 Mobile, Sept, 25.

Mir. Albert Ashenberger. in charge of the local weather bureau. has prepared A hydrosraph of the Bigbee and War rior rivers, which graphically shows the stages of the water for five years and indicates many facts of interest to l river men.
 | The stage of the water at each sta tion Is represented by different col ored lime alongside Of which Is written the amount of rainfall and the amount of incident rise may be seen. The hy- drorraph shows the following: Tn five years the water has reached the danger line near the confluence of the rivers at Demopolis. 35 feet, thir- | teen times during the periods from Jan nary to April, inclusive. and during the othsr eight months of the year 1t has reached this stage only twice-in July, 1900. and August. 1901. During the former periods a general rain of two inches or over had caused the danger stage. and there Is only one occurrence
 where two inches of rain fell at all sta- t,ons and the stage of the water did not reach the danger line, but was within | a few feet of 1t. The highest water at Demopolis, 69, feet, occurred in April, 1900. and was due to continued rains lamounting to from 12 to 14 inches at the different river stations.
 When the high water reached a stage of forty feet or over at Tuscaloosa and Demopolis, the highest water at De- mopolis occurred from four to nine days later than at Tuscaloosa. while at ten-foot stage 1t usually occurred shout two days later. The river rises
 more rapidly at Tuscaloosa than at
 any other station from which reports
 are received.
 A rise of thirty five feet. which oc- curred during the twenty-four hours ending January 12, 1901. occurred there with a three-inch rainfall. When the river at Demopolis Is above forty-five | feet the daily fall in the stage of the water Is usually about foot. but tn- lcreases to about five feet as 1t de- scends from the 4s-foot stage. The retardation of the fall at the beginning may be due to the flood water flowing back to the river bed.
 At this season of the year 1t may | be we'll for lumbermen to know that October and November have been months of low stages of the water. The highest was in October and November, 1900. when there was a 22-foot stage at Tuscaloosa and an 1S-foot stage at Demopolis. The hydrograph may be valuable to steamboat men to determine the draught of boats best sulteo TOT navigation during low stages Of these rivers. as the length of time the water remains above a particular stage IS plainly indicated.

increased more than 100000 barrels,
while the Texas production decreased
more than 100000 barrels.

luminous rock was 101 ,255 tons, valued
at $1,055, 466. This was smaller
amount by more than 1000 tons in
quantity than the previous year. but
its value was 81 per cent greater. Oh

NO WORD YET.

Up to last evening no further par tlculars of Ben Pearman's accident had been learned. As was mentioned yes terday Dr. Ckas. H. Jones received the telegram in the afternoon on Friday. It came from Florence and reached here about live o'clock, consequently the ac- cldent must have happened some time carly in the afternoon. From the word Ing of the message the injury was very serious There is the chance, however. that who ever sent the telegram was more or less excited and as the doctor saId, first reports were very apt to be more or less exaggerated. Should the injuries prove to be as serious as the report stated there is grave doubt as 10 whether or not the doctor reach ed there in time to do any good. He and J. F. Price left here at s o'clock Friday evening and expected to reach Silver King some time yesterday morn ing. They will pIobbaly return some time this afternoon and until they are heard from all that MT. Pearman's friends can do is to hope that the re- port was, to a certain extent, false, and that he is not hurt seriously.
