At the lyceum

The Brehany Ballad and Opera Concert, one of the most del ghtful musical treats of this season. is on the programme for next week, January 26
 The organization is one formed very re- gently in Chicago, known as the Louise Brehany Concert company. Its personnel is: Louise Brehany, soprano; Jessie Wa ters, mezzo Lester Bartlett Jones, tenor; George Dethlefs baritone; Agnes Pringle, violinst and ". Guillaume Sauvlet pianist Miss Brehany and MT. Sauvlet were with Remenyi some time before the latter's death.
 Miss Brehany has a beautiful voice of wide range and great sympathy and ex- presSion. She is a beautiful woman also and her singing of ballads and the old songs of the heart and home never fails to cap. tivate her audience.
 The second half of the concert is the sec- ond act from Flotow's grand opera, Mar tha," in which Miss Brehany takes the part of Martha and sings that exquisite melody, "The Last Rose of Summer" in Il way which was never excellcd by E.am1 Abbott in this, her favorite, opera. Miss Waters sings the part of Nancy, MT. Jones. Lionel, and MT. Dethlefs. Plunkett.
 This entertainment will not be strictly in the Lysceum course, but special prices will be made to Lyceum members. The seats will be reserved and will be on sale at Seals store for the two days preceding Wednesday and Thursday.

E. B. Nichols, One of Shareholders,
 Receives Offer for Stock.
RUAORED HARRISON IS OUT
Reported That General Thomas is at the Head of This Deal, Which He Has Been Tryingto Consum-
 mate Several Years.

The first real trust to get into the Br- mingham fled is said to have entered dur ng the present week.
 An iron pipe trust has been organized and has scooped up the pipe works of this dis trict At least, this was the current rumor yesterday, and it seems to be based on facts Whether the deal has been abso- lutely consummated, depends upon the transfer of certain stocks.
 For several years past, General Samuel Thomas has been endeavoring to conso,i- date the various pipe concerns of the south and middle states into one one gigantic concern. His first efforts were thwarted by the panic of 1893. It seems, however, that his recent efforts have been successful, and there is good reason to believe that the new concern, with General Thomas at its head, has bought up the controlling interest in the American Pipe and Foundry company, as well as the entire pipe manufactures of this and other sections.
 Harrison Sells Out
 The story as telegraphed from St. Louis to The Age-Herald yesterday was that the new concern had bought the controlling in- terest in the American Pipe and Foundry company, paying for the stock the sum of $65 a share. It was said that MT. Harrison the former president of the Howard -Harri- son company, and who was one of the chief organizers of the American Pipe and Foundry company, which comprises the plants here, in Chattanooga, in Anniston and in South Pittsburg, has sold his entire interest to the new concern. MT. Harrison was not in the city yesterday, but is said to have been in New York, where a deal was probably consummated during the past week.
 It is known that F. B. Nichols, who owns several hundred shares of stock in the American Pipe and Foundry company, has received a telegram offering him $65 share for his entire holdings. When seen by an Age-Herald reporter yesterday, MT. Nichols said yesterday that it was true that he had received this offer, and he had heard that majority of the stock had been sold to an outside concern. He however, refused the offer for his stock, stating, My stock is worth just as much to me as it is to anybody else"
 .'When asked about the truth of the story that the whole concern had been bought out by company with General Thomas at its head, MT. Nichols said that he had no definite information, but that it was un- doubtedly true that negotiations of some kind have been going on for some weeks, and there was probably good reason to be- lieve that the various pipe plants composing the American Pipe and Foundry company would be scooped up by new and much larger organization.
 Another member connected with the plant at Bessemer. commonly known as the How ard-Harrison plant said he had no definite information, but expressed the opinion that if the current story was not true at present, it soon would be.
 It is a well known fact that every pipe plant in the south which has been well man. aged has proven an exceedingly profitable investment. notwithstanding the low prices

The Sloss Iron and Steel company has appointed manager of their furnaces, the appointee being Kenneth Robinson, of West Superior Wis. MT. Robinson will take charge of this new office February l, and will have control of all the furnaces now operated by the company. This is practically new position, which has just been created.
 Mr. Robinson was formerly with the old Sloss company in the years 1888 and 1882, and since that time has been actively en- gagged in furnace work. He is an efficient man in every particular and understands his business we'll

~THE PLAY@

The Herrmanns, Adelaide and Leon, will appear at O'Brens opera house Monday matinee and night in their famous enter tainment of magic, music and dances. The present season many new and novel feats of legerdemain have been added to the per- formance. This is in keeping with the en- tertainments which have borne the name of Hermann, which have always proven a novelty, and have not followed the beaten paths for lack of originality and inventive creation. Probably the most interesting of the many new things to be seen will be that of the beautiful Adelaide Hermann performing the feats and miracles of the Orient. She will appear in an act called "A Night in Japan," dressed in magnificent Japanese gown and will present number of new and startling bits of legerdemain, notably, "The Horn of Plenty Feathers Without Birds" 'The Original Hindoo Flower Trick" "The Enchanted Rose Bushes," roses materialized from thin air, which are given as souvenirs to the audi ence), and many others.
 Madame Hermann will also appear in a number of new and striking dances
 The principal theatrical attraction next week will be John Philip Sousa's new opera, ''The Bride Elect" which will be presented at OBriens opera house, Jan uary 24, a scale unparalleled magnifi- cence. MT. Sousa has written the librette as well as the music of "The Bride Elect" a fact which adds more interest to the pro- duction, for most comic opera writers find it grave undertaking to work in one of these capacities, and the successful combin- ation of author and composer in one and the same individual will mark an epoch in stage history.
 Of course there is a Sousa march in "The Bride Elect" and one which everybody who has heard it says will sweep the coun- try like a melodic whirlwind. This march Is logically introduced at the conclusion of the second act when the troops of one of these rival monarchs assault ruined castle, the walls of which break away be- heath the vigor of their onslaughts, and the soldiers swarm quickly over the fallen debrs, singing in unison to the stirring strains of their military band.
 This production of 'tThe Bride Elect" is announced to be the most gorgeous thing of it's kind the American stage has wit messed and the fact that the company will comprise nearly one hundred people, and about $40000 have been spent before the curtain rises on the first picture of "The Bride Elect" seem to bear out all the claims of the managers, Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger and B. D. Stevens. In the con pany will be Hilda Clark, well known in this city, who is one of the best singers in light opera at the present time; Albery Hart, the most original and magnetic of the new comedians; Christie Mcdonald, an arch actress and superb singer. as well as many other well known artists. Ben Teal has staged the production.

