FIRE RACES IN TUNNEL.
Great Damage Being Done to South
ern Railway Structure.

Great Damage Being Done to South
ern Railway Structure.
LYNCHBURG, Va, August 13.--
Spreading rapidly and with portion
of Rivermont avenue caving in and
a fireman overcome in the fight
AGAINST the flames, the fire which
broke out yesterday in the railway
tunnel here ragged freely today. The
damage to the tunnel is estimated at
upward Of 100000. The fire is grad
ually eating its way back into the tun-
mel. The northern end, the one far
thest from the fire, was closed, and
several holes will be drilled this after
noon into the top to permit flooding
the tonnel. This would save about 900
feet of the crown of the structure.
Southern railway officials arrived
from Washington today and looked
over the situation. A fireman who
ventured 900 feet inside the tunnel
was overcome, but later revived.
The fire gained no fresh headway
late today, and it is thought now that
further progress of the flames will be
checked. Three hundred and fifty
feet of he work has been abandoned
and the effort now is to protect the
900 feet to the north Of the fire. More
than 200 feet have fallen in since yes
terday and more is expected to fall
The tunnel had not been turned over
to the Southern railway by the cor
tractors, so the fire has not 1nterfered
with the railroads operation.

A HALF CROP
FOR ARKANSAS
Veteran Planter Says That the Pres
ent Prospects Are the Poorest
Known for Forty Years.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, August ID
John M. Oracle, the largest cotton
planter in Arkansas, who is now max
ing his forty-first crop, declares that
with the exception of 1881 the present
cotton crop on his places is the poor
est in the history of his career as a
cotton producer. Mr. Oracle was in
Pine Bluff yesterday on his way to
New Gascony, from a visit to Little
Rock. He has nearly eight thousand
acres of cotton lands in this county
and all of them are being worked this
year. Mr.. Oracle owns seventeen
plantations, which are under three
arrangements at New Gascony, Han
naberry and Rob Roy. He has about
four hundred families on his places
and among them are many Italians,
imported here by Mr.. Oracle and who
are developing into most successful
tenants Mr. Oracle is the first planter
of this section to experiment with
Italian labor and is highly pleased
with the success of their work.
81 predict a production of about
$50 900 to 100000 bales of cotton for
Arkansas this year" said Mr.. Oracle
in reviewing the outlook. In 1898, the
largest cotton producing year in our
history, shipped more than 5000 bales
of cotton from my plantations. II l
make fifty per cent. of that amount
this season l will be satisfied. l will
lay a wager with any one that the
crop will not exceed fifty per cent.
this season.
1--WE can't make a crop in thirty
DAYS. Six weeks of rain from early in
June to the middle of July delayed
things to such an extent that we can
never catch up now. This was followed
bv four weeks of hot, dry weather,
which was also unfavorable for crop
making. The conditions have not been
favorable from the start. We do not
need much rain at this time, but we
are tool far behind to accomplish more
than a fifty per cent. yield. Labor is
not plentiful, but we have more Ia
bor than we had last spring"
This same report of conditions was
made by Mr.. Oracle to the New York
Journal of Commerce, which recently
asked Mr.. Oracle for an expression as
to the crop outlook.

April, 50, brought Appomattox. In
June Hood surrendered, and he wrote
the letter to the woman he loved, and
she refused to release him. Then there
opened a new life to the sadly crippled
soldier When the lovers married they
made their home in New Orleans. Their
union was blissed with many children.

fine a fighting force as the army pos
sessed. They exhibited much of his
own dash and spirit and they were
looked upon as the flower of Lees
army.
And Lee saw that they had plenty of
action. At Gaines Mill, where Hood
bore the brunt Of the battle, his brigade
lost more than half of its number. He
was in the battles of Malvern Hill, sec
ond Manassas, BoonesbObo Gap, Ante

tysburg, and then he was sent TO the
west. 1t was the belief of Hood, ana
his belief was shared by many other
soldiers, that if he been permitted to
advance on the first day at Gettysburg
and capture a position he suggested,
Meade's army would have been
crushed. But the permission was not
given and before the battle closed

At Chickamauga, two months later,
he commanded the left wing of Bragg

that bloody battle, one of the most
deadly of all the war.
ChiCkamauga marked the summit of
success for Hood. His gallantry and

declared that the question was not one
