 heroic work of the fire department, which
 had responded to general alarm, the
 steamer had burned to the water line. the
 city wharves at the head of Lafayette

 was burned.
 Fire engine No. l4 in attempting to back up to run her suction pipes in the water. got loose from her handlers and
 running on the wharf fell into the river and went to the bottom.
 The firemen, seeing that they could not save the Speed. turned their attention to the freight that was on the wharves,
 which were filled with oil cotton and other infiammable material and was quickly ignited The flames were sky high and the heat was something ter- EiAtC. 4uOuSdAuS oi PcopAC WAsASoSce sASN blaze from 8 safe distance. as the heat was too severe for the crowd to venture

 The Speed was sunk twice. once some years ago near Bayou Gouia and again about a year ago just below Memphis. Both times she was raised with but little damage to steamer or cargo.
 The Speed arrived yesterday from Cin- cinnati, but her trips to that point were abandoned for the time being, owing to law water in the Ohio River.

 The seal does not stop his search for food until he has completely satisfied his excellent appetite then he takes good nap, lying upon the very edge or the ice, or as close as possible to his breath ing hole. The slightest sound will awak- en him, and, without waiting to find out the source or direction, he rolls Into the water He can stay under for only thir- ty-fiye minutes. but where he will come up none can tell. This no one knows better than the bear; and if the bear re- aIizes that 1t is impossible to steal up on the leeward side of the seal, having his black nose covered with his paw and his bloodshot eyes closed, when the seal has his open and on the watch, he looks about for a favorable point of departure. dives under the ice, and if he rightly judges the distance and direction, he comes up at the very spot where the seal has expected to go down. The seals fate Is thus settled, and the bears shrewd ness earns its reward.

MT. Barr Makes Statement.

INT. odIk &AAaASo St&sOAAA~AAss
 J. M Barr, Vice President and General Manager of the Seaboard Air Line, in whose interest a petition was hled last night with the City Council or Birming- ham for rights of way into the heart of the city and across the city. ana which joint committee of the Judiciary and Street Railroad Committees of the Coun- cil, today gave out the following inter- view:
 Tt is the purpose of the Seaboard not only to enter Birmingham, but to reach ether points in the district, notably Ems ley. Bessemer and Pratt City. and to prolong the line beyond: The main ter minals of the road in this district will be in Bir mingham. Options have oeen ob- tained on land iE this city for such ter minal facilities, but the location of de- pots. shops, yards, etc., cannot be re- vealed at present far prudential reasons. The relations between the Seabo a:d Air I,ne and the Frisco System are most cordial. The Frisco desires an outlet to the tidewater of the Atlantic and the Seaboard wishes to tap the Birmingham district and the rich fields of the West and Southwest. While there Is mutual bond between the systems, no actual al- liance under what is known as the com munity of interests plan has been entered into. The East and West Railroad of Alabama has been acquired by parties friendly to the Seaboard and will be turned over to them any time it is need co. IL IS the puTpOSe lO Ildke lHe ESdSL and West part of the Seaboard Air Line Road between Birmingham and Atlanta. There will be better grades between the points named than on the existing lines. If the franchises asked of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen are granted and the negotiations for terminal facilities are concluded the work of construction will begin at once. Of course, the completion of the surveys will he the first of this work. The other work will be pushed viz orously.
 There is considerable sentiment in fla vor of the new railroad and from all in- dications 1t would appear that 1t will not be long now before the Birmingham district win have another railroad
 The Joint Judiciary and Street Railroad Committte of the Birmingham City Coun- cil tonight decided to recommend back to the Council at its next regular meeting the granting of rights of way over cer- tain streets and avenues in the city to the Seaboard Air Line. The franchise will be granted beyond doubt. J. M Barr, Vice-President and General Man ager of the Seaboard. stated to the Com nittees that considerable property in the city had been purchased alreadv~for de- pot and ward purposes The Birmingham Belt Railroad offered some objections to the hasty action but it availed nothing.
