IMPORTED GRAPE WIRES.
MR.. r. S. LINDSAY WILL EXPERT.
MENT WITH HUNGARIAN VA
RIETIE,S

Mr.. Barth. S. Lindsay the we'll
known umbrella manufacturer. of this
city, proposes to try an experiment
that will be watched with great inter
est, as. If the results are successful
it Will probably lead to the planting in
this vicinity of n considerable acreage
OF Hungarian vines of the finer sorts.
1t is ell-known that some OF the
choicest grapes in the world are raised
In Hungary, Mr. Lindsays native land
On account of the phyioxera, however
1t has been found advisable TO use ma
tive American stocks Qhe so-callcd
"Kiparia" or Vrginian wild grapc) on
which to graft the Hungarian vines
The America stock is immune from
phyloXera. and has been the salvation
of many valuable European grape
growing and wine producing districts
Mr.. Lindsay is preparing TO import
several varieties of the Hungarian
vines on American roots, selecting such
varieties as are specially adapted for
table grapes. He proposes to plant out
several acres as an experiment to see
If the imported varieties take kindly to
Virginia soil
Although the outcome of his efforts
cannot be predicted. the fact that Viz
g!na is the original home of some of
the most valuable species of grapes
grown would lead one to believe that
the experiment will be n success II
ii is. the proximity of the Norfolk
section to New York, Baltimore. Wash
nSton. Philadelphia. and other desira
ole markets will tend to encourage the
extensive planting here of choice for
eign varieties.

THE FROHIBITIONISTS
A Remarkable Increase in the Ranks of
 That Party

Chicago, June 25.-There will be boiled not fewer than 3O0,O0O votes for the pro- hibition national ticket this fall. The vote four years ago was approximately 130,00O a loss of nearly 150,00O from the vote of 1892 This loss was due to the money is- sued in the last campaign, and will be retained with perhaps an increase this year.
 With the National Prohibition Conven- tion one day distant. Chairman Oliver w. Stewart of the national executive com mittee of the Prohibition party made the foregoing statement tonight. According to the same authority the Prohibitionlsts in convention this year will leave the solving of economic problems, except those which in their opinion can be solved by the aboli- tion of the liquor traffic to the other po- litical parties.
 From the reports from the thirty-five States that have held conventions, the fol- lowing digest of the platform was an- nounced today:
 An unequivocal demand for the legal abo- liton of the liquor traffic in the United States
 A demand for the suppression of the army canteen; plank dealing with the eXpan- sion policy of the administration solely in respect to the extension of the liquor traf- fic to the colonial possessions; a tariff plank declaring that it is more important that the American workingman should be pro- tected from the evils of the saloon than from the competition of foreign labor and goods; declaration to the effect that the trusts could not exist without the saloon. through which they are able to corrupt the vote of the people.
 Referring the question of woman suffrage back to the various States on the ground that the question is one for determination by States Individuality

SANFORD SPEAKS
 AT CALERA FRIDAY
Great Barbecue and Rally of
 the Voters.
THE CONTEST OF SHELBY
And All the Doubtful Counties Be- gins With the Hope to Garry Them All for
 Sanford

Colonel William J. Sanford, Democratic nominee for Governor of Alabama, will open the State campaign at Calera next Friday, June 29.
 There will be a great barbecue dinner, and a general rally of the Democrats of Shelby and adjoining counties. Although arrangements for the meeting seem to have been rather hastily made, and the event has not therefore been thoroughly adver- tised, there is said to be every promise of extraordinary gathering of the people. Shelby County went out of the Democratic column several years ago, and is now one of the doubtful counties; but the personal presence of the party leader is expected to make a decided change in favor of the Democrats
 State Chairman John V. Smith received information of the meeting rather late but he hopes to be able today to announce reduced roundtrip rate on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Southern Railway, thereby inducing large number of voters to attend who would otherwise be reluctant to pay full fare by rail. Chair man Smith is of opinion and it will be very generally shared, that there are large
  ton, Montgomery and Selma. and at inter- mediate towns, who would take advantage of low rail rates to hear the peerless speech of Sanford.
 It is not now known whether Colonel Sanford will be in position to deliver campaign speech in Birmingham: it is the general purpose of Chairman Smith and the Campaign Committee to make as many appointments possible for the leader to fill in the doubtful counties of the State. There is reasonable hope entertained of carrying every one of the sixty-siX corln- ties for Sanford. Jefferson being in no sense doubtful politically, it may be that day will not be found for Colonel Sanford in this county.
 It has been arranged that at Calera Colonel Sanford win be introduced to his audience by Dr. C. c. Oliver, who was a class-mate of the present Gubernatorial nominee at Auburn, the home of the Sam lords, more than thirty years ago.

