THf KATE ADAMS.
Number of Dead VIII Never be Accurately
knOwn-SOme Place 1t as High as
Sixty-The Loss Complete.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Dec. 24.-There is
nothing of a startling nature to report
this morning concerning the disaster to
the Kate Adams beyond what was stated
in last nights dispatches. William
Donohue, one of the clerks, came up this
forenoon from the wreck. He was i'll Il
yawI with Clerk George Corbett, when it
capsized, and the last he saw of his COL
league he was floating down the river
clinging to a small ladder. DOnOhue
managed to catch on to Il bale of cotton
and was swept out into the current
and was rescued some six miles
below Commerce by some negroes
on the Arkansas side of the river.
He says Corbett may possibly have been
rescued further down the river. The
loss of life Is yet not definitely known,
and the prospects are that the exact
number who were drowned Will never be
accurately stated. Thirty-tive is most
conservative estimate. ont of Il party of
fifteen white labOrOrs which boarded the
steamer below Friars Point, only two are
said to have been saved. If this be true,
and there are no means of subStantiating
the fact, the loss of lives may
reach sixty, as many ne
groes who were on the lower
deck lost their lives in attempting to
swim ashore from the stern of the burn
ing steamer. The boat and her cargo
were valued at Sl45, 900. The Kate
Adams had record of the fastest time
between Arkansas City and Memphis. In
the spring of 1888 she made the run i'll
five hours and seventeen minutes. She
was the steamer that conveyed President
Cleveland and wife from West Memphis
to this city on the occasion of his visit to
the south

If the coming legislature wants to

organization of counties and pass
a law allowing any county which presents

the records will show that there has not
been a county organized i'll ten years
that polled at the first election over 10
votes, a majority of them polling less
than 80 votes, and statistics will show
that the first two years after the Orgaui-
cation of Il new county, the population

DELTA, Ten. :, Dec. % Last evening
the young and old, the rich and poor,
high and low, congregated at the county
courthouse to celebrate the event of the
social season, the ball for the benefit of
the Delta Military Band. This band was
organized last September, and is COM
posed of twelve of our most prominent
young business men. Since its organiza-
ton it has been under the leadership and
tutelage of Professor A. B. Ewing of this
city, who wished to show off his boys to
the best advantage.
The court room in the courthouse was
cleaned out and lit up, and under the in
spring strains of delightful music the gay
and festive dancers whirled in the may
waltz. The following is partial list of
those present:

straight city ticket, including the school
committee, instead of voting simply for
the school committee, as required by the
statutes. The question is, how did the
women come into possession of the
straight tickets, and was the voting III all
cases done unconsciOusly? 1t was very
simple matter to make the mistake, as
the school committee ballots are of the
same size as the others and the same bal
lot-boxes received both tickets. 1t is
said that certain politicians of both par
ties can explain how some of these bal
lots came to be deposited. The total
number of votes cast for mayor by the
women is estimated at 400, both candi-
dates sharing them The board of alder
men, however, will not throw them out
in the absence of absolute proof of
illegality.

Two Women Quarrel and One Fatally Cuts the
Other With Bowie knife.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dee. PA dispatch
from Somerset, Ky, says trivial quar-
rel between two women here Saturday
resulted in the fatal stabbing of one of
them and the serious cutting of her two
children. Mrs. Frank Stehhens, wife of
a well-to-dO farmer, rented a patch of
ground to Mrs. Burchtield. The latter
fell behind in her rent and a quarrel was
the result. Saturday Mrs. Burchfield
was in her field with her two children.
Mrs. stephens approached and after
few words pulled from the folds of her
dress bowie knife and savagely attacked
Mrs. Burchfeld, stabbing her in the
breast and under the left shoulder. Mrs.
Burchfeld s little children rushed to their
mothers ass stance when the maddened
woman stabbed them severely, but not
dangerously. The wounded woman and
her children were taken to their home.
Mrs. Burchfield' wounds will prove

BOSTON, Mass. Dec. lS.-The illegal
voting of women in the recent exciting
ele ction was discovered to-day. 1t came
out during the aldermanic recount of the
votes in a number of wards The very
first precinct recounted, No. l in ward 3 =,
showed ninety five votes in excess of the
registry, and there is no doubt that all or
nearly all of this excess was due to the
votes cast Illegally for mayor by the
women. Hart carried the ward by 700
votes. Numerous other precincts show
ing IA smaller excess over the checklist
We're found, and the recount is not yet
half completed.
This Illegal voting is undoubtedly due
to the fact that the women voted the

DEEP WATER APPROPRIATIONS.

