RAILROAD WORLD.

The Southern handled Gentry Brothers nston last night.
 The relations between Major J. F. Han son, chairman of the board of directors of the Central of Georgia, and President John M. Egan of that road have become so strained that a meeting of the board has been called in New York to take some steps to adjust the differences.
 It Is understood that Major Hanson be- lieves President Egan Is extravagant in the management of the road and that they have disagreed on a general policy of management for several months The meeting is to be held in New York prob ably this week and it is thought pos sible that one of the two men will have to retire in the near future.
 Major Hanson is known to be very con- servative in the matter of expenditures for the road and by his objecting to what he terms President Egans extravaganza, the latter claims he is interfering and will ultimately block the progress of the road.
 MdJOI IldllSOIi pH lAt OlneI udnbi udS a great many friends who maintain that his attitude is correct and that steps should be taken to curb MT. Egan.
 Rumors are current to the effect that the two south-end passenger trains of the Alabama Great Southern will be ex- tended to Chattanooga soon on account of the growth of the business between that point and Birmingham.
 It Is reported from New York that the delay in the Rock Island-Frisco negotia- tions was caused by a desire on the part of the interested persons to know the outcome of the recent decision in the merger case. There is a general feeling however, that the union of the two sys- tems will go into effect about July 1 of this year.

SEcRETARYs REPORT GOOD.
Junior Order of American Mechanics
 Increasing in Alabama.

State Council Secretary Humphrey of the Junior Order of American Mechanics has just finished his report to be sub mitted to the next state council. It shows a substantial and gratifying growth dur iEg the past year, and that the order in Alabama is in most healthy condition.
 The next state council, which meets in Nolans hall, Ensley, on Tuesday. April 21, will, it Is expected be the largest and most important meeting in the history of the order in Alabama. Much legisla- ton will be considered, including revision of the old or the adoption of an entire new set of laws, adjusting the price of in- itiation, and fixing the basis of represen- tation.
 The Ensley council, which has charge of the local arrangement, has about for mulated its plans. and all who attend are assured of a most pleasant and instruc- tive visit to the Steel City.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

The new blooming mill engine of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany at Ensley will probably be operat- ing within the next thirty days.
 This engine Is one of the largest ever manufactured in the United States and is a very valuable addition to the Ensley plant of the Tennessee company.
 The Iron Age last week contained an exhaustive description of the engine, to- gether with an illustration of it. It was made by the Mesta Machine company of Pittsburg, whose local agents are Shook S, Fletcher. The engine will be used to drive the H-inch blooming mill at the steel plant.
 It's shaft is hollow-forged, and with the disk and balance wheel weighs 1430OO pounds A special four-truck car was required to haul 1t, and 1t made the heav- fest load ever hauled by a southern rail- road. After reaching Cincinnati over the Pennsylvania railroad the Louisville and Nashville and the Queen and Crescent refused to handle 1t because they feared their bridges would be unable to stand so much weight at one point in the train.
 It was taken from Cincinnati to St. Louis over the Baltimore and Ohio South western, and from there over the Illinois Central and Frisco to Ensley.
 Engines of this kind are necessarily made very massive on account of the heavy work they must do. The speed is also very high, however. often reaching 200 revolutions per minute. so that all moving parts must be exceptionally strong, and at the same time as light as possible to obtain the speed. The steam cylinders of the new engine are 55 inches In diameter. with 66-inch stroke. The piston valves are used to distribute the steam, and the engine can be operated so as to stop at any part of stroke.
 The engine operated under usual every day conditions will attain for short peri ods speed of 150 revolutions per minute and will develop upwards of 16,0OO- horse power

 The election of successor to James T. Meade, who died recently and who held the position of city tax collector, will probably be held. There are three candi- dates in the race for this office - H. A. Richardson, l.. P. Hill and Capt. H. F. Bridewell. It is rumored that several more may be In the race.
 Four members oe the present board will retire after the election in May. They are R. H. Kerr, P. H. Linnehan, R. P. McNally and J. F. Harrington.
