his place near the stern. He did so and was saved, while the poor friend was among the hundreds of whom no trace was ever found Captain Elliott. though terribly scalded, retained his presence of mind and seized a life preserver and was in the act of adjusting it when a young lady rushed by frantcally screaming for help. In her frenzy she was rushing to- ward the flames. He seized her, adjusted the life preserver on her and threw her over the side of tbe sinking hull. He leaped in after her and reached a float ing timber large enough to support one person. Immediately it was seized by two poor wretches in vain attempt to save the remaining spark of life, but one fell back dead into the water and floating timber struck the other and knocked him off. He clung to the timber and was borne several miles down the river. The current finally bore him near the bank and he seized the limb of an oVerhanging tree and drew Himself iout of the water. From his post in the tree he was able to rescue several of his companions. When daylight came he was rescued and taken to Memphis.
 Though ill ibruised and burned he spent his time caring for the wounded and dying. organizing camps, procuring nurses, in every way possible minister ing to his distressed comrades. The question of getting the living to their homes became a serious one. Captain Elliott then wrote to the president of an Indiana railroad, who was a personal friend, asking him to transport the troops to their homes. AS a special favor this was done, the captain being person. ally responsible for the cars. In this manner the survivors reached their homes. His lungs had been scalded and the rigorous winters of Indiana were too severe for him, so with his little daughter who had been left motherless. while the father was absent, he came to Guntersville, Ala. There he was admit ted to the bar and practiced a number of years. During this time he was married to Miss Bettie Cornelius. Five children, of whom four are living. was the result of this union. He finally gave up the practice of law and pre-empted a gov ernment section near the present town of Arab. Here he planted large orchards and vineyards. and during his spare time taught the children in the little village school Three years ago he was stricken with paralysis and medical skill proved unavailing. Three months ago he suf- fered another stroke and it was thought that he was dying, but he still fingered on until Wednesday last, when he ex- pired.

A Smallpox Rumor Denied-snake Charmer
 Gives Performance.


 Gives a Performance.
 Demopelis, June 6.-(Special Core spondence)-A passenger on the west bound train last night would have thought that Demopolis was place of very great importance and size, judging from the crowd at the station The plat form was covered with trunks and people so thick that it was impossible to go up or down it. The cause of this was that the scholars of the female institute and some of the teachers were going to their homes for vacation. and besides this the bridal party were to leave, and for eVerA traveller there were four lockers on. so you can imagine the number.
 The most absurd sensation has gotten abroad to the effect that we had q case Of smallpox in our town. There never was anything so utterly without foundation. So far from there being a case of small pox here we have nothing like suspi- cious case, nor has there ever been one reported. We wish to say that this re port was started by some sensational fool, who was too much of an idiot to know what injury he might be doing, for we do not believe that any sound minded person would be guilty of such a false hood. The first we knew of the report was several telegrams received here this morning from friends asking if such wal true. They were shown to the authori- ties, who became justly incensed and the mayor immediately sent specials to all the papers in the state denying it ab- solutely.
 At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Marengo Female institute, held in the banking establishment of Messrs. Prout & Robertson few days ago, Col Benjamin F. Elmore was elected to a pos sition on the board to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge James T.. Jones.
 Yesterday a colored snake charmer who is sojourning awhile in our town walked out to the suburbs in quest of some specimens" and in the presence of several gentlemen he suddenly thrust his hand down into a little patch of grass and brought up a cotton mouth" moccasin But yet the most wonderful remains to be told. He brought the rep tile up town to the White Elephant" saloon and, after making up purse of
