 History of the
 City.
REGISTRATION INCREASING

Ensley, November 9.-(special.)- With good luck the probabilities are very strong that the steel plant of the Tennessee company will eclipse its record of last month when over 10000 tons of steel were made So far all the departments of the steel works have been operating on full time and almost every day previous records are being smashed.
 It is stated now that the company has the steel plant on a basis from which the amount realized has gone beyond all anticipations.
 The furnaces are also making splen- did records. The recent improve ments in the way of blowing engines and other improved machinery is do- ing much towards increasing the out put.
 The rod mill is now working over time and producing finished products in large volumes. It is also using the steel billets made by it's steel plant at Gadsden.
 The blow works, the Semet-Solvay satisfactory records.
