thousands Of willing workers suffering in

are la6oring for a mere pittance while tie

II HOW HERT HLM

Somebody has gone to the trouble Of
interviewing Senator Carey in New York
and that fatuous individual has seen fit to
express himself in the following manner
The so called free coinage craze IN the
west has been very largely exaggerated.
The great mass Of the clear headed and
conservative element is in favor Of giving
the present law a thorough trial, believing
that it will meet fully the business require
ments of the country. TIE western peo'
pie do not believe that the government
may place its stamp on a piece OF meta
and make it worth its face value.
The t~houghtiu. western business man
believes in sound money as much as his
brother IN the east, only the west believes
in a larger circulating medium.
What does this intellectual Fymnast
consider sound money! Isn't money
which the constitution Of the United
States specifically recognizes, that is gold
and silver coin, sound enough for him2
Under the articles of confederation the
silver dollar was adopted as the unit of
valre. The history OF the United States
shows tina, the weight Of pure silver in a
silver dollar has never been changed while
the weight Of pure gold in n gold dollar
has been changed twice. Still the silver
dollar isn't sound enough Tor this ias-
tidious senator who claims to represent
the United States instead OF Wyoming.
The Western people do not Lelieye
that the government NAV place ITS stamp
on a piece OF metal and make It worth its
face value. says this sipient senator.
How abont this much abused silver A
certain quantity Of It. through the skull
d~uRgcry Of speculation and the l%eRisla-
tive action OF Mr.. Carcy's poldolater
friends, is worth in the open market per
haps seventy cents. The government
puts its stamp upon i and prestol 1t
passes everywhere Tor a dollar. If the
self sufficient senator happened to have.
one of those self same silver dollars in his
pocket when he came to settle his hotel
bill in New York the cashier would ac-
ccpt it without question as a dollars
worth of offset to his board bill If he
didn't Carey would doubtless think, and
very reasonably, too, that The cashier was
Temporarily insane
The fact of the matter is that Carey
knows as much about silver, Judged from
its economic standpoint, as he does about
making good land laws, and his knowl
edge in either case is not sufficient to do
him severe bodily harm.

ALL IN THE FUTURE.
Nothing Definite About Settling
virginia's Debt.

RICHMOND, Juno 3.-lSpecial THE
Virginia debt commission and the Olcott
committee held another conference to-
DAY, after which they adjourned, sub
ject to the call of Governor Mckinney,
who is chairman of tho Virginia Com
mission. The result of the conference
may be summed up on the following
statement OF 4 prominent member of the
conference:
"We had a pleasant two DAYS session.
during which a crude plan for an ad-
justment of the debt was presented by
the Olcott committee. This was dis
cussed, but the great principles of tho
plan OF settlement have yet to be ag, ced
upon. Still, solution of the matter is
looked for at some future time.
These principles will have to he
cicariy marked and defined before minor
details of the plan Of settlement can be
discussed with any degree of success.
Inc Olcott con mittee were unouestion-
ably impressed with the fact that the
Virginia commission knew more about
the resources of the State and its ability
TO meet requirements, than it had been
CREDITED with.
The following was handed tie press
by the Virginia commission: "A dis
cussion of the subject has been held. but
no c Inclusion has been reached. Nogoti-
atoms arc still pending, with an evident
disposition on both Sides to reach
favorable conclusion. These. how
ever, are not in such condition that
details can, with prophet y at the pres
cnt time. be made public"

TRAIN wRECKtNG IN DAYLIGHT.
\ Eold Attempt in Sight of Dwellings and
ut Midday.

WATERBURY,, June 3.-lSpccial A
heavily loaded passenger train from
Hartford, on the New York and New
England road, was approaching this
city this noon at the rate OF about forty
miles an hour. Engineer James Multi
gan was at the throttle, and about half
milo from this city he saw something
on the track which at distance ne
took TO be 4 shadow,
Another train had passed on the rails
only twenty minutes ahead of him As
he drew near he was astonishcd to see
that tho track was blocked. On one
side was steep bank and on the other
was the Manhan reservoir and a deep
canal. He applied quickly the brakes,
and succeeded in bringing the train to a
standstill within Il few feet of the pile.
Investigation showed that it was a
deliberate attempt to wreck the train.
On the track were four heavy fish
plates coupling link and a railroad
tie, so arranged that no train could
have thrown them aside. The plan evil
IDENTIFY was 10 throw the train into TIE
river.
The Indignation OF the passengers
was increased when it was learned that
the work must have been dono after the
former train had passed and in broad
daylight within view of one or two
houses. Search failed to reveal any
ccw to the miscrcants.

THE STORM IN SALEM.
Several Houses Blown Down and Much
Damage Done.

