that the steamer was of Trout Cove, about

seen Issuing from the steamer, and then fire
burst out at the place where the steamer
was supposed 10 be. Two captsins Of fishing
vessels saw the steamer and co-orroborated
the report of the light house keeper. II i,
thought by some that the boiler may have

the bay was calm and boats could have
reached the shore long before now. Evil
1entiy something has happened to the New

remained in the same place for hours. Many
persons having friends on board are almost
wild with suspense.

SABINE PASS.
1t is Now Reported that One Hundred
and One Persons are Missing since
the FlOOd-Only Six Houses Left in
the Village.
NEW YORK, Oct. Is.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.
A special dispatch says a relief boat has
returned to Beaumont from Sabine Pass
Only two houses are left in the latter place
One hundred and one persons are missing.
The relief train could not get within ~ miles
of the town but over dozen tow boats were
sent there and are at work saving life and
property There is considerable back water
vet at Sabine, hemmed in and held there by
the railroad embankment The most intense
excitement has prevailed here since the first
news of the fearful catastrophe. People
have neither eaten nor slept and crowds have
surrounded the wharves for train or boat
from the devastated town.
Twenty-Five of the committee were left at
Sabin Pass to make an attempt to recover
some of the bodies, many of which are re-
ported to have been washed dozens of miles
over into Louisiana, The extent of the
stormswept district is yet unknown. From
the reports brought bv the committee it is
certain that the flooded district embrace an
expanse of country many time larger than at
first supposed. The gulf seems to have
moved over the land for miles in one high
unbroken wall of water. The committee re-
port that one hundred and one persons are
missing, ninety of whom are known to have
been drowned. Thirty-ive of the victims
were white and ffry-f five colored. Ninety
one half clad, shivering wretched victims of
the storm were brought up on the Lamar.
The refugees are sick and prostrated from
exhaustion and hunger. They are being
tendery cared for by the citizens of Bean
mont Many persons in the vicinity of
Sabine Pass are utterly destitute, being with
ont clothing to cover their nakedness. DIR.
Calhoun requests all correspondents to ask
aid for the destitute. He saws il makes no
difference what is sent, whether food, cloth
ing, medicine or money, they need them all.
DR.. Calhoun is mayor of Beaumont and he
will distribute, through the committees,
whatever is sent to him. From all accounts
received words cannot exsggerate the state
of affairs at Sabine Pass. Out OF more than
$50 houses in the village less than six are
remaining standing and they are ruined.
The primary damage at Sabine, including
that to the government works, will aggregate
nearly $500, ,0Oo.>

JOINING STRIKERS.
ArmOur's Butchers Go Over TO the Ranks
of the Disaffected-fsarry Declares a
Decisive War Against Armour.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.
A morning paper prints an interview with
delegate Barry of the Knights of Labor, re-
garding the ordering out of Armours beef
men, in which Mr.. Barry says: We have
formally declared war on the big pork specu-
lator and it will be war to the knife and the
knife to the hilt. | shall get to Richmond
now before the convention adjourns and you
may depend upon it that Armours meats
throughout the United States will be an un-
known quantity in less than three months.
We intend to fight an aggressive battle, and
Armour with his millions, will either be
brought to terms, or be relegsted to the posi-
tion of a retired, if not bankrupt pork
packer.
The situation at the stock yards was fur
ther complicated this morning by the refusal
of 1900 beef butchers employed by Armour
to go to work. This long threatened strike
of the beef butchers was decided on at a
meeting last night. The Knight of Labor,
Barry, sent here from Richmond to try and
effect a settlement, says he is satisfied he
can do no good here, as the packers will not
treat with him, and he will leave for Rich
mond Immediately, to lay the case before the
Knights convention. The order for beef and
sheep killers to strike this morning was con-
| fined to the Armour establishment. The
| beef departments of other houses are run
ming as usual. This is taken as indicating
that the fight by the knights of Labor is be-
ing directed solely against Armour, and the
latter states it as his view that the General
Assembly of knights will not countenance
this move. Armour announces that he will
start up all branches as soon as a sufficient
number of workmen have been engaged, and
to this end is offering large inducements TO
men to enter his employ.

