A FIVE-TON BROADSIDE

In the five turrets of the Florida,
the battieship just launched, will
be ten 12-inch guns, which can be
trained upon single point and
hurl 10000 pounds of metal at one
discharge. All the ships with which
Dewey fought the battle of Manila
bay had combined broadside only
half as powerful, and the effective
range was less by several miles.
Though our battleships of twelve
years ago destroyed the Spanish
1eet at Santiago almost without
receiving scratch they are anti
quated now and completely out
elassed by the leviathans lately adj
led to the navy. The Florida would
be equivalent to a great fortress for

Knots is an indication of what she
would be expected to do Extensively.

HALEY AN FRESHMAN

Few things get by the sons of
the Emerald Isle these days. There
is reason for it, too, Irishmen have
been scattered abroad over the face
of the earth for several centuries
and have had large part in the
making of history. In cases where
the participation Of the Celt is not
generally known some one always
comes to the rescue with the nee
essary Information
The passing of Halley's comet is
case in point. EVERYBODY knows
that HALEY predicted its recurrence
one hundred and fifty years or so
ago, and he was generally supposed
to have been an Enlishman. The
hated SeXon, however, is not to be
allowed to get away with the honor.
In communication to the New
York Tribune we find out all about
the origin of HALEY in few words.
If the man after whom the recent
celestial visitor was named was not
an Irishman his ancestors we're
beyond all doubt, if the Tribune
correspondent knows what he is
talking about.
This defender of the old sod says
that cit is not generally known that
Professor HALEY (the name is a
variation of Healey) of Halley's
comet fame had a Tipperary origin.
The O'Halleys were hereditary
physicians in Ireland and branch
of the O'Briens. ~ "
Their original home was Feralt,
county Tipperary."

HIGH PRICES FORCE
CHILDREN TO WORK

There is no doubt of the truth
IF the saying that wages climb the
stairs while prices go up in the
elevator. A record of retail
prices in New York City, kept by a
careful housewife and by Miss
Gibbs, the visiting housekeeper for
the association for improving the
condition of the poor, show ques-
tionably that poor families have
been pushed to the very edge of
want. There is evidence that more
poor children are leaving school to
go to work, the day nurseries show
that more married women must
seek work, the supply of meat has
been cut down-the increased cost
Of living has, in fact, reduced the
standard of living, and that is some
thing which must be reckoned with
in the next as we'll as this generation.

NEW PRIVATE CAR
NAMED TENNESSEE

The new private car for the executive
officers of the Birminghma Southern rail-
road arrived in Birmingham yesterday
afternoon attached to the Seminole limit
ed over the Illinois Central. The car
was boarded here by several officers of
the company and carried by Frisco
train engine to the Birmingham South
ern shops, near the Linn iron works, and
delivered to the owners.
The car was ordered by President
George Gordon Crawford of the Biz
mingham Southern railroad several
months ago. 1t Is named the "Tennes-
see" after the company that owns the
railroad.
The car is very handsome and Is said
to be equal to any private car ever seen
IN Birmingham. The observation plat
form is the most noticeable exterior fea-
ture, as it is very wide, comforta BILE
looking and finished In brass. The inte-
rior finish is very handsome, but of a
subdued tone.
The car is to be used principally by
President Crawford and Vice President
Crockard in inspecting the properties of
the Tennessee company around the dis
trict known as mineral Alabama.
The officers frequently make inspec-
ton trips, and are on many occasions
accompanied by distinguished visitors to
the district.

