Galveston, Sept. 17. Last Monday
gloom, desolation and despair prevailed
iu this storm torn city. Today hope and
determination have seized the people.
They realize that the tusk before them is
gigantic, yet with the generous aid that
is flowing to them iu a broad stream from
ull parts of the civilized world and thuir
own indomitable purpose the sick uud
wounded will be healed, the destitute
relieved, the recuperation of Galveston
will bo speedy, the city will be rebuilt
and plueed on u more enduring founda
tion and her commercial career started
anew. Such is the spirit displayed by
this grievously stricken people.
Looting and the deseerutiou of corpses
have ceased since the military have as
sumed charge of affairs, and they are co
operating harmoniously with the civil au
thorities. Sheriff Thomas is in charge of
the isolated district and is directing in
terments and the recovery of property
there. United States Marshal Grunt has
been given full uuthority by General
Scurry and is directing affairs on the
maiulaud, aided by u troop of rangers,
who are ordered to make short work of
looters and arrest all suspicious charac
ters. The rangers and the militia and
civil guards stationed at Texas City and
Virginia Point are under the direction of
Marshal Grant. Those are the two points
of ingress to the city. He also bus con
trol over all the railways running into
this city and ull craft plying between
Virginia Point and Texas City, and no
one can embark or disembark at these
places without his permission unless
having authority so to do from his su
perior officers. The destitute wishing to
go to friends in the country are given
free transportation und being sent out of
the city as rapidly as the limited trans
portation facilities at the disposal of the
committee on transportation will permit.
The owner of any water craft or railway
found guilty of charging more than the
regulation fare will be arrested and se
verely dealt with.
. Scurry Prevent# Extortion.
Much complaint has hitherto existed
about exorbitant charges by boats and
the roads running from Texas City. Tlds
has been cured by a stringent order from
General Scurry, who has been at work
diligently to properly adjust affairs so
that no deserving person shall be im
posed upon. With increase in force of
the Dallas Rough Riders and the Treze
vant Rifles, the latter company arriving
yesterday, General Scurry will be bet
ter able to meet the now conditions which
constantly develop.
The cleaning up and disinfecting of
streets, stores and buildings goes brave
ly on, and the sanltury condition of the
down town portion of the city has been
greatly improved. Mayor Jones bus stat
ed there would be no let up in the work
until the entire city is cleansed and dis
infected.
Dry goods stores and clothing houses
resemble great laundries, and every avail
able space is occupied with goods hung
up to dry. Fortunately the weather is
clear, hot and dry for this purpose.
Those merchants whoso stocks were but
slightly damaged have done a rushing
business, and so have the restaurants,
but their stocks aro very limited and
fresh meat difficult to obtain. Extor
tions are rare exceptions, although the
supply of food at hotels and restaurants
is limited. This will be remedied in a
few days.
Since all the railways terminating here
have united upon one bridge und are
pushing the work night and day with a
large force reconstructing it, while the
tracks are being restored on the island
and mainland by large forces, it is con
fidently asserted thiU Galveston will have
railroad .communiei flfon with the outer
world by Wednesday night. This will
greatly aid the relief work.
The injured and sick under the thor
ough system Inaugurated by the hoard
of health and local physicians, aided by
volunteers from outside, are receiving
every care and attention and doing as
well as could be expected under the cir
cumstances, which are being improved
daily.
C. N. Robinson, chief grain inspector,
lias received the following telegram from
Hammond &. Snyder of Baltimore:
"With great satisfaction we today
learned of your safety. Our exchange lias
raised over ss,ftK) in the interest of your
unfortunates. More to follow."
This firm shipped from here by the
Spanish steamer Ramon de Larrinara
for New Castle-ou-Tyne 200,000 bushels
of wheat. While lying at the wharf she
was caught in the storm, rode it out safe
ly and sailed immediately after its sub
sidence.
Nearly All Chnrclic# l)e#lrjed.
