TIFTTON,
SIXTEEN PASSENGERS ON THE
LEONA LOSE THEIR LIVES.
WERE PENNED UP BELOW DECKS.
Til© Fir© Was Siilulueit In Tim© to Sax©
Other*-—City of Augusta to
the Kesviio.
The Mallory line steamer Leona,
which left her pier at New York on
Saturday, bound for Galveston, took
tire at sea, put back and arrived in
port Sunday night with sixteen corpses
on board.
The dead were thirteen steerage
passengers and three members of the
crew, who succumbed to a terrible lire
which occurred off the Delaw are coast
Sunday morning.
Details of the horrible story are
meagre.
Those who are dead were penned up
below decks, and althoitgli frantic ef¬
forts were made by the officers of the
vessel to save them the lire bad gained
such terrible headway before the dan¬
ger was discovered that all escape was
cut off.
The steamer carried in her cargo
many bales of cotton. It ,is not cer¬
tain how the fire originated, but when
it was discovered, it burst forth with
such fury that it was impossible to
reach the steerage. Even the steer¬
age passengers apparently were un¬
mindful of the danger, else the smoke
and flames had not reached them. The
saloon passengers were first aroused,
and in such a manner as to occasion
little alarm.
When it became apparent that the
fire had cut off the steerage passengers
the captain and his men poured great
quantities of water down tho ventila¬
tor and heroic attempts were made for
the escape of those penned up.
In this way eight of the steerage
passengers made their escape.
The dead steerage passengers are:
Bridget Sullivan, R. Caliane, Miss
Guzza, Mrs. G. C. Guzza, Miss Han¬
nah Solomonson, Mrs. Valiricks, Miss
Valiricks, Sophie Schwartz, Marie
Wade, two unknown children, and
two unidentified.
Of the crew: Alfred Hardy, waiter,
forty-one years old, New York; Alfred
Lang, waiter, nineteen years old, New
York; H. Hartmann, butcher, twenty-
seven years old, New York.
Captain Wilder was in command,
with First Mate Wallace and Second
Mate Sweeny assisting. The chief en¬
gineer was below with three assistants
and a crew of about seventy-five men,
including firemen and deck hands.
After a hard fight the flames were
finally subdued.
The surviving passengers were trans¬
ferred to the steamer City of Augusta,
of the Savannah line, which came
upon the scene in answer to signals of
distress.
ROBINSON STEPS DOWN.
Agricultural Department Ila* a New Sta¬
tistician from Nevada.
Henry A. Robinson, of Michigan, of
the agricultural department, tendered
his resignation to Assistant Secretary
Wilson Saturday.
Mr. Robinson is a free silver man,
and says he deemed it only right that
the administration should have the
office at its disposal. The office pays
$3,000 per year, and is protected by
the civil service law.
John Hyde, of Nebraska, now ed¬
itor of the year book of the agricul¬
tural department, has been appointed
to succeed Mr. Robinson.
DISASTROUS RESULT OF FIRE.
Horses Bun Into a Railroad Trestle and
Wreck a Freight Train.
At Manning, S. C., Friday night,
fire destroyed Bradham’s ginnery, the
county dispensary with its entire stock,
Shradham & Thomas’ big stables and
two big warehouses, one full of ve¬
hicles.
Two horses from the stable ran
down the railroad and, becoming fas¬
tened in a trestle, wrecked the night
freight, pitching the engine in Black
river and wrecking three box cars. No
lives were lost.
Want Six Millions Indemnity.
A dispatch to The Morning Post
(London) from Constantinople says it
is possible that Turkey will demand a
war indemnity of over XG,000,000.
CAPT. STRONG ASSASSINATED.
Wa* Known a* a Famous Fighter In
Kentucky.
Captain William Strong, aged 72
years, was shot and instantly killed
near his home in Breathitt county, Ky.,
Sunday morning by unknown persons.
He had left home to go to a neigh¬
bor’s and when not more than a mile
away was fired upon from ambush,
seven bullets entering his body.
A large number of his friends are
searching the mountains for the assas¬
sins, and if caught they will be sum¬
marily dealt with.
Captain Strong was one of the most
famous fighters in eastern Kentucky.
