BAD FOR DICTATORS
Fonseca Steps Down and Out at
Rio de Janeiro.
The PEOPLE GENERALLY REJOICE.
The Reins of Power Handed Over to an
Obscure Individual of the >ame of
Peixotta-A ecord-Breaking
Revolution.

LONDON, Nov. 24-Dispatches from
Rio de Janerio bring the intelligence
that the opposition to Dictator Fonseca
has gathered sufficient force to break
through the barriers erected by the
government to hold it in check and to
make itself master of the situation. No
details have as yet been received as to
the methods adopted. All that is known
is that the uprising was so formidable
that Fonseca decided that it was i'm
possible to longer maintain his ascend
ancy and surrendered his authority.
In retiring, or resigning as he called
it, he declared that he did so in favor
of Floriano Peixotto, the vice-presi-
dent or vice-chief of the provisional
government, of which Fonseca was the
head. Whether the opposition will be
content to allow Piexotto, about whom
little is known here, to assume the
leadership of state is not known. 1t is
not believed that he will be permitted
to act as chief executive, even tempo
rarily, unless he is in sympathy with
the ideas and principles of the leaders
of the revolutionary movement.
Rio de Janeiro is in a state of great
excitement, but no reports have come
as yet indicating mob law OF serious
disorder. The uprising, however, had
the effect of putting a stop for the time
being to all kinds of business. The
exchanges are closed and every body is
so interested in watching political de-
velopments that no thought is given to
commercial pursuits or business ele-
ments. The news that Fonseca had
resigned spread through the city like
wildfre. Everywhere it was received
with enthusiastic cheers and exclama-
tions of satisfaction.
The provinces have not yet been
heard from, but it is believed from the
advices hereto ore received in regard
to the growing opposition throughout
the country to Fonseca's supremacy
that the news of his downfall will
everywhere be received with the same
satisfaction as at the capital The rev.
olution at Rio de Janeiro only broke
out in the morning, and its work was
quickly accomplished

bly, be very heavy.
The storm caused great anxiety
among the river men. There are be-
tween Il, 600, 900 and Il, 900, 900 bushels
of coal lying in boats in the harbor
awaiting shipment and for a time it
was feared all would be swept away.
Several barges broke from their moor
ings, but were recovered without loss.
On the Allegheny river the Star Sand
Co s hosting boat and engine and
Clarke's hosting boat and engine were
capsized and sunk The crews escaped.
Several coal boats are reported leak
ing, and it is feared great damage will
yet result
At Butler, Pa, the frame store build
ings of w. H. Goerhing, wholesale
commission merchant L Arras, har-
ness, and Mrs Fay's boarding house
were blown down and completely de-
molished. The occupants were buried
in the ruins, but Joseph Nanny, Jr.,
was the only one injured. The ruins
took fire, but were quickly extin-
guished by the fire department
Last evening the wind became very
high in Pittsburgh and the rain turned
to snow.
The storm struck Meadville with ter
rife force about noon. The roof was
blown from the New York, Pennsyl-
vania & Ohio freight house and the
roof partly torn from the passenger
depot. Shade trees and chimneys were
blown down all over town. Telephone
reports from neighboring towns tell of
serious damage. No lives were lost
At Ashtabula, O., brick school house
collapsed at . o'clock. The children
were taken out by the teachers when
they saw the storm coming and none
were hurt Many roofs were blown off
and other damage done.
At Akron, o., the wind blew in the
front of John Pringle's brick livery
stable and played havoc with signs and
shade trees. The rain turned to snow
about noon and the fail was very heavy,

UNPOPULAR METHODS.
Union Pacific Discrimination That Is
Losing the Road Money.

! Ou1Ou dCluC DISQUALIFICATION 1udb Is
Losing the Road Money.
A series of changes in Union Pacific
agents has included Abilene and Mr..
NJ. B. Fulton, who has so acceptably
conducted the Office here for two years,
has been transferred to Russell and
leaves tonight for his new position.
The REFLECTOR, as will the business
firms generally in the city, regrets the
change. No railroad official ever
stationed here has made more friends
by upright, businesslike manners,
courteous and faithful discharge of
duties and accommodating efforts in
behalf of the public than Mr.. Fulton.
He has made hosts Of friends for him
self and the Union Pacific aud will We,
be heard from in the higher ranks OF
the great railway army.
The present policy Of the road seems
to be to injGre the roads popularity
among shippers as much as possible
The general freight agent. Ksil, has
made such unjust determinations
against shippers of Abilene and other
points that half dozen of the leaiing
grain, -four, coal and lumOer firms will
not ship a pound over the road. atr.
Fulton's personal popularity and efforts
alone have held considerable business
that would have been lost otherwise
Vigorous protests have been going up
from the shippers for some time and
the removal of Mr.. Fulton will doubt
less have its effect in not only losing
the road still more business but in
causing a signed petition to be seat To
headquarters for bis Reinstatement.
The fair and equable methods of the
Rock Island aud Santa Fe are winning
those roads The great bulk of the bust
ness and viii continue to do SO as long
as the L. P.'s remarkable methods

Mr.. Thos. FitzgibhOn, for a long
time agent at Junction, will take Mr..
Fulton's place. He already has many
acquaintance in the city.