At the churches iu the city, either being
wrecked or ruined, with one or two ex
ceptions, divine services were in most
cases suspended yesterday. Mass was
celebrated at St. Mary's cathedral and
was largely attended. Father Kirwin
preached an eloquent and feeling ser
mon, in which he spoke of the awful ca
lamity that has befallen the people. Aft
er expressing sympathy with the affiict
pd and distressed he advised nil to go to
work in burying the dead. That was
their first duty. The next was to bring
the names of the widows and orphans to
the church, and they could rest assured
Df the unfortunates being cared for.
Bishop Gallagher is in receipt of a tel
egram from Archbishop Corrigan of New
York stating the diocese of that effy
would see that all Catholic orphan chil
dren sent to his care are kindly provided
for.
Today a census of the Catholic popula
tion will begin to ascertain the number
of widows and orphans caused by the
storm and the exact number of Catholics
that perished.
The grand lodge committee of the I. O.
O. F. was here yesterday and organized
local relief committees to look after and
care for the sick and destitute of that
order.
The keeper of the life saving station
at the western extremity of the island
came in yesterday. He reports the stu
tion gone aud that a frightful scene of
desolation exists there. lie reports that
180 bodies were buried there, that the
prairie and marshes are strewn with the
enrcasses of uniinals and reptiles and
that the stench is stiijutf•
PROBLEM IN FISH.
How Did the Nile Specie# Get Into
the Jordan f
It has been for some time known
that certain fishes of the Nile and
East African rivers live In the Jordan
and sea of Galilee, says the Loudon
Standard. Such facts are not easily
explained, for these are not fishes that
can fly or travel over land. The sur
vival of these old world forms may
perhaps be accounted for by remem
bering that in all probability Africa Is
a very ancient continent. It has no
doubt experienced some changes. The
sea may have had access to the basin
of Tanganyika, and a considerable por
tion of the north may have been sub
merged since the chalk of our English
downs was deposited. Still, even In
those days, a very large mass of land
must have been above water. The
singular paths followed by the great
African streams—the Orange river go
ing one way, the Zambezi another, the
Kongo and the Niger each sweeping
over so great an area In strange and
gigantic curves—seem to suggest that
in remote ages the continent was built
up by the gradual shallowing of the sea
beds between large Insular masses of
laud. The presence of these fishes In
the Jordan and the upper Nile—and it
Is by no means the only piece of evi
dence pointing in the same direction
shows that these two rivers must once
have been either confluent or in easy
communication by the Instrumentality
of other streams.
llow that could come to pass, as Dr.
Gregory shows in his book on the
Great Rift valley, Is not easily settled.
Probably when it occurred there was
no Dead sea, but the Jordan flowed in
to the gulf of Akabali, and perhaps
even the Red sea may have been dry
land. That for a time this sea and the
Mediterranean were in communication
and Africa was an island is certain, so
an upward movement may in its turn
have brought about an opposite re
sult.
fonta llicu llounrinry Decided.
Washington, Sept. 17.—The minister
of Costa Rica at Washington, Senor
Calvo, has received a cablegram from
the minister of Costa Rica at Paris
which conveys the information that the
president of the French republic, M.
Loubet, who was the arbitrator appoint
ed to decide the boundary question be
tween Costa Rica and Colombia, by his
award has fixed the boundary limit be
tween the two countries in the Atlantic
side at Mona Point (or Point Carreta)
and in the Pacific side at Punta Rurica.
The republic of Colombia claimed that
the limit should be fixed at Cape Gra
cias-a-Dios, iu the Atlantic, including
the whole of Costa Rica and Nicaragua
Atlantic coast, and that the limit on the
Pacific side should be placed at Iloruca
river, to the northwest of Golfo Dulce,
which would have given Colombia a
right to half the territory of Costa Rica
and ahout two-thirds of that of Nicara
gua. The award fixes the boundary line
in the Pacific side at Punta Rurica, as
claimed by Costa Rica, and in the At
lantic denies the right of Colombia to
any part of the territory of Nicaragua
or any portion of that of Costa Rica be
yond Mona Point.
