A Southeastern Which Was Welcomed For
the Water 1t Brought.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. III Special THE
southeaster which began raging at o'clock
this morning has proved to be the most vio-
lent storm of the season, and at the same
lime it was welcomed by everybody While
there was no immediate danger of water
famine, the water in the lakes and reservoirs
was getting very low. and physicians were
considering its purity for household pur-
poses. In all about one inch of rain has
fallen.
The wind has blown at the rate of 35 miles
an hour and this caused a very high tide,
which flooded Tomlinson's causeway, and
for time prevented traffic An immense
elm tree on Broadway, near the center of
the city, was blown over and fell on a
building occupied By A. L. Hammond, who
keeps cigar store. The building was de-
molished. Mr.. Hammond and several
people, who had temporarily sought refuge
in the store, saw the tottering tree and
barely escaped with their lives. The oyster
sloop. Matte K, owned by Gilbert Eaton,
was wrecked on the west shore this morning.
She parted her moorings and was driven on
the beech and soon broke up.

BIG FOOT BREAKS LOOSE.
There Are No Signs However of a General
Indian Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia telegram
has been received at army headquarters
from General John B. Brooke, commanding
the Department of Dakota, in response to
one sent by General Schofeld asking the
truth about the rumor that Big Foot's band
had left its reservation and started for Pine
Ridge. General Brooke stated he had been
unable to learn anything definite about the
movement, but would find its scope and
significance at once.
There is no apprehension felt here that
this movement will be followed by any
thing like last winters outbreak. General
Schofeld said this morning: 1.-THE state of
things in the Indian country is to-day far
better than it was year ago There is
more contentment among the Sioux this
winter than last, and this is mainly due to
the fact that the affairs of the Government,
as far as they affect the Indians, are, I be-
lieve, being better administered. I do not
think that there are any signs to be dis
cerned now of trouble this winter for, as
far as can see, the tribes are quiet"

FLORENCE VERY LOW.
HIS PHYSICIANS STILL HAVE HOPES
OF HIS RECOVERY.

At Midnight They Thought There Was
More Than q Chance-Every Care
Taken of Him by His Relatives and
Their Advisers.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 17.-[Special i
William J. Florence, the comedian, is still
alive and his physicians and friends refuse
to abandon hope of his recovery though at
one time this morning the famous actor
seemed to be at the very door of
! death. At this hour, midnight, DIR.
Donnallen has just come from the sick room.
To the question: doctor, do you think
| there is chance for recovery?" the doctor
replied: eyes, think there is more than a
chance. L am going back, and shall stay
with Mr.. Florence all night
| AT o'clock this morning the condition
of Mr.. Florence became to desperate that
Father Flanagan, of St. Mary's Roman
| Catholic Church, was ummoned to his bed
side at the urgent request of Mrs. Barney
Williams. Before the priest arrived, the
sick man had fallen so law that his death
was momentarily expected. DR.. Pancoast
who had gone home, leaving DR.. Donnellan
in charge, was sent for at the same time the
priest was summoned, and arrived first. At
that time Mr.. Florence appeared to be
scarcely alive. BY DR.. Pancoast's advice
hypodermic injection was made over the
heart and this caused rally.
At o'clock this morning the following
bulletin was posted by the doctors: ''Mr.
Florence's condition is still critical, but
better than last night" At 8 o'clock
Father Flannigan returned and the sacra-
ment of the extreme JUNCTION was admins
tered.
Mr. Florence's relatives are Mrs. Barney
Williams, of Brooklyn; Mrs. Wygard, of
Washington, sister-in-law of Mr.. Florence;
Police Inspector Conlen, of New York, his
brother; and Commodore Tooker, his brother
in-law.
DR.. Donnellan at II o'clock this morning
said: "Mr. Florence is a very sick man. L
noticed change in his condition for the
better few moments ago. We are using
our utmost endeavors to prevent the dis
ease striking the kidneys and the heart ."
Drs. Pancoast, Da Costa and Donnellan
held consultation at noon and then issued
the following bulletin: "Mr. Florence is
somewhat better than he was last evening
although he is still in critical condition.
He rallied this morning, and is doing as
well as could be expected" In private
conversations during the afternoon the
doctors admitted that practically they had
given up all hope. At $50 tonight bull
etin was posted saying: "Mr. Florence has
not only held his own during the day but
has improved" "

Electricity
The principal objection to the use of the
phonograph for regular commercial work is
the limited amount of matter that can be
recorded on a single cylinder. To remove
this difficulty device, consisting essentially
of continuous recording surface, has been
inventeda In this machine the record is
made on continuous ribbon, the upper
surface of which is coated with film of wax
composition; thus the thick cylinder is en-
tirely done away with.
The use of ribbon allows of greater SIM
plicity of construction than is possible
where a cylinder is employed. On the cyl
inder the greatest length OF record, e1-
pressed in time, is considerably less than
eight minutes. With machine employing
a recording ribbon an almost unlimited
length of record could be made. A ribbon
is not liable to be affected by variations in
temperature, which tend to made the ordi-
nary cylinders untrue and mere or less in
operative and defective.

severe. storm to-day brought with it tor
nado such as has never before been wit
messed in Rockland county. 1t damaged
property to the extent of $4,000 or $4,000
at Piermont, and then changed its course
and went due South, striking with terrific
force the long pier which extends over a
mile out into the river There 1t spent its
force and did damage to the extent of sew
eral thousand dollars. The pier is owned
by the Erie Railroad and is used for the re-
ception and shipment of coal which comes
from Carbondale, Pa.
At present there are nearly 100000 tons
there On the pier is q trestle about 500
feet in length, upon which the cars run to
deliver their coal. Near the eastern end of
the trestle there are several brown hoisting
machines used to deliver the coal into the
boats for shipment. The south side of the
hoisting machines was completely wrecked.
The wood and iron work was raised up and
dashed down again instantly, and iron bars
10 and II inches thick were twisted as easily
as if they had been of paper.

Traffic Going to the Pacific Coast by Water,

lramc UolnS TO tno fac1nc coast DY water.
The Pittsburg committee of freight
agents will meet this morning to dispose of
lot of routine and postponed business.
The traffic out of Pittsburg is good, but the
agents claim that too much freight is going
to California from New York by water The
through lines at this time feel the effects of
navigation. The ives t-bound shipments are
light compared with the eastern traffic, but
railroads never pay so well as when the cars
are loaded going both ways. The lines
have tried in various ways to circumvent
the steamship companies without avail.
Such products as coke and glass can be
shipped from England by way of Cape Horn
and dumped on the Pacific coast cheaper
than the American manufacturers can land
the same articles there by rail- Devonshire
coke is used almost exclusively in Arizona
and other Pacific territory.

The letter was addressed to Mr.. Jabez
Huntington, or Norwich. We have here a
model of conciseness and pointedness. In a
letter of eight lines he asked for SO, 1000, as
though he expected to get it, and, indeed,
sends the letter by messenger, who is ex-
pected to return with the money. If our
modern college Presidents could get SO, 900
by merely indicating in the briefest possible
way, that the money was needed, it would
seem to them, indeed, as though the golden
age had really come. How would our men
of capital welcome such a letter as this:
DEAR SIR-The college needs SO, ,OOO Please
