OPENING OF NEW PARK
BEAUTIFUL RESORT IS VISITED BH
 THOUSANDS.
BIoemfontaine Transferred Into Elecs tric Park With Handsome Build ings and Pleasure G'laces is
 Visited Fly Public.

The opening yesterday of Electric Park, Montgomery's new pleasure req | sort, was a notable event. All day and until far into the night the cars
 of the Montgomery Street Railway were busy carrying passengers to and from the resort.
 It was estimated by the management of the Park that 12,000 persons visit- ed the place during the day and B. | 900 during the night. Among the day visitors were many people from the towns and country surrounding the city who came to witness the opening of Montgomery's new attraction. Many of the features of the park were in operation yesterday and more are expected to begin in few days. From the heights of the "Toboggan Slide" last night came the shouts of | the coasters, the wooden animals of the merry-go-round continuously made their cigcular journey with scores of children on their backs, the miniature railroad was crowded with passengers while boats and launches filled with other pleasure-seekers cleft the quiet waters of the lake. The whole place is brilliantly il- luminated with thousands of electric lights. =
 The banks of the lake are hardly recognizable by those who knew the place as Bloemfontaine. The trans- formation has been remarkable. This transformation has been described by Manager William Sharp who said We found wilderness and we transforms ed 1t into a paradise" He was not SO far wide of the truth in his enthusiasts tic comment upon what had been done at Electric Park.
 The color scheme of the whole is green and white with brilliant gliding as a relief here and there. This color scheme gives a most refreshing and in- viting appearance. Around and about the whole are stately hills clothed kn pine and oak.
 The buildings of Electric Park are built in about circle. The center of this circle is a snowy white band stand band stand will be a beautiful flower garden as soon as the flowers have a chance to grow.
 The car line touches the southern rim of the circle. The car station is as yet unfinished. A force of hands is at work upon it with hammer and saw. Its outlines already indicate that fors a car station 1t will be an impos- ing structure.
 The park will be run under the man. agement that made Ponce De Leon in Atlanta so popular. No Objectionable characters will be allowed on the grounds and negroes will be permitted only as servants.
 A large force of hands will continue at work until the finishing touches have been put upon the numerous buildings.

BOTH SIDES SATISFIED
OPERATORS AND STRIKERS EX-
 PRESS CONFIDENCE.
If the Men Do Not Soon Return tC Work, Owners Say They Will
 Import Foreign Labor.

Birmingham, Sept. 10.-(Special)-- Both the operators and union miners claim today that the strike situation remains unchanged. A prominent ope- rator gave out the information today that a little while longer will be giv- en the union miners to return to their old places in the mines and if this was not done then non-union men would be brought to the district by the train load. He stated that advices had been received from West Virginia to the eff feet that 27,000 mine workers who do not belong to unions were employed in that State and that four or five thous- and could be brought to Alabama to take up work in the mines at less than the price offered by the Ala bama operators.
 United States deputy marshals to- day received the writ for the men who are charged with violating the injunc- tion issued by the federal court, one of them in particular being the union miner, Burrell. who is alleged to be the man who assaulted Superintendent T. J. Smith at Brookside during this week.
 Prsident Edward Flynn, of the min CTS organization. today stated that there was a few men being brought into the district every day and a few are leaving every day. He denies pos itively that he violated any of the terms of injunction issued by the fed eral court when he attended a mass meeting and delivered an address day before yesterday at Gintown, near Blossburg, near vicinity to the works of the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company.
 President J. c. Maben. of the sloss- Sheffield Steel Company, today an- nounced that eighty eight coke ovens at New Found and fifty at Blossburg were being operated with coal mined at those places. It is learned on good authority that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company is getting out twenty rallroad cars of coal a day from its Blue Creek mines, while three or four car loads of coal only are be- ing mined at Blocton. The Republic Iron and Steel Company is getting about one-ffth it's usual output at Warner Mines. The operators reite- rate that they will fight the union to the finish. never more recognizing the organization.
 Wild Animal Frightens Operator.
 The telegraph operator for the Louis- vile and Nashville Railroad at Black Creek station, an office on the line four miles from Boyles where the Cane Creek branch leaves the main line, has reported to the chief dispatcher in Birmingham that a wild animal Is troubling the people in that vicinity at night and that he (the operator) Is beginning to have fears of remaining in the office alone at nights. The foot prints of the animal, according to the statements made, are like those of a panther Farmers have made efforts to get q shot at the animal, but in vain Special officers of the railroad have been spending the last two nights around the station at Black Creek hop ing to see the animal. Unless the anil mai is killed or chased away the ope- rator says he will have to resign his position.
