A TIDAL WAVE.
Mobile, Ala, Visited by Destruc-
tive Gale.
Considerable Loss of Life ard Great Dam

Louisiana.
Storm at Mobile.

MOBILE. Ala. Oct "a southeast
gale broke here yesterday morning
about o'clock the wind blowing at
least fifty miles an hour. The wind
blew the water in from the gulf until
the river has reached Royal street,
which is four blocks from the river and
at an elevation of about fifteen feet
from the main river height There is
no possible chance of estimating the
monev damage. All the wholesale and
agricultural portion of the retail dis
trict of the city is some four feet under
water, and thousands of dollars worth
of goods have been damaged.
The pilot boat Ida Low was driven
on the wharf at the foot of st. Francis
street The bay boat Heroine was
driven on the Mobile & Ohio wharf and
almost totally wrecked. The Crescent
City, another bay boat, left Point Clear
at the same time the Heroine did yes
terday morning and has not since been
heard from. 1t is reported that three
dredges working the channel have been
lost. 1t is also reported here that
some 80 miles of the Louisville & Nash
vile road along the coast is under
water, and that the Biloxi bridge has
been swept away by the gale. Nothing
has been heard from the gardeners in
the marshes east of the city and the
worst is feared.
Telegraphic communication is cut of
in almost every direction. and from the
present outlook Mobile will be entirely
cut off from the outside world when
darkness comes. In this city houses
have been unroofed, trees blown down
and one cotton warehouse has sue
cumbed to the fury of the gale. All
the smokestacks of all the manufactur
ing industries have been blown down.
Street car traffic has been wholly sus.
pended because of the damage to the
electric wires, and the city will no
doubt be in darkness as the waves
were fast encroaching on the electric
light works. The busiest thorough
fares in the city are being navigated in
boats and persons wading up to their
arm-pits in order to save their goods.
Q 1t is conceded by all to be the worst
storm that has ever visited Mobile.
The southern part of the city presents
a scene of wreckage as if it had been
bombarded. The towers on the court
house and Christ church are tottering.

lighthouse and three men were thrown

Figures Of the Opening.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Chief Clerk
Jacobs, of the interior department, who
had charge of the Cherokee strip OPEN
ing. returned yesterday. The figures
of the opening have not been accurate
~ compiled, but an estimate of the
registration at the various booths
shows that 1880 persons applied for
certificates.
Mr.. Jacobs alleges that the presence
of sooners in the strip was due to the
fact that the army department did not
furnish enough soldiers to keep the
lines. There were three or four claim
ants for every lot in Perry, and, he
said, two or three for every desira BILE

One Fireman Killed and Several In

OMAHA, Neb, Oct. 3.-From 5 o'clock
till after last night the Omaha fire
department had a campaign that tested
it to the utmost. At 500 p. m. an alarm
brought the down town companies to

fierce blaze was raging on the stage.
During the next hour, five alarms were
sent in. While the opera house fire

Women and Badness.

Did you ever see woman that was
entirely bald? Would you marry o
bald-headed woman ?" were two ques-
tions fired at Globe. Democrat reporter.
You haven't and you wouldn't, of
course not. Then why is it that a
woman will show an utter disregard for
hair on mans head and marry him if
he has top like billiard ball when a
man wouldn't recognize bald headed
woman on the street even if she was his
own mother? Why is it that one sex
enjoys absolute immunity from bald
ness and the other is prone to it? Ii
the causes of badness attributed to
men are correct, why shouldn't they
apply to women as we'll ? I am not a
biologist and can't answer these ques
tions, but l am interested in finding the
man who has ever seen a woman that
was entirely bald. And, then, when I
lind him want to find the one who
would marry bald headed woman.
Then I'd like to know why they don't
get bald

TO MEET IN SEPTEMBER.
Congress VIII be Called Together to Pass
a Tariff Bill.

Congress Will be Called Together to Pass
Tariff Bill.
A Washington despatch says that there
seems to be good authority for the state
ment that President Cleveland will call
an extra session of the Fifty third Con-
gress about the first of September.
information to this effect has been pretty
thoroughly circulated among the
members of the House, who have been
notified to so shape their private affairs
as to be able to attend the meeting at
that time. The officers connected with
the House of Representatives are so
shaping their work as to be ready for
meeting at that time. New members OF
Congress have received tips to be
prepared to undertake their duties three
months earlier than usual. The reason
assigned for the calling of an extra
session is the absolute necessity OF
passing tariff bill to become a law early
next year. Democratic Congressmen
are said to be anxious to get such bill
on the statute books as soon as possible,
so that any temporary ill effects may
pass away before the elections Of 1894