San Antonio Express: Mr.. Grain of
the Seventh Texas district, has arisen i'll
the national house of representatives. and
denounced the driblet system of appro-
priationS as extravagant, irritating and
resultleSs He has compared the govern
ment's course III the matter to
that of Il man who in building
Il house first lays the foundations
and leaves them exposed for Il year;
then repairs them and constructs the first
story, leaving it exposed for a year; then
repairs it and constructs tie second
story, having it exposed for Il year; and
so on until the residence is completed.
The comparison is apt and applicable.
III expressing his desire for the appoint
ment of Il board OF engineers who shall
determine what points should be impreySd'
and then for IL full gOvernmdntal
appropriation, Mr.. Grain voices the
sentiment of every private citizen wbqy
knows anything of the question .tyg,he
rivalry between Texas ports has very lit-.
tie to do with the matter. GalvestaH
asks 81 800 900, Arkansas Pass asks SIN
ply government guarantee thatHthe
money will be refunded when deep water
is secured by private capital. 1t has no
objection on earth to Calves
ton receiving all that it asks;
cares, i'll fact, nothing about it. The
same statement, it is presumed, will hold
good as to Galveston. An appropriation
for one port i'll no way effects the other,
unless, indeed, that appropriation be TO
the exclusion of all other points, and of
that there is no necessity. Arkansas Pass
does not admire the dog in the
manager and has no desire to play
the role. The Southwest has confidence
in its ability to secure deep water and
asks only that it be recouped in the event
of success. 1t desires to proceed upon
the no-cure-nO-pay plan. So far rs it is
concerned, the government may give
Galveston twenty, fifty or one hundred
millions. In considering deep water APP

soap suds into a rat hole, and we have no
better deep water facilities than we had
before the first appropriations were made.
If congress intends to give Texas per-
manent and reliable deep water harbOr,
let the matter be taken hold of IN prac-
teal and business-like manner, as sug-
gested by the Denver con-
vention. Let a corps of competent
government engineers be ap-
pointed to make careful survey of our
entire coast, and when the most available
point has been selected and estimates
made of the cost, whether it be much or
little, make the necessary appropriations
and start the work at once. In no other
way will Texas ever secure deep water
through government channels.

Dallas News, December "a.
BosToN, MASS. Dec. 23.-[ Special.
Boston promises interesting develop
ments regarding woman's entry into the
political arena. In the recent municipal
election it will be remembered that, I'M
der the law permitting assessed women
to vote for the school committee, only
20 900 registered. On election day, de-
spite the storm, about II 900 voted for
the school committee, but it seems likely
that, through ignorance, the carelessness
of polling clerks or by intent, a large
number of women went the whole hog,
voting the entire municipal ticket.
1t transpires to-day, through
recount of the votes on the alder
manic board in district nine, sixty
eight more votes were cast than the en-
tire registration. 1t is alleged that i'll
other districts nearly two hundred women
voted the entire municipal ticket. There
are 10Y election precincts in the city, with
a total male registration of GA 900.
Wells, for mayor, got SO 900, the largest
by several thousand ever recorded. Now
it is alleged that several thousand illegal
votes Chose of women) were cast for the
municipal ticket. If this proves to be the
case, the recent election may be declared
null and a new one ordered. 1t is an in
teresting state of things, which Mayor
elect Hart does not relish. Several
women interviewed to-day admit having
voted th6eptire ticketsS
