Swollen Waters Do Damage to L. & N.
 Bridge-FaIse Work Gives Way.

Selma, February s.-(Special) = The heavy and continuous rains of Saturday over the watershed of the Alabama river has caused that stream to rise very rap- idly, ten feet difference being marked on the gauge this morning as that shown last night
 The sudden rise in the waters has caused several thousand dollars worth of loss again to the builders of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad bridge over the river here.
 This bridge has been singuarly beset by misfortune and the catastrophe of last night Is possibly the costiest of any that has gone before. The draw span of the bridge has been completed and the false work erected about half way to the next span. A quantity of the bridge irons were resting on the false work also the derrick and pile driver used in put ting up the false work itself Some time during last night all of this work wash ed away, allowing the iron to sink into the river and the large quantity of lum- Der to float away. Heretofore the false work has hung on the sand bar below the city, but, this time the river was above the bar and the hundreds of dollars worth of lumber Is lost.

STOCK EXCHANGE.
Irregular Tendency Prevailed Last
 Week-coal Shares Weak.

Berlin, February S-An irregular tend ency attended by diminished volume of
 trading prevailed on the stock exchange
 last week. Domestic government securi-
 ties were slightly higher while foreign
 loans were to some extent lower owing
 to realizing sales. Spanlards advanced up-
 on purchases from Paris and Spain For
 elgn railways were inactive, Canadians being particularly quiet Home indus trials were mostly firm Little trading was done in iron shares, but the tendency was slightly upward The Brusseldorf iron exchange reports that American or ders for pig and scrap iron are increas- ing. A Hamburg house has just chartered a steamer to carry old iron to the Uni- ted States. Coal shares continue to dis play weak tendency.
 Hamburg American and North German Lloyd securities were neglected until yesterday, when they advanced strong 1y upon reports of an improving freight market, the very much larger American grain export movement and also because outward freights remain very heavy. The Hamburg-Ameriean recently sublet it's contract for the transportation of Swed- ish iron ores, because all their steamers are needed for the over-sea service. Bank stocks were mostly lower There was no abatement in the abundance of money. It is understood that hundreds of millions of marks of German credits have been placed in London and New York The foreign exchange rates were slightly easier, but the danger of gold exports has not yet passed.

AGAINST CRIME.
Campaign Begins In Louisville by Min
 isters of Kentucky.

Louisville February s-A campaign against crime in Louisville and Kentucky was begun by the ministers of the state today. In nearly every church in this city special services were held tonight or this morning, and the ministers and prominent laymen made addresses urging reform in the administration of the crim- inal laws
 Specials from various points in Ken lucky state that similar services were held in the churches throughout the com monwealth.
 The services were the outcome of a pe- tition by the Louisville Ministerial asso- citation several days ago requesting the ministers of the state to set aside day for the purpose of preaching against crime. which the petition declared was prevalent throughout Kentucky.
 The direct cause of the action of the ministerial association was a number of murders which have occurred in Louis Ville and throughout the state during the past few months.

SERMON ON GAMBLING.
pr. Dickinson Preached Last Night Discussed "Wicked Practice"

The Rev. Dr. A. J. Dickinson preached on the evils of gambling at the First Bap- tist church last night. He did not confine himself to the class which play cards in a regular room for that purpose, but al- luded to those persons who deal in the bigger game on the stock markets. The text was, Tt is as sport to the fool to do wickedness." The sermon was divided into three subheads, as follows:
 1. A gambler is a moral fool in that he lacks moral sense and capacity for moral distinctiveness.
 ?. Gambling is a sport It gets hold On a man so that he cannot getaway from 1t but loves 1t. Dr. Dickinson enlarged on this by explaining the reasons why a gambler loves to game.
 8. Gambling Is the most manifestly wicked and malicious practice in human society, and should be stamped out by a moral sanitation.

 SECOND STROKE
PARALYSIS CAUSES HIS coNpi- TON TO BE sERloUs-ls AT HIS HOME IN HUNTSVILLE-is A so- LlclToR.

Montgomery, February S-(SpeciaL)- Private advices received here today are to the effect that Richard H. Lowe Of Huntsville who has for four years been solicitor of the Eighth Judicial circuit, suffered his second paralytic stroke this morning His condition is reported as se- rious, and there is much anxiety and sympathy expressed for him here.
 His lovable disposition has won him friends the. state over, and they have all hoped for his complete restoration to health. Coming just at this time this second stroke is particularly shocking to Mir Eowe's friends. About three years ago he suffered a first stroke, and since that time he has not been physically able to devote but little time and attention to the duties of his office.
 As a result the grand juries of Cullman, Limestone and Lawrence counties recom- mended impeachment proceedngs, charg- ing physical inability to properly perform the duties of the office. Last Thursday the Supreme court rendered a decision sustaining the proceedings, but 1t has been understood that on tomorrow a motion will be made for re-opening of the case for the purpose or presenting additional testimony. There have already been a half-dozen applicants for the position to appear at the capitol, and they are caus- Ing the governor no little work over the probable appointment
 Several prominent men from the Ten nessee valley district have been here In the interest of D. c. Almon of Lawrence, and tonight a strong delegation came from Limestone in the interest of Earl Pettus. Other prominent men are urging the claims of John c. Eyster and J. R. Sample of Morgan. and State Senator R. l.. Hipp of Cullman.
