HURRAH FOR BROADWAY.
A Very Important Real Estate Deal
Consummated Yesterday.


A real estate deal was consummated
yesterday that means good deal for this
city, and for Broadway in particular.
The transfers in real estate in the
HERALD today, among others, has that
of sixty feet on the west side of Broad
way, between Second and Third streets,
sold by the Milliken estate to J. w.
Robinson. The price was $40 ,260, or at
the rate of 1921 per foot front. The deal
was made several weeks ago, and was
known at this Office, but had to go
through the courts to confirm the sale.
The papers were made out and the money
put up, the papers being held in escrow
sence' of Mr.. Robinson at the east re-
tarded the matter. He returned a
week ago today, and has been
rather under weather until
yesterday, when the deal was con-
ummated. Mr.. Robinson buys the
property with the intention of putting
up four-story building thereon at an
early day, into which he will move his
business now carried on on Spring
street, opposite Court street.
That OF itself would be pretty good for
Broadway, but that is not half the story.
Next to j. M. Grifith's Potomac block
Judge J. D. Bicknell owns sixty feet.
He will join the procession and put up
a four-story block on that lot. Better
still, and more of it. Harris Newmark
owns the sixty feet between Judge
Bicknell and Mr.. Robinson. He does
not propose to be left behind, SO ne
joins the grand army of improvement,
and will see the movements of his
neighbors in the full sense of poker par
lance. That makes a frontage of
l80 feet OF four-story brick
and stone, to match the
California bank building on the cor
ner OF Second, the Y. NJ. @. A. block
next and the Griffith block next, When

of the Republican national committee.
The headquarters of the various delega-
lions representing the cities DESTROYS of
being the meeting place of the next
National Republican convention were
thrown open. and the consultations were
going OH every corner. The leaders OF
the delegations had prepared them-
selves for the presentation 10 the COM

respective cities, and were engaged in
canvassing the list of committeeman
and holding up the hope of their dele
cations. MessrS. Mckinley and Fora
ker were conspicuous among the many
persons thrOnging the Hobbies and cor
ridOrS, and were everywhere greeted
with marked consideration. The men,
berS of the committee itself were slow
in getting together. Eleven O'clock was
the IhOur appointed for meeting, but at
that time not more than dozen OF the
members were present IN the hall.
Others drifted in slowly, however, and
by half-paSt IL O'clock the doors were
closed upon all but members, and the
committee held secret session. This
session lasted until half-past ~ o'clock
and was devoted to the usual routine
business.

roll was called. 1t appeared that every
state and territory was represented,
either directly or by proxy, except New
Mexico, whose representative, Mr..

The first business after the roll call was
the acceptance of the resignation OF
Chairman Quay and Treasurer Dudley.

ton the verse:
I'VE can live without love, which is mere
hoping and pining,
But where is the man who can live without
dningy'
1t was not to be expected that such man
would be found in the national Republican
convention. Laughter. The city of san
Francisco had entertained the Knights Tenn
plars. and had entertained the Grand Army
OF the Republic, and with spontaneous
politeneSs and such unwearied courtesy and
care that every member thought that he was
the special guest of the city and that the
whole business had been gotten up for his
entertainment. [Laugbterl
NJ. Ii. DE Young then addressed the
committee with arguments in behalf of
San Francisco. He spoke of the ar
rangementS that had been made for en-
tertaining the delegates, should San
Francisco be selected. and presented a
bond guaranteeing $4,000 for the eX-
penSeS of the national convention.
CongreSSman-elect Campbell, of Illinois.
spoke briefly for Chicago. He confined
himself merely to reading resolutions
passed by business men of Chicago dis
claiming any desire on the part of that
city to make contest for the conven-
ton, but promised to do all that could
be done to entertain the delegates should
Chicago be chosen.

'FRISCO'S CLAIM
Hum orously Presented by Con
gresham Mckenna.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The first
business done in the open session was
the call of states in alphabetical order
for the presentation of the claims Of the
cities aspiring to the honor of entertain
ing the Republican national conven-
ton. The first state answered for was
California. Mr.. De Young introduced
as the spokesman of San Francisco Con-
gresham McKenna. Mr.. McKenna adj
dressed the committee.
The city of San Francisco, he said would
be found to have claims to consideration re-
garding her interests and the interests of
the Pacific section, but regarding not
only the interests of the Rep ubli-
can party. He could best review the
titles Of san Francisco by reviewing the
objections urged or entertained against them
1t was said that the city of San Francisco
was too far away. The distance was OBJ
jected 10, but that argument had not
much foundation, and led to some
strange suggestions. The splendid size
of the country seemed to be get
ting inconvenient to the politicians. To he
lonely away from home had not heretofore
been considered one of their conspicuous
characteristics. Laughter. If geographical
consideration were 10 prevail, other places
! besides San Francisco were Objectionable.

time that would be consumed as travel be-
tween san Francisco and any other city.

