Railroad Demands an Accounting.

Proceedings were brought in the chan cery court yesterday by the South and North Alabama Railroad company seek ing to compel the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad company to make full and complete accounting of all transac- tions between the two roads for the past thirty years. The South and North Ala bama railroad is that division of the Louisville and Nashville extending from Decatur to Montgomery.
 It Is alleged in the bill of complaint that the Louisville and Nashville Rail road company on May 19, 1S7l agreed to complete the South and North Alabama railroad to operate the road for cost and to make an accounting for the same. It Is alleged that annual accounts have been made which showed the cost of oper- ating and the receipts and disbursements. It is declared in the petition that the stockholders made annual investigation of such accounts furnished them and did not discover anything in said report incorrect
 It is alleged further than in February, 1895, a letter was received from Henry E. Gray, one of the directors, which let was to the effect that a full and com plete investigation of the indebtedness due the complainant by the respondent, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany would show the value of each share of the South and North Alabama Rail- road company stock to be in excess of 5000. It is alleged further than infor- nation was given in this letter further that a full. accounting had never been rem dered by the respondent. The letter from MT. Gray is alleged to have contained a demand that the officers and directors of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company make a true statement. It Is further setforth in a reply to this the respondent made the statement that a full accounting had been rendered annu- ally and that nothing was due the com plainant
 Excessive charges for the equipment is alleged. The prayer of the petitioner is that the respondent be compelled by the court to produce the books of the com- pany showing all settlements and ac- counts between the two companies since the agreement was entered into.

Certain Relief

The secret lay in a wonderful chemical I found in Germany. When I found this chemical I knew that I could make Rheumatic cure that would be practi- cally certain. Dut even then. before made an announcement-before I was willing to put my name on it.-I made naore than 20O0 tests! And my failures were but 2 per cent
 This German chemical is not the only ingredient I use in Dr. Shoop's Rheuma- tic Cure-but it made the remedy pos sible-made possible an achievement which, I doubt not, could have been made in no other way.
 This chemical was very expensive. The duty, too, was high. In all its cost me s4.90 per pound. But what is s490 per pound for a real remedy for the worlds most painful disease?-for a real relief from the greatest torture human beings know?
 l don't mean that Dr. Shoop's Rheuma- tic Cure can turn bony joints into flesh again-that Is impossible. But it will driys from the blood the poison that causes pain and swelling. and then that is the end of the pain and swelling-the end of the suffering-the end of Rheumatism. Tkat is why I can afford to make this liberal offer-that is why I can afford to spend the FIRST dollar that Rheumatic sufferers, the world over, may learn of my remedy

 If the Louisville and Nashville has taken such action the circular announce ing it has not reached the Birmingham offices. If this be true It will hit a num- Der of men in this state. county and city who have hitherto received favor at the hands of the railroad.
 The Alabama Great Southern, which is leased by the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific, is being ballasted with slag For the past eighteen months the lessee company has been hauling slag to ballast that property. This makes thus far STA. 100000 pounds of slag that has been placed thus far on that property. Railroad managers realize that one of the most important things for road is drainage, and slag has been demonstrated to exceed rock in this particular.

all of it running 81 or over. Such