Schooner Axhore In Storm.
Atlantic City, N J., Sept. 17.—1n the
heavy wind and rain storm which set in
on the coast Saturday evening the
schooner Willie went ashore on the
southerly end of Egg Harbor shoals,
north of Brigantine inlet. On board were
Captain Oriuf Anderson. John Farrell,
John Olson and Gustav Anderson. They
left New York Friday on a fishing cruise.
The schooner drove hard on the shoals
before the heavy northeast blow, ami ef
forts to get her off proved fruitless. A
high sea was running and steadily grew
more dangerous toward morning, when
the wind veered and blew a gale from
the southeast. The schooner wus pound
ing heavily, and the seas were breaking
over her when daylight discovered her to
the Little Reach life saving station. The
crew put off and with great difficulty
brought the men ashore in an exhausted
condition. The life saving crew returned
to the vessel when the storm had abated,
and they succeeded in floating her.
Growth of Labor 1/nloim.
Albany, Sept. 17.—The quarterly bulle
tin of the state bureau of labor statistics
issued for the quarter ended June HO
shows an increase of 151 unions, the
largest quarterly increase yet recorded.
The gain in membership was 15,000. At
the close of the quarter there were 1,00/ i
labor organizations in the state with an
aggregate membership of 247,002. The
number of organized working women
was 10,702, which is an increase of 40
per cent within the past year. Owing to
extended stoppages of work caused by
strikes for higher wages and by the ad
vance in the price of building materials
the number of unemployed members of
labor organizations in the second quarter
exceeded the small number in the same
quarter last year.
Suit Agalnnt Flour Trust.
Minneapolis, Sept. 17. —A suit involv
ing .$1,500,000 has been filed in the Unit
ed States district court. It is the Central
Trust company of New York against the
United States Flour Milling company, in
corporated under the laws of the state
of New Jersey and doing business in va
rious parts of the country. The suit is
brought because of default of interest on
bonds.
Ooin I'mil'm Departure Authorized.
Lisbon, Sept. 17.—The Portuguese gov
ernment has telegraphed to the govern
or of Mozambique authorizing the de
parture of Mr. Ivruger for Europe. The
governor, however, must satisfy himself
that Mr. Krugcr is really going to Eu
rope. Meanwhile he is instructed to take
all precautions to safeguard the personal
security of Mr. Krugcr.
Actinium, n New Element.
Actinium is the name given a now
radio-active element of the iron group
discovered by A. Deblerne In pitch
blende. The substance has now been
sufficiently concentrated to show that
its rays have the same effect on barium
platinocyanidc, photograph plates and
a magnetic field as those of radium and
polonium, while it is evidently distinct
from those elements.

JEDDO MEETING EAST NIGHT.
The determination to close down
Markle & Co.'s mines was shown last
evening by holding a mass meeting at
Jeddo. Organizer James delivered an
other speech, advocating unity of action
throughout the region. He was follow
ed by National President John Mitchell,
who had just arrived from Indianapolis.
Both speakers were given ovations by
the hundreds of miners, and the men
lustily responded to their appeals to
strike today.
OFFERED TO ARBITRATE.
A conference, at which Father Philips,
of St. Gabriel's church, Ilazleton; John
Markle, of the firm of G. 11. Markle &
Co., Superintendent W. H. Smith and
Alvan Markle, of the same firm, were
present, was held yesterday afternoon at
Ilazleton for the purpose of discussing
the proposition of Father Phillips that
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, act
as mediator between the operators and
the men and for the benefit of the public
generally in the settlement of the trouble.
John Markle agreed that If his reply
to the grievances presented after Fri
day evening's meeting is not satisfactory
to the men, that ho will submit the
questions to arbitration.
FRIDAY NIGHT AT JEDDO.
