COL. R. 5. SAUNDERS
 DIES IN NASHVILLE
WELL KNOWN SOUTHERN NEWS PAPER MAN SUCCUMBS TO APO- PLExY AND PARAIYSIS-HE LEAVES DAUGHTER.

News of the death of Col Ralph S. Saunders. which occurred yesterday aft ernoon at 2 clock at Dr. Eyes infirmary in Nashville, reached Birmingham yester- day evening. The supposed cause of the death of Colonel Saunders was apoplexy, although the physicians attending were unable to decide positively.
 About ten days ago Colonel Saunders went to Nashville to visit friends there, and while leaving the train he was in come manner thrown to the ground and it is supposed that this fall was the pri- mary cause of his death. He was stricken either with paralysis apoplexy and although he lived for more than week there was little hope for his recovery. He passed away in the infirmary at Nashville yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
 Colonel Saunders was, during the greater portion of his life associated with southern newspapers. He has many friends in Birmingham. having been as- sociated with the old Birmingham Herald and later with the News in their early days. He came to Birmingham in the spring of 1887 and lived here for six years.
 Since leaving Birmingham Colonel Saun- ders has been connected with q number of newspapers. During the last few years he has not been very actively en- gagged in newspaper work but had charge of the agricultural column of the Mem phls News-Scimitar during the past sum mer.
 The death of Colonel Saunders comes as great shock. At the time he was stricken he was apparently in the best of health. after having spent the summer in the mountains of Tennessee. His home was in Athens, Ala. The deceased was the father of Mrs. J. w. Clay of Blr- mingham.
 Funeral arrangements had not been made last night.

GOES TO NASHVILLE
 FOR ATTRACTION
Secretary Barnes Has Some Good Things In Prospect for Alabama
 State Fair.

Maager George T. Barnes of the Ala bama state fair has gone to Nashville, where he will visit the Tennessee state fair and get lIne on additional attrae- tions and features for the Birmingham ex- position. Capt. J. B. Morson of the rac- ing department of the Alabama fair is also in Nashville and will return with Mir. Barnes Sunday night.
 The fair management is losing no op- portunity to make the Birmingham show the biggest and best ever held in this sec ton of the south. In addition to the numerous features already announced there are one or two surprises on tap features which are pending and which have not been finally closed up. It has been the strict policy of the managemene 10 adhere firmly to facts, and nothing has been announced or will be announced except in those cases where arrange ments have been formally signed
 The decoration of the main building of the fair will be begun in the next few days. A well-known decorator has been engaged to supervise the work, and it is likely that night and day shifts will be used in carrying out the scheme. Thou sands of yards of bunting and hundreds of flags will be used to give the buildings a festive appearance.

 Rogers. Brown X Co., Cincinnati re- port for the current week follows: Nothing of importance transpired dur ing the past week, and there is very it. tle change in the situation. From d fur mace viewpoint the most encouraging feature is the iusistent demand of custom CTS for delivery of iron due on contracts. and the very quick shipment wanted on new orders. This indicates that those i who have not covered waited until the very last minute before placing orders. that consumption is keeping up well and that even the consumers may have adopt- ed waiting policy regarding purchases Tor future delivery, their business is not falling off
 several concerns who depend largely on the railroads for orders tell us they are working to their capacity and turning business AWAY It is generally conceded that consumers have only q small stock ot Iron on hand, while it is well known that furnaces continue to ship their out put as Fast as it is produced. The de- mand is good for the higher grades for nearby shipment, and several good-sized inquiries are out for basic and charcoal iron. Most furnaces are well sold up for the balance of the year. and they show no disposition to shade prices for next years delivery.
 Coke continues strong. and there Is some complaint of the failure of ovens to make shipment at the contract rate. Op- orators in certain districts are already experiencing trouble in securing cars, ard all arc severely handicapped by lack of labor There Is some inquiry for furnace coke for delivery during the first half and all of next year.

It Is Understood Terminal Company Wishes to Put Construction Work In the Hands of Archi-
 tect Marye.

There is disagreement between the Rir- mlngham Terminal company and the con iraetng firm of Oliver Sollitt company of Chicago, which is constructing the new Terminal station on Fifth avenue and iwenty-siXth street. and while the matter has not fully developed, there is hardl,y ooubt but that a legal controversy will be the means of final adjustment
 It was learned positively from w. T. Ward, of the firm of Ward X Ward, at torneys for the Oliver -Sollitt company. that the origin of the present trouble dates back to September 13, on which day he ayers the Birmingham Terminal com pany served notice on the eontractinc company that the contract between the two would be terminated September gi.
 While President G. B. Mccormack of the Birmingham Terminal company. had little to say when a representative of The Age-Herald called on him yesterday aft ernoon, according to report. the desire to bring the contract to a close was based on the allegation that sufficient progres. towards the completion of the new sta ton was not being made. Mir McCor- mack stated that there were differences between the company and the contracting firm as 10 certain conditions of the con- tract but the specific points of difference he did not point out

There is strong prob ability that the demand for these tickets this year will exceed the capacity of the High school auditorium. It is there fore, urgent that those who enjoyed last seasons programme provide themselves with tickets as early as practicable.
 The authorities of the Street Railway company have signified their intention to run several special cars on the evening of these entertainments from First ave nue and Twentieth street to the High school building These cars will be marked special and will make the loop on Seventh avenue by the High school auditorium. Special cars will also be run on the even ing of the entertainments on the High land avenue, South Twentieth and Eleventh avenue lines direct to the High school. At the close of each entertain nnent provisions will be made for ample street car facilities, going directly from the High school auditorium of different sections of the city.

Birmingham seems to have had her financial stool kicked from under her, and until a decision is reached by the supreme court, the magic city of the south will be as poor as a beggar girl
 Improvement bonds, and in fact, the city's credit is in a bad way. No matter whether the mayor be chairman of the council and the old organization be forced back; no matter whether Parker be chair man, and the new code still be the law; no matter whether all factions peaceably agree to get along together under either form, nobody will pay a big debt, or loan the city big sum of money until the council finds where it is at,''
