NO GREAT DAMAGE
Communication With Hurricane
Swept Section Is Restored.
COAST HAS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Expected Enormous Loss of Life For
tunately Not Realized, as
Only Few Fatalities Have
Been Reported.
Wire communication was restored
with the section swept by the gulf hur
rieane Friday, and the reports Indicate
that the destruction wrought to prop
erty and life is far lose than was ap
prehended.
The storm seems to have been cen
tral about Mobile, Ala., blit, beyond
flooding many business houses and
wrecking several pleasure yacht*; no
damage was done, There were nu
merous reports of persons drowned,
but investigation proved that they
were untrue. Central Alabama was
touched by the storm and cotton and
corn were prostrated. The railroads
also suffered severely.
At New Orleans the storm passed
away without doing any great damage
except below the city and at the riv
er's mouth, where several fatalities oc
curred. Rice and orange farms on
the lower coast were badly injured.
Just above Quarantine a house was
overturned with fifte,en persons in it
and four women were drowned. Two
sailors also reported lost.
At Pensacola, Fla., the wind reap
ed a velocity of 70 miles an hour, and
the shipping in the bay suffered se
verely. The American steamship Ev
lyn went aground near the bar with a
cargo valued at $400,000 and is fast
going to pieces, and four schooners
in the bay sunk. The total loss is $70,
000 .
The center of the storm Friday was
a few miles south of Memphis, Tenn.,
having moved northward about 175
miles in 12 hours. It was attended by
heavy rains, over three inches having
fallen at Memphis in 12 hours.
STRIKERS ARE JUBILANT.
Steel Workers at Joliet Reconsider
and Swing Into Line.
The center of interest in the stool
strike Friday shifted to the west,
w-here Joliet finally swung into line
with the strikers and Milwaukee is ex
pected to follow suit. The news that
came out of the west cheered th* strik
ers throughout the districts in Pitts
burg and vicinity as no other develop
ment since the labor was was declar
ed. In. their enthusiasm they count
upon favorable action at Milwaukee
tomorrow and, carrying their hopes
still further, say that they will yet win
Chicago over. These successes, they
declare with apparent confidence, will
make them masters of the situation
and win the strike.
The steel operators, on the other
hand, say that the strikers are nearly
at the flood tide of tneir success and
when the ebb comes it can never be
stopped. They do not seem to be dis
turbed by recent events and, with a
confidence equal to that of the strik
ers, talk of the certainty- of ultimate
success.
SIXTY TEACHERS WED.
Were on the Way to Philippine* and
Knots Were Tied at Honolulu.
According to a cable dispatch of the
400 American teachers who sailed on
tho transport Thomas from San Fran
cisco to Manila, sixty of them on
reaching Honolulu, were married. Tho
tcachers had been chosen from tho
many normal universities of the conn
try and were strangers to each other.
Their acquaintance and courtship ex
tended over a period of less than ten
days.
The captain of the Thomas refused
to permit the weddings while at sea,
and the thirty couples, upon the ar
rival of the transport at Honolulu,
sought out a clergyman and were mar
ried. A boat was chartered and tho
thirty pairs made a tour of the hay.
REDUCE DUTIES OR ANNEX.
-
Havana Tobacco Buyers Want Uncls
Sam to Uo wer Rate , on the Weed
Tho union of tobacco buyers of Ha
vana was recently asked by the mer
chants’ union to give an opinion a.i to
the duties levied in the United States
upon Cuban tobacco. The reply was
to the effect that the duty on cigars,
wrappers and fillings should be deci-J
ed ly reduced.
A long preamble asserts that Cuba,
j; g^e does not obtain concessions to
which she has a perfect right, In view
of the fact tlmt she Is under the eco
nounic protection of the United States, !
should ask for annexation.

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
BLACKSHEAR. GA.. THURSDAY. AUGUST DA 1901.
MANY BATTLES FOUGHT.
Forces of President Castro, of Vene
zuela, Have Numerous Engage
ments With Revolutionists.
Mail advices received at San Juan.
