Advertiser Bureau,


 An order was issued from the office of the Superintendent of Transporta- tion of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad this morning annulling all trains on that road out of this city to Meridian This means, so far as Mobile is con cerned. that she is cut off from the outside world to the north along the Mobile and Ohio. Arrangements have been made. however. to handle freight and passengers by way of the South- ern Railway, thereby overcoming the present unpleasant predicament.
 The order of annulment of trains df- rect over the Mobile and Ohio was due to the conditions on the road south or Meridian. and in the immediate Vicln- ity of Quitman. Miss, where. a feW years ago, there was a considerable washout from an overflow of the Chickasaha river. This territory IS now under water, with the streams still rising; in fact the track Is sev- eral feet under water. The last train to go over the roadbed was on Friday night. Wreching crews and work gangs have been sent to the scene Of the overflow and every effort will be made to save the tracks. It Is impos- sible to tell when traffic will be re- sumed direct over the railroad.

 Already there Is a scramble for the office of city Tax Collector. the vacancy | being due to the death of MT. Frank Petrinovich. Rumor has 1t that two members of the General Council are out for the job. Messrs. Cary W. Butt and W. s. Holt. It Is also stated that there are others who would like to i'll, the position. A well known fnembeI of the General Council stated to The Advertiser this morning that he was of opinion that MT. Petrinovichs son should be named for the vacancy, be- | cause of the fact that his father had | been elected to succeed himself for 8 | period of three years and had another | year to serve. His argument was that the books were in excellent condition and the son, having been in the office for quite a time was competent to fill which Is juicy one. remains to be seen.
