MAIL DELIVERED TO FARMS.
Organized Efforts Being Made to Extend
the Free Delivery Service.

the Free Delivery Service.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20..-An organized
effort is under way among the farmers
to secure from congress free mail dellv-
cry in country towns. The Farmers
Alliance, Patrons of Husbandry and
other orders are canvassing the matter.
Letters have been written to congress
men in favor of the project and peti'
tons to congress for free delivery are
being circulated in many parts OF the
country. Farmers assert that a
daily mail delivery at their door will
add perceptibly to the money value OF
their farms and will be worth still more
because it will keep them in touch with
markets and the outside world and rid
life of its isolation and monotony. The
farmers are writing to the agricultural
press that this convenience would enable
them quite generally to take daily
paper as we'll as to subscribe for the
local papers more literally.
In the American Agriculturist for
November Postmaster General Wanna
maker states definitely for the first time
that the experiment made by the post
office department for free delivery in
farming districts shows that the in
crease of revenue more than pays in
creased, expense. He believes that uni
versal free delivery would therefore be
self-Sustaining.

THE ATLANTIC STORM.
GREAT DAMAGE STILL BEING DONE
ON THE LONG ISLAND COAST.

Many Pleasure Crafts Missing Since, Sun
day-Twenty Men in Small Boats Sup
posed to Have Been Lost-A Schooner
Wrecked and Four Lives Lost.
NEW YORK, Oct. I4.-The fearful
storm which ragged in this vicinity since
Sunday has wrought immense damage
along the Long Island coast. At Rock
away waves nearly thirty feet high are
1ashing the beach, plowing far into the
sand and washing buildings and boats
out TO sea. Many pleasure crafts have
been missing since Sunday, and it is
feared they have been lost with all on
board George White, Alfred Kane,
Mark Thursby and Alden Little, of New
York, hired two boats Sunday for day S
fishing. They have not since been seen,
but one of the boats has been picked up,
land there is hardly doubt but that all
four have been drowned.
Sixteen Probably Drowned.
At Hollands station, on Rocks"-ay
beach, seven boats were let out on Sun
day. They carried sixteen men. None
of them have since been seen and it is
thought the storm carried them out to
sea. As the water outside the inlet
ragged mountains high, so that small
boat could scarcely live minute in it,
the sixteen men were PROBABLY drowned.
A two masted schooner sailed by Jams
Moore and having crew of three men,
put out from Canarsie, Sunday after
noon. She was loaded with coal and
bound for Baltimore. She was caught
in the storm and the three sailors were
swept off the deck while trying to make
sail. Moore clung to mast and was
saved, but only after drifting around for
over twenty-four hours and then at the
loss OF Julius Quay, life saver, who
went out to the vessel in breeches
buoy and was drowned. Moore was
finally rescued. He is believed to be
insane from his awful experience as he
talks in an incoherent way and con-
stantly begs to be taken back to the

THE WHEAT WILL BE SAVED.

Threshing May Continue Until January,
But There Will BE Little Loss.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 19.-The Sunday Globe
published a series of letters about the
North Dakota wheat crop, written by
farmers, merchants, threshers and 9th
ers, of which the following is concise
summary:
The North Dakota wheat crop will not
be lost, nor will it be damaged by the
wet weather to the extent reported.
That part of it yet unthreshed may lose
a grade on account of bad weather, but
this will only be the case where the
wheat was poorly shocked. All that
was well shocked or properly stacked
will be turned out in good shape The
change in the weather has started
threshing all along the line again, and
while it may take until near the first of
January to complete the work of sepa-
rating the grain from the straw, it will
all be done.

erected for Mr.. Anton Reymann on the
northeast corner of Eoff and Fifteenth
streets. The contractors, who have

ing all summer, now have it finished,
with the exception of the interior work.
The house is constructed Of Lake Su-
perior red stone, from Marquette, Mich,
and presents substantial and elegant
appearance, as will be seen by the cut
above. The interior arrangement is
upon scale corresponding with the ex-
terror. The halls and rooms are large
and well lighted and ventilated, and are
admirably situated for the purposes to
which they will be devoted. Each room
is finished in q different kind Of hard

FARO BANKS RAIDED.
A Ripple of Excitement Among the Cams,
Last Night.

A Ripple of Excitement Among the Cams,
Last Night.
The half hour between half-past eight
and nine o'clock last evening was quite
lively in gambling circles.
About half-past the first-named hour
Officers Creighton, Wilkie and Moran
descended upon the faro bank run by
o. T. Morton in an upstairs back room
at Sullivan's saloon, on Market street,
below Fourteenth, and captured the
proprietor and seven players. All the
players, as well as the proprietor, gave
security and fictitious names, and were
released.
The news Of the raid spread like wild
fire along Market, Main, Twelfth, and
Water streets, and there was general
turning out'of lights and sknrrying
out of rooms occupied by poker and
faro players, while good many people
not usually seen upon the streets al
such an early hour in the evening were
to be seen promenading around in an
un concerned way.
Before the excitement reached its
climax, however, the officers got onto
the second floor OF No. 1855 Market
street, where Thomas Halpin runs a
faro game. Five arrests were made.
