Is now on the ground. The company also has a second contract to continue boring after the 1, ,000-foot mark is arrived at The drilling machinery of Andrews Brothers Is complete in every particular and good headway is. being made. The company has drilled two days and have already reached a depth of 10 feet. It Is thought by geologists that a gusher will be struck within 1,500 feet of the surface. There are a great many prospectors on the ground now, and it is estimated that 300 persons have visited the spot since the drilling began.
 About 10 o'clock this morning Judge Thomas W. Coleman rendered a decision in the habeas corpus. proceedings where by rMs Lillie Bedford sought to gain possession of her baby which was Tn charge of her husband. Thomas Bedford. giving her the custody of the child.
 The facts relative to the affair so Tar as could be ascertained areas follows:
 Something like two years ago they were married and their union proved very unsatisfactory one. About eleven months ago a baby came to bless their home, and it was thought that that would serve to make them more congenial. The oil thrown upon the troubled waters oio not have a very salutary effect.
 Matters grew worse and last Saturday morning the husband informed the wire that their dream of love was over, ana. taking the baby, repaired to the hoine ot his mother in West Corning. Mrs. Bed- ford at once instituted habeas corpus proceedings with the above result.
 They live on West Eleventh Street and the affair has created no little excitement among the citizens of that section Of the city.

MT. Waller Talks.

Hon. Charles E. Waller of Greensboro, who was candidate for the Lieutenant Gevernorship nomination in the primaries Monday on the Johnston ticket, was in Birmingham today en route to Mountain Creek, where he attended a .Tneeting of the Board of Trustees of the Letitia Moore Memorial Fund, which will be used in the erection of a Confederate home.
 He said in reference to the result of the primaries: "I am in fine spirits and have no complaint to- make against any one. The result is just as I expected 1t from the start. went into the campaign having been an original suffrage reform advocate and having supported the Con- stitution for the purpose of aiding in the permanent settlement of the great negro problem confronting this State. I hope the matter has now been definitely set tied and I am willing to canvass the State and will do all I can for the sue cess of the. nominees of the primaries. will loyalty support the administration of Governor w D. Jelks and Dr. R. M. Cunningham. I am not disappointed nor chagrined.'
 He admits that he was defeated fairly. He hopes and believes that the perma- nent plan of suffrage will be carried out in the same spirit as was the temporary plan, and that very few negroes will be registered under 1t.

 Mr. Guthrie called Parker c. Chanler. a Boston attorney who Lamb said was one of those desirous of getting Power out of the country. Mir chanler testi- fled that he had been retained by MT. Weidenfeld about July 26 as associate counsel with w. Bourke Cochran ana Mir Cleveland. He saw Power in Lambs office but ne did not know that Power had been subponaed He gave Lamb s750 on or about July 2s for Weidenfeid.

Advance in Freight Rates.

The advance in pig iron and cast iron pipe rates to Ohio and Mississippi River crossings proper and beyond made by the Southern Iron Committee. at its meet ing held this week in Chattanooga, was 50 cents per ton, instead of per cent as was sent out from that place. and Is effective September 18th instead of Sep tember 1. Notice to this effect has been sent to all the. railroads interested and to the representatives at points where the commodities are started from. ;
 The freight rates are advanced 50 cents per ton on pig iron and cast iron pipe to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers cross- ings and flor beyond. except to Missouri River points and points on and west Of the Frisco System and points in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado. Utah. Pacific coast. Texas. Indian and Oklahoma territories. A corresponding advance in rates Is also made on all manufactured iron articles from this district.
 The advance Is but the usual result of a strong and firm pig iron market and Is put into effect by the railroads when the iron men are getting the top notch prices for their iron. It Is believed by the time the new rate goes into effect all the iron sold at prices much under those that iron now is being sold at will nave been delivered and that the new prices will be in effect.
 According to the new rate the freight on pig iron to New Orleans is advanced to 8 from $2.50; Cincinnati $3.25 from 2.25 but to points beyond on SzW the rate before being s2.4o. The St. Louis rate Is advanced to $s.25. To points be- yond the Ohio River crossings the rate is advanced to $2.75 per ton.
 The shipments for the balance or the year promises to be heavy, many oiiiing orders having been filed already. or course. it is expected that these will be nrotected. The railroads always have assisted the iron men with their rates' but when the heavy advances in iron come on as they are now the frelght rates go up also.
 The members of the Southern Iron Committee who attended the meeting at which these rates were agreed upon were ,,,,ta unanimous that this was the proper .;,,a Cor s,ich an advance.

 Eastern capitalists are said to be nego- tiating for the purchase of the Belle factory property on the Flint River, ten miles north of Huntsville.

The mil was operated for many years at a biz profit until the machinery wore out Sew eral attempts have been made by East ern men to buy the property and it will command a high price.
 After having been suspended for ten days because of an accident at the power house, the electric cars will resume ope- rations Friday. The company has decid- ed to purchase large amount of ma chinery to prevent accidents of this kind in the future.

prizes very highly is an old prayer and song book published in TITO in London and brought to America before the Revolution by an old bachelor named Tom Hudson. The preface to the book is dated May g. 1898. It says: His Majesty having allow ed and permitted the use of the new version of the Psalms of David. cannot do less than wish a good success to this royal indulgence, for I find it work done with so much judgment and ingenuity. that I am persuaded it may take if that unhappy ob- jection which has hitherto lain against the singing Psalms and dispose that part of divine service to much more devotion. The book is very much discolored on the outside but the printing would do credit to the most up-to-date job office and is perfectly legible.
