OF TEXAS PRISE NTs TERRIBLE SIGHT
 TRAINS RUNNING THROUGH.

OF TEXAS PRESENTS TERRIBLE SIGHT.
 TRAINS RUNNING THROUGH.
 SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 3.-The 1000 men who have been at work repairing the forty miles of track on the Southern Pacific railroad overfiowed and washed out west of here by the recent flood completed their work yesterday afternoon, ard trains are now running over the temporary structures. The first through train since the deluge oc- cured arrived here at O clock last night. It was passenger train, and brought in large number of people who had been tied up by the great washout.
 They report terrible condition of affairs in the country for distance of 100 miles or more. In the branches of trees, where the high water left them, are debris of all kinds, including horses and cattle, house. hold furniture, etc., and the broad prairies are still covered with water to depth of 2 to feet, and overland trips to the remote ranches and settlements are matters of inn possi bilty. It is expected that relief expe- ditions will be sent out today.

STILL ANOTHER RAILROAD
Prospects for an Extension of the
 East and West
Into Birmingham-A Prospect ing Party Looking forq0v
 minaI Fa aciiittes!

Col. Charles P. Ball, manager of the East and West railroad. was in the city yesterday, accompanied by the following New York capitalists: Messrs. w. B. Bur- nett, Wyland Trusk and q. A. Avery. The party came in private car, and yes- terday were shown around the oity, and, !, under the guidance of Maj. W. J. Milner, took a run over the Highland Avenue and Belt railroad.
 It is understood that these gentlemen are seeking terminal facilities in this city for the East and West railroad, which they represent. This indicates that the East and West is to be extended from Broken Arrow to Birmingham, and that the Belt road will probably be purchased by them.
 It is a well-known fact that more than one railroad has been trying to gain con trol of the Belt for along time, as it's fran chises are very valuable, including, as they car shed and touch all the most important receiving and distributing points in and around the city.
 The completion of the East and West from Broken Arrow to Birmingham and the building of gap from Cartersville to Gainesville, Ga., will give 10 Birmingham another eastern outlet for her heavy freights and place us about sixty five miles nearer the metropolis. It will open up to our furnaces vast mines Of brown hematite ores and give to Birmingham most important feeder.
 Strong hopes are entertained that within a very short time the East and West will be with us.

IN THE LEAD,

GUN, Sept. 3.-[Special Staff Corre- spondence. ]-Probably the hardest fight for the selection of a congressman in the state will be in this, the Sixth, district al- though as the thing now stands Bankh cad has the lead.
 Some Of the delegates have arrived and others will arrive on the morning train. The convention will not be called to order before 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 The convention has fftytwo delegates, with twenty seven necessary to a choice. Of these Bankhead has nineteen, Foster eleven and fraction, Long eleven and a fraction. Chapman eleven and a fraction, and Clements 0 fraction of vote. Every one of the number will be on hand when the convention opens.

 The struggle will be a hard one, and there is no telling how long 1t will last. Balloting will be kept up at lecst for sev- eral days, and it may last several weeks.
 Bankhead will go into the convention with nineteen delegates, andwill probably add several after the first ballot, but will not receive enough for nomination. al- though his men are confident that he will pull through all right In fact, the sup porters of each candidate feel confident of the success of their man. w. o.

MARK BROOKS IS DECLARED sUPERINTEND-
 ENT OF EDUCATION OF TUSCALOOSA
 COUNTY.
 TUSCALOOSA, Sept. 3.-[Special. l-Mr. Mark Brooks, Jeffersonian candidate for county superintendent of education of this county, has been declared the nominee in the race.
 The first count, and the one on which the returns were based, gave Rev. Mir. Curry, the democratic nominee, outside of beat 19, 2050 votes and MT. Brooks 2044.
 Mir. Brooks with his attorney, Ormond Sommerville, Esq, went before Judge B. H. Williams and petitioned for a recount of box 19. This was granted and Judge Williams and Messrs. Alex Miller, Syd Clements and Lon Burks went over the votes, with the result that Mir. Brooks was found to have 10S aud Mir. Curry 39 votes. This gives Mir. Brooks majority of 63 votes and the contest is thus virtually decided.
 MT. Curry did not offer any opposition to the recount.
 The legislative contest will not be heard here, as 1t must go to the state legislature for investigation.

INVESTIGATE THE LYNCHING
IS WHAT THE MEMPHIS GRAND JURY IS
 PREPARING TO DO.

IS WHAT THE MEMPHIS GRAND JURY IS
 PREPARING TO DO.
 MEMPHIS, Sept. 3.-The grand jury met today and began to investigate Friday nights lynching. That body, after secur- ing great number of witnesses, adjourned until tomorrow. Under the law the men in prison have right to bail, and Judge Cooper made the amount s1000, but so far bond has not been made.
 Public feeling against the lynchers runs high. It has been learned that the pro. gramme of the lynching was known by Will Cox and detected by him last week before the lynching occurred. It was his understanding that Detective Richardson was in with the crowd. Charles Cox vis- tied Cuba, near the sceue of the lynching, last week and he, too, heard of what was on the tapis. Both men made these state ments last week, but today they deny them. There is no doubt that they did debate the programme. When this fact iB published it will intensity the feeling against Richardson.

Birmingham's Plucky Boy Rider Vietor-Warren Gets Two Sec
 onds--With the Flyers.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 3.-[Spe- cial. 1.-The bicycle races at the driving park here today were witnessed by fully 4OOO persons. With the exception of the five mile handicap race, which was run by Mr. l.. B. Graham in 13:68, the time made by the various winners was worthy oi no consideration, in fact were run consldera- ply, slower than the usual ,us time for !, between the referee, who, either through poor judgment or some personal interest he may have had in one of the riders, which may have moved him from his line of duty, and the clerk of the course, who was very anxious that full justice be done all contestants, the races would have been much more enjoyable.
 The Chattanoogans, who always take great deal of interest in cycling, crowded the grand stand, which holds between 40o0 and 5000 people. t.
 Birmin ghain' 8 favorite, Ed Warren, Jr. after having run in three races and win ming second places, withdrew and refused to do any more riding on account of the rank decisions of the referee.
 There were several accidents among the riders, but none of them received serious injuries. In the two mile lap race c: L; Taibolt was thrown from his wheel when in the quarter mile stretch and re- ceived slight injuries, which may make him very sore for several days. In the half mile open race Weaver of Toledo, O., fouled Quinn of Atlanta just as they were crossing the tape. Both riders were thrown to the ground with considerable force, each of them receiving minor bruises, while their wheels were com pletely demolished.
 Master Frank Lytle of Birmingham, while being the smallest of the boys in the one mile boys race, came out victorious amid loud cheers from the grand stand, who were delighted to see the plucky fel- low from the Magic City do up his oldest and much larger competitors.
 The following is list of events and winners:
 Quarter of a mile, open-Weaver won, Warren second, Talbot third. Time, 0:34.
 Half mile, open-Weaver won, Warren second, Quinn second. Time, 1:11.
 One mile-Weaver won, Quinn second, Warren third. Time, 2:55.

WANT THE OLD PRICES.

FALL RIVER, Mass. Sept. 3.-The card CTS at the Globe yarn mill, where was posted the somewhat unsatisfactory notice that the mills would run, have decided not to return to their work unless the old rates of wages are paid. The carders' strike at these mills shut them down during the first week of the cut down. The spinners will probably not return to work unless old prices are paid.
