A Terrible Wind-StOrm.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October 23.-
A tempestuous gale, unprecedented,
in severity, swept over this city this
morning, commencing about 2:3O,
reaching its height between 6 and 1880,
and subsidng with a heavy rainfall to-
wards 9 o'clock. During these brief
morning hours incalculable damage
was done by the wind, which ragged
with the fury of hurricane. Not in
many years, if ever before, has there
been SO much damage done in the
streets, public squares, and slong the
river fronts.
Over forty churches are more or less
damaged. Many public school build
Jugs are damaged, and the public
squares devastated
ALBANY, n. Y, October ga
terrific gale of wind passed over the city
about noon, unroofng churches, stores
and dwellings, prostrating telegraph
wires, and uprootlng trees. The amount
of damage has not been ascertained,
but 1t Is quite heavy.
WASHINGTON, October ga
heavy rainstorm, accompanied by vio-
lent wind, passed over this city last
night, unroo6ng houses, nprooting trees,
and doing other damage. The Signal
Office received only twenty of the
usual l2O reports from various signal
| stations
BALTIMORE, Md October 23.-In
elevated sections of the city the wind
blew a hurricane, aud many dwellings
were unroofed,a few prostrated, and
new structures seriouly damaged In
the suburbs and parks large trees we're
uprooted and fencing and outbuildings
Frustrated for miles. The schooner
Mary Tice, with coal, Captain Robert
Tallock, sunk in gale off Baltimore
harbor. In trying to get yawl- boat
ready for use Captain Tallock was
drowned, aud the steward, George Lee,
went down with the schooner. The
rest, Jerry Lynch and Austin Abrams,
clung to the rigging five hours, and
were rescued.
The wind was steady from the north
east. but changed to the east, and grad
ual'y backed to west and northwest.
The highest velocity attained was
thirty-six miles per hour.
The storm was general on the Allan
tic, beginning in the afternoon on the
North Carolina coast, and gradually
proceeding northward The storm cen
ter at midnight of Tuesday was off
Hatteras. Considerable damage was
done to telegraph lines, and it was not
until 5 pm. that telegraphic commun-
icatlon was renewed between the signal
officers in Washington and Baltimore,
and up to midnight no reports have
been received from Philadelphia or any
OF the coast stations north or south.

The st. Louis Crash.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo, October 22.-Com-
mercial circles here were fairly start
led to-day by the currency of rumor
to the effect that the prominent dry
goods honse Of Dodd, Brown & Co.
had failed to meet its engagements.
The firm is the largest in the city. and,
with the exception of two Chicago
houses, did the largest dry goods bust
nes in the West. The facts of the
failure, briefly summarized, are as fol-
lows: Dodd, Brown & Co, who did
business in large warehouse on the
corner of Fifth and St. Charles streets,
have done a large South and South
western business, and it was ir their
succeeding in directing the bulk of
the latter trade from Chicago that they
based their claims to being successful
rivals of the Garden City dry goods
men.
The firm commenced business in
1868, and was composed of Samuel n.
Dodd and James G. Brown. Mr.. Dodd
was formerly Of Baldwin & Dodd, who
had beeniin business on Main street
over fifteen years. Brown was of the
firm of Brown & Co., dealers in fancy
goods in this city for about the same
length of time. The active capital at
the Start was about s25O,OO0, of which
100000 was contributed as a special
capital by Fiske, knight & Go. The
special capital was withdrawn after the
death of Mr., Fiske, in 1873. They
pushed their trade, and attracted new
customers to St. Louis by giving more
liberal terms, both to prices and time,
than was customary among the older
houses. They have continued up to
this time to do a very large business,
and have increased their net capital
to over S500,OO0. During the year
1877 their sales amounted to over
100000. This year the sales would
probably have largely exceeded that
amount, and have approached close to
s6,OOO,000. Of late some of their
customers have been paying very slowly
and this was especially the case with
their Texas trade, their present troub-
lie being, it is claimed, directly due to
the failure Of their Lone Star State
customers to pay up. II is thought
the liabilities will reach nearly 81 ,500,-
900, the greater part of which is due
in New York.

Great Tempests.

The mysterious lights in the Gulf
and the Lower St. Lawrence, which
are firmly believed by the fishermen to
to be warning of great tempests, have,
according to the Montreal Herald,
been unusually brilliant this season
1t is said to be a fact established by
the experience Of a century that when
these lights blaze brightly in the Snm-
mer nights the Fall is invariable mark.
ed by great storms. They give the
appearance to spectators on the shore
of ship on fire. The heavens behind
are bright, and the clouds above sill
vered by the reflection. The sea for
half mile is covered with sheen, as
if phosphorus. TIE fire Use If seems to
consist of blue and yellow flames, now
dancing high above the water and then
fickering, pallng and dying out. only
to spring up again with fresh brillian
cy, If boat approaches, it fits away,
moving farther out, and is pursued in
vain. The lights are plainly visible
from the shore from midnight until 2
in the mornining. They appear to
come from the sea shoreward, and at
dawn retire gradually and are lost in
the morning mist. Parads, the
French pilot, who took charge of the
British fleet under Admiral Sir Hoven-
den Walker when it sailed up the St.
Lawrence from Boston to seize Quebec,
in I'LL, declared he saw one of these
lights before that armada was shatter-
ed by a dreadful gale an the 22d of
August. The light, he said, danced
before his vessel all the way up the
gulf. Every great wreck that has
taken place since Sir Hovenden Wal
ker's calamity has been proceeded, if
tradition is to be believed, by these
mysterious lights-or rather they have
warned the mariner Of the fatal storm
When the guilt gives up its dead there
will be vast muster. Ia 1897 the
French warship La Tribune was lost
with 300 souls. In 1906 the British
transport Naoas went down withlSO0.
In 1881 the emigrant ship Lady Sher-
brooke, from Derry to Quebec, was
lost, only thirty-two out of 273 passen-
gers being saved. In l847 nearly 300
Irish emigrants were lost with a brig
Carrick, 24O more the Exmouth. By
the wreck of the Hungarian 225 souls
perished on the 10Th Of FEBRUARY, 1860;
thirty five By the loss of the Canadian
on the forth Of June, and 237 when
the Anglo-Saxon was lost off Cape
Race on the 27 of April, 1868. Fish
ing boats and coasters innumerable
have also gone down with all hands,
leaving no sign. This Fall if the
lights are to be believed, and the gulf
fishermen say they cannot lie, storms
of unexampled ferceness will.rage
from the Autumnal equinox until the
Winter is past.

