The procession was now near the

stopped temporarily at the bridge over
the river, which rushed past the south
entrance to the park, where the final

FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
n. &. Jcpson, q Popular Citizen of
Florence. i'm the Race.

The Florence Times, May -, says
y, {. JepSon. one of the best known
veterans Of the Atlantic Coast Line,
announces positively that he will be
in the race for railroad commissioner.
He has talked with his friends in Flor
ence and elsewhere. and has received
the greatest encouragement Mr.. JcD-
son has been forty years practical
railroad man, and as years creep up on
him he wants to retire from the thrOt-
tie and give the younger men chance
to run the trains while he runs the
railroads little. The life of an en-
gineer is a hard and exacting one, and
takes him away from home too much
of the time.
Mr.. JepSon came To Florence in 1884
and has been with the Coast Line con
tinuouSly ever since, and is one OF the
best men on the line. He has served
many roads in his time, the Louis
willie and Nashville. Central of Geor-
gia, and Mobile and Girard among
them. He says that in his forty years
of service he has never been dismissed,
suspended or rcprimandcd.
He was five years in the employ of
the construction department and the
rest of the time in the engineering.
He is IL skilled workman. and among
other cmploymentS i'm his life he made
percussion caps for the use OF the Con-
icdcratc government He claims To
have made nearly half OF the number
used 10y the army.
Since Mr.. JcpSon has been a citizen
OF Florence he has made a host OF
friends, and stands high with his fell
low craftsmen and employers. From
his long, practical experience In rail
road work, he is regarded as man
who is particularly well fitted for the
position and as one who would be an
acquisition to the board.

PETRIFIED SHIPS
Found One Hundred Miles from
the Pacific Ocean.

On the bleak and barren hillside o
the Arctic coast, near the headwat
ers of the Porcupine River more thar
4 900 feet above sea leve and long
way above timber line, where non,
save the Indian hunter haS ever placed
foot, there lie complete mulls OF two
large ships, petritied. This find is sc
remarkable that the discoveries OF re-
mains OF maStodonS, which have been
made from time to time, sink into in
significance by comparison
MIR. LiSkche, a printer of Seattle,
Wash, who returned from the Ko-
yukuk country recently, brought the
news OF the find to Dawson. He says
that DIR. Cleveland. who is known
from one end OF the Territory To the
other, has gone TO investigate the
matter. The manner OF the discovery
was this:
A party of Chandclar Indians was
hunting near the headwaters of the
Porcupine River, which they had
reached by following the Chandelar
Creek. One day while on the side of
mountain one of the party, looking
about for game, chanced to spy high
on the mountain side above him a
rocky formation of shape he had
never seen before. He was about to
continue search for game, but changed
his mind, and toiled up the side CT the
mountain toward the strange OBJ
ject. 1t was not till he got it that he
discovered that there were two objects
very much alike, and then it sudden
than one hundred miles from the sea.
and high above it, were two ships, the
larger probably 400 feet long. turned
to stone.
That night when the party was in
camp the hunter told his story. 1t
was not believed, but he was so perSiS-
tent that it was true that next dav
several hunters went with him TO see
the wonderful ships, and their sur
prise and partial fear was as great as
his own. They examined the hulls
more closely than he had done and
the result of this examination was
such that the story cannot be doubt
ed. They went to the interior of the
vessel and brought back with them
some cups and plates made for table
PNi PpoSo' anu VI ciii dliSICllJ iIlO pOIl-
derous description. Only few of
them could be brought out by the In
dians. 1t was only the recollection of
the manner in which they had been
disposed to treat their comrade that
induced them to bring anything away
with them. They knew they would
not be believed if they had no evidence
other than their words-hence the
tableware.
The Indians also found a petrified
forest of tropical growth even higher
on the mountain, though in the i'm
mediate vicin ty of the ships. They
describe these trees of stone as having
leaves as long as mans body and
very broad.

VOLCANOES CAUSED BIZ STEAM.
Immense Force Stored Bcneat h
Earth Bursts Forth.

