Considerable dam ago was done to property for a mile around. " ? Two laborers who were aboard the boat are missing. The Laurine was the property of the Rocheport Ferry and Packet Company and was about ready to leave her dock with a cargo of ex plosives for use in building a railroad below town, when the accident occur red. The boat was propelled by a gaso line engine. When a match was applied to the generator, the gaso line took fire. Captain Farris and the crew immediately vacated and warned all persons nearby. The fire spread rapidly to the supply tanks of gasoline and a second explosion occurred. This evidently set off the explosives on board, and with a report that was heard miles away the boat was blown to atoms. The ferryboat Joseph L. Stephens, lying five lihu dred yards above, was considerably damaged, the. woodwork of the upper deck and pilot house being torn away. Those aboard the ferry boat escaped. Three residences, about 600 yards from the disaster, were wrecked.

The Confederate Reunion Will be Held Next Year at Dal- - -las, Texas. J. B. GORDON COMMANDER. AH Officers Unanimously Re-elected Re ports of Committees Resolutions Adoted Memorial to Women , of the Sontb. By Telegraph to the Morning star Memphis, Tknn., May 29. A cloud less sky and cool western breeze were in evidence on the second day's ses sionof the United Confederate Vet erans. The exercises in Confederate Hall were opened at 10:20 A. M. by the singing of the doxology and the offering of a prayer, The report of the Committee on Cre dentials was called for and read by the chairman of the committee, J. G. Guise, of Alabama. The total repre sentation of 1,359 camps was re -ported, with an aggregate attendance of 2,3(79 delegates. Texas had the largest representation, with 129 camps and 451 delegates. The report was adopted. The resolutions prepared by various delegates were passed up to the com mander wh6 read them aloud before returning them to the Committee on Resolutions. Among them was a mo tion that Congress be memorialized to erect in the capitol of the nation, a monument to General Robert K. Lee. No action was taken, but there were a number of cries of "No," "No." The report of the Committee on Confederate Memorial was read by Chairman C. A. Evans of Georgia. The report showed a total cash in hand of $81,296; there are $81,307 in good and collectible subscriptions; there is an additional $60,000 still due from Charles Broadway Rouss of New York; other items bring the total re Bourcesjof the organization atjpresentto $228,174. Appended to the report was a resolution that the members of the memorial committee be ordered to meet within ninety days in Richmond Va., to make final arrangement for the laying of the corner stone of the Battle Abbey Adopted, There was a short delay, waiting for the report of the Committee on Reso lutions, which was entirely ready. A partial report was presented, however. The first resolution was that the Con gress of the United States be respect fully requested to make sufficient appropriation for the . care of Confed erate dead in the cemeteries of the North. The second resolution moved that thanks be extended to Congress and the President of the United States for the passage of an act making an appro priation for the re interment of the Confederate dead interred in the Na tional cemetery at Washington. These resolutions were passed without de bate. As his gavel fell announcing the adoption of the resolution, General Gordon said: "My comrades, at last I congratulate you that the day has finally come when foes as well as friends are ready to pay tribute to the valor of the men of the South." General A. P. Stewart offered a resolution asking that members of the United Confederate Veterans each to give one dollar for erecting a suitable women of the South the heroism shown the : purpose of memorial to the to commemorate by them during the war. The motion met with gener al approval and one delegate who an nounced himself as "Jim Crow" from Louisiana, handed up the first dollar. The report of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Association was then read by Mrs N. B. Randolph, of Richmond, Va The financial report of the asso ciation showed a total of cash in hand of $32,672 with outstanding subscript lions of $10,727. Mrs. Randolph made an urgent appeal for more money. At tne conclusion of tne reading of the Memorial Association report, Gen eral Gordon announced that at last the hour had come for the holding of the sacred services in memory of that well loved daughter of the South- Winnie Davis. Rev. Dr. Perry delivered an elo quent invocation. After tne adoption oi reports came the election of officers The name of Gen. John B. Gordon was placed before the convention and instantly somebody shouted "Let's make his re-election unanimous." With a mighty burst of voices "Aye" thundered through the hall. With tne same thunderous unani mity the re elections followed of