The yacht Sarah Craig from Philadel-
pbia, upset near the government dock at
Sandy Hook, during the storm the other
evening. Six ladies and young man were
drowned. All the bodies were recovered
but one.
1t is said that the yacht was running to-
ward the inside of the hook to escape the
squat, and the ladies had all gone into the
cabin TO avoid the rain. Some of them
feeling nervous, the, sailing master went
below to reassure' them, and just
as he reached the deck again the squall
struck the yacht and she went over. No
one had time to escape from the cabin.

MICHIGAN MATTERS. .
The Juniors Confess.

A special session of the board of agri-
culture was he'd IN Lansing on the Sd inst,
at which time the juniors Withdrew their
boycottlng resolution, and those who had
taken part in the disturbance in Prof.
Johnson's class confessed and were turned
ave over 70 tne faculty ior discipline; ran an
misunderstanding between the board and
himself as TO his answer TO their inquiries,
and acknowledged the right of the board
TO ask the question which he refused to
answer last week. He was .reinstated.
The board waited till O'Clock in the morn
ing for the seniors TO withdraw their reso-
luton that there would be no commence
ment this year. They failed TO do So, how
ever, and the board returned TO the college
TO settle the matter. There are probably
breakers ahead with the seniors.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER brings
suit against the penitentiary lessees.
which should have been brought by
Catchings before. And now we hope
to e the whole truth brought out.
and, nothing extenuated or set down
in malice, that simple justice may
prevail both to the State and the de-
fendants.-Holly Springs South,
The above is about on a par, with
most Of the other adverse comments
upon Gen. Catching's course relating
to the ~'penitentiary settlements"
Now it SO happens, that all the settle
ments had been made when Gen. Catch
iEgs went out Of office, and the settle
ment that Gen. Miller wants made,
was for the year 1885, and not due un-
til January, 1886. Just at that time,
MI. Miller became Attorney General,
and Mr.. Catchings was a member Of
Congress in Washington City. The
South should make the correction in
the interest Of fairness.

THE BOON.
Inen.

We print this morning a letter from
a correspondent. which shows how
railroads develop a country. We ven.
ture the assertion, that the magniGcent
trunk line known as the L., N. D. &
T. railroad has added to values in tht
State, five times what the road cost
and its own value in addition, for il
runs through the State on a longer
line than any other road. Its building
and operation have acted like magic
The trackless swamps of the Mississip.
pi River have been subdued, and the
famed tales Of Aladdin's lamp are
surpassed by the reality. On all the
line through the State, prosperity pre-
walls, and the throb of renewed life
is given to lands that were before con.
sidered worthless. Where a forest stood
before, in old abandoned fields, in the
tangled jungles of the great Valley
may now be seen thriving towns, cities
and villages and happy homes. 1t is
almost beyond the most ardent hopes
of the friends of railway development,
what has actually been the direct
result of the construction Of this road
through our State.
These results are to be observed by
all, but there are others, not 70 be
estimated in dollars and cents, but
fully appreciated, aud perhaps more
valuable to the Yazoo Delta. The
people Of the Delta have a powerful
ally to protect their lands from the
floods of the mighty Mississippi, and
an endorser of their credit to enable
them to utilize in the best manner
their own means of protection. Years
ago we wrote up this giant enterprise,
but as hopeful as we were, we dared
not anticipate what has actually occur
red.
These values have been added in a
very short time, and the future is
before US. Who can tell the full extent
Of the benefit the country will receive?
Who can tell what limits our city will
reach in business and growth as the
years roll by, if u citizens realize the
advantages now within our grasp?
Let our citizens resolve not to be out
stripped by any city,uo matter what its
size. Let the boom be kept up, and in
a short while those who knew
the old sluggish town of
Vicksburg will see in its place a large
and rapidly growing city. Certainly
these results are to be obtained with
the proper cooperation and effort.

