cal sentiment of our people IS about as
follows: MANY want Cleveland; many
want Hill many want neither, but Will
support either if nominated. What the
uroportiOn IL no one knows, and II Is de-
ceptiye to say so. Halifax wants the debt
settlement settled; II does not want any
railroad legislation that will lniure the
railroads and drive capitalists from

the tobacco trust. or the American
Tobacco Company, however. II may
be termed, eternally sent up salt river,
but il does not see that any special

plish much good Our people, however,
would hall with delight any laws by the
National Government or by the different
states, which would protect them from
the great decline in value of their chief
product-bTight tobacco.

Fourteen French seamen Die OF Theif

6S00 tons Orders had been given for the
vessel to make trial of her machinery aud
while this trial was in progress the end OF one
Of the boilers was blown oil. The fire room
Immediately became filed with sealding
steam and sulphurous, sufrocating smoke,
caused b, the water reaching and extingutsh-
ing the fire under the boilers. To make the
situation worse the electric lights went out
and the fire room was left in darkness. The
engineers were unable to escape until the
chief engineer and outsiders rushed down the
are room ladder and broke open the door Of
the compartment. Then a most horrible
aud sickening sight presented itself. men
were lying on the deck delirious from the
agony caused by the terrible injuries that they
had sustained, some were writhing In conyal-
sions, the blaekened and distorted faces and
fearfully blistered bodies, arms and legs pre-
sentlng a sight at once siekeninG and heart
rcudlnE. Several of the men In their torture
had bitten themselves In their arms and
hands and had attacked their equally unfor-
tunate companions and had bitten them. In
some cases they were heaped together in a
struggling, writhing mass and 1t required
considerable force to separate them.
The deck Of the fire room was covered with
hot water from the exploded boiler, TO the
depth OF two or three inches. In this the
men lay, every second adding TO the terrible
scaldinE they had received. Efforts were at
once made TO get them out Of the fire room,
but this task was rendered difficult through
the fact that they were absolutely crazy with
pain and attacked their would-be rcscuers
with hands, feet and teeth; in some eases In
aieting quite severe injuries. The hot water
also added TO the difficulty Of removing them
and finally it was found necessary to grasp
them in any way aud drag them out -Four
teen Of them were dying when they were
taken TO the ships hospital and number Of
others will Lndouhted die IN a very short
time 1t is believed that besides their cxtgr-
nal injuries, nearly all Of them inhaled
steam, and this alone would be sufficient 10

with earth and rock to a great depth, and all
traffic Is consequently suspended
A train which was approaching the spot
when the accident occurred had very mar
row escape from being engulfed 1t was by
the mercst chance that the engineer, who
heard the rumbling Of the earth, stopped the
train, thus preventing the cars and all their
occupants from bein ground to pieces in the
terrible rush of the displaced land down the
mountain.
This line is peculiarly liable to Interrlp-
tions from land-slides. In 1851 the village of
