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 Stats Dem.

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. II. Gary; Aldermen, T. P. Jordan, P. II. Askew, J. I. Norwood, J. P. Knight.and \V. D. Bnie.—News.
