From the Pbtlsdelphta Times.
The brusbmakers* conference was continued yw-
terday at America Rail, Jayne street below Seventh.
The constitution and by-laws of tbe proposed Inter
national union were approved of and tbe organiza
tion lorm^lly inaugurated. Briefly, the objects of
the union are the obtaining for tbe trade more
privileges ami emolument* than have hitherto been
accorded them aud the promotion of tbetr material,
moral and Intel eetual weirare. These objecta are to
bo attained by the utual system of woekly assess
ment* to provide against loss of work, disablement
or sickness; b/ advancing money for travollng
expense; by the legal drfemo of tnemnera in co»o
of prosecution for fulfillment of their obligations
to the nnlon, and by tbe prohibition of the
ployment of children, the prohibition of prison
labor and the recognition of eight hours as tho
standard of a day's work.
Tbe consideration of tbe question of convict la
bor occuptod tbe almost exclusive attention oftbo
delegate* yesterday, and In this connection the fol
lowing re«olntion wav adopted;
“Resolved, That we, tbe Drushmakor's Internv-
nattoual Cnlpn of America, representing the legiti
mately employed journeymen bruahmakers ot the
United States, do hereby condemn aud de&oanee the
present system of convict labor a* carried on in tbe
various mate prisons, reform school* aud correc
tional Institutions, whether supported by the State
ty, and tha* *»» demand of our legislator*.
Gai.vestox, Angust 22. Ah the wind
freshened Frid-y « veniu^ there were ap-
prebenhions that ni{.;ht tlmt tliero would b«
a repetition of tho night h.-foro, hut theue
nt away as night advanced. By 10 o’clock
the rain had coi-.ed aud tho cloud* broken
away. Families who had been driven from
homes by,tlie rapid iuraid of the Gulf a
water the night before, returned to their
water-logged houses aud began the work of
reparation, while hundreds of others whose
homes, with all their poKHeKwious, had
been swept away, sought the much needed
rest after the terrors through which they
had passed. The morning broke clear and
beautiful, tho waters whhh had inundated
one-half of tho eastern and southern por
tions of the city to the depth of from one
to seven feet had subsided, except in low
places. The beach ami adjacent portions
of tho city for several blocks back from
tho shore presented a deplorable scene of
hnvoo and desolation us tar as one could
see. Tho ruins of hundreds of houses, large
and small, *iad been hurled and twisted
into every shape, while buck pillars and
wooden piling in every direction contiguous
to tho beach and exposed to the full force
of tho gale indicated where happy homes
had stood the night before, but which were
swallowed up and destroyed iu the awful
maelstrom that then prevailed.
All pleasure resorts along tho Gulf shore
are either swept away or ruined. The
plaza in front of tho Beach Hotel was fur
rowed by t. e force of tho waves and piled
up with tho debris, while all tho false work
protecting tho foundation of tho hotel, with
fresh water tanks aud outbuildings, was
swept away, and deep furrows wore cut un
der the building itself.
The menagerie, cousiHiiug ot a long row
of cages on tho beach lawn, containing
birds and animals, were washed over ana
broken, and many of the birds and animals
were drovoe4 or killed, while others made
their escape. Among tho animals that
escaped were two Mexican lions, which wt ro
on the point of making things lively when
thoy were shot by the night watchman,who
received a dangerous wound by an acci
dental shot of hi* assistant,passing through
his arm.
Tho heaviest damage to properly occurred
in the vicinity of the Beach Hotel. The
wide area devastated by the water makes an
approximate estimate of tho amount of dam
age done somewhat diiUcult, but it is now
estimated by close calculation that it will
not fall below $500,000, and may exceed
that.
Tho work of righting the buildings baa
commenced, street railways aro being re
paired and travel has been resumed over
some of tho lines, but many months will
elupso before nil traces of the storm aro
effaced. The majority of tho sufferers from
tho flood aro of the poorer class of people.
Many of them lost nil thoy had and are Des
titute and discouraged, being dependent
upon friends for temporary shelter and re
lief. Private charity has been active in
providing for tho relief of tho sufferers.
