lumber lie scattered along the beach.
The boats papers were foundin bureau

Capt. c. c. Blodgett, of Detroit, aud his
son. She was built in 1862 and meas
urcd 412 tons. She was valued at about
$4,000. 1t is understood that there

MR.. GAINES TO THE CLUB.
THE MEETING HELD SATUR-
DAY AFTERNOON.

President w. A. Gaines Tells the
Commercial club of the Advan-
tages of Building the Road From
Tampa to oAshevilIe-AnA Address
Issued.
w. A. Gaines, president of the Florida,
Georgia and Carolinas railway and
transportation company, delivered an
address in the rooms OF the Commercial
club of Asheville on Saturday afternoon.
The object of the meeting was to
afford Mr.. Gaines san opportunity ito
explain the advantages to Asheville Of
his road.
Mr.. Gaines spoke of the great natural
advantages of this line, running from
Tampa, Florida, to Asheville. and thence
connecting with roads on the north to
the great lakes. The line would cross
eleven great trunk lines between Ashe-
vile and Tampa, while there was not
| parallel line as competitor.
The fact that the federal government
has inaugurated system OF reciprocity
with all the South American countries
was great factor in favor of the ieasl-
bility of this line of road, as a tremen-
dous trade would sprng up, demanding
a through line from the great North
west to the South Atlantic and Gulf
coast.
Mr.. Gaines stated that he had already
secured in the way OF subscriptions, right
of way, ETC.. franchise worth at least
$750,000, and large number of the
influential men in the states south of US
are heartily at work on this scheme.
The speaker was very enthusiastic,a and
confident that his scheme would be car
ried out
Cap. Matt Atkinson offered resolu-
luton which was unanimously passed by
the club, pledging hearty sympathy in
the enterprise.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 2.-At one
O'Clock this morning 200 mounted men
came in from the mountains and liberia
ted 200 eonvicts who had worked in the
mines at Oliver Springs. So quietly was
it done that the people in town knew
nothing about what had happened until
six o'clock this morning when they dis
covered that the stockade of the lesses
was a mass of smoking ruins.
All of the short-term prisoners were
furnished with citizens clothing, and
with the exception of a few captured, all
are now at large. This makes more than
FIVE hundred penitentiary convicts turned
loose in that locality since Friday.
The governor of the state was here yes
terday, but left this morning for Nash
vile.
1t was given out after his arrival here
that the force of ofguards at divers had
been largely increased and that an at.
tack upon the stockade would be strongly
resisted. 1t does not appear, however
that there was any resistance at all, and
no one was hurt.
Wild rumors prevail, one of which is
that the miners will Immediately proceed
to Tracy City and released there. There
is now no well founded evidence of this
but no one can tell what the miners will
