THE RAILROAD.

Steele in regard to it.
His reply, just received is as follows
fIDALA, LA. April 9th, 1889.
Mr.. j. B. Snyder,
Tallulah, La.
DEAR SIR:-Yours of I'd lust to hand
on my return from New Orleans last
night. You are autho rized to saw that
there is no foundation whatever for the
report that the projected road will
cross the ". :. & p, at some other
point tn an Tallulah. Such a thing has
not been even considered, on the con-
trary there is great advantage in reach.
Ing the Parish Site, and unless there
should be some serious obstacle inter.
posed in the matter of rights of way
and depot grounds. you can depend
upon the crossing being inside at Tai
lulah, and in no event would il be
made west of that point.
Truly Yours.
HIRAM X. STEELE.
This shonld effectually settle that
argument, and make the grumblers
seek new tack.
ton that the road will cross at Tallu-
lab. unless, of course obstacles are put
in the way of its crossing here. But in
no event, be says, will the road cross
west of this place.

TO THE PLANTERS.

| We hope the planters of Madison
Will remember that a majority il
number" as well as in "vaiue'
is necessary to carry the Railroad
tax election on April 30th, and We
urge upon each individual planter,
that the only way that the election
can be carried is for him to see that
MS property paying tenants vote.
The vote of a man who owns only
a COW or a hog, counts as much in
the numerical result as the vote of
the largest planter in the Parish.
The negroes generally are in favor
OF the tax, knowing as they do that
1t will help them AS much as any
other class of people, and that the
burden upon each of them will be
very small, only a few cents for
each individual. Right around
Tallulah, We know that the better
class of negroes are in favor of the
road, the m echanics know that the
railroad will give them more work
and better prices, and the small
gardeners and farmers, know it
will give them better prices and
increased demand for their labor
and for their produce.
1t will benefit the plantation
hands in hundred ways. As al
general thing, they know this and
are in favor of the road, and we
urge that the planters impress their
tenants with its benefits, and afford
Them every facility to vote.
Remember {! that vote not poll-
ID for the road is vote against it,
md see that your hands vote for it.

FIRE IN MID-OCEAN.

The Rugia's escape from fire in mid ocean
was narrow one. The cargo, consisting main
ly of cotton and lard, supplied material for q
confiagration in the hold which, with less pres
ence OF mind and energy on the part Of the
officers, would have been utterly unmanageable.
Captain Karlowa, while preparing for the worst
and provisioning and launching the boats, made
a desperate and successful effort TO save tho
ship. Battening down the matches and closing
the bulkhead doors so as to confne the flames
to the after-hold, he flooded the burning sec
ton, the cabins and the main deck with water,
but in the course of the first hour made no
progress in extinguishinG the fire. With the
iron deck fairly in red heat beneath his feet
and with the sailors and passengers clamOrng
to be allowed TO get into the boats, and only
kept out Of them at the mouth of the officers
revolvers, Captain Karlowa persevercd in an
apparently hopeless undertaking. Steam was
pumped into the hold in place of water. and at
the end of two hours the flames were sufficiently
under control to allow the opening Of tho
matches and the removal Of the burning bales
of cotton by means of grappling-irons. 1t was
q stubborn four hours fight, but in the end the
commanders pluck and determination won a
wel-earned victory. The vessel was taken
into port, and the passengers who had been in
clined to revolt against the officers united in
commencing the grit, infeXible purpose and
practical sagacity of Captain Karlows.
This episode demonstrates anew the futility
Of fighting with water flames when well started
in the hold of a ship. The streams from the
pumps cannot be directed to the burning por-
tons of the cargo and the water settles TO the
bottom of the hold without having any effect
upon the flames. Captain KarIowa's use Of
steam was effective because it pervaded the
entire after-hod and smothered the flames. The
supply Of air was cut off when the matches were
closed, and the volume of steam pumped into
the hold acted like all elastic wet blanket Air
tight decks and compartments are really as
useful in case Of fire on shipboard as In col
iision or in shipwreck. Precisely rs water can
be confined TO an alright section. 80 can flames
on an iron ship; and then the problem Of ex-
tinguishing fire is reduced to the practica-
bihty of preventing the ingress Of air and grad
ually filing tho compartment with steam. The
officers OF the Rugia have taught their aSso-
ciates 10 the steamship business useful lesson
