Provisions Scarce at Mobile, But Otherwise Calmness Pre-
 vails.
More Roads Tied Up and Men Continue to Go Out-Situa-
 ton in Birmingham.

Birmingham was all agog yesterday aft ernoon and evening over the strike situa- tion throughout the entire country. Ru- mors of local troubles were rife, and in fact almost anything of the strike kind could be heard. Some had-it that the railroads entering this city would be tied up at mid night, and others could be found who had it that only one or possibly two of the roads would be placed among the long list now in condition of inactivity.
 There was largely attended meeting of the local lodge Of the American Railway union held last night, and while, of course, it was held behind closed doors, it was re- liably reported that large number of can didates were taken into the already large local.
 It was heard, though not officially, that no trouble with any of the railroads would occur in the next twelve hours.
 In anticipation of any trouble in this city twenty five picked men each from the Birmingham Rifles and Volunteers were ordered into their respective armories, there to remain until further orders. Whether they will remain longer than to- night is yet to be seen.
 A deputy sheriff was out fast night 
 report at the sheriff's office at : o'clock this morning.
 What the result in this district will be no man knows, and every one is on the qui vive of expectation.
 At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the AGE. HERALD posted bulletin on one of its windows, and immediately an immense throng gathered to peruse it. From time to time as news of importance was received over the leased wire bulletins were posted and the crowds came, read and commented.
 While there were many who read the bulletins who discountenanced the action of the mobs in Chicago, there were some who sympathized with the strikers and ex- pressed themselved accordingly.
 At midnight the usual quiet prevailed, and tho SC who earlier in the evening were eager to hear from the front had repaired to their respective homes to await the mor- row.

 Superintendent Charles Marshall of the Louisville and Nashville railroadTwas In the city today, and was asked why the em- ployes of his road in New Orleans had not passed resolutions to stand by the road as had the employees of the Illinois Central and Queen and Crescent systems in New Orleans. He said that some suspicion as to their loyalty had rested upon the New Orleans employees of the systems men, tioned, and that they had taken this ac- ton to clear themselves of such suspicion. He did not think that any such action was necessary on the part of the New Orleans employees of his road.
 Two emissaries of the American Railway union spent several days here endeavoring to persuade the employees of the several railroads in this city to join the union, but they got the cold shoulder here and were not able to find corporal's guard who were desirous of connecting themselves with the organization.
