The report seems to be confirmed
that there have been breaks in the
levees on the Arkansas and Louisiana
side of the river, one near Vandalia
in Louisiana and the other twenty
miles south of Memphis. While the
people of those sections have the SYM
pathy of Mississippians the breaks on
the other side will relieve the water
pressure ON this side to some extent
and after all we may not be visited by

PAPER FROM PINE sHAvINGs.

Inventors have long tried to dis
cover some way of eliminating the
abundant fatness from yellow pine.
1t is a white wood, but its resinous
qualities have heretofore been him
drance to its use for paper making
purposes. This trouble seems to
be readily overcome over in Texas
not on paper, but in actual paper
not in theory but in actual practice.
A small mill has been established
at Orange, and it is turning out good
grade of ''news" from pine shavings.
and the Texas editors who are about
to meet as editors will annually do,
have been invited to inspect the
plant, thus seeing with their own eyes
the waste products of their saw mills
turned into merchantable paper. Nor
is that all. A $780, 600 mill is to be
established at Houston as soon as it
can be built, and the Houston mill will
produce twenty tons of paper day
Herein is Mississippi's opportu-
nifty. If the waste material of our
saw mills can be transformed into pa
per, the wealth of the state will be
doubled in the course of twenty years.
The cosumption of paper is enormous.
Spruce is cut and carried by rail hun
dreds of miles in order to supply the
paper mills. In this state the raw
material is at hand at every saw mill.
The Press will not dwell upon the
possibilities thus presented. Our
lumber kings will speedily ascertain
the value of the Texas process. They
have the raw material to burn, and if
they can convert it into paper they
can be trusted to do so quickly and on
a grand scale. Besides clothing the
world we would then make its paper,
and this is glory enough to make
Mississippi famous, and money enough
to make us all as community rich.
Meridian Press.
The Progress was handed by q
friend this morning a copy of the
Orange Daily Tribune which claims to
be printed on the paper manufactured
in that city and from yellow pine
shavings. The quality of the paper
is as good as any news paper if not bet
ter than that generally used. If it is
a fact that the yellow pine shavings
can be converted into paper success
fully factory could get all the shay
ings it could use just for the hauling.

FATAL CRASH OF TRAINS
An Express Strikes a Freight 1t
Red House, N. Y.
Bodies Of the Victims Found In the Wreck
age-Many Persons Injursd-FlamsS
Destroy Passenger Coaches.

Jamestown, N. Y.-Eight persons are
dead and ten are injured, three Of them
seriously, as a result of a collision be.
tween an express train and a freight
train on the Erie Railroad near Red
House, N. Y.
OF the dead only one, Robert n.
Hotchkiss, Of Meadville, a brakeman,
was identified. Seven bodies, appar.
| entity those of three men; three women
and a child, were burned beyond recog-
milton in the fierce fire which followed
| the wreck. The women are said to
have boarded the train at Youngstown,
and to have come from Pittsburg.
r. S. McCready; mail weigher; of
Meadville; Pa, and Frank Barhite; Of
jamestown, a travelling salesman, were
missing, and it was likely two of the
unidentified bodies were those Of the
two men.
The wrecked passenger train was a
vestibuled limited express, known as
No. 4, running from Chicago to New
York, and was made up of Engine
545, in charge Of Engineer Samuel
Cook and Fireman Fred Bell, of Mead
WIG, OuC COIuDludtlO Cdtt tWO udy
coaches, three sleepers and two private
cars. 1t was derailed by striking a
freight train which was entering Z
siding at Red House.
The passenger engine and some Of
the coaches ran on beside the track
for a distance of three rods and crashed
into a small wooden structure used as
a feed store and school house. The
first half dozen cars of the freight were
| wrecked. They were box cars loaded
| with coal. The coal filtered in among
the wreckage. All but three Of the
| cars of the express followed the en-
CINE, and the whole mass Of wreckage
was soon in flames. The combination
car, two day coaches and two Sleep
ers, besides several freight cars, were
consumed.
There is some dispute : to the cause
of the wreck. The passenger train
was running east, and the freight,
, which was w%estbound, had orders to
| go into the siding at Red House and
wait for the passenger train to go by.
The siding is about a mile and a half
long, and there is a tower Of the block
system near the west end.
The freight was drawn by two en-
gines. Some trouble was experienced
in entering the siding, and the foremost
engine Of the freight was sent in along
the siding with a 1agman to hold the
express. It is alleged that the operator
in the tower-Lawrence Vale, a boy
seventeen years old-saw the light en-.
CINE Of the freight which was bringing
up the fagman, and supposed the
freight vas on the siding behind ii.
With this mistaken idea, it is thought,
Vale displayed a white signal toward
the passenger train, indicating to the
engineer that he had a clear track.
The engineer on the passenger train
failed to see the flagman sent out from
the forward engine of the freight train,
and saw only the clearance signal from
the tower. The train ran toward the
east end Of the siding at high speed,
struck the second engine of the freight
train just as it was about to clear the
main line, tearing off the cylinder and
part Of the cab, and jumped the track.

Discovery of an Aztec Mine.

THAT prospectors and miners can
never be certain that they have
worked out a property was clearly de-
monstrated by the recent discovery or
a fabulously rich deposit of silver in
an abandoned mine in the Altar dis
trict of Mexico a short while ago."
said d. A. Macon. 1.-THE mine was an
ancient one, and had evidently been
abandoned many years ago by the
Aztecs who had worked it. The recent
discovery was made quite by accident
The underground system of workings
is very extensive, and there is in sight
over $1,000,000 worth of silver ORE
The recent exploration of the mine
showed the skeletons of ten men lying
in one of the chambers. A large sup
ply of mining tools made out of copper
was also found. Piles of rich silver
ore were stored in underground cham
bers which will cost little to take out
