LIVELY TIMES ON A STEAMER.
AN EXPLOSION OF COAL GAS AND A
FIRE IN THE HOLD.

The Explosion Follows the Opening
of One of the Coal Bunkers by
Fireman Carrying a Naked Lamp.
The Fireman Instantly KiIIed-The
Fire in the Hold Breaks Out a Few
Days Later.
New York. July 1l-The French liner.
La Normandie, which arrived from Havre
this morning, had a decidedly eventful
voyage. Just after her departure from
Havre one of the hremen. Francois Left
lem, by name, was instructed TO open
one Of the coal bunkers. He did so, using
a naked light. As soon as the hatch was
opened there was rush OF gas, which
instantly ignited from the lamp flame
and exploded with tremendous force in
stantly killing Lefem and doing more
or less damage to the bunker fittings.
Lefiem was only 19 years Of age, and
was a native of Brittany. He was buried
at sea. On July 9. Just after the pas
sengers had seated themselves at din
ner, fire was discovered in the forehold
and fire alarm was at once sounded.
The crew ran to the fire stations and
lines Of hose were stretched along the
decks. The passengers were quiet and
orderly under the circumstances, and
there was no panic. The officers and
crew worked Systematically all night long
and towards morning had the fire well
under control At o'clock on the morn
ing OF the 10th the fire was entirely out.
The passengers, headed by Bishop O'Con-
nell, James Campbell, Mrs. Henry NJ. San
ders, and J. Bussart drew up a set of
resolutions thanking Capt. Deloncle, his
officers and crew for their bravery and
energy. La Normandie made port without
further incident. on July g. off the Liz
ard, the st. Louis passed in sight Of the
French steamer and quickly drew ahead
and out of sight.

Camden. Ark, July 1.-two negro pris-
Oners were lynched by seventy-flve men at
midnight last night at Hampton. thirty
miles away. Two weeks ago a white man
named Martin was killed by three ne
groes. Two OF them were arrested and
confined IN Jail A smaller mob gathered
several nights before. but were persuaded
to desist. Last night seventy-fve men
demanded Of the sheriff the delivery OF
the murderers. IL was useless to resist
such force with but a handful OF men

delivered 10 them.
The negroes were secured and carried
to the neighbOring forest. The enragel
mob gave them a few minutes for prayer.

spirits We're launched into eternity.
The men were not masked and made no
EFFORT In any way 20 conceal their iden-
uty. All was quiet this morning
1t was only a couple OF years ago that
a race riot occurred In that county. The
negroes outnumbered the whites by far
in Calhoun county, and further trouble
is expected.
The circuit court was in session at the
time Of the murder, and the negroes had
been arraigned for trial. The main per-
petrator had escaped, but the two mobbed
negroes We're implicated In the crime.
The pleadings of the prosecuting attorney

The Possibility of His Selection Un-
der Discussion in Italy.
New York. July 1L-The Tribune To-
morrow viii publish the following: "Tho
latest visit TO Rome OF Cardinal Gibbons
and his cordial reception by Pope Leo
XIII. have shown In many ways the in.
creasing influence exercised at the Eternal
City by the American Catholics and
church. The pontiff at the vatican Is
sued papal brief addressed to Cardinal
Gibbons, approving his project relative
to the convocauon Of eucharistic con-
gress IN America, similar TO those held in
Europe, and approving also the new
programme Of philosophical literary and
scientific studies for the Catholic univer-
sity In Washington.
But the most remarkable evidence OF
the Importance attached to the visit OF
Cardinal Gibbons Is TO be found In the
European, or rather the most authorized
Halian organs, which discussed the
chances OF the American prelate's becom-
ing the successor of Leo XIII. OF course.
there Is no probability that such a thing
could happen so long as there is majori-
~ OF italian cardinals In the conclave.
Still, II is interesting to read, among other
statements on the subject, the following
published by the Gazette de Lausanne.
from It's correspondent: Great attenS
tion has been given recently to an article
In the Riforma, the personal organ OF
Signor Crispi, edited by the nephew oa
the Italian premier, and sup
porting the candidacy of Cardinal
Gibbons to the tiara. am more than
certain that Cardinal Gibbons will
not have two votes at the next conciave.
for the question of q foreign pope IS far
from being ripe for settlement StiH, the
article OF the Riforma easily explains it.
self. A foreign and especially an Americans
pope, would be inclined to leave the Eter-
nal City and establish his residence else-
where. II Is easy 10 understand that such
a prospect Is not displeaing to the Ttal-
ian government, for II would be the end oe
the Roman question. Rome would then be-
long entirely and exclusively to the mon-
archy-there would be no more trouble
about eternal papel question which they
do not know how to solve. II Is precisely
on that account that the wishes Of the Ri
forma are not likely to be fulfilled, for the
papacy thinks now less than ever of sep
arating its destinies from those OF this
Eternal City and Of abandoning its clailng
upon the possession of Rome.

Memphis. Tenn. July lA-According TO
Hon. Casey Young, secretary Of the COM
mittee having in charge the proposed
gathering Of silver democrats at Wash
ington, Aug. IL, the number OF delegates
Is going to deluge them.
The only unfortunate thing about the
whole matter is said Col. Young" that
a misapprehension of the purpose Of the
meeting seems to prevail among many
of those to whom invitations have been
sent. They seem TO think the meeting
Is to be in the nature OF a great silver
convention, when the truth OF the mat
ter is that It is to be simply a confer
ence OF silver democrats to devise the
best way to organize the silver demo-
Gratis everywhere. and to insure harmony
in the convention.
MANY OF those who have written me
have inclosed from 50 to 150 names Of men
who will be there or could probably be
prevailed upon to go. Well now, that is
not what is wanted. Only five or six men
from each state are desired at the coming
convention. men who are recognized lead
ers In the party organization in the sew
eral states. Let these come together first,
and IL, after conference, they think a
national convention OF free silver demo-
Gratis would be good for the cause, let
Il be called"

a local syndicate which is buying the certi-
ficates of the Georgia Southern and Florida
Railroad Company with a view of ex-
changing them for the new per cent. fifty
year old gold bonds to be issued about the
middle of August under the plan of reor-
ganization.
There has been a rather irregular ad-
vance in the certificates ever since the
Southern railway acquired a controlling
interest in the road, buyers expecting that
the new securities to be issued will occupy
a position relatively as good as those of
the Georgia Pacific, Columbia and Green
vile and Western North Carolina rail-
roads, all of which roads are owned by the
Southern railway, subject to the mortgage
bonds. For the past two weeks the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida certificates show
a net advance Of 49, points. The syndi-
cate has purchased in the neighborhood
of $2000,000 of the certificates.

from the low, deep gnowls emitted by the

suppose that the people who want their
