• MERCURY,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through

SOUTHERN LEASES A ROAD.
The Mobile and Ilii iningham Railway
Xaw Changes Hands.
New' York, Feb. 2.5. —The Southern
railway has absorbed the Mobile and
Birmingham railroad, securing a lease
of 99 years on the road and property,
nd thus opening for the first time a di
rect outlet for the iron and coal fields of
the Alabama and northwest Georgia
districts over the Southern railway to
the gulf.
The deal was made by Samuel Spen
cer, president of the Southern railway,
in Loudon a few days ago.
The Mobile and Birmingham property
is owned almost entirely iu London, and
upon the return of Mr. Spencer from
Europe it is ascertained that one of the
purposes of his trip was to buy or lease
this important link between the great
manufacturing center of the south and
the gulf.
The Mobile and Birmingham has 150
miles of track between Mobile and Mar
ion Junction, Ala. From Marion Junc
tion it kgd been compelled to use the
tracks of other lines to Selma for an
eastern or northern outlet. Now that
the Southern has picked it up, it will
become a most important link in the
great system, and will be connected di
rect with Birmingham over that prong
of the Southern once known as the
Selma, Rome and Dalton, formerly a
part of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia system.
This line already runs from Birming
ham to Marlon Junction, and ou March
1, the day fixed for the lease to the
Southern to become effective, the Mo
bile and Birmingham will be merged
into the system, and the Southern will
have a direct outlet to the gulf from
Birmingham.
MOVEMENTS OF PIG IRON.
Official Figures Just Obtained From
tile Hinuiugliaiu District.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 25.— Official
figures obtained today on pig iron move
ments during 1898 show total shipments
of 1,352,950 tons from Alabama and Ten
nessee combined, as against 1,119,673
for the year previous. Shipments from
the Birmingham district alone amounted
to 861,279 tons as against 748,819 tons
for 1897.
Exports from Alabama and Tennessee
amounted to 202,673 tons as against 223,-
657 tons for the year previous. The loss
was ou account of the Spanish war stop
ping movements during the summer.
Cast iron pipe shipments from Ala
bama and Tennessee reached the total
of 118,401 tons, as against 91,033 tons
for 1897, Pipe movements from the
Birmingham district amounted to 44,531
tons, a gain of 5,228 tons for the year.
Practically all the export movements
during the yeur were from the Birming
ham districts.
Statistics show a remarkable condi
tion of affairs in southern iron last year
and that is that more iron was shipped
than was produced, the overplus coming
from the stocks oa hand when the year
opened.
The production of the year in Ala
bama and Tennessee combined was 1,-
896,435 tons (Alabama 1,038,076 tons
and Tennessee 268,349 tons), while the
total shipments of the two states reached
the sum of 1,325,950 tons. Thus 56,525
tons were sold last year lrom the stock
on hand at the opening of the year.
A well informed iron man said today
that the market is in better condition
now than it has been before in five
years. The demand is strong with ev
ery indication of a steady upward move
ment in prices.

t FALL ON ICE FATAL
TO LORD HERSCHELL
English Joint Commissioner
Dies From Injuries.
HURT SEVERAL DAYS AGO
Took u Leading Part In the Recent
Negotiations Designed to Settle Kx.
isting Difllerences Between United
States and Cauda.
Washington, March I.—Lord Hers
chell, one of the high joint commission
ers from Great Britain, died here at
7:30 o’clock this morning. Lord Hers
chell fell on a slippery sidewalk and
t LORD HERSCHELL
broke one of the pelvic bones several
weeks ago and this finally caused his
death.
Lord Herschell was lord chancellor of
Great Britain and was sent to the
United States because of his eminent
attainments to take a leading part in
the negotiations designed to settle all
existing differences between the United
States and Canada.
During the winter, when the side
walks were slippery, he fell heavily as
he was about to get into his carriage and
broke one of the pelvic bones. He
Beemed to be progressing favorably to
wards recovery and was in good health,
comparatively, until about 7 o’clock this
morning, when he was suddenly stricken
with heart failure. Dr. W. W. John
son was summoned and responded at
once. He saw at a glance that the case
was a desperate one and called Dr. Mad
dox in consultation.
The two doctors, two nurses and Lord
Herschell’s two secretaries, W. 0. Cart
wright and Hedworth Williamson, were
with him when he died, a half hour
later. Death occurred at the Shoreham
hotel, where Lord Herschell had been
staying since coming to Washington,
some months ago.
Farrer Herschell, first baron of that
name, was born Nov. 2, 1837. He was
a son of the late Rev. Ridley Herschell
of London, and Helen, daughter of Wil
liam Mowbray of Edinburgh. He mar
ried in 1876 Agnes, third daughter of
Edward Leigh Kindersley. They have
one son and two daughters living.
Baron Herschell was a privy council
lor, a knight of the Grand Cross of the
Bath, doctor of civil laws, doctor of
laws, a deputy lieutenant for Kent and
Durham, a justice of the peace, captain
of Deal castle, chancellor of London
university, and was appointed British
member of the Venezuela and British
Goiana boundry arbitration tribunal in
1897. He was knighted in 1880 and was
created a peer in 1886.
Lord Herschell was educated at Lon
don university, where he graduated
bachelor of arts with classical honors.
He became a barrister of lincolns in
1860, queen’s counsel in 1872, bencher
of lincolns iu 1872, recorder of Carlisle
from 1873 to 1880, solicitor general from
1880 to 1885 and was lord high chancel
lor in 1886 and from 1892 to 1895.
COVINGTON OFFICE ROBBED.
Uncle Sum It 1 ported to Have Lost
Twenty Thousand Dollars.
Covington, Ky., March I.—The post
office at this place was robbed of stamps
and money, last night, reported to
amouut to $20,000. The work was evi
dently done by men who had secreted
themselves in the stamp department, as
it was possible to do, provided the watch
man, who is charged with looking after
the carriers’ door under the main stair
way, neglected his duty.
This door is never closed. Through
it thieves could enter and secrete them
selves behind mail sacks and see the
stamp clerk put away his stamps and
cash when he closed for the night. The
robbery was first discovered by finding
the large door, where mail wagons back
np, wide open when the first employes
reached the building today.
The thieves evidently escaped that
way. Postoffice inspectors have taken
the matter in charge. Postmaster O.
A. Reynolds declines to say how much
the real loss amounts to.

hospital will go to Augusta, with all the
hospital attendants and nurses, while
General McKee and his staff will be
mustered out.

Anniston, Ala., Feb. 28.—J. K. Dim
