 HI ELDRED'S DISAPPOINTMENT Hi Eldred is mourning and will net be COmforted. He received the greatest disappointment of his life yesterday with the single exception of the time Jake Miller prevented his nomination for congress. A few days ago a big fine black bird came to his ranch and made itself al home. MT. E,ldred at once sized it up and concluded 1t was a turkey that had lost it's road in its wanderings and ordered it put in coop and entertained as hospitably as possible. He announced that nothing which had paid him the honor of stopping at his ranch. Secretly he intended to vary his Christmas dinner from roast pig to roast turkey. The bird was taking on flesh very rapidly and all went we'll till yesterday when Mir. Eldred learned that it was one of Joe Bush's pet crows that had strayed away from home.
 TWO OF THE STRANDED-Yes- terday afternoon two men of an entire ly different kind applied to the board Of supervisors for admission to the county hospital. 1-e first was young. well and even elegantly dressed from shoes to overcoat. There was mixture of German and Boston breed ing about him for he had come from Boston. When he left there in search of relief from what the doctors said was bronchitis he had $6, 900; when h. applied for entrance to the hospital he had not cent or an acquaintance. He was informed the hospital was merely called one for euphony, that it was a poorfarm. He was advised by the clerk of the board to make one more struggle. He went away and late in the afternoon had not returned. The other candidate was home talent. a drunken loafer who is in trouble of one kind or another most of the time, He is generally in jail but just now he is in the throes of tuberculosis He was afraid that he was going to die. Said he: ri live until May f of next year T won't give a dam for all of Maricopa county I'll have $4,5OO life insurance

NEAR DEATHS DOOR.
MISS NANCYE DUVALL HOPE.
LESSLY ILL IN CINCINNATI.

Miss Nancye Duvall, who taught
French and the violin in Paducah last
winter, and was very popular here, is
hopelessly i'll at her home near Cincin
natl. For seven weeks she has been
precariously i'll from brain fever, aud
yesterday friends in the city received
a message that she could not live more
than "a hours, at the most.
Miss Duvall had accepted a position
in one of the Lexington colleges to
teach French, but was taken i'll two
days before time to begin her work.
Yesterday all hope was abandoned,
and she was to have been moved to her
home at Terrace Park, a few miles
from Cincinnati, to die there.
This will indeed be sad news to
the young lady's many friends and
admirers here. She was one of the
most popular girls in society while
here, and her illness will be regretted
by all who know it.

Mr.. G. W. Robertson's Grocery De-
stroyed by Fire Last Night.
The Total Loss Will Be About $780,
900. %, 500 OF Which Is Mr..
Robertson's.
GOOD WORK OF FIREMEN

South Second street was visited by
the worst conHsgration in several
years this morning shortly after mid.
night, when the grocery Of Mr.. @.
W. Robertson was destroyed by fire.
The building is located three doors
from the alley, on south Second street
across from the mar ket house, and
the blaze was discovered about 1890
O'Clock. wheD the firemen reached
there the flames had gained great head
way and il was stubborn fire to
fight
A large crowd was attracted to the
scene and considerable confusion re-
suited among the spectators from an
explosion of gasoline, which blew out
all the windows in the building 1t
is not thought that over few gallons
exploded, however, as the big tank
was found to be intact this morning.
The origin of the blaze is mystery.
Some think it started near the scales,
down stairs, and some think it started
up stairs. Chief Wood is not certain
where it had its inception.
The building, which belongs to
Mrs. Tom Davis, OF Smithlsnd, was
Quilted, and the roof, walls and floors
are badly damaged. By dint Of hard
and telling work the other buildings
were saved, but one next door owned
by Mrs. N. ]. Williams, was some.
whs. damaged. She has s2, 900 insur-
Anoe on it.
Mr.. Robertsohs stock is q total
loss. II was valued at GO, 500, and he
has $500 On the stock and fixtures,
$500 being on the latter The build
ing is also insured, and the loss will
be 81, 900 or more on it, fully covered
by insurance
II is not known what the loss to the
building owned by Mrs. Williams will
be, but it is fully covered by insurance
also.
There had been no FIRE in Mr.. Rob.
ertson's grocery this fall, and it is
supposed the blaze originated from an
electric wire.
The members of the fire department
deserve much praise for their excellent
work, which prevented a spread of the
flames. and the destruction Of some Of
the most valuable property in the
city.
Mr.. Robertson formerly occupied
the building on the alley, but several
months ago moved to his present loca-
tion few doors above.