He was a captain of the federal army,
serving four years under Woolford.
ULUETALLU COMMISSION SAILS.
They Go To Confer With Head. or Karo-
t>»*an <iovernmentH.
Ex-Vice President. Adlui Stevenson,
General .T. C. Paine anil United Ststes
Senator Edward O. Wolcott, who were
recently appointed by President Mc¬
Kinley as a commission to confer with
the heads of European governments
relative to the holding of an interna¬
tional bimetallic conference, sailed
from New York Saturday for Havre on
the French liuer La Tonraine.
Before their departure Mr. Steven¬
son said that the commission would go
direct to Paris and, after conferring
with the French government, would
visit. London, Berlin, Vienna and the
capitals of other European govern¬
ments.
He expected that much good would
he accomplished by the commission
and did not anticipate any trouble
in inducing the governments to ap¬
point delegates to tho contemplated
conference.
HILL A HANBON CRETE.
It. port That Greek* Will Gradually With¬
draw From the Inland.
Advices of Sunday from Athens,
says: “The government has informed
the ministers of the powers verbally
that following the recall from Crete of
Colonel Yassos, twenty-five officers
and two companies of sappers, the
gradual withdrawal of troops from the
island of Crete will take place.
After a brief delay the powers will
offer to mediate between Greece anil
Turkey. The powers will insist, how¬
ever, that Greece shall confide her in¬
terests unreservedly to their hands.”
The correspondent of the Associated
Press at Athens learns on the best au¬
thority that Greece has made a written
application to the powers, through
their representatives at Athens, for
mediation.
All the representatives have prom¬
ised in their replies to use their best,
offices, except tho German minister,
who has merely acknowledged the re¬
ceipt of the note from the cabinet.
The porte is inclined to support the
powers, with a view to the facilitation
of negotiations, hut it declines to con¬
sent to an armistice, on the ground
that this would enable Greece to reor¬
ganize her forces.

T1IE SABBATH SCHOOL
INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR MAY 16.
ti’iwon Ti-xt: ‘‘Caul Preaching to flic
G«nllIefi, M A ctf* xiv., 11-22 — Oohleii
Text: “I Have Not Thee to he a Idfflitof
the Gentiles,” Acts xlll., 47—Comment*.
The power of God was so manifest In Ills
word through the apostles at Antioeh that
the next Sabbath almost the whole elty
cume together to hear the word of floil
(xiib, 44). This filled the Jews with such
envy that they contradicted anil blas¬
phemed and raised suoh persecution against
Paul and Marimbas that they were expelled
from the elty; not, Idled however, with joy before and many with
believed and were
the Holy Ghost, and were encouraged to
continue in the grace of God. From
Antioeh they went to Ieonlum, and so spake
that n multitude both of Jews and Greeks
believed. But they were there compelled and by
persecution to line from Derbo also, preached so
came to l.ystra and and
the gospel. During the preaching a man
who was tame from his birth and had never
walked was perfectly healed by the Lord
through Paul, and here our lesson begins.
11. “Tho gods are come down to us in the
likeness of men.” These were the words of
the people when t hey saw the man that had
been lame leaping and walking. They saw
a supernatural event in the healing of this
Impotent man, and knowing only of the
mythical gods, such as Jupiter and Mer¬
curies, of which Jupiter and Romans was the and supreme Mer¬
god of the Greeks
cury tho god of eloquence, they visited supposed
that their gods hail actually them.
Let us alter their words just, a little, “God
lias come down to us in the likeness of
man,” and what u glorious truth we have,
and one fully proved by John i., 14; I Tim.
ill., 16: Heh. il., 14.
12. “And they called Barnabas Jupiter
mid Paul Mercuries because ho was tho
chief speaker.” Ganon Faussot says that
the mythology of Ovid represented Phrygia Mer¬ with
curies as having once visited
Jupiter, hiH father, and having boon refused
hospitality by all hut two old peasants.
Hence the simple people the of Lystra cripple, sup¬ that
posed, from the miracle ou
Paul ami Barnabas were these two gods
again come to earth.
13. It was tlio supernatural apostles which power caused man¬
ifested through the
these people to attempt to worship them.