Porto Rico, from Caracas, Venezuela,
under date of August 10 give accounts
' of numerous engagements In the state
] of Tachira between President Castro's
torces and the revolutionists, in Cas
' tro’s official bulletins he mentions the
! Colombian army. He reported
en
gagements since the battle of San
Cristobol. July 29, at Pirlneos, l.-aa
o'elipas. La Parada, La Grita, Encotv
trados, Colon and Las Cumbres, all is
Tachira.
| The Venezuelan casualties, accord
i lng to Castro's official bulletins, were
I General Itosendo Madina aud four col
onels killed and 300 men killed and
wounded. Madina was a prominent
man. He was formerly a governor and
I senator. August 8 there was an en
] counter at Las Cumbres with a second
force of revolutionists.
The News’ Caracas correspondent,
I writing August 10, says a second Co
lombian army invaded Venezuela.
This second force is reported to a
number 5,000 men. Friday troops at
tacked Las Cumbres and were repuls
ed. The main division of the armies
have not yet met.
French Warship at Colon.
A Washington special says: No im
portant developments in the Colombia
Venezuela situation were made known
to the state department during the
early part of Wednesday, and the re
ported death of General Uribe-Urlbe
could not be confirmed in any official
quarter. It is expected that the Ma
rhias will complete her roaling and
taking on of ammunition and will bs
off for Panama at the earliest possible
moment.
In this connection it is noted that.
the French warship Suchet has arriv
ed at Colon, Although the French
are understood to have considerable
property interests on the isthmus, It
is said that there is no provision in
the treaty between France and Colom
bia, similar to that in the treaty be
tween France and the United States,
requiring that free transit across the
isthmus shall be kept open. However,
it is not doubted that the presence of
the Suchet will have a salutary influ
ence in quieting disorder.
According to advices from Paris the
French papers seriously comment on
the South American troubles and the,
probable action of the United States.
The Journal des Debats Eays:
"It is to be presumed that the Co
lombian government will think twice
before accepting the aid of the gov
ernment of Washington in its trouble
with Venezuela. The recent history
of Cuba is not encouraging in tills con
nexion. It is difficult, to imagine the
United States rendering assistance to
Colombia without demanding compen
sation and the establishment of some
form of American interest in the isth
mus seems to be the compensation ex
pected. Such an event as this would
far exceed the proportion of American
happening.”
MALE PASSENGERS FLED.
Only Woman and Her Husband Were
Left to Face Lone Stage Robber.
News was received in Glens Falls,
N. Y., Wednesday night that the Blue
Mountain stage was held up by a
masked robber about noon at North
river and completely looted.
The stage connects with a train
which reached North Creek, Warren
county, a station on the Adlrondachs
and Hudson railroad, at 10:20 o'clock
a. m. When it left the station Wed
nesday it contained seven men and
one woman, besides a quantity of ex
press and mall matter for Blue Moun
tain Lake. When the stage was one
and a half miles north of Dunlap’s ho
tel, at North river, a masked robber
suddenly appeared,
His first move was to shoot one of
the horses. He then ordered the pas
sengers to hold up their hands and
alight. Six of the men immediately
took to the woods, the remaining man
staying with his wife, who was reliev
ed of $20.
The highwayman then rifled the
mail bags and plundered the express
packages, taking everything of value.
He then disappeared Into the woods.
OIL IN TENNESSEE.
Prospector Reports a Find and Much
Excitement Follows In Consequence.
Some little excitement has been oc
casioned by the reported finding of
coal oil at Athens, T<-nn. A prospe r*.
tor claims to have discovered the ex
istence of coal oil and gas in several
places. Samples of different strata
have been analyzed and pronounced
good. Oil In a crude state, he says, is
contained in a peculiar slate, Inter
mixed with black diamonds or prisms,
and, when broken, all the cavities are
filled with oil.

LIKE TRAPPED RATS
Five Men Burned, Four Drowned
And Others Suffocated.
ALL ESCAPE TOTALLY CUT OFF
Waterworks Crib Being Erected In
a Lake at Cleveland, Ohio, Burns,
Resulting In a Fearfully
Fatal Tragedy.
Five men were burned to death, four
were drowned, one, and possibly four,
suffocated, and several Injured as the
result cf a fire which destroyed a tem
porary water works crib two miles off
the Cleveland, Ohio, harbor early Wed
nesday.
When the flames broke out 26 men
took refuge in the water on floating
pieces of wreckage. Four of them lost
their hold upon their frail floats and
sank just as help reached their com
rades.
