GALVESTON IN DARKNESS.
The Southern City Visited by a
Rain and Wind Storm.

GALVESTON, Tex, July 5.-As dark
ness deepened last night the wind,
which had been blowing hard all day,
accompanied by rains, increased in We
locity, and by 10 p. m. was blowing at
the rate of twenty-six miles per hour.
This continued to increase, accom-
panied by a driving, binding rain.
until 6:15 this morning, when it reached
a velocity of forty miles per
hour, which it maintained for five min
utes, when it gradually subsidized. Dur
ing the gale the gulf was extremely
turbulent and the surf was driven, in
undatlng the low portions of the city in
the east end, while along the gulf side
it threatened the underpinning of
houses near the beach and washed away
and upturned about two blocks of the
Galveston 4 Western railroad; tore up
and demolished the street railway tracks
extending from Twenty-second street
west to the beach, undermined and
broke up portions of the break
water protecting the Beach hotel
lawn, and carried away temporary ap-
prOacheS to the Pagoda bath house and
other gulfside resorts, besides wreck
ing number of temporary stands in
front of the Beach hotel. The damage
InuS lar mas not Deen serious and will
not exceed $1,000; but the signal service
predict the worst is not over, and the
prediction from present indications will
be verified, as the velocity of the wind
at this hour is reported by the service
at twenty-four miles an hour, with
dropping brrometer, while the gulf
is rolling inward with a sullen roar
that is ominouS. 1t is reported
at 3 o'clock this morning that a four
masted schooner was sighted off the
Beach hotel with signals of distress fly
ing, and that the life-saving crew had
gone to her rescue aud saved four of her
crew, and were attempting to save the
others, but all efforts to track the au-

fruitless. The storm has knocked the

TOMMY SKIPPED OUT.
Free Fight in a Chicago Labor
Assembly.

CHICAGO, July 5.-A disgraceful free
for-all fight was the feature of the reg
ular weekly meeting of the trades and
labor assembly to-day. For two hours
the assembly had been discussing the
report of the Labor day and entertain
ment committee with reference to the
letting of the contract of printing.
Fraud was charged, and finally the lie
was exchanged between two delegates,
when the fighting commenced. The ut
most confusion reigned, and for time
it seemed that everybody in the hall ex-
cept the women were mixed up in the
melee. Black eyes and broken heads
were numerous, and at least one knife
was drawn, though its owner was
tripped up and disarmed before murder
could be committed. Tommy Morgan,

1t Is Celebrated in Superb Style
at Pueblo.

PUEBLO, Col, July 5.-Tbe most sue
cessful Fourth of July celebration ever
known in the Rocky Mountain country
occurred here yesterday. 1t was state
affair, the central idea being the open
ing of the Colorado mineral palace, the
handSOmest exposition in America. The
scheme of decoration carried out in this
building is the most elaborate and eX
tensive yet attempted in any auditorium
in the country. The specimens dis
played are valued at S500,000, and en-
brace every mining district in Colorado.
Gov. Routt, accompanied by the entire
staff, as well as every military
organization, both state and ma
tional, in colorado, was present.
with almost innumerable bands and
drum corps. The Colorado mine palace
great success. The celebration itself
comparing favOrably with any ever held
in the state. Not a single accident of
any kind occurred to mar the pleasure
of the day. Hon. T. NJ. Patterson, edi-
tor of the Rocky Mountain News, and
the most popular public speaker in the
West, was the orator of the day. The
celebration and grand opening of the
mineral palace was drawn to close by
one of the most brilliant balls ever held
in the West at the palace, which was
attended by military and civic officers
from the entire state. Owing to heavy
wind and rain storm, which came up
about o'clock in the evening, the dis
play of fireworks was postponed until
Monday evening. 1t is estimated $1,000
visitors were in the city.

in the evening were listened to by
nearly as large an audience as had az
tended the other services. He spoke of
the well-known attitude and the work
of the Prohibition party. He regarded
the park as most important step i'll the
right direction and from it expects great
good to the temperance cause. The
words of Bishop Hurst did not meet
with a ready response in the hearts of
all of the hearers, and much discussion
was INDUCED in on points he had
raised. Guests are in from all parts OF
the country. There are no very proml-
nent prohibitioDists yet on the ground,
but several are expected in few days.
Tuesday the real work of organizing the
school of reform methods will begin.
Mrs. Lathrop is among the speakers.
She will. it is understood, advance some
very radical views on the way of carry
ing on the work, especially IN New
York city, where she thinks it is time
to carry on the fight into the enemy's
camp.

New YORK, July 5.-The crowds who
came to the meetings of the Prohibition
Park camp meeting, Port Richmond,
Staten island were much larger than
anticipated. and in consequence their
hotel is crowded, and many guests have
been sent to the tents and boarding
houses. The flags and bunting of the
Fourth made the park gay all day Sun
day. The services of the day consisted
of addresses by Mary L. Lathrop, presi-
dent of the Michigan WOman's Chris
tian Temperance union; Bishop Hurst,
of Washington, D. c., and Chairman
Dickie, of the national committee of the
third party. Bishop Hurst touched on
public, not forgetting to allude to
the baccarat scandal, which he in
timated would be one of the
things that would be imported to

not be restricted from coming to this
country any more than other nationali-
ties, that the Bible shsuld be kept in
the public schools, and women should
vote. In the afternoon Mrs. Lathrop
spoke. She had an immense audience.
Great crowds had come on trains and
afoOt, by the Staten Island Rapid Tran
sit, far and near. Mrs. Lathrop, in her
address, said that there was every rea-
son to believe that God would step in
and overrule the will of men on the
temperance question, just as he had
stepped in and overruled the will of the

mains to be seen whether THAR courage
will carry them quietly through the
ordeal of the chamber of death. AT
midnight the prison was as lively as 1t
was at midday. The guards were
patrolling the roadway. In front of the
warden's Office a group of newspaper
reporters were discussing big pitcher
of prison coffee with Head Keeper Con-
naughton and two of his assistants.
In a little frame house at the end
of the warden's garden a bright
light shone from the open windows
where the operator of the United Press
was sending out the story of the day at
Sing Sing; and on the end OF the high
treStle just beyond a shadowy group of
men stood about the imprOVised desk
where a telegraph operator, by the dim
light of a lantern, was talking with the
Office of one of the New York papers.
There was no sign of preparation for
the execution, and everything seems to
point to its postpOnement until late
morning hour.

the prison were the passing of the
guards, and the presence at the prison
door of the waiting crowds of reporters.

prison about 1 a. m, but did not say
where his father was. DR.. Carlos Mac
Donald. of the state board of lunacy,

braska's celebrations yesterday were of
a political character. The Alliance,
when possible, captured the day. and

new party in Cincinnati. There were
in all more than 200 distinctive Alliance
celebrations. One county celebration
was held in each of the LOG counties in
the state, and many counties held three
or four. 1t was impossible to provide
speakers for all the gatherings, and the
Alliance congressional and cOonty lect-
urers, in several instances, made two
speeches. A feature of all the congress
SIonal meetings was huge banners tell
ing of the crisis in the nations history.
The first was in 1776. when the Declara-
ton of Independence resulted in the
freedom of the colonies from the Brit
ish yoke; the second was the abolition
of chattel slavery. and the third would
be in 1892 by the abolition of industrial
slavery through the Peoples party. The
Republicans celebrated by themselves,
and the Democrats were not in it at all.
There was not celebration in the state
where the three parties met as citizens.
