Gadsden. July T.-(Special.)--It is gen. orally believed in railroad circles that the Louisville and Nashville and the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis freight offices in this city will be con solidated under one agency on the first of August This has been a rumor for some time, but it seems now that the two roads operate under joint agencies in Gadsden, Alabama City and Attalla, and will be as one line in the three towns before the year is out The com pletion of the Altoona extension of the Louisville and Nashville and the com bination would seem to fill the require ment.
 More adequate passenger depots are needed by both roads and there are sub stantial indications that they will com bine to build a splendid depot. It Is regarded as certain that the joint agency will be established.

MOUNTAIN MEN

Decatur, July 17.-(speeial.)- )-News of a tragedy which took place in the noun tains of Winston county, near. Clear Creek falls, Wednesday, reached here to- day.

POPE INTERESTED
 IN MANY THINGS
Rings Frequently for Trivial
 Reasons Because He is Lonely
HEARS THE MASS OF ST. LEO
The Pontlf Tires of Staying In Bed and Desires to Sit In His Chair. Is Surprised at His
 Weakness.

Rome, July 17.-During the night, as well as throughout the morning, the pope continued calmer and his breathing was better While he does not want any one constantly in his room. the pontiff rings frequently for trivial causes, thus show ing beyond doubt his desire for com panionship. He takes very frequent sips of meat broth, alternated with half spoonfuls of chicken gelatine. His urine continues scarce amounting in the last twenty-four hours to thirty-six cubic centimeters.
 When asleep the pontiff appears to be dead. His cheeks are sunken, his eyes are hollow and his jaws are exception ally prominent, the skin being tightly drawn over the bones. When awake the pope usually appears to retain life only in his brilliant black eyes, though he re- . covered the lucidity of his mind this morning and gave fresh proof of his won derful memory, saying
 To-day is the fete of St Leo. I have never failed to assist at mass since. when almost a boy came to Rome to partici- pate in the jubilee of Leo XII. l wish to hear mass today"
 The pontiffs desire was immediately gratified by Monsignor Marzalni cele- brating mass. as he did yesterday, in the chapel adjoining the sick room.
 After the visit of the doctors the pope said he could not stay in bed, as 1t made him restless. His limbs were uncomfort- able and he felt pains all over his body Therefore he wished to go back to his arm chair. No opposition was made, as the doctors think that nothing now can do the pope much harm. but to the pom tiff's astonishment he found he could not dress himself. as he did some days ago, or walk to his chair, so his ever watch full valet, Pic Centra, assisted by Seneca, another valet clothed the pope and al- most carried him to the arm chair, the pontiff frequently thanking his servants and remarking that they must be very tired.
 The pope understands the gravity of his condition and says he is ready to die. but he does not realize the imminenee of his danger, as again demonstrated when his confessor. Monsignor Pifferi. asked to see him. The pontiff. on being informed of the request, replied somewhat petu- lently:
 Not now. Tell him I shall not die with out calling for him"
 The doctors really think that unless a complication arises the pope may live for days and even weeks longer.

 A CONGRESSMAN
HON. JOHN LUsK OF MARSHALL COUNTY IS MAKING POLITICAL SPEECHES IN THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.

Gadsden, July 17.-(special )-Consider- able comment has been occasoned over the number of political speeches being made throughout this congressional dis trict by Hon. John A. Lusk a member of the state legislature from Marshall county.
 The fact that Mir. Lusk is not confining his speeches to his own county where he would naturally give an account of his acts in the legislature, has led some to the belief that he Is introducing him. self to the district with the view of run ming for congress next year. No one here knows positively that he intends to oppose Hon. John l.. Burnett in race for the democratic nomination. but the line of his arguments indicates that he intends to asK for higher political hnors
 MT. I.usk is one of the leading lawyers ot this district and is a loyal democrat No surprise would be manifested should he ask to be sent to congress.
