In years to come when people of the
urasent day shall have become the
oldest inhabitants" they will tell
generations yet unborn of the cold
wave Of 1899. All previous weather
records for the state have been smash
Cd into kindling wood by the present
cold spell which swooped down on the
district Saturday night, reaching its
,.verest point early Sunday morning.
Reports from all portions of the
stats indicate the coldest weather ever
experienced. At Admission ID degrees
F below zero was recorded while Selma,
Montgomery, Goodwater, Opelika and
many other points report from 5 to 10 de,
ress below. The coolest weather ever
experienced in the state was recorded
several years ago at Valley Head in the
extreme northern portion, when 8 de-
rees below was reached. For twenty
seven years the lowest previous record
at Montgomery was 10 degrees above
on January %, 1897.
At Birmingham the thermometer
registered 10 degrees below zero, the
lowest temperature ever recorded in
that city.
AtAnniston the coldest weather ever
known in that section came Saturday
hight Daniel Chapman, colored,
troze to death in his bed at Oxford,

At Mobile the mercury registered l
degree below zero, 12 degrees lower
than the weather bureau record for
twenty. nine years ago. The truck
props were killed, entailing large
|loss. 5,-.t.#s

The thermometer dropped to 7 de.
rees below zero at Opelika. A regu-

STOCK TRAFFIC.
Its Decrease q Source of Concern to
Railroad officials.

Northern Pacific freight officials re-
gard with sonE2 concern the heavy traffic
in stock from the Western ranges dur
ing the pass three years. Conditions are
such that With the shipping business as
strong as az present, there is no doubt
but that bef6fe 1900 the large herds Of
the Western ranges will become thing
of the past. Until a few years ago the
annual shipment of stock from the
ranges to st. Paul, Kansas City and
Chicago markets amounted to between
lZo,CC and 10000 head annually. For the
past two years the shipments have not
gone above between &C, 300 and 10000 head
These facts bring the outcome of the
present conditions forcibly to the atten-
ton of freight men. Cold winters have
contributed largely to decreasing the
stock on the ranges and the shipments to
the stock markets have been so heavy
that they have absorbed more than the
annual supply. So serious has the out
look become that this year stockmen IN
North Dakota and Montana have placed
orders with Texas stockmen for cattle to
1eplenlsh their herds General Freight
Agent Moore, of the Northern Pacific.
says of the cattle business.
High prices have caused an unusually
heavy annual shipment in the past few
years. Sales cannot continue so heavy
without completely wiping out all The
Vised of purchases by Western cattle
men of orders of one and two-year-olds
from Texas to furnish a supply for the
future. One stockman has ordered II. 600
head for delivery this fall. Another has
placed an order for 10000 head, and we
are advised of several orders of 5000 and
5000 each In addition to these, smaller
orders aggregating 10000 head have been
placed.
Present cattle rates have done much
to deplete the herds, and the stockrnen
find their herds cannot produce sufi-
cient cattle annually to meet the de-
mand without encroaching on their orig
inal supply herds. Even taking into con-
sideration the fact that tremendous pur-
chases of one and two-year-oIds have
been made from Texas TO 'ripen,' as the
c&ttIemen say, on the ranges, by 1900 it
is safe to say that the large herds will
be seriously diminished. There Will come
time before long when the cattlemen
will be obliged to stop shipments for q
time, in order to give their herds time
to multiply again and restock :neir

COMPARISON OF ENGINES.
Test of American and English Loco
motives to be Made.

A test of absorbing interest to American
and British locomotive builders is about
to be made in England on the Midland
railway. The test arises cut of a COM
plant against the directors of the Mid
land railway for sending to America or
ders for goods and engines which British
firms are unable TO turn out within a.
given time. AS soon as all the American
engines are erected they will be placed
on regular duty in comparison with a.
like number of British built engines of
approximately equal power, and after a
heightened period of test the results will
be fairly and impartially compared. H
A. WATT, locomotive tendent Of
the Great Northern railway (England),
has been examining American engines,
and says he cannot find any important
part that ought not to last-as long or
nearly as long as those on the British
engines.