Lieut. Gen. W. L. Cable, of the trans-Mississippi department; Lieut. Gen 8. D. Lee, of the Army of Ten nessee, and Lieut. Gen. Wade Hamp ton, of the Army of Northern Vir ginia. A resolution from the committee on resolutions was presented to the con vention and adopted, "that neither the commanding officer nor the de partment or the division commanders, nor any official of this association, nor 'our host,' shall have the right to invite any one to a Confederate vet erans' re union other than Confed erates, and this right shall rest alone with delegates in convention assembled. Such re-union is to fee held only at points in those States which furnished bodies" of troops to the Confederate army." A resolution was adopted objecting to those who served through the war being addressed as "general," "lieu tenant colonel," or "colonel," when th;ey were known only as "captain" or "major." during the war, and should so be designated now. Several, other .resolutions of minor importance were offered and adopted and then came the contest for the next meeting place. Mrs. Kate Cabel Curry, of Dallas, Texas, daughter -of Gen. Cabel, extended a hearty invitation to the convention from Dallas, she bore a message from Governor Sayres, urg ing that the convention select Dallas as its next meeting place. Mrs. uurry was followed by Gen. Bennett H. Young, of Louisville, who extended an invitation from that city. After an hour of tumult the vote was finally counted, resulting: Dallas, 1,263; Louisville, 1,046. Gen. Young then moved that the vote for Dallas be made unanimous, which was done.

THE ASSAULT AND MURDER. Victim a Weil Known and Respectable White Woman One of the boldest and Most Cold Blooded Crimes Ever Committed In Florida. By Telegraph to the Morning star. Bartow, Fla., May 29. Fred Rochelle, a black negro, 35 years of age, who at noon yesterday crimi nally assaulted and then murdered Mrs. Rena Taggart, a well, known and respectable white woman of this city, was burned at the stake -here early this evening in the presence of a throng of people. The burning was on the scene of the negro's crime, and within a hundred yards of the princi pal thoroughfare of this city. The assault and murder was one of the boldest and coldest blooded crimes ever Icommitted in Florida. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Tag gart, who was born and reared in this place and was a woman of good family and reputation, went, fishing alone in a small row boat that she kept at the city bridge over Piaco creek. This is in full view of the public thoroughfare. A few minutes before noon Mrs. Taggart, desiring to return home, rowed her boat to the bridge and made it fast. -A negro man was fishing from the bridge at the time. Mrs. Taggart started home and had proceeded only a few steps in the swamp towards the open prairie and thence to the street when she was approached by Rochelle, who was hiding in the swamp. He seized her and she broke loose and screaming ran from the swamp into the prairie, where he overtook her, overpowered and assaulted her. After the assault, wnne she was prostrate, he held her with his hands and knees and taking his knife from his pocket, cut her throat from ear to ear, causing instant death. He then, walked to the negro who had been fishing on the bridge and who was thoroughly frightened and asked him what he should do with the body. He was told to leave it where it was, but unheeding this request, he took the bleeding form in his arms and carried it back to the swamp, threw it down and escaped into the interior of the swamp. In a few minutes the crime had been reported and in less than an hour practically the entire city was in arms and a well armed posse was moving in every direction in search of the criminal. Blood hounds were secured ana an mgnt a rrumess search was continued. This morning no trace of the negro had been secured and the people were becoming more desperate in their determination to apprehend him, as the chances for his final escape seemed to grow. About noon a cour ier arrived announcing that the negro had been captured by two other ne groes, three miles south of the city. Posses were immediately on the trail but the captors evaded detection and succeeded in getting their prisoner quickly into the city and in turning him over to the sheriff of Polk county. In less than ten minues after the transfer had been made, as if the news had been Hashed voluntarily through out the city and neighborhood, the streets became congested with the peo ple, and the crowd augmented as it marched on the jail. ' In spite of the sheriff and a strong guard of extra deputies who made every effort to protect him from mob violence, tbey secured the prisoner and took up the line of march to the scene of the crime. The stake was the only suggestion as to the proper expiation of the crime, and without organized effort and yet with apparently unanimous under standing, a barrel was in readiness and was placed