DR.. G.. Hartwg, i'm his book, 'Voi
canoes and Earthquakes" gives the
following rs his views of the origin of
volcanic eruptions:
The phenomena attending an erup-
tiOn can leave no doubt that below
every active volcano large Subterra-
mean cavity must exist in which melt
ed lava accumulateS. The partiSanS
of the theory which SuppoSeS the earth
to consist of a central fluid mass, with
Il solid shell resting upon it., attribute
the formation of volcanoes To rents or
assures in this crust, through which
the lava is cast forth: but the local
development of heat 10y chemical ac-
tion or some other unknown cause, is
quite sufficient to account for the cX-
iStcnre Of fiery lakes imbcdded in Il
solid mass, and which, though inSig-
nilicant when compared with the sur
face Of the globe, may still be large
enough to produce volcanic phenomena
on the grandeSt scale.
The cause OF the reaction of such a
reservoir against the surface of the
earth must, in all probability, be
sought for in the expansive force of
steam; for when water, penetrating
through CrcviccS or porous strata,
comea i'm contact with the heated
Subterranean mass il is evident that
the steam thus generated must press
upon the lava, and, when formed i'm
sufficient quantity, ultimately force it
up the duct Of the volcano. In other
cases we may suppose continuous
column of lava mixed with liquid
water raised to red-hOt or white-hot
temperature under the influence of
pressure. a disturbance equilibrium
may first bring on an eruption near
the surface by the expansion and con
version into gas Of the cntanglcd
water, so as 10 lessen pressure.
More and more steam would then
be liberated, bringing up with it jets
of liquid rock, and ultimately ejecting
Il continuous stream of lava. Its force
being spent, a period of rest succeeds
until the conditions for new out
burst accumulation of steam and
melted rock) are obtained. and another
cycle of similar changes is renewed.

THE ROUND BALE TRUST.
Competition i'm the South Likely to
Destroy Cotton Gins.

\ four cornered fight between the
round cotton bale, the cotton gin, the
oil mills and the congresses has broken
out in Texas which threatens 10 re-
volutionize the cotton ginning bust
ness for next season and destroy the
ginrcricS unless the Texas Farmers
congress, wC.ch meets at College sta
tiOn July, can take some steps or Sug-
gcSt some legislation to protect the
owners of gins.
The trouble is due to the Round
Bale trust. which has made itself felt
in Texas, particularly during the last
year. The trnSt got such large share
OF the cotton that the compress COM
panicS and cotton seed oil men began
to feel it.
Formerly. the cotton went To the
gin, which separated the seed and
the lint. The seed was sold to the
oil mills and the lint. which was bal
ed, was subsequently taken to the
compress TO have the bales pressed so
that they would occupy less room and
could bc carried on vessels or rail
roads.
When the trust took more cotton
the gins got less, and so did the com
presses and the cOttOnSccd oil mills.
They appealed to the owners of gins
TO make a fight with the trust and
bid for the cotton, but the gin men
refused to do this.
Finally, seeing that they could not
depend upon any assistance. the mill
men and the compress men dctcrmin-
ed to go into the ginning business.
The cotton seed UilmillS in Texas are
now erecting ginncrics at which they
will gin the cotton free, retaining only
the seed for their mills
The congresses are now buying seed
cotton and doing the ginning as well
as the baling. I'm fact, all four inter
cStS, the oil mills, congresses. ginncrS
and round bale men are prepared to
gin and will bid ON the seed cotton
this fall. Ii is thought that the local
gins viii bc the worst sufferers from
this too active competition.

FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.
An Aeronaut Fell Fifteen Feet and
Was Dashed to Pieces.

AS already wired, from Paris, Sc
vcro, the aerOnaut, and one of his as
sistantS were killed by the explosion
of Severo's airshlp i'm making a trial
trip Tuesday monrning. Severe had
invited number of friends to witness
the ascension and his wife and rela-
tiveS were following the course of the
balloon in motor cars. Suddenly the
spectators were horriiied by bright
flash of light, followed by loud ex-
ploSion. The balloon, which at this
time was 300 feet above the ground
fell rapidly, landing on the roof of a
house.
The aeronaut fell in the street and
was dashed to pieces. The bones OF
his legs were forced through the soles
of his boots. The engineer who ac-
companied him was burned to death.
The accident is said to have been
caused by leakage OF gas. Severe
started with the intention OF sailing
to the military parade ground at ISSy
With an engineer named Sachet, Sc
vcro sailed out of his balloon house
near the Boulevard de Naugirard, in
excellent spirits, and full of confidence.
The aeronut put his airship through
series Of evOiutionS before starting
in the direction OF ISSy There seem
ed to he some hitch with the steering
gear and the rear propelling screw
turned with difficulty. Nevertheless.
after several stoppageS the airship sail
ed Off, moving steadily enough through
a light breeze. Suddenly puff OF wind
caught the ship and whirled it over
the Avenue Dumaine. The ship turn
ed completely around and veered about
in fashion showing that control of
her had been lost
Then, from the center of the outer
envelope, tongue of flame darted out.
This was followed by loud report re-
Sembling Il cannon shot and the ship
sank like stone, falling on the roof of
house, thence into some trees. and
finally reaching the Avenue Dumaine,
almost on top of its occupants, who
had previously been precipitated to
the stone pavement. The fearful
mangled cOrpSeS of Severe and Sachet
were conveyed to 4 neighboring police
station. The bodies presented a hor-
rible spectacle, especially that Of Sa-
chet. The flame which caused the eX-
plOSlOn burned the engineer in most
shocking manner. Practically not a
bone Of either victim was left unfrac-
turcd and both skulls were terribly