which have prevailed from competitive bids
The several Plants

which have prevailed from competitive bids on all recent large purchases.
 The Several Plants
 The present American Pipe and Foundry company consists of the plants at Besse- mer Anniston, Chattanooga and South Pittsburg, which concern has $1, 900 worth of bonds and $20o0,00O of stock This con- cern, when organized, was poplarly termed a pipe trust by few people in this section. It was however, not so by any means. There are many other pipe concerns in this country, among them being the Addyston company of Cincinnati, which has recently purchased site for the erection of plant near the Woodward furnaces in this dis trict. This concern, as well as the Dennis Long, and Ohio Pipe company, may or may not be in the new organization. There are other pipe works at Detroit, West Superior, Pueblo, Portland Pittsburg, Buffalo, Utica, Philadelphia, Warren, N. Y., Lychburg, Va, and Radford, Va. Just how many of these will be scooped into the new concern, is not yet known. But Gen. eral Sam Thomas has the reputation of being a man who will scoop in all plants that may prove competitors to the big con- cern.
 It may or may not be adjunct of the newly organized Federal Steel company.
 Since the organization of the American Pipe and Foundry company nearly year ago, no dividends have been declared upon the stock of the concern and it has been current gossip that the large holders have had many disagreements over the manage ment.

PARKER OPENS
 THE CAMPAIGN The First to Announce and First to
 Make Speech. SPOKE TO RAILROAD MEN During Club Meeting Behind Closed
 Doors. NO PLEDGES TO ANY MACHINE Said to Have Declared He Was Not Running at Instance ot Any Clique Railroad Men Have Not
 Endorsed Candidate.

Alderman John L. Parker opened the campaign.
 He was the first to announce himself a candidate.
 He was likewise the first of the trio of mayoralty aspirants to make a speech be- fore an audience.
 TIME-Last night.
 sCENE-In the hall of the Locomotive Engineers in Nineteenth street.
 TIME OF sPEECH-As far as can be as- certained, fifteen minutes.
 AUDITORS-More than one hundred brawny armed railroad men, conductors, engineers, fremen and brakemen.
 Caught in the Act
 Some weeks ago the Railroad Mems Political club was organized. All meetings have been held behind closed doors, but 1t has been intimated that the members in- tended to form league which would make itself felt in the municipal campaign.
 It was known that meeting would be held last night, but no reporter or outsiders would be admitted.
 Last night about 9:30 Alderman Parker was seen in the building where the meeting was in progress. He had but recently had a shave his shoes were neatly polished, his collar and his cuffs bore an extra frill, and his clothing had been treated to an extra brush. He wore every evidence of man who had done himself proud.
 "seems like those fellers are holdin' a meetin'," remarked MT. Parker to re- porter he encountered in the second floor corridor. Without saying auOtueI Wotu ho WdihSA on down the steps and disappeared around the corner If MT. Parker was not whistling, 1t was some other pedestrian. For this melody filled the air: Think We'll of All I've Said," "Therell Come Time." etc. Pretty soon member of the club came down the corridor. ..Mr. Parker made good speech, eh?' some one queried. The member evidently had forgotten his coaching. "Rattling good speech. fine speech" said he. "what are they doing in there?"

"Fixing to cut a wide swath, but-wait a minute, I'll go in and see'
 He went in, consulted the leaders and came out.
 'There is nothing to give out at present." was all that the member would say after the consultation
 Alderman Parker reached his First ave nue place of business with his secret safe.
 In a few minutes in comes a friend
 "Let me congratulate you on your ex- cellent speech" said the friend extending his right, good humoredly of course.
 If Mir Parker had suddenly had cold shower bath he could not have been more taken aback.
 He Was Invited
 It was learned later that Alderman Par ker was invited to the meeting of the rail- road men to make a seech
 He. complimented them and told them what a strong hand they could hold in the political game now opening up. He also told them that he had not made any pledges to any clique or political machine It had been said that they were not to be con sidered in the race. If the unemployed classes should all leave the city of Blrming ham it would go on just the same. If they were shipped away work would stop. When MT Parker was asked about the meeting he had nothing to say He was asked if the railroad men would endorse him. He was again silent
 From other sources it was learned that the railroad men had not endorsed anybody so far They may intend to do so later on, but it is said on good authority that no action was taken last night. It was intmated that before a decision was reached all of the candidates would be invited to speak before the body. Tom Pounds an engineer presided over the meeting last night as chairman. The Other Candidates None of the candidates have as yet opened campaign headquarters, but all are making the necessary arrangements and all will probably select locations during the coming week.
 Neither MT. Smith nor MT. Drennen have selected campaign managers or committees. Nathan l.. Miller is being prominently mentioned as Mr. Drennen's probable cam paign manager.
 City Attorney Robt. J. Lowe, Alderman Henry B. Gray and D. K. Campbell are all being talked of in connection with the Smith campaign management
