The Bill to Provide for the National Defense
Completed.
The house committee on military af
fairs has completed its bill to provide for
the national defense and it will be pre
sented to the house as soon as the report
can be prepared.
It appropriates .$2,500,000 for the pur
chase of rough finished forgings for steel
rifled, high power guns for the coast de
fense. of eight, ten and twelve-inch cali
bre; $680,000 for the erection and equip
ment of a factory for finishing the afore
said heavy guns; $500,00V for the con
struction of twelve-inch rifled mortars;
$600,000 for torpedo boats, torpedoes
and submarine mines; $250,000 for gun i
carriages; $250,000 for breech-loading
steel field guns and their equipment. An
advisory board to have supervision over
the disbursement of those amounts, is 1
created, of which the lieutenant general
of the army is ex-officio president. This ,
bill was prepared by Chairman Bragg, '
and is acceptable to all m unbers of the
committee, although from the discussion ;
which followed its presentation, it ap- I
peared that several members favored '
more liberal appropriation than is carried 1
by the bill. The speaker will be con- j
suited by members of the committee as
to the best methods of getting ihe bill |
before the house, but it is believed that a
chance to secure action can be found only I
in the last six suspension days, when ‘
two-thirds vote will be necessary.
Arran all, the railroads do not care
half to much about the long haul and
the short haul they do about making
a big haul.

TREMENDOUS STORMS.
A ind Stores of Great Magnitude Liv<-
Lost.
A tremendous thunder storm passed <
ovei the north and west on Friday morn
ing doing much damage to persons ami
I property. Trains were Lifted from the
tracks and dashed to pieces. A Denver.
Col., special says: ‘“ln this city many
i buildings were uproofed, smoke stacks.
| chimney s, and ten graph and telephone
; poles leveled with the ground, and plate
I glass windows broken. The damage w ill
reach several thousand dollars Outside
of Denver, the casualties reported r.re
| considerably greater than in the city. On
. the Denver and Rio Grande railway, four
I miles north of Colorado Springs, every
‘ coach of the north bound Salt Lake city
I express, consisting of tv. o sleeping cius,
■ two passenger coaches and a b‘g
gage and wail car, was blown from
• the track, and the mail car and its con
tents were burned. Had the accident
, happened when the train was on a high
embankment, a short distance further,
the loss of life would have been great.
Fortunately, however, the ground was
perfectly level and no one was injured
A passenger train of three coaches, >n
I the Denver and South Park road was
| lifted from the track by a terrific blast
and hurled down an embankment. One
passenger had his leg broken and several
others were badly bruised. Near Como,
i on the same road, the Leadville express
was blown over a bridge and nearly all
i of the passengers and train men were
severely injured and the coaches were
badly wrecked. All the incoming trains
on various roads were from Live to ten
hours late on account of the storm.”
At. Rochester New York the wind blew
down Court street bridge and a young
man and young lady went down with lh<
wreck and were lost, Others are misMng
but the exact number of lives lost cannot
yet be ascertained.
Trains on most all lines North West
and South of Minneapolis were aban
doned.
A BOSTON RIOT.
Street Car Strikers Mcbbina the Police of
the aioderu Athene
i A serious riot occurred in East Cam
bridge Sunday afternoon as a result of
the recent street car tie up. Shortly
after noon a large crowd of strikers and
their sympathizers gathered on Main
street, Cambridgedort, and as various
cars of the Cambridge line pas.-cd con
ductors and drivers were hooted as
“scabs.” At 1:30 p. m. there was a
great mob at the junction of the Webster
street line with that on Main street, and
as a car turned into Webster avenue the
mob began hurling bricks and tones at
the car and its occupants. By the time
the car got through the crowd it was a
complete wreck. Each succeeding car
was similarly treated until no less than
live cars had been badly damaged. Then
tho police were telephoned for, and with
in twenty minutes a large force of officers
arrived on the scene. The mob had by
this time been worked up to a high de
gree of excitement, and when the officers
attempted to disperse the crowd they
met with determined resistance. Bricks
and stones were thrown at tho police and
many of the officers were wounded.
They then charged the mob with drawn
revolvers, and it instantly scattmedin all
directions About a dozen of the strikers
were arrested and conveyed to the police
station. A little later the mob assem
bled again further down the avenue and
wrecked another car. The police, rein
forced by a mounted squad, now charged
the crowd on “double” quick, and the
mob dispersed alongside the streets after
discharging a volley of bricks at the po
lice. These missiles took effect in a dozen
cases, and as many officers were more or
less seriously injured. Another lot of
prisoners was taken and the station house
was filled with those arrested. None of
those injured are thought to lie fatally
hurt. There was no further trouble after
the last dispersion of the mob on Webster
avenue.
AN INTERESTING SUIT.
A <Jeorg>n Lady Suing for 5i1,000,000 ol
Confederate Bonds.
Mrs. Elizabeth Belt, of Georgia, sued
attorney Nelson G. Green in the supreme
court chambers of New York Wednesday
before Judge Andrews for the return of
confederate bonds of $1,000,000 face
value, but. really worth little more than
a nominal price. The bonds were the
proceeds of an investment of SIOO,OOO
worth of Mrs. Belt's property by her
trustee, Ex-Governor Jenkins, during the
war, a- she alleges, without her consent.
, She is bringing suit to recover the amount
from th? executors of her trustee in the
Supreme court of Georgia, and da ms
that the b nds are of great value to her.
Mr. Green contends that he had a lien
i upon them for unpaid services rendered,
and declines to give them up without a
guarantee of payment. The decision was
reserved.
INCENDIARY FIRES.
•sioux City, lowa, In a Ntnto of Grant
I'xciteui i»nt.
Sioux City, la., is in a state of great I
excitement over the alarming number of I
incendiary fires and burglaries which 1
have occurred there within a few nights.
The town is infested by a sot of desper
ate criminals, who have been attracted
by the spirit of lawlessness, shown by a
considerable class of the community.
Tuesday night a business block on Main
street was mysteriously burned. At the
same time a dozen residences on the
‘“hill," were burglarized. There were a
dozen euses of housebreaking further
down town Wednesday night.
Late in the evening the town was
alarmed by tin'. The livery stables at
tached to the lowa house were burned to
the ground. The house is kept by Frank
Ivtepscb one of the men interested in the
saloon fight last summer. His place was
enjoined and ordered abated. No special
comment was excited by this tire, but
when a second broke out, a half hour
later, there was much excitement and
speculation. This was a large stable at
tached to the Planters bouse, kept by
Henry Mielki, another man whose place
was abated. Mielki and Klepach both
belong t<> the rebellious German saloon
element. In the second stable, when a
man entered to rescue stock, the halters
of horses were found to be cut. Both tires
were plainly incendiary.
A third and very dangerous fire broke
out suddenly in it large clothing house,
within three doors of the Hubbard house,
in tlie centre of the city at 11 o’clock p.
in. The, entire property was destroyed,
but a spread of the names was prevented.
Remarks are heard on the streets that
this is the work of prohibitionists.
Others say the liquor men have done it
to excite sympathy.
SHOT THE WRONG MAN.
bi Innocent Hitia fuHs n Victim to u Pomac
of Pursuers
A double tragedy occurred in Pike
county, Arkanus, Saturday. Alfred Mc-
Clinton, a desperado, waylaid Allen Wil
liams and nibbed him of SSO, then
stabbed him and rode away; A posse,
under the command of officer Henry
Wood was organized and started in pur
suit of McClinton. It was decided to
surprise the desperado, and the posse
secreted themselves in the woods along
the roadside, where Met Hinton was ex
pected to pass on his way home Soon
after twilight two men rode down the
road one of whom was Jami s Savage,
cousin of Officer Woods, and the oilier
was G. W. Trout, a well-known citizen.
Both carried shot. guns.
Wood, mistaking Savage for McClin
ton, told him to “halt.” Savage paused.
Wood then ordered biin to throw up his
hands. Savage wheeled his horse and
raised his gun, when Wood fired. The
ball entered the breast of Savage, who
fell from his horse and died shortly.
When Officer Wood discovered his mis
take lie was overwhelmed with grief, and
would have killed himself had not a
friend interposed.
A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.
Che Town of Adairsville in a Fever of Ex
citement.
A special to the Atlanta Constitution
from Adairsville, Ky., says: This place
was thrown into a fever of excitement by
the killing of Fayette Thoughber by Bob
Gorham. Thoughber, who was a very
nice, quiet gentlemen when sober, was a
perfect desperado when under the influ
ence of liquor. He was in town on Sat
urday and was drinking, and it is said
that, he threatened to kill Gorham before
he left town. The two met in the
square, Gorham with a shotgun and
Thoughber with a pistol. Who tired first
is not positively known, but Gorham
fired one shot and Thoughber five, the
shot of Gorham taking effect in the hand
and breast of Thoughber, one shot pass
ing through the heart. He staggered and
fell against the bank of Adairville and
died in four minutes. He was taken to
the office of the Blanchage house and
dressed, and was carried to his home in
Robertson county, Tennessee. No in
quest was held.
