 of the Injunction.

Judge Trieber Of the federal court Saturday isssed a Temporary restrain ing order on the secretary of state in the Western Union Telegraph Com pany's case, the application for which was filed late yesterday afternoon. The case was set for hearing Friday morning. June 7. A delicate point has been raised in the filing of this suit to test the validity of the Wingc act, passed by the last legislature. This act was introduced as a compro- mise measure for the Ross bill, which required all foreign corporations to become domesticated and have their offices in the state cf Arkansas.
 When this bill was passed and ap- proved. a general clamoui went up from all portions of the state for its repeal. It was claimed that the law would drive nearly every foreign cor poration from the state, as it would be impossible to comply with the law. The Wingo bill was then introduced to take the place Of the Ross law. Now the question arises whether or not the Wingo law repeals the Ross act. If the Wingo act is declared invalid, the Ross act will again be placed on the statue books, which is mnch more dreaded by the business interests than its substitute. Attorney General Kirby stated this morning that he was clearly of the opinion that if the Wingo act is knocked out by the courts, the Ross act will take it's place, as the former repealed the lat ter

It is forty five feet in length, eighteen feet high and from twelve to fifteen feet wide It is said to weigh some 2,OOO tons. Then the Bridal Alter, at which thirteen weddings have occurred. The Star Chamber is wen derful. Here the guide took cur lamps and we were left in darkness for the time. The guide throws dim light on the ceiling and the stars come out one by one, the clouds pass over 1t and then suddenly the milky way ap- pears. The bottomless Pit is one hun dred forty five feet deep and at its tcp is Shelby's Dome. h reaching this Pit you cross the Bridge of Signs. Fat Mans Misery is narrow passage way where it is difficult for large man to go through. Alter crossing Natural Bridge and passing the river of Styx we came 10 the famous Echo River. We-went some one half mile on this river il a boat, We saw the small fish without eyes in inc stream. The guide prcpels- the boat by catch ing the rocks above his head. The guide yelled, "ho! ho!. and the echoes sounded them back and forth and then far away. Thaparty then sang Rock of Ages softly and it sounded very beautiful and pleasing The thing especially noticible about the echo is the plonging of the sound. We made ou- way back and visited Mammoth Dome It was lighted by means of chemical fires and is said to be about four hun dred feet in length, one hundred and fifty feet in height There are six columns about eighty feet high by twenty five feet in dianster and stand in semicircle.
 From kere we made our way out through Corkscrew, one h lndred feet high and two hundred feet ever. While crossing you are climbing rocks through a small entrance all the time. Here we again come 10 the main cave and are soon out into the sunlight again. We find it is nearly five o clock in the afternoon. Our guide said we had walked twelve miles and we did not feel like questioning it al all.

IRON PRICES FIRM
 BUT MARKET QUIET
NO SPECIAL FEATURE IN LOCAL TRADE THIS WEEk-CONSUM FRS PRESSING FOR SHIPMENTS. COKE SITUATION IS LIVELY.

The Birmingham iron market has been without supecial feature this week. Quota tions for last half delivery are s21 and s2150 on a No. basis and for the first half of 1908. SIS. 50. These prices are firm but selling is not active as compared with transactions a few weeks ago.
 Rogers Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati report for the current week follows:
 The market this week has been one of somewhat less activity, but absolutely un- diminished strength. There has been a fair amount of business done for extend ed delivery, and all districts report simi- lar conditions Buyers who have been holding off, playing a waiting game, ap- pear to have made up their mind that they have underestimated conditions and have been buying to the best possible ad- vantage.
 The main feature of interest is the con- fldently expected early buying movement for 1908. It would seem that the unusual condition now existing in the Iron trade in respect to supply and the demand made by buyers at the present time, would force a protective movement for buying during period ahead, which for length of time has never yet been equaled in this countrys iron trade history. First quarter business for 1908 is having quite the call, and active buying for the first half will undoubtedly occupy the atten- tion of conservative buyers at an early date
 Consumers continue to press for ship ments of iron previously bought, and are more concerned just now in getting this material on hand promptly than in mak- ing further purchases, or buying spot iron at high prices.
 Furnaces are in very much better shape as regards past due contracts than they have been any time this year. Railroad service for the last two months Is much improved, and iron today is being loaded and shipped as rapidly as' 1t Is made. Stocks of iron In furnace yards are slight and the position of furnaces for 1907 IS now judged to be positively secure.
 Coke is lively, there Is good business be- ing done in furnace and foundry grades. Some leading operators have withdrawn from the market others insist that all business coming up be submitted to them, and the supply of spot coke appears to be ample for all needs. Prices are at wide variance, but the better brands are proving very popular and the prices ob- tained for these held firmly.

STILL AT WORK ON
 TERMINAL PROBLEM
RUMoRs THAT FRISCO AND GEN. TRIAL WILL NOT ENTER NEW UNION STATION ARE THOUGHT TO BE UNFoUNDED.

The Birmingham Terminal company will meet in adjourned session this morning to take up matters which were not set tied at the meeting held last Wednes- day The representatives, of the interested railroads have considerable business be- fore them in the matter of the transfer of passengers from one depot to the other, the details of which are not yet worked out, and there are number of other items in connection with the opening of the new station which are yet to be dis cussed and settled.
 The five roads that are to leave the present union station and occupy the new station on July 1 are the Southern, Sea- board Air Line, Queen and Crescent, Gen. tral of Georgia and Frisco, with the H. linois Central and Mobile and Ohio roads to come in later in the year, It is ru- mored that the Frisco and the Central of Georgia will not make the change on the first with the other roads, but the an- nouncement has been made from the of- flee of the president of the Terminal com pany that the five roads will occupy the new station at the same time, and it Is generally understood that this programme will be carried out
 The contract between the Louisville and Nashville road and the five other roads now occupying the Louisville and Nash vile depot for the use of the station ex- pired on January 1 of this year, and it was expected that the new station would be ready for occupancy at that time, but continued delays occurred and the time was extended to July and the roads no- tified by the officials of the Louisville and Nashville that they must vacate as improvements would be immediately be- gun by the latter road upon the old sta ton.
 With this end in view, work upon the new terminals has been rushed as much as possible in the face of adverse circum- stances, such as bad weather and delay in materials, and Superintendent Dun ming of the Terminal Construction com pany has announced that everything will be ready for tempofary occupancy by the five roads on the date named.

Atlanta, June 1.-The railroads in Geor- gla late today withdrew their fight against the reduced rates on stoves to twenty-seven competitive points in the state, ordered by the railroad commis- sion in July, 1905. The railroads secured from Judge Newman in the federal court a temporary restraining order, but sus- pended hearing in the cases until man damus cases could be tried in the state courts. Judge Pendleton In the superior court ordered the railroads to obey the orders of the commission, the supreme court few days ago affirming this de- cision. The railroads today withdrew their writ of error to the supreme court of the United States. and will put the rates into effect about June %

FEAGIN WINS BY
 TRUSTING BOYS
Puts Boys on Honor to Walk to Indus trial School, and They
 Arrive Safely.

Judge Feagin won a bet yesterday, all though the judge Is not given to gamb- ling. On this occasion he wagered his reputation on two wayward boys. They had wound up in his court after a series of thefts and dodging the police in three other cities.
 The judge handed over their commit ment papers to them, placed them on their honor, and gave instructions that they walk out to the East Lake Reform school.
 The clerk of the police court and the desk sergeant and everybody wio was in the court room at the time was will ing to wager that the judge would never hear of his juveniles again, but they had not counted on the moral strength that still lay in the lads
 Yesterday afternoon the judge received a telephone message that the boys had arrived safely at the industrial school, and were joined to the great family. Judge Feagin believes in trusting thus to the boys, strengthening their sense of responsibility, and 1t is not often that d boy disapponts him.

REFUSE NEW TRIAL
 TO WATERS-PIERCE
Texas Court Today Takes Up Appeal for Appointment of Receiver in
 Custer Case.

Austin, Tex, June 7.--Judge Brooks of the Twenty-sixth district court, today heard and overruled the motion of the defense to grant new trial to the Wa ters-Pierce oil company, convicted last week of having violated the antitrust laws of the state, and a judgment of ous- ter from the state, with the payment of heavy penalties rendered against 1t. ,No- tice of appeal to the civil courts for the third supreme judicial district was given. The court will take up tomorrow the ap- plication of the state for the appoint ment of receiver. Before this action Is taken, however, 1t Is probable that the defendant will offer to make it's appeal bond in the sum of about three and a quarter millions of dollars, and If this is accepted, it is probable that the ap- plication for a receiver will be dis missed.
