TUB MAINE DISASTER.
Tbe greatest naval disaster ever
sustained by tbe United 8tates in
time of peace woe the destruction of
the battleship Maine in Havana har
bor at 0:45 p m Tuesday.
There were 340 officers and men
on the ship at the time of the explo-
sion. Of these, 353 were killed and
wounded, over 200 being killed out
right. Nearly all of tbe men were
Mleep, which acoonnts for the terri
ble fatality.
Accounts from all sources differ at
to tbe cause of tbe disaster. It is
thought by some to have been the
accidental explosion of ammunition
on board the vessel, while others con-
tend that this was almost no impos
sibility, and think that either a tor
pedo was sent against the vessel, or
that an explorive was smuggled on
board, either in the coal, or by one of
the numerous visitors to tbesbipdur-
in^ tbe day. The torpedo theory
was strengthened yesterday by divers
finding an 8-icch hole in tbe armor
plate of tbe vessel, below the water
line. Only a thorough investigation
can fix the csiise, and until this is
had, and it will be done at once, all
is speculation.
That the inoideut will precipitate
war is hardly probable. If it is prov
en that the explosion was tbe work
of a torpedo, it will be bard to fix the
responsibility on the Spanish author
ities, and a simple disclaimer on . neir
part would settle it

A few weeks since, the Gazette ex
pressed tho hope that a speedy corn
promise of tho differences between
tho railroads and lumbermen might
be reached. Along this line we re
produce the following from n reliable
source:
“Tho 6ght between the lumbermen
and the railroads, caused by certain
rules the roads had for loading cars,
is ended, and the rbads agree to
endeavor to conform to the lum
bermen’s ideas. Some time since the
lumbermen held a meeting at Cordele
and determined to fight the matter
out, because complying with the rail
road rules would cost them from $3
to $10 more in loading cars, than ac
cording to their own notions. They
did not consider the method of the
railroads practicable. The meeting
was harmonious and the decision was
to modify tho rides at once.”
Nashville municipal, election came
off last Saturday. The total vote
polled was twenty-six, and the fol
lowing is the result: For mayor, J.
