New Boat Hartford"

The Messrs. Forman's new boat,
Hartford, started on its initial trip
last Monday Mr.. Jas. p. Thomas OF
Louisville, representing tie United
States Government, inspected the boat
Wednesday afternoon and found same
to meet tie requirements Of tie Fed
eral Statutes. While tie new boat is
not so large as the 1--WE Three" which
was burned two months ego, it is
substantially built and handsomely
finished, and is sufficiently large, it
is thought. TO take care of the trade
between Hartford and Evansville. AS
did the We Three, Hartford will make
weekly trips between these points and
will do a general freight and passenger
business. The people Of Hartford and
intervening points are glad to leaIn
that Capt. Folmcn tas completed his
boat ard is now ready for business.
TIE splerdid trade which he had built
up previous to the destruction Of the
We Three, will no doubt be regained
within q short while.

ing active part in political affairs
and had not the faintest idea Of dis
turbing any one and not the least in
tention Of reflecting on any official
present or past. The article referred
to did not. There was not shadow
of politics in it. But, oh! what a

lean. Why what on earth is the
matter? Have l touched some tender
spot?l Does that department belong
especially to you and no one has a
right to refer to 1t? II SO, beg
pardon.
You know and I know that there
are many names on that list that are
among our most ablebodied citizens,
while there are many that should hav
been exonerated long ago. Shall we
infer that you favor such because
some Democratic court failed to- do
its duty and plead that as bar?

THREE MILLION
POUNDS TOBACCO
Went Up in Flames at
OwensborO.
FIRE OCCURRED YESTERDAY
Bought for Parties In Eng
land = Loss Covered
BY Insurance.

The immense tobacco factory of j.
NJ. Vaughn G. Co.. situated on the
corner OF Triplett and 18th streets
Greensboro, was burned yesterday
morning, entailing total loss. The
fire caught in the drying room
shortly before ten o'clock and spread
rapidly. The fire department re-
sronded promptly but the service was
able to save nothing only the adj
joining buildings, which, however, was
a considerable feat, as several of them
caught afire. There were 80 men
employed in the building, but there
were no fatalities or accidents.
The building was three-story af-
fair Of large dimensions, and con-
tanned at the time of the fire three
million pounds of tobacco. The tobac'
GO was valued at over s225,0CO and
the building at $42. 500.
rhe tobacco was not of the pooled
class, but had been bought up indie
pendently for parties in England. It's
value was fully covered by insurance.
The actual cause OF the fire could
not be discovered. The affair made
one of the biggest fires greensboro
has seen in years and was witness
ed by large crowd.

ON FARMERS SIDE.
Democratic Senators Take a
Stand on Very Important
Tobacco Matter.

Washington, April 19.-The Senate
Democrats have agreed TO stand sol
idly against the action CT Senator Aid
rich in striking from the Payne bill
the provision removing The tax of 6
cents on leaf tobacco in the hands
OF the farmer. The matter was
brought up in conference by Senator
Paynter, of Kentucky. who explained
to the Democrats the necessity of
united action. Only few OF the SEN
ators present. those from tobacco pro-
ducing States, understood the ques-
lion or knew a subject SO vital to the
tobacco growers was contained in the
original bill.
While q number of Senators have
received letters from the tobacco in
terests asking them to respect the
efforts being made to reinstate the
provision placed in the bill by the
House, there seems to be no doubt
that the Democratic side will united
ly oppose the Aldrich programme. The
House members from tobacco growers
States are quite enthusiastic over the
action Of the Senate Democratic con-
ference, and they are hopeful Of being
able to pick up enough Republican
votes to put up a good fight against
the organization.

STRANGE WOMAN
On Black Pony Now Touring
Kentucky-A Very PeCu-
liar Case.

Hopkinsvillc. KY. April IA
strange woman, who rides a black
pony, is accompanied by three or four
dogs as her only companiones, wears
couple Of big pistols strapped to
her waist, and who sleeps wherever
night overtakes her with only the
heavens as her shelter and o blanket
wrapped around her, has caused some
excitement in the northern portion
of this county. For several days she
was in the neighborhood of Crofton,
and she is said to be slowly making
her way TO this place.
No one seems to know anything
about the woman, and she is very
non-committal herself. One report is
that all Of her family have been vic
tins to the great white plague of
consumption and she has adopted this
outdoor method Of living in order to
ward off any symptoms OF the disease.
The woman refuses to give her name
and does not court the attention of
1t is said that when any
one approaches her camping place,the
woman hats them while they are yet
some distance away and holds CONVEX
sation at long range.
This is evidently the woman who
camped in Perry and Spencer counties
about a year ago.
