BUSY DAY
In the Circuit Court Number of Suits
 Filed

? The last suit growing out of the McAdory switch wreck on the Birmingham Mineral railroad were filed in the circuit court yes- terday, 1t being the last day on which these suits could be filed. The wreck oc- cured on August 3, 1898, and under the law action for damages must be brought within twelve months.
 It is understood that several persons who claim to have been hurt in the wreck ef- fected settlements with the company and those who could not filed suit in order that they might not be barred.
 Several oher suits were filed in the same court, and Deputy Clerk Howard was kept busy tine entire afternoon. Among the suits filed were the following:
 Mary N Knox, administratrix of tho estate of William Blackman, deceased, ys. the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway com pany for $25 GOO as damages for the death of Blackman who it is alleged died from fhe effects of injuries received on May Il, 1899, at Mine Mo- f, by being knocked down and run over by a car while in the dis charge of his duty as an employe of the defendant company.
 Hesrry Anderson vs. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, $2000 as dam ages for injuries alleged to have been sus- tained in the MeAdory switch wreck.
 Jane Outrey, pro ami. vs. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, 1000 as damages for injuries alleged to have re- suited from the McAdory switch wreck
 In the same court Emmet O'Neil and Calvin F. Cursor have filed ejectment suits against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company, the Southern Railway con- pany and Jack Thomas and Jack Steven son for the recovery of certain lands in section 4, township r, range 3 west, and for $2l 900 for alleged wrongful and unlaw- full detention thereof.

ONLY A MATTER
 OF FEW MONTHS Until Southern and L. & N. Will Come
 Together. STOCK OF THE LATTER ROAD Which is Owned Abroad Has Been Pur-
 chased by Former.
,TOCK OF THE LATTER ROAD
MEANS MORE THAN TWO-THIRDs
Spencer Will Be President of Consoli- dated Roads and Smith Will Be
 Vice-President in Charge of Active Operations.

The negotiations for the purchase of the Southern railway have assumed practical form, and it is given out from reliable sources that the Southern will be possessed of the Louisville and Nashville system and be practically operating the same within a few months.
 The negotiations for the purchase of 8 majority of the stock of the Louisville and Nashville by the financial owners and con- trolling spirits of the Southern have been going on all summer. As those who keep we'll informed know more than two-thirds of the stock of the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been owned abroad It was held largely in London and Amsterdam. The principal representative of the foreign stockholders in this country has been the firm of August Belmont & Co.,. and it is learned from New York that through nego- tiations of this firm and by special agents sion of the controlling interest of the Louisville and Nashville.
 Spencer Vii, Continue as President
 It is further stated that when the two systems are merged into one, Samuel Spencer, the president of the Southern, will continue as president, with Milton H. Smith as first vice-president in complete control of the practical operations of the system. In fact. in the new system Milton H. Smith will really occupy the same posi- ton, though different in name, to that which he now occupies with the Louisville and Nashville.
 In this connection an intimate friend of MT. Spencer told a good story the other day.
 ''I was talking with MT. Spencer recent ly," said he. ''He spoke of the joint pur- chase on the part of the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company's railroad. He said when he made this purchase he expected a wonderful increase in the business of the Southern from Birmingham, but his ex- pectations had not materialzed. Indeed, he told me that he had found Milton H.. Smith had first lien on practically every ton of freight. in the Birmingham district which his road didn't already control As a consequence. he didn't see anything for the Southern railway to do but to get Mil ton H. Smith, and the only way he knew of cffecting that deal was by buying the Louisville and Nashville railroad"
 It was one of MT. Spencer's little jokes yet it was great compliment to MT Smith, Certain it is that the deal is practically two great systems will be merged into one

INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.
Circular Letter Being Sent to Branches
 in Every City.

The following circular letter is being sem all over the state by President F. c. Shep ard and Secretary L. L. Gilvert, of Mont gomery, the active officers of the Alabama Commercial and Industrial association:
 "The present officers of this associa- ton were elected at the last meeting, in Mobile, to serve one year. They desire to make themselves and the association as well. or real, practical benefit if 1t is possible.
 ''To that end the president and secre- tary wish to say that they are 'an office on wheels and will gladly visit any organization in the state where their presence is desirable, or any city in the state where there is no business organi- zation, but where one should be estab- hshed.
 "A commercial or business organiza- ton Is as necessary to a city today as an electric light or street railway sys- tenn. Every town in Alabama should have one and every member should be an electric dynamo of energy and en- thusiasm in its interest. Don't let the politician be the only live wire in the place.
 .'Give your enthusiastic endorsement to your local organization and your cor dial support to the state association.
 
 by the officers of this association, and will have at all times their prompt and careful consideration"
 The Ala abama Commercial and Industria association is making an industrial cam paign of the state, and hopes to see an increased activity among the old cuts and the prompt organization of new ones over the State
 It is the purpose of the present manage ment to put the association on a more ag- eressive basis than heretofore, if possible A new constitution is being prepared which will broaden the scope of its work strengthen the internal machinery; render more permanent the influence and more practical the results of the work of the state organization. It will probably pro- vide for permanent representative in the membership of the association from every newspaper and railroad in the state. The management desires to take a more active hand in all questions affecting the laws of trade in Alabama; in the develop ment of our internal resources; the pro- lection of established enterprises and the encoura cement of new ones. In this work the active aid and support of the press Is confidently expected, to the end that tht general public may be taught to believe that the leaders in trade revival or bus ness convention merit as much recognition from their fellow-men as those in politi cal convention. .,.s Surely, 1t is argued, the work of improv ing trade conditions; stimulating industria progress; hastening and guarding commer cial prosperity; of making two blades O grass grow where but one grew before. is as important to mankind as the yariou! questions of expediency and policy eomin! up In the political world.

