Furnaces to Blow In.

It is understood from good authority that furnaces No. 1 and No. ?, known as the DeBardeleben furnaces are now ready for operation and will be fired up at once. It is stated that the torch will be applied to No. 1 on Friday, while No. will be fired up a few days later.
 These stacks were blown out in Janu- ary to be refined and repaired. At that time 1t was expected that skip hoists would also be installed, but the demand for pig iron became so imperative that they will not wait for this improvement, but will resume work as soon as the &C., tually necessary repairs were made, which are now about complete.
 '-tnl,es forces employed at these furnaces are large, and their trade is an important factor in the business of Bessemer.

BABY SHOW BIG SUCCESS

Bessemer, May S.-(Specal.)-Th publi- Birmingham and Atlantic railroad will follow in this city and their application for a franchise to cross the intervening streets and avenues has aroused much interest in this city and little could be heard on the streets today save talk of the new railroad
 Since the route in the city has been settled, speculation is rife as to other plans of the new company. It is believed here that this road will erect its shops here, and make Bessemer it's principal terminal for this district. This belief is greatly strengthened by it's recent pur- chase of tract of 16O acres of land at Hueytown, which is about two and one half miles from Bessemer, the tract being on the supposed route of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic from Bessemer to Ensley and Birmingham
 At the council meeting Tuesday night Alderman Lewis asked MT. Berry, land agent for the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, where his road expected to To- cate it's station, and he replied that it will be close to Nineteenth street Since the plans provide for trestle over large portion of the route from Fairfax avenue, extending over the tracks of the Alabama Great Southern railway, and the tracks will gradually descend from that point, reaching grade only few yards from Nineteenth street, 1t is thought the passenger station will be located no far ther south than Twentieth or Twenty-first street. and between First and Alabama avenues.
 The new roads has many friends in Bessemer and is assured of large bus
 mess here from the day 1t is opened for traffic.

NEW SUBMARINE DESTROYER.

A new naval terror IN the shape OF
submarine destroyer has just been
invented by Lewis Nixon. a graduate
of Annapolis and former naval officer,
then shipbuilder, and now an official
of the Carbon Steel works of Pitts
burg, Pa, says writer in tie Tech
Gical World Magazine. The essen
tials of the new terror of the seas
are being kept secret until certain
patent rights have been granted by
different countries. 1t is known.
however. that the destroyer Of sub
marines, as planned by Mr.. Nixon, IS
scarcely larger than a first-class sub
marine. 1t is much lighter, for the
reason that 1t must be capaU.e OF be-
ing hoisted on shipboard by davits. It

death-dealing submarine. II is ad
mitted that the submarine has to
keep within twelve or fourteen feet
Of the surface to be OF any danger to
the enemy, and 1t will be an easy
mark for the destroyer shooting in
its wake directly verhead. 1t is
claimed that the new destroyer can
hit the mark $50 feet below the sur

could possibly sink with security

Obstacles to Trade.

Addressing commercial body IN
the east recently John Barrett said
that language ignorance is one of the
most serious obstacles to the exteu-
sion of our trade with South America.
Others have made like statement.
Manufacturers and merchants send
commercial travellers to the southern
countries who can not speak the lang
uage there, end, Of course, they are
at a great disadvantage. The rep
resentatives in the South American
markets of British and German mann-
facturers and merchants are able 20
conduct their business in the Ian
guage spoken in those markets, ana
consequently they get most OF the
trade.
Selling goods in Brazil or Argen
tina is neither holiday nor a junket.
and it is especially hard work for the
man who is handicapped by a lack %
knowledge of the language.
OF course this obstacle will be over
come in time. There are others
which must also be overcome before
we shall sell our share or the South
American trade. One of these rs
the fact that our manufacturers 10
not give sufficient attentionto the Pc
culiar wants and requirements Of the
people Of the southern countries.
There is distinctly evident an in.
creasing interest in the trade of the
countries south Of us, and there can

as important that our breeding swine
should have a balanced ration as
our dairy cows.
So often we hear farmers com
planning that their hogs are getting
too fine, TOO small, lack constitution
and vitality and are not prolific
enough. This Ia due to two causes,
first, they have not the right kind of
breeding stock, and second, they do
not care for and feed them properly

The ration for our brood sowB the

Unfinished Game Will Be Completed at Next Meeting of Teams
 Notes About the Game.

The managers of the City Amateur league held their egular meeting last evening and among other things made out the schedule for next Sunday. It will be as follows: 12:30, Washing ton Hills and the Merrimacs; 2:15, Brooklyns and St Joseph's; 4 o'clock, Pastimes and the North Ends. The unfinished game between the North Ends and the St Joseph's, in which a half inning is to be played out. will be contested on the next time the two teams meet. This inning will be played before the regularly sched- luled game. The first financial re- port of the secretary was read and was very acceptable to the umpires relative to using diplomacy in enforc- ing the rules and also in connection with the hours scheduled for each game and other matters that may come under their supervision. It was also decided that boys who get into the grand stand by paying or otherwise must remain in their seats the same as the rest of the people and If they persist in running across the stand in the rear they will be elected from the stand.
