WOODLAWN PLANS
 ENTERING CITY

The Woodlawn City Council met in reg ular session last night and transacted much important business.
 A petition was handed the aldermen signed by 54 citizens requesting them to call an election in the near future for al- lowing the people of Woodlawn to vote on annexation to Birmingham. A com mittee was appointed to investigate this petition. Before the close of the meet ing 1t was learned that several of those who had signed the petition were desir- ous of having their names struck off as the matter had been misrepresented to them and several of those signing are not qualified voters of the city So 1t Is probable that the number will be reduced from 54 to about 30. No definite action was taken last night in regard to the election as the council will await the re- port of the committee.
 The bond issue was also discussed and some action taken in regard to the mat ter. It is understood that the work on improvement will begin shortly as a result
 The meeting was presided over by Mayor Perryman.

NeWs of Bessener

Bessemer, June 22.-(special. )-Birming- ham Southern engine No. g, which has been at Miskooda for the past three months, passed through this city at an early hour yesterday morning.
 This engine was brought back to be placed on the Birmingham division. It has been used over at Miskooda for the past three months in stocking ore, and the change is good evidence that several of the stacks in the Bessemer district will be put in operation at an early date.
 The ore that was stocked commenced to move this morning and from TOW on the shipments will be quite large, as there are 8 number of furnaces throughout the dis triet to take care of it.
 With the Courts.
 This week will be devoted to non-jurv civil cases in the city court of Bessemer, and the week promises to be quite a busy one. After this weeks work is finished. every effort will be made to clear the docket as far as possible.
 There will be a good many non-jury cases to come up before Judge Jackson, and it is believed most of them will be disposed of before the end of the week
 When court opens in September there will be 'lots doing as a number of cases have been carried over.
 Personal and General.
 It is reported here that Judge J. J. Mayfield, recently nominated for justice of the supreme court, is quite ill of ty-

phoid fever at his home in Tuscaloosa. His brother-in-law. T. T. Huey, states that he has typhoid fever, but he has not heard from him today.
 The trial of M Anderson, who is charged with shooting Conductor Moses on the Jonesboro car on Friday night, will not take place until Tuesday of next week, the case being continued Monday morning in the police court. Moses was able to attend court, and Is not seriously wounded. Reports of the affair are con- flicting, Anderson not being arrested un- til Saturday, when bond was made.
 Thomas Huey and George II. Stevenson have returned from Atlanta, where they went to make the arrangements for the excursion to the sea for the Alabama Press association The time and exact programme for the excursion will be worked out later, all that was done was the chartering of the train from Talladega to Brunswick. The excursion will, of course, be exclusively for the newspaper men, as at least POO editors and repre- sentatives of the press are expected at the convention. Arrangements will be made at once to transfer the editors from this city to Talladega, where they will make the run over the new railroad.
 Good Pay Day.
 Sloss mines paid off on Saturday, and the pay roll was quite a good one, not withstandlng the fact that more than half of the laborers had not worked a full month
 The merchants in the city had quite a. good trade on Saturday evening, and to- day business has been good. The pay days are growing larger each month and 1t Is quite evident that business prospects are growing brighter as time goes by.

FAIR PROMISES
 TO BE FINER EXHIBITION

If the spirit of the officers carries any weight, the Alabama state fair in October of this year is going to be an exhibition of which not only Birmingham but all Alabama will be proud.
 It is that same spirit with which they jumped in at the eleventh hour last year and wrought miracles, but it is broadened out not only with the encouragement of one success, but by the assistance and n- terest displayed by the citizens of Bir- mingham. As Manager George Barnes said yesterday "Within a few years Bir- mingham people will see what the fair means and will consider every word they speak and everything they do for the fair equal to a monetary investment.
 "The fair this year is really going to be a great success. The finest track in the south is attracting more and more horses every year. It is now in fine shape. We will have the exhibit buildings full of new and unique displays. Con-

SHERMAN MAY HOLD HIS
 PLACE ON COMMITTEE

Washington, June 22--The question as to whether Representative Sherman will remain as chairman of the republican con- gressional committee is not altogether re- garded as conclusively settled by persons who are familiar with the work of the committee in this city. It is expected this matter will be determined when the na- tional republican committee meets here July 1, when both MT Taft and MT. Sher- man will be present and many matters re- lating to the campaign will be determined. It is believed that in advance of selecting a chairman, MT. Sherman himself has done nothing to determine just what part he will take in the campaign.
 The position of Secretary Taft and that of MT. Sherman, so far as their official duties are concerned, are not regarded here as at all identical. The resignation of Secretary Taft was expected by every one, as it is manifestly impossible for him to attend to the duties of secretary of war and be at the head of the republican

Meridian, Miss, June 22.-(Special.)-- The criminal term of the Lauderdale county circuit court was convened for a threeweeks' session today. The feature of the opening of the term was the strenuous charge of Judge Robert r.

PUTTING TELEGRAPH WIRES
 FAR UNDER THE GROUND

With the burial of the telegraph cables an important step toward the realization of the Beautiful Birmingham" idea will have been taken.
 The removal of the telegraph and tele- phone poles and the placing of wires in the business section of the city under ground is a matter that has been before the people for long while The actual work is now being done
 The Western Union Telegraph company has a large force of men at work pulling the cables into the conduits, preparatory to placing their wires under ground as re- quired by the city ordinance recently passed, and within the next two or three weeks the tall poles running along First avenue from Eighteenth to Twenty-second streets, carrying from 75 to 100 wires, will be thing of the past
