STEAMBOAT FIRE.
Mother Perlshed While Trying TO
Save Her Child

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 25.-The
disaster which totally destroyed the
steamer Sun, running in the Memphis
and Fulton trade, and summariy
wiped out four lives at an early hour
his morning, was one of the worst
ever occurring in Memphis.
The dead are D. A. Rainey and
wife of Old River, Ark, and Mrs. G.
VI. Tlmbs and baby of Richardson,
Tenn.
There we're about ten passengers,
who spent the night on board the
boat, and many thrilling narratives
are being told of their narrow escapes.
Mrs. limbs had almost reached a
point Of safety when she remembered
her baby, and, going back for it met
her death when the hurricane deck
fell 10. 1t is thought that she
reached the child, and, seeing death
staring them both in the face, threw
the infant into the river in the hope
that it might be saved. Her body
was identified by her husband by a
ring on her tingure. No trace of the
child hoe ham fonpd
Her sister, Miss Josie Hammers,
slept with her last night, and had one
Of the narrowest Of escapes. She met
her sisters husband in the cabin, and
after they had tried by every means
to reach the latters wife, they made
their way TO the stern wheel Of the
boat and jumped from there to a LOT
of driftwood, from which they were
rescued by fireman.
Nothing was ever heard from
Rainey and his wife after the alarm
Of fire until the finding Of the bodies.
While they have not been positively
identified, it is thought that all the
rest of the passengers have been ac-
counted for. A number of passenger.
were compelled to jump into the
river and were rescued by tugs 10 the
harbor.
The cargo on the boat had not
been unloaded, and will bea complete
loss, including "a lot of cotton and cot

escaped damage by the flames. The
Sun was 3 years old.

death Of PIONEER CITIZEN.
John P. Herr Passed Away at His
Home at Oak Grove.
HELPED TO BUILD UP LEXINGTON.
Was Founder of and Named Mayyiew-
Lost Sight Years Ago.

John p. Herr, Oak Groves oldest
C tizen, died few days since at the
age of "a years. He was native of
Maryland. He was a house builder
and carpenter.
In 1888, says the Oak Grove Ban
ner, Mr.. Herr, in company with VIM.
North, arrived in Lafayette county.
They landed at the then new town of
Waverly just sixty four years ago.
After remaining in Waverly a month
or so Mr., Herr went to Lexington and
began working at his trade. Mr.. Herr
said there were only two houses, and
they partly incomplete, in the new
part of the town, now Lexington
proper, when he located there; and
when he left Lexington years after
wards, there were not fifty houses in
the town on which he had not worked,
and most of which he had built
entire. His last carpenter work in
Lexington was about the year 1850
when he built the Baptist church.
He was married in 1910, to Miss
Sarah H. Fitzpatrick of Lexington.
Eight children were born to them
three of whom are now living at May
view, viz; Daniel and Joseph Herr
and Mrs. Anna Hammonds. Both his
sons are well known business men of
Lafayette county.
In 1860, Mr.. Herr bought, by sale
under deed of trust, 100 acres of raw
prairie land, including the eastern
portion of HeathS mound, upon
which the town of Mayview is located
He hired his raw land broken up and
on the following year moved to it.
The war broke out and Mr.. Herr had
a hard time making living for him
self and family, although he had
"a, 200 stock in the Farmers bank at
Lexington. The federals seized the
funds of this bank soon after the war
began, but before they reached War
rensburg they were met and driven
back by General Price. They buried
their booty just outside of their
entrenched embankmentS, in front OF
the old college in Lexington. At the
surrender of General Mulligan, these
funds were turned over to General
Price, who, in his magnanimity, gave
them over to the bank and Mr.. Herr
recovered 80 cents on the dollar on his
bank stock. He afterwards bought
land adjoining his farm and a few
years ago owned a fine farm of ALI
acres.
He was one of the founders Of the
town of Mayview and had the honor
of naming that place. He was the
organizer and postmaster of Benning
poStotflce, afterwards called Mayview.
Mr.. Herr was, during his many
years residence in Lafayette county,
considered the most public spirited OF
any farmer in his section. AT one
time he gave $500 toward constructing
the Christian church at Mayview.
In January, 1866, Mr.. Herr was
married to Mrs. Carrie F. Brown Of
Ohio, his first wife having died,
and then moved from Mayhem
to Oak Grove where they have kept a
store ever since.
Mr.. Herr was an Old-time Whig up
to the civil war when he changed to a
democrat and had voted that ticket
ever since. Although being entirely
blind for the past seven years, he had
lost none of his politeness nor ambi-
tion.

their march again, striving now not to

fortress of Also on the Lippe river. But
none Of them was to see that refuge. In
the middle of the Teutoburger forest, in
what is now Westphalia, Arminius and
his big men burst on them and slew with
out mercy. Il All that day they chased the
Romans as If they were deer, and on the
next day, in the very part Of the forests
that the Germans used for their temple,
came the final tragedy, when Varus, with
his legions crumbled away and his last
bedyguard being dubbed ard hacked to
death. threw himself on his sword 81
+ Good cause indeed had the Emperor Au-
gust'ls when he heard the news to cry on
Varus to give him back his legions. Those
.legions never were to return. Six years
afterward, when Germanicus marched in,
to the Teutoburger forest to exact revenge,
he found the evidences of the three days
Of fighting and hopeless attempts to es-
cape the forest trained men who hunted
the Roman soldiers as they hunted the
beasts Of the wood. He found the first
hasty camp erected by Varus. It's wide
circumference and it's vast central space
showed that It had been made for three
legions. The camp that was made for the
next night told It's own story. It was not
large enough to hold two full legions
The entire center of it was snow white

trees were skulls, nailed fast by the saw
