load of tobaccoa week has been ship.
ped here from Clarksville to be re.

the home market has been high

An OH Tank struck by Iightning.

EMlENroN, Ia, April 3.-During a
thunder storm at O'Clock yesterday
morning lightning struck 1900 barrel
oil tank owned by the National Transit
company. The tank contained about
1000 barrels Of oil which took fire and
boiled over. The flaming liquid flowed
down the hillside, threatening destruction
10 the town. Disaster was averted, how.
ever, by throwing up bitches which
turned the fiery torrent in another direc-
ton. One house, barn, four rigs and an
cngine-house, together with about 500
barrels Of oil, were destroyed. The burn
ing fluid also ran across the railroad,
burning the track for some distance, and
necessitating the transfer Of passengers,
The total loss will approximate $4,000.

LOCAL OPINION.
The view. Entertained by Conserva-
five cfffreus

II was not the bridge bill so much rs the
amendment tackled on TO that important
piece Of legislation which was most dis
cussed by the business men Of Memphis
yesterday. There was no little disgust in
the minds OF many that an amendment
had been added 10 the bill not only dis
tasteful TO It's projectors, but, in their
opinion, disastrous 10 the contamination
Of the original measure. The iaciis, with
out the provisions for a road and foot
way, the building Of the bridge would
have been assured. and no longer delay
than was absolutely necessary would have
transpircd In the commencement Of the
work. The objections to the addi-
tions provided for by the amendment
are strong and the feeling among
large class Of citizens Is that
the objections will be sustained 10y
the conference committee. Al least, they
confidently hoped 30, but will doubtless
resign themselves 10 the inevitable when
they read TmE APrxsL's Washington spo-
eial this morning. Aside from the add
tional expense Of foot and roadway,
there Is further and potent objection,
viz. II there are such passageways the
flooring must Of necessity be Of plank
