The Commissioners of Delaware
county have reduced Constables' fees
from $3.50 to $2.70. The latter will
contest the reduction.
Postmaster-General Bissel is cred
ited with saying that at the expiration
of this year an entirely new set of
postage stamps will be Issued. The
size will be the same as those issued
in 1892, and one of the denominations
will bear the portrait of James G.
Blaine.

Another republican daily paper is
soon to be started in Williamsport. A
syndicate there, desiring an organ that
they can use at their own will, have
secured the services of V. L. Showers
Esq., of Lewisburg.to be the editor
and will launch out in the sea ot journ
alism. A meeting of thy division chairmen
has been called for October 11, at
Philadelphia, to discuss the policy to
be pursued this Fall by the state Dem
ocratic committee and to determine
upon what measures shall be taken to
carry on the contest in Allegheny
county, wheie the situation is hopeful,
because of the disaffection to the Re
publican ranks and the opposition to
the Magee Flynn ticket.
There are rumors afloat to the ef
fect that efforts are being made in
certain quarters to bring out an inde
pendent candidate for the office of
county treasurer. The scheme is to
have the republican candidate R, S.
Bowman, withdraw, and then throw
the republican vote for the indepen
dent democrat, with the hope of rak
ing in a sufficient number of disgrunt
led followers, to defeat the regular
democratic nominee. It is to be
hoped that no democrat can be found
in the county who will lend himself to
such a scheme, for his own sake, for
he is sure to meet with defeat, while
those who urge him on have nothing
to lose. It would not hurt the regular
nominee, J. R. Fowler much, while it
would be suicidal for the other fellow.
There is no demand this year for an
independent.
Sam Matt Friday of Mountville,
Lancaster County, Collector for the
Ninth Internal Revenue district, has
tendered his resignation to President
Cleveland to take effect upon the ap
pointment and qualifications of his
successor. Mr. Friday's term expires
October 31st. There are several ap
plicants for the place. Dauphin
county is represented by B. M. Nead,
of Harrisburg, Secretary of the State
Democratic committee ; R. E. Shearer,
of Carlisle, chairman of the Cumber
land county Democratic committee.
Lemon Love and Edward B. Stuck,
of York j William B. Given, of Col

also applicants.

Nw Orlraxk, Oct 4. The great storm
has pained and although the wire are still
down biu of Intelllgoncs continua to corns
in from various point which impart the
information tht the losa of life, to aay
nothlog of ths destruction of property,
is fcre (tendons. From Bnyou Cook, thn
fgrrnt oyntar fluid which loads to the gulf,
it Is reported that tha settlements of the
fishermen hnv been completely demolished
and that the loss of life has reached the
appalling figure of 270.
Orand Isle, summer resort, lying la
the gulf directly in the path ot the storm,
is said to have been utterly destroyed and
It Is known that the loss of life is large.
Many people were here spending the de
lightful early autumn season and numbers
of those who had spent the late summer
month in their cottages, had not yet
started for their homes. The hoWls and
toe two long rows ot cottages which con
stituted the resort, are said to be no more,
and it is feared that the loss of life at this
point will be very great.
In the parish of 1'laquemlne the village
of Bohemia on the Mississippi and Shell
1'euch ou Lake llorgue, wore wiped out
aud at least four lives lost in each place.
On both sides of the river the sugar, rice
and orange crops have suffervd a great deal
of damage and on the west Mile of the
river the loss of life is reported to have
been very great.
It will be some days before the full ex
tent of the damage wrought will be known,
but it is feared here that the grind total
will pale into inslgnlllcsucn the number of
deaths reported from the storm which re
cently devastated the Atlnntlc coast.
Death by Hundred
Yesterday a lono and ragged fisherman,
who was a ;ne tuber of the fishing colony
at Bayou Cook, where nil the oysters bear
ing tuat name are Ashed, and which is lo
cated about seven miles back ot the Burns
settlement, came to the Socola canal,
which is located on the west bank of the
Mississippi, opposite Point a la Hauhe, nud
reported to the keeper of the loci; of the
cnual, Ozene Martin, that of the !iJ ) peo
ple who composed the colony but SO had
succeeded in escaping the fury of the ele
ments. The fishermen had nil retired
Sunday night as usual aud though the
wind was blowing pretty hard, there whs
no forerunner of the terrible catastrophe
that followed. As the night grew apace
the wind increased in velocity until the
timbers in the houses began to creak in
an alarming manner and the roar of the
waves grew louder and louder. The
water rose with startling rapidity, and be
fore the unfortunates, who hud 00 possi
ble means of escape, had time to grasp
some floating object, they were over
whelmed with the awful might and found
their fate In watery graves. He had clung
to a tree throughout the night, and when
morning dawned the scene of wreokage
that spread before his view was simply ter
rible. Of the many little cabins which had
sheltered the prosperous colony the night
before barely one was standing. Of the 800
or more human beings who Inhabited them
but tenth of the number lived to tell of
the night ot experiences filled with horror
which they will never forget. He describes
the visitation as la the nature of a' tidal
w ave which swept everything before it.
Greater Fatalities) Feared.
While uothing definite was received from
O rand Isle, there was a general impression
at Point a la Rache that dire disaster bad
occurred there and it was even reported
that the water had swept over the island,
carrying everything before it in its awful
fury, and much concern was felt for the
s.ifetj of the two or three hundred inhabi
tant who were known to have been there.
The report also said that the big hotel had
been blown away. While this hue not
licen confirmed, such a calamity was pos
sible in view ot the terrible violence of the
storm at Bayou Cook as reported by the
lone fisherman.
Report also bad it that the settlements
at Chenier Anmnada, which Is directly
Herons the bay from Grand Isle, had been
the scene of a terriblo loss of life but this
also lacked confirmation. No communi
cation wuh possible with those points and
it will doubtless be several days before the
extent of the calamity there is made
known.
It was also reported that several casual
ties had occurred in the neighborhood of
Fore Jackson but there was no way of get
ting at the particulars.
The greatest damage by the storm on the
left bank ot the river from New Orleans to
the gulf la to the crops and especially riee,
which Mffered;severely. Ot courps there
were many houses blown down but their