TO IMPROVE OCEAN
FREIGHT SERVICE

IT was announced last night that the
ocean freight service by the Clyue
Charleston and Clyde Brunswick fast
freight lines would be improved within
the next few days. 1t was stated that
since the Clyde Steamship company
bought the Brunswick line from the IL M.
Atkinson interests several changes nave
been contemplated. The first in the list
will be the inauguration of one add
t,opa1 steamer from New York to Bruins
wick, effective September 10.
The Clyde Charleston fast freight lne'
In connection with the Southern railway
and other lines has been serving the IN
land trade near Birmingham with nne
results for several years. The Inaugural
tion of the additional port by the same
company will form competing line lot
this territory.
Tn snealxing of the new service and Its
relations to the service of the past, Il. b.
Evans. commercial agent for the Clyde
Charleston fast freight line, said last
night:
"rrhe new service to Brunswick will be
strictly competitive as against the Clyde
Charleston fast freight line. The lat
ter company has a port OF shipment at
Charleston where traffic alliances are
maintained with the various railroads
reaching this and contingent territory
The new line will place a new steamer
in service next week. However, the only
desire we have Is that shippers designate
the route from eastern points. In other
words. If an old shipper of the clyde
Charleston line were to state now, snip
nv the Clyde line,' the shippers may route
the shipments via Brunswick. The Attain
ia. Birmingham and Atlantic is practically
the only line originating at Brunswick.
and will be chief factor in the new ar
rangements 1t is to the interest OF the
shippers to designate where the goods
should be unloaded, whether at Charleston
or Brunswick"

TERMINAL BOARD
HAS SHORT SESSION

The board Of control of the Birming-
ham Terminal station held meeting yes
terday morning in the offices of j. H.
Jackson, superintendent of the Frisco,
who is chairman of the board. The meet
Ing was very short and only few routine
matters were discussed.
At the next meeting a few weeks hence
the board will adopt a new set of rules
governing the terminal which have been
formulated by the National Station
Agents association as being the most ap-
proved, and the most adaptable for rail-
road terminal service. Superintendent j.
W. Evens of the Alabama Great South
ern will draft the new rules and present
them to the board. In addition to this 1t
is expected that at the next meeting some
plans will be outlined to increase the sal
airy of the employees of the station. Their
salaries were cut during the panic and
have not been replaced to the amount paid
before that time. This question will be
settled probably definitely at the next
meeting

RATE HEARING Is
AGAIN ADJOURNED
STATE WILL BEGIN THE INTRO
DUCTIoN OF IT'S EVIDENCE SEP
TENDER is AND ABOUT THREE
WEEKS WILL BE REQUIRED

After hearing a second installment
of evidence from W. H. Courtenay,
chief engineer for the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. yesterday, the rate
hearing adjourned to about September
10. The hearing was resumed in Biz
min CHAM only three days ago by Spe-
cial Master Gunter after it had been
in session several months in Louisville.
At the first hearing the company In
troduced practically all the testimony
desired The officers and attorneys
were excused until the meeting was
resumed here. 1t was generally be-
lived that the railroads would simply
abridge former testimony here and then
pass the case to the state. However,
the state has introduced no witnesses
yet.
In his testimony yesterday Mr.. Court
enay detailed the cost of maintaining
a mile of roadway and gave other ex-
pert evidence in regard to the opera
lions of the company from an engineer
Ing point of view. He told how much it
costs to construct a mile and how eY-
and tear and other details in regard to
the trackage.
He was cross-examined by Mr.. Sell
heimer for the state, but nothing of
general interest was brought out.
After adjourning the case yesterday
Special Master Gunter and Greg DRY l..
Smith, counsel for the Louisville and
Nashville, left for Montgomery. MIR.
Smith will go on to Mobile today. The
hearing when convened on September
Is will be for the purpose of allow
ing the state to introduce testimony.
The state will require about two weeks
according to the statement of attor-
neys handling the case. After the state
introduces its evidence the companies
will offer some in rebuttal and the
state will do likewise. The case will
then be summed up, by Special Master
Gunter and passed to Judge Thomas g.,
Jones.

