YESTERDAY’S FIRES.
Two Two-Story Cottages Burned on Twenty
eighth Street—Another Blaze.
Two two-story frame cottages on
Twenty-eight street, between Avenues
C and D, were totally destroyed by fire
shortly after 2 o’clock yesterday after
noon. The fire originated in the building
at the south end of the row and burned
fiercely and rapidly until that building
had been entirely consumed. The flames
spread to the next one, which was unoc
cupied. and had burned It almost to the
ground, but the firemen proved they
could do effective work. Adjoining
buildings were slightly scorched and
some of the furnitjire more or less dam
aged while being removed.
The house In which the lire originated
was occupied by Mrs. Sauls, a widow,
and her children. None of her furniture
was saved.
The houses belonged to the Elyton
Hand company and were valuc-d at about
$350 each and were partially insured.
How the fire originated docs not seem
to be known.
At the time the alarm was sounded
the Northside department was at anoth
er fire, to which the Southside depart
ment had started. Before they reached
It, however, the alarm from box 135, Ave
nue E and Twenty-seventh street, was
sent In and the Southside department
turned and went to that.
It was a long run and after the arrival,
of the laddies they had tc run a line of
hose from Avenue C and Twenty-sixth
street, over two blocks. With this they
were able to hold the flames in check un
til the arrival of the Northside depart
ment, a few minutes later, when an addi
tional stream was turned on from Ave
nue C and Twenty-sixth street. With
the two streams the tire was soon extin
guished.
The total loss was probably $800 or
$1000, with about $400 or $500 insurance
Another Blaze.
Just before the alarm sounded from
box 135 one was turned In from box 12,
corner of Sixth avenue, and Twentieth
street. Fire was discovered in the tin
roof of Dr. A. T. Henley’s residence, but
was soon put out with little or no dam
age.
The Northside department responded
promptly to the alarm and the South
side reel was on Its way there when the
alarm was turned In from box 135.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
Let Birmingham Build Her Own
Steel Plant.
A PERMANENT MINERAL
Exhibit of the Exposition Display—Meeting of
the Cumberland Presbyterians—Mu
sical Entertainment.
The Commercial club held ys regular
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon,
with Dr. T. M. Allen presiding in the ab
sence of the president.
Secretary Thompson submitted his re
port on the financial condition of the
club, after which the following new
members elected at the last meeting
were announced: Dr. J. D. S. Davis, Dr.
W. E. B. Davis, Joseph R. Cook, E. N.
Cullom, J. M. Cockburn, J. B. Hayden,
Dr. S. L. Ledbetter, W. St. Pierre, E. Q.
Smith, C. A. Merritt, Ben Meyer, James
H. Hard and Arthur C. Sharpley.
Secretary Thompson read tile following
report of the manufacturing committee:
Plan for a Steel Mill.
To the Commercial Club:
During the two and a half years of the
existence of this club the manufacturing
committee has had occasion to present to
the club the important bearing of a steel
plant on the future growth and prosper
ity of Birmingham. It lias been shown
by this committee that in so far as the
mere production of raw materials were
concerned, the city of Birmingham has
reached a wonderful growth, but in order
to reach a more wonderful development
we hope to see greater advancement in
the manipulation and further refinement
of our raw products.
After these years of waiting for some
one else to come in among us and ac
complish this work—a work pertaining
so closely to the welfare of all classes in
this city—it is believed that the wiser
policy would have been to have concen
trated ail energies to the task of doing
this ourselves. The spectacle is pre
sented to the outside world of a great
city, claiming advantages for Iron pro
duction over all others on the face of the
globe, yet expecting others to neglect
their own established interests, or per
haps antagonize them, by entering what
appears to them to be only an experi
mental or speculative field. It Is believed
that this work can be done by our own
people, especially when they are brought
to realize the great benefits that will re
sult from It directly to ourselves. To
test this possibility the following plan is
submitted:
L,et ail or me land companies, curjiuia
tions and individuals owning acreage
property in or immediately adjacent to
Birmingham be approached to subscribe
whatever amount of land they can be in
duced to place into a company, the pur
poses of which shall be the building and
operating of a steel plant and rolling mill
in this city. Said land to be subject to
valuation by an Impartial committee and
none received that does not possess a
fair chance for market under reasonable
conditions of activity.
Instruct the real estate committee of
the club to co-operate with the manufac
turing committee In obtaining such sub
scriptions, and as fast as obtained re
port the same to the secretary of the
club; and when it is deemed that a suf
ficient quantity of land has been ob
tained let a call be made for the formal
organization of the company. With a
basis of such a character it Is believed
that no great trouble need be experienced
to raise the needed funds, either In mon
ey, subscriptions to stock, or In pledges
on the property, to carry the enterprise
to a successful consummation. Also let
the press of the city be requested to aid
in this work, together with the members
of this club generally, until such a sen
timent will prevail as will find some oth
er plan to secure a plant If the one
herein outlined should not prove feasible.
In tills connection it may be well to
again refer to the club’s motto: “Pat
ronize home enterprises.” Incidents are
of frequent occurrence where orders are
sent away from Birmingham for work
or articles that could be had here on
equally as favorable terms, and some
times for even less prices. Especially Is
this the case in jobs of printing, tailor
made clothing, dressmaking and milli
nery, while larger manufacturers in oth
er lines are expected and frequently
asked to “cut prices" obtained from out
side parties before they can obtain or
ders.
Such a spirit will not build up home
enterprises, while It will render the loca
tion of new ones more difficult, because
existing ones ore not given proper local
patronage and encouragement.
The sentiment should be strongly urged
and vigorously maintained to buy noth-’
ing ouislde, unless to be had on mani
festly belter terms in every respect.
