ALABAMA PASSES
 HIGH WATER MARK
ATTENDANCE GREATER THAN IN 1864, AND THEREFORE LARGEST IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The attendance at the University of Alabama this season Is the largest in the history of the institution. Prior io this year the largest attendance was eh- rolled in the fall of 1884. when yoanS men from all over the state were rushed to the institution to be prepared for mfh- tary service in the Confederate army. inc attendance that year was 3il.
 "Thursday at noon," stated President John W. Abercrombie, last night, 'tile attendance was 36l. It is probable fiat others were enrolled Friday. II Is 10 'a seen that this years attendance at the university proper is at least twenty n excess of the hitherto greatest-in ls5i.
 Barracks is overrun. More than - young men arc homed in sixty-six rooms, there being from three to four m each room The start Is excellent and in Nsew of the fact that the greater university $ about to be realized, there is not a par- tlele of doubt but that right now the unl- versity is in it's most prosperous season. The esprit de corps is fine, and eYery pupil seems imbued with the idea or in- proving the establishment, and upbuildink 1t to still greater things"

BIG MASS MEETING WILL BE HELD AT THE JEFFERSON THE ATRE TOMORROW FOR MEN. LOCAL SPEAKERS ON LIST.

The next big mass meeting of the pro- hibition forces will be held Sunday aft ernoon at 3:3O o'clock in the Jefferson theatre, and Judge W. A. Covington of Moultne, Ga, will make the address. Judge Covlngton, one of the great pro- hibition fighters in the south, was sub stituted in the place of seaborn Wright who is on the sick list
 Judge Covngton introduced the state prohibition bill in the house of represen- tatives of Georgia, by which saloons were swept from that state, and he was also joint author of the bill.
 The meeting will be for men only, since the theatre would not hold the women who might attend. Chairman Walter l.. Sessions will preside and number of prominent local citizens will speak.
 Tais will probably be the greatest mass meeting yet held. Judge Covington has the reputation of being the strongest prohibition speaker in the whole south, a man of excellent delivery, and strong magnetism.

CITY COUNC/I, LEGAII1
 HAS EIGHTEEN MEMBERS

II. C. Seheimer, prominent attorney and constitutional lawyer, who has been consulted by the majority aldermen of the City Council, after completing a close study of all the law involved in the council mixup, has come to the conclusion that the body is perfectly le- gally organized.
 He stated yesterday, on being asked his opinion of the point brought up by Alder man Harry Jones at the last meeting that there is no foundation for it. MT. Jones, it will be remembered, claimed that under section 1s9, and under the ac- ton of the council when it adopted the municipal code that there are but nine legal aldermen, and those the last nine elected.
 MT. Selheimer says that the first ordi- nance passed No. ST, provided that the municipal code be adopted, but not eff

JONES CORRECT
 IN HIS CONTENTION
ALDERMAN FINDS THAT BELT
 LINE WAS PREVIOUSLY RE- CURED TO PAY A FEE OF $5ooo FOR LAYING CERTAIN TRACKS.

A very interesting point over which Aldermen Jones and O'Neill strongly diff fered, and had a heated tilt about in the City Council meeting last Wednes- day, on investigation, proves to be set tied in favor of Alderman Jones.
 Alderman Hogan introduced an ordi- nance granting a franchise to the B1r- minsham Belt railroad to build certain tracks in the city limits on the pay 1nent of 5000.
 > Alderman Jones claimed that at pre- vious meeting the council had set the fee at s5OOO O'Neill insisted that it was set at 5000.
 ..Ill set 'em up to cigars if I am not right" said MT. Jones.
 'Oh. I know what I'm talking about and I don't want any of Mir. Jones cheap cigarsl replied O'Neill.
 Yesterday MT. Jones went to City Clerk aIurray's office, and found this in the minutes:
 November 1, 19O5.-Alderman Fulghum made the following report for the joint committee of the judiciary and railroad committee and the same was adopted: with reference to the petition of the Bir- mingham Belt railroad for franchise near Fifth avenue and Thirteenth street, the committee recommends that the same be granted upon the payment of s5oOO' the work to be done under the supervision of the city engineer and the contract to be drawn by the city engineer and city attorney
 Ayes: The Mayor, Aldermen ONeill' I<lotz, Barbour Copeland, J. R., Cooper, FulGhum, Heidt, Gray, Jones and Stock ma. Nays: None"
 IL is claimed that this will not be set Rside by the ordinance reducing the fee to S2Ooo. and that the Belt railroad will have to pay the amount at first set.

