A Good Showing.

Bells Depot, with a population of about
800, situated on the Louisville & Nash
Vile railroad, seventy miles northeast of
Memphis, is the metropolis of one Of the
best and most prosperous counties in
West ennessee-Crockett. From Octo-
Der 1, 1893, to January "a, 1891, there
have been shipped from there, not includ-
ing pieces or parts of cars, 131 cars of
cotton, rs cars of lumber, 40 cars of
slaves, q cars of hogs, % cars of cotton
seed, 20 cars headings, Is cars of cattle
and cars of shingles, making a grand
total of 343 full cars of products from
this little city. At low estimate from
the above products there was brought to
this county and distributed among the
people $162, 800. 1t will be seen from the
above report, which covers four of the
winter months, that the large fruit and
vegetable interests of this section are not
included, which interest alone brings to
the county each season over 100000.

Graded I'm a satcheI and Left In a Car
at the Union Depot In st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. "a baby about one
week old was found in satciel in a
car at the Union depot Saturday morn
ing. The child was alive, holes being
cut in the satchel to give it air. The
car in which the infant was found was
the chair-car of the Frisco train, which
arrived from the west at $50 o'clock
Saturday morning. Fred Woerheide,
a private watchman for the Terminal
Railroad association, was the discov-
erer. He was going through the train
after the passengers had left the
coaches, as is the custom, when he
espied the supposedly forgotten bag
gage beneath the seat in the chair-car.
He picked it up and subdued sound
resembling an infants cry startled
him. Examining the satchel he found
the holes cut in the side of it and he
made up his mind that it was a case OF
abandoned babe. The watchman took
the satchel to Depot Matron Mrs
Fraser, who opened it and discovered
bright male child not over week old.
A bottle of milk with a nursing appa-
ratuS was Win bne en1ld- Inc lH1dAe
was neatly dressed in white and
wrapped in child's blanket, which
had a border of red. Mrs. Fraser gave
the baby into the charge of Sergt.
O'Malley, and he assigned Officer Kass-
ing to take it to st. AIMS asylum at
Tenth and Biddle streets.
The police will endeavor to find out
who left the infant. though there is
not much likelihood that they will be
successful. The train was through
train from California. The satchell ie
of black material, twenty-five inches
long, foot wide and ten inches deep.

swept over northern Mississippi, late
yesterday afternoon, leaving destruc-

particulars except from few points.
The wind came up from the southwest
and passed through the northeastern
portion of the state, crossing the Ala

the most serious damage is reported so

wrecked in Columbus, trees uprooted,

Macon and Artesia, Miss, the farmers
suffered great loss, but the extent of
the damage cannot be learned, owing
to the prostratfon of the wires No
lives were lost as far as is known.

Ala, says: Further details of Satur-
days storm which swept over this sec
tion of North Alabama shows the dam-
age to have been far greater than was
at first supposed.
At North Birmingham a dozen houses
were blown down. James Smith, a
railroad section foreman, was fatally
wounded by the roof of his house fall
ing in. His wife and children escaped
with less serious injury.
At East Lake road three depots 1vere
blown down.
The worst damage was at Gate City,
where the Congregational church
was blown down. The Christian En-
deavor society, with fifty persons in
attendance, was holding meeting, and
not one of them escaped unhurt.
Mrs. r. H. Pritchard was crushed
by falling beams and died at mid
night. She was the wife of
the superintendent of the Alabama
rolling mills, and her home was at Iron

When the tornado struck the
church the building collapsed, the
roof falling in solid mass on the con-
gregation. The strong peEys- -pssstialiys
broke the fall, or every person in the
house would doubtlessly have been
crushed to death. Axes had to be used
in releasing many who were under the
debris.
Nearly every house in Gate City was
more or less damaged by the storm.
An immense amount of timber in the
track of the storm was destroyed. The

Again in the Penitentlary.

Nashville, Feb. 2.-Hannah Bass, that
mysterious being whose sex so puzzled
the physicians at the penitentiary about
eighteen months ago, is again behind
those gray stone walls. This person was
sent to the penitentiary for larceny, from.
Blount county, but the warden was at
loss to know whether to put him-her with
the men or women. The physicians were
equally puzzled, and at their suggestion
Gov. Turney granted Hannah pardon
But short time elapsed before Hannah
got into more trouble, and was sent back
to prison, when years term was served,
and now Hannah comes back again on
charge of house-brealking and larceny.
While serving out the other sentence
Hannah was kept apart from the other
prisoners, both male and female, and this
plan will have to be adopted again The
sentence this time is five years. Hannah
is white.