MINERS WORKING
 ON WAGE SCALE Will be Ready for the Confer
 ence Today. MINIMUM PRICE 55 CENTS It is Said This Will be One of the De- mands- Will Also Ask a Uni
 form Price for All
 Day Labor
MINIMUM PRICE 55 CENTS

The United Mine Workers are still con
 sidering the wage scale and will not have it ready for a conference with the opera | tors before late this afternoon The convention resumed it's sittings yes- terday morning after a recess from noon Saturday. The scale committee submit- ted further report, which was taken un- der consideration.
 The chair appointed a legislative commit- tee consisting of the following members: George Barbour of Pratt City. William Bynum of Pratt City.
 s. l.. Brooks, colored, of Pratt City, l.. B. Evans of West Pratt.
 c. M. Coker. colored, of Belle Sumter. The miners are not yet ready to give out anything pertaining to the new wage scale to be presented to the operators when the joint meeting is held. It is talked on the street, however. that the miners will de-
 mand uniform price for all day labor. It is also stated that they will demand that the minimum price for mining be 55 cents. based on No. foundry iron at $S or less. with an increase of 21s cents for each ad-
 vance of 50 cents in the price of iron The operators, it is understood, will not grant the demand for an advance in wages nor the two weeks pay day. This hri;,zs up the question of a strike, and there are a great many persons who believe that one is bound to occur immediately after the expiration of the present contract between the operators and the miners. This view is not shared by the miners, however or at least a portion of them. President Young of the Alabama District of the United Mine Workers stated last week that he would advise against strike, be- lieying that the men could accomplish --,s-s by continuing at work. Other prominent members of the organization made similar statements, and there are reasons to be- lieve their advice will be accepted and the
 miners will not enter upon strike on
 July 1. ka
 The first joint meeting of the operators
 and operatives will take place probably this afternoon, and then it is likely the de-
 mands of the miners with regard to the
 wage scale will be made public. It is not
 known yet whether the conference between the operators and miners will be public,
 although the miners have said they had no
 objection to the presence of outsiders at
 that time.

FLORENCE HOTEL
 IS SOLD IN PART At One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars. GREAT REAL ESTATE SALES Promise of Unusual Activity in Trans fers-Building Going on and
 Building in Pros-
 pect
GREAT REAL ESTATE SALES

A fourth interest in the Florence Hotel property at Nineteenth street and Second avenue was sold yesterday for $3O,0OO there by making the market value of that prop erty $12O,00O.
 This notable transaction in real estate was brought about by the sale on the part of Samuel D. Weakley, executor and ad- ministrator of the estate of Joseph P. Mudd, and guardian of William S. and J. P. Mudd, minors, to Florence E. Jordan, Virginia T. Walker and Susie E. Clark, all the J. P. Mudd estate interest in the Flor enee property.
 Another important transaction yesterday was the sale for $25 900 by Virginia T. Walker and husband. William A. Walker Susie E. Clark and husband, Pete B. Clark, and Florence D. Jordan, widow, to T. H. Motion of three-fourths interest in lot 1, in block 99 This lot Is 4Ox100 feet, and is the northwest corner of Twentieth street and First alley, which is covered by an old two-story brick building.
 Yet another good real estate sale yester- day was made by M. P. Messer and Com pany, who sold for 5000 to A. " Abbott lots 10, Il and F, block 1T, corner Eighth avenue and Seventeenth street, north, three two-story brick houses.
 These transactions, together with the re- cent sale for S50,000 of the church lot' corner of Nineteenth street and Fourth av- to the Hotel HiIlman Company, and the sale of a lot adjoining thereto in Fourth avenue to l.. A. Stubblefield and Thomas G. Hewlett, show a gratifying beginning of activity in real estate transfers.
 The cause of so comparatively few real estate transfers in the business districts of the city is the inability of owners and would-be buyers to "come together" as the phrase runs. Owners of "business' prop erty are in sense anxious to sell, and good prices are steadily maintained The advancing real estate market of Birming- ham was never before so secure as it is at the present time.
 The amount of building and repairing in progress is very great, and before the sum mer is done it will be stilhgfeater. Work on the $300,000 Hotel Hillman is already ar ranged for, and Stubblefield and Hewlett will expend about $50 900 on their building in Fourth avenue. Note is taken of the proposed $500 000 Hotel Cynthia at Twen- tieth street and Second avenue, arrange ments for the building of which are said to be not yet fully perfected and of nu- merous other proposed costly structures.
 Whether the Florence Hotel transaction means any structural change in the prop erty is not publicly known. The hotel lease now held by Major Michael Clifford will expire within the next few months, and it may may not be renewed.
 There is talk of structural improvements in the Morris and that the owners of the property, F. M. Billing and B. J. Baldwin of Montgomery, will conduct the hotel after c. H. Nabb relinquishes it next October; but that seems to be merely gossip of the town.

ILLINOIS CONVENTI( N
Democrats Will Meet in Springfield
 Today

Springfield, H., June 25.-The Democratic Convention for the nomination of a State ticket and the selection of of delegates to the Kansas City Convention will be called to order at noon tomorrow in the State Capitol.
 There are three active candidates for the nomination of Governor-Samuel Alschuer of Aurora, Alfred Orendorff of Springfield and Adam Ortseifen of Chicago Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chicago has abso- lutely refused the nomination, but will doubtless receive some votes. It seems to be generally conceded that Ortseifen will get no support outside of Cook County and that his nomination is out of the question. Since noon today the tide has set in strongly for Alchuler. Orendorff has great strength in the central and southern parts of the State. There is considerable talk of a stampede to Mayor Harrison. Ex-Gov- ernor Altgeld said tonight:
 q wish to deny emphatically the state- ment that I am seeking to be a delegate at-large to the National Convention"
