EARTHQUAKE AMF-i(IDS.
The Town of Uvalde, Tex., Stricken
With D.vasie.
Raging Torrents Submerge, Wreck
and Slay Unsparingly Many
Drowned- Great Losses to the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company in
Bridges and Washouts—A Brave
Trackwalker.
Uvalde. Tex., Aug. 31. A terrible
catastrophe befell this thriving town last
Bight, and to-day there is mourning in
many households. The calamity was en
tirely unexpected. The treacherous
Leads, river, swollen, to a raging
torrent by recent. ' rains. rushed
without a moment's warning down
upon the towc, submerging and
wrecking many houses and drowning a
number of people. In this arid section,
such destruction by the elements has
never before been chronicled. In the ex
citement of the day it is not definitely
known how many have been drowned.
Among the bodies that have been identi
fied are: Mrs Joe Hatch, Miss Mattie
Edwards, child of Mr. Maley and two
Mexicans.
“It was about 2 o'clock a. m. when the
flood came. Just as the storm broke over
>he city, a torrent of water rushed down
the Leona river, overrunning the banks
of the stream and flooding the lowlands
on either side to a depth of several feet.
The east side of the city is built on low
land, and was directly in the path of this
water. All the houses in this part of the
town were submerged. There were
a number of miraculous escapes, and the
rescuers and the rescued performed many
heroic acts. As soon as those in the
higher part of the town were made aware
of the terriole flood and dire conse
quences the work of rescuing began, and
was carried out as rapidly as possible in
the darkness of the night One Mexican
family, living on the ranch of Sschwaru,
five miles below town, are supposed to
have been lost, no vestige of the ranch
being left. It is feared that Indianola s
history is repeated.
“An earthquake shock of some seconds
duration was distinctly felt during the
night. At one place thecity about a
quarter of a mile of heavy cracks ap
peared on each side of the Leona river,
having apparently no bottom.
A track walker of the teouthern Pacific
after wading through water up to his
neck, with his lantern elevated above his
head, succeeded in feeling his way far
enough east to intercept a westbound
train, and prevent its plunging into the
raging river where the railroad bridge
had been destroyed. News late this
evening reports that families living be
low town were drowned. The tames
have not yet been learned.
The loss to the Southern Pacific Com
pany is enormous, forty miles of track
and many bridges having been washed
away Over lui) carloads of material and
BCO laborers left San Antonio for the
scene of the wreckage this evening. The
damage to the Southern Pacific extends
eastward about seventy-five miles from
this city. A rough estimate of the loss
to property in general and the railroad
company will, as far as known, reach
*1.500.000.
SHOT THE WATCHMAN.
Taken to Task for Indecent Conduct a
Negro Shoots _ ie Questioner.
Roanoke, Va., Aug. 31.—A serious and
perhaps fatal shooting affray occurred at
Blue Ridge Springs Thursday night
about 11 o'clock, in which Taylor Over
street, the watchman at the hotel, was
wounded by Henry Griggs, a colored
waiter at the hotel. Griggs was arrested
and would undoubtedly have been lynched
by the enraged peo;ie had it not been for
Capt Phil Brown, the proprietor of the
hotel.
The trouble arose from the fact that
for some time several of the waiters have
been guilty of indecent conduct in the
presence of Mrs. Terrey. who has charge
of the dairy. The matter was reported
to Capt. Brown, who advised that noth
ing should be done, and warned the
negroes to desist from such conduct. The
odense was repeated, however, and a
crowd went to the negroes for the pur
pose of taking them out and thrashing
them. Mr. Overstreet opened the
door leading into the room
occupied by Griggs and asked him
to come out, as they wanted to see him.
Griggs turned over in bed and fired at
Mr. Overstreet, the bullet striking him in
the abdomen and lodging in his liver.
Overstreet promptly returned the fire
and the shooting became general. Griggs
was shot in the side. Griggs, after being
wounded, attempted to escape and made
a dash through the door. He was fol
lowed and captured in the woods near by.
Capt. Brown was sent for and
when he arrived on the scene
the negro was on his knees pray
ing for mercy, and was surrounded
by men with drawn revolvers
Capt. Brown begged the men not to do
anything rash and let the prisoner be
dealt with according to law. They were
persuaded to do tnis, and the man was
taken to Fincastle for safe keeping. Mr.
