a Terrible Oatastropha.

A terrible cata strophe occurred in
Galveston at 7.3O a. m. May 3. One
of the beilers at the fremont Hotel
exploded, killing several persons and
wounding several others, doing great
damage to the hotel and other proper
ty.
The conclusion from the explosion
was appalling.
The scene of the calamity presents
dreary spectacle. Not one Lrick of
the boiler house remains on another,
buL III Its place, scattered half mile,
lies the debris of the building, engine
pumps and boilers. The northwest
wing of the hotel, about the boiler
house is badly wrecked. Fortunately
hut few guests were quartered in thus
portlan of the house.
After causing the destruction the
giant missile landed inside an adjOin-
ing small house and half out.
dIIOuS lueOI46S are dlIOdL aDOuB
the cause Of the accident. Engineers
generally agree chat the boiler was
defective, that its tubes were not
sufficiently Tapped over and welded
into the malhead. It is believed the
steam gauge did not register sixty
pounds at the time of the disaste-,
whereas the boiler was supposed to
sustain 200 pounds, but III the absence
Of heavy bolts sustaining the maj
heads Of the boiler, it proved unable
to bear half Chat pressure. The dams
age and loss to the building will
reach SIS, 900. 1t is insured against
fire. The hotel was owned by Col.
w. E. Hughes, of Dallas. Tho body
of Carr, the fireman, was blown over
wing Of The hotel into Court street,
The coroner's jury was summoned
and viewed the remains, but adjourn
ed until tomorrow, One thousand
people visited the scene this after
noon and crow led about the nslgbbor-
ing undertakers' establishments,
waiting to view the mangled bodies.

High Tariff recruits in the South.

A North Carolina newspaper, the
Wilmington Star, quotes a recent
communication of Georgia college
professor to the effect that "the pro-
tectiYe system Of revenue and fede-
raj oversight in internal affairs have
wide and increasing acceptance
among us, and admits it to be true
statement. It does not appear 80 to
any decided extent. In the old dem>
ocratic and whig times, when Henry
Olay's tariff system was cardinal
doctrine of his party, the South was
more wing than democratic, as the
North was more democratic than
whig. There have been changes both
ways at the South-none, however,
more conspicuous than Gays own
state of Kentucky.
Bui it is nevertheless true that the
friends of the present tariff look to
the South more than any other sec
ton for recruits to enable them to
put of temporarily any change in
that system and to rivet it upon the
country for all time, if possible.
firm hold upon New England is gone
and are losing what little strength
they have had in the West, They
are forced, as a last resort, turn to
the South. They have in this section
some positive adherents, but not many
and the congressional elections of
1884, as compared wirh 1882, show
show that even here the reformers
have gained tather than lost.
The southern card Of the tariff mo-
nopolists is their last, but it is not a
strong Washington Post.
