May Be President of the Consolidat-
 Ad Tina

The Savannah News of Sunday says:
 Now that the consolidation of the Louisville and Nashville with the At lantic Coast Line has become an estab- lished fact, rumors are rife as to the changes that will be made in the officers of the two roads. A gentleman interest ed in thevrailroad business and just back from New York states that according to the accepted slate, as reported in New York, some of the changes will be as follows:
 Milton Smith. now President of the Louisville and Nashville, will be Presi- dent of the combined properties: A. c. Kenly, now General Manager of the At lantic Coast Line, will be General Man. ager of the combination; Capt. w. B. Denham, General Superintendent of the second division of the Atlantic Coast Line will be General Superintendent of both first and second divisions, and F. Fl Fechtig will be purchasing agent. R. E Smith, it Is also stated, will be Assistant General Manager.
 From the same source comes the ru- nor that Wilmington will be made head quarters for the entire system. The more credence is given this part of the rumoi from the fact that the Atlantic CoasI Line is at present enlarging its office buildings in Wilmington"

 BROUGHT FROM COLUMBUS.
Judge Thomas c. Jones Before Whom Case Must Be Brought is Absent from the
 City.

 The offence with which Pcrdue Is charg- ed is not criminal. When brought before Marshal Bryan a question arose as to whetiAer, he should be sent to Jail until the arrival of Judge Thomas G. Jones in Montgomery. Judge Jones is absent from the city on his vacation.
 The Marshal held that he could not release Perdue on bond and he saw nc other alternative than to commit Perdut to jail until the arrival of Judge Jones as Judge Jones alone has jurisdiction in the case.
 The attorney for Perdue attempted tc reach Judge Jones by telegraph that the marshal might get instructions as to the disposition of Perdue, Judge Jones could not be located
 Perdue Is charged with contempt of court in the case of Charles M. Perdue bankrupt The nature of the contempt was his failing to comply with an order of the court in that case. Perdue was formerly a travelling salesman and is well known in Montgomery.

 ing for a Convention.

Birmingham, Oct. 6.-(Special. .)-The miners of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company at Johns, the center of the Blue Creek district, by a very close vote today decided to go on a strike. The mass meeting was a very exciting one and sentiment was very equally divided be- tween those who were in favor of strike and those who were against striking but when President Flynn and National Mem- Der of the Executive Board J. Fairley made their speeches quite a change was noted in the sentiment. It is not known what the vote was.
 There were about nine hundred miners in the convention. The meeting lasted all the morning. and some very lively speeches were made. It is stated that the Tennessee Company will try to operate its mines at Johns tomorrow If only three men show up foI work.
 The miners at Blocton are all out too making something like 5000 men now on 6 strike. The strike affects only the Ten nessee Company. however. and the indi- cations are that 1t will not spread to any of the other companies.

NAMES WERE FILED
REPUBLICANS HAVE CAMDI-
 DATES IN ALL DISTRICTS.
Congressional Nominees Get Their Names in Time to Have Them Put on the ofacial
 Ballot.

The names of each of the Republican nominees for Congress in the nine Con- gressional districts of Alabama were filed with the Secretary of State in time to have them upon the official ballot for the November election. The secretaries of the nominating conventions were all slow in sending in the names, but they were all in before the time limit ex- pired.
 The year seems rather prolific in can. didates. The Republicans have a candi- date in every district end in some dis tricts there are two.
 The Socialist party this year also makes its entry into the field of politics. The party at present seems confined to Jef- ferson County as the two nominees of the party whose names are filed in the office of the Secretary of State live in that county.
 The Socialists came forward with Burl Andrews of Jefferson as a candidate for Congress from the Ninth Congressional District and they present the name of culture and Industries.
 At present. the Alabama delegation in Congress is solidly Democratic.
 Congressman G. W. Taylor of Mobile has opposition in two aspirants for his seat. The Republicans in his district have named for Representative in the Tifty-eighth Congress E. H. Hubbard and George H. Watkins. both of Mobile.
 In the Second District Col. A. A. Wiley Is opposed for reelection by Julius Stern felt, at present Assistant United States District Attorney for the Middle Alabama District.
 Tn the Third District. the name of Moses W. Garden has been filed as the Republi- can nominee to oppose Hon. H. D. Clay ten. F. F. Koerber of Henry was said to have been nominated by the Republi. cans and was expected to make the race but his name is not on the official list in the office of the Secretary of State.
 In the Fourth District, Congressman g. J. Bowie is opposed by J. A. Edwards of Talladega.
 R. s. Nolen of Coosa is the Republican opponent of Congressman Charles w. Thompson in the Fifth District.
 Congressman J. H. Bankhead has as his opponent in the Sixth District W. B. Ford of Marion.
 In the Seventh District two candidates are opposing Congressman John L. Bur nett In this district. O. D. Street is put down as the Republican nominee and T. w. L. Cofer of Cullman as the inde- pendent candidate.

