Tho boiler was blpwn through the
roof of the works 300 feet in midair,
and came sailing down like a spent
rocket, crashing through the roof in an
other department of the works. The
entire roof was precipitated to tho floor
beneath by the force of the explosion
and tho works were practically wrecked.
The explosion was sufficient to rock the
earth with tho force of an earthquake
s, and broke 1
. at a quartei
from the mill.
All the local physicians were called to
the works to act as a hospital corps for
the wounded.
There was the greatest excitement
around tho wrecked building, and the
families of the dead and wounded were
frantic with grief. As«oon as the bodies
of the dead and injured conld be gotten
together Coroner Foust empanelled a
jury. After viewing the wreck the jury
adjourned until evening.
No explanation is offered as to the
cause of tho explosion. Some of tho
employes say* that they were short of
steam before the accident occurred.

AFTER PORTUGAL'S KINU.
The Third IVgnhlp Constructed bv a South
ern Company Since the War—A Distin
guished Farty From Washington :
tendance, Including Members of the
House Naval Affair* Committee.
Newport News, Va.. Jan. SO.—The
third warship constructed by a private
southern shipyard since the war, aud
also tho largest merchant steamer built
in this country, with tho exception of
tho two American transatlantic liners
built by the Cramps, was launched suo
cess fully here by the Newport News
Shipbuilding company at high tide, in
the presence of a distinguished party
from Washington, members of the
house uavol affaiA committee, Admiral
Brown, commanding the Norfolk navy-
yard, and a large concourse of people,
estimated at 5,000, from adjacent towns.
There were present also representa
tives from Admiral Bunco’s great fleet
in Hampton Roads, Senators Carter and
Mentle of Montana and Assistant Sec
retary McAdoo, who represented the
navy department in the absence of Sec
retary Herbert. To add to the spectac
ular effect produced by numbers of
6teamers aud sailing vessels which had
gathered here for the occasion, was the
big ship Indiana, which came up from
Fortress Monroe to load coal, pending
her departure later for Port RoyaL
Both vessels are the finest typo of their
class ever turned out by this yard,
which soon begins the construction of
the mammoth battleships Kentucky and
Kearsarge, authorized by the last con
gress.
In ordor to take advantage of the
floodtide, tho launch of the vef ^ls took
place before 11 o’clock, one following
tho other as fast as the workmen ooula
knock away the shores and wedge up
their keels. The first to take tho water
was the merchant vessel whose name
had been kept a secret nntil she began
to slide down the ways, when Miss
Nellie S. Eldridge of Boston broke the
usual bottle of wine and christened her
the Grand Duchess.
As the stern of the great hull caught
the water the shrill whistles Of the
steamers, foreign ships at the yards and
the hoarse steam siren of tho battleship
Indiana gave greetings, while thousands
of people showed their appreciation by
prolonged cheers for the Newport News
Shipbuilding company and 0. P. Hunfc-
i as its founder!
what route tho new vessel is in
tended has not yet been announced.
Thirty minutes after the Grand Duch
ess entered the water and had been
towed out of the way for the new war
ship, the Helena was ready to take her
natural element, and, with at first a
slight hesitation, dne to lack of sufficient
tallow and with stately precision, she
glided off into the James river as Miss
Agnes Belle Steel, daughter of Mayor
Steel of Helena, Mon., smashed the
champagne bottle and named her in
honor of Montana’s capital city.
The Indiana greeted the new addition
to the. service with deep blasts from her
whistles, and the tugs and other ships
added to the din. At the concluston of
the ceremonies, President Orcutt enter
tained the visitors at a banquet, where
the ships and the company were toasted
by the senators, representatives and
others.
The keels of the two new battleships
will be laid near the spot where the two
ships were launched!
Description of the Helena.
The gunboat Helena is one of two
ships of peculiar design built for the
navy by the Newport News company
her sister ship, the Wilmington, having
been launched last October. The pur
pose was to secure an efficient type of
vessel for the navigation of shallow and
shifting rivers, such as are fonnd in
China, whic h might still possess seago
ing qualities sufficient to ensure sure
passages from the United States to
foreign stations and also to enable them
to be used in carrying the United States
into the many ports of the sonth
Central America which are now in
accessible to our warships owing to
shoal water.
So the Helena when completed with
all stores aboard will draw only nine
feet of water, and may go where any
schooner able to navigate the seas can
enter, and while not a battleship in the
sense of not possessing armor and big
guns, will carry eight 4-inch rifles, guns
S uite largo enough to meet anything
tiort of hrmored craft and heavy forti
fications, and a number of smaller ma
chine guns so mounted as to afford . i

