BILOXI EWS NOTES.
COAST ELECTRIC LINE.
SCHOONER ANNIE REDDING OF
BILOXI SINKS OFF CAT ISLAND
-GULFPoRT- BILOXI ELECTRIC
LINE AN EARLY REALITY.

Biloxi, Miss, Dec. 30. sThe schooner
Annie Redding, owned by,Cbarles Red
ding, OF this city, sank laAt night off the
south of Cat Island IN twelve feet of
water. She was heavily loaded with
oysters for Biloxi cannery, and was to
have brought her cargo to this port to-
day. The Captain, Peter Parker, and
crew OF four men, were asleep in the
cabin, and the vessel was lying at an
chor in dead calm wbsn sho sank.
The first intimation the slsftled seamen
had OF their danger was Whon the water
came rushing through the companion
hatch into the cabin. They had diff
Guilty in getting out against the rush of
water, but were all fortunate enough to
do SO. They entered their skiff before
the vessel sank and were shortly after
ward picked up by another oyster schoo-
ner and brought this morning To Biloxi.
No one seems to know the cause OF the
leak. The Annie Redding was com
paratively new boat, and was considered
one OF the stanchest craft In the local
oyster trade.
Her draft was not near equal to the
depth Of water where she went down.
and her center-board was up, so she
could not have pounded on the bottom.
II the weather remains calm, the vessel
can be noated without great expense.
She settled on the soft mud and shell
bottom on an even keel, and her masts
are Standing TO mark the place. ItSas
near this same place ysar ago that the
schooner Gertie Rhodes sank and two of
her seamen were drowned.
Biloxians now feel that the Gulfport-
Biloxi electric line is thing OF the near
future, Yesterday party of surveyors
began work at the Camp Grounds, west
Of Biloxi, and started a minute survey
Of the proposed line between the two
cities. The work will be done under
the charter granted TO Mr.. Penny, OF
Gulfport, and others. Mr.. Penny says
that he has plenty Of capital behind him
to build and equip the road, and that
construction will begin as soon as con-
tracts can b. let Tne right-uf-way has
oeen secured to the city limits Of Biloxi,
where tho lao will connect with tho
Biloxi Electric Street Railway and
Power Complny's line, if the Penny
Company does not build on into the city.
The carly completion of this line, OF
which the prospect seems to give indi
cation, has givcn new impetus to the
sale OF realty in that cad OF the city and
along the proposed line.

jackson, Miss, Dec. %. The recent
warning sounded by Senator Foster OF
Louisiana regarding the probable effect
II the various arbitration treaties on the
repudiated bonds Of the Southern Statos.
seems to have inspired Northern spccu-
lators with the belief that these bonds
may be ultimately pail, Seoretsry OF
state Power has geQeivad several lctiecs
from NopheFn syndieates asking infor.
nation as to the whereabouts Of ths re-
pudiatcd Mississippi bonds, and one Of
these letters received thi, morning from
firm in ol.nog1 states that the writer
Is anxious TO buy the "r pudiated bonds
OF Mississippi. The writer also re.
quests all information obtainable as to
the Whereabouts Of the bonds.
There has been more or less agitation
oout- the rapudiated bonds OF this State
Of recent years, and especially since the
suit Of North Dakota against South
Carolina, in viii h it was held that the
South Carolina bonds must be paid.
The Mississippi bonds, however, stand in
a totally different attitude from the
bonds OF any other Of the Southern
States, These bonds we're issued In the
"fush tines, when the State embarked
in the banking business. When the
banks broke and the bonds were pre-
sented for payment suit resulted, and
the Supreme Court OF the State held
that the bonds were valid debt and
should be paid. At the time OF this de-
cision the judges we're elective by the
people, and in tho election for judges
which followed the chief justice who
delivered the opinion was defeated on
account of the unpopularity OF the de-
cision. A Legislature was elected at the
same time and ia the campaign the
proposition Of paying the bonds was
made an issue, with the result that the
Legislature elected was overwhelmingly
opposed 10 payment and declined to
make any provision for satisfying the
judgment rendered in favor OF the bond
holders by the supreme court.
The matter stood in this shape until
the constitutional convention Of 1890
met, and there was incorporated pro-
vision in what is the present State con-
stitution to the effect that these bonds
should never be paid. In the South
Carolina case the honds we're issued to

Advertising Pays.

