No Relief as Yet in Sight.
Birmlnsham Concerns Have Trouble In Delivering Regular Business Lack of RarlrOad Facilities
 Drawback to State.

Birmingham. Nov. fS-- Special 1.-The Alabama furnacemen are greatly dis- turbed on account or the railroad car shortage, and the lack of sufficient lo- c0m0tive power to move their business as promptly as desired. The car short age Is a fierce proposition, and there appears to be no relier in sight. The spot market, which could be worked with exceedingly large proht. is almost an impossibffity, as the furnace coua- panies cannot afford to run risk on their regular business.
 There is already too much of delay on business accepted some weeks ago, and efforts are being made to get the railroads to handle the iron sold some weeks ago without attempting the spot business Spot iron is quoted at9ahove SPA per ton. report being current that S2s even has been offered for as much as Ave hundred toms. A prominent iron man fin talking of the condition said: aft makes no difference what the spot iron price may be. there ts no use wor- rying about It as We cannot deliver any of it."
 Reports are current that some furv mace companies in this district are as much as four weeks behind in the de- not SO very extensive. however. and when the year rounds oat there will not be great quantity or iron to be seen on the furnace yards.
 The production In this State shows no improvement to speak of. The raw material supply is uuite proposition. as well as the transportation facilities in the raw mateFial fields. Efforts are being made looking to an improvement in the supplies for furnaces. The or- ganization of a subsidiary corporation by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road to be known as the Potters' Ore Mining Company taking in the proper ties recently purchased by the big cor p0ratlon from Nj. l.. Potter means that every effort win pc expended in getting out more ore and keeping sup- plies well up at the furnaces.

ramIne fn ConI.


 Not only ia there & spot iron market but there Is a spot coal market. Strong prices prevail for fuel. but the pros ducers are simply up in the air, the transportation facilities being so wretched. There are no cars with which to move the coal that can be pro- dueed with every days work in the mines. The demand Is ali right, but the Transportation prevents maximum business.
 we could seel as much again coal as we are now." said a producer. If only we had the cars. There Is de- mand for the Alabama product from all parts of the Southern territory. Reports come in from small towns where manu- featuring enterprises are located and coal is the fuel used, that there is a short supply on hand, and the rail- roads can make no definite statement as to when relieg can be given. It ls believed the cotton movements will soon be over and th8t may provide more cars. But cotton is hardly moved in the cars handling the coal product. It is simply a case where the coal in- dustry has been growing more rapidly than has the addition to the equipment by the railroads

HIS RECORD OUTLINED.
Pinkerton Agency Gives Information
Regarding Samuel Spencer.

Maj. Sylvester has received a message
from William A. Pinserton, superintendent
OF the Pinkerton detective agency, giving
information respecting the Identity of Sam
uel W. Spencer, who Is alleged to have en-
gagged passage to Europe from the local
agents Of two of the steamship companies
and swindled them by giving bogus checks
for amounts larger than the price Of the
passage. as stated in The Star a few days
ago. 1t Is stated that he has operated I'M
der the aliases OF George w. Moore George
B. Lawrence George Whitfield and others
He served one term in the Maryland peni-
Tertiary. the records show, and also shorter
terms in other prisons.
It Is stated that he held a position In the
New York post office and that he left there
in April of last year. saying he was going
to Italy. After his departure from New
York he had his mail addressed In care of
the United States consul at San Reno,
Italy. It is also stated that he posed as an
object of charity In New York last year,
presenting letter which purported to bear
the signature of Right Rev. Mgr. Doane,
the letter stating that the bearer of 1t was
former English minister who had become
Roman Catholic.

conceived and the first attempts toward or
ganization were made Just prior to the civil
war at the University of Michigan by
law student named John NJ. Howard. The
first chapter was flourishing in the year
1869. The object of the society was to pro-
mote good fellowship and foster feeling
of brotherly love among students of the
law and to bring them into closer associa-
ton that they might enjoy the benefits re-
sulting therefrom.
Active chapters are located In the law
schools throughout the country, and the
only persons eligible to active member
ship are students pursuing course or
study in one of these schools. Member
ship In other fraternitfes is In itself no
bar to those desiring to enter Phi Delta
Phi, for the founders realized that the
majority of men who pursue the study of
law do so after they had graduated from
an ordinary college course, during which
time many of them usually identify them
selves with one fraternity or another. By
taking in these students Phi Delta Phi
reaps the benefit of their three or four
years experience in fraternity life. This
is said to be in q great measure re-
sponsible for the success of this fra
ternity. Honorary members are chosen
from the legal profession only and are
men of high standing in their respective
jurisdictions.
The chapters are named for men whose
names have gone down in history as the
most famous lawyers and JuristS OF their
time
The local branch Is known as the John
Marshall Chapter, named after that famous
statesman who, from law student, rose
to the chief justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States.
Charter for Local Chapter.
A charter was granted the local chapter
March IA, 1884. Its organization was due
to the efforts of c. T. Ralston. A. NJ. Gould,
j. S. Rice, W. H. lamar and w. F. War
ner. It was identified with the George
Washington University Law School, then
Columbian University, and only students Of
that institution are eligible to membership
In this chapter under its charter. =,
The chapel has been f1ourshing since its
organization. Next Tuesday 1t will leave
its old quarters in the Docken building and
take up it's residence in new home, 1888
