New York, May pa special from
st. Johns, n. b., says The French
brig Senerne went ashore at Grand Bank
ON Friday, and was a total wreck in fifteen
minutes. Fifty-three passengers and nine
of the crew were lost. The Senerine was
caught in a fog and the captain lost his
bearings. He was making for this port,
and going slow when he struck. The
widest disorder prevailed among officers
and crew in making for the boats, and
leaving the passengers to care for them
selves. One boat, containing twenty-six
passengers, and some of the crew, was
swamped, after it got away from the steam
er, by the lurching Of the vessel. The
screams Of the women were heartrending,
and most of them sank Immediately. The
men struggled, but only a few succeeding
in saving themselves by catching the float
ing spars. The captain was unable to
maintain discipline among the passengers.
Some of the men chung to the rigging, af-
ter the first shock, thinking the vessel
would stand the strain and they might be
picked up when the fog cleared but
when the vessel went to pieces they We're
all lost; only about twenty were saved.

Blazing Oil.

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-The fire OF
the Atlantic oil works has spread during
the night and is still sweeping oyer the
works. A dozen storage tanks have burst
and efforts are being made to run off the
oil in tanks. The whole of the works
consisting of several brick buildings have
been destroyed. Loss, 5000, 200.
At noon fourteen tanks of oil We're
ablaze and several more are in great dan
ger. The flames have spread over five
acres and are likely to continue to burn
some days. The iiremen feel confident
that they can keep it confined to the oil
now burning. Since four a. m. there
have been several explosions. A change
in the wind may spread the flames. 1t is
now said the loss may reach So, 900. 900.
o'clock p. NAT this hour the situa-
ton is unchanged and there is no imme-
diate prospect Of the fire spreading. The
oil is burning fiercely AMI there is a pro-
ject started for piercing a %, 900 barrel
tanksby cannon balls to draw loff the oil.
The cannon is placed in position, but the
officials have to be very cautious of the
surrounding property. The Belmont oil
and gas works are regarded safe.

Any citizen of Wyoming who glances at
these tables will be forced to smile at the
census figures. Every citizen of Wyoming
knows hat the assessed value of the real
estate of Swcetwater county, instead OF
being three times that of Laramie county,
and seventeen times that of Uinta county,
is about one-siXth ofthat of Lnramie coun
ty. and not double hat Of Uinta county.
If the total valuation of live stock in
1850 was, as given by the census report,
81, OO7 ,lO7, the value of the 273,G25
cattle would be about $1,000. 600. Yet
the aggregate number of beef cattle
shipped out of Wyoming in 1881, 80 and
'S3 was 5T4,OT5, and the number of
range cattle taxed in 1888, Goa, O49; total,
l,l7S.l25 value over $4,000, 600. But
all Wyoming knows that to-day there are
more than 500, 600 head of range cattle in
the territory. 1t is true that some cattle
have been driven into Wyoming since
1888, and that the Stockgrowcrs' a%ssocia-
ton includes in its inspection the cattle OF
Cheyenne and Sioux counties, Nebraska,
but those facts will not reconcile the
statements Of the census report that in 1880
there were in Wyoming but 273. G25 head
of cattle with the known fact that the
number since shipped from Wyoming
added to the number now in the territory
will reach l,lOO,OOO to l,4OO. COZ head.
Can anything be more amusing-morc
preposterous to a citizen Of Wyoming
than the census tables relating to Wyo-
ming "farms?' The huge counting
machine at Washington has ]enleayorcd
to represent in farm produce statistics the
productions Of a stockgrowing country.
One may learn from the census report
that in 1850 seyenty-eight bushels of rye
of the value of $50 were pro luccd in
Wyoming Territory, but as 10 the fact
that in 1850 Wyoming sold $50, 600 head
of cattle of the value Of S6.OOO,O $50 to the
Eastern markets, the census report il
silent.
The table showing the average size o.
farms and the number of farms by classc-
according to size tells nothing. VIVA.
