STATUS OF WORK
 ON DOUBLE TRACK

While the original project of the Louisville and Nashville railroad to double track from the northern to the southern line of Alabama has been abandoned, according to the under standing of the local attaches of the road, the work on building a double track from Birmingham to Calera is being actively pushed. The line is double tracked already from Birming- nam to OXmoor, and from Hardyville to Calera. Between Oxmoor and liar dyville, fifteen miles intervene.
 Right now, the engineers are stopped by fill, considered one of the largest in the country It is estimated that to fill the place will require 250,00O cubic yards of dirt. The largest fill at present on the Louisville and Nash vile line is near this gigantic one, and required only 150,0 ,000 cubic yards of dirt. It was impossible to get an esti- mate as to when the double track from Birmingham to Calera will be com pleted.
 B. M. Stark general manager of the Louisville and Nashville, with head quarters in Louisville, spent yester- day in Birmingham but made no state ment concerning this matter He has recently gone over the entire line from Louisville south, and Is now re- turning home.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad has at last accomplished the moving of the three-story brick building on Twentieth street. This building was moved twenty-s-~en feet north and forty feet back from the street. The feat was considered quite an engineer ing triumph.
 1t was learned yesterday that the passenger trains of the Louisville and Nashville will no longer enter the sta tion by means of the Twentieth street crossing. >This crossngdwill hereafter be used for the placing of cars con taining perishable freight.
 The passenger trains, according to the present plan, will enter tne shed over a new track to be erected diago- nally from the freight house on Twen- tieth street to the present line. Work on the new track will be commenced immediately.

WEIGHT BREAKS UP PAVEMENTs.
Took Twenty-eight Horses to Draw Forty
two-Ton Armature Through Streets.

Twenty-eight powerful horses drawing forty
two-ton armature through the streets attracted
much attention last night. It one of the heav-
les loads ever moved here In that way. and II
was only by skilful work that the job was COM
pleted successfully.
The armature being moved from the East
seth street power house of the Edison Company of
New York to its main power plant. at Duane and
Lafayette streets. The start made o'clock
and 1t was early this morning before the trip
completed.
The goose neck truck which the heavy
of steel and wire rested in specially constructed
cradle got stuck in turning from East Goth street
into Madison avenue. The S-nCh tires of the
Wheels sank into the asphalt. and IT was fifteen
minutes before II could be budged. Going down
the hill from 37th to 33d street eleven of the
teams were hitched behind the truck to prevent
its becoming unmanageable. While the change in
teams being made the truck got stuck in the
asphalt again and could not be moved until the
hind wheels had been lacked up.
The truck turned from Madison avenue into
24th street then into Fourth avenue, and continued
down this street and Lafayette street to the
power house. Another large armature will be
moved from there TO the East seth street power
house tonight. The work is being done by the
Howes Transportation and Construction Company,
Of East 10Th street.
