 The bride was handsomely gowned in a travelling dress of blue cloth, trimmed with white liberty silk and jabots of lace. She carried a bouquet of white narcissus and maidenhair fern.
 Dainty refreshments were served to about seventy-five guests, relatives and friends of the bridal couple. After the ceremony MT. and Mrs. Ramsey left for Newman, Ga-, where the former is connected with the Western Railroad of Alabama.

OPERATORS AND MINERS.
Joint Meeting Held Yesterday in Ale

Pittsburg, Pa., January 1S.-The joint in- terstate meeting of the coal operators and miners was called to ordert this afternoon in Carnegie hail. Allegheny.
 The greater part of the afternoon was taken up with the report and discussion of the report on credentials.
 The report of the committee showed that POI operators and 3G5 miners from the states os Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania were entitled to representation.
 Outside of these states, the following were represented: Alabama, 20 opera tors and 5 miners; Arkansas, - operators, miners; Kentucky, operators and miners; Indian Territory, 20 operators and 2 miners; Ten nessee, 20 operators and miners; West Vir- ginia, 20 operators and miners.
 w. s. Bogle moved that the representa- tives from the outside states be given voice but no vote in the deliberations of the convention.
 M. D. Ratchford insisted that the miners in the newly organized states should have all the privileges of the convention. A vote on the motion resulted in a te the min CTS voting in the negative. Chairman Demp- ster decided the motion carried.
 The committee on rules and regulations made ca report, which was adopted, though the miners voted against it. The convention then adjourned.

 PROSPECTS FOR
 MANY BUILDINGS A New Office Building and a
 Hotel ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT Being Urged That Some Steps Should be Taken to Have Parties Turn in the Real Value of
 Their Buildings.
ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT

More buildings were erected in Blrming- ham in 1898 than in any other year for ten years past; and the promise for 1899 is most encouraging.
 As is well understood, Birmingham has been suffering from the worldwide depres- sion in trade and industry; but the city began last year to rebound and is now mak- ing for the flood of material prosperity. 1ne Age-Herald has already printed the report of Thad Mullin the chief of the fire department, as to permits granted for new buildings last year. and the unreliability of the figures given, because of the failure of builders to comply with the law.
 Architects are of the opinion that up- wards of sixty dwelling houses, costing from 1000 up, were built during the year. There were very few $l,00O houses; most of them costing upwards of 2,OD) each. Hence this class of houses alone must have cost more than the total building figures of Chief Mullins report-$l50 QUO. This takes no account of business buildings or of houses costing under $l 900. Of this latter class great numbers of dwellings were built dur ing the year; probably more than sufficient to cover the officially reported s150,0j0.
 It is being urged that some steps be taken to compel the builder or owner of every new house to obey the lawNequiring that proper permits be secured from the chief of the fire department.
 At present little is being done in the buld- ing trade. Building is practically at standstill, awaiting the opening of spring. Interior repairs and reconstruction are go- ;o ,nf much in evidence, because of the unseason- able weather.
 Within three weeks the spring building will begin actively, and leading architects are authority for the statement that there will be extraordinary activity. Indeed there are good indications that 1899 will witness the erection of more buildings in Birming- ham than any other year since the height of the famous boom. In this line, a splen- did office building is exceedingly probable; almost certainty, in fact The interior of O Brien's opera house will be remodelled al a probable cost of $25 ,0O0; and magnifi- cent hotel, costing upwards of $SOO,OO0, is not improbable. Eastern capitalists offered months ago to build such hotel if cer- tain man would undertake it's management. The offer was declined; but the hotel is still in prospect. Many improvements in the business district of the city have been determined upon, including a new palace for Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, the big dry goods merchants.
 There is great demand for good dwelling houses, and scores of them will be built. In the city yesterday only three fairly good dwellings could be found for rent, and they were vacant because of accident, or unfore- seen circumstances
 It is safe to say that s1,O00,O0O will be expended on buildings in the city limits dur ing 1899. In the suburbs the expenditure will exceed that figure four five times.

MRS. PEACOCK
Says That MT. Conner Misconstrued
 Things.

Many of the cotton mill operatives do not take kindly to President B. B. Corners card printed in an afternoon paper several days ago. They denounce the portion re- lating to Mrs. Peacock and that lady and her daughter say that the facts mis- construed and placed in a false light.
 Mrs. Peacock and her daughter make the following statement:
 'I hope no one will believe what MT. Conner has written" said the lady, scarcely able to speak. His representations were utterly false as I can prove.'
 At this juncture her daughter produced the bottle which Mrs. Peacock had asked Mir. Conner to have refilled. The bottle was labeled, and the prescription says that the remedy contains 40 per cent. of pure cod liver oil, combined with the nutrients, eggs and brandy.
 You see, MT. Conner simply misrepce- scented things" said Mrs. Peacocks daugh- ter. My mother did not ask him for gin or whisky to drink, but as one of the ln- gradients of the medicine she was taking.
 MT. Conner says my mother is not sick. He evidently does not agree with pr. Caf- fee, of Avondale, who says she is danger ously i'll, her temperature on Monday being 1o4. l am not a physician, but it seems to me that when ones temperature reaches 104 they are usually considered ill., MT. Corners opinion to the contrary notwith- standing. In regard to the grits and chick en that Mr. Conner boasted of sending, I have returned the grits-the chicken 1 shall pay him for.'
 Mrs. Peacock's condition, though slightly improved, is still very bad. She is unable to lie down, but half sits, half reclnes in crouching position