Personal Def1cieneies.

Some persons, who freely admit the i'm
portance of all pursuits that minister to
the idea Of utility, express only contempt
for those which supply the needs of inn.
agination, the cultivation of sentiment,
the production Of beauty, or the means
Of amusement. They really seem to
think that they are proving their intel
lectual depth or moral superiority by
Boosting of their utter indifference to
things that interest, cheer, and inspire
multitudes. One of the lord chancel-
lors of England declared in open court
that he would not go across the street to
hear Madame Catalani sing. Doubtless he
spoke the truth-and yet it was Il truth
which good sense should have taught him
to conceal rather as a personal deficiency
than to boast of. If he had been deaf he
nigh have asked for sympathy, but would
hardly have exulted in his misfortune,
and his inability to appreciate tones that
filed thousands with wonder and Iapt-
u1e could certainly entitle him to no other
sentiment than that of pity. So the an
warranted manner in which persons throw
contempt upon poetry, art, fiction, the
drama, simply because they lack the SEN
timents to which they respond, is merely
q proof of their own deficiency. Let
them modestly keep silence uponm matters
Of which they can only speak to expose
their ignorance.

How IhF yete in Germany.

A striking Nature of the German mu-
nicipal SYSTEM $ its entire independence
of national pdl les. No issue but those
arising out of nicipal questions are al
lowed to infE ace the city elections.
Every male inf bitant twenty-four years
of age has a rig t to vote on municipal
questions prov, led he has his own
household and IN not dependent upon
father or mother that he has not receiv-
ed aims from til public funds within
twelve years; THE has paid all NUM-
cipal dues; that occupies a house or
pursues a trade WA two employees; that
he pays an incoi tax o + a class tax.
Under one or anoth-1pf these five condi-
tions all industrious n, fsons are included.
That all votes shouiaan.count equally is
regarded as unbusinEbaAAli like. The ar
rangement adopted tonua this point of
view is this: Voters arte "s"aed into three
classes, each of which ~, one third Of
the city council. To the Srst class are
assigned SO many of the lar, lest tax pay
ers as pay one-third of the tt. les assessed ;
to the second SO many rs in a. ~regate pay
the second third Of the t;s'aS to the
third class belong all not im''shsd in the
first and second. Each of the1cH'e classes
elects forty-two members of %asstcil, its
influence upon questions of fiji pc being
kept in strict equality witY its tax
payments. The city council af Berlin
has long been conspicuous foP the educa-
tional and financial standing of its mem
bcrs. Election to it is accounted an
honor to which the ablest men of the
city aspire.

FEARLs OF RHOUGHE

He who pretends to be everybody's
particular friend is nobody's.
Children should salways be taught
reverence and respects Dor the aged.
Il is not what you lose, but what
you have daily to bear, that is hard.
just as a man enters upon knowl-
edge death slams the door in his face.
Better than he who wipes away a
tear is he who prevents it from start
ing.
Were every n to sweep before
his own house, every street would be
clean.
The rich are more envied by those
who have a little than by those who
have nothing.
When you are the anvil, have patti
ence; when you are the hammer. strike
straight and well.
Young folks tell what they do; old
ones what they have done; and fools
what they will do.
If you intend to do a mean thing
wait till tomorrow. If you are to do
a noble thing, do it now.
Consider how few things are worthy
Of anger, and you will wonder that
any but fools should be in wrath.
It does not require a long ~acquaint-
ance to take a dislike to people-we

LADIES
Cuban Girls,

The Cuban senorita is rather small,
quite plump, has raven black hair,
plenty of it. and large black eyes,
which she knows how to use. The
sexes attend different schools. From
Che fact that girls are SO strictly sepa-
rated from the boys at school and 9th
er public places, it follows that a dis
trust of the other sex is installed into
the youthful mind. No woman can
90 or the street al me; she must have
a scrawny female companion or two
or three servants. Even the lover
cannot see his dulcinea alone. He
must do his counting in the presence
Of one or more ancient ladies, who

preston of endearment. Occasional

corner and indulge in a little decor
