SOCIETY CIRCUS.
Novel Entertainment Under Auspices
of Athletic Club

'The Southern Club Reception" will be
the subject of one of the most interesting
"cartoons in black and white" which will
be presented in the grand concert" of the
society circus at the auditorium next Tues
day evening. 1t will be function of great
briliancy. The subjects of some of the
other cartoons are, 1.-THE Life and Adven-
lures of Connie AUSTIN" "The Reign of the
Ticket Sellers - "a South Highlands Ro-
NANCE and others.
Another striking feature Of the concert
will be 1.-The Mexican Band" which will be
introduced by WEARY Willie and his COM
panions." Their La Paloma' will be the
rarest musical treat that has been heard in
Birmingham since the state fair. This
troupe also renders several calliope selec-
tions which are most effective, and which
will make one of the hits of the evening.
Ed Warren has an imita ton of jag which
The will introduce in this scene that is strik-
ingly life-like.
The athletic features of the circus, which
of course is the principal part of the enter
tainment, will be the most difficult and
pleasing ever attempted in Birmingham
outside of a regular circus. The Miles bro
theirs will put on their noted tutnbling act,
Prof. Ed Miles coming from Sewanee espe-
~cially to take part. He will also walk the
high wire. Eddie Burger is on the pro-
gramme for his famous Spanish webbing
act, and the inverted hying-jenny."
Fred Underwood and Ed Spencer, who
probably have the best proportoned figures
in Birmingham, will be seen in the noted
Grecian statuary poses The bar and bat
ton board performances will be the most
advanced ever attempted in Birmingham,
outside of professional circles. There will
DE numerous other features.
On the whole the society circus will be.
one of the most novel entertainments that
will be seen in Birmingham this season.

John H. Clabaugh. Frank NJ. Eaton of the

few well chosen remarks, expressing his
appreciation of the esteem of his fellow en-
ployes SO generally expressed on the eve
of his departure from among them.

l. & N. WILL BUILD
NEW BRANCH LINE
Will Tap the Rich Warrior Coal
Fields.
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE
Announcement of Rip Beasley's Resig-
nation Caused Surprise-May be Sue
ceeded by Capt. p Sid Jones, the
Present Land Commissioner

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company will build a new road which will
traverse the Warrior coal field.
The new road will start from Reeds gap,
twenty-three miles north of Birmingham,
on the main line of the Louisville and
Nashville, and run in a westerly or south
westerly direction through the heart of the
Warrior coal region, and may eventually
be extended to the head of navigation on
the Warrior river. The length of the new
road will be something near thirty miles,
and if extended to the Warrior river will be
nearly double that.
The Louisville and Nashville at present
does not touch the Warrior coal field ex-
eept along the eastern edge, at and near
Warrior. 1t Is phe need of a branch to tap
the mines in the northern and western por-
ton off Jefferson county and in Walker
county that impels the Louisville and
Nashville to build the new line. The new
road will give the company access to nearly
every important mine in the Warrior field,
thus giving them chance to handle a
good portion of the immense freight ton
mage originating there.
1t is reliably reported that the contract
for the construction of the new road will
be let within a short time and that work
on the grade will begin at the earliest
practicable moment.
Rip. 8easley's Successor
The announcement in The Age-Hera1d
yesterday that Rip Beasley had rendered
his resignation as travelling passenger agent
of the Louisville and Nashville was a great
surprise to the railroad people in Birmng-
ham. There had been no intimation of any
intended change, and Mr. Beasley had
come to be looked upon as a fixture at the
Louisville and Nashvilles Birmingham Of
flee.
His other business connections, however,
required all of his time and in order to
properly look after them he handed in his
resignation.
1t is not yet known in Birmingham who
will be Mr.. Beasley's successor, but there
has been some talk of probable consolida-
ton of the offices of passenger agent and
land commissioner, with Captain P. Sid
Jones in charge.
Captain Jones was passenger agent of the
Louisville and Nashville here prior to his
appointment land commissioner, and
made a rafting good agent He is one of
the most popular railroad men in Birmng-
ham, and his friends are always glad to
hear good news concerning him. Should
the two offices be consolidated the work of
the agent would be doubled, and there is
no one better fitted to look after it,
The appointment will probably be an
nounced in the next few days.

J. S. B. Thompson, of Atlanta, assistant
general superintendent of the Southern
railway, is in the city.
NJ. H. Smith, president of the Louisville