The crow of the tug .1. P. Sprankle
heard the fire whistle blown from the
crib and raced to the scene from the
harbor. Sho picked up 18 of the sur
vivors who had drifted to the west of
the crib. Just as the line was burning
away above the men's hands a yawl
boat from the bargo Wilhelm, manned
by two men, dashe into the veil of
heat and smoke that enveloped the
crib and rescued the four men on the
rope at the risk of the boatmen’s lives.
The crib is a total loss, it was a
frame building 200 by 50 feet, Hie
sides sheathed with iron. The crib
and machinery wore the property of
Shailer & Schninglau. contractors.
Their loss will be $200,000.
The tugs circled around the burn
ing crib, picking up men from the wa
ter apd meantime playing heavy
streams.upon (he flames.
After an hour’s hard work the
flames were diminished en nigh .so
that, the firemen couid climb up the
charred steps and tight the lire from
the interior. Then the horror of the
calamity was first realized. Every
thing was a total wreck. While Kio
firemen were pouring water on the
flames there was a roaring furnace be
neath which could not he reached. Hut
the firemen clung to their places and
fought every inch of the way until the
Are was under control.
After two hours of hard work five
charred human bodies were found
burned beyond recognition, Two
were in the attitude of prayer. They
must have been awakened by the lire,
but could not escape. They were
caught, like rats in a trap.
As soon as the five bodies were dis
covered a tug returned to the har
bor at once and notified the coroner
of the discovery. While mis was go
;ng on ways anil means were being
devised to reach the men imprisoned
In the tunnel, whose ah’ supply ha-1
apparently been shut off entirely by
the burning of the compressed air ma
chinery.
A line was quickly dropped down
the shaft in response to cries for help
and as it tightened a shout of joy
went up from those above, for It was
quickly observed that, a man at
the bottom was able to grasp it.
He yelled to the rescuers to pull
him up. Slowly and carefully he was
raised.
He was William Curry, of Canton,
and as soon as he could gasp, said:
“They are all at the bottom of the
shaft, hurry up."
In quick succession seven others
were, brought up from the foul and
stifling air of the tunnel. All were m
a most pitiable condition. They re
ported that, two other mi n were lying
unconscious at the bottom of the shaft.
A workman volunteered to rescue
these men, and he was quickly low
ered Into the shaft. In a few rninui.ru
the unconscious men were brought up
more dead than alive.
The tunnel, which has been under
course of construction for several
years past, and Is still far from com
pletc, has been tin cause, all told, of
the loss of more than thirty lives.
Four years ago an explosion in the
shore section of the tunnel resulted
In tho suffocation of eighteen men.
Two years ago In a similar accident
several more men were killed at al
most the same place and Wednesday's
catastrophe adds at least ten addition
al names to the death list.
Th-e fire was due to an overheated
boiler smokestack. The boiler explod
ed soon after the flames broke out.
Mayor Johnson Indignant.
Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, ex
pressed great Indignation when he
learned that no boat or life preserv
ers were provided as a safety measure
by the contractors at the crib. He
declared that, the case would require
the closest Investigation and that
those found guilty of criminal negli
gence in the matter would be prose
cuted to the full extent of the law.
“TOO EARLY IN THE GAME.”
Judge Candler Orders Mr. Tindall
Back to the Macon Jail.
At Macon, Oa., Wednesday morning
Judge Candler ordered H. C. Tindall
back to Jail on the contempt charge.
Tindall's attorney applied for a rule
nisi requiring thi complainant. Clerk
Nlsbet, to show why Tindall lias not
been punished suffl lently, Judge Can
dler replied that tt was too early in
the game for such an application.
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS MEET.
Montague Nominated for Governor in
State Convention at Norfolk.—Con
cise Platform Adopted.
The Virginia democrats finished
their convention work at Norfolk
Thursday afternoon.
Attorney General A. ,1. Montague
got the gubernatorial nomination Wed
nesday night without opposition, no
other name being presented for ac
tion.
The nomination was made by ac
clamation, followed by a burst of ap
plause.
J. E. Willard was nominated as can
didate for lieutenant governor, do
feating Dr. George W. LeCatO, of the
Tidewater section.
There was great disorder at times
during the session of the convention,
and the services of the sergeant n'
arms and several policemen were
needed.