The Inventor of the Long Range Rife Ex-
pires Suddenly. :,
General Hiram Berdan, inventor of the
famous Berdan long range powder torpe-
does and rifle, died suddenly at the
Metropolitan Club house, Washington,
d. c., while engaged in game of chess
with Admiral Crosby. He had been
suffering with angina pectoris. General
Berdan was born at Plymouth, Mich,
about 1923. He was Colonel of the First
United States Sharpshooters on Novem-
Der 30, 1861, and was breveted Brigadier
General of Volunteers for gallant and
meritorious services in the battle of
Charlottesville, and Major General of
Volunteers for bravery at the battle of
Gettysburg. General Berdan was for
several years in Russia, and because of
his services to that Government was
awarded considerable sum of money.
He entered into contracts with Russia
for furnishing the Cars army with
large supplies of the celebrated rifle bear
ing his name. n

COL. DOUGLASS INDICATED

At last a just man has been vim
ticated. 1t has now come to light
that Col Johu w. DOUG ass WAS
right when he refused to remove
democ ats from Office when the re-
publican party in this city made
such a bue and cry that there were
more democrats in Office under the
District Government than there
were republicans. Col. Douglass
informed Ex-Presldent Harrison
that his position was right; that
there were more republicans In Of
flee than there were democrats,
but, II seems that the leading re-
publicans of this city could not be
convinced.
The present Commissioners have
made an investigation and it has
been acertained that the republl-
cans are drawing thirty thousand
dollars pear year more tan the
democrats.
The presumption is that there
will be discharge of republicans
to equalize matters under the Dis
tricG Government.
The BEE always maintained that
Col. Douglass was one of the best
Commissioners the DistI let ever
had and these republicans who
asked for his removal will soon
see their error.

EMANCIPATION DAY, APRIL
10Th. WHY THE DAY is CEL-
EBRATED INSTEAD
OF JAN. 1st.

Why do the colored people OF
the District of Columbia celebrate
the 10 day of April as the ami.
versary of their freedom and en-.
tlrely ignore the 1st day ofJanuary
when the Emancipation proclama.
tion of Abraham Lincoln went into
effect? The question ia often asked
and deserves to be answered. The
Act of Congress approved April 16
1862 entitled an "Act for the release
of certain person held to service or
labor in the District of Colum bian
abolished slavery in the District
and provided for the payment
for the loss of slaves nv
all persons then loyal to
the United States. Three com.
missioners were authorized to be
appointed by the President to o. IS
upon claims of slave owners for
their emanelpated slaves and the
sum of one million dollars was ap-
p'opriated to carry the Act into
effect. 1t was further enacted that
the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars be appropriated 20 aid such
slaves in emlgrating "to the Re-
ublics of Hayti or Liberia or such
other country beyond the limits of
the Uuited States as the President
may determine" This is the sub
stance of the bill. The glad tidings
of this law liberating the slave
population of the District of Col
umbia can be better imagined tnan
described as the increase of graft

the throne OF God for the priceless

ABE BuZZARD FREE.
He Studied Theology in Prison and VIII


NO StuOieu IheolOgy In Prison and Will
Lecture.
Abe Buzzard, the famous Pennsyl
vania outlaw, has been pardoned out OF
the Eastern Penitentiary, Philadelphia,
and is now once more free man, Gov.
Pattison having signed his petition,
granted by the Board of Pardons. Abe
has been studying theology in prison,
and it is said he will lecture on religion.
He became close student in prison.
with bent towards religious reading.
Theology was his hobby. He is man
of much natural intelligence, now, un-
able to steadily follow his trade as car.
pender, he is about to make the expert
ment ofappearing as lecturer. Buzzard
has confided his plan to friends who en-
couraged him in the idea. He is now
about 45 years Of age. 1t is not his in
tention to talk in large cities, but will
modestly begin in the prosperous towns
OF his own county. There he is so well
known that he hopes to be successful in
a modified degree. at least. The farmers
whose wealth was his plunder in by
gone days will have an opportunity to
hear him talk religion.
Back in the woods of the Welsh
mountain region is woman and three
children who form Abe Buzzard's fam
lily. They have had hard fight for ex-
istence while the husband and father
was being punished for his crimes. But
the wife has always waited for the time
that she could again have her husbands
support She is an Intelligent woman.
An incident showing her devotion was
told when Buzzard's release was an
nounced. About two years ago he had
a severe spell of sickness and one of his
fellow prisoners, fearing that he was
about to die, wrote to Abe's wife at her
Lancaster County home. She was al
most penniless, but had plenty of cour-
age. Taking her oldest child by the
hand, she started to walk distance of
eighty miles from her home to Philadel-
phia. She reached the penitentary in
an exhausted condition, foot-sore and
half starved. When her husband re-
covered his health, she was given a rail
road ticket and sent back to her noun
tain residence.