A Flying FOur-fOoter.

Somewhere down in the wilds of Jersey,
if jersey has any wilds, these present Gen.
tennial days, one McDaniels dwells, in all
the patriarchal comfort and dignity which
attach to the English Lord of the Manor.
He has park, stately mansion, groves of
timber, and above ALI the most famous
racing stables in America. These royal
establishments contain some of the finest
and feetest horses in the world. Among
them is Harry Basset, a monarch of the
truf who some time ago met with an acci-
dent to one of his slender and priceless limbs.
Without wasting moment in doubtful
experiments, Mr.. McDaniels applied some

The situation in European Turkey
seems to be again assuming threaten
ing aspect. Russia, instead of with.
drawing her troops from Roumalia, is
reported to be reinforcing them from
Bulgaria. A Russian army corps is
still ln position near Constan tinople,
and considerable force is at Adriano-
pie. In the meatime, the English feet
remains in the Dardanelles, keeping
watch of Russia's movements 10 the
rear of Constan,inople. The trouble
seems to, be that the Russian and Tur-
kish, Ambassadors cannot agree as re-
CARDS the defnitive treaty, and that
Russia cannot gain any positive assur-
ances from Turkey that the thousands
OF Christian refugees who are now
seeking the protection of Russia would
be secure from persecution and outrage
in the event iof the withdrawal of the
Russian forces from Roumelia and
Bulgaria. The Turkish Government
is apparently disposed to act deceitful-

"Hard Times and the Way Out.,'

Colonel Ingersoll delivered lecture
In Music Hall, Boston, to an immense
audience, on "Hard Times and the
Way Out" which was in effect grand
campaign speech, although delivered
from the lyceum rostrum. It is peeu-
liar y good reading. Colonel Ingersoll
has the power to treat the dryest sub
ject in most interesting manner. His
perception is so very clear that this
expression of ideas is vivid and exact.
In this connection We can only present
few of the more salient points.
In speaking of the limitations of law
and the absurdity of trying to create
wealth by stamping bits of paper, the
orator said:
When | can read cook-b book
through often enough to satisfy the
cravings of my appetite, then [ will
join the fat money party. Money, no
matter what the substance is, it is made
Of has never been other than creation
of nature. When shells were money,
nobody could write on piece of paper:
"This is ten shells" and pass it off to
any barbarian that ever lived. Again,
who will get this money after it is
issued? Somebody that has got some
thing to give for it The shrewd
and industrious will soon have it all.
Money gravitates towards money. A
single dollar in the pocket poverty
tells lonesome. They say this money
will not be boarded like gold. Well,
[ don't believe it will. They say it
will not fuctuate like gold. Well, [
don't believe it will. 1t will start out
valueless, and will never know fuc-
tuation. We must pay our promises
in the money of the world. and pre-
serve the honor of the United States.
/ want greenbacks to be just as good IS
coin. A great nation cannot afford to
have its money below par. We have
made great many foolish promises,
but the best way to get out of foolish
promise is to keep it. There is another
cry, and frighttul one, I think. We
won't pay the bonds, they say. because
they were bought at 35 cents on the
dollar. But the Government had to
sell these bonds to put down the re-
bellion and it had to sell them for what
they were worth. Every man that
passed greenback for 35 cents COM
mitted the same "crime' that the
bondholders did. Further, these bonds
have changed hands manv times since;
some of them are owned by soldiers,
widows, and the man who would repu-
diate them is unspeakably cruel, and.
| think, dishonest. Immediately we
repudiate single bond, our flag be-
comes rag

GETTING SCARED. There was
commotion in the Democratic Cam
last Monday. The Democratic Coun
ty Committee held a meeting to con
slider the propriety of taking j. K
Ryder's name off the ticket. The
Committee were scared about the break
that is going on among the Germans
in the north part of the county, in
consequence of the insult to them in
the remark of Mr. Ryder some time
ago, that he had San old mare 2l years
old that is more fit to vote than any
damned dutchman in town, and knows
id sight more" That he made
this remark is attested by the affidavit
of one of the best citizens in Waterloo,
before Peter Janisch, Justice of the
Peace in that village.
The committee finally decided to
leave him on the ticket, for to drop
him now would be to confess the GER
tainty of his defeat.-Jef: Go. Union,

A convention Of railroad officials
and Railroad Commissioners of various
States is to convene at Columbus, O.,
November IL. The object of the con-
vention is to act upon the suggestion
of Theophilus French, Auditor of the
new Government Railway Bureau at
Washington, that uniform system of
reports be adopted throughout the
country. Under the new law, forty
one railroads are required to report
to Auditor Freach. He will require
these reports to be made uniform, and
has already drafted questions and a
general form of report, which he will
present at this general convention, of
much Importance to the railroads of
the country. Some of the trunk rail-
roads now run through FIVE different
States and are required to prepare as
many different kinds of reports to the
State authorities.