or troops on shore or a boarding party.

FIGURES THAT TALK. JN HONOR OF PUNYON.
Georgia Commiutoner of Agriculture on
Cotton Acreage.
Atlanta, Jan. 30.—Figures are usu
ally dry reading, but in his monthly
talk to farmers, now going out to tho
state press, Commissioner Nesbitt uses
somo, given in tho followirf& excerpt
from his article, that ore of the highest
importance to every cotton grower in
the south. He says:
“The sonth can raise cotton cheaper
than any other country, and therefore
no rival can successfully outer the field
if we manage our great staple crop on
sound business principles. An Ameri
can crop which forces the price below 10
ceuta is certainly too large. We should
plant as near as possiblo to a 7,000,000
bale basis, which trill insure a fair mar
gin of profit. If by an increased acreage
and an increased use of fertilizers and
other expenses we produce 9,000,000 or
10,000,000 bales, every bale trill, accord
ing to all precedent, be sold at a loss of
at least 1, 2 or perhaps 3 cents a pound.
A 7,000,000 bale crop at 10 cents will
bring $350,000,000. A 9,000.000 bide
crop will bring at the highest only 7
cents a pound, or $315,000,000, a loss of
$35,000,000, not counting the additional
cost of producing the larger crop. If it
costs 8 cents a’pound to raise the 7,000,-
000 balo crop, which is about the aver
age cost of production, that represents
$280,000,000. This crop, if sold at 10
ccuts, will net the farmers $70,000,000
over aud above tho cost of production,
with plenty of provisions for another
year—9,000,000 bales at a cost of 8 cents
per pound for production, will represent
$3(50,000,000, and if sold for 7 cents will
only bring $315,000,000, a less of $45,-
000,000 to the producers. Adding the
profit on the lesser crop to the loss on
the greater we have $116,000,000 in
favor of a reduced urea aud a smaller

Action of Congress.
New York, Jan. 30.—President Tom
aso Estrada Palma of the Cuban junta
was at the headquarters of the Cuban
revolutionary party in this city during
the day. .Several other leadors of tho
movement were also on hand and

Palma said that the Cubans
joyed at the news that the committee
on foreign relations had submitted a re
port recommending that President
Cleveland use the good offices of tho
United States to have Spain accord tho
Cuban insurgents the rights of bellig
erents. Already a synopsis of the re
port has been sent to General Gomez
and General Maceo and President Palma
3 >ressed the opinion that it would re-
t in the leaders working with re
newed hope.
It was said that General Garcia, who
was alleged to have been seriously ill at
his home in Harlem, was present at tho
conference, but this was denied by
President Palma, who said that he did
not even know whether General Garcia
was in town or not.

Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 30.—A suit
for $50,000 has boon filed against the
Western railroad by th$ heirs of Miss
Mattie M. Murdock, who was killed by
an engine on that road on Oct. 10. Miss
Murdock lived at Mt. Meigs, and was
enroute to Atlanta to attend the exposi

first, to do some shoppiug, and to go
from here to Atlanta. No. 35 from At
lanta passed through Mt. Meigs at that
time without stopping. Ther order was
that it must not stop.eveu when flagged.

dock and several other ladies were at
the station with the hope that they
might be able to stop the train and
come to Montgomery. It went by them
with a rush, however, and Miss Mur
dock, in her excitement undertook to
cross the track as the train approached
her. She was instantly crushed
