THE STREET CAR STRIKE.
Eleven Hundred Strikers Paid OF and Dis
charged.

charged.
NEW YORK, August A.-The eleven
hundred employees of the Broadway and
Seventh Avenue Surface road, were paid
of to-day. Superintendent Newell, said
that since the men have refused to accept
the terms offered he will have nothing
more TO do with them. He has advertised
for new men. He expects to start out a
car this afternoon, Police Inspector Dilkes
with force of seventy men, is guarding
the stables. Early this morning fifteen
non-union men from the extra list of the
Third Avenue Surface road started for the
stables of the Broadway road to apply for
work. They were intercepted by the
strikers and assaulted and driven away.
Master workman James Z. Graham
fastened to the stables and ordered the
men to refrain from all violence. 1t is as
serted that the Company had violated their
agreement which was TO make each driver
and conductor run only five trips day.
The new schedule would make them run
six trips day, or about sixteen hours
work.
A meeting of the members of the local
assembly of car employees will be held to-
night The employees of the Belt Line left
work at q. m. They complain of dis
charges on frivolous pretexts and also in
creasing hours of work with reduction in
wages. The employees of the three roads
known as the Forty-second street lines,
onm nj N nt' n NOW tima table iSSue1 to-day
They claim that they will have to work ten
hours daily without eating or rest. A
strike will probably be ordered tonight.

Special Telegram 10 the REGISTER.
ST. CLAIRsvILLE, O., August pa few
politicalities of interest seem to have 80
far escaped getting into print, andasstraws
show which way the wind blows, we give
them to the REGISTER. At the recent
meeting of the Republican county COM
mittee, Smith Cunard, the regular nomi-
nee for Infirmary Director, had his name
taken off the ticket. All kind of induce
ments were offered him to make the fight,
but being a shrewd man and seeing the
handwriting on the wall, he deserted the
sinking craft before the climax came.
Hunts Chronicle the organ, came out a
week after this Committee meeting and al
though Barret McCOnaugheys name ap-
peared in the ticket instead of that of Mr.
Cunard, no line of explanation for the
change was printed. 1t seems they ex-
pected the party to know nothing of the
change, and why this secrecy. The answer
is that there is already too much division
in the G. o. p. and they do not want the
country folks to know it is widening.
Now comes A. II. Mitchell ESD, and
who shrewd politician tigurer and who
was elected Secretary of the County
Central Committee, but he wants none Of
it. He don't want to be responsible for the
defeat that is coming as surely as NOvem-

Reports of Great Damage to shipping
Coming in.
GALVESTON, Ten, August 24.-The re-
cent storm proved very destructive to small
vessels off the Texas coast, and it will
doubtless be months before the full list of
casualties are known. The slOOp Katie
J. went to pieces off Pelican Island.
The crew were saved. Lying
near her, bottom up, is the sloop Eliza
Her crew of two men are supposed to be
drowned. An unknown vessel is reported
bottom up at Red Fish bar. The schooner
Livonia Perkins is now lying bottom up iii
the bay near Pelican Island. Two of her
crew were lost. The schooner Lottic Mayo
is reported ashore near IndianOla. All
hands are
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN LOST.
The schooner Lake Austin is near her, but
! the crew of the latter were saved. All
the small craft in the bay from the ShOal
to Edwards Point, are reported to have
been lost. The schooner S. w. Perry
has gone TO pieces in the Gulf,
and her cargo of lumber, valued at
s., 600 is strewn along the beach for sever
al miles Her captain and cook were
drowned. The remainder of the crcwwcre
saved. 1t is roughly estimated that the
damage done to shipping in this vicinity
during the storm will approximate
$780, 900.
The village of Quinlana, at the mouth Of
BraZOs river, was entirely swept away and
the schOOners Rosa Lee and Nettie were
driven ashore. No lives are lost 50 far Us
is known.
A special to the NcrS from Victoria says:
Indianola is complete wreck, not
more than three or four houses hav-
ing escaped destruction by the heavy
storm which swept over the town
last Friday morning. DIR. Fisher, the
quarantine officer with his wife, NJ. Ma
hone, Capt. Adolph Stcrnbrook and Il ne
gro woman named Ellis had a narrow es-
cape from drowning. The quarantine sta
tion was washed away early Friday morn
ing and they were forced TO take refuge in
II large grove of Spanish ccdars
that grew near the quarantine hospital.
FOR NINE HOURS
they clung to these frail supports before
they were relieved. Nearly every house
on the upper end of the island was swept
away. Beattie Meade, negro woman, and
two children were drowned. No other
lives were reported lost. Nearly all the
sheep and cattle on the island were
drowned and the remainder will probably
perish for want of water. There is no pro-
vision on the Island except meat. None
of the survivors saved anything besides
what they had on, and much suffering will
enSue unless aid is ut once extended.
| Orders have been issued to remove the
office of the collector of customs at Saluria
district from IndianOla to Victoria, and the
! transfer will be made Immediately. The
bodies of Mrs. DR.. Hodges, her twin chill
dren, and her sister, Mrs. CrOcker, victims
of the sthrm at Indianola, were inferred
at CuerO on Sunday.
RELIEF MONEY.
| The Galveston City Council, at n meet
ing last evening appropriated $4,000 for
| the benefit of the storm sufferers of this
! city. Citizens have subscribed $1,000 for
the same purpose This will only afford
temporary relief, Us over 80 families were
rendered homeless and destitute by the

THIRD PARTY PRoHIBITIONIsTs
in Maine.
Concluding, he said:

Concluding, he said;
Democrats of course, with scarcely an
attempt ut concealment, regard the third
partv as their especial ally, and the coall-
tion is 50 evident that am sure no man
can be deceived in regard to the result
except him who desires to be deceived.
Every voter knows that he must choose
between the Republican and Democratic
parties-and every voter knows that in
ioining the Third Party he indirectly but
effectually throws his political and moral
influence in favor of the Democracy.
THE supporters of the Third party adopt
rs their shibboleth that ''the Republican
party must be killed." and they have Sc
cured the cooperation of the Democrat OF
the Free Trader, of the saloon proprlety, OF
all men who wish TO keep six millions OF
colored people in the South diSfranchiSed
and oppressed. 1t is an inSincere coalition,
an unhallowed partnership, an unholy al
lance. Against it the Republican party
of Maine presents its uniform support of
Prohibition, its splendid record of deVo-
tion to the protection of American labor,
its long and patient effort in behalf of those
who are dOwn-trOdden and deprived OF
natural rights. The Republican party has
always fought its battles single handed,
against great odds, and now with principle
untarnished and courage undaunted 1t will
again triumph over the combined force OF
all its foes.
