ALL STILL CONFIDENT.
No Man Willing to Admit Defeat
Possible.

Possible.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. = The day
closed with neither Mr.. Crisp nor Mr..
Mills less confident of winning. Repre-
sentative SayerS, Texas, who has worked
hard for Mr.. Mills. said this evening:
Il tell you l know Mr.. Mills will be
elected OH the second ballot. can't
give you any figures or tell you how it
will be done, but l feel certain OF it,"
Inquiry directed III other quarters with
the view of aScertaining the cause
of this confidence shows, that it
is based on belief that the retirement,
after ballOting begins, Of Messrs.
Springer. McMillin and Hatch, is newt
able, and that Mr.. Mills can win when
the contest narrOwS down to two candi-
dates.
On the other hand, Mr.. Blount. of
Carolina. said that they did not see
how any combination of circumstances
could bring about Mr.. Crisp's defeat.
Mr. Crisp had 100 on the first ballot
MI. Springer claims 81 votes on
the first ballot, and says this
number will be swollen by deser-
tiOns from Mr.. Mills to 65 on the
second and to 20 the third Mr. Nc
Millln says his 81 votes on the first bal
lot Will be Increased to IS on the second,
and so OH in like ratio until he receives
! the nomination. Mr.. Hatch's friends
say his 1G or II votes on the first
ballot will be increased by de-
sertions from Messrs. Mills and
Crisp to 20 on the second and
nearly double that on the third. Mr..
Crisp has selected Mr.. Blount, of Geor-
gia, to put h name in nomination. Mr..
Cnlberson will nominate his colleague.
Mr.. Mills. Senator Villas worked
the last two days with the Wisconsin
delegation in the interest of Mr.. Mills
and it is claimed successfully in event
of Mr.. Springer's cause becoming hope
less.

engine of the boat train went a quarter

about twenty-five on the boat tram. All

CARLISLE, Pa, Dec. 1.-The worst
storm known in years swept over this
country this afternoon, wrecking build
ingS, uprOOting trees and destroying
crops. The damage will reach.
and may exceed 100000. but as far as
could be learned tonight no lives were
lost. The storm came from the south
east and then Yeered to the west. Rain
fell in torrents, flooding the streets and
making them impossible.
At Mechanicsburg fifteen buildings
were blown down, among them the Ma
tiOnal hotel and Methodist church.
Twelve other buildings were damaged.
At WaynesbOrO the Lalns tool works
and the Webster school house were
wrecked. Fortunately the pupils of the
school had been dismissed and the
employees of the tool works escaped
with slight injuries. The Philadelphia
IL Reading freight depot at Shippens-
burg was unroOfed, as was also the
overall factory, the employees barely es-
Gaping. The township school house and
the Western Maryland roundbouse
were also demolished. From the coun-
try come reports Of wrecked barns,
ruined crops and Frustrated telegraph
lines. The storm lasted nearly an hour.

Olson, with quiet demeanor, encouraged
his men, and instructed them to keep
perfectly cool. This proved the most
stubborn fight of the night. The ribbon
was pulled first one side of the scratch
and then the other, giving the parti-
sans in the audience the full
worth of their money and keeping
the excitement at fever heat. Finally
Capt. Banning and his erudite voice
began to stir up the Irish lads to re-
doubled valor and the silk passed over
to their side to remain, but it was i'm
possible 10 fight out a victory. Now
and then the lead was increased to five
or six inches. but the Irish ''anchOr'
did not understand how to hold his
prestige, and slowly the rope would
give way and fall back to within two or
three inches of the scratch. At the flu
ish of the battle the Irish team had
about six inches the best of the contest,
and draw was announced by Referee
Pottgieser.
For this evening two entirely new
teams will enter the lists. The English
athletes are thoroughly organized. as
are the French, and they will add to the
interest of the series. The victors thus
far are the Canadians and the SwedeS,

Did anybody ever see a

have ? Is there such a COM
plete stock in the Twin Cities?
Is there a more varied stock?
We hear customers wonder
ing every day where we got
such a beautiful stock of
Toys" and it really is a mat
ter Of wonder. We have an
experience of over is years
in this business, and if any,
body knows WHERE to buy.
and how to buy RIGHT, we
certainly should. We COM
menee in January to buy Toys
for the following December;
our orders GO to the -four
corners" Of the world: our
buyers ransaek Berlin, Paris,
Vienna, London and New
York for Novelties as well as
staples. Now, after eleven
months Of preparation, we
invite your inspection and
decision. It is one thing to
know how and another to be
able to do it. Many Of the
articles we sell can only be
purchased in large ouanti-
ties. thus placing them out of
the reach of small dealers ex-
cept at third or fourth hands.
Our two large stores Est. Paul
and Minneapolis) enable US
to handle immense quaint
ties and to buy at the lowest
prices. We are sole North
western agents for F. Ad.
Richter's Celebrated Stone
Anchor Blocks and many
other Standard Toys for the
same reason. All Of which
goes to show that it is better
to purchase at Headquarters.
When you want to buy Dry
Goods we advise you to pur-
chase at a Dry Goods Store;
when you want Groceries go
to a Grocery Store, but when
you want Holiday Goods come
to US.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Tribune's
Haverstraw dispatch says: Twelve
barges loaded with brick, lowed by the
Cornell company's steamboat Town
send, coming down the Hudson. when
opposite CrOtOn Point, were upset at
about o'clock this evening and about
twenty persons drowned. When at Gro
ton Point the swaSh of the river was
so great that the tug WIS compelled to
round to, thus forcing the bargeS to
ride each other. Being loaded and the
tide high. they Immediately upset.
There were sixty men on the twelve
barges. and only about thirty have come
ashore. The accident is attrib-
uted by many to the careless
ness of the pilot of the tug.

Upon each barge were five men, max
ing sixty in all. OF these only about
thirty men have come ashore Tugs are
out all over the river in the hope of saw
ing any who may have cIung to the bot
tom OF the capsized barges. but little
hope is entertained as to the safety of
the remainder of the crews. Twelve
men are known to be drowned from the
different boats. Great excitement pre-
walls in the village.
Ten Bodies Recovered.
The bodies of ten have been recov-
cred at midnight. The storm came up
on them just as they reached the point.
The moment the tow line was cast
off the barges began to drive into
one another and bound about in
the Seaway. AS they knocked together
some had hOles stove in their sides, and
the waves and wind turned them bottom
up. This happened in a very few min
uteS. The crew of the barges, each
barge carried about FIVE men and boys,
were down below playing cards or tell
ing stories. The heavy rainfall had
driven everybody from the decks. No
warning seems to have been given by
the tugbOat people when they hove to.
The first the men in the barges
knew their boats were smashing into
each other and sinking and upSetting.
Some had time 10 rush on deck and
jump into the water. Many must have
been caught IN the cabins. like in
trap, and carried down.
In all the barges there were at least
fifty persons. Of those only thirty have
come ashore. The boats which cap
sized dropped their cargoes and

may yet be saved. The men who SWAN
ashore had hard struggle for
life in the cold water and the
high surf. As soon as they had
landed and told their story two
tugs were dispatched from Haverstraw
after the bargeS. At o'clock the tugs
had not returned TO Haverstraw, and
the fate Of those who were able to climb
upon the overturned boats, il there
were any such, was still unknown.
