STATUS OF 1. & N. WORK SAT|SFAC John Howe PeytOn in the
 City Yesterday
 -------- PLANS FOR NEW LINE Final Financial Arrangements For Big Undertaking Are Expected
 to Be Completed During Coming Month

John Howe Peyton, assistant to M. H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad was in Birmingham yesterday on business connected with his company. MT. Peyton, in addition to be- ing assistant to the president, is chief en- gineer for the new line of his company running from Nashville 50 Decatur.
 Mir Peyton said he did not have any announcement to make relative to the new double track. IL is understood how ever, that active preparation for the new work is progressing very favorably, and that fin New York some time the coming be made for the double tracking. In the past few days it is reported that deeds for rights of way have been filed in the courts of Morgan and Cullam county, and that other details of like character have been conformed with to settle the prop erty rights of the company.
 . It is said the Louisville and Nashville will not make any great changes in the physical conditions north of Birmingham to Decatur. The line will cross and re- cross the present main lines at various points, but it is said to be against the established policy of the Louisville and Nashville to swerve so far away from es- tablished towns as to injure them to any great extent
 At Decatur the lines will not be changed. At Holmes Gap a great cut will be taken out, while other curves will be eliminated at all places where such action is possible. The grades be- tween this city and Decatur, which have occasoned great deal of trouble, will be reduced almost to the minimum At Culman the company will reduce the present grade level at one point 20 feet. Four viaducts will be constructed over the lines, which will give passage over the tracks while trains are standing at the station. This in the past has caused great deal of complaint at Cullman, it is said. The viaducts will be of the kind Birmingham may get, and for which there has been a long fight in Birmingham.

O'CONNELL TALKS ON
 WATER CONTRACTS
Says Report That Company Has No Contract With City Is
 Mistake

That his company always operated well within it's contract and that the sugges- ton that the Birmingham Water Works has no contract from the city. was all a misake, was the statement of Superin- tendent D. J. O'Connel of the company yesterday.
 Statements are made that Capt. Ro- maine Boyd, city attorney, has failed to find any contract whereby the water works company operates in this city
 However officials of the Birmingham Water Works company are not concerned over the situations
 s'Our policy Is to keep we'll within our contracts said Superintendent O'Con- nell "and we always do so. If l could attend to every slight complaint publicly could soon convince the people of this district as to that Our company never slaves d contract. but stays far away from the edge. This proposition Of our having no contract with the city Is very sudden. as we have paid to the city d franchise tax which the city seemed glad to get If had nothing more to keep me awake at nights than this contract 1 would sleep undisturbed.'

 WHAT HE WANTS Senator Atkins Says Ala bama Will Honor Him in

That he is for Oscar W.

 T am for Underwood for whatever he wants" said Senator Atkins. Tt is time that Alabama should offer to the national party a capable son, and in MT Under wood we have one. l hope that his merits can be so presented as to secure the nomination for President. If not, then am sure that he can be nominated for vice president If he wants neither of these, then the people of this state l am sure will be glad to gise him any re- ward in their power.
 He is one of the ablest men that has been sent to the national House from Alabama for many years. and would re- fleet great honor upon his party if se- lected.
 In speaking of the good roads trip, Sen ator Atkins said a party occupying his car came very near being seriously in- jured while returning. The members of the party retired from the car and start ed to walk up a rather dangerous looking hill. The was left in charge of the driver and he started up. The car skid ded and went over 20 foot embankment turning turtle and pinning the negro un- der it.
 We were walking, fortunately" said Senator Atkins. "The negro was pretty badly bunsed up and I dare say that if we had not decided to walk we would have been pretty badly injured. As it was, the negro was the only one to suf- fer. We finally arranged to get to sta tion and catch train for Birmingham.
 '.rhe trip was, however, in every way successful. The people in that end of the state are very much in earnest for good roads. and I am sure any con certed action will have their support if il is meritorious.'
