TERRIBLE OCEAN DISAsTEAR.

A heavily laden schooner crushed
into a passenger steamer, in Block
Island Bay, r. l., on Tuesday, causing
the Larchmont (the steamer) to sink
in a few minutes, with the loss OF al
most every one on board.
A terrible storm of sleet and ice
was raging, and, even though many
of the passengers and crew were able
to get into boats anu on RATS, they
were frozen to death, their bodies
being cased in ice.
Out of over 200 people on board, not
a score were rescued, and even the
few rescued are so badly frozen that
there is doubt of their recovery.
A band of Salvation Army workers
were on board and they sang Jesus
Lover of My Soul" until engulfed in
the cruel waters.
Another illustration of the Biblical
warning to those that go down into
the sea.

ABLE AND PROMINENT LAWYER
DIES.

Our city was shocked and surprised,
on Tuesday afternoon. when the news
came that Hon. Geo. II. Alexander,
OF Louisville had died suddenly at
Asheville. n. c.. that day.
While it was known that Mr..
AleXanders health was poor and that
he had, a few days before, gone to
Asheville to recuperate. no one looked
for the end to come so soon.
Mr.. Alexander was 40 years of age,
having been born and reared at Louis
Vile. He graduated in law at the
University of Virginia He also
served one term as State Senator
from the city of Louisville. He was
a man of ability and integrity. He
was serving as Auditors Agent for
the State-at-large at the time Of his
death.
Mr.. Alexander leaves wife (who
was Miss Carrie V. Holt, daughter of
Judge w. H. Holt. and four small
children to mourn his untimely death.
The remains were brought back to
Louisville for interment.
The sympathy of many friends in
this city goes out to the bereft.

Carriers of the seventh grade, be-
ing those in the first year of service,
$500 annually.
Carriers of the sixth grade being
those who have served one year, 500

5000 per annum.

those who have served five years, ST..
100 per annum.

In all Kentucky cities containing a
population of less than $4,000 the let
ter-carriers at free delivery offices,
under the Crane bill, are to be paid as
follows, provided the bill becomes a
law
Carriers of the fifth grade, being

The postoffice appropriation, as re.
ported into the House by the Commit.
tee on Postoffice and Postroads, by
Chairman Overstreet, fixes another
scale of compensation for carriers, and
it remains to be seen whether it or the
Crane bill will become the law on the
subject. The action of the Senate is
very significant, however.

The changes in the time of trains

are not so radical as it was at first
thought they would be. No. II, which

to arrive at 7:lO a. m; No. IA at 1850
a. M; No. Is at $50 p. m, and No. 10
at 9:3O a. IN. Owing to the late ar
rival of No. IS, the evening mail will
not be distributed until the following
morning.
Saturday evening when train No. Is
pulled into Red Cloud one coach was
''set out" owing to there being four
''dagoes" in the car whom 1t was
thought had smallpox. Three of the
foreigners were finally allowed to pro-
ceed on their way to Salt Lake City
and the fourth was taken to the pest
house near the river. The prompt
measures taken by the officials will
undoubtedly prevent the spread of the
disease.
