Talladega to Pelham, a distance of about
IS miles. Every class and kind of outfit
usually employed in railroad construction
will be required. Scrapers and rock and
concrete outfits will be especially in de-
mand, and 1t is estimated that the work
will require something like year to
complete
The firm of C. d. Smith & Co, has
about completed a portion of the con-
struction of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantie-that lying between LAGRANGE
and Montezuma. 1t also has about 40 miles
of the construction of the Illinois Central
between Haleyville Ala, and Corinth,
Miss. which is little over half of that
line. The company also has 30 miles of
team. steam and shovel work in Indiana
for the Illinois Central
Work on the line from Talladega to
Pelham will be commenced within the
next two weeks and the company will
shortly advertise for contracts from the
sub-contractors.
A direct line from Talladega to Pei
ham is not more than two-thirds of the
length of the proposed line. After crossing
the Coosa river the line bends north sew
eral miles in order to go through the
narrows, a gap in the mountains, which
will prevent the necessity of construct
ing several tunnels Three or four long
tunnels are avoided by the roundabout
route which has been selected.

Al carriers. After paying the salaries of
these and other local expenses, the Of
flee yielded a surplus revenue of So. 4s6. As,
slightly less than for the preceding quar-
ter. This falling off is attributed to the
exodus of people from the city during
the summer months.
In addition to its own employees the
Birmingham postoffice pays the salaries
of III rural free delivery carriers in Ala
bama and IS railway mail clerks, so that
it is necessary for the government to
supply large sum every quarter to sup
plement the receipts of the local office
Twelve new clerks have been allowed
by the authorities in addition to the
present office force. six being taken OH
at the beginning of this month and the
remainder to go to work October I. Appli-
cation has also been made for seven more
carriers and 1t is expected that the re-
quest will be granted although nothing
definite has been heard from Washington

ADJUSTMENTS.

Brindamour will tonight escape from
Jacket suspended in mid air. This is a
feat which he says has never been at
tempted by anyone else and he declares
that he is the only one who has ever ac-
complished II. 1t will be a feature to
the bill which will probably serve to draw
a large crowd All the people who have
seen Brindamour in his other acts this
week will probably go to the theatre to
see him in this new stunt tonight,
The "handcuff king has escaped from
all the manaeles and handouts brought
to the Bijou so far this week, b. A. Pep
perman, secretary to the Mayor, tried a
pet pair of handouts on Brindamour last
night, but the latter escaped from them
with ease, Others have tried to get
pair that would hold him and failed.
How he does 1t is a mystery that no one
has ever been able to solve.
All the other acts on the bill this week
are replete with either comedy. song or
dancing and sometimes all three. Aldo
and Amour open the bill with some clever
work on the horizontal bars, intersp@sed
with comedy Eddie Glrard affords I'M
limited amusement while on the stage.
and Jessie Gardner. his partner, sings
some songs for which she has an excel
lent voice.
The three Cartmells furnish song, COM
edy and dancing, the little woman in the
company being particularly clever in her
dancing speciality. Wills and Morris, the
two girls who have a black face min
strel act, also have an abundance of sing
ing. dancing and comedy, well balanced
and put together in an attractive style.
The cameragraph concludes the pro-
gramme with two unusual pictures, one
of which is a straw ride in winter with
snow on the ground.
