Roasted to Death on a Mississippi
River Steamboat.
TWAS A HORRIBLE SCENE.
Supposed to Have Been the Work Of
Angered Negr0es-Exact Number Of
Dead Not Known.

V1cKsBuRa, Miss, Nov by
the burning of the fine steamer
Oliver Bierne, at Miliken Bend
landing at an early hour this morn
lug, thirteen lives are known to
have been lost, and it feared more.
The boat laid up at the landing
about midnight. She had quite a
number Of cabin passengers and
over $50 "deckies," white men en-
route to various levee works.
There was a lot Of cotton to be
be loaded at the landing and the
mate had trouble with the
roustabouts and a number of
them quit work, after which
tho mate hired the white men.
This enraged the negroes, who
made open threats against the
mate and the boat. At $3.50 this
morning the cotton in the deck
rom was discov cred on fire, and in
short time the boat was a mass of
flames. The passengers were
aroused and everything possible
done to avert loss of life, but thir-
teen persons are known to have
persisted, and it is feared several of
the unknown deck passengers have
lost their lives. Most of those res
cued had to jump in the river,
where they were picked up by a
yawl. The fire spread with such
rapidity that they could not get off
the boat any other way. The pas
sengers lost everything. The sur.
vivors of the disaster were shown
every kindness by the citizens of
Milliken's Bend.
A skiff reached here from Buck
port this evening bearing the
body of an old white lady who was
found clinging to bale of cotton
floating down the river this morn
ing, There was nothing found on
her person to identify her. It is
thought when matters are fully set
tied it will be found not less than
twenty lives were lost. Several
employees of the boat who exerted
themselves to save passengers were
painfully burned. Some of the
lady passengers are in a critical
condition from fright and injuries
received. The boat had over 700
bales of cotton on board.

here and there the bones of the
skeleton within are partially un-
covered. Egyptian mummies are
bare, black and hideous and ar
ranged in an artificial posture for
their burial, while in the exhumed
Pompeians we see human beings in
the very act of dying.
One of them is the body of a
woman, close to whom were found
a large number of coins, two silver
vases, some keys and some jewels,
which she was carrying with her
when the falling ashes arrested her
flight. 1t is easy to trace her head
dress and the material of her cloth.
ing, and on ono of her fingers are
two silver rings. Her hands were
so clasped in agony that the nails
had pierced the flesh. With the
exception of her legs, the whole
body is swollen and contracted. It
is plain that she strove violently in
her dying struggle. Her attitude
is that of the last agony, and not
that of death. Behind her lay
another woman and a girl, evident
ly of humble rank.
The elder of the two, possibly
the mother, has an iron ring on
one of her fingers. The signs of a
dying struggle are evident, but the
death seems to have been easier
than in the case of the victim last
described. Close to her lies the
girl, almost child in age. The
details of her dress are preserved
with startling faithfulness. One
can see the material and stitching
of her frock, the unmended rents
in her long sleeves, her dress over
her head to ward off the torrent of
ashes, and falling headlong on her
face had rested her head on one of
arms, and died apparently without
a struggle.
The fourth body is that of a
arge and powerful man who had
sat down to die with his arms and
egs straight and fixed. His dress
s completely preserved; his trous-
'rs are close, his sandals are laced !
% the feet, with nails in their soles.
IN one finger is an iron ring; his
mouth is open and showed that he
lad lost some of his teeth; his nose
md cheeks are strongly marked;
he eyes and hair have disappeared
'ut the moustache remains. The
Whole sight is tragic to the last
|egree. After the lapse Of eighteen
enturies the terrible death seems
o be enacting itself before US with
II its appalling sufferings.

New York News.
Some years ago, in a small street,
the workmen employed in the exca.
vations at Pompeii discovered an
empty space of an unusual form,
in which were some skeletons. Re-
fore disturbing them they called
signor Florelli, who was fortunately
at hand. A singularly happy
thought struck him. He had the
empty space filled with LIQUID
plaster of Paris and repeated the
process in the case of some other
openings which showed similar
appearance. As soon as the plas-
ter was hardened tho surrounding
ashes were removed and displayed
the perfect cast Of four human
bodies.
All four are now in the museum
there and a more singular and
affecting sight is perhaps not to be
seen in the whole world. The plas-
tor was hardened around the ashes
30 perfectly in the shape of what
may be termed the mould formed |
by the fallen ashes round the liv.
ing bodies that tho whole aspect of
tho dying frame is preserved, even
to the minutest details, except tina.

Of 10000 for the permanent loca.
ton of the Odd Fellows Home al
Idaho Falls.
This offer was accepted by the
Grand Lodge and tho five trustees
of the Grand Lodge were instructed
to visit Idaho Falls within thirty
days and ascertain if these pledges
were made in good faith, and if so,
make arrangements to Immediately
commence work improving the
grounds and securing plans for the
building.
The trustees Of the Grand Lodge
are: Grand Master F. B. Willis,
Of Challis, Grand Treasurer John
Lemp, of Boise City, M. B. Gwinn,
of Caldwell, DR.. D. w. Higgins, of
HALEY, and Lindol Smith, of Mos.
COW, all of whom, except Mr.. Smith,
visited Idaho Falls on Wednesday.
Carriages were procured and with
number of members of this lodge
and citizens they were driven to
the proposed locations, and from
there several miles up through the
valley.
They all expressed themselves
very much pleased with the loca-
ton, the surrounding country and
the future prospects of the city.
On their return a meeting was held
and all the necessary papers were
drawn and placed in their hands
and everything arranged to have
the ground surveyed and fenced,
and the plans and specifications
for the building perfected and a
contract let for the same as soon
as work can be commenced in the
spring.
The plans are to build only a
wing Of the building the first year
and improve the grounds, as there
are at present only a small num-
Der of orphans of Odd Fellows who
are being cared for in the state. the
present number being twenty.six.
OF course, other places that
raised good liberal pledges, and
would have raised much more, but
did not succeed in securing it, are
wondering Of what benefit it will |
be to the town. But as they will |
not be called upon for any of the
pledges, we fail to see where they
have any fault to find with the
proposition.

