The Rev. Ether O'Reilly was the cele- brant at the masses at St. Paul's Church yesterday. It being the eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, the gospel was from the seventh chapter of St. Mark, 31st to S7th verses. inclusive. At the last mass Father O'Reily preached short but impressive sermon on the text: "He hath done all things we'll"
 In his announcement for the week the Rev. Father reminds the faithful that next Thursday would be the Feast of the Assumption-a holy day of obligation.
 During the summer months the half past ten services are shortened by the celebrant saying low mass instead of singing high mass, but the regular choir attends and sing the Kyrio and usually two or three other numbers.
 Yesterday the music was especially beautiful. The choir rendered the Kyrie and the Dona Nobis of Farmers mass, Charlie Herbert sang Luigi's Ave Maria, and Oliver Chalifoux played violin solo "a prayer composed by Cousin.

 The question of holding a fair will be decided upon and a new president and general manager elected.

 The company came out very well on the last fair; that Is, all debts were paid, but there was no profit. There are many questions to be considered before another one is undertaken.

DEMAND FOR IRON
 REPORTED GOOD
Prices Firm With the Market Good-One Order for
 Export

There has been an excellent demand for pig iron during the past week with prices very firm Besides good local sales have been recorded Altogether the mar ket is considered very much improved over tho condition which has character ized it for several weeks past.
 Rogers, Brown & Company, in their weekly review from Cincinnati and Bir- mingham have the following:
 Cincinnati.
 Labor difficulties disturb somewhat the general trade, but the business of the past week, especially in foundry irons, re- veals a remarkable indifference to threat ened strikes, or great confidence in the early adjustment of the differences be- tween the employers and employees.
 The orders have aggregated good ton mage. The orders would have been more numerous and the tonnage heavier had there not been apprehensions on the part of some of serious interruptions of busi- ness by positive and widespread labor dissensions The demands during the week have been for all varieties of irons, showing that the various branches of the iron industry are active.
 The general traffic of the country con- tinues as large as ever, and the railway equipment is taxed beyond its capacity to handle the business, interfering at times with prompt shipment of iron and coke. Prices, while a little irregular. are well sustained. The market closes with numerous fresh inquires and the in- dications favor continued activity.
 Birmingham.
 During the past week there has been a stih inquiry for pig iron in both foundry and mill grades, and some business has been booked at prevailing prices. row
 The trade seems to have different ropin- Ions as to what effect the strike twill have on Alabama pig iron. Operators state that they do not anticipate that mills or fur naces in this district will be closed but that organized labor in Alabama will be taxed to It's fullest extent to carry on the big steel strike in the East and West. Some maintain that should a sympathetic strike close furnaces that now furnish the United States Steel Company with pig iron Alabama would come into play. while others contend that should the Eastern furnaces continue as producers while mills of their largest customers remain idle the accumulation would have an unfavorable effect upon the market generally. Operators seem contented to await developments and customers in- clined to recover for their requirements.

Wall of New Vine Street

.FOURCOTTAGES BLOWN DOWN
Lightning Takes a Hand In the Ruin. Steeple of Lutheran Church Hit. Storm Followed by a De-
 Iuoe of Rain.

The wind storm which struck Birmins- ham between three and four o'clock yes terday afternoon, blew down houses, up- rooted trees, disabled the car lines, knocked out telephone service for awhile and ended with a rain that almost equall- ed a deluge. The atmosphere was heavi- ly charged with electricity and the light ming had hand in the ruin.
 A church in the West End under course of construction was badly damaged; four houses being built in North Birmingham were demolished and much damage of a minor character done. No persons have been reported dead or injured so far.
 The biggest part of the damage Is un- doubtedly around new buildings. There are a large number of frame residences going up in the city and the damage will not be discovered until this morning.
 The storm came in two sections About 3.30 o'clock heavy clouds overcast the sky and by o'clock the wind and light ming began. Then came the rain. It seemed that the heavens had opened. The rain stopped about o'clock and be- tween 6 and the other section arrived
 New Church Damaged.
 The Vine Street Presbyterian Church, corner of Vine and Cotton streets. in the West End, suffered from the wind or lightning, 1t is not known which. The church has not been completed. It is a brick structure and the west wall was veneered so that the building could be enlarged at some future date. This wall was entirely demolished.
 Arrangements had been made to dedi- cate the church on next Sunday, but 1t is probable that the ceremonies will have to be postponed. It will be serious blow to the congregation which has been severely taxed financially to erect the structure. Much of the aid for the build ing came from outside congregations IL was impossible to ascertain the exact amount of damage last night
 The steple of the German Lutheran church building being erected at the cor ner of Avenue D and Twenty-f1rst street, south was struck by lightning. A num- Der of shingles were ripped on.
 Four Houses Blown Down.
 Four frame houses were blown to pieces and many fences leveled to the ground in North Birmingham. The houses were cottages being erected for mechanics em- ployed at the furnace ol the oivss-NoA field Iron and Steel Company. They were almost completed. They were the prop erty of the Soss Company.
 A frame structure opposite the cemetery In Elyton was lifted from its foundations and demolished. It was formerly occupied by the Elyton Meat Market and has been vacant for several months.
 Telephones Down.
 rba Southern RelI Tefephone and Tele- graph Company report that the storm blew down all lines south of Birming- ham, together with several lines In the city.
 A car on the East Lake line and one on the Elyton line were disabled by the lightning. The motors were burned out, but the damage Is slight. No trouble was reported from the railroads.
 The awning on the front of the build ing occupied by the Stowers Furniture Company was blown down.

The proceeds go to the general revenue
fund of the state, to be used for public

not yet been set, but it will be some
time this summer. Present leases will

If any tenant desires to leave the i'm
provements on the land he shall notify
the state auditor before June l. 1901,

ing original cost and present value.

ers, who will fix the value of the i'm
provements, and their appraisement
will be binding on the purchaser of
the land.

Lust and LIQUOR.

A dastard1y outrage was committed
by Matthias Mattson, of the town of
Lake Andrew, on the highway leading
towards Burbank last evening, May
lst. Mattson was found guilty of per-
petrating a revolving crime against
the person of Mrs. Peter Ostlund, of
Colfax, this county. He was appre-
hended and placed in the village Jail
during the night and was promptly
forwarded to the county seat to-day
by b. Guldfjeld, our village marshall,
where he will be kept in custody
awaiting the action of the next term
of court. 1t seems that the culprit
was under the influence of liquor and
had managed to get the husband of
the woman so into stupor of intoxi-
cation by filing him with 'maltum"
and stronger drinks, that he might
proceed with his abominable purpose
unmolested. Had poor Mattson not
been partly intoxicated he would
probably never have committed tn e
crime.-New London Times.

creamery yesterday afternoon. The
representation was not large but con-
siderable interest was taken in the
matter. A temporary organization
was effected by choosing Martin o.

matter OF Incorporating is completed.
A committee was appointed consist
ing Of Martin Olson and L. E. Covell
of Atwater, Albert Dahl of Harrison
and A. O. Bakken and F. O. Swan
son of Spicer to make a thorough in
vestig alton as to the matter of con-
nections with other lines, the cost as
nearly as can be estimated, the exact
distance, and other information that
will be necessary before organizing
permanently. AS soon as the COM
mittee is ready to report a meeting
will be held in Atwater and arrange
ments made for completing the organ
ization.-Atwater Republican Press,
