Ensley, November 8.-( -(speciaL) )--The of- fcial announcement made today that the Southern railway is completing the laying of track on the new grade from Mobile Junction to the lines of the Bessemer- Ens- 1 ley division just this side of Bessemer, and that the company would in the near future operate all their trains over this line, was received with great rejoicing by the people in this city.
 It is announced that the track would be completed and the road opened by the middle of January, and that all the freight on the Mobile divfs-on of the road would operate over the new line at once.
 It is also announced that as soon as the new passenger station to be built at Bir- mingham Is completed all passenger trains 1 on the Mobile division of the Southern railway would be run over the line by 1 Ensley instead of over the Alabama Great Southern from Mobile Junction to Birmingham as at present.
 It Is almost g. certainty that the south- ern will build a. passenger station at this place; in fact, 1t is understood that prop | erty mas already DeeH SecuItu ny tio agents of the company for this purpose.
 This will give Ensley its first through passenger service, and the plan Is hailed with pleasure by the business men who feel that 1t is only the beginning of more and better service by all the lines entering the city.
 All the railway lines entering the dis trict through this city, yet until recently no passenger trains were operated to Ensley The Frisco was the first to break the ice, operating the Messenger Boy into this city morning and night.