Overstreet's wound is of a serious nature,
and fears are entertained for his recov
ery.
TEXAS CROP OUTLOOK.
Oalveston News Sums Up the Situa
tion in the State.
Galveston, Tex., Aug. 31.—The News,
after giving the dates of planting in the
different sections of the state and the
conditions of the young plant, says: “The
crop grew off nicely during May, and suf
fered only slight local damages from
hail and washing out in North
Texas. At the close of May cotton
was reported well worked and in
excellent condition, and early planted
was blooming. Heavy local rains did
some damage to cotton over Central Texas
the first part of June, but general rains
greatly improved the crop throughout the
state. Cotton had commenced blooming
and forming squares by the middle of
June. The weather was generally favor
able for the growth of the crop during
Jluy, and picking had commenced in some
localities by the end of the month.
“The weather during August was about
what was needed for the crop over the
southwestern part of the state, while
over the southeastern part of the state
rather too much rain fell and picking was
delayed throughout that section, and the
cotton was slightly damaged by the wet
weather, worms and rust.
Florida Criminals Pardoned.
Tallahassee, Fla., Aug. 31.—The state

SECOND GEORGIA DISTRICT.
Unexampled Outbreak of Democratic
Enthusiasm for Russell.
Albany, Ga., Aug. 31.—T0-day will long
be remembered in the history of Albany,
because it furnished the most unexpected
and surprising demonstration of demo
cratic enthusiasm ever witnessed in the
Second congicssional district. It was in
deed Ben Russell's day. and could that
gentleman have witnessed the trans
actions which marked his sec
ond nomination. he would have
felt that his faithfulness to
duty had met with the appreciation it de
serves. The fact that Mr. Kusstll had so
far outstripped his opponent—Judge
tiuerry—in ihe primaries led people to
think the convention would prove a very
quiet and perfunctory aaair. But in this
they were surpriseu, especially people of
this democratic city.
Every incoming train this morning
brought crowds of enthusiastic demo
crats. The Thomasville tram brought in
fully 500, and when the procession
marched up Washington street with the
Bainbridge brass band and Uncle Keuben
Pyles of ihomas county, with a national
flag in his hand, at their head, there was
no room to doubt that the unterri
fied democracy of the Second
were still in the ring. The con
vention was held in Willingham
hall and was called to order at 12 o’clock
noon by Editor H. M. Mclntosh, to whom
had been delegated this authority by
Uapt. R. Hobbs, chairman of the execu
tive committee, who was unable to oe
present. There was no temporary organ
ization of the convention. but Editor Mc-
Intosh was mafle permanent chairman,
anu when he announced the convention
ready for business, there were fully 1,000
visiting democrats within the sound of
bis voice. Uapt. John Triplett was made
secretary of the convention.
Tnen came the nomination of Mr. Rus
sell by Mr. S. A. Kodden ,ierry of Thomas
county in a speech that thri.led with elo
quence. The nomination was seconded
b.v Hon. Wm. Harrell of Decatur. and
Hon M. C. Edwards of Terrell, in elo
quent speeches. Mr. Edwards nad been
an earnest Guerry man, but bis speech
was full of democratic enthusiasm, and
placed every Guerry man fully abreast of
those who had championed the cause of
his victorious opponent. The nomination
was then finished by acclamation amidst
cheers that almost raised the roof.
Hon. H. G. Turner's presence in the
city was then announced and a committee
was appointed to wait on him and escort
him to the hall. Mr. Turner responded
and spoke for an hour. Personally Mr.
Turner is very popular in this district,
owing to his long service as its congress
man. but his address did not meet with
any special degree of responsiveness. He
was able as usual, but his aggressiveness
in defending bis views, which are those
of Mr. Cleveland on the financial ques
tion, were in harmony with but few of
his audience.
Ihe convention concluded its labors
with a reorganization of the executive
committee and appointment of a commit
tee to notify Mr. Russell of his nomina
tion It was a great convention, and no
mistake, and presented a remarkable
contrast to that convention of malcon
tents which preceded it on Wednesday.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1894.
THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. 1
The Budget Committee Ready to Re
port ths Tax Rate to the Commis
sioners.
The committee from the county com
missioners on the budget met yesterday
afternoon and made up a report which
will probably be submitted to a special
meeting of the board to be held some
time next week.
The committee consists of Commis
sioners uhapiin. Carson and Kehoe. but
Mr. Carson was out of the city and did
not act. Chairman Dale was present at
the meeting. The budget as recom
mended oy the grand jury carried appro
priations of about #212.000. As made up
yesterday afternoon by the committee
tne toial amount is *196,05'9.94. a re
duction of about *I6.O(XL The iIU.OOO
additional appropriation for education
was left in the budget, conditioned on the
acceptance of it by the board ot education
on the terms made by the graud jury.
The principal items of reduction were in
the amounts of *6,0(J0 put in for the build
ing of the Skidaway bridge, and *5.000
extra for continuing work on the Merid
ian road. Both these amounts were taken
out.
The rate that will be presented in the
report of the committee to the board will
be the same as last year, *10.90 per *I.OOO.
The reduction in the state rate does not
seem to have made any difference in the
totol for the state and county rate for
Chatham, if the report of the budget com
mittee is adopted.
The state rate assessed by the gover
nor is *4.37 per *I,OOO, and the county rate
will be *6.53 per *I,OOO, or 24 cents per
*I.OOO higher than it was last year.
This, however, is the recommendation of
the budget committee and is conditioned
on the action of the entire board at the
special meeting to be called for the pur
pose.
The committee on roads and bridges,
consisting of Commissioners Chaplin, Car
son and Charlton, with the exception that
Mr. Carson was absent, held a meeting,
and took up the work of the Skidaway
bridge matter. The facts and figures in
connection with the building of the
bridge were looked into, but the work
was not finished and the committee is
not ready to make a report. It will
in all probability hold another meeting
before the special meeting of the board is
held. Chairman Chaplin of the commit
tee intimated yesterday that the com
mittee's report would be adverse to the
building of the bridge, and the fact that
no appropriation is made for the purpose
in the report of the budget committee,
would seem to indicate that the board will
act favorably upon the adverse report.
This means there will be no bridge, for
the present at least.

TOO FAT TO KEEP AWAKE.
A Product of the British Workhouse
That Does It Cr dit.
From the London Telegraph.
The inhabitants of Poplar, who work
hard and live frugally in order to pay
their taxes honestly, must be highly grat
ified to learn that they have been wearing
their fingers to the bone to assist William
Edwards, an inmate of their workhouse,
to become so fat that it takes him half an
hour to stoop lo pick up a pin, and another
half hour to raise himself to the perpen
dicular. And after the herculean exer
tion he becomes so exhausted that he re
quires to soeud the next hour in
slumber to recruit his shattered
force. He tried lo induce the au
thorities to accept a theory he had
worked out, which proved that the
trouble of getting out of bed in the morn
ing was so enfeebling that in his case it
should : e omitted from the day’s arrange
ments and his food he sent up to his bed
side. When the workhouse master de
clined to acknowledge the correctness of
this deduction. Edwards endeavored to
carry his pet idea into effect surrepti
tiously by crawling underneath the tablo
or hiding himself in a corner to enjoy a
nap. Never once was the question asked,
“Where’s Edwards;’’ without receiving
the response, not from the person imme
diately concerned, and always correct.
“Asleep, Sir.”
This prodigy, who puts all other fat
boys in the shade, is only 20, and weighs
about twenty one stone, and his cheeks
are so fat that he has not for years seen
his nose And yet some people say that
the poor-law system is a failure. The
other day, when it was rather hot. a
special staff attempted to keep Edwards
awake and failed, so the sleeper wus
brought before the Thames magistrate
charged with neglecting his work. He
then admitted that he felt drowsy after
the good dinner with which the ratepay
ers kindly supplied him. and i< he did
oversleep himself a little he “axed pat-d
--ing. “ Mr. Dickinson said the youth was
apparently too well nourished, and sent
him to jail for seven days as a tonic for an
overfed uud overslept system.

SLIPPED UP THIS TIMS.
The Note Order Scheme Failed to
Work on a Broughton Street Man.
