Runaway During the Gale.

The oppressive heat which prevailed dur
ing the greater part OF the day Monday
was followed about o'clock by one OF the
most severe thunder storms and gales com
bined which this city has experienced in
some years. The storm was preceded by a
gale which struck the city with terrific force,
and for time it seemed as If a tornado was
about to spend its fury upon the place, and
Mt times it was almost impossible to distin-
guish objects a block distant, SO completely
was the air filled with swrls of dust. Over
100 dozen window screens piled to a consider
able height on the sidewalk in front of Leo e.
McLaren's store were blown over in an in
describable mass, but were soon taken in by
a large force of clerks before any damage
worthy of mention had boendone. The cleo
tric lights were affected in many
instances by the crossing of wires
and the uncertainty and fear were
increased on every side by the continual
tolling of the fire bell as a result of the dis
turbance of the line.
There were several narrow escapes on
the lake at this point. The yacht Nauti-
lus having on board besides the crew Rev.
Mr.. Hungerford and n number of ladies,
had rounded the north end of the break

The Way it Works.


In answer to the questions Of a cor
respondent who is dealer in glass,
the r ,ublican Chicago Tribune says:
As very other importer and dealer
in Ge- man bevel mirrors will advance
his pi ces to the extent of the increased
duty, you will be perfectly justified in
doing the same. The Mckinley bill
was reported to the House six months
ago, SO that all importers have had
ample time to put their business in
readiness for the changes in the price
of imported goods which it introduces,
and a profit will be made on all such
goods on hand when the act goes into
70 zee to-day. 1t is the consumers that
are hit and not the middlemen, who
can add the extra duty to the selling
price of the goods.

A Noted Outlaw Killed.

A dispatch to the New York Star,
dated Oct. 9th, says: Rube Burrows,
the noted outlaw and train robber,
who was captured yesterday and jailed
at Linden, Ala, was shot and killed
at daylight this morning by j. c..
Carter, one of his captors. Last night
Burrows was placed in the Sheriff s
Office, inside the Jail, under guard of a
man by the name of McDuffee, one of
his captors, and a negro named Carter.
The other captor was at the hotel with
the money found on Burrows person
when he was arrested.
The outlaws hands and feet were
tied, and every precaution taken to
prevent his getting away. Early this
morning he complained Of hunger.
McDuffee answered that he'd nothing
to eat. A pair of saddlebags which had
been taken from the prisoner, were ly-
ing in the room. Looking toward
them in careless sort of way, the
outlaw observed: 81 have some crack
ers in my saddlebags, if you will hand
them to me-" McDufee suspected
nothing and handed the saddIebags
over without opening them.
Burrows, instead of crackers, drew
forth pair of pistols, and covering
McDuffee and the negro, ordered them
to unite him, which they did, and
keeping them before him, he walked
out of the front door. He then asked
for his money, and started toward the
hutel to recover it Of Carter, who had
it. The latter, of course, was greatly
surprised to see Burrows, whom he
supposed was bound hand and foot in
jail. Burrows drew his revolver and
demanded the money. Both then
opened fire, and Burrows was killed,
while Carter received an ugly wound
in the breast. The affair has created
intense excitement. Carter is the hero
of the hour.
