tions of Skbo Castle.

London, September 6.-King Ed
ward visited Mr.. Carnegie and Mrs.

The King rode in a motor car to
Dornock, Sutherlandshire, Scotland,
accompanied by the Duke of Suther-
land, the Marquis of Several, the Por-
tuguese minister to Great Britain and
Austin Chamberlain, the postmaster
general. His majesty proceeded from
Golspie by way of SlSibo Castle, where
he visited the Carnegies, and thence
rode to Dornock station. The King
looked particularly well.
Yesterday the Carnegie house party
was invited to tea at Dunrobin castle
to meet King Edward and Queen Alex
andra. The party consisted of United
States Ambassador Choate and Mrs.
Choate, Mr.. and Mrs. James Brioe, Sir
Walter and Lady Foster and Mr.. and

At today's visit to Skibo Castle King

and the pipers repeated 1t as his NAL

CANADIANS AFTER
THE SLOSS STOCK
Toronto Capitalists Have Been
Buying Common Stock
HAVE NOT GAINED CONTROL
Estimated That They Now Own Be-
tween $1,000 and 10000 Shares.
Total Stock Is 5000
Shares.

The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron COM
pany's No. , furnace at North Birming-
ham. which has been undergoing repairs
for some time. was lighted last night.
an6 will be running iron by Monday. All
Of the seven furnaces of this company are
now In operation, and their combined
output this month will be over 10000 tons.
The Sloss-Sheffield common opened yes
terday at 50 and closed at sUsz. the OPEN
ing figure being the highest Of the day.
On Friday the stock sold at SO.
After great deal Of guessing in New
York and In Birmingham as to the cause
OF the rapid advance In the Sioss stock, IL
is known now that the big buyers have
not been the steel trust people, but a syn
dictate of Toronto bankers and capitalists.
While trading in Sloss has been heavy on
the New York stock exchange during the
past two or three weeks, 1t is stated by
a high authority that the Canadians have
not acquired anything like a majority of
the stock, and that a large part Of their
holdings were bought in blocks privately
The Toronto syndicate bought 5000
shares for investment some time ago,
and recently it has thought well enough
of the Sloss-Sheffield company to largely
increase its holdings. 1t now owns prob
ably between $1,000 and 10000 shares As
there are 5000 shares of common, $1,000
shares would be necessary to give con-
troll.
It is likely that the Canadians will be
represented on the board of directors,
hut no change in the general organization
is believed to be contemplated.
The board of directors will hold its
quarterly meeting in New York next
Tuesday. A dividend will then be de-
c1ared on the preferred stock, as usual,
but there will be no dividend on the
common. 1t is said, however, by those
on the inside that dividend will be de-
clared on the common at the quarterly
meeting in March.

rollton during the next week, and hoped
to be laying track by the 18th instant.
Mr.. Cochrane's new line will open up a
finely-timbered section and give an out
let to some of the richest agricultural
lands in the valley of the Tombigbee
river. The territory to be reached by this
extension has heretofore been entirely
dependent on the river for transportation
of its products.
This, of course, has retarded it's pro-
gress, but this proposed extension of
the Carrollton road Will put this section
in direct communication with all the
markets, and it Is predicted that Bridge
vile will be the largest and most inn
portant town of the county. The build
ing of this road will mean a great deal
for Pickens county, and even for West
Green. In fact the Carrollton Short Line
from Reform to Carrollton is an enter
prise already much appreciated by Pick
ems county people, and Mr.. Cochrane's
road is looked upon as home enterprise
and he has the substantial backing of all
the best citizens of the county, as his
road has done more and will do more to
develop the material resources of the
county and build up its citizenship than
any other one enterprise in the county
and the thinking people appreciate his
efforts in this regard. Mr.. Cochrane is
the son of Mayor Cochrane. was reared
in Tuscaloosa and his host of friends here
are glad to know of his success.
The Hopkins Place Saving bank of Bal
timore, Md, has purchased from the city
the entire issue of bonds at par, with
interest at per cent. Under the terms
of the sale $4,000 of bonds will be issued
to replace the present bonds. Twenty
four hundred dollars of the present issue
viii be paid and retired. In this deal the
city will save in interest about $500 an
nually

TRADES CARNIVAL TO
HAVE MANY FINE
ATTRACTIONS
THE COMMITTEE HAS OPENED
HEADQUARTERS AND ARE IN
COMMUNICATION WITH NOTED
ATTRACTIONS OF THE COUNTRY

The past week has been a most active
one for the executive committee In
charge of the Trades Carnival which
opens on November 3, and runs for the
week. They have been busy signing the
many different shows which will make
a great aggregation of carnival attrac-
tions, the entire ensemble being the
greatest carnival yet given IN Birming-
ham or the south.
The grand entrance will be at Seventh
street and Second avenue and an illumin-
ated arch with incondescent lights SPELL
ing out 'Birmingham's Fall Enterprise,
Trades Carnival will grace the entrance.
A feature of the carnival will be the
free act of Fitzpatrick, the noted one
legged athlete. and his famous aerial
machine. He will appear afternoon and
evening Of each day of the carnival in
a series of performances of unprecedent-
ed disdain and disregard of safety in
aerial ascensions and descensions up and
down a steep incline of steps at the top
of which Fitzpatrick and his aerial ma
chine look like a babe and two tiny
wheels of silver. The indomitable chat
feur employs the most powerful aerial
machine ever bilt so that In the midst
OF his dizzy descent, when he seems to
be rushing headlong to certain destruc-
ton, he stops suddenly and reversing his
machine remounts the giant incline only
to repeat his jeopardizing journey and
eliminates his performances by a num-
Der of unique. novel, unparalleled and
never-before seen marvellous maneuvers,
displaying to a most extraordinary degree
the phenomenal possibilities of twentieth
century progress.
The committee has opened headquar-
tiers and are in communication with the
noted attractions of the country. A con-
tract has been signed for the appear
ance of the "Trip to the Moon" and
the committee has despatched several
letters of invitation for the first passage
on the trip. Among those invited were
Senator John I. Morgan, Senator q. w.
Pettus, Congressman o. w. Underwood,
Gov. w. d. Jelks, Mayor w. M. Dren-
men, B. M. Allen, S. w. weakley. Capt.
j. N. Falkner and Capt F. S. White
and several other gentlemen who have
before bravely experienced dangerous
trips.
They were asked to bring all the
friends they desired, 40 the first trip
would accommodate all who wished &c
take the hazardous chance.
United States Senator Chauncey Depew
took the trip to the mooa at the Pan
American and when he gcs back to earth
he said: 81 have travelled great DEAL
but of all the wonderful things 1 have
seen and of all the trips 1 have made
that is the most extraordinary Dur
ing the carnival excursions will be run
at special low rates.