as a diligent search could ascertain foots

and Bohemia, four, Mrs, Leonce La France

Monday morning and raged with Increas
ing fury for five or six hours are juxt be
ging to oome In and. as was feared, Indi
cations are thnt the loss of life in the low
lands east of the city has been very great.
There Is no doubt that It will be a week or
longer before the full story of the storm
with all tha attendant details of death and
destruction will be told.
Rumors place the loss of life at SO but
possibly not more than 23 have perished.
This side of Coke'.y, In the marshes, whole
families have been swept away and the
actual loss of life will probably never be
known.
It is probable that many have perished
whose Identity will never be revealed. The
spots Inhabited by the marsh gardeners are
only a fow fuct above mean low water,
and the houses are generally built ou
pilings as a precaution against high tides.
So far only one family, the Bangles, are
known to have escaped death.

WASHINGTON LETTER,
THE BSHATE DEAD LOOK.
A Compromise Soon to be Made.
FEDERAL ELECTION" LAW TO HE RE
PEALED.
(From our KegiUnr Correspondent )
Washinoton, Oct. a, 1893
The key that will open the dead
lock in the Senate is being made, but
the locksmiths are not working in pub
lic. It is evident that something of
great importance is going on under
the surface in the Senate. The talk
for and against the VoorheesJ repeal
bill still takes up the regulated amount
of time each day, and will probably
continue to do so until some time
next week, but Senators representing
all sides of the silver question are
holding consultations in p'ivate and it
is confidently expected that the result
will be a compromise between the con
flicting demands that, while it will not
be precisely what is desired by either
President Cleveland or tho Senators
who favor the free coinage of silver,
will be of such a nature that it will be
accepted by the free coinage men as
the best they can get and signed by
President Cleveland as the only silver
measure that can be passed by the
Senate. The exact nature of the com
promise cannot be given, because it
has not yet been decided upon, but
that it will provide for the continued
coinage of silver by the government
and for the issue of bonds to strength
en the Treasury gold reserve is regard
ed as certain, as they are the two
thir gs contended for by the silver men
and .he unconditional repeal men re
spec ively. President Cleveland has
taken and will take no part in this
compromise. He has made his rec
ommendation in the regular way and
will have nothing more to say until
Congress sends him the bill. While
he believes that the proper thing to do
is to pass the Voorhces bill without
amendment, leaving other financial
matters to follow in a separate bill, it
is thought that he will sign the pro
posed compromise.
Should the expectation of disposing
of the silver question by the 15th of
this month be realized it is probable
that Congress will take a recess of
several weeks. A recess can easily be
taken without retarding legislation, as
the House will next week pass the bill
tor the repeal of the Federal e'ection
law and no ruber important bill will
be reported for a while. The commit
tees will of course, continue their
work during the recess, if one be tak
en, and soon after Congress comes to
gether again it is hoped that the new
tariff bill will be ready to be reported
to the House.
The republicans in the House have
up to this time shown a fear of the
bill for the repeal of the Federal elec
tion laws that is in some respects re
markable. The attempts that they
have made to defend those laws have
been so weak that they practically
amount to an acknowledgement that
the laws are bad and vicious in their
tendency and ought to be repealed.'
"Little Bil'y" Chandler made one
of his usual exhibitions of himself in
the Senate Saturday afternoon, while
speaking in favor of a resolution re
cently offered by him, calling on the
Secretary of the Treasury for the a'i
thority under which he appointed the
Fairchild commission, which is inves
tigating republican crookedness in the
office of the Appraiser of the port of
New York. He started out with a lot
of rot about the Senate being ignored
by the unconstitutional and illegal ap
pointment of the commission and
wound up by admitting that Congress
had given trie Secretary of the Treas
ury explicit authority to expend not
more than $100,000 a year for the de
tection and prevention of fraud upon
the customs revenue, precisely the du
ty upon which the Fairchild commis
sion is engaged.
The House committee on banking
and currency is engaged in hearing ar
guments from members of the House
in favor ot the various financial bills,
including several for the repeal of the
tax on slate bank currency, which
have been referred to it, and later out
siders may be heard both for and
against these measures

body else can stop the flood of out
right lies that are being sent out from
Washington concerning the new tariff
bill. Mr. Wilson says of the latest,
charging that the democrats on the
Ways and Means committee were hes
itating about making an attack on the
McKinley atrocitv, and that the com-
mittee had agreed that the new tariff
should not go into effect until January
1st, 1095 : "An to hesitation, the dem
ocrats of the committee are now hard
at work on the new bill, which we pro
pose to report to the House as soon
as we can get it ready. We appreciate
the importance of our task, and the
pledges which the democratic party
has made to the people and there will
be no shirking of duty or of responsi
bility. Any suggestion to the con
trary is unworthy of consideration.

bill will go into effect has not been de