Another case of attempting to secure
money b.v forging the name of a customer
I to a note addressed to a business man
with whom the customer has frequent
dealings came to light yesterday. The
family of Mrs. K. Byck lives at N'o. 206
Broughton street. Mr. S. L. N’ewton
conducts a grocery store at No. 201, on
the opposite side of the street. Yester
day at noon a negro man came into Mr.
Newton's store and handed him a note.
It read as follows:
Mr. S. L. Newton Sir—Will you pi use
feed me bv this man $5 as * have at. j.il.
h.ii and . have no ch nee in the house. I'll
r * u n the .-ame as -o nns Mr. Byck comes
| aa to supper, you win Lbli e
Mas. B zck.
Mr. Newton was somewhat suspi. ious.
as he had beard of the note racket through
the Mousing News, hut thinking that
Mrs. Byck might really have sent for the
money he sent the amount named in the
note over to the house oy a boy in his em
ploy. As soon as the boy called at Mrs.
Byok's with the money the fraud was re
vealed. Mrs. Byck bad not sent for the
money, of course, and was very much sur
prised at the tender of the five dollar note.
\\ hen the boy returned with this infor
mation, however, the negro had slipped
out and was dowhere to be found.
Mr. Newton turned the note over to Mr.
D. A. Byck, who showed it to a Mousing
News reporter. It appears to have been
written by a woman, but at the same
time it is difficult to say whether the
handwriting is that of a man or a
woman. As in all the previous cases of
this kind, the excuse alleged lor asking
the loan is the C. O. D order, and the
request is addressed to a retailer and
signed with the name of a person in the
near neighborhood who is very likely to
be a customer. This is the first instance
in which the scheme has failed to work
successfully. The next person receiving
a note of this kind should seize the bearer
first and investigate afterwards.
REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE.
They Have the Usual Split in Perfect
ing Their Organization.
The colored republicans held their dis
trict meetings last night for the purpose
of perfecting the Darty organization.
The usual split occurred in the First dis
trict meeting. The meeting was held at
Delmonico hall on Huntingdon street. W.
M. Williams started iti as chairman, and
R. N. Rutledge was elected temporary
chairman by acclamation. Rutledge and
Sandy Khett were placed in nomination
by the opposing factions for the position
of permanent chairman.
When the vote was taken each side
claimed the election. Rutledge held the
chair, however, and ruled the other fac
tion out. Representatives of each faction
hurried to the Morning News office as
soon as the meeting adjourned with their
tickets, each side claiming the election of
its ticket by a large majority. The Rut
ledge faction declared the following ticket
elected:
Chairman, R. N. Rutledge, vice chair
man Sand.v Rhett; secretary, T. E. Ferre
bee; treasurer, C. H. Bell; executive com
mittee: Thomas Walker. E. E. Foster, L.
A. Washington, J. p. Proctor, G. H.
Brown; sergeant-at-arm, S. S. Fields.
The Rhett faction declared the follow
ing ticket elected: Chairman, Sandy
Khett; vice chairman, L. A. Washington;
secretary, J. H. Holmes; executive com
mittee: W. M. Williams, J. S. Quarter
man, S. H. Johnston, E. F. Carter,
C. H. Bell. Host a Maxwell was endorsed
as county chairman. It was claimed by
the Rhett faction that the reason of the
difference, was the desire on the part of
the other faction to indorse the
zens ticket, meaniug the ticket nomin
ated at the recent democratic primary.
There is also some talk of putting S. B.
Morse in the field as a candidate for con
gress against Col. Lester.

CONSIDER THE MERITS
SUCCESS SELF-RISING FLOUR.
We deserve your patronage because our
Flour is absolutely the best in quality. It is
not sold as being “just as good as something
else.” It is the “best and goes farthest.” The
price for a 6-pound package is 25 cents; 40 per
cent , more Is what you pay for competing
brands.
“PUT MONEY IN THY PURSE.”
You can put it down as the A. B, C of Self
rising Flour knowledge that there Is not a
6 pound package of Self-rising Flour made
that is worth more than 25 cents at retail.
The manufacturer who forces you to pay 35
cents for a 6-poi.nd package of flour does not
deserve your patronage, unless you want to
let him make sugar trust profits.
