Consumers Get the Benefit of
 Freight Reduction
SELLING PRICE ID BE CUT
Southern Furnacemen to Meet Here Today for Purpose of Discussing Quotations and Reducing
 Schedule of Quotations.

The freight rate on southern pig iron has been reduced 50 cents a ton to Ohio river and Mississippi river crossings and eastern points reached by southern lines. The reduction becomes effective October 10. This action was taken by the south ern iron, committee, composed of traffic representatives of southern roads at a meeting held in New York yesterday.
 The furnace men of this district had been urging this reduction for some time past and as the consumer gets all the benefit of the drop in the freight tariff 1t is supposed that buying will be stimu- lated.
 The southern association of furnace men will meet this morning at 10 o'clock in the office of President Don H. Bacon of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, Woodward building, for the purpose Of considering the question of quotations on pig iron. It is understood that there will be a cut in prices, but what that cut will be remains to be seen. No. foundry is now quoted at $1175 Some well men in the iron trade predict that 1t will be cut to s1O75 while others say it will not come down below $11. President Bacon said last night in response to question, that he would not venture to say what schedule would be agreed upon.
 The market remains unchanged Con- sumers are buying, only for immediate needs They are holding off, they say, for lower prices before making contracts for future deliveries. It is felt by many manufacturers that with the reduction in the freight rate and with a small cut in the selling price the market will be- come quite active once more.
 The iron on the yards in the Brming- lam district, including Sheffield, is esti- mated to be about 150,000 tons.

NEW TRAIN WILL BE PUT ON ID DECATUR Louisville & Nashville Will h. augurate an Accommodation SERVICE WILL BEGIN NOV. 1 It Will Prove of Very Great Convent. ence to Many People Both In
 Birmingham and Along
 the Line.
SERVICE WILL BEGIN NOV. 1

The Louisville and Nashville railroad will, it is understood put on another pas senger train between Birmingham and Decatur.
 The new service will be inaugurated No vember 1 and will be continuous from that date. The train will leave Birming- ham daily except Sunday at SIS o'clock in the morning. and will arrive at Decatur about $40 o'clock. On the return trip the train will leave Decatur at S:45 O clock and arrive in Birmingham about o'clock in the evening. This is the schedule proposed. but 1t has not yet been definitely decided upon.
 The question of additional service be- tween this city and Decatur has been agi- the Louisville and Nashville will give general satisfaction. Capt. Sid P. Jones secured the cooperation of residents at way stations along the line and also ex- erted his influence on the agents and gen. eral officers.
 The Age Herald has urged this accom- modation train for about a year on &C., count of the evident necessity for it and the great convenience it would be to res- idents of both towns as well as to people living at intermediate points.
 Owners and operators of industries situated outside the city will now be able to go out to their work every morning and return to town in the evening. In addition people in Decatur, or at way sta tons, who desire to come into Birming- ham for an evenings amusement will be able to do so without spending large part of the next day in waiting for a train. The Age-Herald's mail service to stations along this line will also be great ly improved, as the papers will arrive in Decatur in time for morning readers.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

The Wall Street Journal says: Operators of Bessemer pig iron blast furnaces are in session at Pittsburg dis cussing plans for the curtaiment tenn porarily of the pig iron output.
 The plan which meets with the general sentiment is to close down all the fur naces in the Lake Superior ore district . including practically all making Besse- mer pig iron-for thirty days. It Is set forth that this method, which would not work hardship in any quarter, would effectively dissipate the compara- lively small surplus of Bessemer pig, and would prevent ahy overplus for the year.
 Closing down for thirty days would arbitrarily reduce the years output of iron by not less than 1,5O0,OOO tons. and thus bring the total production for the year to about 19,00O,OOO tons.
 The second plan, which is also being considered by the foundry furnace inter- ests, is to curtail production say 20 per cent, and at the same time reduce wages 10 per cent. There are many advocates of this policy who maintain that until cost of production is cut down through IeuuctioH Ol wages, the DIE Iron Sftud- tion cannot become normal.
 The opponents of the plan, which would bring on a possible conflict with labor. say that business is too good to warrant such an extreme step. Most of the fur naces have practically all the work they can do for thenext four months, and the present surplus they say, would disap-
 
 pear in thirty days with a revival of briskness in the trade.
 Wall St. Journal: A prominent pig iron interest says:
 "Curtailment of production as now prac- tically agreed upon, both as to foundry and Bessemer will not have to last longer than six weeks.
 we are less than 100000 tons ahead of consumption, with the market getting little better. There is such a small surplus of iron anywhere that the over plus may be below the estimate given"

NEGRO DROWNS IN A SWIMMING POOL Cary Key Was Bathing in Ath-
 letic Club VIOLATED A RIGID RULE Worked for Club and Slipped Through Window for Bath After He Had
 Been Home for Clean
 Clothes.
VIOLATED A RIGID RULE

