At the last meeting Of the diocesan
council, a movement was started looking
to the removal of the bishops home to
Birmingham. A committee was appointed
to raise the necessary funds for the pur-
chase or erection of a suitable house
which might be used as the permanent
official residence. At this meeting, not
only was Bishop Bafnwell pleased with
the proposition to make Birmingham the
home of the bishop of Alabama, but al
most every member of the council shar-
ed the same views. This was due to two
facts--Birmingham's salubrtous summer
climate and its central location In rela-
ton to the parshes of the diocese.

VIII Assemble Wednesday a
the Metropolitan
Hotel
WILL ORGANIZE PARTY
FOR THIS YEARS FIGHT
Meeting VIII Have Authority to Name
a Full State Ticket or to Call a
Convention for That
Purpose, s-.-.

The populists of the state of Alabama
will meet in Birmingham at the Metro
politan hotel Wednesday. July 30 at 10
o'clock for the purpose of organizing
their party for this years political fight
The call for this meeting has been issued
by I. II. Vandergrift, general organizer,
who states he acts on authority from
the national executive committee
A copy of this call sent from the office
of John A. Parker of Louisville, KY,
chairman of the national executive COM
mittee, states that the meeting will have
authority to name candidates for state
offices if desired, or to call a later meet
ing for the same purpose. An effort Is
being made to interest organized labor
in the party and a special plea Is made
In the call for the attendance of laboring
men.
In full the call is as follows:
lowing to confusion having arisen in
the ranks of the peoples party in Ala
bama causing the organization of the
party to become disintegrated, 1 am au-
lhorized by John A. Parker chairman of
the national executive committee, to call
a general state conference of all COM
mitteemen, candidates and workers of the
party who can conveniently attend, to
meet at the Metropolitan hotel at Bir-
mingham, Wednesday. July 30, at 10
o'clock a. M, for the purpose of taking
such action as may be considered neces-
sary to place the party once more in eff
fective condition. Since the Louisville
convention the growth of the reform
movement has been very gratifying. Or
ganized labor, tired of the false promises
of the old parties Is allying itself with
the third party; the fusion populists of
the west have discovered how they were
humbugged by the so-called free silver
democracy and are coming back to the
middle of the road, while the ranks of
both old parties are furnishing sincere
men weary of the old party perfidy
Therefore this is a most suspicious time
to reform our lines in Alabama and go
on with the work of reform The quar-
rels between the various factions of either
of the old parties are of very little in
terest to the sincere reformer; we should
make a square, honest fight for our prin-
ciples, let the result be what it may.
Every reform voter who can possibly
do so should attend this conference and
a special invitation is extended members
of organized labor and other reform or
CARNATIONS favorable to our principles
and willing to unite their efforts with
us along the lines in the Louisville plat
form.

to do so, or to call subsequent conven-

w. d. linn of Admission was in Bir-

new hotel in his home city. Mr.. linn Is
one of the most prominent business men
In Admission and has extensive interests
there He formerly lived In Boston. and
has been very successful since coming
south.
81 am going to build new hotel in
Admission because I think it is badly need
ed" he said yesterday. MY plans call for
a building four and five stories in heighth
with front of 100 feet and rear of 100
feet. The hotel will be called THE An
niston,p and will be thoroughly and mod
ernly fitted. Electric fans and telephones
will be placed in every room and other
conveniences provided.
''By the way, the letting of the con-
tract for the erection Of this building has
caused the bringing to mind of a very
curious manner in which contractors bid
on work. When first opened bids I was
rather startled at the prices asked, and
called for more. Since then the price has
been cut exactly so per cent ana the bio
ders are still cutting away at the orig
inal figures. 1t is very strange that they
should want such a profit. l cannot I'M
derstand the matter"

a large audience without regard to the
intense interest which is being taken in

FURNACE IN BLAST.
Sloss-Sheffield Company's No. Is
Running Iron.

City furnace No. 2 of the Sloss-Shef-
field Steel and Iron company has been
put in blast and is now in fine running
order, the output yesterday being over
125 tons. The regular daily output of the
furnace will be 200 TONS and within a
few days this amount will be reached.
That much speculative interest is being
felt in the activity Of the iron market is
evidenced by the fact that price Of stock
of various iron and coal companies of
the district Is being advanced. One of
the advances was in the stock Of the
Bessemer Land and Improvement COM
pany which has gone up from % to 26.
The Alabama Consolidated advanced
from 10 to 10. A number of other stocks
also advanced during the week.

RAILROAD WORLD.

It is true that President Yoalzum has
been very active in the requirement of
such lines and that an integral part of
the policy of the road is concerned In
such extension of the system. The pur-
chase of new lines and the building Of
other new lines will continue. Never
theless, the original property is not to
be allowed to suffer on account of this
policy of expansion.
The following Is an official statement
of the work that is to be begun imme-
diately on the Frisco in the line of i'm
provement-
On the main line of the system between
St Louis and Springfield extensive reduc-
tions In grade will be undertaken. At
present the road climbs the Ozark noun
tains to the crest on a grade of 100 feet
to the mile. After the new work. ar
rangements for which have been made,
the maximum grade on this 240 miles Of
road will be 26 feet to the mile. In some
places new location for the roadbed will
be necessary.
While the work will be very heavy,
and while it will take long time to
complete the improvements the advan-
tages which will necessarily follow will
fully compensate the road for the ex-
penditure, as the operating expenses. as
well as the cost of maintenance will be
greatly reduced. The train load can be
more than doubled under the new con-
ditions. This is one of the most impor-
tant items in the operation of railroads.
and is the. matter that often makes the
difference between profit and loss.
