Local and General News of Ships

For the first time Rourke's Marine

ings of the different parts of the rail-
way, prepare it for the formal INSTALL
alton, which Mr.. Rourke hopes to have
before a great while. 1t was reported
that with few slight exceptions the
railway worked all right. Mr.. Rourke
expressed himself as perfectly satisfied
with the work which he has been giving
his personal attention for several
months past.
The burning of the river steamer, the
Sun, at Memphis few months ago,
and the burning of the steamer City
of Pittsburg near Cairo this week
both casualties being accompanied by
terrible loss of life-call attention to
the fact that there has not been in all
the history of river navigation any
change or improvement in methods of
construction of steamboats,. While
ships have developed through wood to
iron and steel, and have been made
practically fireproof, as is instanced by
the arrival of a trans Atlantic vessel
whose cargo had been on fire for eight
days without the passengers knowing
anything of it, the river steamers are
just as they were at the beginning-fire
traps of the worst description. That
there are not frequent disasters is due
to the most careful watch and the en-
forcement of rigid rules on board these
vessels. The reason for continuing to
build vessels of flmsy wooden structure
is that the vessels must be of light
draft, in order to navigate the rivers at
low water; but, so far as we have OBJ
served, there has been no attempt made
to build a light draft vessel of metal
American genius should be equal to the
task of producing such boat. Perhaps
the use of metal would necessitate
some alteration in the form of the
Superstructure, and the abandonment
of the graceful and ornamental designs
that we are accustomed to see followed
in the construction of river craft, but
where safety of the passengers and
crew is concerned, we can dispense
with ornament. The government has
control of the navigation of the rivers
and upon it rests responsibility for the
continuance of the present and, old
time methods of caring for the patrons
of steamboats,. This is a subject that
could we'll occupy the attention of Con-
gress.-Mobile Register.

rison if he could direct him to tailor
shop.
MY vest button has come on he

I'm sew it on for you" said Mr.. Har-
rison. quietly.
Col. Estill was surprised. "Can you
sew" he asked.
Il can." said Mr.. Harrison, blush.ng
slightly, land what's more, 1 will,

A messenger was sent for a needle
and thread, which were furnished by
young woman stenographer.
Il don't know whether l can thread
this needle" said Harrison, after sew
eral attempts. 1T is several years
since 1 have done anything like this"
Let me try" said the candidate for
Governor.
The job proved too much for both,
and the young lady stenographer who
had furnished the needle and thread,
was once more appealed to and sue
cessfully threaded the needle. Then
with the rapidity and dexterity of an
expert, Mr.. Harrison welded the but
ton to the vest, and with many ex-
pressions of thanks, Col. Estill took
his departure.

gerous thing Bro. Estill has gone into.

Valdosta Times: Col. Estill is not
bothering himself so much about the
other candidates. but he keeps plug
ging away for himself and is doing
effective work wherever he goes. He
has proven himself a much better poll
tician than he was given credit for be-
ing, and he is Straightforward with it.
Covington Star: Col. j. H. Estill has
been making a tour of North Georgia,

himself a good mixer.

to be gaining strength among the

DIR. FELToN's BARN BURNED.

The barn of DIR. William H. FELTON,,
at his farm, three miles from Carters-
vile. was destroyed by fire Monday
night. Two horses and four mules were
burned. and also lot of corn. cotton
seed and other farm products. The
venerable doctor came near losing his
life in the flames, and Mrs. FELTON, was
severely burned. The fire was the work
of an incendiary. as was proven by a
kerosene odor emitted from the flames.
1t was at first discovered by DR.. Eel
ton from his back veranda about $50
o'clock. Calling his wife, who had re-
tired. the two sought to release the
stock. Not finding the key, the door
to the barn was broken in and DR.. Eel
ton was attempting to get the stock
out when the roof of the barn fell in,
much of the burning debris falling
about him. He emerged with his hair
and clothing burning. and in staying
the flames about him both he and MS.
FELTON, were considerably burned. The
dwelling caught fire several times, but
was saved by wet blankets. DIR. and
Mrs. FELTON, were at home alone at the
time of the fire. Help finally came,
but too late to avail anything. DR.. Eel
ton has offered a reward of 800 for
the incendiary. The loss was about
$1,000. There was no insurance.

KING PEEK RECAPTURED.

Greensboro Herald-Journal: King
Peek, charged with the Illicit
selling of whisky who escaped from
Jail with Bud Park and the Bledsoes,
was re-captured by the police at Besse-
mer, Ala, Saturday. Sheriff Oliver
left Sunday morning for that place
and returned Monday morning at
o'clock with his prisoner. Kings wife
had also been with him in Bessemer,
but had left few hours before for
Greensboro arriving at about the
same time as Sheriff Oliver with Peek.
She also was promptly arrested and
placed in jail. Peek says he does not
know who let them out, as he was
kept in the dark as to the movements
of the Bledsoes and their outside
friends. 1t is reported by some of the
Bledsoe connection that George Bled-
soc, Sr., is dead, having taken pneu-
monia from exposure the night of the
escape. 1t is alleged that he died in
or near GreshamVille. This story is
hardly credible, however; for if Bled-
soc had died it would have been an
easy matter to have produced his body
as proof of the assertion.
