Washington Forecast

Washington, February 9.-Weather condi- tions and general forecast: The cold wave which has prevailed during the past twelve days in the central valleys west and north west has finally reached the Atlantic coast, and extends from Maine to Florida. This morning the line of zero temperature ex- tended from Oklahoma to Tennessee. Freezing extended below Tampa, with a minimum temperature of 30 degrees at this place. The temperatures, however, are moderating in the east gulf and south At lantic states and the central Rocky moun- tain region. Fair weather has prevailed with the exception of light snow in the lake regions and extreme northwest, and rain and snow in the west gulf states, the latter being due to a slight depression that is central tonight near the Texas coast In the north and middle plateaus and the north Pacific coast region rains and snows have continued, while clear weather pre- vailed to the southward. The temperature changes in these districts were unimpor- tant. Snow or rain is indicated from eastern Texas northeastward to western North Carolina and East Tennessee.
 Brisk west to north winds may be expect ed on the middle and north Atlantic and fresh to brisk to north to northeast winds on the south Atlantic coast Storm signals are displayed on the gulf at Galveston, Cor pus Christi and Brownsville.

SUPERNUMERARY JUDGE.
Bill Passes the House Creating the Office.

Montgomery, February 9.-(Speeial )-The bill creating a supernumerary judge for | .e state passed the house today. The bill is a merltorious one, and will probably pass the senate.
 The bill gives the supernumerary judge Jurisdiction in all law and equity cases. His duties are to hold court in any circuit of the state, where the judge of such circuit is disqualified by sickness or from any other cause. The governor may also, at his dis erection, order this judge to hold a special term of any court, to cause a speedy trial of any criminal charged with a capital of- fense and whose life is believed to be in danger of mob violence. The office carries a salary of $3,000 per annum.
 Should the bill become a law, the present general. assembly will have very nice po- sition with which to reward some good democrat for faithful party service. The bill provides that the judge shall be elected by a joint ballot of the general assembly, to serve until the next general election when circuit judgS are elected, when he shall be chosen by vote of the people.
 Already there is much speculation about the Hobbies as to probable candidates for

THE WEATHR
Continues Clear and Cold-Slight Mod
 eration Today.

"Clear and cold" with the emphasis on the latter end of the proposition, fairly well expresses the state of Birmingham weather for the past few days, with indications for continuation of same until Monday or course, Weathermaker Jacobs has ordered a full supply of "sunshine' in honor of Rex Vulcan W, who will arrive on that day to open the carnival season. The weather maker has been appointed Astronomer to His Majesty, and is preparing royal edict which he will promulgate on Sunday com- handing Jupiter Pluvius and Old Boreas to hold their peace.
 The temperature early yesterday morning registered IA degrees. At a. m it had risen to q degrees, at 12 had reached 30 degrees, and al p. m. dropped back to 26 above zero.

PEOPLE FREEZING.
Nine Deaths Reported in Illinois and
 Neighboring States.

Chicago, February 9.-Today was the coldest day here in twenty-six years. The low mark in the weather bureaus books, that of December "A, 1S72 was but two de- gres lower than the minimum of 21 degrees blow zero, reached at 8 o'clock in the morning.
 The cold wave fingers consistently over the country, and runs far down to the bor- ders of the gulf states. The area of the Arctic blast covers so wide an expanse of territory that it moves slowly off the con tinent In the far west there is a slight but steady rise in the temperature.
 With the sinking of the sun the mercury again started on it's downward course to the bottom of the shaft and the local fore caster predicted a coldness by tomorrow morning but slightly acute Eighteen be- low zero is high guess for the lowest point.
 Nine deaths from freezing are reported from Illinois and neighboring states as follows:
 H. Buensfeld, Chicago.
 Frank Briebel and George Hamilton, Joliet, III.
 Thomas Keegan, Rockford.
 Henry K. Fortune, Oscaloosa, Ia. Thomas Bridges, Princeton Ky.
 Annie Miller Louisville.
 Unidentified man, Toledo
 Mary Lyme, Henderson, Ky
 Some points on the lines of the MiIwau- kee road give out figures as low as 40 be- low.

MEETING OF WHEELMEN.
The Question of Control of Races Was
 Discussed.

Providence, R. l., February 9.-The great question of the continued control of racing by the League of American Wheelmen came very near being settled in short order and without debate at the meeting today. Only an act of courtesy on the part of the dele gates who are strongly opposed to the giv- ing up of racing allowed the matter to stand, and gave the advocates of the pro- posed amendment to the constitution an opportunity to discuss the matter, which they will do in the morning.
 The regular routine work of the assembly was passed off with remarkable smoothness, with only a short debate on some of the reports and no contest whatever on the offices There is not the slightest doupt that the league will have charge of racing next year, for all that the opponents of the new amendments have to gather is "A votes, and todays meeting, with the west solid in favor of racing, shows that there are nearly ninety negative votes, which leaves the advocates with considerably less than the requisite two-thirds.

COAL FAMINE ON.
< Suffering at Nashville May Become
 Fearful. r,

Nashville, Tenn, February 9.-The in- creased consumption of coal, caused by the continued fearfully cold weather and inabfI- ity of Kentucky mines to furnish coal, the coal supply in this city being chiefly oba tained in Kentucky, have caused a coal famine, and the outlook is most serious. ?
 No dealer will promise coal before next week, manufacturing establishments are closing down, the public schools have scarcely a weeks supply on hand and the city has but scant supply at the water works pumping station. Unless many train loads are received tomorrow, the suffering which is already great, will become fearful All day the temperature has stood near zero and tonight Is below zero and falling. Coal shortages are reported from many surrounding towns.

Houston, Tex, February 1.-Two days ago the secretary of war ordered that work be suspended on the Port Arthur canal which will give the Kansas City. Pittsburg and Gulf railroad harbor at Port Arthur, near Sabine Pass. This order has provoked a protest from the citizens of east Texas, which was today wired to Congressman Cooper and to Secretary Alger. Both houses of the legislature also adopted resolution requesting congressman to at once inquire into the reason for the order and to have the same revoked at the earliest possible moment.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.
Florida Freeze Will Not Amount to
 Much.

Jacksonville, Fla, February 9.-The se- verest cold wave of the season covered Florida last night and today. In the northern part of the Orange Belt the range of the mercury was from 26 to 34 degrees. Only the young spring growth on the orange trees was injured and "drone," or useless bloom made to fall. Truckers suf- fered some loss upon crops of beans, let tuce and tomatoes. Strawberries were par tially hurt.
 Ample warning by the weather bureau enabled the truckers and orange growers generally to take precautions for protection. Pineapples were not hurt.

The Birmingham charter bill passed the lower branch of the general assembly yes- terday afternoon without a dissenting vote.

DULLEST THING IS
  THE CITY CAMPAIGN
Legislative Questions Absorbing
 Public Attention.
THE FIGHT HAS NOT OPENED
Good Feeling Prevails-Mayoralty Aspi- rants Oficiate Side by Side in Swell Wedding-No Public Announce
 ments for Aldermen.

The only dull thing about Birmingham just now is the contest for the mayoralty of the city. In fact, 1t could scarcely be called a contest at the moment. Although the three candidates remain in the city and are conducting personal camgaign, matters may be said to be at a standstill. Alder man Parker, Alderman Drennen and Hon. Ross c. Smith "seeing men;" but that Is all there is in it. They are working steadily and faithfully enough, but 1t is with public that Is almost indifferent.
 Other Issues on the Mind SIS
 The Moody liquor dispensary bill, the bill for abolishing the Jefferson county com missioners' court and the bill for the con- solidation of Greater Birmingham, all three of which are now pending in the legislature at Montgomery. absorb public attention to the exclusion of the very important ques tion as to who shall be the next mayor of Birmingham. This may or may not be fortunate situation; but fortunate or unfor- tunate, it must be of short duration. With in the next ten days the work of the pres ent general assembly for good evil will have ended, and local matters will have as- stunned their normal level, to be followed by what, prospectively will be very lively race for the mayoralty of Birmingham. The contest is not yet fully defined; the lines cannot be said to be very distinctly marked. But there are lively times ahead.
 Good Feeling Prevails
 The canvass has so far progressed in the kindliest of good spirits and it is likely to be kept at that praiseworthy level On Wednesday night, for example, two of the three candidates were groomsmen in the largest society wedding of the season, and they approached the chancel of the church together; a happy evidence of the friendly spirit which pervades the present municipal contest. l
 Yesterday no one of the three candidates had word to say for newspaper publica- tion. There was nothing new" Report CTS were sorry that their statement to this effect was quite accurate. There was in reality nothing new"
 The contest for membership of the city council is attracting surprisingly little at tention. There are no regularly authorized announcements of any candidates for all dermen, or even for mayor, as to that matter. In Montgomery there are two candidates for mayor, and the announce ments of themselves of candidates for al- dermen fill a half column in the local newspapers. But in Birmingham neither mayoralty or aldermanic candidates seem to care whether the public is informed to their ambitions.
 It is a curious spectacle-men running for local offices and being afrad of publishing the fact in the newspapers

Visiting In Jefferson

On Wednesday they visited the Sloss mines in Jefferson county and the Corona, in Walker county. And yesterday they spent at Greenville, Miss, where they inspected the tipple and the barge fleet. To an Age-Herald reporter the planters expressed themselves as much pleased with their trip and with the excellent quality of the Alabama coal. They are large buyers something like 75,0OO tons per year. The probability is that their next seasons sup ply will be purchased here instead of in Pittsburg.

They Led tho Fight

The fight on the charter has been led by Attorney J. M. Faulkner of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, also representing the Southern Bell Telephone company, and Attorney John P. Tillman for the Birming- ham Gas company. On behalf of the Louis- vile and Nashville Col Faulkner objected to provisions in the charter which empow- cred the city council to force the switch yards out of the business portion of town. The charter provided that the board of al- dermen could extend Nineteenth and other streets right on across the railroads, and requiring 1agmen at each crossing It was contended that if carried out this provision would force the railroads to move their referring to this matter was secured, the railroads contendng that they owned the property before the city obtained it. The clause is left substantially as it was in the old charter.
 Gas Company Lost
 Attorney Tillman obtained no compromise in favor of the Gas company, and that clause empowering the city to regulate the price of gas, electric lights, water and tele- phones went through the house as first written. There are no other changes, the bill remaining substantially as it was re- ported in the Age-Herald several days ago.
 Mayor Evans, who went to Montgomery Wednesday afternoon to attend meeting on the city charter, returned on the mid night train Wednesday night.