As the result of stealing bath in the swimming pool of the Birmingham Ath- letic club Wednesday night, Cary Key negro porter is dead. His body was found at the bottom of the pool yesterday morn, ing by Earl Griffin, another porter, about 8 o'clock soon after the latter opened the club for the day
 It seemed clearly evident from the cir cumstances that the dead negro slipped into the club building through window Wednesday night after the club had been closed and locked up, and went into the swimming pool for a bath. While In there it Is supposed he had cramp, or slipped and struck his head against some- thing. He was found in the deepest part of the pool, which Is the center where the water is about seven feet deep.
 Near the side of the pool was found the negro's clothing. There were his soiled garments which he had just removed, and near was a bundle of fresh clothing which the negro had brought with him to put on after the bath.
 Worked at the Club.
 Key was at work at the club Wednes- day night and left shortly after 1O:3O O clock when Secretary Miles closed and locked the building The negro with the other porteSs went around and locked the windows as usual, but he left one look ing out on the front balcony open so that he could crawl through 1t later. He went home, secured the clean clothing and went back to take the bath.
 The negro was never seen after he left the club, and exactly how he died will never be known. There is wound on the side of his head, which was seemingly made by his striking it against some blunt place. One theory is that the ne- gro slipped on the smooth marble floor ing of the bath room and fell into the pool. The fall probably stunned him, as he struck his head against something, and he drowned before returning to con- sciousness.
 Another theory is that he had cramp while in swimming and was drowned be- fore he could reach a shallow portion of the pool. The pool is shallow at either end and deepest in the middle. When the members are in bathing there are sev- eral attendants near to render assist ance in case of trouble. so 1t Is impossi- ble for any one to drown unless alone.
 Violated Rigid Rule.
 Such a thing as one of the negroes going into the pool or using any of the baths is a violation of one of the clubs s most rigid rules, and the members are very much put out about the actions. of this negro.
 As soon as the body was found yester- day morning the officers of the club were notified and Coroner Paris was sent for. He had the remains removed to Warner Smiley's undertaking establish ment, where they were prepared for bu- rial. The coroner has rendered a deci- sion of accidental death. From the evi- dence 1t cannot be anything except case of death by accident.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Ratio Emmett.

Katie Emmett appeared last night at the Jefferson in "The Waifs of New York" There was a fair-slzed house, much of which was in the gallery, which went into raptures over the thrilling cli- maxes of the piece.
 Miss Emmett has appeared so often in the part of Willie Rufus, the young ne- gro that she Is thoroughly at home fin every line of the scene. Whenever she appeared in a climax and made daring rescue of the child the gallery would ap- plaud long and loud, and at the same time there was much enthusiasm down stairs. Of it's kind the piece is very good and Miss Emmett has a fairly good com pany supporting her.
 There will be a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight.

RAILROAD WORLD.

Wall Street Journal: In the practical reconstruction of the Baltimore & Ohio ; Railroad so that it may prove the 'lne of least resistance" between Chicago and the seaboard so much has already been done that the magnitude of the work has not yet been fully appreciated
 The management of the Baltimore & Ohio proposes ultimately to have between ] Chicago and the Atlantic:
 1 l. A railroad that will have 15.S feet to the mile. or three-tenths of 1 per cent, l as its maximum grade from the crossing of the Allegheny mountains to Chicago, a distance of 600 miles.
 1 ?. Between the mountains and the sea- board, a distance of 21O miles, a road upon only nine miles of which helper will be necessary.
 8 The most natural route-"the ave- nue of least resstance"-for the move i ment of all classes of traffic between the port of Baltimore and the gateway of the west-Chicago.
 r About $31, GOO will be spent in making these improvements. Reviewing the sum- mary it must be borne in mind that the road has already expended s75,0OO,000 cov- ering a period of five years back, and that for the $31, 100000 of improvements under way no new financing is necessary.
 The expansion in terminal facilities Is worth consideration. The new yards when completed, will give accommoda tions for 66,00O cars. The Baltimore & Ohio is conspicuous in the Grand Union for, o1 r1a at ncrtn u spend $60OO,OO0 as-its part of the s1500O,- 900 project In which are jointly interest ed the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio and the United States government
 Globe-D Democrat: A meeting was held today of the Mexican Central railroad in come bondholders Over s70O0,000 income bonds were represented. A committee, as already announced, was appointed to in- vestigate the affairs of the company, to act protectively for the bondholders and cali for the deposit of bonds for those who are dissatisfied with the offer of the company made through the Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. syndicate also to ascer- tain why no return has been made of the business affairs of the company.
 A second protective committee of in- come bondholders was formed at a meet ing held in the office of J. H. War ner Gen. B. F. Tracy and the represen- tatives of a number of trust companies and banks are on the committee, which seeks to get a better offer than that put forth by Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. for the conversion of the bonds.