At Thursday’s session the ticket was
completed by the nomination of Ma
jor W. A. Anderson, of Rockbridge
for attorney general, over Hon. .1. L.
Jeffries, In one of the most bitterly
fought battles ever seen in a Virginia
convention. Other candidates for the
nomination were Judge W G. Robert
son, of Roanoke, and Judge S. W. Wil
liams, of Wythe.
The body was stampeded for nearly
two hours and county after county
changed votes from one candidate to
another. Secretary of the committee,
J. T. Lawless, who sided with Jeffries,
yielded to the inevitable finally and
withdrew Jeffries’ name. Anderson
was then nominated by acclamation.
Extracts from Platform.
The platform affirms allegiance to
the national democratic party, de
clares admiration for its leaders, from
Jefferson lo Bryan, and commends
Governor Tyler’s administration. Re
ferring to state affairs, it declares the
public debts have been perfectly and
satisfactorily settled and Interest
promptly met; that there lias been a
gain of $300,000 In net revenue with
out Increase of rate of taxation; that
tho public school system has been
steadily maintained and improved,
population has grown, volumes of farm
products Increased and trade and com
me-rce advanced.
Effective measures to secure the ad
vantages of good roads are favored.
The enactment of a bill modifying the
fellow-servant doctrine, so as to Im
pose a just, and reasonable liability
upon hazardous transportation compa
nies In respect to their employees.
Regarding trusts the platform says’
"Wo declare unalterable opposition t;>
(lie criminal trusts and to every Ille
gal combination of capital. We de
nounce such trusts as a serious men
ace lo public welfare, restricting tie*
opportunities and absorbing the sub
stance of the people. They are the
direct product of partial and unjust
legislation and a reckless multiplica
tion of corporations without, suitable
provisions for their control. The re
course of American freemen must not
he sacrificed In the Interest* of cor
porations banded together for their de
struction. We arraign the republican
party both for Its failure to enforce
existing laws and to enact others
against, the trusts."

Men to Overthrow Thievery.
The Pennsylvania democratic state
convention in session at Harrisburg,
Thursday nominated Judge Herman
Yerkes, of Doylstown, for supreme
court and Representative Andrew .1.
Palm, of Meadville, for state treasurer.
Following the ratification of the
Philadelphia harmony program an ef
fort was made by J. Q. Ulrich, of
Schuylkill, to expel the Philadelphia
delegates. An assistant sergeant-at
arms tried to force Mr. Ulrich to take
his seat and there was almost a riot.
The police Interfered and after much
excitement the Ulrich resolution to ex
pel the delegates was rejected.
The first three paragraphs of the
platform read as follows:
"The democracy of Pennsylvania, in
convention assembled, waiving all
propositions upon which the people of
tno nation divide Into political par
ties, call upon all honest citizens to
unite with us for the redemption of
our commonwealth from the political
freebooters who now control it.
"Every department of our state gov
ernment is honeycombed with profit |
gaey, dishonesty and a reckless dis
regard , of constitutional or moral , ob ,
ligations.
"The powers of government are pros
tituted to the purpose of public
thieves"

London Hotel Keeper Will Not Dis
criminate Between White and Black.
A London cablegram stall's that the
Afro-American delegates to the in
ternatlonal Ecumenical council, which
iH to meet in Wesley's ehnpcl In City
Road. London, next mouth, are arriv
ing. Their advent Is causing unex
pected difficulty at one nl the hlg ho
tels In the west end, where H large
number of Americans are staying. The
latter, amazed by the announcement
that some 2hn colored men were com
lng, formally protested to the proprie
tor, assuring him that such a thing
would nol lie permitted in I In- Unlh'il
States anil drmamllng that the color
ed people he accommodated In a sep
urate part of the hotel. The proprietor
declined to interfere, with the result
that some of the Americans are al
ready arranging to leave.
To a representative of the Associa
ted Press the proprietor said:
"I could not. think of offering an In
sult to such men as Bishop Derrick, of
New York; Bishop Tanner, of Phila
delphia; Bishop Gaines, of Atlanta,
anil Bishop Arnett, I told the Ameri
cans that when the Indian princes
were here no one objected to meeting
them and 1 do not propose to make any
distinction at the expense of Afrl
