THE CO. BOARD
REASONS FOR COUNTY JAIL CON-
GESTIoN ARE BROUGHT TO
LIGHT, PROVOKING LIVELY AND
INTERESTING DISCUSSION IN
MEETING OF COUNTY COMMITS
SIONERS.

Quite a discussion was provoked at
the special meeting of the board Of
county commissioners last night, when
the matter was officially presented TO
the board by Commissioner Steward
of the long service a prisoner remains
in the county Jail after sentence to
county roads 1t was stated officially
that prisoners are there from thirty
and as long as fifty days after they
had been sentenced This was q con-
ditiOn that the commissioners sought
to and will abate, and a thorough in
quiTy into the reasons for prisoners
being kept here was made. 1t result
ed in the discovery that incomplete
commitments were sent in, and as the
sheriff was responsible he held the
men at the jail until complete com
mitments could be secured. In some
cases the incomplete papers remain
ed in such a state for weeks and the
cause was discovered when it was
made known that justices of the peace
had failed to attach their costs. it
was decided by the board to
Report DeIinquent Justices
to the governor if a continual deIin-
QuenCy occurred as in the past. The
board has taken this step for sew
eTal reasons. There is no good ar
gument for keeping able-bodied men
behind the bars after sentence, and
Judge BeggS, Of the criminal court,
who was present by request last
night, stated there is not a man IN
der sentence in jail but who is not
under the hard labor" penalty. Ask
ed TO recommend a remedy, Judge
Beggs informed the board It had dis
covered the source of delay and the
board should now apply a remedy.
County Attorney Morgan said he
did not think one or two failures %
attach costs would constitute mis-
feasance in office, but was of the
opinion that q word from the COVER
nor to delinquent justices would have
the desired Statutory effect.

said Commissioner Steward to The
Journal representative, "and two
guards at each camp. A guard can
take care of ten men easily, and at
some OF the camps there are but five
men. Under the new law, the board
has to pay a man three dollars If he
is on the county road for four months
or less. and five dollars and way back
home if he is there over four months.

STREETS OF MOBILE
FLOODED WITH WATER

Mobile, Sept. 21-AIthough the
situation here this morning was
alarming, Mobile and the immediate
vicinity suffered little comparatively
from the storm The wind with an
intense velocity drove the waters OF
the gulf into the streets, flooding the
lower floors Of many houses, causing
much damage.
In the bay many craft needed the
storm warnings, sought shelter and
escaped with slight damage. Anxiety
is felt for several that are overdue,
but it is hoped they have landed and
discharged their passengers safely.
Surrounding points on the coast,
including many summer colonies, are
still isolated and it is impossible %
learn the true state Of affairs there.
1t is believed they, too, were greatly
damaged.
A tug arrived from Gulfport this
afternoon and reports immense dam
age there from water and wind. The
winds velocity there was ninety miles
an hour.
So far no deaths have been report
ed in this immediate section.
IN THE THROES OF STORM.
Mobile was in the thrOes of the
tropical storm all Monday, but only
mildly till after nightfall. There was
heavy and continuous rainfall all
day, but the wind was moderate ali
during the day, with short gusts Of
about so miles velocity. Monday night
at o'clock the weather bureau re-
ported that the wind was blowing "a

A peculiar instance Of cOnnubial at

Vermont An aged couple. who
through half century of married life
had wrangled at each other, were,
in all probability, soon to be sepaTat-
ed. The husband was taken sick, and
was believed to be near his end. The
old wife came to his beside, and, af
ter carefully examining and taking
stock of his condition, exclaimed:
why, daddy, your feet are cold, your
hands are cold and your nose is
cold"

watching the progress of the storm.
The Mobile and Bay Shore train ar
rived early in the night from the
south beach loaded with people It
was there that so many lives were
lost in the tropical storm of Septem-
Der &c, 1906
At 12:15 this morning the weather
bureau reported the velocity of the
wind from "A to % miles an hour,
blowing in gusts, compared with a
velocity of 55 miles an hour in 1906.
The water continued rising and at This
hour, 1 a. m, was running into the
Western Union telegraph office, cor
ner Water and st. Francis streets,
three blocks from the river. The new
Louisville and Nashville depot at the
foot of Government street was inUn-
dated, and Commerce street, through
which trains enter and leave the city,
was inundated for it's entire length
along the city water front. No trains
were operated out of Mobile over the
Louisville and Nashville railroad last
night. Officials say they will possibly
get No. back as No. 4 some time to-
day, but 1t Is doubtful.
TRACKS UNDER WATER.
The Louisville and Nashville tracks
for distance Of about six miles,
three north and three south of the
city, are under water. Merchants
doing business along Commerce and
Front streets having ample notiflca-
ton Of the coming Of the storm have
placed all their goods upon shelving
above high water mark. An effort
was made to get into wireless COM
munication with New Orleans, but
there was no operator on duty at the
station. In the south end of the city,
near the water front, the streets were
full of people and household effects,
regardless of the showers of rain.
Numbers of large fish were driven up
by the storm and a number of them
have been captured in the street.
There have been no casualties heard
of up to this hour.
