NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 8.-The five races carded for today were run ia a drizzly rain, which prevailed throughout the afternoon. There was no danger ot any track records being broken, as the ssea of mud' phrase apty explains the condition of the track, and it was good start and bottom which told against the g O day runners.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT. William Jackson, Engineer at the
 Selma Water Works,
MEETS A HORRIBLE DEATH
Steam Valve Blows Off, Ere ak ing His Neck and Skull.
 Gen. Nelson'S Denial.
AGE- HERALD BCEEAU,0
 SELMA. Jan. 8.

SELMA. Jan. s. ] William Jackson, day engineer at the Selma Water Works company's pumping station, on Selma street, was instantly killed a few minute after 6 o'clock this morning by steam valve blowing off of a stationary boiler. He was alone at the station when the accident happened, and a moment after the explosion his lifeless body was found between the boiler and the wall of the boiler room. His neck was broken and his skull crushed He was evidently in the act of turning the steam from the main battery of boilers to tue emergency boiler when the explosion occurred. When the night engineer left there was eighty pounds of steam on the main battery and fifteen pounds on the emergency boiler. The accident was caused by the unthought- edness of Jackson in turning so heavy a pressure on the cold boiler so suddenly.
 The body of the unfortunate man was conveyed to his home at 8 o'clock. His wife was prostrated by the news of his death. He leaves DO children. The dam- age to the machinery was very slight.
 THE GENERAL DENIES IT.
 The newspaper reports stating that Gen. R. NJ. Nelson, president of the Commer- cial bank of Selma, had been elected presi- dent ot the Alabama National created con- siderable excitement here this morning.
 General Nelson was seen by the AGE- HERALD representative this afternoon and asked as to his acceptance of the position. The general smiled and said: "Ihere isn't word of truth in it. The board of dire ctors did not meet until noon today, and if was elected have not been notified of it.''
 From an intimate friend of General Nell son it was learned that tue presidency of the Alabama National was offered him some time since, but he declined to accept. This will be good news to the citizens Of Selma. Selma cannot afford to lose him.

A WISE SUGGESTION.

WAsHINaToN, Jan. 8.-The senate c om- mittee on interstate commerce today con- sidered the railroad bill. A letter was re- ceiveG from Com missioner Morrison of the interstate commerce commission callin 2 attention to certain defects in the measure. When the bill was discussed ill the house a statement was made that it provided that railroads could fix their own rates, but these rates should not become operative until submitted to the commission. The same discussion also led to the conclusion that the commission had been given ample safe- guards and complete supervision of the matter. This contention MT. Morrison disputes, and says the bill, as now framed, , gives the comn ission supervisor only after the railroads have agreed upon their rates He desires that amendments should be added that will give the commission that thorough control which the necessity of the case requires. The committee ordered a favorable report on the house bill known as the commercial travelers' bill.

 WASH INaToN, Jan. 8.-Secretary Her bert today issued general orders to naval officers reversing the former practice of the department regarding the responsibility of pilots on board warships, which will rem der i. impossible hereafter to shift the blame for injury to a vessel on the pilot, as was made in the case Of the Columbia last spring and the Cincinnati last November. The order is as follows:
 "The accident to the United States steamer Cincinnati upon the occasion of her striking ground on the eastern side of the shoals to the south and west of Execu- tion Rocks light house Long Island sound, on the 18th day of November last, renders 1t expedient that the department promui- gate to the service its views with regard to the responsibility of pilots on board ves- sels from the navy.
 "A pilot Is to be considered merely as an advisor to the commanding officer, and his presence on board naval vessel shall not felease the commanding officer of such ves- sel or any of his subordinates from full re- sponsbility for the proper performance of their duties in connection with the navi- gation of vessels.

THE PRESENT SESSION OF THE FRENCH
 CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
 PARIS, Jan. S.-Paris newspapers agree in the prophecy that the session of the French chambsr of deputies of 1895, which began today, will be stormy and sventful one. It is expected that NJ.

Gerault Richard, who is now confined in prison for having insulted President Casjmir- Perier.
 NJ. Richard r'sis editor of Chamber, a socialist neR- was elected to the chamber of deputies a few days ago to represent the Thirteenth dis rict of Paris. As the liberty of a deputy cannot be re- stricted during the session of the chamber the socialists demand M.
