113 PEOPLE LOST.
The Steamship Roumania Founders ut Sen
During Storm.

LISBON, Oct. 9.-lSpeciall Later
particulars regarding tho loss of the
Konmania state that q heavy fog pre-
vailed at tho timo she struck and a
heavy sea ID still running about the
wreck. Seven bodies have been washed
ashore and tho fact that they were un.
clothed is taken to indicate that MANY
OF the people ON board were in their
berths when the steamer struck. The
place where the steamer won't ashore ia
most difficult TO get at in stormy wealth or
and her condition can't be found out.
Two mon watching for wreckage saw
something floating in the water. Think.
ing 1t valuable prize, they rushed into
the surf to seize it. They were picked
up by rolling wave and carried out
into the water, where they drowned in
sight of hundreds of onlookers.
AS soon as the intelligence reached
bore that the Roumania had been
wrecked the government ordered the
gunboat Sea Ire to proceed to the scene
to render assistance. The gale was
blowing so furiously, however that the
commander was unable to take his YES
sci out OF tho harbor until early this
morning. The disaster occurred a little
to the northeast of Capo Carvoeiro, al
most the extreme westerly poin, OF
Portugal.
1t is thought the Roumania made
more leeway than was calcula ed upon
by Captain Young, as the vessel was off
her course and headed direct for the
coast. There is no life saving stations
in tho vicinity of tho wreck. and it is
doubtful If anything could have been
done in the gale
Out of the l22 passengers and crew
only nine were saved. namely, Captain
Hamilton, an officer in the British In.
dian army; Lieutenant Roche and seven
Lascars. The men were all naked and
were found lying on the sand with the
incoming wav~s dashing over them.
Portuguese seamcn lifted the PROSTATE
men on their backs and carried them
across the sand to tho town where d, G.
tors belonging TO The garrison attended
them. They slowly gained strength.
a squadron of cavalry is patrolling
the shore for several miles each side OF
the wreck to prevent robbery of the dead
and cargo that are being washed ashore.

OF his lovely wife is not only our Chief
Magistrate, but he is also our brother

grand brotherhood
Permit me to add, Mr.. Moderator.
should this resolution be adopted we
trust it may meet your approval to
designate some brother to lead in PRAYER

Advantages of Good Roads.

Pittsburg Dispatch.l
Land spectators, realizing the
Importance of good road facilities,
seldom place tract upon the market
until they have improved the ap
proaches and driveways This is one
of the reasons.the boom in California
was so successful. Especial attention
was paid to the streets in all towns
laid out. They were made attractive,
and in nearly every instance side
walks of cement were put in place
before the first purchaser was invited
to inspect the premices.
There is another reason, however,
why the roads should be improved.
Mr.. Isaac B. Potter, in an article to
an engineering magazine, holds that
one half the 100000 horses and
mules on the farms of the United
States could do the hauling of the
farm popuce if even the present
country roads were placed in good
repair. With reduction of only an
eighth of the draught animals, the
saving each day would amount to
about 1000 tons of hay and rs, 900
bushels of grain, which, regarded as
to money value, would amount to
100000 day, or $114, 100000
year. If the value of animals is
added, a total of 1854, 900, 900 re-
suits.
Considered from this standpoint,
it may readily be shown that in tie
course of few years the roads can
be paid for in the saving they would
make. Iu localities where roads have
been macadamized the value of prop.
erty has increased about 100 pei
cent. Add this increase to the say
ing effected and there results hand
some net profit. How localities can
| continue to exist with few and badly
kept roads, when the advantages Of
the reverse are SO plainly evident, is
more than can be intelligently an
swered.

Election News.

New Orleans. April 21.-The cleo
ton returns are coming in very
slowly, but enough are at hand to
permit of the following positive
statement being made: The State
will give Foster no less than 10000
majority, New Orleans giving McEn-
5000 mjority, and electiug John
Fitzpatrick as mayor by 5000 major
ity over his opponent, Joseph Shakes.
peare, the present incumbent. The
result of the election for mayor of
New Orleans placed the city in the
hands of what is considered a very
corrupt ring, which is greatly deplor-
ed by the better class of people
The entire Foster ticket is elected in
cluding all of the State officials.
e. B. Kruttschnitt, chairman OF
the Foster State Executive Commit
tee, claims a victory for Foster by
$4,000, and the control of both bran
ches of the Legislature, which claim
is pretty well substantiated by re-
turns so far received.

We like Governor Nichols for the
enemies he has made; for if there is
one man in Louisiana whom the
lotteryites and their sympathizers
hate more than another that man is
our chef executive. He it was who
sounded the first note of warning of
the danger that threatened the State.
That note aroused the people of Lou
isiana, and was heard throughout the
nation. Faithfully and fearlessly, at
all times and under all circumstances,
Governor Nichols has been true to
his trust and to his people. He is to-
day perhaps the worse maligned man
in the United States; but little does
he care for abuse from enemies he
has made in the discharge of his du-
ty. His honored name they have not,
cannot hurt. He has contempt for
their littleness of soul, for, aside from
the consciousness of having perform
ed his duty, he has made ten, yes
fifty, friends where he has made one
enemy. His reputation for patriot
ism, for political sagacity, for unfal-
tering opposition to corruption, and
for backbone, if you please is cock
tensive with our national domain;
and he is the most universally popu-
lar man in the State at this time.
He has done the State more genuine
service than any governor since the
days of Henrya Wilkins Allen, and he
will occupy a position in history
second to none of his predecessors