by the stake on the very spot where Mrs. Taggart was as saulted and murdered. - On this the negro was placed and chained to the stake. Louder and louder and more desperate grew his pleadings to God and man for mercy, but in the great crowd around him silence was the only response. There were no jeers, no swearing, no dis order. Before the chains around the negro had been made fast, cans of kerosene oil from many sources were passed to the front and one of the leaders stepped to the body and slowly but deliberately poured it upon him. and his clothes and the barrel were well saturated. It was then 6 o'clock. The crowd was growing, business in the city had practically been sus pended,and all eyes were turned toward the scene. In an instant the match was applied. As if by explosion the blaze quickly leaped skyward in volume. The burning body could be seen only as a dark object in the circle of a maddened roaring flame. Then the fire lessened and the writhing body came back to full view, but already the groans had ceased and the only evidence of life was in the contortions of the muscles of the limbs. For fif teen minutes the body burned and in half an hour from the minute of the application of the match -only the charred bones left as a reminder of the neero's horrible crime and his fate. The crowd dispersed as orderly as it had gathered, and at 8:30 o'clock to night the city is quiet. OIL. GUSHERS. One In Louisiana Forty Miles From New Orleans. By Telegraph to the Horning Btar.

Washington Star. A GLIMPSE OF TURNER. Introducing an Incident That Sug gested One of Ilia Great Pictures. It was a friend of Ituskin's mother, Mrs. John Simon, who told the story. She was traveling by night in the early days of the Great Western railway from Plymouth to London: When I had taken off my cloak , and smoothed my plumes and generally set tled myself, I looked up to see the most wonderful eyes I ever saw steadily, lumi nously, clairvoyantly, kindly, paternally looking at me. The hat was over the forehead, the mouth, and chin buried in the brown velvet coat collar of the brown greatcoat. Well, we went on, and the storm went on more and more, until we reached Bristol, to wait ten minutes. My old gentleman rubbed the side win dow with his coat cuff in vain, attacked the center window, again in vain, so blur red and blotted was it with the torrents of rain. A moment's hesitation and then: 'Young lady, would you mind my put ting down this window?' " 'Oh, no, not at all.' " 'You may be drenched, you know.' " 'Never mind, sir.' , "Immediately down goes the window, out go the old gentleman s head and shoulders, and there they stay for 1 sup pose nearly nine minutes: then he drew them in, and I said: " 'Oh, please let me look.' " 'Now, yon will be drenched.' But he half opened the window for me to see. Such a sight, such a chaos of elemental and artificial lights and noises, I never saw or heard or expect to see or hear. He drew up the window as we moved on and then leaned back with closed eyes for I dare say ten minutes, then opened thenf and said: "'Well?' "I said, I've been "drenched," but it's worth it.' 'He nodded and smiled and again took to his steady but quite inoffensive perus ing of my face." The whole letter is too long for quota tion, but this is the sequel: 'The next year, I think, going to the academy, I turned at once, as I always did, to see what Turners there were. 'Imagine my feelings 'Rain, ; Steam -and Speed. Great- Western Railway, June the , 1843.' "I had found out who the 'seeing' eyes belonged to. As I stood looking at the picture I heard a mawkish voice behind me say: " There, now, just look at that. Ain't it just like Turner? Who ever saw such a ridiculous conglomeration?' "I turned very quietly round and said: " 'I did. I was in the train that night, and it is perfectly and wonderfully true, and walked quietly away. From Last Chapter of Ruskin's "Praeterita." Uncountable Moves In Chens. Some one with a head for figures has' recently attempted to calculate the num ber of mores on the chessboard. He starts with the fact that each player has 20 possible mores from which he must select his first move. He then tells us that the number of possible ways of playing the first four- moves only, on each side would be 318,879,564,000. If then, any one were to play with out cessation at the rate of one set a minute, it would take him more than (300,000 years to go through them all. The number of ways of playing the first ten moves on each side is 160,518,829,- 100,544,000,000,000,000,000. these fig ures are probably in defect, rather than In excess, of the actual number. On their casis, oowever, ana considering we popu lation of the whole world to be 1,483,000, 000, more than 217,000,000,000 would be needed to go through them all, even if every man, woman and child on the face of the globe flayed without cessation for that enormous period at the rate of one set per minute ana no set was re peated.

