SIississippi's Progress.


A short time ago the Chicago Tri-
bune acknowledged. with some re-
luctance, that the South was pro-
crossing rapidly, improving in every
line, and enjoying greater prosperity
than ever before, The Tribune,
however, could not control its sec
tional and partisan bitterness, and
made two exceptions to Southern
progress iississippi and Louisiana
How untrue were these exceptions
is shown by an artic in the Aber-
deem Examiner, reviewing the con
dition of ississippi to-day and the
Improvements made, agricuiturally,
industrially and otherwise "Her
crops have been good" the Exam-
liner declares, "and she has made
more cotton and corn and hay this
year than ever before; she has
doubled her last years lumber cut;
she has quadrupled her last year 5
irml and vegetable exports; she has
nearly doubled the ban ing capital
Of 81 she has made plenty enough
bacon for home consumption; she
can boast as many horse and mule
colts as Tennessee she has added t.
the plants of all her cotton and
wooden factories, and started several
new ones she has built over 500,
900 worth of new school houses IN
the last year; she has vastly increased
hrr herds of sheeps she has
added number of congresses to
her facilities Tor handling her own
crops; sie bas established water
works and eiactnc-iight plants IN
many Of her towns; she has largely
increased her railroad mileage; her
farmers are nearly all Of them in
good financial condition; her towns
and cities are all prospecting; her
schools aud churches are all splen-
didly maintained; her white popula-
ton is steadily increasing and her
black population Is the best in The
South mississippi is not booming
IN spots, but the whole common
wealth is on boom"
These fact, have already been
given, but by bringing them together
the Examiner presents a truthful
encouraging picture of }iississippi's
progress. 1t has not been in the
same line as Alabama and TenneS-
see, in mining and manufacturing
enterprises, but it has been none the
less satisfactory and encouraging, as
the increase of over SI1, 100000 in
the assessment shows. Mississippi
will never be a great mining State
nor is she likely to be as large 4
manufacturer as some others OF
cotton, wool, etc, hut her magaih-
cent forests AMI her fertile soil will
place her at the head Of The agricul-
tural, fruit raising, daiying, stock
raj ing and numbering States Of the
Uujou. Times Democrat.

STARTLING CATASTROPHE
/ The Fastenings of an Inclined
Car Breaks,
And the Vehicle with Eight Passengers
Goes Down the Thousend- Foot Siope,
ata Terrific speed-Five Killed
ISL. and Six Injured.

CINCINNATI, Oct. Yesterday, at
noon, as car No. 20, on the Main street
incline, reached the top of the plane,
Mr.. Goebel, the cabman, forced
down the lever which shuts of tho
steam. For some reason the apparatus
refused to work, and the car rushed on
l.pon the iron railing. Goebel bentall his
strength upon the leyer, but it failed to
bulge. On tho. car rushed
n{d1g with the tremendous power
tyaN drew it on. The iron
. ork pierced deep into the wooden
fcoring, and stu the cable tuggcd.-
finally, with grating noise, the cable
slipped from the brass clamps that
held them, the bolts that secured
them opened, and the car was free.
The passengers unconscious of the doom
impending were about to step from tho
vehicle as it shot downward upon its
mission of death. The passengers who
had risen fell together upon the flooring
of.the car. Down the plane of several
hundred feet it shot, and plunging
fercely upon the railing at the bottom
dashed it to pieces like cord. The car
struck, shot far out upon Main street
and shivered into thousand fragments.
The accident caused great excitement at
its scene and all over the city. An i'm
mense crowd soon collected around the
shattered car and the dead and dying.
Officer Bernheis, of Corryvillc, was the
first police officer on the scene and he
Immediately called three patrol wagons

LITTLE, BUT OH MY



New YORK, Oct. 16.--Rcports continue
to come in of the wonderful performance
of the Lebel rife, the now arm now being
supplied to the French infantry. What
with the smallness Of the calibcr and the
velocity impaired by the smokcless pow
der, the trajectory is so fat as TO make
the accuracy the piece simply phenom-
email The latest achievement to hand
is that of Lieutenant Malteste, of tho
Marines, who succeeded the other day,
at Toulon, in Transforming a five franc
piece into vcritable ring in three shots
at distance of 200 meters, or 2lS yards.
Lieutenant Malteste always enjoyed the
reputation oe crack shot, but he was
never able to make such showing
with any other rife than a Lebel.
According to the last reports furnished to
our Naval intelligence Office the daily
product of the rifle is said to be 1000.
There are 5000 machines employed in
it's manufacture at st. Etienne, 1000 at
Chatellerault and 900 at Toul. Up to
September of last year 5SO,OOO rifles of
the new pattern had boen delivered, but
in no instance was a single Lebcl ac-
cepted until 5000 cartridges were
ready for it. In general appearance
the Lebcl rifle resembles the Ilotchkiss
repeating arm, such as is in use in the
United States navy, in all but the barrel
arrangement. The magazine of the
Lebel is under the barrel; in the case of
the Hotchkiss it is in the stock. The
Lebel carries eight cartridges in its
magazine, the Hotchkiss seven car
tridgcs Tho Lobcl is fitted to receive
sword bayonet of a quadrangulaI
shane.

pipe presented a very formidable ap-

house was the first to discover ifs.an1.
afterhe recovered from the shock it

of which he had made slip-noose.
He advanced toward the cause OF all

moose over it and drew it taut. Then
telling his wife and daughter to 60