Sevoral hundred miners representing
the employes of G. B. Markle & Co., at
Ebervale, Jeddo and Highland, mot at
the Jeddo school house Friday nigiit
and decided not to strike, unless a list
of their own grievances which was
drawn up at the meeting and which will
be submitted to John Markle, are not
granted. Mr. Markle is to have ten
days to consider the grievances.
They ask for the enforcement of the
! semi-monthly pay law; ten hours' pay
for ton hours' work; that men engaged
in the robbing of pillars be paid for
dead work; that when the slope is
clear and men present themselves at
the bottom to be hoisted to the surface,
a car be provided so as not to oblige
them to wait until tho bottom gets
ready; that powder bo reduced to as
low a price as possiblo; that tho com
pany provide a tool car in the morning
and evening to take all tools up and
down tho slope; that tho men receiving
51.75 at present get an increase of 5
per cent and those below 31.75 an in
crease of 10 per cent.
An arbitration agreement exists be
tween this company and its employes.
Organizer James, of Jeanesvillc, was
present and after the meeting was over
ho addressed tho miners. In a statement
issued later, ho said: "The meeting
was called at tho instigation of Markle
& Co. Thomas, the man elected chair
man, was recently granted ifn assistant
mine forouianship certificate and is now
seeking a position of that kind. The
chief spokesman, Mr. Ilenshaw, is the
father of a mine boss, which proves that
the meeting was called by the company
and not by tho men. Everything was
afranged beforehand."
NUMBER OF MEN INVOLVED.
The mine employes In the anthracite
region number about .145,000. The
membership of the union Is not known
to a certainty, but the leaders claim
that 80 per cent of the miners are
organized. The coal basin is dis
tributed throughout several counties,
the most Important of these workings
being located In Luzerne, Lackawanna,
Schuylkill, Carbon and Northumber
land counties. The union districts are
known as No. 1, comprising upper Lu
erne and Lackawanna; No. 7, compris
ing the Lehigh region and the upper
Schuylkill region, and No. 9, comprising
Shamokin and a portion of tho Schuyl
kill region.
In the mines in the Lackawanna and
Wyoming valley districts 80,000 men
and boys are employed. There are 15,000
employes In mines in the Lehigh region;
20,000 at Mahanoy City and Shenan
doah, and 23,000 around Shamokin,
Pottsville and Mt. Carrael.
YESTERDAY AT WILKEBBARRK.
Wllkoshnrre, Sept. 17.—Final meetings
of the United Mine Workers <>f this re
gion before the great coal strike were
held yesterday afternoon, and miners
who had not joined the union enrolled
their names at the "locals." They want
protection even though they do not desire
a strike, and this is the one way of get
ting it. The organization is now almost
solid all the way from Forest City to
Shickshinny. which district comprises the
cities of Seranton, Onrhondale, Wilkes
barre and Pittston and the lug towns of
Dnnmore, Duryva. Avoca, Minooka,
West Pittston, Wyoming. Kingston,
Plains. Parsons, Miners' Si ills. Ashley,
Nanticoke, Plymouth and Edwardsville.
Some doubt was felt regarding the feeling
of tho Pennsylvania Coal company at
Pittston, hut their feeling was expressed
yesterday, when almost in a body they
joined the union. The leaders now re
port that, with the possible exception of
a couple of small individual collieries,
none of the mines in this big region will
attempt to work.
At the meetings held yesterday the*
speakers made a special point of counsel
ing the men against any outbreak, de
claring that it would result to the benefit
of tho companies, as the militia would be

present indications will bo tho greatest

one of the best and largest agricultural
and industrial exhibitions in the coun

tution for the farmers and mechanics,
but for tho horsemen and all lovers of
sport. Its races are always the most
exciting and hotly contested, as no
gambling of any kinds is permitted, the
best horse wins. This year over 810,000
Is paid for speed alone and the greatest
horses in tho country will be there.
The Midway will be unusually at
