STILL NO TIDlNGS
Of the Steamer La Gascogne-0ther Vessels Come Over the Same Route, But See Noth-
 ing of Her.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Another day has gone by and still no news of the overdue steamship La Gascogne has been received. The arrival of the Teutonic today with thrilling stories of tempestous gales and no news of the French liner increases the ap' pIehension. The French ship is now one week overdue and dozen vessels have passed over the track she should follow without sighting her. Agent Fourget is still confident that nothing more serious than a Arrangement of her machinery, combined with bad weather. is responsible for the delay, but friends and relatives of the pas sengers are becoming seriously alarmed as to the ships safety. In shipping circles generally there is some apprehension due to the Knowledge that a ship with broken shaft, or disabled machinery. is ia pre- carious condition in such gales as have swept the north Atlantic during the past three days. There is possibility that one of the other overdue steamers may have fallen in with the La Gascogne and is stand ing by to give Der line when the weather subsidies.
 La Normandie of the same line left Havre last Saturday afternoon and IS due here to- morrow. She will pass directtly over the course followed by La Gascogpe. The lat- ter is most likely south of the regular course, and her sister ship may come Ia without seeing her. La Gascogne was booked to sail from New York today. Her passengers and freight will be carried by La Normandie of the same line next We'd nesday.
 La Touraine, also of the French line. is on her way from this port to the Mediter- ranean with tourists, and will undoubtedly go out of her way to look for La Gasgogne. If the missing ship is af1oat she will have plenty of assistance, and may be heard of at the zores, at Halifax or at Havre or at this port at any hour.
 Agent Fourget said today: s'We are still confident and believe that La Gasgogne will outride the storm, for she is stannch vessel. It is not remarkable that dis abled boat should be delayed seven days If such weather prevails.
 "Captain Cameron, on the Teutonic, re- ports one of the worst storms that he has ever met, prevailing since last Monday. The Umbria was delayed four days when her shait.broke. All the other vessels com- ing in are over twenty-four hours behind time.p

RAILROAD RACKET.

As has lbeen the case since the present weather set in, the passenger and freight trains on nearly all the roads were late again yesterday afternoon. However, the delay in a majority of cases was less yesler- day than the preceding day.
 MORE IMMIGRANTS.
 Yesterday afternoon on the Louisville and Nashville south bound passenger train were number of northern homeseekers. The Queen aud Crescent also carried D number Two or three of them got off here, while the others went further south. During the past week there have been no less than fifty northern home- seekers who have stopped off in Birming- ham to get glimpse of the Magic City and her surroundings. They have nearly all been pleased and a number will probably settle near here on the Louisville and Nashville.
 GENERAL MENTION.
 MT. J. R. McGregor, travelling passen- ger agent of the Queen and Crescent, is in Chattanooga. The many friends of P. Sid Jones of the Louisville and Nashville, who has been quite ill for the past week, will be pleased to know that he is some better.
 Mr. A. M. Byrum, travelling freight agent of the Big Four, with headquarters in Chattanooga, is in the city.
 Mir. W. P. Adams, travelling freight agent of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmipgham has returned to the city.

sent of parliament is not without dangers, but In this instance it would be put to pur- pose which would be truly beneficial. 5till if a general election supervenes and Lord Salisbury is returned to power, the treaty might fail to the ground. Lord Salisbury is so little in sympathy with the matter that tho original resolution passed by the American congress was not even presented to parliament. If Lord Rosebery continues in power the treaty is safe. Of course, If the final form of the treaty contains any vote of public money it must be referred to parliament.o
 In the general discussion of the crcum- stances Of the sinking of the Elbe leading shipping journal holds that an important point has been overlooked. The Elbe was probably steamiug at the rate of sixteen miles an hour, and there is nothing to show that her steam was shut eff at the moment of the collision. If her rate of speed was kept up for a quarter of an hour after the collision she must have run three or four miles from the spot where the Crathie struck her. The Crathie was going in the same direction as the Elbe and consequently at the time of the actual sinking the ships must have been con- siderable distance apart. The papers con tend that there is no evidence of lack of discipline 6n board the Elbe, and draws attention to the grave defects in the rules of the road, which have not been remedied by the conference at Washington.

CHESAPEAKE BAY.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 9.-This city Is snowbound today. The morning train to Odenton, connecting with the Baltimore and Potomac, was caught fast in q snow- drift three miles from Annapolis ard three engines were unable to pull the cars out. No more trains will leave Annapolis today. The damage done on the Chesa- peake bay and ts tributaries by the storm is very great. Eorthpoint and the Kent island shore are strewn with wrecked oyster boats and loss of life Is feared. The heavy snow, wind and almost unprece- dented formation of ice cut off from all succor the smaller craft caught in the blizzard. and their crews, unprovided with fuel and food for the wintery siege, are suffering many hardships. The ice boat Latrobe started out this morning to relieve distressed vessels and rescue crews from disabled or sinking oyster boats. The gale that swept the bay yesterday, according to Captain Carter, who has for forty years sailed ou the Chesapeake, was the worst he has ever experienced. Ice was every where, the cold was bitter and the wind was so strong that man could not stand on tho decks of the Latrobe. The pilot house, 30 feet above water, was swept by the seas and clouds of freezing spray swept through the vessel.

HAD A ClNCH.
Couldn't Tell Funny Stories, but Knew a
 Trick Worth Two of That.


 A drummer, as tho word drummer is understood in these piping times of peace, Is man who tells you funny story and incidentally takes your order for goods. A faculty of making himself 'solid" with his customers socially is one of the most valuable features of successful drummer's equipment. The commercial traveller is O hail fellow well met wherever he goes. There arc houses whose trade is so firmly established and its hold upon their patrons so strong that their goods sell themselves almost, and the solicitor has very little so- lciting to do. But even with houses of this character smooth tongue and ready wit count for much.
 Occasionally there is man who departs from the old lines, inyents a method of his own and makes q great success of it.
 What has become of that man Jones who used to travel for you9" asked ono Randolph streot jobber of another tho other day. q suppose he has gone off the road always thought he never would make 0 success of it. He was too chilly. q He was the chilliest man ever saw"
 'Theros just where you're wroDg," re- piled the other jobber, who deals in lin- seed oil. He was the most successful travelling man ever knew. When he was on the road, he kept Us jumping to fill his orders. The only reason he isn't travel ing for us today is that another house of fered him good deal bigger salary than we were willing to pay, and he is repre- senting tho other house now. He was very chilly as you say. He was that way with everybody, his customers included. He never had word to say to them about politics and couldn't tell funny story if he tried He never talked anything but oil. As soon as he got an order he walked out and never tried to conceal the fact that that was all he had come for. Yet his customers thought he was the best friend they had in the world.
 This is how he did it. As a cold bloed ed business proposition he decided that the strongest hold he could get on man would be bold on his pccketbook. He left the other drummers to do the anus ing part of it, but he studied the oil mar ket. He seemed besides to have an intu- ition about the fluctuations of prices which was almost prophetic When he saw that oil was about to go up, he sat down and telegraphed to all his customers, Buy oil They followed his advice, and in nine cases out of ten they saved lot of money by it. It only took few experiences like this to convince them that it was a serious mistake to buy oil of anybody else. He was hardly solicitor at all. When he told man to buy, he bought. "-Chicago Tribune

AS TO GIANTS.
For Some Reason the Big Fellows Are Not
 Long Lived.

For Some Reason the Big Fellows Are Not
 Long Lived.
 As rulo, giants are not long lived. They have too many gantlets to run. Being qiants-tLat being anything over feet G-they naturally drift into the show business and are thcnceforth incarceratcd in vans, close rooms and in the dingy and effluyia laden air of the exhibition room. Their not overresisting lungs here inhale the combined effiuvia and aroma that ariso from the lungs, skin and not oyerclean or over well aired clothes of their many ad- mirers, all of which is not conducive to either health or to long life.
 It would seem reasonable to believe that a giant-be he 2 or 10 feet tall-who is well formed, and who has every organ in just proportion to his bulk, should live as long as a small man or as long as his heredity might otherwise permit. Reason ing theoretically, this would seem proba- ble, but when we come to well annlyze tho subject md compare tho actual facts we find that something or other always goes wrong, and that, owing to many an if, we find that our giant dies early, as rule Some enc organ goes wrong, and the great machine comes to stop, or some organ does not keep pace with the rest of the in- crease in bulk, and he goes halting and squcaky, or either an oyerwork or an un- derwork here or there, and physiological inadequacy of some sort is the result, with a general deterioration of the whole struc- ture and with finally premature death.
 In otherwords, there is sure to be fail ing link in tho physiological scheme of these abnormal beings which, by giving way, breaks the continuity of tho chain of life, and that independent of any of those moral delnqroncics which are but too off, ten tho cause of an early breakdown. It is simply that tho whole structure would not |eossls -ssAlssHaessssaeny -in every detail.-Na- tional Popular Review.

A ROLL OF HONOR
Of Members of House of Represent atives Who Voted Against House Bill No. s21, Better Known as the Southern Railroad
 Octopus


 The following members of the house Of representatives cast their votes against the iniouitous measure which was worked through the house last Friday by small majority. All honor to the servants of the people, be they democrats or populists, who manfully breasted the storm of South ern railroad lobbyites and cast their bal lots in the interest of their state and con- stitution:
 Here is the list of democrats: Boykin, of Russell, Cameron, Fletcher, Frank lin, Fulton, John, Lipscomb, Naples, Mayfield, Meador, Medous, Moore, 0'Brien, Perry, Rabb, Rand, Robbins, Rodgers, Rowe, Scale, Smith of Greene, and Wood-25. Populists-Banks, Barron, ,, Beeson Bellinger, Burks, Ford, Foreman, !, Gibbons, Graves, Langley, Mahan, M ills, Savage-13. Total nays, 38 ayes 14.
 Great credit is due Mir. Robert Coleman of Marshall county for good work during the progress of this interesting fight rom start to finish. He was unavoidaby ao- sent at the death struggle, otherwise bis vote would have been cast on the side or the people.
 One interesting feature was the abuse three pop members were heaping upon an offending brother, who, 1t appears, had promised to vote for the bill, but when 1t came to the pinch failed to answer, yet when the hour arrived to receive the mess of pottage walked up to the captains office and stuck sugar in his'n.' young candidate for very higb office on the "pop'' ticket last August is now re gretting that he did not name figuie something like 5000 instead of goo, the price agreed on for his political in- fluence. The price accepted indicates the fellows value. A desire to se- cure office often increases man 8 interest," in measures that would otherwise suggest opposition. Poor weak mortal, his mendacities are often to be deplored rather than condemned. Thus endeth the first chapter.
 The genial Reuben deserves commenda- tion for his straightforward effort to defeat this attempt to trample on the rights of the people. Se could have feathered his nest if he had Been so disposed.

SELMA SETTINGS.
A Small Blaze-Lucius Williams Misses the Gallows-Colonel Lea's Lecture Postponed-A
 Shocking Death.

SELMA, Feb. 9.-[Special. Fire was dis covered n the stable of Mrs. J. Simon on North street at 4 o'clock this morning and an alarm was turned in quickly, but only one company, the Phenix No. l, turned out. The weather was miserably cold, and the firemen found the hydrants frozen up. After some delay stream was gotten on the flames, but not until small cottage adjoining the stable had caught.
 The roof of the cottage was burned off and the contents saturated with water. The stock and vehicles were removed from the stable before 1t was destroyed. Loss about $500.
 The jury in the case of Lucias Williams, charged with the murder of Willie Lewis, brought in verdict of guilty at late hour last night and placed the penalty at twenty five years in the penitentiary. The jury was out twenty-four hours. Williams seemed relieved when the verdict was read to him.
 The murder was most brutal one.
 Williams and Willie Lewis were perfectly friendly and no difficulty, as far as known |, was between them at the time of the shoot- ing. Lewis was sitting in front of keipp' s restaurant, on Washington street, on Friday morning, September 24, talking to number of other boys. Williams came up to the crowd and |, without warning, drew a pistol, took de- iioclhbc dlIu duu uIcd, tuo Ddil ph5oiu z, through Lewis' head, and causing death three minutes later. Immediately after firing the fatal shot Williams ran through a drug store next door and jumpedin a eel lar opening to the rear or the store. He was discovered and arrested fifteen minutes later, and had laid in jail ever since. Will lie Lewis, the murdered boy, was F years of age.
 Col. Sumpter Lea of Birmingham reached the city yesterday and was welcomed at the passenger station by delegation ofCon- rederate veterans and number of friends. The purpose of Colonel Lea's visit to his old home is to deliver his eloquent lecture, "Philosophy of the South.'' On account of the extreme cold weather the lecture was postponed from last night until Tuesday night next, aud Colonel Lea has kindly consented to remain over until then The lecture is for the benefit of CamI Jones, Confederate Veterans, and the La dies Memorial association.

EXCITED LITTLE INTEREST.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-The news that the English man, Rickard, had been sentenced at Honolulu to death for his part in the last revolution does not seem to have ex- cited the slightest interest at the British foreign office. Most of the chiefs of divi- sions in the office were absent from their posts today, and will not return until Mon day The officials on duty this afternoon apparently had not heard that Riekard was in trouhle
