HOPKINS RETURNS
 FROM SHEFFIELD
WELL PLEASED WITH WORKING
 OF LoSS-SHEFFIELD PROPER TIES IN THAT SEcTIoN-NoT
 CONSIDERING A STEEL PLANT.

D. O. Hopkins, president of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, has re- turned from Sheffield where he spent the greater part of last week. He was well pleased with the operations of his com pany in the Sheffield section. The two furnaces at Sheffield and the furnace at Florence are working satisfactorily, the three averaging 16O tons apiece daily.
 MT. Hopkins says the work at the brown org mines at Russellville, twenty five miles from the city of Sheffield, Is in excellent shape. The output there Is run ming about 1000 tons per day.
 Vice President Finley of the Southern Railway met Mir. Hopkins at Sheffield and expressed his readiness to do every thing possible in transportation to facfli- Company.
 Concerning pig iron prices MT. Hopkins said the market was in a most flourish ing condition. 1T do not look for any ad- vance this week." he said, but think prices will go up inside of thirty days.
 Asked if his company would build steel mill any time soon MT. Hopkins under consideration.
 'As to putting up a steel plant some day. that is a qiestion," said MT. Hop kins. Some day is too indefinite, too far off. to talk about. All I can say now Is our company has no steel plant scheme under discussion" hit'

MAY IMPEACH
 CORONER PARIS
ACTION ONCE RECOMMENDED BY GRAND JURY - THOUGHT AC- TON WILL BE TAKEN IN VIEW OF LAST ESCAPADE.

At the March term of the Criminal Court the grand jury returned a spe- cial report as to Coroner Paris, rec ommending that proceedings be insti- tuted against him on account of drunk enness uniting him for the exercise of his duties.
 No action was ever taken on this special report of the grand jury, it be- ing understood that the latter was held in abeyance on promise of the coroner to reform, and the willingness of the solicitor to wait and give him this opportunity.
 His recently being found drunk in a negro dive will doubtless cause the solicitor to take immediate action on the finding, ana the coroner may be impeached and removed from office. It is quite generally thought that this will be the case, and already several persons are being mentioned as his successor. Among these are w. M. Burgin, George W. Smith and Porter Lewis

SNdustrlaA Sosslp.
Discusses Steel Plant.

Every business man in Birmingham has something to say about the Republics pur- pose to build steel mill at Thomas. Nine out of every ten men engaged in the iron trade feel absolutely sure that there will be no hitch In the Republic scheme Sev- eral prominent persons had discussed the matter of a steel plant with President Thompson a month or two ago. and all of them inferred from what he said that the enterprise in question was assured beyond a doubt.
 Julian Kennedy, engineer of construc- tion, who is to make the plans and put up the plant, is already at work on his blue prints, and when he submits his re- port to the board of directors of the Re- public Company next month, 1t Is almost certain that he will be ordered to proceed with the work without delay.

Hotel Hillman public inspection day will be notable in the history of Birming- ham.
 The opening of this splendid hostelry yesterday was an event of exceptional in- terest and from 10 o'clock in the morning until 10 at night the people of Birming ham, to the number of thousands, availed themselves of Mir. Nabbs invitation to see 1t in all It's freshness.
 It was a great social function, as the society writers would say. The North Highlands and the South Highlands and the East End and the West End and all the suburbs accepted the bid to the open ing and all of this community's best so- ciety was represented.
 While the formal time for opening was 10 a. m. hundreds of persons arrived be- fore that hour and before noon no less than one thousand people had passed through the lobby.
 Thousands View Building.
 The rush began at D. m., and 1t was
 
 in full flow by 3. By o'clock the great lobby and the stairways and corridors, and all the hooks and corners. were crowded with men and women eager to see this modern hotel.
 From 8 o'clock until 10 the dress suit folks were largely In evidence. Presidents. vice presidents, general managers, treas urers and secretaries of big corporations were there Bankers, railroad officials, professional men of every class and citi- zens of eminent responsibility in general were also on hand. Indeed, all the flower and chivalry of Birmingham society was at the Hillman, and a more brilliant scene is not recalled than that which presented itself in the full blaze of the electric lights last night.
 Referring to electric lights, the Eill- man has its own plant. It furnished all illumination at the opening, and 1t Is a noteworthy fact that of the 32O0 incandes- cents in use, only one f1ickered and went out.
 There were 375 electric lights in the sign on the top of the hotel and none of these failed. This electric equipment at lHe i1iiHldn IS the largest h0tel plant south of Chicago. It Is equal to all the electricity power of Bessemer and Tusca- loosa put together. It is home work, being put up by the United Electric Company of which MT. Stradford is president and manager
 Orchestra at Reception.
 The afternoon and night reception was enlivened by large orchestra conducted by Fred L. Grambs. The musicians were stationed In the upper lobby and the rich notes which came from the strings, reeds and brass were heard in the main parts of the house.
 Persons of taste admired the fresco art of George w. Boulden. The rich terra cotta scheme in the main lobby was re- garded with high approval, but the finest effects were in the cafe on the ground floor with its green color scheme, and the private dining room on the first floor above, with its olive shades. its ceiling of fruits and flowers Other frescos of rare beauty there were, but these greens seemed to apeal most instinctively to the cultured classes
