CAME WITHOUT WARNING
Flames Broke Out Suddenly From
Some Unknown Cause. Officers and
Men Quick to Act.

New York. BY the buring of the
Starln line steamer Glen Island in
Long Island soNnd, nine lives were
lost and property roughly estimated
at quarter of a million dollars was
destroyed. That more lives were not
sacrificed was due to the physical
courage Of officers and crew and the
excellent discipline maintained when
horrible death for all seemed almost
4 certainty. When the steamer was
abandoned she was fameswept from
stem to stern and yet the only per-
sons who lost their lives were those
whose escape had ben entirely cut off
by the fire before the alarm reached
them.
Of the thirty-one persons, including
ten passengers, who sailed away on
The Glen Island twenty-onc, including
sight Passengers, were brought back
his week. The d ad are:
Passengers-Unknown Hebrew wo-
nan, said to have resided at 206 Ham
ilton street, New Haven; unknown
IAN, supposed to be New Yorker.
Crew-W E. Hendrickson, assist
ant engineer; Luman Miller, fireman !;
Frank Brush, fireman; John Burke,
fireman; Otto L. Alolfrane, fireman; !;
D. Berge, deck hand.
The burning steamer drifted away
toward the Long Island shore. In the
meantime a tug which was passing
with a string Of barges IN ow seeing
the burning steamer cast her tow
adrift and came to the rescue of the
passenger boats.
They were taken on board the craft
placed in the furnace room of the tug,
clothing was given them and the

A farmer at Hohenlinden, Chicka-
saw county, off of sixteen acres of
land gathered fifty bushels of corn and
sixteen full weight bales of cotton.
The crop has been gathered, land
cleared and is being broken for a crop
next year. Why would anyone desire
to leave Mississippi for any land un-
der the sun in view of these, and many
other facts of like nature? This is
the greatest state of the Union and
our people are fast beginning to real
ize it. Agents seeking migration to
western sections are getting scarer ev-
