A BLAZING volcano.
wimt a Party Saw In the Region of the
Colorado Desert.
San Diego. Cal., March 11.—A party
of prospectors who were in the New
River region of the Colorado desert at
the time of the recent earthquakes, have
just returned, and bring in a story of a
blazing volcano.
" We were on the lower Laguna moun
tains, close to the Mexican boundary
line, and about midway between San
Diego and Yuma,” they say, "when the
earthquake occurred. It was felt sharply
then, and our first thought was to look
for an outbreak of the volcano; but to
i our surprise, instead of an outbreak,
(moke and basy steam, which is always
visible in this region, had disappeared.
That night we heard a rambling noise
and the smo’- returned much thicker,
•nd that night from the mountain tops
we could plainly see the flame shooting
up. The volcano appeared to be about
forty miles away, and located in Mexi
can territory. The flames were not high
above the level of the desert, and ap
peared to come from a pit-hole."
O’ltrlen’* Bondsmen Sned.
CHATTANOOGA, March 1L—The an
nouncement that O'Brien’s bondsman
will be sned has created considerable
comment. M. H. Clift, counsel for the
bondsmen, said that the Cstholio
Knights had investigated the accounts
of O'Brien and declared them to be all
right before the bondsmen signed the
bond, when in reality the steal had been
made. The clients will resist the snit
on the ground of fraud having been
practiced upon them by the knights.
The Fidelity Trust and Surety compa
ny of Philadelphia, is the security, dur
ing whose surety the heaviest depreda
tions were committed. The other bonds
men against whom snite will be brought
are John Crimins, John Camming and
Joan Light of Chattanooga.

A Boat on a Raw Plan.
Dubuque, Iowa., March 10.—The
Iowa Iron Works, of this city, have un
dertaken to build a boat*on an entirely
new plan, the object of which is to
navigate the river and the ocean. It is
to he bnilt after ths style of what is
called the Lucas plan, and will be the
first boat bnilt. It will have one bow
and two sterns, each of whioh will have
rodder and a screw, so if one is dis
abled there will remain half the power
to make port. She will carry an ad
justable center-board, which, it is
1 thought, will answer the purpose of a
deeper draft. The boat will be about
900 feet long and from 80 to 88 feet
beam. She will be built entirely of
steel and will cost about $209,000, and it
is expected that she will carry a cargo
in weight eqalling 60.000 bushels of
wheat on five feet of water, which
will be remarkable if such results are
secured. This vessel, when finished,
will be sent with a cargo to the Amazon.
She will then go up the river 600 miles
-er more to the coffee plantations and
take from them direct the products
which now have to he rehandled.

Columbus, O., March 10. — Henry
fiimes, a dairyman who lives on Chap

bis 75th year, attempted suicide by
shooting himself in the mouth with a
revolver. The unfortunate man has
been suffering with epitheliomal cancer.
The horrid sore has eaten so into the

hold a mirror to his face whenever he
eats, in order that the food would pass
from the fork to tee month, and not
into the awfnl hole eaten by the cancer.
The wound inflicted is fatal, and all
that the physicinns did was to adminis

