Death is cruel enough when it smltes

rors indeed when it strikes down tue

in whom a thousand hopes centred, the

warmth and happiness. Such was MS
shining mark when at Phoenix Arlzoha'
on the 18th of February, 1903, oscar W.
Blacknall. Jr., fell beneath his remorse-
less hand.
Born at Kittrell Springs, N. c., septem-
Der 21st, 1877, the young man was only
in his 26th year. From earliest infancy
his personality was unique. From the
be ginning he exhibited an intelligence la
beyond his age and it was so to the emu.
In childhood books, instead of toys were
his closest comran ons and he only laid
them down TO die.
Few of his age had read as much OF
the best or read it to as good purpose
His understanding vas so quick, his I22n
ory so retentive, accurate and READY
withal, that he retained the cream Oh
twenty years reading and observation
and could reproduce it at will for the
entertainment of those with whom ne
was intimate His matchless power OF
narration irradiated by wit and humor of
the most genial and original kind charm
ed those who penetrated his deep re-
serve. He was never known TO make a
COMMONPLACE remark. The dullest book,
an apparently most prosaic journey, pass
ing through the alembic of his strangely
cnh1imaTpE
transformed into a thing of beauty and
interest to everybody. Especially did
visit to the Virginia battle fields inspire
him, bringing out his accurate knowledge
of Confederate history and resulting IN
some of his most brilliant monologues
With a spirit as retiring as Words
worth noon tide dew he was so shy that
besides the members of his fathers faml-
~ he knew only those with whom cir
cumstances threw him into unavoidable
contact. Utterly regardless of their sta
ton in life, such of these as were con-
genial through the possession of COM
mon sense of humor, of manliness, OF
sincerity (sham, pretense and cowardice
in every form being his detestation) he
drew to him with an affection most strong
and to many most strange Cold hearts
long strangers to love went out in pas
sionate attachment TO this gentle, many
sided, deeply sympathetic nature which
saw good in them that others could not
see and which touched chords in their
depths long ealloused by neglect and
scorn.
AS is often the case with minds and
temperaments of that cast he owed little
TO education in the common acceptance Of
that word. AS a school boy he was eX-
traordinarily proficient in his studies
and above all in mathematics; but text
books and school learning had little bear
ing on his intellectual training and
equipment. These he acquired direct

drawn by one who loved the young man
well. 1t may be thought that allowance
should be made for the disturbing factor
Of affection, that the Colors are too
bright and that there are no shadows
That may be But surely there must
have been something uncommon in a
mind that accomplished what he did and
in such a brief period, something rare
and uncommon in a nature that added SO
much happiness to so many lives, ana
inspired such deep and passionate love
in so many hearts.

A COLLISION AT SEA.
More Than One Hundred Passen-
gers Drowned Near Marseilles.
At the Same Time the Boilers Explod.
ed intensifying the Horrors-So
Far Thirty Dead Bodies
Have Been Recovered.

Marseilles, June 8.-More than 100
persons. passengers and crew, were
drowned near Marseilles Sunday in
| collision between the Insulaire and the
Liban, passenger steamers belonging
to the Fraissenet Steamship Co. OF
Marseilles. The Liban sank and II
passengers and II of the crew were
| saved. while the remainder persisted.
The steamer Liban left Marseilles Sun
day morning on her regular passenger
trip to Bastia, Corsica. and was run
| down and sunk by the Insulaire or
the Marie islands.
The collision was witnessed from
the pilot boat Blechamp, which was
about two miles distant The Bile
champ Immediately repaired to the
spot to render assistance. The force
OF the collision had cut a great hole
in the Liban's side and it already was
making water rapidly. The captain
saw that the only chance was to run
the steamer aground. and the Liban
was headed full speed for the shore:
but within II minutes after the col
lision and while still in deep water,
the forepart of the steamer plunged
beneath the waves and a few minutes
later it had disappeared.
In the meantime the Blechamp. the
steamer Balkan. also belonging to the
Fraissenet Co. and other vessels had
drawn near the sinking ship and were
making desperate efforts to rescue
thee on board. The Blechamp picked
up 40 persons, many of whom were a.
ha of
rescued 81 passengers and up to the
present it is known that in addition to
the passengers, II of the crew were
also saved.
Officers OF the steamer Balkan de-
scribe the scene Just before the Liban
disappeared as a terrible one. AS the
vessel was sinking it was inclined to
such an angle that her masts struck
the water causing an eddy which made
the work of rescue most difficult A
| mass OF human beings was clinging to
the laundering vessel and uttering de-
spairing cries as it went down At the
same time the boilers exploded. inter-
styling the horrors. For a few mo-
| ments the victims were seen strug-
CLING in the sea then the waves closed
| over them and all was silent. OF
about 200 passengers who were aboard
the Liban, it is feared that half were
drowned.
The Balkan launched three boats
and the other vessels did all possible
to save the victims in the short time
that elapsed between the time of the
collision and the sinking Of the Liban.
Up to s o'clock Sunday afternoon 30
bodies had been recovered.