An Anecdote Which Illustrates Why lie Was So Popular. "I knew the late Marcus Daly fairly well," said a western man, "and I can bear testimony to the blunt kindliness that made him so wonderfully popular among the rough miners of northern Montana. He was a merciless bargain driver and seemed to take a sportsman like pleasure in the pursuit of money; but, once secured, he would give it away as prodigally as a prince. I recall a lit tle incident that illustrates both phases of his character. "In 1889, or thereabout, a very decent sort of fellow who was running a grocery store in Butte City got in hard lines financially through no fault of his own and found it would be necessary to raise about $3,000 to tide him over the crisis. He asked a bank in which Mr. Daly was a- director to discount his note for that amount and offered mining stock as col lateral. The application was considered by the officials and favorably passed up on, when Daly happened in and prompt ly turned it down. He declared the chances were decidedly against the note being paid and that the ,stock was cer tain to depreciate before the paper ma tured. "The story of his interference was re lated to the grocer by a friend on the board of directors, and naturally he was deeply imbittered. He declared that Da ly had gone out of his way to ruin him and cursed him high and low as a heart less old rascal. "A few days later Daly himself drop ped in at the store. 'I hear you're hard up, my boy,' said he. 'What's the situa tion, in a few words?' The grocer told him, rather sullenly, about how he stood. 'That's all right,' said Daly. 'I had to throw out your note the other day, be cause I make it a rule not to let the bank take risky paper, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll give you my personal check for the amount and put your note in my safe. If you can't take it up when it falls due you can make out another one.' The grocer was so surprised he could hardly express his thanks, and incidentally he mentioned the collateral. 'Oh, hang the collateral!' said Daly. 'I ain't doing this as a business proposition. I just don't want to see a good, hardworking fellow like you 'go under.' , "As he predicted the stock went to zero, but the grocer pulled through after twice renewing his note. Daly did lots of things of that kind. They account for the hold he had on the people." Exchange. AUTOCRAT OF THE PAPER. Tne Composing Room Foreman When the Edition Is Going to l'ro. If the newspaper office were surround ed by an invading army or fiercely bom- "barded, the autocrat of the composing room would insist on the locking up of the forms and the stereotyping of the pages as usual. There is no limit to his devotion to duty. One nitrht. for in stance, in a provincial newspaper office, the composing room was suddenly en veloped in smoke, and there was the cry of "Fire!" "Fire or no fire we must get to press," snarled the overseer, giving out a late telegram to the compositor out of copy at the desk side. The type was brought, galley after galley, pushed upon the imposing stones, arranged in pages and screwed into the forms ready for transit to the foundry. Meantime evidence was abundant that the adjacent building was in flames. The smoke became denser. Outside the office there was the shout of people, the clatter of horses' feet, the rattle of fire engines; inside the heavy tread of firemen on the stairs, the bursting open of the compos ing room door and the hurried entrance of two members of the fire brigade drag ging a hose pipe. The overseer, glaring at the intruders, sprang from his seat bubbling with in dignation and shouted: "Here, you fel lows! What the mischief are you do ing?" "We are taking the hose through to play on the burning building," jerked out one of the firemen, astounded at the over seer's belligerent attitude. "Then go and play somewhere else!" hoarsely exclaimed the overseer, trying to shoulder them out of the room. "But the place is on fire!" exclaimed the men in. amazement. "I don't care if the whole city's on fire we must get to press!" roared the overseer. And he did, though the first edition had a narrow squeak of publica tion, -for the office windows blurred and cracked with heat, and the composing room was deluged with water. Good Words.
