The Approach of a "Cyclono. y

The Democrats of the Ninth Virginia
Congressional district have nominated
Hon. James w. Marshall, of Craig coun-
tv, as their standard bearer, and their
action was an eminently proper one
The Ninth Virginia Congressional dis
trict is good for at least $500 Democratic
majority, and If Mr.. Marshall lives he
will undoubtedly be a member of the
Fifty third Congress. In view OF these
facts it is proper that the Post should
formally introduce the public to the
Hon. James W. Marshall, of Craig coun-
ty.
In the first place Mr.. Marshall is a
Democrat He doesn't go about pro-
claiming this fact ID order that his per
sonal ambitions may be gratified, but
Mr. Marshall is Democrat seven days
per week because he believes in the
principles of the party of Jefferson and
Jackson But Mr. Marshall is not mere
ly a Democrat for the pleasure he is able
to exact from the occupation. He is
hard>working Democrat, and he has
climbed over the hills and mountains OF
Southwestern Virginia year after year
in order that his party might have the
benefit of his services on the stump. As
campaigner Marshall has few peers,
and his vigorous manner of talking to
the Virginians has earned for him the
title of 'sCyclone jim"
The Post is really glad that "Cyclone
JIM is coming to Congress.
1t was ''Cyclone. jim" Marshall who
met Hon. Henry W. Blair. of New
Hampshire, in joint debate in the noun
famous region of Virginia, and when the
New England orator retired from the
fray his pet educational bill was literally
torn into fragments. This is but one
| instance in the interesting career Of this
interesting Virginian, and the Post feels
perfectly safe in asserting that the
American people will be highly pleased
when Col. Marshall dons his Congress
sional armor and goes about poking his
trusty lance into the vitals of numerous
papier mache gods.
"Cyclone JIM Marshall is all wool, a
| full yard wide, and when he takes the
oath of of1ice.in the Fiftythird Congress,
if there should happen to be any Simp-
sons. Watsons, or Baileys about they
will do we'll to take refuge in the cyclone
cellars. In sending Hon. James W.
Marshall to Congress the Democrats of
the Ninth Virginia district have render
ed their country Invaluable service

A common scene pointer about arbitrary
strikes is furnished III the fact that the
loss in wages of labor by the building
trades strike started by the granite
stone cutters is $2,SO0,OOO. That sum
would have purchased enough of the
best stone plants in New England to
employ thousands of men as their own
masters; but they have lost the So. $780, 600
in wages and are now getting back to
work where they can with nothing but
loss for their achievement.

The Virginia Farmers Alliance began
its annual session in Richmond Tuesday
of last week. The principal event of the
day was the address of President Page
in which he reviews the condition of the
order and The political situation. He
attacks the democratic party, State and
national, accusing it of bad faith and
broken pledges. Although he does not
in so many words indorse the third par>
ty movement, he suggests an indorse-
ment of it in language that more than
''squints'' in that direction. 1t is to be
hoped that the Virginia Alliance may
not commit itself to course which it's
individual members may hereafter have
bitter reason to regret.

FIRE SWEPT ROCKAWAY
The Loss Estimated at One
 Million Dollars.
TWO LIVES KNOWN TO BE LOST.

NIrs. Phillips and Her Daughter Perished
 In the Museum-Jndignatiop Among
 the Residents Over the made equate snp-
 ply of Watar-FiremenI Injured.
 RocKAwAY, N. Y., Sep. 21.-The most disastrous confiagration that has ever visited this seaside resort was finally mas tered at o'clock last evening, after sew eral hours of hard fighting. For while it seemed as though the fire was beyond all human control, and the general belief was that 1t would burn while there was mate rial to feed it. The local fire depart ment was badly hampered in it's efforts by the lack of water. When the firemen attached their hose to two or three of the hydrants in the vicinity of the fire the pressure became so low that it was inn possible to throw a stream further than half 6 dozen feet.
 The residents here feel indignant over the revealed state of their water supply, and assert that Supervisor Smith, of Hampstead, who is president of the Queens County Water Works, which sup ply Rockaway with water, was responsi- ble for the insufficient supply. It is as serted that when Rockaway contracted for the water supply it was stipulated that pressure enough would be furnished to throw a stream 45 feet high at all times. The area burned over is from 20 to 50 acres, and where, formerly, there was 8 long line of hotels, bathing houses, carousals, etc., is now a mass of smolder- ing ruins. It was not until the reinforce ments from Long Island City, Ozone Park, Woodhaven and Morris Park had arrived that any headway was made.
 The following is 8 correct list of the buildings destroyed:
 Kingsland's Casino, Meissner's Hotel, Collins Hotel, David Fileo's Hotel, Murray 6 Datz's Hotel, Sam Myers Ho- tel and Iron Pier, Simpsons Hotel, Shu- ber's Globe Hotel, Garrison's Bakery, St. James Hotel, George Burchell's Grocery, Lipwalps Hotel, Weiskoffs Hotel and Morrison's Hotel.
 The only loss of life, so far as can now be ascertained, is Mrs. Phillips, the wife of the proprietor of the Seaside Museum, and her 6-year-old daughter. This was the building in which the fire originated, and so suddenly did the flames spread that before the woman could escape, all exits were cut off.
 The woman appeared at the window for a minute, while the flames surrounded | her on all sides. Bremen shouted for her | to jump, but she refused, and fell back | into the flames. Several of the flremer | were injured more or less seriously. They were attended by several physicians who had come here to lend their aid. The loss is estimated all the way fro m $500, ,O0O to $500, 900, but conservative 1 estimates place the sum at about l $1, ,000, 900.

CHAPTER XVIII. ON BOARD THE BRISBANE.

As 1t was now Molly's intention to organize an expedition at once in order to penetrate the wilderness of central Australia and continue on land the search which had been so fruitless on water, she resolved under Zach's ad- vice to take passage the next day on the Brisbane for Adelaide. A thorough study of the map of Australia had con- vinced French that the latter city of fered better facilities not only for f1t- ting out the expedition but also for more quickly reaching the center of the continent where it was supposed that Capt. John was held a prisoner by some of the savage tribes which roam over those almost limitless plains.
 Luckily the Brisbane was to sail the next day at eleven a. m., and after touching at Melbourne would reach Adelaide August 27. As Molly was sitting on the upper deck in conversation with Zach, a cabin boy approached them to ask, by order of the captain, whether she were in need of anything.
 'Nothing, my child," said Molly, to whom the boys voice seemed strangely familiar. Suddenly 1t occurred to her where she had heard it. For an in- stant the eyes of the two were fixed in silence, but intently, searchingly upon each other.