Attention is also called to the invention
of one of our citizens. Mr. C. A. Merritt,
whose newly patented eldctric lamp con
tains many points of great practical val
ue and usefulness. It is hoped that such
encouragement may be given Mr. Merritt
by our citizens as will! enable him to
form a company here for the manufac
ture and sale of his lamp in this city.
Respectfully submitted.
JOSEPH BEITMAN, Chairman.
Secretary Thompson moved the adop
tion of the report.
Secretary Thompson said the commit
tee had seen several of the land compa
nies, and had assurances that such a
plan as suggested in the report was fea
sible. He believed enough land could be
secured to make the plan entirely practi
cable.

mltted the following report:
Social Features.
To the Commercial Club:
The undersigned special committee
from the committee on social features,
appointed to investigate and report on
the advisability of Inaugurating some
character of entertainment with a view
of benefiting the club financially, having
in view also the bringing together' of
the members In such a manner as will
tend to create a stronger interest in the
work of the club, make the members bet
ter acquainted and more enthusiastic in
whatever will tend to benefit the town,
beg leave to report as follows:
1. We suggest that Professors Boyce
and Guckenberger, both of whom are
members of the club, be requested to un
dertake jointly an entertainment such as
they are capable of arranging and carry
ing into effect, which will enlist a livelier
Interest in the welfare of the club by the
patronage of those who can be brought
together by such an entertainment as
can be presented by talent second to none
In the country, and at the earliest period
that will suit their convenience.
2. We suggest further that all agencies
or Individuals in the city who desire to
see the Commercial club redouble the en
ergies already put forth, and which have
borne fruit, be appealed to for aid in
creditable display of her resources at
that exposition.
3. We suggest further that an enter
tainment be given under the auspices of
the social features committee on Monday
evening, December 16th Instant.
4. We suggest further that this enter
tainment be so arranged as that there
may be two short addresses by two prom
inent members of the club on "How Can
the Industrial Development of Birming
ham Be Best Promoted?” and that said
entertainment be rendered further at
tractive by such other features as the
committee may decide upon. Respectful
ly submitted, WM. M. LINDSAY,
*f | N. F. THOMPSON,
Special Committee.
Tlje report was adopted.
A Permanent Exhibit.
The following resolutions offered by M.
V. jjoseph were adopted:
Whereas, The mineral exhibit in the
Alabama building at the Atlanta exposi
tion has elicited very> general praise, from
all Hsitors to that building, and has in
deed formed one of the central attrac
tions to the exposition itself! and
Whereas, The exposition is soon to be
closed and the exhibits removed or dis
posed of by the owners of the same; and
Whereas, It would add greatly to the
work of the Commercial club and re
dound to the advantage of the entire dis
trict if that exhibit could be preserved
in permanent form at some central point
in this city, where visitors could easily
obtain an idea of the great mineral
wealth of this region by its inspection;
therefore be it i
Resolved 1. That the thanks of the
Commercial club he and ere hereby ten
dered to all who have furnished these
exhibits, entailing as they have much
time and expense in their collection and
arrangement at Atlanta, hut which they
generously and patriotically contributed
in order that Alabama might have a
creditable of her resources at that expo
sition.
2. That this club request said exhibit
ors to donate such of these exhibits as
can b? used for a permanent display, and
for which the club may obtain transpor
tation without further expense to them,
for the purpose of establishing such a
display in this city.
3. That the thanks of the club are also
tendered to the Alabama hoard of man
agers lor their praiseworthy and suc
cessful work in giving to Alabama so
prominent a part In the south's greatest
exposition, and we urge ail of those who
have not yet visited this exposition
throughout Alabama to do so before it
cIosps that they may thereby show their
appreciation of this opportunity so fa
vorably presented of bringing the re
sources of this state before the outside
world.
Cumberland Presbyterian General Assem
bly.
At thp request of Rev. R. D. Wear,
pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, the secretary called attention
to the fact that the general assembly
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
of the United States would meet in this
city next May. It was suggested that
the club take some steps towards as
sisting in entertaining the delegates.
The matter was referred to the enter
tainment committee.
Mardi Gras.
E. Lesser of the committee from the
German Turnverein presented the mat
ter of a mardi gras to be given in this
city in February. The Turnverein de
sired the Commercial club to assist in
the mardi gras. Mr. Lesser said that
ten years ago a mardi gras was given by
the Turnverein here, which brought to
the city the biggest crowd ever seen in
Birmingham, not excepting the Confed
erate Veterans' reunion. He said a great
many people who yearly go to New Or
leans and Mobile would stay at home if
they could see the same thing here. He
wanted to know if the Commercial club
would assist in getting up the affair.
The cost, he said, would hardly be more
than t7fi0. Every retail merchant and
hotel In the city would reap some bene
fit from such a carnival.
The movement was indorsed by the
club and a committee of five appointed
to co-operate with the Turnverein com
mittee in ascertaining the cost of same,
ttc.
On motion the club adjourned.
The Secret of Contentment.
The most contented people are those
who abide by the old and tried; the old
is so satisfactory that the new cannot
offer any Inducement for a change. Now
that is just why Simmons Liver Regula
tor has maintained Its popularity these
many years, notwithstanding the many
imitations and unscrupulous dealers who
have done everything possible to draw
the people away from Simmons Liver
Regulator. The people of the south have
too much good sense to turn away from
an old friend, especially when the old
friend is so far superior to everything
that is new. To take Simmons Liver
Regulator means a long life and a happy
life. But 'twill be a short life and a mis
erable one to any who allow themselves
to be persuaded by dishonest dealers to
take any of the Imitations or counter
feits. Stick to the old friend with the
Red Z on the package, the real Simon
pure article.