SHOP IMPROVEMENTS
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AT THH
 WESTERN.
New Shops are Among Handsomest in the United States-other Railread Items of
 Interest.

While people out in Texas and even in some parts of Alabama have been losing all their beauty sleep in dreams of oil it is water that the people over at the Western shops have been doing night mare stunts for.
 Yesterday they struck water and Mas ter Mechanic Walsh was as happy as a boy with his first pair of red-topped boots. The water Is from the new well that is being sunk and will supply the entire shops.
 Last July work on the well was begun and yesterday morning at depth of thirty-six feet a vein of water was found. The we'll is twenty feet in diameter and built with a solid brick foundation all round. It is located just to the right of the new round-house and not far from if is the 12o-foot high iron standpipe men, tioned by The Advertiser a few days ago. Over at the old shops of the Wes- tern there was small well, but noth- ling like the one being built now. Since the new shops have been in use the small well has been supplying some of the water but most of it came from the city water works. The new we'll however. will furnish an unlimited supply of wa ter for engine use, washing cars, use in the different buildings. etc. and 1t will be sunk to something like eighty feet. There are very few people In Mont gomery that know what a big thing the shops of the Western really are. Some idea of the magnitude may be gained by the statement that there are nearly 30 men on the pay roll The handsome new shops are among the most modern ir the United States but as large as they arc additions are constantly being made A new blaming mill is being built; it is to be 100 by 175 feet of brick with a slate roof: a new blacksmith shop is also being built. In the different shops near ly everything about a car except the wheels Is made. Twenty-Five coal cars oi 0.000 pounds capacity each are being built now. The wheels of these cars. of course, are being made at the Louisville and Nashville shops in Decatur and some of the castings, etc, are made in Penn sylvania, but beyond the wheels and part of the trucks everything else about the cars are being made right in the shops. In the paint shop dining car No. 400 is being repainted and equipped with elec- tricity. Pintsh gas was formerly used hut the interior will be fitted with incan- descent lights, the power being gener- ated from the axles of the car as is the case with the Louisville and Nashville diners. Postal car No. 90 is also being thoroughly overhauled in this shop and will be put on the New York and New Orleans limited. the fast mah train that goes on next month.

The New System.

The absorption of the Louisville and Nashville by the Atlantic Coast Line CT eatcs a rev railroad system, which ir n ileage. earnings and situation, will be one of the most powerful and extensive in the entire country.
 The total mileage of the new system will be fin excess of 10000 miles, extending flom Chicago and Washington on the noI tn to New Orleans and Florida on the south. and from the Mississippi River on the west to the Atlantic coast on the east.
 Some idea of the extent to which the in- tervening territory Is covered may be gained from a statement of few of the cities into which the new system will possess entrances Among the more prom iLtnt are the following; Chicago, St Louis, Cincinnati. Memphis. Nashville New Orleans, Birmingham, Montgomery Pensacola, Atlanta, Charleston, Jackson vile, Tampa, Savannah, Augusta, Will inngton. Norfolk, Richmond and Wash ington.
 The creation of this system has been al a surprisingly rapid rate. A year ago the Atlantic Coast Line was operating only about 1900 miles of road. Within year 1t has grown into one of the most exten- sive railroad systems In the country. Last July the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway. Che old Plant Sys- temp, which owned and controlled 22SA miles of road. was absorbed.
 This brought the mileage of the Allan tic Coast Line to about 1000 miles. In addition the Atlantic Coast Line has a half interest in the lease of the Georgia Railroad (615 miles) acquired in 1899 from the Louisville and Nashville. and sixth interest in the Richmond Washington, dl5 miles), purchased in September, 1901.
 The Louisville and Nashville and its affiliated roads have around 54OO miles or road. In addition, the road owns hail interest in the Chicago Indianapolis and Louisville, through which 1t possesses direct entrance into Chicago The new system will, therefore, either own or con- trol more than 10000 miles of road. com pletely ramifying the entire territory lying between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean.
 The annual gross earnings of the differ ent roads included in the new system are nearly as large as those of the New York Central. There have been few parallels in the history of the railroads of this country of such rapid growth in mile- age as that of the Atlantic Coast Line during the last twelve months.
 Union Ticket Agent Surratt has com pleted his report of ticket sales for the month of September and the figures are Sr0, 56O 92, a slight increase over the same mcnth last year.

Oil in the Canitol.

That crude fuel oil bids fair to sup plant anthracite coal even at points as far distant from the oil wells as in Wash ington. is proved by the fact that ex- periments will be commenced in the near future looking to the use of oil in the Capitol building,
 A set of burners have been furnished by Texas concern and have been placed under the boilers of the big building. Five thousand barrels of oil, furnished by the same concern, are on hand and as soon as the engineers have familiar ized themselves, to some extent, with the new fuel the experiments will be be- gun.
 In the light of past events there is ev- cry reason to believe that the tests will be successful and that during the com ing winter the Capitol will have plenty of fuel, no matter how scarce coal may be-
