VOLUNTEERS TO GET
 A NEW EQUIPMENT
Alabama Is the First State to Receive Uniforms and Rifles Under
 the Dick Law.

First Lieut.. Robert Gregory of the Jeff ferson Volunteers will go to Montgom- cry this morning to get the new equip ment for his company, which has just been received by Adjutant General Bran don.
 The equipment is being issued to all the companies in the state under the new Dick military law. which was passed at the last session of congress.
 N nen 1t was thought that the Dick bill would be passed Adjutant General Bran don was the first to put in a acquisition for equipment, and Alabama Is the first state to receive the equipment. Besides uniforms, leggins, blankets and all side arms, the militia will now be supplied with Krag Jorgensen magazine rifles.
 This is the first time in the history of the Alabama National Guard that it has had magazine rifles, and 1t is believed that they will greatly increase the effi- ciency of the national guard throughout this state and all other parts of the coun- try.
 Company commanders. or officers from all the other companies in the state have been ordered to come to Montgomery and receive the new equipment and to turn the old equipment over to the sdjutant general in order that it may be returned to the government.

WILL SHOOT FOR
 THE LOVING CUP
PICKED MEMBERS OF B!RMlNG- HAM GUN CLUB GO TO NASH WILLIE AND WILL CONTEST WITH PICKED TEAM THERE.

A team consisting of ten members of the Birmingham Gun club left yesterday morning for Nashville to shoot picked team of the Nashville Gun club for the loving cup which was offered by the Gray-Dudley Hardware company.
 The local team consists of A s. Mathews, John Livingston, J. A. Kirk. John Fletcher, Jeff Grady, R. H. Baugh, Dr. J. E. Frazier, J. c. Broyles, M. P. G. Hillman and H. c. Abbott.
 The cup was offered several years ago and has been won continually by the Nashville team. The conditions of the shoot were such that the local club had about decided not to go to Nashville, but changed it's mind, and the team was hastily gotten up.
 Several members of the team led in the last shoot here and defeated all ann ateurs, so that it is generally believed that they will have little trouble in walk ing away with the cup, even though Nashville has some good shots.

ASS|GNEES HAVE
 BEEN DISCHARGED Bankruptcy Proceedings in lu- Cile Mine Litigation Dismissed AN AGREEMENT REACHED Lucille Company Has Been Reoreanized and It Is Said That Ample Capital
 Is in Hand for Large
 Operations.
AN AGREEMENT REACHED

The Lucille mine litigation has come to an end, and yesterday Judge Jones at Montgomery, on motion of Vaughan and Davidson entered an order dismissing the bankruptcy proceedings and discharging the assignees. W. T. Simmons and T. H. Moore, on their turning the property over to the company
 As will be remembered certain creditors of the Lucille Mining company brought proceedings asking that the company be declared bankrupt, making the usual and necessary allegations The officers of the company acknowledged the com pany's indebtedness and insolvency and receivers were appointed.
 The Alabama Mineral Land company and the Campbell Coal and Coke compa- ny intervened and asked that the prop erty be turned over to them, they being the leasors of the property under a lease which they claimed had been forfeited by the non-fulfllment of certain covenants
 HotIy Contested.
 This petition was hotly contested by the company and the receivers who filed an answer to the intervening petition that contained allegations of a highly sensa- tlonal character.
 Testimony was taken for several days before Referee in Bankruptcy TrimbIe and day was set for hearing arguments. when the judge stopped further proceed ings pending a personal investigation of the case, this action being taken because of an intervening petition filed by the B. F. Roden Grocery. company and on certain representations made to the court.

DECISION HAS NOT
 YET BEEN REACHED Rumors as to What Arbitration
 Award Will Be SEMI-MON THLY PAY DAYS
Arbitration Commission Held Late Session Last Night But Nothing Was Given Out-Award Expect
 ed Soon; Probably Tonight.

The arbitration commission spent an' other day of hard work yesterday It held three sessions and at late hour in the evening was still grinding away. trying to whip matters into shape. When the ar bitrators adjourned the terms of the award were, it was said. still unsettled.
 At 1O:30 last night pr. Neill, the re- corder, sent out word that they were still in session. and that there was noth- ing to give out.
 There was much gossip and speculation indulged in yesterday concerning the terms of the award.
 Persistent Rumor
 One story that was adhered to with great persistency was to the effect that the board had already agreed upon a semi-monthly pay day, Q nine-hour day and an advance of 21s cents per ton.
 In speaking of this rumor last evening a prominent attorney said: The com mission may have agreed upon the semi monthly pay day; in fact, I rather ex- pect that that will constitute part of its finding, but as to the other two propo- sitions, I cannot believe that there is any truth in the rumor; in fact. judging from the preponderance of evidence, as given at the hearings, have looked to see the arbitrators reduce rather than advance the wage scale. As to the hours, l don't see why the miners make such point of 1t, as they have been in the habit of working as long or as short time as they chose. To my mind the best finding would be one that required the miners to work a certain number of hours week ly, and so many full days monthly to con- stitute weeks and a months work"
 No Positive Information.
 "I don't believe, however, that any one excepting the five arbitrators and the re- corder have any positive information as to what has been agreed to- We will know all about it when the award is made, and until then we may guess if it affords us any pleasure"
 Those who have watched the proceed ings and are aware of the great mass of evidence introduced are inclined to think that the findings cannot be arrived at earlier than this evening, and many be- lieve that the matter will run over into next week. It is, however, the general opinion that Judge Gray will so expedite matters that all will be finished before the sun goes down tonight.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

