It leaves Birmingham at D. m., arriving at Winona at a. m Returning. it leaves Winona at D. m. and arrives in Bir- mingham at Il a. m. There Is a fast freight schedule between Birmingham and the east, but this is the first one running west of Birmingham. The idea originated with Superintendent Richey. and Division Freight Agent Browder says the shippers of this territory cannot fail to appreciate it.
 F. O. Becker, general agent of the Frisco, has his desk temporarily in the Belt Line office on the third floor of the Chalifoux building Space Is being fitted up for him in the Frisco office in the Morris.
 H. W. Heth, accident clerk In Super intendent Richey's office on the Southern railway has resigned to accept the posi- ton of chief clerk to c. $. Hayden, su- perintendent of construction on the Ten nessee Central railroad, with headquar- ters at Nashville. MT.

Bowron is the general su,. rintendent of the new company.
 On the first of January the Shelby Iron company had filled every order on its books for 1902 deliveries, and in addition had anticipated January deliveries by the shipment of several hundred tons on 1903 orders. This fine record is in ac- cordance with the traditions of the com pany.
 The Shelby Iron company was organ ized in 1S4S and since that time has been almost continuously engaged in the man. , ufacture of charcoal pig iron at the town of Shelby, Ala. The iron is of a very su- perior quality, as only brown ore is used In its manufacture. There are two stacks and both have been In full opera ton since 1899. It is said that more than half of the output of the two stacks for 1903 has been sold at satisfactory prices.
 The United Mine Workers have taken less holiday this year than usual. They were digging coal the latter part of De- cember, but they ''knocked off" on New Years. They are all at work this week and will lose no time from now on.
 An official of the United Mine Workers said yesterday that the union was never perhaps, in such good shape in this dis trict as 1t is right now. There never was a time when fewer men were idle.
 There has been no c1amor for coal cars since Christmas, because the output has been small, but since all the mines are al work the 'scarcity howl"-is almost cer. tain to be heard before another weel rolls round. The railroad companies vii do their best to keep all the mines run ming, but the rush of prosperity makes it simply impossible to stay congested conditions altogether.
 | The Jenifer furnace deal, which has been pending for some time will probably be closed this week or next. Pittsburs men are the prospective purchasers of the Jenifer property.

BALL IN PALACE.
European Dance Among the Pillars
 Was a Wonderful Sight.

Delhi India. January e.-The state ball tonight in the palace of the grand mogul proved to be one of the most attractive features of the durbar festivities. The European dance among the columns and pillars of the palace was a strange and wonderful sight. Wken a fanfare of sil- yer trumrets at 1 o'clock announced the arrival Of the viceroy, Lord Curzon of Keddeston, the scene was brilliant one.
 Lady Curzon was gowned in gold bro- cade and wore a magnificent tiara and necklace of diamonds with four rubies that had belonged to the King of Thebaw. Some 5000 guests were present. among them the Duke of Connaught, Lord Kitchener and all the prominent persons in India and the Duchess of Marlborough and numerous other Americans.
 Lord and Lady Curzon and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught on the royal dais received scores of native princes whose costumes were dazzling creations.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

J. w. Mcqueen, secretary-treasurer Of the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany, is naturally proud of his company's record in keeping up with last years contracts. On the first of January the Sloss-S Sheffield had on its yards only S266 tons if pig iron. Of this 794s tons were due customers on 1902 contracts, but had the railroad companies been able to supply cNs there would not have been ton xndelivered. All the iron, therefore, that the Sloss-Sheffield company Is making now goes at high prices.
 The advance of 50 cents a ton in freight rates which went into effect January 1, is accepted 1t is understood, as right and fair by the iron makers, but the Sloss- Sheffield and other companies have asked the Southern iron committee to issue a new billing order to apply to pig metal sold at last years prices and unshipped for the want of cars. It Is contended by tiIuse affected by iron now on the yards, but which was ready for shipment last fall. that the transportation lines can, with perfect justice, comply with their request.
 The Southern iron committee will prob- ably meet soon, but no call has yet been issued A member of the committee said yesterday that he would not be prepared to discuss the situation until the com mittee was in session and the shippers side was submitted for consideration.
 The net earnings of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company for the fiscal year ending December 3l last, amounting to about s2, ,600 900 as GOT pared with S,7A, GOO in 1901, is regarded as an excellent fshowing but an officer of the company 'remarked last night that the showing at the end of this would be far better, because it would include much higher range of prices for iron.
 For the year just ended the fixed charges, preferred dividends. sinking fund and depreciation, amounted to $i.- 21DOO0, which, deducted from the s2,6OO,- 600 of net earnings, leaves a balance Of 1,33O0O0 to be used in betterments. The Tennessee company is making extensive Improvements at Ensley and at it's ore mines. It will expend in betterments and new work at Ensley alone oyer 1000, 900 this year.
 The Valley Iron company, whose plant it at Battelle, in DeKalb county, is de- veloping it's coal mines and 1t will proba- bly, have 150 coke ovens ready for opera tion within the next few weeks. By the time the Alabama Great Southern Rail- road company lays its sidings and spur tracks on the property the new company will be in the market v-'th coal and coke.
 The Valley Iron company will build a large blast furnace and draughtsmen are now busy on the plans. John Bowling,
