FILES BILL IN EQUITY
Hon. Thomas M. Owen, Director, Now Receives ss25o for Maintenance of the Department-other
 Montgomery News.

Montgomery, September &.-(Special.)- Jesse D. Beale, a citizen of the county of Montgomery, has filed bill in the equity division of the city court of Montgomery county, in V hich he seeks to prevent the Hon. Thomas M. Owen, director of the department of archives and history, from drawing more than $2,5O0 for the main tenance of the department the fact be- ing that he now receives sS.25O Just what interest other than That of a private citizen, MT. Beale has in the matter is not made public.
 The legislature of 19oo-O1 established the department of archives and history and passed oil allowing s1s0o for salary ot the director and $700 for expenses of maintenance. The legislature of 1sO2-03 took up he matter of helping out the work and allowed in the general appro- priations bill $2,5OO additional for mainte- nance. Since that time the director has drawn the s7OO provided for him in the first bill and the $2,5OO in the last meas- ure. his salary remaining, however, at SI,S00 as at first fixed.

FIRE AT BESSEMER
 NARROWLY INVERTED.
Fire Department Prevents Blaze
 in Steiner Building
THE PEOPLE WERE SCARED
Bessemer Plant of United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company May Share In the Pan-
 ana Contract.

Bessemec, September .-(Special.)-But for the prompt work of the fire depart ment and tne presence of mind of several citizens tonight, Bessemer might have had one of the most disastrous fires in it's history. Fire broke out in the Stein CT building tonight and if 1t had gained much headvay it would probably have burned the greater part or the city, as the water supply is very limited at present. Before the blaze made any headway it was extinguished.
 Considerable excitemeh. was aroused among the citizens when the word went out that the Steiner block was on fire. For some time the water supply has been low in the city. Since the new wa terworks system will be completed in the next sixty days no steps have been taken to increase the supply, as it is ann pie for all ordinary purposes and would he sufficient 10 check fire in any other part of the city, except the Steiner build ing. Nearly all of Bessemer had turned out and great was the relief when the blaze was extinguished and the danger had passed. The Steiner building is sev- eral stories high and covers an entire block.
 Work on the new wate-works system is progressing rapidly. Dirt has been broken for the large reservoir on Red mountain, which will havc a capacity of 5,O0O,OOO gallons and it will be pushed rap idly to completion. The water will be pumped into the reservoir from Hawking springs. A 16-inch main will convey the water to this city. When completed Bes- semer will have one of the best water works systems in the south.
 May Share Contract.
 As the United Cast Iron Pipe and Foun- dry company has been awarded the con- tract by the Isthmain Canal commission for the pipe to be used at Colon in con- nection with the construction of the Pan anna canal, it Is probable that the Besse- mer plant of the company will get a share of the contract.
 At present the plant is working be- tween 500 and GOO men and has all the or ders that it can fill. Recently this plant has shipped pipe to Mexico, South Amer ica and several of the large cities in this country It has just finished a large or der for the Bessemer Waterwarks com pany for pipe that will be used in the construction of the new water works sys- tenn.
 The United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company has three plants in the south. They are at Bessemer, Anniston and Chattanooga. Of these the Bessemer plant Is the largest and employs the greatest number of workmen.

Doubt of Authority.

After the action of the legislature in the last case the director conferred with the auditor, the Hon. Thomas L. Sowen, who decided that the department was entitled to the $70O as well as the $2.5OO last appropr ,ated, his idea being that the intention e the legislature was to so provide. Of course. on the warrant of the auditor, the treasurer paid the amounts over. It is also well establish ed that the members of the legislature expected the full measure of the last amount to be an increase. and the board of directors of the department of ar- chives and history took that view of it, and 1t has cn it some of the best law yers of che state. The auditor was so sure of his position that he never refer red the matter to the attorney general for advice.
 The increased appropriation has been used for the hire of help, postage, freight new books and old ones, freight and ex- press and numbers of other calls in the conduct of the department. The books of the department were examined few weeks ago by Assistant Examiner Sed- berry and found to be in every way cor rect,

FAIR DAY, NAY 31S1.
Commercial Club Also Hears Of the Trans
Continental Railway.


| At a meeting of the Commercial
club on Friday evening of last weel
| Col. J. S. Anderson of Beaver Falls
submitted letter from the officers
of the Trans Continental Railway
Co., inquiring into the possibility
of securing assistance for the con.
struction of that line from Kansas
City 10 Duluth, by way of Redwood
Falls and Beaver Falls. Col. An
derson also submitted newspaper
clippings regarding the proposed
road.
The Colonel was quite enthusias.
tic over the proposition, and it was
finally decided to make him the
special correspondent of the club to
consider the matter still further
with the officers of the company,
going on the theory that we we're
willing to assist any legitimate
proposition for north or south
railroad, but placing our stamp of
disapproval on any overture seek
ing to pull either one of our lower
extremities. The light of past ex-
perience has caused conservatism,
and when the company mentioned
above gets track within reason
able distance of Redwood Falls we
can state that we will look upon the
proposition to pass through here
with considerable enthusiasm.
The club decided to take up the
monthly fair day proposition, Tues
day, the 31st day of May, as the oc-
casion for the first 1904 monthly
fair, and G. E. Mckay, f. w. Phil
brick and S. G.. Peterson were APP
pointed a committee to take charge
of the same.
The question OF purchasing ma
jor portion of the outstanding coun-
ty fair association stock was not
considered for the reason that Mr..
Howard, chairman of the special
committee on the reorganization,
ETC., was attending to legal BUSH
ness at Sanborn, and his report was
not ready. There is a varied SEN
timent over the purchase, some of
the commercial men being in favor
of acquiring new property, and
asking such holders of the present
stock as will, to contribute the
same for the purchase of the new
grounds.