INSTEAD of appropriating $780,
600 for an exhibit at the Worlds
Fair the Legislature would be doing
more good for Nevada by appro-
priating half that amount to make
an experiment in each county in
the State in the line of sugar-beet
culture. Nevada has got to raise
something that she can sell. An
experiment with sugar-beets, we
are pretty positive, would demon
strate that Nevada has superior
land for the production of this arti-
Gle, and this fact being shown, it
would take but little to induce cap
ital to erect plant or two within
the borders of our State.

THERE will be two important
things for Congress to do next ses-
sion. The silver question is one of
these important things and the
amending of the laws SO as to further
prevent immigration to this country
is the other. The great number of
foreigners that are coming to this
country is what is causing all the
strikes and riots in the Eastern
States. They are reducing wages
to such an extent that no honest
laboring man can live decently and
support family. Every foreigner
who comes to this country should be
required to have $1,000, and he
should be made to stay in this coun-
try ten years, at least. before he is
allowed the privilege of helping
make our laws and holding Office
under them. immigration must be
stopped or soon the American peo-
pie will be outcasts in their own
country.

THE new election law bill and the
State Board of Equalization bill
have passed both branches of the
Legislature and will probably re-
ceive the Governors signature, if
they have not already received it.
The former is good law. 1t will
be little more expensive conduct
ing an election under it, but it will
be money well spent. The Board
of Equalization law is not so good
in our estimation, and under its
workings the property owners in
this State, outside of the railroads,
will probably be assessed as near the
full limit as possible. Wha is lack
ing to make up the amount Of reve-
nue. required to carry on the State
Government will be made up by the
railroads. We will wager any man
sack of peanuts that the total as
sessment Of railroad property in
this State will not, under the con-
dition of things required in the new
law, come up to the present figures
that the railroads are paying in
taxes.

ARE the Farmers Alliance and

ted to Woman Suffrage? One would
naturally suppose so from some of

ly held at Washington. This ques-

OPPOSITION, but from an honest desire
for information.

WE desire to especially call the
attention of our Democratic free
trade friends to a few cold facts,
which like all other facts present
the only convincing argument
known to poor weak doubling hui
man nature: When the Mckinley
bill was pending, and indeed after it
had become a law, you insisted that
it was absurd to put a tariff on linen,
because this country could not build
and successfully operate linen mills.
The tariff was put on linen, and the
result is, that three linen mills are
already in operation in the New
England States, while others are be-
ing built and equipped as rapidly as
possible at Minneapolis, Mimi; at
Eau Claire, Wis; and at Sioux
Falls. South Dakota. So much for
one free trade prediction. Now, for
another. All during the last cam
paign the workingmen were told by
Democratic editors and orators that
the tariff on tin plates put tax
upon his dipper and dinner bucket,
Notwithstanding they knew, or
should have known, that the tin
plate section Of the Mckinley bill
would not become law until July
/, 1891. Now for the effect of that
law upon American industries. Be-
fore its enactment not a pound Of
tin plate was made in the United
States, now American mills are
turning it out by the ton and more
than a dozen large mills are in pro-
cess Of erections in various sections
of the country, and the tin mines
in this country are being for the first
time proftably worked, and, most
important Of all, the price of tin
plate is to-day, in Chicago and New
York, twenty per cent less than il
was last September, and dealers are
predicting that it will be still cheap.
er after the new mills get to work
This isn't campaign bluster, but il
is plain statement Of hard, solid
facts, which can be fully proven.

WE are in receipt of copy Of

WE are in receipt of copy Of
Senate Bill No. "a, introduced by
the Senate Ways and Means Com.
mittee. 1t is the same old revenue
bill that was introduced two years
ogo with a few more objectional
features added to it. There is not
a single good feature about the bill
and we think it was drawn up for
no other reason than a slap at the
press of Nevada. Every law, or
part of law, now on the Statutes
of this State that requires the pub
LEGATION of ten-line advertisement
by any county official, is wiped out
by the repeating clause Of this obi
GUS Revenue Bill. We do not know
what good it is claimed the meas
ure will accomplish, but we do
know just what the measure will
do for the press of this State, and
we will say to the balance of the
newspaper men that it will stand
them in hand to unite and urge
the representatives from their re-
spective counties to show no mercy
to this bill. There are some States
men (?) who think it is economy
to keep every dollar away from a
newspaper that they possibly can
and it appears that a number OF
such narrow-minded people have
been chosen as Senate Ways and
Means Committee. There is no
body or no institution in the State
that does more to advance the in
terests of Nevada than the news
papers, and the work is mostly all
gratuitous. Still the able men of
whom the Ways and Means Com
mittee is composed desire to do
away with the greatest portion OF
the advertising now. required by
law. Such action would BE- false
economy. There is not a publica-
ton of an advertisement made in
any paper in this State that does
not save to the county wherein it
is made from one to five times the
cost of the advertisement. The
Revenue Bill should meet the same
fate that it did two years ago-be
put to sleep under" the table.
