I PRESIDENT UN COLLISION.
Boat Bearing President Rousevell Col
lides Witt? fruit Steamer Below
■ Mew Orleans.
- j New Orleans, Oct. 27. — A long
s.1 distance message from Nairn,
I La., sixty miles down the river,
announces that the lighthouse
^tender Magnolia with President
Roosevelt on board went in col
lision with the fruit steamer Es
, . parata shortly after midnight.
The news came through a mes
sage from Captain W. M. Rose,
of the Esparata. Captain Rose
reported both vessels aground at
the river bank. No one was ser- j
iously hurt. The president is!
safe.
Captain Rose said the Espar* i
ata would probably have to carry
the president’s party to West
Virginia. Two tugs left' New
1 Orleans this morning for the
v scene of the accident. Probably j
nnii fvf fHoao will tVia Ptab. I
ident to West Virginia.
Details of the accident are not i
complete, but immediately after
it occurred hurry orders were re- j
ceived at Pilottown, where the j
revenue cutter Ivy was lying, to
proceed at once to the scene and
take the President and party to i
sea. The Ivy passed Pilottown '
with the President on board at
8:15 on her way to West Virginia.
She was then within an hour and
I a half of reaching the cruiser’s
side. ____ _

DYNAMITED FERRY BOAT.
One of Two Competitive ferry Boats al
Sylamore, Put Out of Business
By Explosive.
The ferryboat of J. W. Wil
liamson, at Sylamore, was blown
up with dynamite by unknown
persons last Wednesday night;
and completely demolished. The
boat was taken some distance
below the landing before the ex
plosive was applied.
There are two rival ferry com
panies at Sylamore and the bus
iness has become quite profita
ble since the building of the rail
road, as the ferry is a gateway
way to Mountain View. William
son owned the original ferry, but
later one was put in near the
Williamson ferry by Harvey
Thomas and Bill Turner. Wil
liamson applied for and secured
a license from Izard county, but
was refused one in Stone, while
Thomas & Turner secured a li
cense hi oiene, uai were reiuseu
a Jicen.^ _ in Izard. A license
was necessary In both counties,
the river being the dividing line.
Williamson brought suit in the
chancery court of Izard county
against his competitors, and se
cured an injunction against them
landing on the Izard side, within
a certain distance of his ferry,
and a like suit has been brought
in Stone county by Thomas &
rurner against Williamson, which
is now pending.
The dynamiting of William
son’s ferryboat was subsequent
to the issuing of the injunction
against Thomas & Turner but
there is no evidence of any con
nection between the litigation
and the outrage.
Woman’s Club.
With an ideal October after
noon and an unusually fine pro
gram, as arranged in their hand
somely gotten up year book, the

afternoon was largely attended

M. Johnson and was delightful

Word was received in this city
yesterday afternoon from the
I heads of departments at St.

trains would be replaced in the
very near future. Fassenger
train No. 3 will be reinstated
next Sunday, while No. 8 will
