TWIN BOTHERATION.
Twin Sisters WOOed by Twin Broth
ers and Complications Arise.

William and Edward Sites are broth
crs and wealthy real estate men Of
Wichita. They are twins and in addi-
ton are so much alike that people who
have klCwn then: intimately for years
constantly take ole for the other. In
the same town lived two school teach
ers who were sisters and twins. The
authority of the story, A. NJ. Burton
of Kansas, who is at the Great North
ern, says that it is dlffiC ult to tell them
apart. The four twins met, foil in
love and married. Each twin married
the twin with whom he or she was in
love, though a little mixing made dis
elimination impossible.
Many stories, too long to be retold
here, are related of them during the
courtship, but suffice it for the present
narrative to say that in order to avoid
mistakes William and the young lady
to whom he was engaged assigned
Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights
as their nights for courtiEg, and Ed
called on the remaining nights of the
week, so there would be no mistake.
They were married by the same preach
er at the same time. The gentlemen
were dressed alike and so were the
ladies' The preacher got little mixed
and had to refer to his notes, bHt the
high contracting parties are satisfied
that they got the one they wanted
The father Of the boys presented them
both colts that were twins, and Mr.
Burton says any day these gentlemen,
looking exactly alike and driving horses
and buggies where no difference can
be detected may be seen in the streets
of Wichita. where they are known to
nearly everybody in town.
Well, twins have come into these
two households, and it is gravely assert
ed that each set of twins cannot be
determined from the other. They have
all four been in one house and the
visiting mother has taken two babies
home with her, and if they become
miH ed they comfort themselves by say
ing; Its all in the family, anyhow
The Children are satisfied with either
one of the ladies as q mother. When
either one of the gentlemen meets any
one Of the four on the street and it
calls out, Hello, papa" he doesn't
know whether it's his or not,

TWO THOUSAND ARE DEAD
FEARFUL RESULTS or THE STORM
ALONG THE GULF.
1t In Now Known That Two Thous-

Louisiana Coast-The Property Loss
Amounts 10 Millions.

New Orleans, Oct 5.-Ocer 1000 killed
and nearly $5,000,Go0 of property an
inflicted, Is the reccld of the great gulf
storm in Louisi&na. There has never
been anything apprc ximating it since the
country was settled. More than half
the population in the region over which
the hurricane swept is dead. Everything
is wrecked and not house in ten is left
standirg, while the survivors are left in
the most destitute condition, without
food or even clothing, for most of them
were sleeping ia their beds when their
houses were crushed by the wind or the
waves.
New Orleans, Oct. Sit is now esti-
mated that the loss of life on Grand

Oyster Bayous settlements will reach
500 to 1900 Matthew Wertze@ and
Dominick Mirgovich, two sailors, were
rescued by one of the iuggers. The
story they tell of the disaster at Grand
isle is horrifying in the extreme. They
went almost wild in giving their descrip-
tion of the terrible night and cried Bit
terly. The sea was raging all day, they
said, and toward night had increased to
an alarming degree. About 10 o'clock
in the night it had shifted to the south
west Then came the almost incredible
story. These men said they were living
on the island at the west end. Far out
at sea, as the flashes of lightning would
viyidly illuminate the darkness, could be
seen q mammoth wave ira Yelling with
wonderful rapidity towards the island.
Closer and closer j. came, and brought
with II a noiSn of thuT, ,lar On on came
the terrible wave, growing larger each
moment The island was i'll the stiffness
of slumbeP, and not human being could
be seen anywhere. These men being too
frightened to go to their homes, remained
in their boat during the terrible night.
Mortified, they watched the tidal wave
approach the island, until like fash of
lightning, it struck. Their all was dark
ness and the island as far as the eye
could reach was covered with water.
The next flash of lightning found the two
fishermen far off to the north of the
island, and, looking about in the direction
of the island they could see nothing
but a sheet of water, the island having
totally disappeared.
Mobile, Ala, Oct. 5.-On both sides of
the bay are many villages, some of which
