Lee Blackwell Dead.

Mondays dailies contained account
of the burning of the City of Pittsburg
i'll the Ohio river a few miles above
Cairo, H., attended with loss Of the
lives of nearly 100 of it's crew and pas
sengers. Among the list, as stated by
the papers, were w. D. Blackwell, Of
Pittsburg, and E. L. blackwell and
daughter Fannie, who for years have
been residents ofs Boyle, and who were
returning from visit to MIR. Blackwell's
father at New Castle, Pa. They took
the ill-fated steamer at Cincinnati, ex-
pecting to leave it at Memphis or Rose
dale. w. D. Blackwell was returning
with them for visit.
The accident which caused such fright
ful loss of life occurred about 5 O'Clock
Sunday morning, and is thought to have
been due to an electric wire which ignit
ed the forward part of the boat. All the
were asleep i'll the cabins and
the fire burned with such a fierceness
that rescue work was impossible. AS
soon as word of the fate Of the boat was
learned, A. Woolfork, of Boyle, left for
the scene, and his identification of the
Blackwells was such as to leave no
doubt that they were passengers and
were lost.
Mrs. Blackwell and son, wife and child
of E. L. Blackwell, will have the tender
est sympathy of all our people in this
their sad hour.-Cleveland Enterprise.
Mr., Blackwell was resident of Rose
dale several years ago, and there are
many here who will deeply regret his
sudden and violent death.

the woman was completely envel-
oped in flames. She was burned al
most to a crisp before her cries
brought help. She died in terrible
agony about 10 O'Clock that night.

Possibly never I'm the history Of
the black land belt has the peach
crop been as large as II Is this year.
A reporter for this paper was this
morning shown some samples Of the
Elberta peach grown by T. j Tin
gle in the north part of town, which
were very fine in size and flavor.
Mr.. Tingle has two acres in peaches
and bis trees are loaded with fruit.
j w. keneriek presented us with
some samples Of his Chinese cling,
another prolific and luscious variety.
The immensity OF the crop this
year thoroughly demonstrates that
just as geod fruit can be raised on
the black land as on the sand If the
proper attention is given il. Tlas
paper would like 10 see the citizens
Of the town and country turn their
attention more 10 fruit raising. OF
course 1t is expensive TO pat out an

turns from IL will more than com
pensate one for the trouble and ex.
pense incurred.
