Several bridges are said to be down and the track in places is completely washed away. The track is very fiat and low and 1t is claimed that 1t will be able to be "crihbed" up much quicker than would be the case if there were entertainments.
 The Pensacola Division seems to have had a tough experience also. and yes- terday was the first time that regular trains have been run since, the storm. A passenger who came up from there last night said that the damage thets z was pretty heavy. especially on, the water front. One man alone, he ,-said, who owned a fish house and several fishing smacks lost about $12.000. sev- eral of his boats having been sunk and turned over.
 Passengers coming in on last nights s trains said Mobile had had a rough experience.
 Water" said one gentleman. was nearly waist deep in the Union Depot and extended about a block up town. The scene was a wild one. The wind was blowing 50 miles an hour with the rain coming down in sheets. Every now and then on the railroad tracks could be seen locomotives standing In the flood. The water had put out the fire in their fireboxes and of course they were useless"

 1 have been a specialist for 20 years. which time has been devoted exclusively to the treatment of chronic diseases. l have treated more cases than any other physician and my patients feS!de m every State of the Onion.
 I have treated thousands Of cases, and cured them promptly, which had been un- der various kinds of treatment for years. Every case which comes to me l find re- Quires some special attention which DO ready made medicine can reach, and this explains why a cure cannot be expected from patent medicines.

I study carefully every case, and treat 1t on it's individual merits. l use no ready made medicines. and warn you against the folly of experimenting with so called free" samples, many of which are noth- ing more than poisonous and injurious stimula uts.
 If you are afflicted with any chronic disease such as Bladder and Kidney Dis eases Blood Poison. Rheumatism, Ca tarrh Varicocele Structure. Lost Man hood etc, you owe 1t to yourself to take only the best treatment. which Is always the cheapest in the end.

Commissioners of Clay County
 Award a Contract.

Ashland. Aug. 16.-(speciaD-Com- missioners' Court has been in session fer several days and during this ses- sioy let the contract for a steel bridge over Hillabee Creek near Millerville in this county.
 With about four railroads trying to get into this city two of them having had their lines surveyed) the people believe that there will be railroad to this section within the next twelve months. It seems that there Is no question as to there being money ip it to any railroad that gets to this county. Besides the agricultural pro- ducts, there is vast mineral wealth here. Conservative estimates place the value of the pyrites in this cornry aicne at ten million dollars. Besides this, there is an immense amount of non ore, gold and graphite. A graphite mine is run in this county, the daily output being about 5000 to 4,0O0 pounds

Your correspondent has conversed with a number of citizens and he has yet 10 find one who favors the election of Solicitors by the Legislature.

The people want a ConstitI- tion that will he ratified by larger majority than that hy which the Con- vention was called. The people are yet ot be heard from In this matter. The exigencies of the hour demand that a Constitution he framed that can be ratified. without any means that be be characterized as "ways that ere dark and tricks that are vain"

NEWS FROM COUNTRY.
Crops Were Not Greatly Damaged
 by the Storm.

The damage to crops and property from the storm Thursday night and early yestel day morning in this imme- diate section was very slight. consid- ering the severity of the wind and the heavy rains. Forum tely. the growing crops were just in the proper condition to stand the blow and rains, and beyond little bending of the cotton stalks there was little damage to crops. The fodder is off of the corn, and the stalks are standing. Some young corn was blown down, but that does not figure in the main crop.
 The winds blew down big barn on the plantation of Mir. George H. Todd, on the Ware Ferry Road, and killed one mule. hadly hurting two others.
 MT. Hal T. Walker went out on this road yesterday afternoon and reports no other damage of note. He says the crops are not hurt. because they hap pened to be just in a right fix to take the blow and the water.

Trains All Delayed.

The Mobile train on the Southern, due here this morning, cannot be heard from. The wires are down below Thomasville and nothing has been heard from the train. Superintendent Foracre, not being able to get any in- formation, left at an early hour on a special for Thomasville to find out what the trouble was. It Is probable that a washout has occurred below Thomas vile, and the wires being down its exact location could not be told. There was TO trouble on the Western between here and Montgomery and The Adver- tser, giving an account of the great storm on the Gulf sold rapidly. and by o'clock it was impossible to ob- tain a paper for love or money.

 Resolutions advocating State and municipal printing offices were adopted.
 A proposition to condemn The Mont gomery Advertiser for its alleged an- tagonism to the Typographical Union. instructing the Montgomery local 10 declare The Advertiser unfair, and proper resolution concerning the SUD- ject, was endorsed.
 A resolution was adopted after some discussion requiring each local to eet up subscription blanks for circul4tion amongst the members for voluntary subscriptions for the steel workers strike. It was at first proposed to as sess each member 10 cents a week for twelve consecutive weeks for this pur- pose, but this failed to carry.
 The Committee on the Chinese Ex- clusion act recommended the adoption | by the Congress of the United states l law which will exclude not only Chi- nese but Japanese and Malays. Dele gate Randalow of Cleveland spoxe against the proposition. He spoke or | slavery as seen in this section or tne country. Delegate Phillips Of Mempns said he would not submit to any sucn reflection upon this part of the country. He said that this was gathering oi free Americans, not of Anarchists. he declared that there was no such thing as slavery" in the South, and oe- nounced the Statement of Delegate Bandalow as false.

Thursday Nights Storm.

The tail-end of the great Gulf storm passed over Selma last night, and while no great damage was done to property the cotton crop was considerably in-
 iured. The wind blew all night long, and cotton, which just now Is loaded
 with fruit, was beaten and thrashed around the stalks were twisted and large spaces were left between the stalks and the ground. A good many of the young roots were thus broken loose from the stalk. and it Is thought that shedding will set in soon as the
 ground dries out. The rain poured Tn
 torrents all night long. but no great
 damage has been reported from the
 surrounding country.
 of Selma arose, theY found the streets
 literally covered with limbs and leaves.
 Here and there a tree was blown across the sidewalk, and roofs were
 blown off of some houses covered With
 tin, but the damage Is comparatively
 light.
 During the storm, however. the
 steam pile driver in the middle of the Alabama, went to the bottom of the river. The boat on which the pile driver was anchored was constructeo of rough lumber and was 25x4O rect It is estimated that the boat and ma chinery on 1t was worth about $2,000.
 The machinery can doubtless be raised and put on another boat, but the boat
 will be a total loss, as it will probably
 fill with sand when it gets on the bot tom, making it impossible to raise 1t. The sinking of the pile-driver will de- lay the work of putting down the foun- dation for the main pier. Active steps
 will be taken to raise the machinery or get new engine, and in the course
 of a week the work of putting down
 the pi,ing will he resumed as if noth- | ing had occurred.
 The Government snag boat, Twining
 is anchored in the river here, and the authorities at Washington have been
 wired, asking permission to allow it t1
 raise the pile driver with her powerful
 derricks. The request will probably be granted.
