 Relatives Of Those Aboard Getting
 Uneasy-River Near Closing Pc in
 Somewhere in the ice between here and Fit. Yukon barge load ot passengers under the pilotage of N. C. officials is slowly making their way to Rampant. It. is not known when the barge left Circle, and as telegraphic communication Is broken there is no way in which this information can be obtained. In addition to many passengers the Indian crews of the various N. C. boats now upriver are also aboard.
 The relatives of the voyagers, here in Rampant, are getting very anxious, and the rapid filling up of the river with ice does not tend to allay their anxiety. Manager Dun- can, whose wife is aboard, expects the barge to arrive here tonight or tomorrow. Many residents are of opinion that the barge will not make Rampant before the rapid accumulation of ice renders river travel impossible. Tn this event they may not arrive until the trail is such that the trip can be com pleted on the ice.

A GROWING Fund.

The next payment OF the Illinois
Central railroad into the state treas.
ury viii be 1915, II. making an aggre.
gate for the year OF SLOTS, 769 and an
aggregate for forty-eight years of
S2l, lot. 7S5. The last semi-annual
payment is the largest ever made, the
payment for the previous six months
ended April 30. 1902, being s44s.549.
The income Of the state from the
Illinois Central railroad, based as it is
on the gross earnings OF the road, must
necessarily increase with increase Of
business on the road. and it is clear
the maximum of earnings Mas not been
reached. The proposition under
which this income is secured to the
state Is a very simple one and it illus.
trates the methods Of the early ILL
nois legislators.
The first bill to give a land grant
to a railroad from Chicago to Cairo
and from Chicago to the upper Mis-
sippi was introduced in congress in
1S4S by Senator Stephen A. Douglas.
The bill amended and modified. be.
came q law in 1850.
The act ceded to the state Of iii
nois, subject to the disposal of the
Legislature thereof. for the purpose of
aiding In construction OF q railroad
from the southern terminus Of the ILL
n0is and Michigan canal to q point at
or near the junction Of the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. with a branch Of
the same to Chicago and another by
way of the town of Galena to Dubu-
que, Iowa, every alternate section of
land designated by even numbers for
six sections on either side of said road
and branches. The grant aggregated
1885, 900 acres Of land.
The Illinois legislature at the SEES
sion Of 1851 enacted a law authorizing
the construction OF the railroa,s in ac-
~cordance with the act Of congress.
The Illinois Central Railroad company
was organized and accepted the terms
OF the law on the same day.
The terms were. in brief, that, in
consideration Of the cession Of the land
granted to the state, the company
would construct the proposed rail
road within a specified time and pay
to the state Z per cent Of its gross
annual earnings.
The main line from Cairo to La
Sale. sol miles, was completed June
s, 1855, the building of a branch from
La Sale to Dunlieth, 146 miles in
length, vas completed Jan II, 1855,
and the junction with the main line,
$50 miles was completed Sept. 26,
1856.
The first payment into the state
treasury was made Oct. 81, 1855, and
amounted to $29.751. For the next six
months the payment was $31, $50. At
ter the opening of the Chicago branch
the s%emi-annual payment increased to
SAG. 102, and the next payment, for. the
six months ended April 80. 1857. was
$50. 1876.
The semi-annual payments went
above the $4,000 mark for the six
months ended Oct. 81 Of that year.

BUILDINGS TO BE
 FINISHED BY OCT.
MOORE 6 HANDLEY HARDWARE co. TO HAVE MOST COMPLETE STRUCTURES OF THEIR KIND IN THE SOUTH.

The work of excavation for the new buildings of the Moore 6 Handley Hard ware company on Avenue B between Twentieth and Twenty-first street has be- gun and the structure will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible.
 Architect William c. Weston stated yes terday that these buildings would be the most complete of their kind in the south. The building facing Twentieth street will be S61bx150 feet, five stories high and will be built of specxled gray brick laid with white mortar. It will have plate glass windows and a large vestibule entrance on Twentieth street. At the rear will be a driveway, covered over by the second floor.
 The first floor will be devoted to the general offices and sales rooms. A large vault will also be built on this floor. On the second floor will be reception rooms for ladies and toilets for both ladies and gentlemen.
 The columns supporting the various floors will rest on concrete caissons. There will be one freight and one passenger elevator.
 The building fronting on Avenue A and Twenty-frst street will be three stories high and 174x1821s feet in size. It will be used largely as warerooms.
 Both buildings will be semi-hre proof and each will be equipped with unique system for preventing fires A large tank is on the roof and pipes will be run from this over the whole of both buildings. These pipes will not be further than ten feet apart in any part of the building. At short distances apart on these pipes will be patent glass arrangements which break the moment flames touches them. The break lets out the water which is spread over considerable surface by the arrangement of the orifice.
 It Is the intention of the owners to have both structures completed by October 1.

LAW MOTE HAD A
 BRILLIANT AFFAIR
BANQUET AT FLORENCE HOTEL LAST NIGHT WAS ENJOYED BY MANY MEMBERS OF THE BAR. HAPPY ToAsTs.

The Law Mote banquet given at the FIorance hotel last night was pronounced hv those present the most successful Tn the history of the organization Ahe toasts were all eloquent and inspiring ana reflected great credit on the Birmingham bar.
 The first toast responded to was by the puest of the evening, Judge H. M. Somer- vile of the United States Court of Ap- nraisers of New York. His theme was .Reminiscences," and he gave graphic and instructive talk on the early days In Alabama.
 Judge somerville was formerly of Tus- caloosa and was one of the most distin- suished members of the Alabama bar In former days.
 Among the other invited guests present were Judge A. A. Coleman, Judge Charies A. Senn, Judge Samuel E. Greene, Chan celIor J. c. Carmichael, Judge D. A. Green, Judge Thomas G. Jones, Judge B. c. Jones of Bessemer, Judge N. B. Fea- gin, Judge J. P. Stiles, Judge N. w. Trimble and Judge H. A. Sharpe.
 The Hon. S. D. Weakley officiated as toastmaster. One of the best responses was by Hugh Morrow to "Woman. He was introduced by the toastmaster as the son of an estimable mother, the husband of a charming wife and the father or three baby girls, and therefore eminently qualified to speak on the subject.
 The list of toasts was carried out ac- cording to the programme with the ex- ception of those of the Hon. w. w. Will kerson, Frank S. White IT., and the Hon. Jesse Stallings, who were unable to be

LIoyd's In Time of Anxiety.

Chalmers Roberts in Worlds work.
 Only recently a great Atlantic liner was announced to be three days overdue. On the third day there was no noticeable advance In the rate charged for those who had neglected to insure property shipped upon 1t, but on the fourth day, when anxiety as to both the passengers and the property on board had increased, 1t was ominously announced from Lloyd's that the rate of insurance upon that particular vessel had been ad- vanced to S10 in $500. This was on Tuesday. On Wednesday, when no fur. ther news had been heard, the rate had jumped from $25 in the $500. On Thurs day it reached $50, and by Friday the enormous sum of $100 in $500 was de- clared to be the rate in any and all manner of insurance upon the missing vessel. It. Is needless to say how hor- ribly these announcements confirmed the anxious fears of those most deeply con- cerned in the arrival of the vessel, for all the world knows that if there is any hope it will be longest found at Lloyd's It Is also needless to say that when the great liner in question finally reached her dock in New York nowhere was there greater rejoicing at the announce ment than in the room where It was tolled out by the bell of the Lutine and read by the crier to the assembled crowd at Lloyd's.
