ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Old Homestead"

"The Old Homestead" ever old and ever new, will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and to- night, and with 1t is the ever popular Uncle Josh, whose joys and sorrows, failures and successes. so invariably in- terest an audience and arouse it's sym pathies. The Cincinnati Commercial-Tri- bune says:
 Eliminating all of the pleasing features of song, the grand choral effects, with organ accompaniment, in the third act, and the other interesting and unusual embellishments so heartily enjoyed by yesterdays audiences at the Walnut, and Denman Thompson's famous old New England idyl, 'The6 Old Homestead" would still be one of the most com polling and thoroughly enjoyable, as it has been one of the best enduring plays of the modern American theatre

James o'NeiII In "Monte cristo."

There are perhaps three or four actors in the history of the American stage whose names will always be indelibly associated with the characters they have made famous-Booth as Hamlet Mary Anderson as Juliet, Joseph Jefferson as Rip Van Wrinkle, Denman Thompson as Uncle Josh, and James O'Neill as Monte Cristo. When Mr ONeill presents Monte Cristo" at the Jefferson theatre Monday night 1t will very probably be for the last time he will ever be seen as Edmond Dantes, for he contemplates shelving Monte Cristo' after this sea- son. The seat sale is now on at the Jefferson box office.

SELMA WILL HAVE
 ELECTRIC POWER Movement on Foot to Erect Plant on Big Mulberry NEW ROAD IS PROPOSED Selma Is Eiated Over Prospect of an Air Line Railroad From Atlanta
 to New Orleans.
 Other News.
NEW ROAD IS PROPOSED

Selma, March. 15.-(Special IA contract has been entered into or is pending by which Selma, when it's purposes are com- pleted, is 10 secure cheap electricity and an abundance of it.
 The particulars are not yet given out to the public, but MT. Taylor of Au- tauga county, formerly member of the police force of Montgomery, but now the owner of a tract of land along Big Null berry creek, spent yesterday in Selma in consultation with Col F. M. Abbott, and it is stated that a contract has been entered into by which the creek is to be utilized for furnishing water power to generate electricity for Selma. The leg islature recently passed a bill under the provisions of which such can be lawfully done It is more than probable that with in a short time Big Mulberry or perhaps Big Oakmulgee creek will be furnishing the motive power for many industries in Selma
 Electricity furnished by water power is the cheapest motive power yet devised. Once it is established in city, that town thrives, and by leaps and bounds makes advancement ana progress
 It is understood that when the power is secured the Selma Street and Subur- ban railway will extend it's lines into Au- tauga county, and perhaps towards Sum merfield and Marion. Should the lines be extended towards Prattvlle, they would eventually land In Montgomery and the capital city of the state and Selma would m hound Inv an al possibilities are almost too great to be more than dreamed of at present.
 Air Line to New Orleans.
 The Atlanta and Alabama Air Line Is nearer becoming reality today than per haps ever in the history of that once ill., fated enterprise.
 It has been known for some time that the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad was seeking to secure an air line to New Orleans through Selma. The line is now being run in the vicinity of Tal- ladega being an extension of line from LaGrange, Ga., through Roanoke in Ran dolph county to Talladega, thence to Bir- mingham.
 The old Atlanta Air Line survey passed through Roanoke and it is possible the in tention is to join the line through Selma to New Orleans at that point.
 Thursday afternoon just before the heavy rain came up a surveying party of twelve engineers reached the vicinity of the race track. They had come into the Range Line road at the point where the old negro's house Is built into the red hill about two miles out. The surveyors are being sent out by the A. B. and A. rail- road and their camp up to a day or so ago was about six miles from Evansville, just over the Autauga county line.
 If the recent legislature has not fright ened railroads from the state, there is q strong possibility that within a reason- able time Selmians will see the Atlanta Air Line in Selma and fast being com pleted to New Orleans, and then at last this city will be on truck line that will be compelled 10 run every first class equipment, including Pullman service in and out of Selma.
