tions, is to be made the arbiter of the ma,
tons destiny on the Republican side. As
the average delegate from that section gen
orally exhausts his appropriation
in reaching the convention leav-
ing the further care of the
Southern soul and body to that overruling
spirit which cares for fools and impccunl-
GUS politicians, this anxiety on the part of
the candidatal manager is at once apparent.
BY careful placing of the contents Of his
bar where it will do the most good, the
manager will endeavor to prove to the out
side masses that the "spontanety" of his
favorite candidates boom is beyond ques-
ton, that he, and not the "other fellow is
the chosen Moses to lead the party out of
the land bondage into one flowing with rye
and offices.

-Barton's Free Press says: The CAIRO
BULLETIN in quite a lengthy article, sup
ports Oberly for governor and Halliday for
congressman. Were it not for Oberly's
politics, the Free Press could get its should

good, square lift. Oberly is one of ma
lures noblemen. H is q square man. He
is a sensible man. lie is good man. He
would make a governor Of whom the state
would be proud. But will the moss backs
give the fellow chance,
OF Halliday we can say about the same
thing. But will he accept the nomination
for congress- He ought, it seems, to us,
to say to the people that he will or will
not. There are great many Republicans
who are watching the action of the De-
mocracy in regard TO the nominating OF q
Congressman. II the Democrats will nom

Some doubt exists among city officials. as
to the propriety Of the city's action in the
matter. It's claimed by some that it is the
business of the owners of property to keep
it from becoming nuisance and that
the city could compel them to do so.
But to this others of a contrary opinion.
answer: That if the lots are q nuisance
because Of their bad drainage, it is because
the city enclosed them when 1t filled up the

PERLiOUs POSITION OF SANDY NUN
PILOT YAwLs. l...
N. Y. Star. 9Th inst. it
The Sandy Hook pilots have had a
rough time during the past few days,
and the work Of boarding incoming
vessels has been both difficult and dan
gerous. When the Guion steamer Ar
izona was twenty-five miles off Sandy
Hook on Tuesday evening gale WAS
blowing. Pilot boat No. 5 came scud-
ding along, closely reefed, and tossed
about on the waves like cookie shell.
The sea was running mountains high,
and few on board the steamer suppos-
ed that the venturesome pilot would
make an effort to board in such a sea.
In this they were mistaken, for the lit
tie yawl or punt of the pilot boat was
seen to put off from her, having on
board three men, one of whom was pi-
lot G. Wolf. The passengers on the
Arizona watched the tiny craft with
breathless interest, and Capt. Price
turned the steamer SO that the boat
was to leeward and partly sheltered
fun the waves. The pilot got safely
on board and the yaM started On its
return voyage, and plunging in the
trough of the sea was lost to view SO
long thatits reappearanee on the crest
of mountainous wave gave relief.
Suddenly o large wave struck the boat
and cap ized b n. "LauBch the hfebeat,
shouted Capt. Price, who had been
watching tie little yawf, and in a mo-
ment she was IN the water and six
brawDy arms were urging 70 the rescue
of the struggling men. Almost at the
same moment second yawl or punt
was manned ami launched from the pi-
lot boat with two men on board, while
Capt. Price reversed the stermer's en-.
gines as quickly rs possible to wheretLe
men were struggling in the water. The
lifeboat crew succeeded In getting one
Of the men on board. and seeing that
the second yawl from the pilot boat had
rescued the other man, they put back TO
the steamer and got on board. They had
no sooner reached the deck than anoth
or cry ofhorror went mp from the pas
se0gers, for the second yawl with the
two men and the rescued passenger on
board, while making its way back to
pilot boat No y, was struck by q huge
wave and also upset.
"Another crew for the lifeboatp rang
out in clear tones from Capt. Price, and
again the boat was un'ter way to the
rescue. The prov of the steamer was
turned we'll around, and she soon came
10 near that 1t was possible to shrow
ropes and lines to the poor fellows in
the waves below. ~

up with life preserver and an oar
which had floated near him. He seemed
however, to be more collected than his
other companions, who were clInging to

great deal of difficulty and danger, all
the men were safely landed ON the

and burning wood caused the officers to
examine the hatch ways, when fre was
discovered in the upper between deck,

engine stopped, and three streams of
water were sent planging into the hold,
The smoke between decks was so thick
aud binding that the crew could not
stay near the scene of the conhagration,
and orders were given to shut off the
steam, which had been turnec on TO
sutfocate the fire. The cargo port was
opened, and all the burning cargo was
thrown overheard, as well as consider
able merchandise not on fire, but which

In a short time the flames were under

vailed had cleared away, signal Of dis
tress was set, and the Juniata responded
promptly and laid by until the last ves-
tIge OF fire was extinguished. The cargo
was restored, the water bailed out be-
tween decks and the hose was made
ready for immediate use should the fire
again break ;out, and :he City of Macon
steamed on her course, keeping COM
pany with the Jun.ata, and in a few
hours she pursued the regular course for
