Capt Thoruex.n,s Story.


VICKsBURG, Miss, Oct 29-The crew
and passengers of the Oliver Bierne arrived
here at 6 p. m. Capt. Thorwegan says that
he was awakened by the boats bel
ringing an alarm He sprang from
his bed, and being prevented by
the flames from going aft, he devoted his
attention to arousing the persons forward
There was little time for his efforts. for
within five minutes the boat was wrapped
in flames. When he reached the roof the
. flames had reached the pilot house He
sprang from the roof to the boiler deck and
dropped from that to the lower deck Mrs
M. q. Waddell, wealthy st. Louisian, aged
eighty-two years, was never seen until
picked up floating in the river near Duck
Port, La. She was then alive but soon died.
Mr.. B. Adams, the travelling companion of
MIR. Howell, also of Omaha, is missing and
it is feared is lost. William Massie, Tony
Burbanks, partner in the pilot house of the
Bierne, is the officer of the steamer
Sheffield, who brought the survivors
to this city The third deck of
the boat was crowded with levee laborers
Many Of them ran forward and got ashore,
but large number of them plunged into
the river, and it is believed that several o.
them were drowned. When the flames
broke out, less than half a dozen per-
vivors were awakened from their
sleep by volumes of flame and
suffocating smoke. Some of them hardly
knew what had occurred when they found
themselves struggling in the river. The
pilots striker was sleeping on the Texas
and was SO suffocated as to be helpless
He owes his safety to Pilot Burbanks, who
seized him and dragged him to the guards of
boat when he jumped overheard.

HOW ENGLISH VIEW 1T.
Opinions of Prominent London Papers on
Cur Trouble with Chill.


LONDON, Oct. 29.-The Post, after re-
marking that the naval inferiority of the
United States will make it difficult for her
TO coerce Chill, expresses the hope that
both parties will modify their atti-
tude before projecting to hostilities
The Post then enters into an elaborate
argument, quoting from authorities on in
ternational law and giving practical in
stances to prove the invalidlty OF Minister
Egan's view of the United States legation
and concludes the whole question as so i'm
portant that the action of the United States
viii be awaited with interest and not with
out anxiety at the prospect of confusing a
revolution of international customs.
The Telegraph referring to the Chilian
imbroglio says: '.PresidentS Harrison was
perfectly justified IN acting as he did.
Doubtless Minister Egan's appointment
has turned out to be the worst that
could have been made. His action was
d notorious violation of obligations
of neutrality, but there is no reason in the
world why the Chilians should adopt de-
faint attitude. If they refused to make an
Investigation and to punish the guilty per-
sons they were acting under the impulse of
an insincere pride. 1t will be necessary for
the United States, doubtless Sorely against
her will, TO give them a Statutory lesson ~
The Chronicle thinks the affair is hardly
matter for war, or even for the mobili-
zing of the United States navy 1t says
that Chilli will doubtless find it more pru-
dent to apologize, to punish the assailants
OF the American sailors and pay COM
pensation rather than TO risk her iron
clads in an encounter with the United
States.

TEXAS NEWS AND NOTES.

HILLsBoRp, HILL COUNTY, Oct. 29.-The
bonds issued for the arteSian well were re-
ceived and signed by the mayor Wednesday.
1t is thought there will be but little trouble
to dispose OF them, as several inquiries
have already been received in reference to
purchasing. A voluntary contribu-
ton of non-members of the Hillsboro library
association was taken up here this week
amounting to nearly S35. The yolun-
tary fire department of HiIlsboro held an
election of officers Monday night last for
the coming year, as follows: Chester NJ
Kennedy, chief; Fred Quickenstedt, assist
ant chief; W. NJ. Fain, secretary; Ed
Rodgers, treasurer. = The city council
recently passed an ordinance prohibiting
sidewalks other than stone, brick or gravel
from being put down inside Of the incorpo-
rated limits.
