AT a joint caucus of democratic soma
tors and representatives of the Alabama
legislature United States Senator John r.
Morgan was nominated by reclamation to
be his own successor from March 4 next.
This is the third nomination.
THE largest land slide ever known in
West Virginia occurred few days since on
tho side Of the Cumberland mountain
whore a scope Of land. containing not less
than twenty-five or thirty acres. slipped
from tho side Of the mountain. carrying its
forest of pine. chestnut. oak and other i'm
mense trees along with it mo a narrow
valley below. The slip shot across the val
ley completely damming it from the noun
tain side TO IL parallel ridge four hundred
yards distant, The small creek which ran
down the valley was damned up. and
formed ~ lake from ten to twenty-five feet
deep. and, perhaps. a half mile in length.
The forest trees still stand on the slide. but
at an angle OF forty-five or fifty degrees.
The mountain side is bare. with the rocks
standing exposed in a line -four hundred
yards wide and half Il mile long. Alto
gcthcr it was IL most peculiar freak OF ma
ture.
Twelve thousand people witnessed Il

rapidly, TO the horror OF the spectators.
Fandcgrift cut the rope that held the para
chute and it seemed for IL time that he
would escape death. The parachute fell
near the center OF the Chatahoorhie river
and Eandegrift was drowned in spite Of the
efforts of two men in IL boat 10 save him.

storm along the coast all the way from Hat
tcras has been very violent and it is feared
many marine disasters have occurred. al
though it will be some days before re-
ports will come in, as the storm
would drive vessels Off the shore.
Because of the heavy se;, an accident hap

were saved. All the rest went to the bot

WASHINGTON BRIEFS.

The second session of the Fifticth COZ

the two houses are very voluminous. The
house calendar gives the titles of nearly
l,5oO bills, while the senate calendar has
420 bills. These bills are what remains Of
the work of The committees during the
most industrious session OF congress in
our history. I, is very uncertain what the
programme of the two houses will be. II
can not be stated with any certainty what

and Il great many temporary PAGES of

which will have charge of the Inauguration
exercises is already at work. Chairman
Quay's action in overru!ing the factions
which were trying to boss the ceremonies
for selfish reasons and were already
plunged in quarrels among themSe selves has
had a good effect. The promise now is that