Was Hung Out at East Lake Last
 Night

There was another standing room only" sign out at East Lake last night and with this large audience the Cbapman-W company made another signal hit in the screaming farce comedy My Turn Next" This laughable construction is in two acts and is full of real live timber, which was used to advantage by MT. Chapman and company. The audience laughed good natured roars during the entire presenta- tion.
 Illustrated songs by the Templetons and Miss Hart in new songs made pleasing hits. The Sharkey-McCoy prize fight. a strikingiy realistic reproduction of this worid-famed scientific boxing battle, was feature magnificent and bewiideringly interesting and wonderful enough to close any bill This Is the first presentatl ton of these pictures and they held the audience until the knockout round ended the per- formanee.

MUGGY WEATHER
Did Not Prevent Large Crowd From
 Going to North Birmingham

In spite of the foggy and muggy weather a fair sized crowd went to North Birming- ham last night to hear the operatic concert given for the benefit of the Creche. Miss Norma Schoolar. c. c. Washburn and Jus tin Thatcher were the soloists and were well appiauded, and deservedly so; for not withstanding the damp air in which they were singing and other difficulties, their voices were very pleasing. Miss Scholar sang For All Eternity (MatteD, and as encore Because 1 Love You, Dear. MT. Washburn sang ''Who Shall Be King 9" (Webster). and MT. Thatcher 'grhe Life of a Rover from "The Fencing Master" (De- Koven), and "Ah, So Pure," from Martha (F'lotow).
 The orchestra last night was under the direction of Leon B. Sutto, and the follow ing selection were played:
 Ben Hur' (PauD; Daughter of Love- (BennetD Mother Was Lady (Recker); La Paloma;" "Fanchon" Qseman); Pop ular Peebles" (Boettger); American Vic- tory" Hippe); Pheasant Memories" Got tin).
 Delightful refreshments were served last night by the ladies of the St. Agnes Guild.
 The next concert at North Birmingham will take place next Sunday night, and the admission will be entirely free

THE JEFFERSON THEATER. :"
Foundation Being Built Rapidly-Tap-
 ped a Spring While Blasting

.aThe Jefferson Theater' is the name of Birmingham's new playhouse which the Smith Brothers are erecting in Sec ond avenue, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. It was suggested some time ago that this would be an appropri- ate name for a Birmingham theater, in honor of the great county of which the city is the capital. but this is the first of- ficial announcement
 Work on the Jefferson is progressing as rapidly as possible under the present con- dition of the weather. Deep foundations are always very difficult to lay in Birming- ham on account of the rocky nature of the soil, and this was no exception. The last concrete has been put in, however, and the foundations are being built up very rapidly.
 A big surprise was caused Wednesday after one of the blasts, when from under a rock twenty feet below the surface, there gushed forth a vigorous stream of very cold water, which flowed very rapidly, and began to fill up the excavations. Since that time 1t has been necessary to keep large pump in operation night and day keeping this water from submerging the founda- tions. It is delightful water to drink. and it is being piped up to the surface, from whence 1t will be run into the building and used to supply the theater with drink ing water The contractors were very proud of their spring. even if it does give them a lot of trouble.

PURCHASE PRICE NOT KNOWN
Understood to Be Amount On Which
 Concern Is Earning 8 Per Cent.
WHO ARE THE REAL PURCHASERS
Claimed That Hanover Persons Were Acting as Mediums Through Which All the Lines of Birmingham
 Were Disposed Of

It was given out yesterday afternoon by those in position to know that the sale of the Birmingham Railway and Electric Company to the Traction Company syndi- cate, controlled by those interested in the Hanover National Bank of New York, had been practically closed.
 The purchase price was, however not made public, though it is said to be a sum upon which the Railway and Electric Com pany is now earning nearly per cent in- terest.
 It is possible that the Traction Company syndicate may operate the combined sys- tems for month or two, but the best in- formation is that an entirely new corpora tion, composed of northern and western men who have had much experience in street rairoading, will soon be in practical possession.

The real purchasers, it is said, have had much practical experience in street railroad operation, and it is said that they will equip every one of the street railway lines in Birmingham in the most thorough and practical manner, giving as good a service on every line as is given by any city in the country.

ONLY FOR FIRE BRICK
Was the Advance in Brick Layers Wag-
 es-It Has Been Granted

It seems that the report that the brick layers of Birmingham had demanded an in- crease of five cents an hour in their wages, from 40 to 45 cents, was incorrect, in that it applied to all bricklayers.
 It is said that only the layers of fire brick have demanded the increase. and this has been granted them. Fire brick usually have to be laid in such disagreeable places such as the interior of fiuesand furnaces that it Is thought the men doing this work are entitled to more wages than those doing outside work.