Several Houses Blown Down and Much
Damage Done.
A very severe wind storm struck Salem
at ITO yesterday evening, swapping off
trec-tops all over the city and uprooting
some small trees. The tin roof of
Queens new, but unused, livery stable,
on Alabama street, was blown entirely
off, and part of the south brick wall of
the stable was also blown down.
Three new two-story houses on the
Development Company's land, across the
river, were blown down. The cornices
on the Bank of Salem building and Dun
can IL Cumpton's store were blown off.
This was the worst storm here for
twenty years Queens damage is 500,
and the Development Companys be-
tween 81 500 and So, 900.
The greatest loss was across the river
-Four Of tho Salem Development Com
pany's new and nearly completed houses
are down, two fiat upon the ground and
two others twisted around and leaning
at an angle CT almC st As Gegr es. These
four houses are on the last row of the
block of new houses belonging to the
Development Company. They cost be-
tween 81, 200 and 81, 200 each.
A large part of the tin roof of the
iiolstein Wooden Mills and the gable
end and cornice of the Pants Factory
are blown Off.
superintendent Worden estima tes the
loss at 900 on both buildings
DIR. Stearnes' new store back of Ma
homes store sustained the loss of the
tin roof and smashed glass front.
The long smoke stack OF the Salem
Furnace still stands erect, after the
storm, which shook it, monument to
the skill of its builder.
Part of the roof of Carper's store is
off, and cornices are off of, and some
damage done to, the roofs of the bank
building and Prof. Crabtree's store.
The wind set fire to the tent of a
camp of Gypsies or tramps near the
Development Company's bridge, con-
suming it.
The estimate loss must be, at a low
estimate, $4,000. or 81, 900.
The hurricane sprang up very sud
denly and unexpectedly, blowing, it
seemed, from the west. 1t was followed
in half an hour by rain of short dura-
ton from black cloud in tho north.
No injury to life is reported.
The wind at Christiansburg was
severe and blew down few trees.

The Storm in Ohio.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June s. Especial
"A violent wind and rain storm ragged
in this city this morning and was &C
companied by extraordinary electrical
disturbances. Lightning struck the
Hotel Wilmot and jumped from theme /,
to the trolley wire Of an electric street
railroad, severely shocking the occu-
pants OF passing car and throwing
several OF them in a heap toward one
end: The machinery OF the motor was
badly damaged.
The great volume of water that fell
covered the street car tracks in many
localities with washouts, and traffic was
temporarily impeded.
at Clyde, Ohio, hail stones fell that
measured nine inches in circumference.
a passenger coach on the Wheeling and
Lake Ere railroad had the windows n

A very severe wind storm swept over
Roanoke and vicinity yesterday even
ing about seven o'clock, playing havoc
with telegraph and telephone wires, be-
side doing other damage.
The Gas and Water Company is the
principle sufferer by the storm. The
largo new gas holder which this com
pany had recently erected was quite
badly damaged, but to what extent could
not be ascertained last night, owing to
the impenetrable darkness. AS far as
could be discovered the top lift was full
of gas and the guy ropes which support
1T broke, allowing tho lift to carecn to
one sido. OF course tho gas in this lift
escaped and as soon as the lift was
empty it apparently settled back on to
the holder, thus preventing 4 furthur
escape Of gas.
Manager RawA stated to TIMES
reporter that it would be impossible to
estimate the damage until daylight.
lie also stated that he thought about
5000 feet of gas had been lost.
AS far as could be learned the dam
age to property was not very great. In
a number of houses window pancs were
broken, blinds blown off the hinges
and sheds wrecked.
One of the large unfinished houses
that is being erected by Mrs. jackson,
on Center street above Park, was blown
over. Tho structure was totally de
molished. but most of the timbers can
be used again. The building was near
ing completion, but the windows and
doors were all open, allowing the wind
to accumulate inside with such pressure
as to lift the roof, carrying the balance
of the frame work with it.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany were unfortunate. Most of their
wires leading out of town in all d:rcc-
tons were down. Tho press circuit be-
tween here and Bristol was broken and
there was also trouble between hero and
Lynchburg. None of the city wires
were injured.
TheENorfoll1 and Western Railroad
Company's wires also Jared badly.
great many of them was grounded and
those that were not broken worked very
badly. Communication with Lynch
burg was entirely destroyed. Along
the Shenandoah Valley the wire was
not broken but it had undoubtedly felt
the effects of the storm, rs it worked
very poorly. The electric lights along
the railroad were eXtinguishcd.
Tho telephone service in the city was
also interrupted. A number of wires
were grounded, others were crossed and
in ono or two instances they came in
contact with the electric light wires.
In Roanoke, the streets, which q few
days ago were nothing but big puddleS
OF mud, were suddenly converted into
walls of dust. On some of the streets
it was impossible to sec block ahead.
Drivers of teams had to be very cautious
i'll order to prevent collisions and pedes-
TRANS on the sidewalks were hurled
about at the mercy of the wind. For
few minutes it looked as though n regu-
lar cyclone was coming, but fortunately
1T did not put in an appearance.