The new electric arcade located between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets on First
avenue was Illuminated last night. The
workmen completed the placing or the
lights on the arcade late yesterday after
noon and last night the switch was turned

First avenue more popular from this time
forward. The merchants after holding a
conference or two planned the arcade. The

LEE IS SURPRISED
AT SUIT OF MARX
LOCAL WHOLESALE GROCER SAYS
HE NEVER HEARD OF MAN AND
CANNOT UNDERSTAND BASIS FOR
HIS ACTION

Another Birmingham firm which was
sued for 100000 declares that L. H. Marx
of Mobile, who entered suit against his
firm is stranger. s. w. Lee of the Ala
bama Grocery company stated yester-
day afternoon that he was like Lee Bivins
of the Roden Grocery company as far as
knowing Marx was concerned. Marx
filed suit against the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' association and named several
individual firms as co-defendants. The
Roden Grocery company was one and the
Alabama Grocery company another
II have been served with a complaint
against the Alabama Grocery company di-
recting us to answer Marx" said Mr.. Lee
yesterday afternoon. However, I do not
know the man, never heard of him before
and If he exists in this world | do not
know it. That is one error in our law.
Any man. 1t matters not whether he
any one that he pleases Our firm has
never been requested to serve this man
Marx, nor have any of our agents. We
were naturally surprised that he sued
up. We are members of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association, and SO are
many firms in the east and north. How
ever, we have been picked out up here In
Birmingham by a man that so far as |
know was never in business in Mobile
or elsewhere
In speaking of the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' association suit, Mr.. Lee said
IT suppose Gen. Luke Wright will file
our answer to that on the date required
by law. I have not paid any attention
to the government case, ana have not
been in any conference discussing the
case. I believe, however, that President
McLaurin will handle the matter prop
erly.'
The Southern Wholesale Grocers asso-
citation was made defendant in an ac-
ton by the government several months
ago which seeks to declare the associa
ton an illegal combination. The case will
be answered by the grocers on Septem-
Der s, which Is tomorrow week. Presi-
dent McLaurin of the association and the
attorneys in Memphis have been mapping
out the defense to be made to the suit.
Gen. Luke e. Wright OF Memphis will
represent all the defendants as well as the
individual members of the association.

WILL GET VIADUCT
ALDERMAN THINKS RAILROADS
WILL NOT TURN DOWN PROPOSE
TION MADE BY CITY-FIRST AVE-
NUE. vIADUCT IMPERATIVE

Walter Moore, alderman from the
with prominent railroad officers here
and elsewhere, states that Birmingham
will have a viaduct and that it will be
built soon. He also declares that the
many requests for viaducts from the
points in the city should not be taken
seriously until the most imperative
danger at First avenue has been re-
moved Mr.. Moore stated yesterday aft
ernoon that the plan as outlined by
the city should be threshold out at the
meeting to be held soon and then given
to the railroad men for action.
THE plan will be absolutely fair"
said Mr.. Moore. "and the railroads
cannot refuse to build the viaducts
after receiving our proposal. And II
they refuse after we make them a fair
and square proposition I believe we
should go after them and make the
COMPANIES furnish Birmin CHAM with
the viaducts I am as strong friend
of the railroads as any man In Biz
mingham. 1 have been always anxious
to serve them by reason of the fact
that 1 believe they have made the
town. I want to treat them fair and
1 believe the majority of the aldermen
desire to do so. And when we make
them a fair equitable proposal which
Is refused we have methods for MAX
ing them come to terms. I do not an
ticipate any trouble from the com
panies I think they will accept our
plan and then start to work on the
yiaduct on First avenue.
II think also in this connection that
the citizens of the city sh ould Coop
crate with us in solving this question.
We should not be confused in the ne
gotiations by requests to build one here
and another yonder. We have many
years to stay here yet and we should
all be anxious to solve our real life
taking questions before jumping upon
some auxiliary issue. When the VIA
duct Is constructed on First avenue
then 1 believe the other matters will
receive proper attention"

whiclTis very popular there. Jake Wells
put vaudeville in the Bijou one summer
and made success with it,
1t is possible that a great stock COM
pany one of the finest in the country,
will occupy the orpheum. II so, some of
the finest stock productions ever seen in
the south will be witnessed here, all roy
atty plays and the very latest, some of
them still running in New York, and as

1t is possible that 10 cent vaudeville
may be used, but is said to be hardly
probable.
