Attorneys for the Southern HALLWAY company have filed condemnation pro- eeedings in the name of the old Mo- bile and Birmingham Railroad. now 8 part of the Southern system, for crossing on Commerce Street to the river front, south of Beauregard Street to the new pier and warehouse which was constructed several months ago for the Mallory Steamship Line, It is necessary for the Southern to cross the main line Of the Louisville and Nash ville on Commerce Street. Some time ago the Louisville and Nashville se- cured an injunction against the south ern crossing their tracks, and the con- demnatidh proceedings are to compel the former road to allow the crossing to be put in The attorneys for both roads argued the case today before Judge Price Williams. Jr.. and 1t is ex- pected that he will render an early de- cision. This new pier has never been used by the Southern Railroad, and the company claims that 1t has resulted In big loss to them. The outcome of the case will be watched with interest.

 Many Improvements are being madt Dy me Mobile Light and Railway Com. pahy Tn the street car lines of the CuIt | City: At the present time, the energies or the company are all being directed toward the completion of the double tracking of the line between Toulmin- Vile and Whistler. in order to permit or better service from the latter suburb to the city.
 But this is not the only improvement that Is contemplated, say the officials or the company. and President Wilson Of the company Is authority for the statement that as soon as this work is completed. the line on South Royal Street is to be double-tracked Tn con nection with the work of doubie-track- ing the lower Royal Street line, the an- nouncement Is made that the line is to be extended some 4,O00 feet from it's present terminus at Augusta Street to Maryland Street. This extension Is de- signed to enable the residents of the city in the vicinity of Choctaw Point, at the mouth of the river, to have the advantages of street car service
 Another improvement that Is in sight is the laying of a single track line on Scott Street, to serve as a loop for the Charleston and Wilkinson lines, there by relieving the present congestion of cars on the streets traversed by those lines, and permitting of better service to the people of the districts served by those lines.
 Six large double-truck cars have re- gently been received by the company from St. Louis, and will be placed in commission on the lines with the heav- fest steel, which will permit of the heavier equipment being used there. These are the lines to Whistler and Spring Hill.
 Six smaller cars. of the single-tru style, have been shipped from St. Louis. also, but have not yet been received. They will be added to the equipment in use on those thoroughfares where the weight of the steel is not sufficient for the heavier cars. but where the traffic in the past has been too heavy for the equipment heretofore in use.

MoDlle, Dec. 12. A sensation was sprung at the month- ly session of the School Board. which was held this noon, when MT. Holt, who has recently been made one of the School Commissioners, started in ito de- nounce deal by which, he claimed, the son of one of the members of the Board had been. permitted to realize & small fortune from land of which he acquired the use from the School Board at nominal fee.
 MT. Holt was making things lively with his statements. when he was choked of with parliamentary ob- Jection, 1t being stated in connection with the questions raised by Mir. Holt would be considered further in execu- tive session. at another time
 Il apears that in the past the School Board has sleased q piece of ground to one Fred Vigor, for an annual rental Of several hundred dollars The pro- ceeding was all regular on It's face. but in some manner Mir Holt's suspicious were aroused
 It is not known whether it was the Tact that Fred Vlgor is the son of School Commissioner yigor, or wheth- CT It was the large profits derived from 1he apparently insignificant tract that first attracted his attention. But how ever that may be. the fact remains that Commissioner Holt went right after the Commissioners.
 Before his remarks on the subject had been shut off. MT. Holt had man aged to give out the information. which he said came to him from a reliable source, that the piece of land that is rented to the son of Commissioner TOT few hundred dollars. nets the lessee something like s30.0O0 per an- mum He thought the figures were too little associated with each other to look good. and was apparently starting Tn to have the lease abrogated. with out further barley, when he was stoppe,i by the temporary disposal Of the sub Ject to further action.

Following an irregular opening and subse-

market relapsed into dulness and in the last
hour developed positive weakness with the
issues which had led last weeks advance natu-

was given yesterday than on Saturday TO the
