null, both large buildings, are total wrecks,
while the whole colored section is almost
literally (swept from the earth. Two i
church steeples were blown down and 1
two churches unroofed. The high school
building and jail were considerably dam
aged. Altogether there were about seven
ty-five houses completely demolished and
118 more or less damaged. Few buildings
escaped uninjured. The trees and most of

Jt was discovered this side of a stream,
about two miles from town, lying in water

Among the persons missing arc Dr. Lewis,

Galveston, Texas, August 21. — The
schooner Livonia Perkins, of about 40 tons
burthen, engaged in the lumber trade, was
capsized by the force of the gale about 9
o’clock Thursday night, off the bar, in six
fathoms of water. There were four per
sons on board—Capt. John Mitchell, Mari
ano Maragos, a seaman, and Pritchard,
the cook. When the vessel went over
Pritchard seized a small barrel, but was
forced by the action of the waves to let it
go. Swimming with tiie tide, lie crossed
the east end of the island, through what
is known as the hospital channel. When
he reached a point abreast of the new
wharf he hailed the steamer S. T. Maddox,
which was moored there, and succeeded
in making his way to the wharf where lie
was helped ashore. The distance swam by i
Pritchard from the place where the I
schooner was swamped to the point of his j
rescue must be nearly ten miles. All ,
tne oil lei's of the crew of the ill-fated craft 1
perished. This, and the drowning of the'
m gro boy on Thursday, are the only in- j
stances of loss of life so far re- j
port-d. Several sin ail fishing boats ,
and yachts anchored along the wharves
were swamped, hut no serious damage \vn
done to the shipping in port. Much uppre-
liension is felt, 1iowlv*t, for the brig I ’lie j
of the Bay, from >i . .» York, which arrived j
in the outer /(Kids Thursday afternoon, j
She lias disappeared from her anchorage, |

familiar with the coast and its weather. ;
Stood out to sea as the gale increased in
violence, and that the vessel will 1
turn up all right in a few
days. While this storm docs not
compare with the great storm of If.75 in
violence and destructiveness, the water
was much higher, and covered a greater
portion of theeity. All the street, railways
are badly damaged, and that portion alone
the line of the beach is completely de
stroyed. The street pavement is washed
up, bridges and culverts arc gone, and the
damage done in this direction is heavy.
A just estimate of the damage
cannot be made until the storm
shall have abated. Many families
have lost their nil and are destitute. It is
thought b\ conservative men that the L>:-s
will reach’ fullv .-*200,000, and perhaps more.
Telegraphic communication was inter
rupted at 3 a. m. yesterday, but was re
stored at 5 a. m. Railway communication
which was broken at midnight Thursday
night has not been restored in consequence
of the dangerous condition of the bridges
across West bay.

New York, August 21.—To-day’s race,
the first of’ a series of trial contests to de
termine which of our sloop yachts shall
meet the Brutish cutter Gulden in Septem
ber, resulted in a victory for the new sloop
Mayflower. She beat the Puritan by 11
minutes and VI seconds over a forty mile
course. She also defeated the Atlantic 10
minutes and 51 seconds, and the Priscilla
18 minutes and 20 seconds, and made the
fastest elapsed time over the course.
The Atlantic defeated the Puritan by
20 seconds a id the Priscilla by 7 minutes
and 38 seconds, while the Puritan
beat the Priscilla 7 minutes and 10 seconds.
The Atlantic was first across the line at
10:12.07, Cap'. Joe Klsworth at t he. vrneel,
the Puritan next, only 43 seconds behind,
with Commodore J. Malcolm Forbes steer
ing her; then the Priscilla, steered by Com
modore \. * 'ass Canfield, at 10:13.20, and
the Mayflower, under Captain Martin Van
Buren Stones’ guidance, bringing up the
rear at 10:14.20. The course was to and
around the buoys 10 and 8 : , thence around
Sandy Hook lightship and return to the
finish off buoy 15, thence passing between
it and the judges’ boat lying to the eastward
of it. The handsome quartette of racing
crafts were ably manned. Their course
from the start to Sandy Hook was against
the flood tide, and from there to the light
ship it was a dead beat to the windward.
A great improvement in the Atlantic’s
sailing was noticeable from the first..
Accompanying the sloops were the steam
yachts F.iectriu, Liguon, Stranger, Ocean
Gem, Vision, Empress, and the sailing
yachts Dauntless, Espirits, Myriand. Gala-
tea, Estelle and twenty-two tug boats and
other craft. The time made to buoy ten
by each yacht was: Atlantic, 1:17:19: Pris
cilla, 1:19:20: Puritan, 1:23:15: Mayflower,
1:20:44. As soon as llie Mayflower felt the
long ocean swells, she begun to out-
foot the others. Slu* had been
steadily overhauling the Puritan for
some lime and a 1 exactly 12 o’clock.'When
about two miles southwest of Sandy Hook
she passed her to the windward. She then
made a play for her only antagonist, the
Atlantic. Capt. .'tone, of the Mayflower,
put the s';oop about five seconds ai'ier iiis-
rival, and though on the Atlantic’s lee
quarter it that time, she walked out to
the windward oflier in ten minutes, cross
ing her bows, and took first place in tin-
contest. V n n the May'loWt i tacked the

