CADSDEN.
City of Gadsden Wins Case Aeainet
 Mitchell ct al.

Gadsden, October 12,-(Special)- )-In the equity division of the city court of Gads- den the city has won the first legal tilt with R. A. Mitchell and W. H. Weller in the dispute over the franchise granted by the city council to them for a water works system. During the Blackwood administration franchise was granted to Weller and Mitchell to construct and op- crate a system of water works in Gadsden and all the rates were fixed in the fran ehise for fire, hydraulic and domestic rates. When the present administration was installed the first thing they did was to revoke the franchise, when the grantees filed a bill of complaint in the ehancery court asking that the mayor and alder men be restrained from interfering with the complainants in the construction of the water system and that the city be made to carry out the contract. The case was argued several weeks ago before Judge Disque and today he handed down his decision dismisslng the case for want of equity.
 Progress at the steel plant the past week has been very satisfactory. The contractors have begun to lay the roof ing and siding on the large buildings, the framing being about completed. Work is being pushed on the bloom mill, while the foundation work and the gas conduits are rapidly nearing completion.