The following extract is made from the financial column of the New York Times
 Undue importance has been attached to the announcement that the associated southern furpace companies have reduced the price of No. foundry from S13.5O to S12.00, Birmingham. AS in previous reductions in the official price, the asso- ciated furnacemen have again merely re- cognized the settling of the market on the part of the independent producers For some weeks quotations on southern foun- dry iron have been based on a SIP rate. The official reduction can, therefore, hardly be characterized as cut. The action thus taken, however, has some sig nificance in showing that the associated producers recognize that iron cannot be marketed above SIP, Birmingham. It re- mains to be seen whether the official price now named can be maintained or whether it will be further reduced. The volume of business has certainly increas- ed heavily of late, but some of 1t has been placed under the rate now named by the associated furnacemen. The Chi cago market has been particularly active. It is stated that the International Har- vester company has purchased fully 10O,- GOO tons in the past two weeks, of which 75,OOO tons were northern and 25,O0O tons southern, and Is still in the market.
 Sales of malleable iron at Chicago thus far during the month are placed at 10O,- 600 tons, and basic iron is in greater de- mand, with negotiations pending on 15,- GOO to 2O,000 tons. The smaller western consumers are also buying more freely Cincinnati and St. Louis report increas- ed business. Eastern markets are like wise fairly active, but Pittsburg reports quiet conditions in pig iron.
 The International Harvester company has purchased 40,000 tons of soft steel bars and HOO tons of light sheets for de- livery in 19o3-4 The placing of this busi- ness has been deferred for long time. and it's consummation now is likely to influence other buyers in the same lines.
 Officials of the United States Steel cor poration take hopeful view of the sit uation. They state that the subsidiary companies now have as large a tonnage on their books as at the corresponding time last year. The condition of the tube, tin plate, and wire trades is es- pecially good The National Tube com pany was never so crowded with work at at present. The closing of some de- partments at the Homestead works of the Carnegie Steel company is due to the pressing necessity for repairs, as these departments have been operated to their utmost for more than two years. The sheet trade has for some time been less active, but it is stated that no more sheet mills are now idle than usual at this season in ordinary years. The struc- tural trade is lighter than during tn spring months, mainly on account of strikes in the building trades. The cor poration Is not negotiating for Bessemer pig iron, and no purchases will be made for some time.

MAN SWINDLES TWO
 WEST END WOMEN
HE CLAIMS TO REPRESENT AT. LANTA CONCERN, AND TRADED INFERIOR sPEcTAcLEs FOR
 FINE oNES-GoT SOME MONEY.

A man who gave his name as Dr. c. T. Mans, and claiming to sell goods for T, A. Hardy & Go. of Atlanta, is accused of swindling two women at West End out of about $50 yesterday morning in a very smooth manner.
 The doctor went to the houses of Mrs. J. w. R. Stevens and Mrs. Lloyd, on Pearl street, and traded these ladies out of two fine pairs of eye glasses and got some money besides, leaving them with rairs of plain glass spectacles with brass rims.
 The doctor claimed that a local jeweler was the representative of the Atlanta concern. and that he was working the trade here. Mrs Stevens gave him a $15 pair of spectacles and $5 in cash for a pair of brass-rimmed glasses, which are said to contain nothing but ordinary win- dow glass.
 Mrs. Lloyd gave him fine pair of glasses and S3 and received in exchange a very inferior grade of brass spectacles.

RAILROAD WORLD.

The Knoxville Sentinel of yesterday says:
 Another contest between the Southern railway and the Louisville and Nashville is imminent.
 There has been a quiet move on the part of the Atlanta, Knoxville and North ern officials A call meeting of directors was held here today.
 It looks like a war on the Rabun Gap route. Howell Peyton, engineer in charge of the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern railway, 1t is learned has been mustered near the scene of the conflict along Little Tennessee river. Shipments of railroad ties and rails have been nov ing today on the Atlanta. Knoxville and Northern road.
 It will not surprising if there is not a repetition of the South Knoxville fight on a bigger scale. along the Little Ten nessee river route
 The Southern railway will probably muster forces and push ahead the work which 1t has on hand.
 As can we'll be expected the officials of the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern railway are non-communicative about the real purpose of the move, but the Sentinel has a straight tip and if some thing is not doing tomorrow 1t will not be because there is not a good deal of preparations
 The Nashville Car Service association during July handled a total of 94547 cars, against 12.633 in July last year. The in- crease Is partly due to a heavier busi- ness at Nashville. but is more accounted for by the enlargement of the territory covered by the association.
 Eight hundred and seventy-fve cars were detained over time this year against All last year. The average detention this year was 117 per cent. decrease of .05 under July last year.
 John T. Cheek chief dispatcher of the Knoxville division of the Southern rail- way. has resigned his position to accept a similar one with the Illinois Central railroad at Carbondale, H.. under Assis- tant Superintendent c. L. Ewing of that division. and former division superinten- dent of the Knoxville division of the Southern railway.
 The following statement is made on the authority of the Knoxville Sentinel:
 The coach department of the Lonsdale shops of the Southern railway has been shut down for sixty days. Mention was was made the other day of the fact that the force had been laid off, but the extent of the shut down of that department of the shops has not been mentioned before. About fifty men are out of employment by reason of the cutting down of the force and finally in the shutting down of the department. The shops are losing these men, who are going to various other shops to get work. Some of them have been employed in the Knoxville shops for ten, twelve and fifteen years and a better force could hardly be found anywhere, and it will be difficult to get as good a one for some time.
