UNKNOWN STEAMER BURNS
Vessel Sighted Blazing From Stem to
Storm South Of Cape Race.

Vessel Sighted Blazing From Stem to
storm South Of Cape Race.
Halifax, N. San unknown steam
er. on fire from stem to stern, and
with no signs of life on board, was dis
covered 300 miles south Of Cape Race
by the steamer seydlitz, from Bremen
for New York. Her position was given
as latitude 41.27 north and longitude
SLOT west
The. Seydlitz Immediately called by
wireless for assistance and response
came from the Franconia, so miles to
the eastward, bound for Boston, and
the Olympic, 200 miles to the west,
headed for New York. The Seydlitz
circled. around the burning vessel, but
the smoke hung so heavy about her
that her name could not be distin-
guished
AS no small boats were discovered
in the vicinity, and as the Olympic
had passed not far from the scene
twelve or fifteen hours before, it was
believed here that the unnamed yes
sci caught fire sometime after mid
night, and that all hands were res
cued by some ship which had no wire
less
+, The weather on the Grand Banks
was moderate, and it was thought that
any transshipment could have been
accomplished easily.

Ratea Rased on vaIue VaIld.

Washington. Passing on the death
of mule in transit from East st.
Louis, H., to Raleigh, N c., the Su-
preme court held again that rates bas-
ed on value are valid. In this case
the bill of lading fixed the rate on a
valuation of $500 on the mule. The
supreme court of North Carolina held
that the railroad was responsible to
the ]. M. Pace Mule company for the
full value of the dead mule, $500. The
court reversed the state court, mold
ing that the value in the bill of lading
must be used in fixing the damage.

MEETING OF
THE CIVIC LEAGUE,

The regular semi-monthly meet
ing of the Civic League took place
on Monday last at Hotel Frederic.
The topics discussed by the
members were the projected Nata.
forum for the boys of our city
and the duty Of the citizens, espe
cially the merchants and house
keepers to advance the sale of all
home grown and home manufac-
tured articles. The'League wishes
to place itself on record as being
purchasers of anything produced
by our own people and as offering
all encouragement to tho infant
industries in our midst, that these
industries may gradually increase
in growth and thus rebound to- the
business Importance Of New Ibe-
ria.
The plan commences with the
bousekeeper, who must make It .
duty to demand Of her retail gro.
Ger any canned or bottled goods or
the product of any manufactOry
of our vicinity. IL her grocer
cannot supply these then her pat
rOnage should be transferred to
the merchant who can do so.
The. plans for the proposed Ma.
tatorium are still only of the
vaguest, but the League 10 deter.
mined to make try for this de.
slrable project and as first step
will seek the advice and CO opera
ton of the men of New Iberia,
many of whom have expressed
themselves as deeply interested;
therefore with this end in view
the preliminary step taken by the
League will be to call a meeting
to which both ladies and gentle
men Of the city are earnestly in.
vited, to discuss ways and means.
The women of New iberia have
been fighting and begging for
years for aid to establish q Public
Library and a Park. Gan we desig.
nate one town of our size that has
not a Public Library or a Park, or
bothg Shame to US as an intelligent
community, representative Of the
Advancing South, that we have
not what others have. Then let
US at least, have something OF
which to be proud. A NatatOrium
for our boys will be wise and
creditable object for our endeav-
Ors.
Let every father aud mother,
every member of FraterDal and
Civic bodies Of New Iberia, be
present at the meeting which Is to
be held at the Courthouse on Fri.
