whether carried away in the rush of
the Yellowstone or across the prairie
to some Indian hiding place, they had
little hope OF seeing again. There
was more volunteers than were needed
for the searching parties as soon as
Tom asked for them, and with the last
one to set out Tom went himself, after
sharp struggle between his restless
desire to do something toward finding
his boy and his sense that he was leav-
ing Mabel to bear the heaviest burden
Of suspense alone. It was she who
sent him away in the end.
Before midnight they were all gone,
and she was left to wear through the
long hours OF waiting in the rooms
where all Trottie' life had been spent,
and where every chair and table grew
precious to her in that long watching.

with the dumb force OF everyday as
ISOLATION with him, that it was i'm
possible he could be really gone for
ever.
All that night and the next day she
lived through her suspense as women
live through such agonies. Sometimes
on her knees, sometimes pacing up and
down, answering when she was spoken
to, and eating and drinking when told
to do so by the friends who took it in
turn not to leave her alone. But
whatever she did, her whole heart, he1

a prayer as most OF US make in oul

The Texas Calamity.

Advices from the towns on the coast of Texas
inundated during the great storm few days
ago show that the calamity is even worse than
first reported. Measures for the relief of the
distressed are being actively pushed at Hous-
ton, Galveston and other cities. Members OF
the local committee say the calamity grows
with each hour. All tidings from the devas-
tated region make the disaster far greater and
more distressing than was at first thought pos
sible. Mr.. Iasker, Of the committee, was one
Of the thousand or more who fed for their lives

recently visited the drought-stricken districts
of Northwest Texas, but declares that neither
OF these calamities compares in point of suffer
ing and distress with what he witnessed at
Sabine Pass and Johnsons Bayou. The Mayor
Of Orange telegraphed the Mayor Of Fulton
asking for assistance TO care for the survivors
who are crowding into that place. The City
Council appropriated $500.
A dispatch from Orange says: 1.-THE steamer
Lamar returned here last evening from Sabine
Pass with 60 additional sufferers, one-half Of
whom will 20 TO Beaumontas soon as transpor-
tation can be obtained. The balance will re-

tees Ten additional bodies had been found up
10 noon yesterday. The relief committees Of
Orange have exhausted all their supplies and
funds. The sufferers are constantly coming in.
The relief committees have $50 now in their
charge, and 80 more were expected last night
from Johnsons Bayou. Unless more relief
comes immediately great distress will prevail.
Many Of the sufferers are sick. The relief
committees were notified yesterday that 81 900
had been donated by Houston, which is all the
aid that has been received outside of our town.

There is great CONSERVATION in Louisiana
over reports of deaths from yellow fever, OF a
disease closely resembling it, at Biloxi, Miss.
The State Board Of Health held a meeting at
New Orleans, at which very conflicting state
ments were made regarding the matter. Dr.
Walker made the alarming statement, rs COM
ing from people from Biloxi, that nearly every
family there had cases of fever He was told
that in all there had been 275 cases; that for
the past two weeks people were being buried
al night, and that in the daytime the bodies
were laid away surreptitiously. A resolution
was adopted and ordered forwarded TO the aa-
thorities Of Harrison County, Miss, in which
Biloxi is situated, reciting the alarm at New
Orleans over the reports which had been re-
ceiyed, aud continuing: "You are hereby re.
specially notified that from and after this date
no person, baggage or freight will be permitted
by rail or otherwise TO enter this State from
Harrison County, Miss, pending a thorough
and satisfactory investigation of the truth as tC
the prevalence of fever in or about Biloxi"

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, dated Oct. 10.
says: For the first time Atlanta is today a
complete prohibition city, and not drop OF
any intoxicating drink can be legally sold
within It's limits, and from this time begins the
real test Of prohibition. All the bar-rooms
closed on July last, but several wholesale H.
censes held over. They have been expiring
gradually until to-day, when there was only
one in the city, and that would have expired
six days from now, but by decision of the Su.
prcme Court of the State to-day that store was
closed, which shuts the last place. Two weeks
ago the city council passed "A resolution allow.
ing the city brewery 10 deliver beer in the CITY
10 residences on order Mayor Hillyer last
9ight vetoed the measure, which now makes
the city absolutely prohibition. The city au.
thorities are mostly prohibitionists and the law
will be rigidly enforced. Prohibition will have
fair trial from now until at least November, d
year hence"

Government Telegraphs.

AT the National Congress of knights Of Labor
in Richmond, Va, the following resolution was
adopted: THAT the organized power of the
order of Knights of Labor be directed in de-
handing at the hands of Congress the passage
of measure recommending the purchase,
under the right Of eminent domain, of the
telegraph system of the country. That it is
the duty of all to assist in nominating and sup
porting with their votes only such candidates
as will pledge their support to such measure,
and that special instructions be issued to the
Legislative Committee at Washington to agitate
for such ownership and make Government
telegraphy one of the burning questions Of the
day"
In introducing the resolution Mr.. O'ReiIly
called attention to the fact that telegraph lines
in every country except the United States and
Canada are owned by the Government, and
claimed that ID was an absolute necessity here
that the telegraph system should be controlled
by the Government in the public interest.