fective until the present official terms expired. and that the old aldermanic system be retained.
 He points out that the second ordi- nance, No. 91, introduced by MT. Par ker, provided that the municipal code organization go into effect at once, and specified that "all ordinances, and parts of ordinances in conflict be repealed"
 In my opinion there was conflict be- tween that part of the first ordinance which delayed the adoption, and the part of the second ordinance which adopted the code immediately, therefore it was repealed. But there was no con fict between the first and second ordi- nances so far as that section is com cerned which adopted the old system of aldermen, therefore that part of ordi- nance No. ST stands, and there are eighteen legal aldermen of Birmingham.

IRON MARKET HAS
 MUCH BETTER TONE
INQUIRIES BRISK AGAIN, BUT ACTIVITY NOT VET REFLECTED IN LOCAL MARKET-CokE IS STRONG AND UPWARD.

The Birmingham iron market Is stiu dull and inactive, notwithstanding the improved tone reported throughout the trade.
 Rogers, Brown X Co.,. 8 Cincinnati re- port for the current week follows:
 The market has decidedly better tone. A great deal more interst is being mant- fested by consumers Not only are the inquiries more numerous for immediate or spot delivery, but inquiries for delivery during the balance of the year and for the first quarter and first half of next year are more in evidence. More ln- quiry developed during the past week than during the previous three or four weeks and it is the genera opinion that we are on the eve of the long deferred buying movement
 Buyers are begnnlnh to realize that prices have about reached bottom and that this Is d good time to cover for their requirements throughout the balance of the year and also to feel the market for delivery beyond the present year. While prices on the lower grades have been somewhat irregular prices of No l and No. has been steady and there Is decided frming up all around. The furn- aces are no longer making any disline- ton in price on prompt delivery or de- livery throughout the balance of the year, but are willing to accept orders for delivery during the first quarter or first half or next year at slightly lower figures than they will sell for delivery throughout the balance of this year.
 Consumption is keeping up well and there are .very few requests for defer red deliveries. There is only limited amount of iron available for delivery throughout the balance of the year, most of the furnaces being sold up and only offering such iron as they make from time to time which does not fit in on eX- fsting contracts. The demand for f1n- ished material has also improved
 fhe coke market is strong with sood demand and prices are gradually adNane- Ing Owing to shortage of labor opef- ators find it impossible to get anything like their capacity output

SERIOUS CHARGE.
Women Fill Warden's Office With Complaints Against c. L. Thomas.

G. L. Thomas, a white man, was placed in the county jail yesterday afternoon on a charge of serious nature. When from some source 1t was learned that Thomas had been lodged in jail, it was not more than half an hour before the warden s office at the Jail was fairly filled with women who were there to prefer charges against the prisoner.
 None of these charges, however, were of as serious nature as that on the war rant on which Thomas was arrested. The bond was not fixed last night on account of the numerous offenses charged to the prisoner.

The s24O0 saloon license ordinance has been signed. Mayor Pro Tenn Parker af- fixed his signature yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock and it immediately became a law
 This removes all the doubts and ru- mors that have been abroad that MT. Par ker would veto the ordinance. He voted against 1t in council meeting and was non-commital afterwards, thus making it seem likely the high license would never become law
 When Clerk Murray presented the act ing Mayor with all the ordinances passed at the last meeting he proceeded to sIgn every one. They will be printed legally in The Age-Herald immediately.

Parker Signs Ordinance
 For High Saloon License

Mir. Parker did not care to explain his action except he stated that "a man, al- though he votes against an ordinance, may feel himself in such a minority that he considers it his duty to sign it."
 Saloon regulation is now up to the peo- ple for what it is worth. The ordinances for which Mayor Ward has been striving for so long are now on the statute books, and in case prohibition does not carry they will go into effect on the first of next year.
 This clears up the business which the majority has been pushing through, and leaves clear field for the return of Mayor Ward. He is expected within the next few days.
