PILLsBuRY WlTHDRAWs.
He Comes Out squarely in Favor of Mr..
Greenhalge.

Boston, Oct. 3.-Albert E. Pillsbury
today publicly announced his withdraw
al as candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination at Saturdays Republican
State convention.
Pillsbury says he would not have been
a candidate had he anticipated strug-
gle for the nomination, out he was adj
vised by men of judgement and influence
in the party that his candidacy would be
for the party interest. 1t is evident, he
says, Mr.. Greenhalge has enough dele
gates to fairly entitle him to the nomi-
nation, and perhaps to secure it. ''Un-
der these circumstances, Pillsbury says,
lit is plain to me that ought to remove
all obstacles from his path, as far as pos
sible, and as my Office and duties belong
ing to it prevent me from active partici-
patton in the campaign, ought to do all
that can be done for the shccess of his
candidacy. would not listen to the
suggestion of any combination or ar
rangement among other. candidates.
Such movement is neither good politics
nor fair play"
e. Mr.. Pillsbury in conclusion, says he is
sure his friends will concur In the view
that his proper course, in the interest of
the party. is to promote the nomination
and election of Mr.. Greenhalge, and he
has written letter to this effect.
To reporter this afternoon Thomas
N. Hart said he would not allow his
name to go to the convention for the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomination. He
will second Mr.. Greenhalge's nomination,
who is now sure to get it.

Many Lives Lost and Vast Damage Done
to Froperty-More Than a Score of
People Killed in New OrIeans-The
Orange Crop Completely Destroyed
Mobile, Ala, October 3.-The storm of
yesterday reached its height about p.
M, when the wind attained velocity of
Is miles an hour. From that time the
fury of the gale began to increase, and
the wind gradually changed from south
east to west. The rain fell in torrents
the entire day, and last night the city
was in darkness.
Mobile, Ala, October 3.-The damage
done by yesterdays storm will reach in
to the millions. In the gardeners dis
trict, across the river, dwelt % families,
whose homes could be seen from any
eminence in the city. Only one of these
homes is now seen standing. No news
has yet been received, and it is believed
that many of the inhabitants have been
lost. Three OF four hundred cattle per-
ished. The home of Stephen Walter
was swept away, and his entire family,
consisting of himself, wife Christiana,
and niece, Miss Carrie Wise, drowned.
There is only one wire out of the city.
No trains are running. At Grand Bay
four churches, and at Scranton five, were
destroyed. Houses are scattered, crops
ruined, and desolation appears on every
hand.
New Orleans, October 3.-Reports Of
the heavy storm Sunday and Sunday
night are reaching this city very slowly,
owing to the almost general prostration
of telephone and telegraph wires. The
storm extended about six miles up the
river above the city, and did considera-
BILE damage to sugar cane in that. section.
The Louisville & Nashville road is still
in bad condition. no trains having been
able to reach the city today, and the city
has been entirely cut off in mail connec-
tion with the east. Pointe-la-Hache had
to bear the brunt of the storm. Bohe-
suffered greatly. At Prescott, several
lives were lost.
At English lookout, about a mile of
track was carried away. Prairie and
lake have lost their dividing lines, and
are now one vast sheet of water, in area
hundreds of acres. The tornado ruined
the orange trees and sugar crops yester-
day.
a fisherman, who had been member
of the colony at Bayou Creek, about
seven miles back of Bureas settlement,
came to Socola, on the west bank of the
Mississippi, and reported that of 300
people who composed the colony, but 80
escaped. During Saturday the water
rose with startling rapidity. