Southeast storm Prevails.

About g o'clock this morning stiff southwest wind began blowing, accom- panied by a steady rainfall Towards noon the wind increased its veloclty ana by midday a veritable southeast storm was blowing. It was absolutely lm- possible to walk along the thorougntares with an uplifted umbrella and pedestrians had to take the wind and rain as IL came. The river, already high, augmented by inc waters from the bay and Gulf blown in hy the southeaster. rose rapidly ana, at o'clock was at least three feet above the level at 9. ~,.Au.
 At 80 o'clock this afternoon Mobile River on the west side was out Of us hanks from One Mile Creek north to Bayou Sara and beyond. The cause TOT this overflow Is easily explained. The water from the rivers and creeks apoVe were greatly augmented by the waters from the creek and bayou ana other streams and the wind from the southeast blowing up stream naturally caused the waters to recede on the lowlands. There is much timber on the banks and in the river between the points named, but no fear as yet is entertained for its safety:
 About ? o'clock the terrific gale eased down to a mere blow and fear Tor an overflow in the business district passed of. The heavy rainfall however, contin- ued all afternoon and tonight and the streets are full of water. In event the wind again shifts to the south and blows as it did all forenoon much damage may ensue.
 News from Fort Morgan this afternoon was to the effect that the wind was blowing a terrific gale the velocity being thirty miles per hour. No vessels left port today because of the southeast storm warning.

 With the passing of the carnival season the apathy which had existed in the City Court, due to the vacation. passed away and now the wheels of justice have be- gun their grind for the February term, with prospects of busy session, because of there being upwards of 100 cases set down for trial. Among these are four for murder, one of which. is that of w. H. Wick. continued from the last term because of illness of an attorney for the defense. There are also two highway robbery cases. W. H. Wick and the defendants in the highway robbery eases, are white. In each of these capital cases special venires have been drawn. It Is the hope and expectation of the court that nearly, If not quite all. the cases will be disposed of during the term.
