ing Fashion.
ME. WASHINGTON, N. H., Aug. 3d.
The wind and rain storm, which was
general in the White mountain region
Thursday and Thursday night, was the
most severe at the summit of Mt. Wash
ington for the past twenty years at
this season of the year. The day storm
was northeaster, and the wind blew
as high as 1876 miles an hour. During
the evening the wind changed to north
west, and from 10 o'clock until day
break blew perfect hurricane.
Between two and 8 o'clock Friday
morning the wind reached its highest
velocity-150 miles per hour. Summit
house rocked and creaked from top to
foundation, and the much alarmed
guests left their beds and gathered
about the Office stove. The building
being braced and bolted to the rocks,
no serious damage was done other than
the blowing down Of a chimney on the
roof and the breaking Of many panes of
glass in various buildings. Portions of
old Tip-top house, which has quartered
more prominent people than any other
house in New Hampshire, was demol-
ished. No one dared venture out as
one could not stand on his feet

RECEIVER HAWKINS
1eiis Graphic Story About the Manage.
ment Of the indianapolis National BANK


mont Of the indianapolis National Bank
INDIANApoLIs, Aug. 28.-Receiver
Hawkins appeared before the state tax
commissioners Friday with statement
of reasons why no taxes should be as
sessed against the suspended Indianap-
oils national bank. The story is quite
graphic in depicting the rottenness OF
the bank, running back for years. The
receiver showed that in April last the
curled hair works, the glue company
and eleven individuals had drawn
$500, 1852 of bank funds, the same repre-
sented by notes.
Much of this paper had been issued
from Ave to seven years ago, and In
most instances renewed every ninety
days. Not less than se5O,oOO of the
$500, 1e2 was secured from five to seven
years ago. The notes were in the
names of the employees of the plants,
and the tax duplicate does not show
that these men are worth anything.
There was no prospect OF realizing
more than $40, 900 of the entire amount.
In connection with the cabinet works
and its associate plants there was $780,
B03 worth of paper on April /. Since
then the aggregate has increased.
The office Desk Co., for example. had
81, 440 on April 1, and when the bank
failed this had been increased to S44,-
DOO The Coffins held nearly all the Of
gees in these companies, and they had
branches in other cities which were
not extensive concerns From the best
information obtainable, on April 1, be-
fore hard times came on, the Indian
apolis Cabinet works paper, at time
when there was sale Of stock, was
not to exceed $4,000 More than hall
Of this paper is now worthless.
Mr.. Haughey held mortgage Of
$3.50, 900 to secure the bonds and cover
any property which the company might
have in New York, Boston and London,
but it was not intended to cover the
indianapolis plants. There was $780,
900 of other worthless paper in the
bank on April 1, on which date the
bank was carrying 5000, 900 Of this kind
of paper. All of this was returned al
good to the county assessor, when II
should have been charged off as worth
less.
On the day it failed the bank had
$500, 900 in worthless paper. Claim was
also made by the receiver that the divi.
dend of 3 per cent. declared July wal
illegal and should be paid back by the
recipients. The receiver gave it as his
Judgment that the bank had been in
solvent for years and that the stool
sold high simply because its real value
was not known. The stock was really
without value and damage to 1T
holders, as will be apparent
when par assessment viii
be made to pay obligations. Th'
receiver asks the state tax com
missioners to relieve the bank of abou
$1,000 in taxes, but admits that there i
no relief from the tax for the last hal
of 1892.

A CYCLONE
Sweeps Up the Eastern Coast
From the Tropics.
wrcclsagc Litters tho Coast for Hundreda
of Miics-The Loss of Life at Sea be-
yond Estimatlon--The Gale Blew
Forty Eight Miles an Hour.

New YORK, Aug. 25.-Far from COM
plete at midnight is the record OF the
cyclone in which this city and the whole
North Atlantic coast swayed and rock
ed on Wednesday night and Thursday
morning for eleven awful hours. But tho
record is bad enough, and persons do not
need to wait for the coming Of tho
dead ut sea and the computing OF
the loss ashore to realize the visitation
of an atmospheric terror which Is
popularity supposed to be confined to
the tropical climes. The storm came
from north of the West Indies In q
gale which blew in the city thirty-eight
miles an hour, on the sea coast for
ty-tive and much more than that q
hundred miles out at sea, there was o
rainfall of g. So inches. In the swirl
ing mass of rain houses were unroofed,
frame buildings were demolished,
chimneys came toppling down and per
sons reused from sleep fed shrieking
for their lives.
Along the river front shipping broke
its moorings and went careening out
into the darkness Trees in the city
streets went crashing down by hum
dreds, and Central park after the storm
looked like wood through which
heavy artillery had been playing for
hours. An example Of the violence of the
storm is shown by the fact that the
bird life could not survive. The grass
beneath every tree which was rocked by
the wind was Uttered with lifelesa
sparrows. On the sea coast the storm
broke with unprecedented fury. From
there comes stories of adventure and
miraculous escapes which read like
romance.
Merry-makers in Murray's pavilion,
at Rockaway, who were needless of tho
hurricane, suddenly found themselves
dancing in two feet Of sea water. A
pile had been dashed against the side
of the building, and let in the waves

seeking sleep after the evening exer
cises, suddenly found the canvas tents
Tapping about their ears, and then
soaring skyward. Panic ensued, and
pandemonium ragged in the great camp
ground until morning came. The
board wall at Asbury park was a toy
for the wind, and is wrecked in many
places.

will have to be rebuilt. Guests a
Coney Island hotels had to fly in thei,
night garments, and guests at Asbury

full. There will perhaps b,
more to tell Saturday, for thu

Opposed by Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, Aug 26-Secretary
Carlisle Friday sent to Senator Voor-
hees letter touching the bill to extend
the time during which whisky may lie
in bonded warehouses before penalties
accrue. The secretary condemns the
proposition, saying that it would afford
no relief to owners of goods In customs
warehouses, and he concurs in the view
of the commissioner of internal revenue
that the amount of penalties assessed
and to be assessed upon spirits in bond
ed warehouses is not sufficient to justify
special legislation.

CeSles and the Government should Mahe
Efforts to Relieve tho Ranks Of the Id1e
by Undertaking Public improvements.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.--Statesmen in
Washington are discussing the sugges
ton made by labor leaders in Cincin.
natl for the city government to give the
unemployed work upon public improve
ments that have been authorized until
there is demand for labor by manu-
facturers and others The idea Is
warmly endorsed. Men from all sections
of the country believe 1t is plan which
all large cities should adopt, and II
some move can be made whereby the
federal government can get some sur.
plus money it will set tho example and
order work to begin upon certain pub
lie improvements. At present there ID
no surplus in the United States treas
ury worth mentioning, and the treas
urer is paying out the gold reserve to
meet current expenses.
Wednesday mornings Washington
Post has an editorial upon the subject
suggested by Cincinpati, in the course
of which it says: "There are few states
and few great cities that might not fur.
nish temporary relief at least to many
men who are now looking forward to q
winter of enforced idleness. These
men, instead of being driven upon the
road to tramp for q living, should be
provided for where they are, or SO dis
tributed where work is to be
done as to be afforded the chance
Of making an honest livelihood
It is not the duty of the general gov
ernment to bear burden that proper
ly belongs to the several states, al
though to the extent Of its power II
might expedite certain public works al
a measure of relief. But the disposition
to shift responsibility in the matte,
upon the government at Washington il
not to be encouraged. There should be
no concentration Of the labor element
under any paternal supervision. The
states should take care of their own,
and as a rule they are abundantly able
to do so.
