was lowered, and wild scramble of the
panc-stricken people ensued. The boat
was overloaded and overturned. 1t could
not be rfghted, and men, women and chill
dren remained in the chilly water clinging
to the boat until help arrived from the few
passenger craft. The tug boat Reed ran
under the stern of the Nutmeg State and
some of the passengers Jumped from the
burning boat to its deck. Then the tug
went forward and made an effort to save
the imprisoned men in the ship.
The heat was so intense that it drove
the tug away. and It again turned it's at
tention to picking the people up from the
water. 1t made another attempt, and some
of the tugs men chopped away some wood
work at the bow of the Nutmeg State. Two
of the firemen were saved, but the other
men were probably exhausted from the
smoke, and were unable to climb out of
the hold before the Reed was again forced
away from the ship on account of the
spread of the flames. 1t is believed now
that several men of the Bridgeport boat
we're burned to death In their quarters
below deck at the bow. The passengers
and rescued members from the burning
ship were placed aboard the City of Law
renee, and the body of Baggage Master
Jaynes was also conveyed to the Hartford
liner, which proceeded on her way to this
city.

York, Pa, and Mrs. P. Purcell, New York
city. The excitement was such at the time
of the abandonment of the burning vessel
that no positive statement as to the exact
number of persons who persisted can be
obtained from the officers of the boat or
from any of the persons rescued. No
record of those on board was kept by the
purser, because the United States naviga-
ton laws don't require it of coastwise
craft Of this class.
The Nutmeg State was a wooden pro-
peller of little over thousand tons, and
for the last seven years has been carrying
freight and passengers between Connecti-
cut towns and this city. She carried
large quantity of miscellaneous freight
which was all destroyed There was
large consignment of cartridges in the
hold, and when the flames reached them
they began to explode and continued firing
for some time. The boat was valued at

and the government of the great state of
Alabama when he says, 'ynhe commission

- nave been under the impression that
lhree majority of the people Of Alabama
wanted peace, and If l have contributed
In any way whatever towards bringing
about this peaceful condition throughout
the state of my nativity, ] think I am enti-
tied to the plaudits of all good men, not
Wlthstanding that, In the opinion of Mr.
Conner this peaceful condition of things Is
TO THE discredit of the state" The rail-
roads have never turned a deaf ear to any
request of the people of Alabama. They
have done more towards developing this
great state than any other one factor and
instead of fnjuring the commercial pros
perity OF any city, town or community any
where in this state they stand ready today
to do more than any men, or set of men,
including any commercial organza ton 60
wards the upbuilding of every city, town or
community.
Laws Should he Uniform
ut is well known that every four years
there is almost a complete change in the
personnel of the offlceholders In the state of
Alabama. Many millions of dollars are in
vested in railroads in Alabama. 1t is not
right, and would be little less than crimi-
nal, that these great properties should in
any manner be jeopardized by the change
of government from time to time, or that
anything should be done which would fur
nish an excuse for these railroads going in
to politics in any way. For these reasons,
If for no other, the law affecting these
great properties should be uniform, so that
the railroads and the people respectively,
would know their rights and without refe.-
ence to any change in the government The
application of the law in reference to these
properties should in no wise be changed
simply by reason of change of admins
alton. 1t will be time enough for such
changes when an UNSUCCESSFUL honest ef
fort shall have been made with these rail-
roads to adjust any real differences that
may exist from time to time betewen them
and any city. town or locality
1.-THE rule In dealing with these properties
should be the same as in dealings between
individuals. Any rule that Is less than
right is wrong, and any rule adopted in
reference to these great commercial ar
teries which is not applicable alike to all
other corporations and individuals in the
state is wrong. I ask for no exemptions in
their favor; but l do ask for fair and just
treatment IT is the theory of our law
that there is no wrong without a remedy,
and do not hesitate to declare that there
is not an individual or community of in
dividuals in the state of Alabama who have
any real grievances against any railroad
company or any other corporation or in
dividual who cannot find a full, complete
adequate and speedy remedy under the
laws of Alabama as they exist today"

There are many salves, ointments and
similar remedies on the market which af-
ford some relief in cases OF piles, but the
Pyramid Pile Cure is the only preparation
so far introduced that can be reliably de-
pended upon to cure to stay cured, every
form of itching, bleeding pretending
piles.
Mrs NJ C. Hinkley, of Col Mississippi
street, Indianapolis. was told by her
physician that nothing but a turgical OPP
Grafton, costing between seven and eight
hundred dollars could cure her as she had
suffered for fifteen years, yet even In such
a case as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure ac-
complished a complete cure. She says: Il
knew an operation would be death to me
and tried the Pyramid with very little hope
and II is not to be wondered at that | am
so enthusiastic in its praise
Major Dean. of Columbus. o., says he
suffered for forty years from piles and
twenty wears from itching piles and in his
case two packages of the Pyramid cured
him.

back where I was before / used the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. l suffered for years and II
is now eighteen month since l used 1t and
not the slightest trace of the trouble has

The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly
all druggists at so cents and 81 per package
and as 1t contains no opium, cocaine or
other poisonous drug can be used with per-
feet safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any form
who will give this excellent remedy trial.
