobile and Ohio, and are said to have secured the cooperation of the new owners of the Tennessee Coal and Iron, who are said to be the Hanover Bank crowd, in selling these railroad properties to the Southern Rall- way and the Louisville and Nashville While the sale is said to have been practically accomplished, still the papers are yet to be signed. In the meantime Mobile and Ohio interests are concerned ! and are said to be taking steps to pro- tect themselves in their agreement. Whatever trade Is made for the sale or the road 1t will it is officially stated, compel the recognition of this agree ment with the Mobile and Ohio. The matter has reached point where it is said that perhaps the control oI > the Mobile and Ohio itself may have to ' ,.* be secured to accomplish the purpose in : the Tennessee Coal and Iron. On this r point, however, the buying of Mobile ;" and Ohio stock can hardly be considered :" : evidence of such a purpose, because the
 control of Mobile and Ohio lies in the bonds and not in the stock, and the bonds have not been active enough to indicate buying for control.
 The above was shown MT. Bowron or the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company yesterday afternoon, but he would give out nothing concerning the reported transac- ton. ''It is a very interesting story said MT. Bowron, "but just now have nothing to say on the subject
 None of the railroad men at this place seemed to be on the inside of the facts re- garding these rumored details, and could consequently give out no information.
 } If these deals are made it will create quite a sensation in Birmingham railroad circles. All who saw the article seemed very much interested Some of them say it would not be surprise if they learned that the statement was authentic, but that no dell nite information had as yet reached them

TENNESSEE COMPANY MAY BE GOBBLED UP Federal Steel Company After
 The Stock. THE BIG DEAL IS GOING ON If Trade is Closed Several Officers Will Lose Their Jobs-Tennesseee
 Stock is Going up-Quoted
 Yesterday at 67.
THE BIG DEAL IS GOING ON

Industrial circles were considerably dis turbed yesterday over the rumor that the Federal Steel company would absorb the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com dickering has been going on for some t!me between these two companies, and sone- thing definite evidently transpired yester- day to cause the various rumors which were being circulated among those inter- ested in such matters.
 A gentleman who is well informed re- garding the steel and iron companies sad last night that several days since the Federal Steel company had offered to ex- change share for share with the Tennes- see people. The Tennessee people took the matter under cons iteration, but were un- decided what to do. At that time the stock of the Tennessee company was quoted at 3S and that of the Federal Steel at B. Yes terday both were quoted at 67. This is con sidered a high figure for the Tennessee stock, and the fact that both are quoted at the same figure evidently means some thing.
 For some reason the Federal Steel com pany is very anxious to get hold of the Tennessee company, and this probably ac- counts for the sudden rise in the stock.
 Will Eventually be Made
 The gentleman referred to- continuing his remarks, said: "I have no doubt that the deal will eventually be made, and the Tennessee company will be absorbed Of course, a great many of the officers are fighting the project, as it means a loss of salary to them, but I do not think they can prevent the inevitable result.
 "The leaders on both sides are daily fig uring on the trade and you need not be surprised any day to learn that the T. c. and I. has been gobbled up by the Fed eral Steel company
 The story that dividend would be de- clared by the Tennessee company was de nied yesterday by those familiar with the business of the company.
 "This cannot be done until s1,4OO0OO has been paid. Notwithstanding the fact thai the earnings of the company were large last year, they were not sufficient te cover the deficit of the two previous years"
 The deal is causing a great deal of talk among the industrial people, and every body is anxious to know how it will ter mnate, but as a capitalist said last night, "they will not have to wait long for some- thing definite will surely come out in the next few days

VIII Probably Restore Wages

It is stated that the Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing company, which owns and operates the Thomas furnaces and coal and ore mines will shortly restore the 10 per cent. cut in wages which was made in 1896. Quite a large number of men will be affected by the increase, as the company is one of the largest in the district.

IN ONE ROuNR

NEW YORK, June 2O.-Peter Maher
the Irish heavyweight pugilist. scored
a quick victory over his fellow country
man, Mike Morrissey, of Tipperary
before the Lenox A. c. tonight. Nor
rissey had been heralded as an iayine-
ible Irish champion. Maher sized his
man up quickly and went for him
straightaway. There was apparently
no fight in the newcomer. A light
punch on the breast and a right cross
to the jaw were the only blows struck
and these were delivered by Maher. The
blow that Maher landed on the Jaw was
insufficient to knock out any man.
Maher weighed 174 pounds and looked
MT and well. Mike Morrissey had a re-
tinue of handlers when he reached the
ringside and said he weighed 1872
pounds The moment that the men
shaped It was clearly evident that Ms.
rissey wac afraid and that Maher had

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, June 20
About one year ago much surprise was
occasioned here by the sudden mar
riage of Miss Ella Heidenricht, eldest
daughter of Hugo Heidenricht, one OF
Parkersburg's oldest residents and a
prominent contractor. The young lady
was receiving the attentions of well
known telegraph operator and was said
to be engaged to marry him. Sudden
ly Carl Hecker, who it was said was
from Indiana, and who represented
himself to be college professor, came
upon the scene, but when he called to
see the young lady the parents sternly
objected, favoring the attentions of the
telegraph operator. She seemed toscare
little for their opposition, and when
the morn of the following day dawned
she prepared to go to market as was
her usual custom, but instead went d.
rect to the Blennerhassett Hotel, where
a minister was in waiting, and the two
were married, completely surprising
every one.
The old folks and the family. after
due consideration, concluded to make
the best of the affair and warmly re-
ceived the two before their departure
to Indiana, where tn young man rep
resented he had a lucrative position.
Instead, however, be located at Zanes-
vile, O., and the following telegram
explains the apparently unhappy re-
suit of their union:
GAINESVILLE, O., June 19-Pro-
! fessor Carl Hecker has closed the Union
! Business College, and left for parts
unknown, while the students, who paid
| in advance, are mourning. Hecker
came here from Parkersburg, w. Va,
| several months age and opened the
| college, receiving considerable encour-
| agement. The relations between him
| self and wife were unpleasant owing
| to jealousy. Mrs. Hecker at last made
| preparations for going to her parents
at Parkersburg. Learning Of this Hec-
ker hurriedly left town. A large
amount Of money is reported to have
been paid him by pupils a few days
before his departure
! Miss Heidenricht was one of Par
kersburg's most highly respected young
ladies and the actions of the two are
not understood here, except that they
! were only of short acquaintance before
their marriage; in fact, having only
met for short time on an excursion
several months before Hecker called to
marry the young lady.

moments and then Maher went right
to his man with light left lead, which
landed lightly on the chest. and sent
his right over to the jaw. Morrissey
fell in neutral corner and lay there
resting his right elbow, while Maher
strutted about the ring until the ref
cree counted on ten seconds. Maher
then walked to his corner and the mas
