Grading Proceeds Rapidly.

The work done by the engineering and grading forces of the Atlanta, Birming ham and Atlantic road from Bessemer scouthward is attracting attention and the progress made during the past month has been very rapid. The grade is nearly completed between Readers Gap and the point where the line joins the Alabama Great Southern railroad and great ob stacles have been overcome in cutting through the mountain at the Gap. A temporary trestle is being built along Fourteenth street which will be used for filling in the adjacent embankment which will be in some places thirty feet hign.
 At Reeder's Gap the railroad will pass through a cut which will necessitate the removal of many thousands of tons of earth. Steam shovels will be used to com plete this work.
 The old county road from the Thomson town school house will be used for the right of way and the company is now constructing another road to take its place. The bridge over the Cahaba river is now in process of construction, while most of the trestle and culvert work on this section of the line has already been completed. It is believed that the com pany will have this line complete within a year and have trains running, as the greatest engineering difficulties have now been overcome.

Bessemer, April 29.-(Special.)-Th fur nishing committee of the new Carnegie library is much encouraged over the re- suit of the entertainment at the Amphion theatre this afternoon and evening which was well attended and will net a nice sum of money for the library. The pro- gramme of songs and moving pictures was a good one and greatly enjoyed by the large number of persons who showed by their presence their great interest in the institution whose doors will soon be thrown open to the public.
 The ladies who form the furnishing committee of the library announced to- day that the building will be completed this week, but that the furniture has not yet been purchased so that the opening will possibly be delayed until some time next week. All the committees are hard at work trying to get everything in readi- ness and the book committee is particu- larly busy with the object in view of making a creditable showing on opening day.
 With the 800 or GOO volumes from the old library the donation of 15O volumes from the Knights of Pythias lodge and large number contributed by citizens, a nucleus is formed which will make a very good showing. The funds in the hands of the

city for the capture and conviction Of any and all parties interested in the shooting into or dynamiting of Traction company cars, it Is reported that the six teen labor unions of the city will at to- nights meeting offer $25 for the arrest of the violator, increasing the total by $400 or to $2725. The report Is published as a rumor, and is not authentcally given out, though 1t is looked upon as quite probable in view of the eagerness with which these organizations have tried to effect the punishment and con- finement of the misereants
 The city has been notably aroused over the repeated occurrences of such viola tions In the face of all legislation on the subject and in spite of the extraordinary attempts that have been made to incrim mate the guilty parties. The labor or ganizations, no less than the city, the state, the Commercial club, etc., are quite anxious to put stop to the reflection on the fair name of Montgomery, and with this end in view 1t Is thought that the extra rewards will be offered.
 The county board of revenue today of fered a reward of S100 for the arrest and conviction of each person convicted of dy namtlng or shooting Into the street cars of tho Montgomery Traction company.
 The resolution was offered by N. J. Griel, and was passed without opposition. This makes total of $2425 of rewards offered for the arrest and conviction of the person found guilty of these acts.

New School at Hueytown.

Hueytown is to have a new school house to replace the one that was burned several weeks ago. The question of loca- ton of the new building has just been settled by the county board of education after a contest in which two neighbor- hoods took part.
 A number of the patrons of this school wanted the building replaced on the old site, but another faction chose a new site a half mile distant and near Pleasant Ridge church. As the people were divi- ded on the question the matter was re- ferred to the county board and the new site chosen.
 The citizens of the neighborhood have subscribed Sl100 for the new building and will probably raise this to $15O0.

Work has begun widening the side walks on the east side of Fast street from the square to the Southern depot. The pavement of concrete on this side is al ready four feet wide, while the walk on the opposite side as far Coosa street is twelve feet of concrete. North of this section there is a large negro suburb called Knoxville and in going to and from this suberb the negroes invariably use the narrow or four-foot walk on the east side, and it is also the favorite side for white pedestrians, because 1t Is shaded by large oaks In the past there have been frequent collisions between the white and colored users of this walk, the negro women being especially determined not to give an inch of the passage way, and often crowding ladies off the walk when no men were near. For this reason the City Council has determined to widen the walk to six feet, and the workmen have begun there this morning.

On South street the electric wires run through the branches of several tall oaks. The action of the wind has worn off the insulation of some of the wires, and last evening as all the congregations were on their way to church a magnificent oak on the north line of South street gave a pyrotechnic exhibition dazzling to the eye. At times the entire tree was lit up with bright flame, then sparks would fly off fifteen to twenty feet, and then the fluid would seize on the are lamp at the corner and cause that lamp to go through reg ular destruction of Pompeii' exhibition. The telephone people have strung~a wire very near to the electric wire, and par alle to it, at this point without consult- ing any one in authority on the subject, and at intervals the telephone wire would blaze up Finally the electric company notified and turned off the current. Fortunately no one was hurt.
