JEFFERSON VOLUNTEERS
 WITHOUT COMMANDER
Captain Schooler Tenders His Resignation on Account of Business-Cary Thomp-
 son His Probable Successor.

Charles H. Scholar has rendered his res- ignation as captain of company G, the Jeff ferson Volunteers, and the company has accepted the same. His successor will be elected as soon as authority is received from the governor.
 It is understood that First Lieut. J. Ca- rey Thompson will be elected to fill the vacancy without opposition. His election to the captaincy would leave the first lieu tenancy vacant. John Kimball, second lieutenant, and John T. Yeatman, junior second lieutenant, will be candidates for the first lieutenancy and the vacancy cre- ated by the promotion of either, it is stat ed, will be filled by the promotion of First Sergeant Fred w. Bowron.
 Captain Schoolar handed in his resigna- tion few days ago on account of busi- ness. His recent election as auditor of the Sloss-Sheffield company has increased his duties to such an extent that he had no time to give to the Volunteers, and he therefore asked to be relived.

TALK OF EXTENSION OF
 CHATTANOOGA SYSTEM
J. E. Harrison Says the Road Will be Built Into Blrmingham-Other News
 of the Rail.

A rumor is again in circulation to the effect that the Chattanooga Southern Rair- road company contemplate an extension of their line into Birmingham during the pres ent year. J. B. Harrison, of Knoxville, Tenn, who represents number of banking interests in the east, is authority for the latest statement that the road would be extended to this city He says the owners of the Chattanooga Southern are now figur- ing on the new line.
 The Chattanooga Southern runs from Chattanooga, Tenn, to Gadsden, Ala. a distance of 91 miles. If built into Birming- ham this road would open up a new terri tory which is not now traversed by any railroad. It would run through a portion of the Coosa coal fields and make them ac- cessible to the Birmingham furnaces and factories.
 The steamship Nacoochee, of the Ocean Steamship company, Savannah to New York, has been put in commission again af- ter eight or nine months in the docks for repairs
 The Kansas City, Memphis and Birming ham Railroad company is laying new rails on their line between Birmingham and Memphis.

HEAVY DEMAND HAS SOMEWHAT RELAXED Coal Market, However, Shows
 No Sign of Weakness. STEADY AT RULING PRICES Manufacturers and Consumers Stocked Up Before Holidays and Are Buy
 ing Lightly Mines Are Still
 Running on Full Time
STEADY AT RULING PRICES

The heavy demand for coal that existed prior to the holidays and throughout the last quarter of 1899 has dropped off to a great extent, until now the supply about equils the demand.
 All the railroads and manufacturing plants have apparently stocked up and are not in the market for any great amounts at present.
 Speaking of the coal situation yesterday w. D. Leake, general manager of the Vir- gdnia Coal and Coke company, said:
 ''There is no great demand for coal at present and we are able to fill all orders received. The railroads, the manufacturing establishments and even the consumers of domestic coal laid in large stocks of coal just before the beginning of the holidays and now the demand is rather quiet. Our production, however. has not so far ex- ceeded the demand, and we have not ac- cumulated any stock.
 ."The price of coal has not changed with in the past thirty days, and I no req son why there should be any change soon. We sell lump coal at the mine at $2 per ton, just what it has been selling at for the past month or two.'
 Other coal mine operators made similar statements regarding the condition of the coal market.

GUARANTEED FUND
 OF $3,5OO NEEDED Meeting of the May Musical Fes-
 tivaI Association. THE SITUATION DISCUSSED Boston Festival Orchestra Will Proba- ply be Engaged-Active Canvass
 Will be Made at Once
 Some of the Plans
THE SITUATION DISCUSSED

The May Musical Festival association met pursuant to call at the Commercial club yesterday afternoon. President James Bowron occupied the chair and Secretary
 the members present were B. Steiner, Major r. Y. Anderson, Benjamin Guekenberger, Rev. D. P. Fitzsimmons, Sidney M. Ulman, General E. W. Fucker, and Oliver Chali- foux.
 The president stated that the object of the meeting was to consider the matter of raising guarantee fund for the next festi- val. The festival last year was brilliant success in every way, but its cost was only about $2,500. The cost of the festival which is in contemplation for next May will be something Nike thousand dollars more. In other words a guarantee fund of $500 is called for this time. The Boston Festival Orchestra, which majority of the board of directors favor, includes in its proposi- tion a very strong galaxy of vocal soloists more expensive artists, 1t Is supposed than that engaged last year. It is under stood that the Boston management has agreed to substitute Campanari, the great
 baritone for De Pachmann, the famous pianist
 After discussing questions bearing more
 or less directly on the festival enterprise it was agreed that an active canvass for
 the $3,o0O should be undertaken. Dr. Fitz-
 simmons made felicbtous speech in favor of harmonious work. He paid a high trib-
 ute to Mir Guckenberger, the musical d.
 rector of the festival, and vouched for his
 zeal and best efforts, no mater whether the
 Boston musicians or the Cincinnati sym
 phony musicians were engaged. MT. Guck-
 enberger spoke briefly. While he preferred
 the Cincinnati orchestra he assured the
 association that 1t would be all the same
 to him so far as his pant in the enterprise
 was concerned.
 The meeting adjourned until next Satur-
 day afternoon, by which time the guarantee
 must be completed or practically so. Those present yesterday subscribed liberal amounts, several of them doubling their subscription of last year. When the re- quired amount shall have been raised then the board of directors will meet and au- thorize the president to sign a contract for the orchestra and soloists.
 The festival will consist of three concerts two night and one afternoon, but it is in- tended that it will begin on Thursday night instead of Friday night as last year. On account of the stores keeping open on Sat- urday night hundreds of employees who love music were deprived of the last con- cert-vocal and orchestral-which was voted unanimously the finest of the three.

Jeffries-Sharkey Fight

The fact that the management of O'Brien's opera house is making strong feature in all the announcements of the forthcoming exhibition of the Jeffries- Sharkey pictures, which will be shown next Monday and Tuesday for the first time in this city, of the fact that they are the only complete and accurate pictures of the great battle that were taken has attracted con- siderable attention, and needs some expla- nation. That the pictures to be exhibited here are the real ones is beyond dispute and 1t is interesting to know how "repro- ductions" are made. It will be remembered that no pictures of the Jeffries- -F'itzsimmons babtle-when the California boilermaker won the championship-wer made. and it will probably also be recalled that bogus representations of that contest were made The manner in which it is done is this: Some enterprising man will get two fight CTS, propontioned about like the contest ants in big mill, to box the number of rounds the fight lasted, not being careful to make anything like the original, except the finish. The movements of these dummy boxers, made up as the real contestants are photographed, and these are palmed off on the gullible public a reproduction This scheme was fully exposed after the Jeffries- FitzSimmonS contest and then the fakirs became bolder and smuggled pictures Their plans were followed by the willy William A. Brady, who anticipating some such move ment, had the refiectors arranged that a proper light could only be obtained from the position of the cameras of the American Mutoscope company. However, they did get one round and half, and by running this film through the machine repeatedly, got an exhibition which lasts 15 minutes while 1t takes two and oneJhalf hours to show the real pictures.
