VIII Build Passenger station

1t was given out yesterday in railroad Cir
cies that the Southern railroad is to build
4 new passenger station on the property
recently purchased from Major w. A.
Handey, in Powell avenue, between Twen-
ty-first and Twenty-second streets. 1t is
said that the plans are being prepared by
the Southern and that the new station viii
be two stories high, with entrances into
the waiting rooms on both the Twenty-frst
and Twenty-second street bridges.
1t is further said that the Southern, Ala
bama Great Southern, the Central Of Geor-
gia, and the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham will use this station; and that
arrangements have been made with the
Mobile and Ohio by which, when that sys-
tenn gets into Birmingham it will use the
same passenger station.
1t is known that at the recent meet
ms between President Spencer of the
Southern and President Smith Of the Louis
vile and Nashville, in Birmingham, TIE
question of a passenger station charges
came up, and at that time it was President
Spencer himself who made the arrange
ments for the purchase OF this property.
He said at that time that it was for a new
passenger station. He had made demands
upon President Smith to reduce what he
termed extortionate terminal cha ges upon
tho Southern and the Alabama Great
Southern. 1t is said that the Louisville and
Nashville charges other roads entering the
station about $500 month. The four roads
are accordingly paying the Louisville and
Nashville about $4,000 q year for entering
-ht If wa Ia limo nv
dent Spencer that this was a heavy inter-
est upon $500 900 and that a new passenger
station could be built for less than that
sum.
Ii is also current gossip that the Louis
vile and Nashville has given the Seaboard
Air Line the privilege of entering the union
depot, when the latter got into Blrming-
ham, and this is why the Southern desires
to build another station. Indeed in the
railroad world there is any amount Of Cos
sip on this subject and 1t seems to be
settled fact that the Southern is to build
It's own station. Nothing being certain UNI
til it is done, 1t is just possible that at the
meeting now in progress in New York be-
tween the officials of the Southern and the
Louisville and Nashville an amicabie adj
justment may be reached. Thus no one
will know definitely that there is to be a
new depot until 1t Is actually built.

The Seabcard Airline is causing much
anxiety and degree of fear in railroad
circles. Since John Shelton Williams and
his syndicate got control of the Scaboard
Airline the Georgia and Alabama and
the Florida Central and Peninsular, they
have been figuring on connecting up these
lines, and forming a tremendous system of
railroads throughout the south, which
would prove a competitor of no mean pro-
portion to the Southern.
The news from Baltimore is that the In
ternational Trust company with a capital
OF sl5OO,OOo, subscribed in cash, was formed
in that city on Wednesday. The object of
the company is to back the deals in south
ern railroad properties which have been
made by the new Seaboard Airline
people.
Identified with the company are such
companies as John Williams & Sons, of
Richmond; Middledorf, Oliver & Co., of
baltimore; b. N. Baker, president of the
Atlantic Transportation company; Summer
field Baldwin, of Baltimore, who is largely
interested in cotton mills throughout the
south; Douglas Gordon owner of the Bal
timore News; Richard II. Edmunds, of the
ManufacturersI~Record; w. A. Hemphill Of
Atlanta; John E. Searles, of the sugar
trust; William c. Lowering, of Boston; C.
Snyder Shepherd, of New York; F. w.
Roebling, of Now Jersey, of the firm of
John A. Roebling 81 Sons, the great iron
and steel firm which constructed the Brook
Ign bridge, and others.
it is said that this international trust
company is organized for the purpose of
financeering John Shelton Williams deals,
now being made largely in the Birmingham
district and throughout the south.
This is the concern that will handle the
Gate City property, recently purchased,
and the Mary Pratt furnace with all of it's
ere, coal and dolomito properties, which
were acquired during the present week by
the Williams party.

While Gov. Lee has been quite mag.
unanimous with the republican maj ,rity
in all their demands upon the state in
the recent legislature, that same ma.
jority were stingy and mean with him to
the last degree. The only appointment
Of the governor confirmed which runs
more than two years was that Of NJ. F..
Greeley, republican. Most of the nom
nations were for terms of elk years, but
in order that the republicans might get
a chance to till the offices over again two
years from this time it they should carry
the state they did not confirm Gov.
Lees appointments. This is small pol
tics that the people will perhaps remem-
Der at the next election. 1t is nearly as
bad as refusing to heed the mandate Of
the people and fulfill their constitutions,
obligations.

1t will take some time yet before ex-
act figures on legislative appropriations
will be known but the figures OF the
republican majority are perhaps the
nearest correct, obtainable at the pres
ent time aud they are as follows: 4
grand total OF sl,~2o1.l25.59. The gross
appropriations, are nearly four hundred
thousand dollars more than those Of the
Legislature of two years ago, but fifty
eight thousand and over of this Is alleg-
ed to have been for deficiencies from the
two years before. But as the legislature
of two years ago had to appropriate for
Deficiencies, too. they ought to be de-
Quoted from the deficiencies of this year
to make a fair comparison. and by doing
SO, the excess of actualnew appropriations
this year over two years ago is 10000.
The appropriations made at the recent
session according to republican figures

"We hold that the British agent in

France from having a coal store at Mus

BENEFIT TO RAILROADS
Freight and Transportation Bureau
 Keeping Rates Straight

The Freight and Transportation Bureau recently established with H. c. Orem as commissioner has already begun to be felt. The bureau is not antagonizing any one, but seeks to be an aid to both merchants and railroads.
 One of the duties of the bureau is to com- pare the tariff rates of the different roads fly several errors were found in the rate of a certain road. A letter was sent to the freight agent setting out the discrepancies. He acknowledged that his tariff was wrong and thanked the bureau for the in- formation.
 A prominent railroad man in speaking of the bureau said yesterday:
 'I have changed my attitude in regard to the Freight and Transportation Bureau. I supposed at first it was going to antago- nize the railroads, but I have received con- elusive proof that it's position will be any, thing but that. Instead of being detri- ment to the railroads it will prove bene- fcal, on account of the commissioners of- flee checking up the rates from junction points to local points within the states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennes- see. 1 was shown letter addressed to the commissioner from a general freight agent of road traversing Alabama in which he acknowledged the discrepancy in rates as stated by the commissioner, and he assured him that he would have supplement- issued correcting his tariff.''

FATHER o'RE1LLY ON VACATION
Left for New York Yesterday on a
 Pleasure Trip

The Rev Patrick A. O'Reily, pastor of St. Paul's Catholic church, left for New York yesterday on a short vacation. This is his first pleasure trip in eleven years. Year in and year out he has toiled for his large congregation, and has playfuly remarked that being with his people was vacation enough for him.
 Father O'Reiily is blessed with robust health and would not have gone on this trip but for the fact that some of his friends took the matter in hand and almost forced him to take rest. About twenty five members of his flock made up hand some purse and when it was presented to the good priest he was visibly affected. He had not suspected that anything of the sort was being done.
 In twenty years Father OReilley has not missed saying mass on Sunday, and in the same space of time he has missed saying mass daily, from sickness or other cause, only seven times. Not many priests have a record equal to this. It goes without saying that all Birmingham will wish Father O'Reilly a pleasant vacation and a safe return.
 During Father o'Reilly's absence St. Paul's parish will be in charge of his faith full assistant, Father Kennedy.