THE SIGNAL SERVICE ACCOUNTS.
Second Controller Maynard has completed
the examination of the suspended accounts of
the Signal Service, and has dsallowed items TO
the amound of S1,0Sl, 500. These occur in the
accounts of Lieut.. Robert Craig, who succeeded
Capt Howgate; Capt. Samuel NJ. Mills and
Capt. i. b. Jones, disbursing officers of the Sig
nal Service. The alleged improper expendi-
lures extend back to 1850. The most important
items occur in theaccounts of Lieut.. Craig and
Capt. Mills, neither of whom were under bonds.
Capt. Jones, as Assistant Quartermaster-Gen-
eral, is a bonded officer. The trouble, Judge
Maynard says, grows out of tho purchase of
supplies, etc, in violation of the Army regula-
tions and the improper rendering of telegraph
accounts. Judge Maynard says they violated
the law in not purchasing by competition.
Supplies were purchased mostly from the same
parties, and the prices paid were two or three
times as much in some cases rs those now paid
for the same articles.

A Chicago special to the New York World
says that Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, the
Presidents sister has left the editorial chair Of
Literary Life, and that law suits for damages for
violation Of contract are TO follow. Elder, the
publisher, is reported TO have threatened, in the
event of Miss Cleveland bringing suit, TO make
public all of her private correspondence and
summon 10 the witness stand in defense
President Cleveland and all the members of the
Cleveland family. The trouble, it appears, was
caused by Miss Ceveland's demand for larger
share Of the financial profits of Literary Life,
which have risen from next TO nothing TO q
very handsome figure. The contract with
Miss Cleveland expired virtually in October.
1t was for five years but it was so drawn that
either party was at liberty 10 suggest mOdifiea-
tions of il at the end Of four months. The four
months expired Oct. /, and Miss Cleveland
wanted a larger interest, half in the publica-
ton and an increase Of about $500 per month in
her salary.

Congre,sman Nelson's Escape.

Following are the details of the narrow escape
from drowning of Congressman Knute Nelson,
of Minnesota: He was fishing in Lake Victoria
in boat by himself. Just after dusk, while
pulling in large piekerel, he tripped and fell
into the lake. He is powerful man and good
swimmer, but was so hampered by his clothing
that he could not regain his boat. He managed
to keep afoat, however, and shouted for help.
For long time his cries attracted no attention,
but man half a mile away finally heard them
and ran TO the lake. The boat had drifted to
the shore and the rescuer rOwed it out to the
middle Of the lake, finding Mr.. Nelson in an
insensible condition, butstill floating. He got
him to the shore as soon as possible. For sew
eral hours three physicians worked on Mr..
Nelson, and finally succeeded in snatching him
from the jaws Of death, but it was narrow
escaOe.

At the time we rounded the bend in the

and the Federal troops ceased firing and sprang
up on the fort to witness the
COMBAT BETWEEN THE GUNBoATs

said it was grand sight to behold Every
moment ii seemed as though the boats would
be blown out Of water. The dense smoke set
tied around them and nothing could be seen
but one continual sheet Of flame belching out
from the sides until we rounded to in front Of
Decatur and gave them parting salute from
our 30pound Parrots. Gen. Hood, finding he
could not make the crossing that night, fell
back and left US in our glory.

bells, when i saw flatbOat in the middle Of
the river filed with Johnnies, swimming their
horses alongside. l Immediately ordered the
QuartermaSter to report the same to the Cap
tain, and rushing down on the gun deck gave
orders to beat to quarters. Without waiting
for any further orders l opened on them with
The bow guns. By this time the Captain was in
the pilot house, and every man at his post.
The JOhnnies did not wait upon the order Of
their going, but went at once, regardless Of the
safety of their horses, their accouterments, or
even the transport that they had secured some
where to make the crossing with.
We FIRED A FEW SHELLS
from both broadside guns, ran past, rounded
to, and made landing ON the north shore.
Every available man was ordered ashore. The
shore party was placed in my charge and
ordered to drive the rebels back and hold them
in check until the men remaining secured the
plumber that they had left behind them.
When the property had been secured the Cap
tain signaled all hands aboard, when we fell
back and reported to the Captain all present.
We found they had succeeded in getting 80

deck, and on the quarter deck were piled up
some 500 saddles, 300 carbines, and about 100
revolvers. 1t was amusing when we came to

RAINFALL on A ROOF.

When the shaTpshOoters opened on us orders
came laundering down the speaking tube TO
shift starbOard guns aud open fire. About three
miles above Decatur there is bend in the
river, and before we reached that point there
was only an occasional shot from the rebel ar
tillery, but as soon as we reached the bend the
rebel batteries opened out on US in great style.
Instead Of hugging the north shore as the
rebels expected we would do, our brave COM
mander ordered the pilots Mr.. Johnson and
Mr. Collins. TO hug the south shore as closely as
possible, directly under their guns, which
proved our salvation and prevented us from
being blown out Of water as predicted by
Capt. Naylor, as the enemy's guns were all
ranged and shell fixed for longer range, con-
sequently all their shots from the batteries
stationed on the bank passed over US without
doing any damage. Had ID not been for the
batteries at the waters edge we would probably
have passed without receiving shot As it was,
the General Thomas only received five shots all
told. One passed through the powder maya
zine. Another struck just abaft the larboard
wheel house, striking stanchion at the maya
zine-hatch, knocking il over and wOunding the