CAUSE OF DISASTER.
Three flues IN an old boiler gave
down and blew out both heads, wreck =
ing the cabins aft and the machinery
below Amount of damage to tug IN
known.
Captain william Rollins of Fifth
and Monroe streets, this morning re-
oeived letter from his son, Pilot
John Rollins, we'll known in Psducah,
announcing that his boat. the Fred
Nellis, had blown up about 1880
O'Clock yesterday morning and that he
aud the captain were the only ones
who escaped injury.
The Nellis is a small towboat that
formerly came here, and todsy's Mem
phis Commercial.Appesl gives the fol-
lowing account OF the disaster:
Il was a bright Sabbath morning.
All was hustle and activity on board
the boat, which had weighed anchor
an hour before, and was going under
full head of steam against the current.
Her chief engineer was at his post in
the fire pit stoking, while the second
engineer was aft minding the engine.
The chief engineer was in bad hu-
NOR. He is said to be noted for his
violent temper, and for making his
boat run accord ing to his own liking,
His fireman had jumped the boat at
Memphis, and two deckhands had left
her at Mound City, because they were
asked to act as stokers, This was cal
culated to make the chief engineer
mad. His fire was doing badly, and
it was occupying his entire attention.
He spent some time in the fire pit add
ing fuel to the flames IN the box, and
increasing the head Of steam that was
surging through the fiues Of the boil
err.
The cook had jumped the boat at
Memphis, and a negro boy had been
shipped in his place. This turnkey
knew nothing Of the art culinary, and
the wife Of the chief engineer, at the
request Of her husband, had gone TO
the kitchen on the upper deck aft, to
cook breakfast With the assistance
of the fiunkey she had completed her
task, the table was spread in the Off
GERS dining room, and the captain
called to his morning meal
Mrs. Hill, the wife Of the chief
engineer, dispatched the fluDkey to

the lower deck with a message to
her husband to come eft to break
fast. Frank Hill remained at his
post in the fire pit. "Tell her to
send me a cup of coffee. l can't
leave the boiler now until the fire gets
right" said he and he rakeo under
the CRATES and added fuel to the
flames. The flunkey returned with
the message.
As be entered the kitchen Mrs. Hill
was in the act Of placing a cup Of
coffee on the dining table for the
captain, who stood on the opposite
side Of the table, about to seat HIM
self. The chief engineer at the same
moment jumped from the fire pit to
the guards on the right, to get a
breath of fresh air, and while mop
ping his brow, was almost hurled
from his feet by an explosion.
In second the tranquility Of the
boat was changed to the madness OF
the maelstrom; in the twinkle Of an
eye the order of the tug fore and aft
was deranged, wrecked and in con-
sternation. The tiues in the boiler
broke down and the hot steam broke
from its irou tenement and gushed
like q mighty torrent in opposite di-
rections, carrying death and destruc-
ton in its wake
Mrs. Hill was in the direct path of
the stream Of scslding water and
caught the full force of it in her face
and body, being hurled with mighty
force into the farthest corner Of the
kitchen, over tine hot stove and buried
beneath the debris which the strong
stanchions held and piled up around
her ouivering form.
The turnkey was hit obliquely, but
with sufficient force to carry him with
Mrs. HILL and his dark skin was
changed by tho deluge Of steam and
water which poured on them until the
boiler exhausted itself
Billie Phillips, the second engineer,
was lifted from his feet and hurled
headlong to the partition which di-
vides the engine room from the
wheel,
Captain Ledger was knocked back
into his cabin by the table, which was
overturned at the first onslaught of
the unlocked steam.
Deckhands were thrown into the
water, and machinery wrested from
its bed and wrecked.
Mrs. Hills little boys, as was their
wont, had been following their moth
err about the tug all morning. About
five minutes before the explosion &C.
Cured their father called them from
the kitchen and sent them to the Sec
ond barge before to look for his old
hat While engaged in this search
the catastrophe took place, and their
lives were spared.
Upon reaching Memphis at s O'Clock
the hospital attendants made an ex-
amiDation and saw that their agency
could not save the lives of Phillips and

President Fish Pleased with the
Condition Of the Illinois Central
He Says it Will Remain Independent
Some Of the Problems to
Be Solved.
OTHER NEWS OF THE ROAD.

President Stuyvesant Fish, of the
Illinois Central, who was here Satur-
day, when he was in Louisville had
quite an interview with the Courier
journal.
Mr.. Fish said the Illinois Central
had always been an independent line,
and then he was reminded of another
story to speak his thoughts as to the
future. lie related this incident in
the life of Mr.. Roberts. of the New
York Central, when questioned on
control:
well, for thirty years the directors
have been running this road, and 1
have been trusted with voting the
proxies to elect these directors. 1 see
no prospects OF the stockholders
changing their minds.
Mr.. Fish would not tell what he
thought about the absorption Of the
L. and N. by the Atlantic Coast Lin Q
He expressed himself as well pleased
with the physical oond ition of the Ill
inois Central, talking at some length
on the double tracking Of the system.
I'm this regard it is a condition and
not theory that oonfronts us" said
Mr. Fish, land sooner or later all
roads must face it. Double tracks are
now as essential almost as the first
mileage of the country, and they will
not pay for themselves any more read
lily than did the building of the origi-
nal track The increase in revenues
cannot be expected to be commensurate
with the cost of putting down the SEQ
ond track, that is, not for some time
to come, anyway, but the expenditure
was a necessity and will of course pay
for itself ultimately:
Another problem quite as serious
is drawing the line clearly between
traction travel and railroad traffic in
the big cities, There are but two so.
iutions depression or elevation Of the
tracks. We met the emergency in Chi
cago by elevation. In that city we
are handling 1900 trains a day, five
every six minutes. Imagine what we
could do with so many trains on the
surface with the city in the oongested
state it is at present.
Reverting to expenditures for dou.
BILE tracking, Mr.. Fish said the Illinois
Central company had found it neces-
sary to straighten many curves and re-
duce many grades at big cost He said
81 200, 900 was spent on 32 miles Of the
southern portion of the road perfect
ing 1t as to grades and curvatures, max
ing the expenditure on improvements
greater than the cost of the original
track.
