TRAIN BLOWN TO BITS.
Two Cars Of Powder Exploded in Tunnel
Set Fire to the Forest.

Ashland, Aug. 19.-What is re-
garded as one of the worst wrecks in
the history of the Southern Pacific
Company's lines in Oregon took
place at tunnel No. 7, six and one
half miles north of Glendale, this
afternoon about 4 80 o'clock. Extra
freight No. 2l92, east, which left here
at 8 80 this morning, composed of 26
cars, with three engines, was just
emerging from tunnel No. 7, which is
a short one on a sharp curve in the
track, and about 100 feet long, when
the train parted, the air hose break
ing. The sudden jar caused two rear
cars loaded with dynamite to explode.
The entire train was demolished,
except the engine. and it was injured
somewhat There were 10 cars of
melons, two of powder, two of fruit
and the remainder of miscellaneous
freight. All but three cars of the
melons were totally demolished by the
force of the explosion, which was felt
for miles around the surrounding
country. A car filled with acid took
fire, and the flames spread to the dry
brush and timber, causing a fierce
confagration. Cow creek, which
runs along the side of the track at
this point, was filled with debris and
burning wreckage.
A number of tramps who were rid
ing in half closed car, escaped, so
far as is known at the present time,
but until the debris is cleared the
loss of life and limb cannot be known,
and from the nature of the disaster
there may be nothing left of the re-
mains Of the unfortunates to tell the
tale.

Raids Along Panama Road.

Colon, Colombia Aug. 17.-Raids
continue almost daily or nightly along
the line, owing to the entire absence
of military protection. Last night
Matachin was again raided and cattle
belonging to sympathizers with the
government were stolen. Two wo,
men were kidnapped at Gorgon station
Sunday night and the Chinese there
were pillaged. On most occasions OF
this character, the Chinese are the
chief sufferers. Consequently they
are daily transferring provisions and
merchandise to Panama, thus inten-
styling want and suffering all along
the line. Armed guards consisting of
about so men still accompany each
passenger train.

hundreds Of people turned out to
witness the happy event.
DR.. W. H. Carter, the rector of
the church, officiated, and the cere-

THE PBICE OF COTTON.

Is there ching to be an advance in
the price of fottOn at an early day:
asks the SaSannah Morning News,
and then itiproceeds to answer its
own question: thusly: Mr.. Theodore
H. Price, the well-known cotton
broker of New York city, thinks
there is, as appears from an inter-
view with hiin published in our col
umns. 1t mfly be that Mr.. Price Is
interested inthaving it advance, and
has made hix views known with the
hope of hel king to bring about a
higher price4 but it must be admit
ted that the reasons he gives for his
views appeaEtO be good ones.
"He pOintk out that the outlook
for the prese 1t crop is discouraging.
The reports 3rOm nearly all sections
of the cotton belt indicate a short
crop. The sta sd from the first plant
ing was so b;s b that much of the in
creased acreas se was abandoned, and
later on drought in some sections
and untimelS rains in others hurt
the plant.
"The crop IF the present season is
likely to be smaller than it was
thought it would be a couple of
months ago. +. 1t will not go much
beyond 10, 100000 bales. The stocks
in Europe areSmall, and the amount
on hand in tlEs country is not more
than will be Eanted by the mills at
home, even if!there should not be a
revival in th4 demand for cotton
goods. But y r. Price says that an
increase in tie demand is already
noticeable, anq that there are rea-
SONS for thinA ling that the demand
in the very ned 3r future will be much
greater than il is now.
"All these things taken together
Justify Mr.. PI ice in expressing the
opinion that here is going to be a
very cOnsidera tle increase in the
price of cottoS. He therefore ad-
vises those WHIP have cotton to hold
on to il for awhile.
|'This may h good advice. Those
who have cOtt9n must Judge for
themselves whether it is or not.
They are in pd session of all Of the
information it Is possible to get rela-
tive to the al alOunt of cotton on
hand, the condition Of the growing
cotton and the 9rOspect of increased
activity in the bottom goods trade.
Gas far as I'VE are able to see
there is a pfOsI ect of an increase in
the price, but Se do not forget that
there may be :wonderful improve
ment in the growing crop in the
very near futuF. Cotton is a crop
in which great changes take place.

THEY DID NOT HELP.

The following was handed in last
week, but omitted on account Of the
paper having already been made up:
Editor Tallahasseean: The com
munication in regard to the Dispen-
sary Bill | had not seen until | read
it in last weeks paper. The writer,
though not present at the monthly
meeting Of the Union, when the
matter was discussed, expressed the
views Of the members as given on
that occasion, and we did not, as re-
quested by our State President, take
any steps against the bill. We think
it a great improvement on the open
saloon, and probably a step to some
thing better. God grant that our
sons and daughters may be saved
from the dreadful effects of this
enemy to mankind Signed.