Another old familiar face will b,
missed on our streets. The city that
knew bin 20 long and 10 we'll, that
trusted and honored him, will know
Alexander II. Paxton no more He
died at the Agricultural and Meehani-
cal College at Starkyille at a o'clock
Thursday night. He left here last
Saturday 10 bic usual health to attend,
as one Of it's Trustees, the commence
ment exercises Of the A. s. N. Col
lege. He died suddenly from an
attack Of congestion Of the stomach.
His death was 80 sudden, that mem
bers of his family had not time to
reach him, after hearing of his danger
Gus illness, before he breathed his last.
Mai. Alexander NJ. Paxton was
born 10 Rockbridge county, near Lex
ington, Virginia, on the 18th of March,
1914. He was reared in Virginia, and
graduated in old Washington College,
now Washington and Lee university,
and in the law school Of the
University of Virginia. He came
to Mississippi in 1885, and reached
Vicksburg OIL Christmas day of that
year. He entered on the practice of
law and continued in the profession
until 1852, when he went into the
foundry business, which he continued
in up to the day of his death. A very
few of our older citizens remember
young Alex. Paxton, the lawyer, but
the Paxton foundry has, for more than
thirty years, been a prominent indus
try in our city.
Major Paxton was married in 1887
to Miss Ellis, of Fredericksburg,
Virginia. The fruits of the marriage
were eight children, three of whom are
dead, and FIVE living, four SONS and a
daughter. He leaves a widow and
five children and a number of grand
children to mourn their loss.
In habit, Major Paxton was tenn
kind, social and thrifty. He was
universally liked by all who knew him
well, and was an earnest, good citizen.
School work was a labor of love with
him and when he died he was a school
of Vicksburg, ami one Of the
trustees of the A. & NJ. College. He
was always an active worker in public
and shirked no duty, however
humble or laborious, if he could serve
lis city, county or State.
His remains, attended by his family
md a few friends, will reach the city
the V. & M. train this morning at
line o'clock, and the funeral will take
place from Christ Church at half past
i've o'clock this evening.
Farewell kind friend. May you find
eternal rest, and may fortune deal
with those neal and dear to
you, whose hearts are wrung with
grief to-day.

THE SOUTH AND THE TARIFF

THE SOUTH AND THE TARIFF.
A split in the Democratic party has
again defeated any effort in the House
of Representatives at tariff reform.
Mr.. Morrison's resolution to consider
the tariff bill was defeated by a vote
of 140 to 157, thirty-fve Democrats
voting with the Republicans. The
assistance given the Republicans in
this matter by the Randall Democrats
will probably prevent any tariff bill
being passed by the House this session.
That leaves the tariff, which both
great parties have solemnly pledged to
reform, to be referred back to the peo-
pie this Fall.
In this situation we are in favor Of
two measures being adopted by the
Democratic party. We favor a dis
tinct declaration of principle on the
subject by the Democratic party, and
the enforcement Of party discipline SO
as to secure the strength of the party
when Congress meets again. We
think that some of President
Cleveland's straightforward manliness
should inspire the party. A question
so important should not be lodged,
and it should be fully discussed before
the people. And when they have
spoken let their commands be obeyed.
Let a Democratic caucus meet when
Congress again assemblies, with the
declared purpose of outlining a poll
cy to be pursued by the party. It
there are any Democrats who
do not want to go into such caucus
and submit to the will of the majority,
let them stay out SO that the whole
country will know where to place
them. We, for one, are opposed to a
small minority of the party defeating
its purposes. We want a bold fight
before the people, for the principle of
tariff reform. with t1e understanding
that all who are not with us are op-
posed to us, and that true Democrats
will 40 longer countenance those who
vote against the party on SO vital a
question.
This issue is one, that is peculiarly
inviting to the South. 1t is to the in
terest of the South to have the tariff
reduced to a standard, that will pro-
duce Ionly a sufficient reve-
nue. to carry on an economical
government. 1t is TO the interest of
the South to heartily cooperate with

TIE Iowa Prohibition law is to be
tested in the Federal Court. A suit
has been entered by Bowman Bros.
beer vendors of Marshalltown Iowa, for
$4,000, against the Chicago s. North
western railroad, on account Of a
refusal to transport for them 5000
barrels of beer from Chicago to
Marshalltown. To carry the beer1nto
Iowa would have been a penal offense
under the State law. Bowman Bros
assert that the Iowa law is invalid,
and that the railroad is therefore
responsible for refusing to act as a
common carrier.
The suit was brought in Chicago,
and will doubtless be carried to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
