NEW ATLANTA BRANCH
TRACK OF THE s. A. l.. IS COMPLETE
 TO BIRMINGHAM.
Freight Trains Start Tomorrow Morn- ing-Congressional Party Return ing From Panama-Chrfst-
 mas Holiday Rates.

MT. W. R. Watkins who has had some of the contract work on the seaboard Air Lines Birmingham and Atalnta branch passed through the city last night.
 He says that the first freight trains will be started on that road Monday morning, a heavy business being ready for them at the start. The road he says Is two miles shorter than the Southern's line from Atlanta to Bir- mingham, but on account of the cuty ting down of grades and curves pas- senger trains will be enabled to make much better time than on the Southern road. Passenger trains will not be put on until the road Is thoroughly sur faded up and when that Is done 1t will ibe one of the finest roadbeds in the South, slag and rock ballast all the way. The estimates at first, he says, were something like $s,0oo, 900, but is has already cost over Sio.ooo.- 900. A big part of the expense were the terminals and building down Avenue A into Birmingham.
 Mr. Watkins had a contract for building four miles, mostly bridge work, though he says expensive cul- verts have taken place of most of the bridges.
 MT. watkins did a good part of the
 
 Montgomery to Americus. and also had charge of building the big dam at Tallassee. MT. Hardaway being asso- ciated with him at that time.
 The Western train due at Il a. m. was five hours late yesterday, reach ing Montgomery at four o'clock in the afternoon, trouble on the Southern be- ing the cause.
 Congressman Hepburn and the dele- gation who have been to inspect the Panama Canal will pass through Mont gomery this morning en route to Wash ington. MT. Hepburn is chairman of the Panama Canal Commission. The party landed in New Orleans Friday and will go direct to Washington.
 The holiday rates for all the roads in the Soutehastern Passenger Asso- citation will take effect December 17th. school teachers and school children take effect on the 17th-they are a fare and a third for the round trip. For general excursions the rates will not be in force until December 23rd.
 A New York Telegram to the New Orleans Picayune says:
 The New ' 1ork Central IS TO longer a Vanderbilt road. The VanredbiIt and Rockefeller holdings in the great rail- road have been pooled and placed in the hands of James Stillman as trus- tee. Stillman is the President of the National City Bank. the head of the Rockefeller chain of banks. and he Is also the first of the Rockefeller lieutenants in railroad and other in vestments. Among the men who know most of railroad and stock affairs this news was regarded as the continuation of the long-known movement by which the Rockefellers were gaining the control of the keystone of the Van derbilt system. The Wall Street men believe the Rockefellers have outgen- eraled the Vanderbilts. and that the pooling represents way of letting down easily" the family that has so long been identified with the New York Central.

Bijou--''The Smart Set"

The Smart Set" the negro musical comedy, which played at the Bijou Theatre Thursday night. played a re- turn engagement in Montgomery yes- terday at two performances.
 At the matinee, a great audience as- Isembled but at the night performance seats were at a premium. The entire lower floor was crowded with white people and their applause was contin- uous throughout the three hours of en- tertainment.
 The chorus work and the individual voices were perhaps as melodious as anything that has been heard on a Montgomery stage in years and the negro comedy work of s. H. Dudley was appreciated.