We may not perhaps have the working of
miracles of healing soon In us, fortho Hplrlt
divides His gifts to every one severally as
He will (I Dor. xib, 11), hut we may all he
filled with the Spirit and manifest in us the
supernatural life of meekness and quiet¬
ness, of patience and long suffering, with
joyfulness, to the glory of God.
14. “They rent their clothes and ran in
among the people, crying out.” While wo
should earnestly desire the manifestation
of Christ in us, we should also tremble lest
we get any credit for it. The Lord alone
must he exalted and no flesh glory in His
presence. Most of us are too prone to en¬
joy a little honor and llattery, hut It must,
not be tolerated. “See thou do ft not; wor¬
ship God,” must be our word.
15. “Turn from these vanities unto the
living God.” Assuring the people that they
were but men of like passions with them¬
selves, men sm-h as themselves but for the
grace of floil, t hey tolil them of the one true
and living God, the Creator of all things.
I have been . greatly Interested In notlelng
how often the llrst. verse in all Scripture is
used by prophets and apostles—us for ex¬
ample, In Dent, x., 14; Nell. lx., 6; Isa. xliv.,
24; Jer. x., 10-12; xxxli., 17; Aets lv., 24, etc.,
and the connections In which they use it,
and I believe wo do not sufficiently con¬
sider it.
16. "Who In times past suffered all Na¬
tions to walk in their own ways.” would While have
He draws US unto Himself and
us “set apart for Himself,” “kept for Jesus
Christ,” “a special people unto Him,” yet
If we insist on our own ways He will suffer
iih, While to He our is eternal not willing loss in that many any respects. should
perish, but that all should repent and bn
saved, yet If people insist upon rejecting
Ills love He will let them (I’s. Ixxx., 11-14;
II Pet. ill., 9; 11 Cor. (I., 15, 16).
17. “Nevertheless He left not Himself
without witness.” His eternal power and
Godhead are seen in the works of His hands
and in His great goodness to all, so that all
are without excuse (Item. 1., 20, 21). Paul
would direct their minds to the goodness all, for ol
God manifest in His dally mercies to
all may truly say: “It Is of tho Lord’s
mercies we are not consumed because His
compassions fail not. They are new every
morning” (Lam. ill., 22, 23).
1H. “And with these sayings scarce had re¬
strained they tlie people, that they not
done sacriUee unto them.” They saw Paul
and Barnabas, but not Jesus Christ. They
saw tiie miracle, hut not God. Only tin*
opened eyes can see God, but lie Is willing
to open the eyes of all who will turn to
Him. Only the unwilling must stay
blind. “Ye will not come unto me!” (John
V., 40.) “And there thither certain
19. came
Jews from Antioeh and Ieonium, who per¬
suaded the people, and having stoned Paul
drew him out of the persevering city, supposing devil goeth he
had been dead.” A
about seeking to destroy. If he cannot get
the soul lie will do his best to kill the body;
but tills we are told not to fear (Math, x.,
28), for the breaking of the body only sets
the spirit free to be with Christ. Paul was
to all intents dead, though in “Whether speaking of in
tills experience lie says twice, tell;
tiie body or out of the body I cannot
God knoweth” (II Cor. xil., dlsolples 2, 3!. stopfli
20. “Howbetf, as the and into
round about him, ho rose up came
tho city, and tho next day he departed
with Barnabas to Herbe.” I do not
doubt that the vision described In II COr.
xib, 14, was his actual experience while
they wore dragging his seemingly lifeless
body out of Lystra, and by this experience
he was fitted for greater and hotter things
for his Lord and Master, concerning whom
he could say, “Whose I am, and whom I
serve” (Acts xxvii., 23). had preached the
21. “And when they had taught
gospel to that city and many,
they returned again to Lystra and to Ieon¬
ium and Antioch.” Tho margin says they
made many disciples. Ho wherever they
went the souls were saved. God glorified
and the devil made angry. What couragu
to go right back to Lystra where ho had
been stoned, and to tho other cities, from
whence they had been driven out. Bu1
they knew that God was with them, anil
they feared nothing. What denial of sell