The Debate Now uomg on In Congress
Washington, Match 9.—The tariff
discus-ion of the Fifty-second congress
opened in the House of Representatives
today, with Representative McM llin,
of Tennessee, as the leader of the tariff
reform forces, and Representative Ding-
ley, of Maine, as the defender of the
McKinle^ law. Despite the well known
fac that a discussion of the tariff is
mainly & matter of comparison of sta
tistics and figures, that it is in its es
sential features but a presentation of
apparently irrefutable, yet totally ir
reconcilable views, the galL ries were
well crowded long before the hour of
the openmg, and tbe public interest
manifested in the debate was greater
than on any previous day of the session.
To R< p-esentative Blount, of Geor
gia, a clear-headed parliamentarian of
twentv years of Congressional experi
ence, was awarded the honor by the
Speaker and the Committee on Ways
andMe&nsof presiding over the de
liberations of the Committee of the
Whol», and when he wearied now and
then of his arduous labors, Representa
tive Kilgore, the giant statesman of
Texas, was calied on to assume the gav
el. In the days cf long political wran
gling that are to Mlow in tbe Com
mittee of the Whole, Speaker Crisp
will fled the respite that he has so
much desired Today he occupied a
seat in tbe galleries, and was as interes
ted an auditor as any of the two thousand
visiters who bent eagerly forward to
catch every word of the partisan ora
tions of the day.
The w-ll-crowded newspaper g tiler
ies attested tbe publio int rest tbat is
being felt in the discussion of the issues
now before tbe House, and tbe little
group that gathered in the diplomatic
gallery showed that this interest in the
revenue question and the t ttempt at
modification of the existing tariff laws
is shared by some of tbe nations across
tbe waters. But the crowning indica
tion cf tha importance of the discussion
was in the deep attention whioh tbe
members themselves gwe to the two
speakers who represented the two great
mrties on the question for solution,
luring the opening speech cf Repre
sentative McMillin, Representa
tive Burrows. of Mich
igan, ar d a few cf his leading Republi
can colleagues vac ited their seats and
gathered on the Democratic Bide to be
near the Tennessee gentleman as he ar
raigned their party from a Democratic
standpoint and d f-tided the justice of
the Springer wool bill and the various
measures rep >rted from the Ways and
M* ans Committee to reduce The duties
on imports. When Representative
Ding’ey, of Maine, although not a mem
ber of the Ways and Means Committee,
opened the discussion on behalf of the
Rt public in side, no less was the flstter-
ng attention paid to him and bis argu
ments by his Democratic opponents
Ur. McMil'in, »s might have been
expected, devoted hi« attention to a re
view of tbe McKinley law and its effect
upon commerce, the industries and the
wage-workers of the country, and Mr.
Dinglay naturally sought to defend and
justify that law and insisted that the
highest commercial wisdom justified it3
perpetuity.
Sea&tor Carlisle, under whose leader
ship as Speaker of past Democratic,
Houses the larifl debate in this latter
half of the ceotury was revived, found
the occasion one of such charm that he
left that seat in the upper body to which
he has been called by the Bluegrass
State, and was an attentive listener to
the eloquent arguments of Representa
tive McMillin. No less vigilant was
tbe attention with which ex-
SpoakerReed noted every argument,
not only of his friend, but of bis politi
cal opponeut as well, and now and then
there was a twinkle.in his eye as he
doubtess meditated on and stored
away in his memory a response to be
made to the Democratic arguments
when hi* day should come. Both the
speakers were frequently applauded by
tneir p irty colleagues, and as each man
resumed his seat he was the recipiei t
cf warm e-ngra: illations and a bouquet

CENTRAL SECURITIES
They
Ever
as Good Now as
Were.
The Augusta Chronicle says edi
torially :
There is no good reason why the hol
ders of Central stock cr bonds should
become apprehensive about the value
of their securities and fores them on
the market. They are as good now and
worth as much as they ever were. The
fact that the Central Railroad has been
placed in the hands of a receiver does
not militate agaist the value of the
property. The road is not bankrupt
and is hot likely to become so.
* The lessees have met their obTgitions
by paying the interest on the bondsana
the guaranteed interest on tbe stock.
True, there were-at first some compli
cations and differences growing out of
misunderstandings about some matters
in dispute between some of the directors
of the Central and tbe management of
the Richmond and Danville.
The faot remains, however, that the
Central is in tbe hand* of a receiver,
not bee luse it is bankrupt but because a
minority stockholder apprehends less
from an exchange of securities that may
or may not take place.
The Central to one of the most valua
ble and solvent railroad properties in
the South. It to now in the hands of
Gen.E. P. Alexander as receiver. He
was and to still its president. The
stockholders frequently elected him to
manage its affairs. There is no ques
tion that he will manage it as faithfully
and efficiently as receiver as he did as
president. Therefore, there is no nec
essity for any minority stockholder to
sacrifice his or her stock, ltisasgiod
today as it ever wqp.

ity of Lexington being connected by
rail.with the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern railroad.
It may be some time first, *but the
new company will not be very long, we
predict, in realizing tbe necessity of
competition in freights and will proceed
at once to secure it. This, of course,
will depend upon the amount of stone
they dispose of and have to ship.
Whenever that reaches an amount suf
ficient to make the difference which
competition in rates will secure tbe
company enough to pay interest on the
necessary sum to.build such road above
running expenses, the company will
lose no time in building the road. The
company has the financial backing to
do so at any time.
The advantages of this road to Lex
ington and vicinity will be great. Of
course it will haul all manner of freight
besides granite. It will create compe
tition in freight rates to both of the
main markets of this section—Athens
and Atlanta. We will be twenty miles
mesrer Atlinta by this route, and be in
direct connection with the Northern
and Eastern markets. No line so short
coul l hardly be possible of such great
beneficial results as this. It will be
about fifteen miles long.
Thayer I* Not Satisfied.
Lincoln, Neb., March 9.—The gu
bernatorial farce will be continued.
After resisting for over a week the im
mense pressure brought to baar upon
him General Thayer has affixed his sig
nature to the affidavit and other papers
necessary to reopen the case in the state
supreme court, and tee fight will be re
newed. It is understood that Thayer ia
preparing a statement for the press to
set forth his position before the publio.
Tbe grounds of the action are under
stood to be that the question of Boyd’s
citizenship, and therefore his eligibility
to hold office, has not been definitely
settled, and that it remains for the
state supreme court to construe the
opinion properly.
