OLD OCEAN ON A BENDER
Staten Island Submerged by the
Highest Tides Seen in Years.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The highest tides
seen on Staten island for thirty years washed
the north and south shores at O'Clock this
morning. The surf broke over the Stapletou
flats flooding the railroad track, and doing
great deal of damage. The greater part OF
the old stapleton ferry pier was carried away.
Many small crafts swamped at their moor
ings. At South Beach the tide broke oveI
the banks, flooding the meadows and the sea
broke around the many hotels, cutting them
off from the main land. Several bath houses
were washed into the sea. AT Leocher &
Stalls hotel, the surf flooded the bar-room
and the verandas doing considerable
damage. The floating houses of the
New York club. containing canoes worth
thousands of dollars is in danger of being
swept out 10 sea- a portion of the dock TO
which it is moored having already been car
ried away. The ferry boats experienced con-
siderable trouble in making their landings,
and the captains say it was one of the rough
est days in many years on the Staten island
ferry. A large fleet of vesselsis anchored OFF
Stapleton, and many of them were compelled
to drop an extra anchor to save themselves
from going ashore.
At about the time the shock was felt here
an extensive cave-in took place at Plymouth.
three miles from here At 11:30 this eyen-
ing it is reported from there that five acres
or more of the Delaware and Hudson mine
surface had gone down. There was no one
at work at the time.z

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
They Will Hold Their State Con-
ventiOn at Sioux City.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, To-, Sept. 1O-The Democratic
state convention will convene here on the
18th inst, but as yet there has been little
said as to who the candidates shall be. For
the gubernatorial nomination q number of
names have been mentioned, but each has
been dropped when it become known that
the party mentioned could not or would not
be candidate. The first and most favora-
bly-named was Peter A. Dey, at pres
ent a member OF the board of rail-
road commissioners and the first Democrat to
be elected to state office in number of
years. Mr.. Dey would make a popular candi-
date, but he and his friends recognize the
fact that he was elected to his present office
by votes drawn from an unpopular rival
and do not propose to let go the sure thing
for the uncertainty. Then there was talk of
rendering the honor to Judge John p Alli-
son, OF this city, who made good fight three
years ago against Congressman Struble, and
was only beaten because the district is so over
whelmlngly Republican, and after drawing
several hundred votes from the Republican
nominee, Judge Allison is q brainy man and
would do honor to any Office within the gift
of the people, but he declines because mis-
large private interests cannot be neglected.
Then there is ex-Congressman A. r. Ander-
son, of Sidney, who left the Republican fold
a few years ago. His name has been men,
toned, but tits evident that a man is wanted
whose democracy is more aged. Senator
Bolter, of Harrison county, and Mayor
Craig, who so handsomely beat John
n. Irwin for mayor of Keokuk are talked of.
Either would make strong candidate. But
it now looks as if the man most likely to be
nominated is Hon. Horace Boies, of Black
hawk county. He is an able man and already
has developed quite a following, his own
county having instructed its delegates for
him. For the other offices but little has been
said, but good men will be found who do
valiant battle and aid in swinging Iowa into
the Democratic column in the near future

and said something about making great
effort in their behalf at the coming ses-
sion. Two hours before he died his coll
ored servant, who had just come on from
Washington, went to the bed and Mrs Cox
asked her husband if she recognized him.
He looked at him and palted him on the
shoulder. The colored mans eyes filled with
tears, while all were deeply affected. In the
afternoon, while DR.. Lockwood was talking
to him, Mr.. Cox made some witty remark
which completely upset the doctors dignity.
Late in the afternoon kilograms were sent to
Mr.. Cox's three sisters, two of whom live in
GAINESVILLE, o., and the other in st. LOUIS.
Mr.. Cox's nephew, who is the superintend.
ent of the Smithsonian Institute, was also
telegraphed for. DR.. Lockwood said that the
immediate cause OF death was heart failure,
and the cause, peritonitis. Telegrams were
sent to Sergeant-at-Arms of the House Of
Representatives j. p. Leedom, and to Speaker
Carlisle.

