NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
The Cotton Exposition to be an In
ternatioBal Show.

The agitation of the proposition for
a loan of $1,000, 600 by the Govern
ment for the Cotton Exposition at
New Orleans, brings to the surface
some interesting facts about this ex-
position and what it is likely to be. 1t
is spoken of as a cotton exposition,
and it is intended to celebrate the one
hundred anniversary of the manufac
ture and export of cotton from the
United States. Nearly 500, 600 have
been raised by the city of New Or
leans, the State of louisiana, SUB
scription to the stock, and by dona-
tions. Substantial and commodious
buildings have been erected. The
main building is the largest ever rear
ed in the world, except the famous
Crystal Palace of London. 1t is a
quarter of mile long and fifth of
mile wide. Vast as it is, containing
an exhibition space of 1, 200, 900 square
feet, even now, eight months before
the gates are to open, nearly 2,000,
600 of feet have been applied for.
Individual exhibitors alone have ask
ed for 900, 900 feet, which is nearly
200, 900 more than was occupied
by individual exhibitors at the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia, Every state
and territory in the Union will be
represented. More than twenty for
eign nations have applied for space
Even Persia, Turkey, China and
Japan are coming. The world in
miniature will be there, and all the
indications are that more national
and greater international display will
be made at this than al the wonder
full exposition of Philadelphia in rs.
The vast demands made for space,
the cordial acceptance of so many
foreign nations of the invitations sent
by the president, and the inability of
the city of New Orleans, and the
Cotton Planters Association, and the
state Of Louisiana to furnish the re
quisite means to accommodate the
vast proportions that the exposition
is assuming, have induced the board
of management to apply to congress
for such aid in the shape of loan as
wassextended to Philadelphia in 1876,
but not so great in amount Congress
loaned to Philadelphia 81, 500, 600.
The board of management Of the
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition will ask for but
81 090, 900.

PERILS OF A CYCLONE.
Incidents During the Recent storm in
the South.

An Atlanta GA dispatch gives incidents
of the recent terrific tornado in that region.
In Stewart county the three-story frame
mansion of Mrs. Grace Miller was lifted
in the air, the sills upon which it
rested were blown away, and the
house was dropped almost ex-
acty into its old position, where it now
stands, with its foundation stills gone At
Judge Wimberly's the tornado struck pine
forest, and for five miles in a straight line
left clearing thirty feet wide.
In Carroll county the storm first struck
Lowell, where it blew away the house of Mr.,
Ellis Smith, i'll which two families lived Two
persons were killed, a mother and child
The woman's dead body was blown $50
yards, and one of her arms was twisted
off, The child was blown against a tree
and mashed TO jelly. The use of cyclone
pits has greatly lessened the dangers to
life. Thirty persons took refuge in Doctor
knoX's and an equal number in that of
Mr.. Daley, until O'Clock in the morning
They listened to the roaring of the wind and
thunder, and at intervals fell upon their knees
i'll prayer. A short lull following, at about
O'Clock they opened the pit and found starlt
sky above them, and not trace of the danger
there which had played such havoc below.
The loss to live stock in Carroll county is not
less than 100000, while the clean sweep of
residences, fences, etc, involves a loss which
S3OOOO cannot replace.
The storm skipped about 100 miles without
doing much damage, when it struck the
Echols settlement in Milton county. Hail
stones as big as saucers fell with such force as
to cut off large limbs of trees. Some of the
stones We're five inches square At William
Green's seventeen persons crowded into small
cellar and did not venture out until next day
In Hall county two women and seven chill
dren were sitting by the fireplace. The frame
OF the building. was lifted up and carried
away leaving the family sitting in amaze
ment. a scantling fifteen feet long was driven
into the ground to one-third its length At
the Main place the roof of house was lifted
off and set upon the top of pine tree where
it balanced and still stands.
In the vicinity of Townville, S. c., seven
persons were killed

A RIVER HORROR.
Burning of a Southern Steamer,
With Loss of Life.
People aroused from Sleep to Meet
Death by Fire or Water

The steamer Rcbecca Everingham was
burned on the Chattahoochce river, at Fitz-
gerald's plantation, few miles above Flor
ence, Ala, at an early hour and many lives
were lost. About 4o'clock, A. NJ, the en-
gireer on watch rang an alarm signal to the
pilot, who called TO the officers on watch and
asked if he must go to the shore
when he was at once ordered to do so. The
pilot signalled the engineer to work for the
shore, but got no response. He then headed
the boat for the Georgia side, and the momen-
tum she had carried her almost to the banks.
The pilot on watch ordered his young SON.
Frank Lapham, a youth sixteen years old, to
jump overheard with Il line and swim ashore
and make the boat fast to a tree. The boy sprang
into the river, struck for the shore, reached it
safely and tied the boatup. In the meantime
the fire alarm was rung by Pilot George lap
ham, and the passengers aroused from their
sleep to find the boat in flames. All was con-
fusion and disorder but the officers of the boat
were heroic in the performance of their duty.
Nearly all of them were wounded or burnt
The flames wrapped the boat in their fiery en-
brace and seemed to lick it up.
Those known to be lost are as follows: W.
l.. Kennedy, Spring Hill, Ala, deputy sheriff
of Barbour county; Mrs Avart, Cuthbert
Ga; Miss Simpson, Fort Gaines, Ga. j. b.
Yates, cambridge; two white men, whose
names were unknown; Julia Adams, colored,
chambermaid; Dolph Thomas, colored, fire
man. Randall Singer and Aaz Stevens, colored,
deck hands, Bob Griffin, colored, stevedore,
and a colored woman and child, name I'M
known. Captain G. b. Whiteside was
severely burned on the face, head and hands.
f. ID. Williams, of Lagrange Ga. was
thought to be fatally burned j. 7. Carey,
assistant engineer, was painfully burned.
There were 301 bales of cotton aboard the
steamer, 2l6 of which were taken on at
Eufaula. She was made fast to the shore by
two hawsers, which We're finally burnt. She
remained tied to the bank about forty-five
minutes, when her moorings burned and
the wreck floated out in the stream,
drifted about one hundred yards, ca
reened and sunk The fire broke out
among the cotton just aft midship. 1t
is not known how it originated When the
boat neared the shore a lady sprang over
board and lodged in treetop, from which
she subsequently fell, and was rescued by
Pilot Lapham. This bravo officer saved the
lives of two Others, and assisted Captain
Whitesides ashore.

A bill has been introduced in the United
States Senate by Mr. Call, of Florida, to pro
vide for the creation of a silk culture bureau.
