WILL SOON BE OPERATED.
Woodstock Furnaces at Anniston tt
 Go Into Blast.

Anniston, May 22.-(Special)-N Is now an assured fact that the two fur naces in Anniston owned by the Wood stock Iron Works. will soon be put in active operation. Mir. J. W. Woolfolk of New York, representing the owners of the big iron making plants. was in the city yesterday and last night gave out the information that on the hrst of July one of the furnaces would be put in blast, and that four months la- ter the other furnace would start up.
 It has been thought here for some time that preparations for starting up the plants were being made, but the officials of the company have repeatedly refused to give out anything. MT. woolfoIk stated last night that final arrangements for starting up the indus tries were completed yesterday.
 The Woodstock people have made large contracts for all material needed to operate the plants. They have also bought a large lot of mules to work at the plants and at the mines. Hereto- fore the company has purchased all of the red ore used, but by recent pur- chases 1t has acquired enormous red iron ore lands near Rock Springs. this State. and at Menlo. Ga. These pur- chases give to the concern an almost inexhaustible supply of red ore, so im- portant in the manufacture of pig iron. The impression has been widespread that the Woodstock people did not own red ore, but as a matter of fact it has enough to supply Alabama for ten years and its own furnaces for fifty years.
 Two new washers will at once be con- structed near the plants here and large amount of brown ore will be miend within the city limits of Annis- ton. The company is entirely free of debt. and now has the largest working capital in it's history. The starting up of the furnaces will result in the inn mediate employment of at least 300 men. Some Of this number will work in the plants and some in the ore beds.
 The plants will be under the manage ment of J. W. Woolfolk. man of wide experience in the iron making busi- ness. He has succeeded in securing from all of the railroads coming into Anniston the same rates that are given to concerns of a similar kind in Bir- mingham and other iron districts. in- cluding 12 1-2 cent rate per ton within a twenty-five mile haul limit. Anniston never before had anything ap- proximating this rate.
 The early operation of the Woodstock furnaces is the greatest move in an in- dustrial way to take place here in years, as the furnaces owned by this company are among the very best In the South.

A HORSE AND WAGON
ofTroy Laundry and Landed In a
Hem

A peculiar accident happened to the
Troy laundry horse and wagon while
standing in front of tn laundry on
North Queen street Monday after
noon. While standing unhitc bed in
trout of the laundry the horse backed
one wheel of the wagon over the en-
bankment at the side of the bridge
over the Tuscarora creek, and in a
few minutes the entire wagon was
dangling over the embanEment.
The horse soon gave away under the
strain of holding the wagon, and
horse, wagon and all pitched over the
bank. The horse and wagon fell in a
heap on the ground about nine feet
below, almost completely demollsh-
ing the wagon, but onlv slightly in
juring the horse.
Fortunat 2ly for the irnnd.y pro-
prieters the wagon was only hired
spring wagon, the res liar laundry
wagon being in for repairs.
A railing was once along this
dangerous place, but at that point it
has rotted away.

BASEBALL TALK.

The Wolf baseball club has disband-
ed and the season IN Chamhersburg
is over. There will be club there
next year and it will be made strong
er than the Wolf team Of this year.
Whether it will be member of what
is hoped to be the 9 V. League Is
not certain at this tine. 1t Is probable
that six-club league will be formed
with Harrisburg, York, Carlisle.
Chambersburg, Waynesboro and
Hagerstown and on paper this APP
pears practicable. The longest jump
would be for the York and Hagers
town clubs. The trips of the other
teams would be comparatively short.
1t is question however. whether
sufficient interest could be worked
up in the towns named, to support
a league Harrisburg and York would,
of course, be the best paying towns,
having the largest populations OF the
six named. Waynesboro has the base
ball fever and could organize strong
team, as could Hagerstown and Oar
llsle. 1t is understood that Hagers-
town will have fine field next year,
negotiations being now underway,
looking to that end.
