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.

The demand is strong with ev ery indication of a steady upward move ment in prices. TRAIN OF ARMY WAGONS. Driven Overland to the Chlckamuuga National Park.

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.

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.

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. Seventh lininunes Go Out.