The man who would be successful
must lot the world know that he wants
to succeed. In this day and time the
gum shoe seldom treads the path to vic
tory Of one kind or another. Who Is
not familiar with the mustachcd face
and unusually high forehead OF the man
who is to be the next governor of Mas
sachusetts? An OF us have seen IL In
print practically every day for long
time, and the West knew it as well as
the East, says the indianapolis News.
When the Democrats of Massachusetts
nominated William l.. Douglas as their
candidate for governor, there was no
need to explain who he was. No one
asked, because every one knew. And
when Mr.. Douglas entered his new
sphere of activity he did not fall into
the ways OF those who we're already
there. He had methods of his own.
which he had tried and found effective.
Printers ink and paste we're among his
most able lieutenants, and the people OF
Massachusetts knew from the advertise
ing columns OF the public prints, which
were freely used, and from the bill
boards all over the State that the man
who had been successful in one way WAS
determined to be successful in another.
Mere political schemes were not de-
pended on; statements, interviews and
the like, which so often fall short OF the
multitude, we're supplanted by the
means which never fail to reach.--Ex

build a railroad and the road was held to
be liable for payment of the bonds. In
the Mississippi case the bonds we're IS
sued to establish bank and the bank
failed, and all Of its assets vanished into
thin air. Hence Mississippi had moth
ing to fear from the decision in the
South Carolina case. A judgment was
already recorded against Mississippi,
but there was no way to satisfy it except
by act of the legislature.
The new question raised by Senator
Foster has caused some interest here,
though IL is not exactly clear as to how
an arbitration treaty could ,mpel the
legislature Of State to make an applo. .
priation.

IN copper retort, similar to that used
IN distilling the pure rosin, and is eyapo-
raeed IN like manner to it. The final
products are wood spirits, turpeptine

GUS TO mention. These by products de-
serve special notice. Several of them
the most abundant in quantity. are nth.
lied in mixing certain paints. in which
there Is no danger Of marring the col
ofs. A number OF others are being
used for medicinal purposes. The great
difnculty lies, not in the production Of
them, for it is well known that this hv-
drocarbon series may be carried on to
almost unlimited extent; but it is in
their unstable nature that the trouble
rests. What they are today they may
not De tomorrow. Notwithstanding this
instability, they are being tightly bot
tied to prevent as far as possible their
breaking up, and are being sold in con-
siderable quantities by some factories.
Furthermore, the most skilled chemists
are constantly working toward methods
OF increasing their stability. 1t is quite
natural that the introduction OF the new
oy-products should be met with opposi-
ton. The turpentine was first attacked
because OF its yellow color. Tho light
wood factory's chemist immediately
went to work and discovered means OF
making it clear. Next, 1t was claimed
that the turpentine was little more than
wood alcohol, but that idea was success
fully routed. The present ground of at
tack is upon the asserted inferior specific
gravity OF the wood spirits turpentine,
and this claim is now being vigorously
assailed by the opposition.

Affirmed. January "a fixed as day of

The Fugitt case is one OF the most in
teresting that has been decided at this
term OF court. He isa white man, a we'll
to-do farmer, and in a row over some
stock belonging to neighbor named
Cunningham, killed him. He was con-
victed in the Prentiss county court and
took an appeal, the case being reversed
or remanded on some technical point
He has been in the courts now two or
three years, and this is the third time
the Supreme Court has passed on his
case. =
Another important decision was in the
Patterson case from Pamela county.
Patterson had been convicted on the
charge OF giving away red liquor, which
is crime under the 'Dinsmore law"
but the judges of the Supreme court of
Mississippi are OF a different opinion
so long as the drink is not given away
to induce trade or bring business.