People would flock to the Pacific
states by thousands. Every town in the broad
land would be a center of interest and ami
nation. Every pleasure felt and every sight
seen would be memento of the Republican
party. Could anything better be done in an
! other six days? The travel would be a means
| of exciting, arousing and instructing the
| country. 1t would be a splendid opportunity
because he sincerely believed that the politi-

had always been done, HAD placed national

wind and rain storm, amounting almost
to hurricane, passed over this city
about 1880 O'Clock today, doing great
damage to property. The walls of the
new MetzerOtt music hall, in course of
construction, we've blown down. and
several persons killed and many in

A section of stone balustrade around
the roof of the White house was blown
down during the storm and crushed
through the roof of the pOrtico at the
eastern entrance of the basement. A

CLEVELAND. o., NOY. 23.-The storm
here today was the worst in long time
Rain has fallen continuously since yes
terday forenoon. About noon today it
became so dark that lamps and gas
were lighted all over the city. The
darkness lasted half an hour, when the
wind shifted to the West and the ram
came down in torrents. The wind was
blowing gale at shutdown. but it has
subsidized somewhat since. 1t is growing
colder. A railroad man who came IN
over the Erie this evening said there
was two feet of snow twenty miles south
of the city.
A special from Meadvile. Pa, saws
the storm struck that town with terrific
force about noon today. The roof was
blown from the New York, Pennsyl-
yania q Ohio railroad freight house and
the roof partly torn from the passenger
depot. Shade trees and chimneys were
blown down all over the town. Tele-
phone reports from neighboring towns
tell OF serious damage. No lives were
lost.
At Ashtabula, o., the storm did much
damage. A brick school building col
lapsed at 2 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 the wind blew in the front
of John Pringle's brick livery stable,
and played havoc with signs and shade

of New York were next presented.
Elliott F. Shepherd being the first
speaker. He held that all other
cities contesting would have candidates:
New York had none; all would have
an equal chance. San Francisco was
his second choice. He presented dia-
gram of Madison Square garden, seat
ing 1900 people; referred 10 hotel
room for $4,000, and said that the city
usually furnished the Republican party
two-thirdS of its sinewS of war
The spirit of the Democratic tiger
must Ue met, defeated and Gagged !;
else the tiger would eat up the
country. 1t had taken New York and
was now after the balance of the United
States. A convention in New York
would make the Democratic power
falter, and the speaker appealed to the
committee to give New York peaceful
revolution.
Senator HIscock followed for New
York. He said the ordinary MAORI
ties of the West would not do; not
the majoritieS of Kansas and Wisconsin.
The New York Republicans had to go
down to Harlem with $4,000 majority.
He believed New York was en-
titled to the convention, and said
there will be no vacation for New
York Republicans. They must fight to
save the state from the enemy. The
convention meant much to New York.
Eight million people would be within
hearing of the proceedings of the con-
ventiOn.
Senator Hawley. of Connecticut, spoke
next for New York. and Mr.. Fassett
closed the case for New York. he said
there was not an atom of force they
could afford to despise. New York
state never but twice failed to give its
vote for the Republican ticket,
and on one of these occasions
the grandesU Republican of them all had
been defeated [cheerS for Blainel The
convention in New York would draw
out $4,000 Republican votes which other
wise would not be cast. The nOmina-
ton or platform would not be affected
but the vote of the state would be
brought nearer within reach. A re-
fusal by the the convention to give
New York the convention would be
fatal error. Recess was taken at & D. III.

at Alpsville is almost complete wreck.
AT New Brighton, Pa, OH the Erie IL

At Butler, Pa, the store buildings of
w. ii. GOering, wholesale commission
merchant; L. Arras. harness dealer,
and Mrs. Fay's boarding house were
completely demolished. The occn-
pants were buried in the ruins, but
joseph Manly, Jr., was the only one
injured. The ruins took fire, but were
quickly eXtinguiShed by the fire depart
ment. This evening the wind again be-
came very high in Pittsburg and the
rain turned into snow.
The storm had a rather disastrous
effect upon the derricks in the oil fields.
Old as we'll as new derricks were blown
down, and nearly all the districts with
in fifty miles of Pittsburg suffered to a
greater or less extent from the storm.
Between Oakdale and NObiestOwn
twelve derricks were blown down, and
reports from the McCurdy, Moon. Wash
ingtOn, Butler, Greene and other oil
districts are TO the effect that they all
suffered. The losses to the oil men are
roughly estimated at S25, 600.
At midnight high wind still pre-.
vailed here, and it was alternately rain
ing and showing. Communication by
telegraph was still cut Off from the
East. All the wires of the Western
Union and Postal companies are pros
trated between PitGsburg and Philadel-
phia. Baltimore, Washington aud New
York. The same condition of affairs
prevails north, while west and south
the wires are working, but very poorly.
The loss by the storm will be heavy,
but cannot be approximated at this
time.