the grounds. There wss hardly fakir but

whole week and leave a balance besides. The
superintendents and employees of the various
exhibition halls were in a state of continual
ferment on account of the many sightseers,

material and incompetent questions.
IN THIS CITY
at the union depot the same state of affairs
existed The ticket sellers could not sell
tickets enough. and the trains did not run
any too often to accommodate the anxious
visitors. The rotunda was filed with peo-
pie all day long, and there was a constant
stream of them coming and going. The
most interesting sight of all, however. was
witnessed in the evening at the Fair grounds,
on the departure of the masses for home.
Everybody seemed anxious to catch the first
train, seemingly afraid of getting left. The
consequence was that there was a rush like
unto tornado and jam that would out
rival the Taylor Falls log jam. Women hung
limp against their escorts. babies cried for
want of air and room to kick about. and men
stamped and swore because of others step
ping on their corns. A crowd is like a storm;
in time it will have spent its forces. 1t was
the same way in this case. One by one they
gradually filtered through the narrow open
ings of the gates. and finally all were safely
loaded on the trains and sped homeWard.

IN THE STORMS PATH.
Great Damage Done Along the
Hudson and Long Island Coast.

Hudson and Long Island Coast.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-Reports from the
Hudson show that the tide to-day was the
highest for many years. At Poughkeepsie
the water covered the docks for nearly one
hundred feet from the usual waters edge.
severe storm is raging along the river to-
night. The strong northeasterly gale and
high tides that have been prevailing for the
last two DAYS have caused great damage
along the coast of Long Island. At Rock
away Beach the tide reached an unparal
leled height to-day. Bathing houses were
washed away and the waves broke in
on the verandaS of the hotels. The short
stretch of railroad running between Rock
away Beach, Areverne and Far RockaWay
was submerged. A portion of it was under
mined and the trains had to be discontinued.
A bridge between Areverne and Rockaway
Beach was carried away. All the small
Islands in Jamaica bay were covered with
water. Scarcely anything could be seen of
Hog island to-day at high tide. All the
buildings on the island had been washed
away. Fire island ana Oak island were cut

ing over both islands. During the
afternoon it was rumOred that four cottages
on Oak island. occupied by families from
Babylon, had been carried away. An effort
was made to send boat from Babylon to the
assistance of the occupants of the cottages.
but the boat was beaten back by the wind
and tide At a late hour no definite new
had been received concerning their fate.
Sag harbor was flooded. The water covered
the Long Island railroad tracks and yard.
All the towns along the shore report more or
less damage. Small crafts anchored in the
harbors and bays were driven ashore, and
in some instances completely destroyed.
Telegraph and telephone wires are down all
over the island.
The storm which had been raging all day
continued during the night. The waves at
the battery swept over the sea wall into the
street. Never IN the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant had the tide ran so high. 1t crept
tonight to the level Of the street. At the
east end North river was most deserted, and
none of the smaller crafts have inclined to
venture out. The ferry boats had to make
their slips in the most careful manner for
fear of accidents, for tine water in many
places being up over the landing places.
High tide created sad havoc in the cellars
along both river fronts, as much nine feet
of water being reported in some OF them be-
fore the tide fell.

greatest apprehensiOns are felt concerning
the tide, which shall reach it's highest to-
night. The horse car railway in front of the
city was broken to pieces, and part OF 1t has
gone out to sea. Mrs. Kearney's cottage,
which is now occupied by its owner, the
widow of the late hero. Phil Kearney, and

meadow east of the city was a sea which

Athletic park there was four feet of water,
and at the entrance gate it was two and a
half feet deep. About 300 feet of the

west end of their land, is completely de-

AN OCEAN OF FIRE,
The Towns of Georgetown and
Southern Cross in Danger.

Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. 10-Green Majors, a,
prominent mining man, returned from Deer
Lodge county tonight and reports that the
country in the vicinity of the town Of
Georgetown is one mass of flames. The fire
was started by tramps in Georgetown flats,
which were covered with tall, dry grass.
People from Georgetown, the Red Lion mine,
Cable and Southern Cross districts are taking
turns at fighting the fire, but are unable to
check its rapid progress. The fire ran from
the tall grass of the fats into the thickly
timbered section between Georgetown and
Southern Cross, and as there is considerable
valuable property in the vicinity of the latter
place, desperate effort is being made to stay
the progress of the flames At Cable not
much danger is anticipated as considerable
timber has been cut from the immediate vi
cinity of the town.
