STEAMBOAT RUNS INTO BRIDGE DRAW

Selma, March 27-(Special)-Just at nightfall this evening the City of Mobile, an Alabama river steamer en route from Montgomery to Mobile. struck the Louis vile and Nashville railroad bridge as it was coming through the draw of the bridge and sustained considerable damage, besides frightening the passengers and damaging the draw of the bridge not a little.
 A brisk wind was blowing and it is claimed by the steamboat men that the steamer was just like chip on the ocean and was hurled against the end of the draw. The latter also is liable to have swung around and struck the boat as she went through
 A landing was made a few hundred yards above the wharf, when it was found that the Pittman on the starboard side of the boat was broken, the wheel was in- jured, and part of the aft cabins stove in.
 The Louisville and Nashville train from Pensacola, which reached Selma at D. ml, did not cross the bridge until a com plete examination was made and passen- gers were brought to the city in hacks A message was sent to Mobile summon,ng the Nettie Quill to come to Selma and take the freight on board of the CitX.sof Mobile to its destination.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITOL
By HERvEY w. LAIRD.

with most any other individual. The stir ring times of the early sos, in which Cap tain Kolb had prominent part, his races for governor, his utilization with the early populistic movements, his bolting of the democratic nomination for governok and the subsequent endeavor to have himself declared the governor are of such recent occurrences as to make any political movement on hls part one of prominence.
 The state papers very much Inter ested in this race. Capt. Reuben kolb will not get the nomination for commis- sioner of agriculture without opposition thinks the Dadeville Courier. However, this paper goes on to say that "Kolb will be apt to win, as a large part of Ala bama considers him a valuable agricul- turst."
 The Centreville Press puts it this way: Reuben used to be pretty handy on his feet when 1t came to getting Votes and If he has not lost the art he will make 1t right interesting for the fellow who wins"
 The Selma Journal says that the an- nouncement brings to mind the old days wherein there was much bitterness and also recalls that many people believed that Kolb was elected governor. He has been very quiet for several years past" says the Selma Journal, but when he comes into the fray again he makes the people from all parts of the state sit up and take notice. He has filled the place to which he aspires with signal ability.'
 Some Minor Gossip.
 The position of Congressman Hobson of the Sixth district on the reinstatement of the negro soldiers is still bringing him a lot of adverse attention. The Dadeville Courier thinks it a play to the gal leres and great many other country papers unhesitatingly express their dsap proyal.
 An Anniston correspondent presents the name of Thomas E. kilby, mayor of that town, for governor on his record for en- forcing the prohibition law. It is a mat ter of history that when 1t comes to being prohibitionist Governor Conner stands well up to the head of the proposition.
 The Tuscaloosa Times Gazette thinks that the people have become too ready to run down public service corporations. We ought never to forget that we are indebted to railroads for great deal of our prosperity" says the editor.
 The Monroeville Journal thinks that the newspapers owe the Cooper trial jury an apology We do not favor the estab- llshment of illteracy a specific qualih- cation for jurors, but it Is sometimes the case that that class of men get down to the heart of the matter" says the Jour- nal.
 In the opinion of the Centreville Press.