Lieut, lfeini, watching the Mayflower
from the judges’ boat, said. “Hint boat's
eight minutes around the light ship and
has no spennaker set yet. That wouldn’t
do in my ship.”
The Mayflower and Puritan set their
spinnakers to the starboard, while tin*
other two set Lheir’s out to the port,
making a pretty picture. The Mayflower's

Chicago, August 21. -The Illinois Slants
/icitung, in its leading editorial to-day, j
says: "The great American republic lias
unnouiKH d to the whole world, the mouths
of twelve honest men in Chicago, that free
dom is not synonymous with the ovei t brow
of the principles of a well ordered govern- 1
incut and social states, and that it under- !
stands how to protect true American free- j
doni against that contemptible Eli- j
ropcan outgrowth, anarchy. The saddest j
thought lor us German Americans is!
I he fact that a majority of the men who !
through the terrors of llayniarket have |
brought upon themselves the contempt
and anger of the entire republic of our j
fatherland and the home of our ohiMren j
are Germans. Of course a majority of the j
American people have become convinced
that the anarchists form a very small ;
minority ol’the German-American element I
and is totally foreign to it. The j
judicial denunciation of anarchy in
America will prove a most
potent, influence upon the American and !
Germ in American workingmen. Through 1

bloody oppression beneath which it has

Chicago, August 21.- -There was a meet- ,
ing last night of all the female relatives of
the sentenced anarchists. They were re- i
i inlbivod by men from all parts of the city,
and Miss Spies subsequently said that over
4900 was subscribed to a fund to carry the
' ease to the supreme court. Miss Spies said :
“We have been watched and hounded by
detectives and newspaper men until we arc
nearly harrassed to death, but we got away
with them all this time and
had our meeting. The law may beat
• us by Judge Gary’s ridings and by special
! picas made by Mr. Grinncll, but the su
preme court never will endorse or rule the
' sunn wav. Judge Phillips and others have
told us that. Think of my brother being
hanged when he was only trying to ci.> the
best he could l.o help the workingmen. 1
It was reported that Mrs. 1 Mines made
an energetic pica to the meeting in favor
of awaiting Ihe decision of the supreme
court. The. women said they had no fears of
starvation or being dcstrained for rent, as
the oppressed of all nations would come to
their succor. When the meeting dispersed
il was an early morning hour and the
: women all embraced and declared they
! would stand together.
W. H. Parsons, brother of the condemned
1 anarchist, said to a reporter last eight that
tlie ease would be carried to the supreme
court of the United States it necessary. It
is very well understood that a leading
1 exception will be the refusal of Judge
Gary to give for tin-defense the instruction
which gave to ail men the right to peace
ably assemble and to repel by force any at-
1 tempt either by the authorities or private
individuals to break up such meetings. If
the state’s supreme court overruled them
Ion this point, they will appeal to tin*
! United States supreme court on the ground
that the question is a constitutional one.

has no chance to better herself in the race
for the pennant and Savannah could not
reach the Atlantan if she won all four
games, yet the meeting of these clubs on
neutral ground would call out tremendous
crowds and give heavy gate receipts,
on which Atlanta will have a handsome
royalty.

lieu lias been rereiv d ai t in s!me depart
ment of the alleged purpose of the Mexi
cans io pardon Cutting as soon as in- .-u:di
have entered upon his term of imprison
ment. hut there is a disposition to believe
that some way will soon be found to re
lease him and thus get rid of the annoying
complication. Should this he done, merely
as an act of clemency on the part, of the
Mexican authorities, and without any 1
avowed renunciation of the claim of extra
territorial jurisdiction, this government
will then undertake the task of securing
such renunciation so far as American
citizens are concerned, since the claim is
held to he abhorrent to all principles of
modern international law as recognized
and practiced hy the governments which
make any pretense to civilization. With
l’lilting out of tlie way as the direct issue,
subsequent proceedings would of course be
carried on through tin* ordinary channels
of diplomacy and without a hint or suspi
cion of possible war mi oil her side. It is
admitted that tlie obnoxious law was at
the time Mexico declared her independence
a part of the French code, and that certain
other Kuropean powers may have set up
and praeticed upon similar claims at that
time, but it is asserted that it has long
since li.-eu abrogated, or passed into disuse,
and (lull such a claim would not now be
assent'd to fora moment by the American
government, whoever might set it up.
Phcre are crimes, such as conspiracies to
ovcilhiow foreign governments and 1 he
filling out of filibustering expeditions,
which, if committed by Americans upon
American soil, would not only render the
criminal liable lo arrest and punishment
lu re ibr a filiation of our own laws, but
also if subsequently caught within the
jurisdiction of the offended governmunt,
liable to apprehension and trial according
fo flic l iwsoftlmt power, without calling
for other action on 1 lie part of our govern
incut, than an efinrt to see that the ac
cused had a fair trial. Bui. offenses against
t he persons or interests of foreigners, com
mitted upon A murium soil, either h.v
Americans or foreigners, are, il is claimed,
within the sole and exclusive local juris-
diet ion of the A meriean courts, and to t his
doctrine, it is asserted, all civilized govern
ments except Mexico assent.
it can l>e stated by authority that no de
mand ibr Consul Brigham’s resignat ion has
been made, and that he is held in h
esteem h.v I lie department of slat
u y t lie denarf incut of state is officially in* (
formed his actions in connection with the |
Cutting cpisodt have been wise, energetic
and creditable. It seems to In accepted in j
some quarters as proven that Hie depart-j
ment has made a mistake in its assumption
that Mexico holds Cutting for an act com
mitted upon t his side, of 1 In- boundary line.
No mistake, is acknowledged at the depart
ment, and so far as present information
goes the position taken by this govern
ment is fully .just ilh*; .

into his presence, the murderer struck him
a heavy blow with a stick, which felled
him. The watchman heard the struggle
and came to the rescue. The murderer
turned at bay and fought both men des
perately. He w as a powerful fellow, and
pressed his antagonists so hard that it was
necessary to shoot him. The watchman
sent a bullet into Verlmines’ head and he
succumbed. The ball entered back of the
ear and ranged around the rear of the
skulk He was taken to the depot and put
aboard a car, the officer in charge taking a
seat at the rear. Verlmines now fell into a
heavy stupor, rested his head on the seat,
and with folded hands and closed eves
seemed lo he in a semi-comatose state. No
idea was entertained that the wounded and
hund-culTed prisoner would attempt to es
cape. The train had nearly reached
Guthrie, when the apparently half-dead
murderer made a convulsive spring
for liberty through the open
w indow. Tin* deed was done in a moment.
'The train was running at the rate of
twenty-live miles an hour when the des-
; perute criminal plunged head-foremost to
wards the earth. The brakeman said Ver-
haines tell on his shoulder. He jumped to
his feet as if unhurt and ran like a deer for
the dense woods which lined the road, into
which he disappeared. The train was
• stopped as soon 11s possible and the guard
(started to look for his man. lie did not
• find him and returned tn the train, lie
got off ai Guthrie to form a posse and
search for the murderer.

trading in the morning was dull and sag

it showed only a small decrease in the
surplus reserve, which relieved any
apprehensions which may have been
felt on the score of further stringency
in money, and the other changes were re

There was a firmer market during t he af

sharply on light trading. The activity in
the latter was accompanied by a re-
! vival of the stories about the speedy
' settlement with the Lake Shore. At the
opening t he market was firm, but showed
very few changes in prices. Thu market
was then very quiet till noon, from which
time to the last hour a much bet ter fee ling

Smit Ii, of No. 1030 Tenth avenue, accom
panied Storen and corroborated every
.statement, made by him. Storen’s story is
us follows: “t’p to last spring 1 was at
work at the bricklayer's trade and was en
abled to support my wife and three chil
dren decent ly. I belonged to Bricklayers’
l’nionNo.2, but with a number of other
iiicml>* i*s, I left the union because the
officers were using the funds as they saw-
lit. Finally L’nioii No. 7 was organized out
of the ofii one, with the same olticers and
on the same basis. Most of the old mem
bers went into the new association, but
w hen I .applied for membership I was
black-balled. Three black balls out of
IsOd members were sufficient to snut a
man out. 'I'hc secretary, treasurer and

The walking delegate of the union
informed Foreman Flanagan that I would
pay the union *25 or stop working. The
foreman ol!’rr»*<l the union >50 to be per
mitted to keep me at work, but the dele
gate said if I was not discharged every
man on the wall would quit work. I was
laid off, and since then, although I have
begged and prayed lor work, the union
will not let me handle a trowel anywhere.
Six weeks ago my little baby die d of priva-
tation, and my wife and two children are
now suffering for the necessaries of life. I
think it is hard that in a free country
when a man is young, healthy and willing
to work, he cannot provide bread lor his
family because the union decrees other
wise.
