Payne's "Last Days of Ponpell."

An interesting exhibition is Pains pyro- technic and spectacular production of the Last Days of Pompeii" which will be seen in Birmingham at the fair grounds, the week of Monday, June 15.
 '.The Last Days of Pompeii," as pre- sented by the famous pyrotechnist, Pain, is a re-enactment of one of the most tragic historical episodes of ancient times. me spectator sees before him within the great amphitheatre a mimic city, covering several acres of ground, with real palaces. arches temples, and other characteristic specimens of Roman architecture in the foreground, and grim old Mt. Vesuvlus towering high above the inflated city of PompeiI in the rear He will see several hundred correctly and gorgeously cos tuned performers on the picturesque streets of this painted city; imposing pageants, Roman sports, and exciting hip- podrome races, pretty pallets, and numer- ous interesting dramatic incidents told in pantomine. In the midst of these fete- day festivities there Is a rumbling of the earthquake, and a series of tremend- ous explosions. From the apex of the gigantic mountain in the background, huge clouds of smoke burst forth, follow ed by a cataclysm of real fire and lava; the monster temples and palaces fall with a crash, while the hundreds of human beings flee in safety from the scene of carnage and destruction.
 In this scene, all the skill and ingenuity of the pyrotechnic electrician, and stage manager is brought Into play.

ST. PAUL SERVICES
 WELL ATTENDED
LARGE CONGREGATION AT ALL THE MASSES "A MARoNITe PRIEST cELEBRANT AT THE 9 O'CLOCK SERVICE.

Large congregations attended all three of the masses at St. Paufs church yes terday, which was Trinity Sunday At the first mass at 7:3o the Rev. Father o'Reilly was celebrant. At the o'clock mass a Maronite preist from Mount Leb- anon was celebrant. according to the Oriental Rite of the Catholic church; and at high mass the Rev Father Kerrigan was celebrant and preacher. While the choir was not as large as usual the music of the mass was well rendered. Mrs. Ba- con was the soprano principal.
 Mrs. Putnam, the soprano soloist of St. Paul's, has had an i'll throat for several weeks past and 1t was feared at one time that her heavenly voice would be hushed for months, if not forever; but her phy- sican now gives hopes of speedy recov- cry.
 The Rev Father OReilly. pastor of St, Paul's, says he is greatly gratified at the increased Sunday collections. The collec- tlons have doubled within the past two years. The collection yesterday was for his holiness, the pope. This offering Is known as Peters Pense. All the faith full wheresover dispersed give something and while the total amount sent from Alabama to the sovereign pontiff may not exceed few thousand dollars, the amount sent from the United States this year will it is believed be close on to a million. Peters Pense from the Catholic world at large is said to total several million dd1- lars.
 Birmingham council No. 635 Knights of Columbus, will hold memorial exercises next Sunday in honor of deceased mem bers-M. J. Mullaly, Dr. Riley and Thom- as McNamee. There will be a memorial mass at St. Pauls at 10:30 and impressive exercises at the Knights of Columbus hall Sunday afternoon.

CUT IN PIG IRON CAME IN GOOD TIME Market is Still in a Waiting
 Condition NO LARGE SALES BOOKED
The Iron Age Says it Is Generally Con- eeded That the Founders Have Bought Very Little for De.
 livery in Second Half.

The most notable feature of the Iron market during the past week was the decision by the members of the Southern association to reduce the price of pig Iron $2.50 a ton. In the future No 3 foundry will probably be used as the basis of quotations also, whereas No. has always been the basis In the past.
 The price for delivering during the baI- ance of the year Is s15.5o for No. 3 and s16 for No ?.
 Cut Came In Good Time.
 A number of local iron men feel that the cut should have been made some time ago and that the present quotation is about what it. should have been during the past month. No very large sales have yet been reached for future deliv- cry. Concerning the position of buyers the Iron Age says:
 Iron Age Discusses 1t.
 The real question Is whether buyers will abandon the waiting attitude in which they have persisted for some time past, and begin to cover for the future. or whether they can and will persist in buy ing from hand to mouth; whether an 'officiar recognition of the true mar ket by a group of leading soldiers will be sufficiently powerful incentive for action. It is pretty generally conceded that founders have bought very little thus far for the second half on the threshold of which we now are, but this does not necessarily lead to immediate contracting on a large scale.
 The point Is made that we are approach ing a level at which a number of poorly located and poorly supplied foundry fur naces will find 1t hard to make ends meet. It is well understood that every pot which can make iron Is running. although at costs which are very high. In fact the best of furnaces, controlling their own raw materials are struggling with cost figures which they would have deem ed impossible three years since. But even the worst of furnaces do not blow out until the last hope has been exhausted while pressure on inflated costs usually yield considerable readjustments.
 The next few weeks will establish the position of buyers, to be determined largely by the rate at which they expect ed to meet.

There have been no developments for the past two days in the Bibb case Local ly it is not believed that anything will turn up for some time. and the only work to be done now is to notify all the north crn cities to keep a watchout for Bibb in case he passes through on his way north.
 Circulars describing Blbb and stating the reward offered for him have been gotten out and sent to all the cities north of here. It is not thought worth while to keep a vigilant watch here, as the detectives do not believe Bibb will re- turn to Birmingham or communicate with any one else in the city

MACHEN'S ROAD MAY
 NOT BE CONTINUED
Looks Like Brunswick 6 Bir- mingham Railroad is Stopped
DEPENDS ON STEEL PLAN I
If the Mohawk Company Erects Big Mill in Brunswick the Road Will Have to Tap the Bir-
 minnham District.

l It now appears that the progress of con. struction on one of Birmingham's pei railroads is to be indefinitely postponed The Brunswick and Birmingham was re gently bought by the Mohawk Steel anc Wire company and optimistic believers ir the ultimate extension of the line to Bir. mingham were jubilant over the report l that the new owners would begin work and immediately complete the line into this district
 They argued that since the Mohawk company intended to build a s1o.00o. .O0O steel plant at Brunswick that they would be compelled to come to this district to supply themselves with iron. and the most natural inference was that they would complete their own road to haul 1t from here to save freight charges of out side corporations.
 Already 1oe Miles Long.
 The Brunswick and Birmingham is al- ready los miles long and the building of that much more track would have brought the line almost to this city.
 Those same optimistic believers seem to have had some of the wind taken out of their sails by the announcement that work on the Mohawk steel plant at Brunswick had been suddenly suspended indefinitely because of the lack of funds. The large corps of engineers at work sur veying the site and making preliminary preparations has been recalled, and the matter at present Is in statu quo.
 If the steel plant is not built it is not probable that the Brunswick and Bir- mingham railroad will be constructed any further.
 The Brunswick and Birmingham, like several other Georgia railroads, is the re- suit of the efforts of Col. E. c. Machena He Is a great promoter a hustler and man of exceptional ability in every way. He was at the head of the Brunswick and Birmingham from the time 1t was first started until recently, when he sud denly disposed of his entire interest in 1t to the Mohawk Steel and Wire company.
 Made Excehei. Trade.
 It is said that he drove an excellent trade and sold the road for good price.
 There Is much speculation concerning the sudden suspension of operations by the Mohawk company The company at the start was seemingly backed by unlm- ited capital, but it Is said that those on the outside who interested themselves in the concern either directly or indirectly have more or less money. Senator Me Laurin Is said to have lost about s115, 900 by acting as security on certain notes. Others are said to have lost smaller amounts, and the outlook is that the sus- pension by the Mohawk company will be permanent.
 Many conservative men, however. be- lieve that the Brunswick and Birming- ham will yet be brought to this city. The division that Is alerady built has always paid well, and if 1t were brought on to Birmingham 1t would be the virgin road through some very rich and prosperous territory, which would make 1t seem that it would pay even better at this end than at the other.
