Col. j l., Power.

The name Of this geptlem an having
been warmly suggested by the Har-
riston Jeffersonian, for Governor, the
Carrorlton Conservative and ID eliza
Flag cordially endorse The proposi-
tion. Other papers have mentioned
him for Treasurer, Auditor and. Sec
retary Of State. We do not know that
Col. Power has any aspirations in
either direction. We were his travel
ing companion recently for two
weeks, and while he spoke warmly OF
others in connection with the next
State ticket, he never intimated any
purpose or desire as 10 himself. Bpt
his worth and fitness for either OF
the positions named will be generally
recognized, and will doubtless be ex-
pressed when the time come 10 make
up State ticket. Several papers 10
the State, in l879,r hosted his name
for Governor, when his epidemic re-
lief work of 1878 was fresh in The
minds Of an anpreciative public. A
few years ago some Of his friends Of
the pr,s3 (the Post among tbem)
again brought him forward for the
same position, but lie declined the
use Of his name. We think we can
safely say that he will be the nearly
Unanimous choice Of the press for q
place on the next STATE ticket, and
there arc thousanGs all over the

tunity 10 thus reward 4 citizen who

NEW JUDGE FOR MISSISSIPPI.

We learn that General Catch
ings' bull to provide a new dis
trict judge for the Southern District
Of Mississippi has been reported { a.
yorahlY TO tha House and is now on
the calendar. The report presented
by Col. Stockdalc, who has been act
ing chairman of the judiciary com
mittee, sets forth that the State of
Mississippi is divided into two Judi
cial districts, Northera district and
Southern district. In the Northern
district the circuit and district are
held twice year-ot Oxford in the
western portion, and at Aberdeen in
the eastern portion of said district.
In the Southern district the circuit
and district cows aresheld twice a
year at three different places, ono at
VicEsburg on the western border Of
sa'd district, one at Jackson in the
central portion of the district, anG
one at Mississippi City on The south
ern border Of said district, and inis
Congress has passed Jill to have
terms of said court held twice a year
al Meridian on the eastern border of
said district, so thai the one Judge
now presiding in the State Of Missis-
sippl held ten courts a year anG will
soon hold twelve courts. These
courts are held hundreds OF mlles
apart and the distance Travelled TO
make one round will probably exceed
1000 miles.
The circuit judge seldom attends
any of the courts, and remains but q
short time. and the district Judge
holds The circuit court as general
rule. The report OF the Attorney
General shows that on the lst Of
July, 1893, there were pending in
those courts over 900 cases, and the
reports. of the clerks show that the
number is increasing instead Of di-
minishing. These facts, briefly
stated, show that it is impossible for
one judge to properly transact all
the business, and an additional dis
trict judge shouldbe appointed.

There is street car war on in
Savannah, Ca, and fares have been
put down to that point that people
ride even If they hayc but couple Of
squares TO go. The charge is | cent
for short trips and 3 cents for very
long ones. The president OF one Of
the companies is threatening to make
a uniform charge Of l cent. lie says
that his company has actually taken
in more money during the past tho
months, while the war ka5 been in
progress, than Il did duI ing The same
months last year, when the charge
WAS cents ride. The increase in
travel has been more than double
The only people who are opposed to
the | cent fair are the motormen
who complain that their arms are
nearly pulled off working the brakes.
They have to stop at nearly every
corner, and to keep up to their
schedule time, which they find very
hard on them. 1t appears that the
war arose from new company COM

old one, making the traffic of both

Suicides by many methods are
common, but it was reserved for q
travelling salesman at Lafayette,
Ind, to cut off his own head. This
man named Moon, brought with him
to a hotel Q portable guillotine, which
he had made himself, in his trunk.
The machine consisted Of broadaxe,
very sharp and heavily, weighted
handle. He hung the end Of the han
die on pivot and then suspended
the axe by cord. He placed a lighted
candle by the cord so when it burn.
ed down to certain point 1T would
burn the cord in two. He lighted his
candle and lay down on the floor,
with his head lp an open box: at the
proper time the cord snapped, the AK
came down and cut off his head as
clean as a Partisan guillotine. -Indi-

Mississippi.

There are are hosts of people in
the State of Mississippi who have but
little conception OF the capabilities
possibilities and resources OF our
grand old commonwealth, and who
take a special delight in traducing
its advantages. Some OF these peo-
pie are chronic GROWERS, who would
grumble il they should be trans
ferred bodily to paradise; others are
Of that class who failed TO take adj
vantage of the tide at its food, and
are left as wrecks on the strand of
disappointed hopes and ambitions,
and there are still others WHO would
be too listless and apathetic to even
make an attempt TO help themselves,
no matter what oppo tunitics might
offer. These are the people who sec
no future whatever for Mississippi i,
and lave no good words TO say in
her favor.
Now, Mississippi is. just as good Il
late IN which TO live as any other in
TIC proud galaxy Of the Southern
slsteriiood; size hasn't the resources
OF Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee,
bui in an agricultural way,,she is
without an equal, and she offers jus,
as many opportunities for wealth
anG advancement rs any other State
in the UpiOn. All that is neces-
sary 70 reap the benign advantages
that sho offers is persistent, well-di-
tccted labor and industry. These
properly applied will convince the
most doubling that Mississippi is as
advantageous State In which to
live and labor as any other. Faith
IN himseltis what makes any man in
any tine Vt business successful, and
II we have faith IN our State, and 90
TO work earnestly, cnergeticolly and
persisteutlytol evelop the resources
that exist within her, we will be as
amply repaid in substantial prosperi-
ty as If we had abandoned her and
made the" same exertions in some
other locality.
This line OF thought was suggested
by q remark in the recent charge Of
Judge Henry s. Niles to the Federal
Grand Jury at Vicksburr, when he
said in speaking of the general de-
preston over the country, all over
the world in fact, "this country has
its sunlights and shadows and its
disappolntments to all, but of one
thing there was no doubt, it was the
best country in the world and no
State excelled Mississippi in its op
portunitles. He said he had every
possible faith in the future of Amer
ica and this Stale.
These words were both fltly and
bravely spoken, and they do homo: to
the citizen of the State who gave ut
terance 10 them. There Is no better
country Oh the face of the globe
than these grand United States, and
our loved State, old. Mississippi Of
tiers all the opportunities and is the
peer Of any that go to make up the
American Union.--Natchez Demo-

HOOSAC TUNNEL WRECK.
One Freight Crashes Into Another with
Fatal Results.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Sept. 9.-The
worst railroad wreck known in this vicin-
ity took place on the Fitchburg road last
evening in the Hoosac tunnel, short dis
tance east Of the central shaft. The acci-
dent was caused by a rear-end collision be-
tween east-bound freight trains, and, as
near as canTb ascertained, happened about
1890 o'clock. A freight train had stopped
to repair an engine. which had broken
bound express train passed through the
tunnel, filling it with smoke. A second
east-bound freight train was allowed to
enter the tunnel, contrary to the rules OF
the road, and the engineer. being unable,
on account OF the dense smoke left by the
passenger train, to distinguish the lights
from the train from tAe lights on the
walls OF the tunnel, went into II with
crash. Both trains were badly wrecked.
The tunnel was blockaded, two men being
killed outright and three seriously injured.
The killed were as follows:
WILLIAM TURPENING, brakeman Syr-
GEORGE MIMMICK. brakeman, Of
Fitchburg.
The injured were Walter Clapp, engineer
of Rotterdam; Charles Frazer fireman, OF
