MARINE DISASTER.

A dispatch from Madrid says the
Spanish steamer Lsrsche, 1900 tons
struck, on Tuesday afternoon, during 9
fog on the rocks off Ximiels, where
the Cardinal Cisueros and many other
ships have been lost, and ssuk in q few
minutes. The sea was rough at the
time. The vessel carried a crew OF
ninety-eight and ninety-seven passen'
gers. 1t is known that l07 have been
saved. The drowned number SO.
The Lsrsche had called at Oadiz to
embark passengers from Argentina for
northern ports. She was bound for
Muros. 1t is believed she. struck an
unknown rock, as the captain and pilot
we're both familiar with the coast,
and shaped the course to avoid the
rocks.
There was terrible panic when the
vessel struck, and all the small boats,
when lowered, were capsized or smashed
against the steamer. Fishermen put
out from various points and rescued
many of these on board. They landed
forty-seventy at Muros and fifteen al
Lon.
Special dispatches received in London
from Oorunna indicate that the sinking
of the steamer may prove very serious
disaster.
1t is impossible to obtain complete
datsiI4, but The lhtest reports state thai
seventeen women we're among the
drowned.

line railroads were made the same as.
the previous year and as the Repub-
lican board had left it two years be-
fore, while the branch lines were ac-
tually reduced $500 per mile.
Since that time the Republicans
have been in the majority on the
board of equalization and the assess
ment of the railroads has gradually
been increased year by year until
this year when the assessment was
fixed at $4,000 per mile.
The above statement is made not
to prove that the Democrats as a
body are not in favor of taxing the
railways all that they should be as
sessed, but rather to show that it
isn't partisan question at all as
Gov. Burke attempts to make it.; or
if it is, then Democrats have but lit

Electric Engines In Mines.

The first electric mine locomotive
was built In 1887. 1t looks as clumsy,
compared to It's modern successor,
as the model Of the first railway loco
motive besides the gigantic machines
turned out from the shop in the year
1907.
Some OF these early creations, how
ever have lasted straight through the
period of Improvement and are still
in operation. One such WAS built In
1889. AT the time OF the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition in Buffalo the officials
whose duty II was to gather exhibits
for the Electrical Building decided to
obtain this locomotive.
They wrote to the manager Of the
mine where 1t had been used to ask
II 1t could be ttresurfected from the
scrap heap. The manager replied,
with some indignation, that it could
not be 4resurTected from the scrap
heap" heing still In operation; but
that it could be loaned, provided 4
new locomotive were to be substituted
to do the work during its absence.
