THE BURNING OF TIM ORA.
Letter from Capt. Cryer Giving Full
Particulars.
TurNroN Nav Or 1877

TRENTON, May rs, 1877.
Editor Democrat On Wednesday
evening, May 20, left here with the
steamboat Ora, bound for Bayou Bar
tholomew. When at point about
I twenty miles above here, and opposite
w. H. Bakers plantation. about p.
M, fire was discovered in the wood
rack on the port side. The fire, when
FIRST discovered, was burning In the
wood, which was heart pine, and natu-
rally very inflammable. There was a
strong head-wind blowing from off the
port bow.
Az soon as I discovered the locality of
the fire had the boats engines stopped
and water, by every available means,
applied to extinguish the flames. which
had In q very few moments spread rap
master the flames. then or
dered John +. Councillor, the pilot
on watch at the time, to back the
boat into the bank and land her, as our
only means OF escape, as by this time
the whole forward part OF the boat was
wrapped In flames. And only by being
possessed Of the greatest nerve and
presence OF mind was Mr.. Councillor
able to effect O landing, being COM
PEELED, before he left the pilot.house. to
close the sash and doors to keep out the
flames which by that time had envel-
oped the forward half of the boat.
could not say too much for my pilot.
Mr.. Councillor, for his manly conduct.
and there are numbers OF the crew and
passengers who woula undoubtedly have
found q watery grave Ii he had faltered
in his duty.
AS it was, the boat was landed on the
edge ofan overflow. where the water was
not over three feet deep, for sufficient
distance from the boat to allow the pas
sengers and crew twho had sufficient
presence Of mind not to jump overheard
before she landedD to escape the heat
from the fire.
From the time the fire broke out un-
til the entire cabin was In flames, 1t did
not exceed five minutes. Every one on
the boat lost oil his clothing and every
Gazing In the line OF wearing apparel,
sf9kcept what they had on at the time.
After | gave the case up as hopeless In
regard to saving the boat, started for
the Office to get the boats books, pa
pers, and the contents OF the safe and
cash drawer, but was driven back by
the fire and saved nothing out OF the
office, either money or books.
The Ora was not large, but was the
most complete boat OF her size afloat.
and had an unusual outfit In all depart
ments. I had q light insurance on her
In New Orleans, not enough to purchase
her outfit outside of hull, cabin and ma
chinery. She was built at Cincinnati,
and had her first inspection In Deem
Der, 1879, and was four and half years
old. T.. B. CRYER.

we Vote for Gray.

1t is stated that our congressional
delegation will urge the appoint
ment OF Hon. Alfred Gray, secreta-
~ Of the Kansas state board of ag-
riculture, as one of the United
States agricultural representatives
at the PARIS exposition Of 1873. If
Mr.. Gray desires to go to Paris
there ought to be no opposition to
him. No man has done q greater
work for the State than he, and his
pay has not been in proportion to
his services. It would be no mere
compliment to man to send him
there. 1t would be credit to the
whole State, and we do believe
Kansas would reap substantial ben
efits from his going to Paris. There
would be fitness in his going, and
he could give intelligent and salts
factory answers to the thousands of
questions that would be asked about
Kansas. There are pro baby 1000
patriotic citizens who would like
to sacrifice their time to go to Paris,
and probably not fifty of them have
q siAgle qualification except to draw
the pay and have a good time at
public expense. Let Kansas make
the most of this position by sending
Gray. We vote for him with all
our heart.

After weary and unnecessary de-
lay, the Confederate Democracy OF
the House of Representatives, have
violated all decency and admitted
Patterson, Democrat, from COlOra-
do, to a seat in that body. Mr.. Bel
ford, Republican, had, as near as we
remember. in the neighborhood of g
thousand majority of the votes OF
the people, but that made no differ
ence with the CoDfederates. They
took advantage of some technical
bubble, and defrauded the people of
Colorado. This is Democratic re-
form. Even such q Democrat as
Sunset Cox WINGED at the dose, and
wanted to send the case back to the
people. The Confederates knew
well enough what the result would
be If the people had q chance to de-
eide the case, and concluding that a
''bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush," boldly committed the
wrong. Now this is the sort OF
treatment tie people are to expect
from the Democracy, northumberland
ing their loud professions of love
for them. 1t is the old, old story OF
riding rough shod over the rights
and opinions of the people.
