BURNED In MlDSTREAM.
Particulars Of the Loss Of the 7. P. Leath-
erS on the Mississippi.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. GA telephone
from Bayou Sara gives the following par
ticularS Of the loss of the steamer T. p.
Leathers yesterday. near Fort Adams,
Miss. The fire was first discovered amid
ships on the starboard side in a pile of sacks
Of cotton-seedS, surrounded by tiers of cot
ton in bales The boat was in midstream
and under way.
The fire had gotten such hold upon the
intlanmable. material that to extlneuish it
was out OF the question, so the captain Or
dered the boat to he headed for the landing.
The passengers and crew ran about tile
burning vessel craZed with terror.
The people gathered on the front deck.
to be as near the shore as possible, and
waited as long as they could with safety
while the steamer was being driven in un-
der full steam. AS the boat neared the
bank, those of the roustabouts who could
swim began to drop into the river, and be-
fore the boat was within one hundred yards
of the bank, the water around her was
black with struggling men.
The officers Of the boat stood to their
posts and did all they could to prevent the
frightened passengers from jumping into
the river.
When the boat got within few hundred
feet of the bank even the fore-deck became
so hot that it was impossible to stay there,
and all on board were compelled to jump
for their lives. Most of them were provided
with ife-preservers, and it is believed all
those who waited until the last minute to
jump got safely to shore.
Lucy Hill, the first chambermaid, jumped
from the cabin deck and broke leg.
Those known to have been drowned are:
IKE MCMORRIs, steward.
WALKER, the first cook.
HAMILTON JONES.
WRIGHT.
These were all colored. A white deck
passenger, whose name is not known, was
also drowned.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The Herald's New

BAUNTS HIS DREAMS.


Spirit of an Innocent Lad Nightly Visits
His Murderer.
All the Perry County warriors, to the
number of twenty-eighr, have been admitted
TO bail and have gone home, except four
Thomas Smith. Bob Profit, Henry Fugate
and Benton Brashears. The first is con-
sidered the worst man in the whole lot He
is said to have killed several men during the
feud, but the foulest murder during the
whole war was that of young Nick Combs.
On April 10, 1883, Joe Eyersole, the orig nal
leader of the faction by that name. was
riding through the woods about five miles
from Hazard, in company with Nick Combs,
boy who had no connection with either
faction. Tom Smith and others had pre-
pared an ambush for the purpose of killing
Eyersolr, but when he reached the spot
selected by his murderers, young Combs
was on the side next 10 the murderers, and
it was found necessary to either kill Combs
or let Eversole escape. 1t was resolved to
kill both. Eversole fell dead at the first fire,
with bullet through his brain and another
through the spinal cord. Young Combs was
desperately wounded, and fell from his
horse. As he saw Smith approaching he
begged piteousy to be spared. but with the
remark that dead men tell no tales, Smith
took the pistol of the fallen lad and shot
him several times in the face, killing him at
once. Since being incarcerated in the jail
here Smiths health has failed, ana the
prison authorities say he will not live long.
Every night in his dreams he sees the muir
dered lad, and his screams can be heard out
side the prison wnlls.-Wnc hester (Ky.)

WHO Is AT FAULT?
a Question Of veracity Between Cleveland
and Co oueI Acres

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--Cleveland's let
ter to Colonel Acres of Kansas City, in
which he spoke in very uncomplimentary
terms of Senator ingalls, and hoped he
would be defeated in his race for the Sem
ate, continues to be a topic of conversation
in Washington. twill be remembered that
Cleveland denounced Colonel Acres as a
fool for publishing letter of that char
acter. The following statement of Acres
renders the situation extremely interesting.
1t is evident that either Cleveland or Acres
has lied, or else they have poor memories /:
"Dr. Mumf0rd, editor of tho Kansas City
Times, urged me strongly to permit the pub
lication Of Cleveland's letter in the columns
of the Times, and finally | wired Cleveland
for permission to make his communication
public Cleveland was away from home at
the time attending the Thurman banquet.
and not until several days after, or last
Friday In fact, did he answer my telegram
stating that he saw no reason why the con-
teIts lof his letter could not be given to
the publc.'' Colonel Acres is warm and
stanch supporter of Cleveland, was Inter
nal Revenue Collector for the district of
Kansas under Cleveand's administration,
and at all times has expressed great friend
ship for the ex-President.
