ScRAPPY INGRAM SCRAPS. Manager and "Bugs" Raymond IT
 Eierce Cef-f0

Pittsburg, June 16.-7John McGraw, man. ager of the New York Nationals and Bugs Raymond the eccentric pitcher of the same club, had a rough and tumble argument while en route from Cincin- natl to this city early today.
 It is said McGraw reprimanded Ray mond for the latter's personal conduct while in Cincinnati. McGraw today said: Raymond got little strong on the train and needed correction. I did not want to fine him; I just administered a little chastisement."
 Raymond, who carries split lip as a result of the encounter, says McGraw jumped on him without provocation and choked off his wind. The two men ap- peared on the ball grounds this after noon apparently reconciled.

 ------.---->- --~->7-->>>--~-----> Birmingham to its proper position as the commercial center of the south
 Your town is only about 30 years old. AS we ride around it and see all these beautiful mansions we can but wonder what 30 more years will bring to Bir- mingham.
 Speaking as newspaper man you will pardon me if I say that the chief credit for your progress Is due to the newspapers of your city.
 'I have today surrendered the presi- dency of our association to my distin- guished friend, Colonel Rhodes, with pleasure and satisfaction I could not have done so to a better man. He will fill the office with honor and believe the time will come when his state will proffer him higher honor.''
 Babb's Future City.
 MT. Rhodes introduced Secretary J. B. Babb. He welcomed cordially .the repre- sentative of that agency which must be first mentioned as a means toward a great, prosperous and progressive com munity."
 MT. Babb suggested that while Birming- ham is extending her city limits, she may soon stretch out to take in Atlanta, New Orleans and Nashville, and that in the year 1880, when Chicago and Birmingham are fighting for final supremacy, the great struggle will be determined into which city the suburb of Evansville, Ind. shall be annexed.
 "A great city must have great banks, merchants, trade areas, but it must be built upon the character of its citizenship must have it's success laid in the af- fections of its people; must be honestly governed; must have strict observance of the law"
 Here he alluded to the dry banquet Tt took nerve to do it, and I am sure that you will approve of it. ''To be great a city must be harmonious Corporations and labor must be at peace. It must be religious, educational; must be beautiful, patriotic, always ready to answer the call for public service
 There is only one good town and every newspaper man thinks that he lives in it. All we are candidate for is your sec ond choice. We want you to love us a little bit for we who have met you love you great deal"

with railroad earnings for the month OF
April showing a gain OF 1873 per cent
over 1905. and only 1o3 per cent decrease
as compared with the banner year Of
1907; with immigration 212.e0O larger than

than in 1905. and nearly equal to 1907;
with a distinct gain IN the iron and steel
trade. IN both orders and prices, with q
hardening tendency IN copper, the trade
