WOULD WE'D EDNA HOPPER.
Stephen Elkins, Jr., Is Wooing the
Famous Actress.


The San Francisco Call in an article
on the suit of Stephen Elkins, Jr., for
the hand of Edna Wallace Hopper,
says:
HE has been here for the past five
days, a frequenter of the Palace Hotel
and other places of social resort, and
yet his presence did not become gener-
ally known until yesterday. His tenn
porary abode is a local restaurant.
where, however, he spends very little
time, for he is devoted to the object of
his affection, and he is often across the
bay at the country residence of the
pretty actress and heiress.
'eThat young Elkins is determined to
wed Miss Hopper, and that she is willing
TO accept the name and companionship

company of the young couple will gain

Call has ample authority for the asser-

San Francisco and expects to remain
here until Miss Hopper is ready to

way. The immediate purpose of
the enterprise is the construction
of line of railway from this city
TO Aberdeen, and the charter will
be secured and the company or
ganized and operations begun to
that end right away.
The building of line of railway
from the city of Aberdeen to con
meet with the Frisco system and
the Illinois Central. is a project
which has long interested railroad
men on account of the country
which it would penetrate, the prac-
ticability and ease of construction
of the new line and the splendid
traffic arrangements which can be
secured at the above point. Sew
eral years ago the Frisco system
made survey of this end and it
was developed that after passing
through the hills Immediately to
the north of Columbus that the
line is perfect tangent to Aber-
deem over a country smooth and
even and which will admit of cheap
railroad construction. 1t is the
purpose of the projectors of this
line to carry it through and to work
until the road is built.
The charter will be filed at once
and the organization completed
when subscriptions to the capital
stock will be secured, grants of
right of way and timber lands will
be- solicited and every energy put
forth TO get the project upon firm
and secure footing. The project
ors already have assurances that
traffic arrangements will be made
with both systems at Aberdeen
and once completed it will give
this city two more railroads., both
systems operating independent
and apart from the Southern and
the Mobile & Ohio.
The people of Columbus should
sustain the effort of these gentle
men to solve our railroad dilemma
1t means a great deal to this city
and county. The enterprise is
thoroughly feasible and practical,
and should and will be carried
/ through.

FATHER FAILED
 TO KEEP CHILD
IN ADDITION TO THIS J. C. BlNYoN IS SENTENCED TO SERVE THREE DAYS IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

J. C. Binyon has been confined in the county jail upon the order of Judge s. E. Greene of the criminal court for con tempt of court.
 Binyon was formerly reader of meters in the employ of the Birmingham Water Works company and it Is said he and his wife had some sort of disagreement some time ago. Binyon is said to have taken one of their little children, a girl, and to have kept her at the house of a friend so that Mrs. Binyon could not get possession of her
 Mrs. Binyon being anxious to recover the child sued out writ of habeas cor pus to regain possession, and Binyon was ordered to appear before Judge Greene at 12~o'clock last Thursday
 It was thought that he intended to leave the city with the child that day and that he was going to start from Besse- mer. Such proved to be the case and he was arrested just as he was about to board the train at Bessemer. When he was brought before Judge Greene Mrs. Binyon was given possession of the little girl and Binyon was severely reprimand- ed by the court for his failure to appear and was sentenced to serve three days for contempt of court.

 ENJOY A SMOKER
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW MEN FROM LOUISVILLE OVER DISTRICT.

Plans for the entertainment of the party of Louisville business men who will be here tomorrow, were practically com peted yesterday. The special entertain- ment committee appointed by President l Jackson of the Commercial club will wait | on the visitors in their special train and l escort them to the Commercial club
 rooms where smoker will be given. A general invitation has been issued to the business men of the city, whether members of the club or not, to be present at the smoker, and all members of the club have been asked to attend.
 The smoker will be entirely informal and a number of short addresses will be made. As briefly as possible the mem- bers of the club will set forth the ad- vantages of the district, and will well come the Louisville men here.
 The party consists of about one hun dred of the business men of Louisville who are making short tour of the south. studying It's resources and advantages. The party leaves Birmingham about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. Owing to the short stay in Birmingham 1t was impos- sibe for the club to arrange to show them over the district.
