Notice to Shippers.

Office of Commercial Agent,
Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. 25, 1897.
It has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance OF
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seaboard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight Or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tinatiOn in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritOries, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
H. 81 T. G. aud Southern Pacific; M. X.

This does not in any way effect
| freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan Line steamers and Sunset route,
as same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise

The war departing Mt of Great Britain
has cabied an invitation to visit to w.
S. Ashton of Melbourne, Victoria, the
inventor of the Ashton magaz ne rifle
and which, according to the claims
made for it, is a wonderful improve

report received from the minister of
defense of Victoria, Rt. Hon. Villa N
MCCULLOUGH, and which contains full
data of a number of tests made under
the aus pices of the govern ment by a
board e army officers, the Ashton
rifle is long advance on all existing
similar weapons OF defense, especially
making higher percentage OF bulls
eyes and larger number of hits and
extraordinary rapidity in firing. 1t is
presumed that the object OF the gov

THAT SUNDAY LAW.
Several Employees of Saloonists Were Arrested
 Sunday

Austin Brothers, Eugene Fleming, Robert Harris Matt Tibbs, Isaiah Payne, w. L. Logwood and c. A. Bowers, all att .tachees of local saloons, were arrested Sunday morning by Officer Scott on a charge of working on Sunday.
 Their offense was the securing and cleaning of their respective houses dur ing the wee sma hours of the Sabbath morn.
 It has been the custom of saloonkeep- CTS in Birmingham to keep their porters at work after closing at midnight on Sat urdays. This has been indulged in for a number of years.
 Several of the managers said yester- day that they had received no warning, no intimation of the intention of the authorities.
 When the facts were brought out yes- terday morning, Judge Feagin held up his decision. He did not desire to render verdict that would work a hardship.
 It is said that the saloonkeepers are very indignant over the action of the police and will have meeting Wednes- day night to formulate plans of de- fense. Calls have been sent to the dif- ferent proprietors to be present.
 It is hinted that they will demand the arrest of the employees of all establish ments keeping open on Sunday.

ON ITS ELEGANT NEW HOME
Will Decide in Few Days Whether It Will Repair the Present Building or
 Erect New One.

The Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph company will in the nsxt twenty days begin work preparatory to moving into its new quarters on Second avenue, opposite The Age-Herald office.
 The company recently purchas.d ths lot next to the government builedrg, on which there Is at present. a two-story brick building One of the chisfs of the construction department was in the city and made thorough examination of the present building in order to alscelt in the repairs necessary to put. it in condition for the use of the Birmingham ex- change. He found that an expenditure of several thousand dollars would be neceseary to make the place adaptable. The officers of the company are unde- cided whether Ito spend that amount OF money in repairing the old building or to tear It down and erect a handsome modern structure, which they would otherwise do few years Aater. This qusstion is now being considered by the directors, and it is believed tha't they will decide to put up a new building
 The matter will be acted upon within the next few days.
 In either event., work win begin on Dec. on outside construction, and with dtn sthe next few months the Birmingham Telephone exchange will be in its new home.
 MT. Woodruff, the local manager, was seen yesterday, and in regard to the license tax of $1 for every phone which was levied by the city council, said: We have app aled the case to higher court, and in the event that we lose the case in that court it is probable that we will carry dt higher. The license is ex- orbitant and is out of all reason with licensa charged other business. We feel that it is an injustice and are simply asking for our rights"

THE JOURNEY OF A BOTTLE.
An Incident of Pleasure Trip By Party of Birmingham People.

An incident of a recent New York trip, by patty eff Birmingham people aboard the steamship City of Birmingham, was pleasantly recalled yesterday.
 The party included MT. and Mrs. Harry S.nnige, Miss McCrossin, Messrs. Shook Rogan, Jacobs, Newins, Ramsey and sev- era1 others, were enjoying lunch on the deck of steamer on the evening of Sept. IS.
 At the time tlha steamer was founding Cape HIaitteras, and one of the party proposed that a card be enclosed in a botile and thrown overboard
 It its useless to say that bottle was not hard to find, and accordingly MT Sinnige took out one of his cards and wrote the following inscr.ption upon it.:
 Off HaItterias, Sept. IS, 3 p. m., s. S. City of Birmingham Whoever picks
 up this bottle wall confer favor to
 advise me when and where picked
 up. STNNlGE.
 On the reverse side of tin. card was Mir. S.nnige's address. The card WAS placed in the bottle, which was then cor'ked and scaled and wIas cast over board by one of tfts lady members of the party It was watched till it was lost to sight and had almost passed from the memory of the party, when yesterday MT. Sdnnlge received the following qelt- ter:
 Amltyvilsa, N. r., Nov. 4, 1S97 MT Harry S.nnige, Dear (ir:-The en- closed dard was picked up by me at Zack's Inlet on Nov. 1, and I forward the same to you as per request
 MELVILLE AUSTIN, zack's Inlet L. s. Sta'tidn Amityville, l.. l., NY.
 The bottle had b en tossed about forty fhree days and had drifted nearly 700 miles from the point where it had been thrown into the ocean. It evidently drffted into the gulf stream, which car- ried it on it's long journey to Zack's h. let Life Saving Station.
