GOV. JELks ORDERS ELECTION OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL AND THREE MAJORS, MAY 24-MAY REINSTATE HIGDoN.

The settlement of the Third Regiment, Ala sbama National Guard, seems in sight. The Governor last night ordered an election cn May 24 for lieutenant-colonel and three majors. This, it is believed will settle the oig fight. The orders are given in the following special to the Age Herald fl om Montgomery:
 Finally a gleam of light Is bursting through the clouds that have been over hanging the Third Regiment, Alabama National Guard. Today Governor Jelks directed Adjutant- General Brandon to is- sue an order for an election to i'll the vacancies in the regiment caused by the resignations of Lieut.. Col. Csceola Kyle. Maj. T. T. Huey. Maj. w. J. Parkes and Maj. Mcconnell
 The date for this election is May "A. An agreement among a large majority of the line officers of the Regiment on a suitable ticket for field officers Is the direct cause for tho order of election.
 It will be recalled that when the yer dict in the Higdon-Kyle courtmartial was published tho Governor relieved all the field officers in the Third from present duty with the regiment. This was done because of the strife existing among the officers, thero being no apparent chance to harmonize the extremists in the two factions.
 Repeated attempts have been made to have the governor either reinstate Col B. l.. Higdon, who has never resigned since being suspended, and to order an election to fill the vacancies. Governor Jelks has repeatedly stated that he would not order an election until there was some good evidence of harmony ticket for field officers. The first evil dence he has had of this agreement was late last night when Captain Daniel of the Anniston company. Captain Willis of Bessemer, and Captain Burr of Talla- dega, called upon him and told him that the majority had agreed upon a ticket
 The officers to be elected under the agreement are as follows: Lieutenant Colonel E. P. Mcconnell of Talladega, who is now major on Brigadier General Clark's staff; major of the first battalion,

STRUCTURAL IRON
 IN GREAT DEMAND
DELIVERIES ORIGINALLY CON- TRAcTED TO BE MADE THIS YEAR WILL BE CARRIED OVER TO 1sos-5AR TRADE QUIET.

Cleveland, O.. May S.-The Iron Trade Review this week says
 The booking of a large tonnage of structural shapes and plates for delivery next year is the new feature of the iron market in the week. For several months most structural mills have been sold for 1902, and 1t is now evident that deliveries originally contracted to be made this year will be carried over to 1908.
 The business closed by Pittsburg mills the past week for next year Is estimated at 5000 tons Week by week with the eight months of the year ahead, the char acter of the iron trade in 1903 Is being de- termined.
 The situation in plate mills Is not en- tirely clear. From being able two months ago to make fairly prompt deliveries they are now reported in a number of in- stances to be sold up for the year. It would seem that the brunt of the steel shortage is to fall on the plate trade. and that after the large producers have filled their efgag gements In shapes and open hearth bars, they will not have steel sufficient to run their steel mills | full.
 meeting of plate manufacturers will | De n6lO Tn New 1OTh neAl "SCh pNS iS I is believed the $1. 60 basis will be reaffirm- ed in spite of the sales at s2 to a ton higher from Eastern mills. The sales of both shapes and plates for 1903 have been on the basis of present pool prices. Sheets are the one line of finished ma terial in which the mills are not sold for months ahead. In spite of the difficulties of independent sheet mills in getting ma terial, they are by no means nega- l tive factor in the market particularly on galvanized sheets.
 The bar trade is quiet and 1t will prob ably be months before any heavy buying Is done. The differential of $4 ton over stees bars Is calculated to restrict the sale of bar iron and in time to affect the prices in gray forge iron and mill scrap, which are both relatively high The steel scarcity promises to continue for months. Imports while increasing, are l only a small factor and to a considerable extent enter into drawbacks of export material Some sales of German steel are reported in the Chicago district be- low the prevailing Pittsburg basis.

SELMA.
New Court House to Be Built-Deed
 Filed to Railroad.

Selma, May 8.-(SpeciaD-The Court of County Revenues has contracted for the brick building located adjacent to and north of new court house and as soon as the title can be perfected in the courts the purchase money of $S6o0 will be paid and the building torn down. The com missoners desire to take the building away so as to give more light and air to the offices in the new court house, and their action Is very generally commended, There are minor heirs interested in the building, hence the delay in purchasing 1t.
 There was conveyance of more than the ordinary magnitude filed in the Pro- bate Court yesterday afternoon, although the consideration actually paid in hand was only $5.
 The deed conveyed to the Central Trust Com pany of New York, as trustee, the B. S. and N. o. Railway, running from Selma to Myrtlewood, a distance of 6o.3 miles.
 On June 2, 1890. an agreement was en- tered into by the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad with the Central Trust Company for the taking of 900 of bonds. Of this amount $A, A,917. .610 was to be used for retiring outstanding obliga- tions, $5000,000 was to be used for usual corporation purposes and BPS, ,082, $40 for repayment of expenditures actually made on new roads.
 The Louisville and Nashville acquired the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans Railroad by a conveyance dated April 21, recites the paper filed yesterday. and the cost of the 60.3 miles is placed at SS19,- 936.52 which of course the trust company has already paid out and the conyey- ance is simply turning oyer the Bir- mingham, Selma and New Orleans to the trust company as collateral for the bonds issued to cover the amount involved. The amount in hand paid, as stated above, was $5 paid by the trust com pany to the Louisville and Nashville road The paper is signed by M. H. Smith as president and J. H. Ellis as secretary of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company and by George Sherman as vice president and George Bertini as secre- tary of the Central Trust Company of New York. and Is sealed with the seals of both companies and of the notaries public before whom the acknowledg- ments were taken.

OPELIKA.
Central Railroad Does Large Busl.
 ness In Chickens.

Opelika, May 8.-(Special.) )-Few people in the State of Alabama have any idea of the immense traffic in chickens and eggs that Is carried on along the line of the Central of Geor- gia Railway between here and Roan- oke. For years 1t has been immense. Day after day, six days in the week, from 500 to 1000 chickens and about 50 to 300 dozen eggs pass through en route to Columbus or other points, and there seems to be no diminution at any time nor for any cause. The price of chickens is rising on account of the increase in price of all products, and hens are said to be worth 40 cents on the streets of Columbus. For many years in all places except cities the price of a grown hen has been uni. formly fixed at 25 cents, but now they, too, have begun going upwards. The express car on the above road comes in every day loaded and goes back full of empty coops that come right back. There they are raised, and how the supply is kept up year in and year out from territory even that large is a mystery.

SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
 FOR THIRD REGIMENT

J. L. Daniel, now captain of the Annis- ton company; Second Battalion, Robert E. Simpson. now captain of the Flor ence company; Third Battalion, John H. Bankhead, Jr., now captain of the Jas per company. Eight out of the twelve companies agreed on that ticket and pre- scented 1t to the governor as the basis or the settlement.
 Still another company Is known to be in favor of 1t and that brings into the agreement three-fourths of the votes. While the Governor would not make statement today as to whether Colonel Higdon would be reinstated. 1t Is gener- ally believed should the election prove harmonious. it will be followed by an order restoring the commanding officer to his former rank. The following is a full text of the order for election: General Orders No. ?.
 1. An election is hereby ordered in the Third Infantry to be held on Saturday, May 24 1902 to fill the offices of lieuten- ant colonel and three majors.
 2. The several company officers will meet in their respective armories on Saturday, May 24, 1902. to cast their indi- vidual ballots for lieutenant colonel and three majors.
 B. The commanding officer of each com- pany will notify the commissioned of- ficers when to assemble to cast their bal lots. These ballots shall be written, or printed. specifying the different officers to be voted for, and deposited by the of- ficers in the presence of each other in a hat, or other receptacle. When all have ballotes the ballots shall be taken out and counted and the officers balloting shall certify to the adjutant-general the result of such ballot Each officer so vot- ing must sign such certificate.
 4. Any officer unavoidably absent from his home station on date of election shall forward his ballot direct to this office. 8. No votes will be considered that are not in this office on the 18th of May, 1902. By command of the Governor. w. W. BRANDON, Ad1utant General.
 It is generally believed that this order will restore harmony in the regiment. The officers who were suspended are un- stood to favor the move. Major T. T. Huey of Bessemer. who is here tonight attending the League of Municipalities, states that the ticket Is thoroughly satis- factory to himself, and as a result of the agreement he foresaw harmony for the regiment

 Miss Gockel was in fine form and never before was her playing so brilliant or so satisfying. Many good pianists are advertised as virtuosos who are not real ly up to that rank, but this young Birm- ingham woman is easily in the virtuoso class and the music lovers who greeted her had every reason to feel proud of the fact that this city could claim such an artist.
 With the virtuosos technique Miss Gockel combines in rare degree tempera- ment and grace. Her runs and her trills are marked by singular cleverness, but the poetic feeling with which she inter. 1 preted many of the compositions last night recalled certain of the famous artists who have been heard here. l Miss Gockel never forces the piano as too many celebrated rlayers do. Yet she never fails to get full dynamic results l Every key responded musically to her sympathetic touch. Tn soft passages her tones were velvety or liquid, as she chose while in her bravura playing there was | always something of genius.
 Miss Gockel's reading of the Beethoven number was according to the best tradi- tions. She made revelations of the Schumann pieces, and luminous she was in the wild Liszt music. But her greatest triumph perhaps was in the Chopin Fan tasia that and the A minor etude would have won spontaneous applause from dis eliminating audiences in Paris or Berlin
 Miss Gockel was recalled again and again, but she played only one encore piece-Chopin's minute" waltz.
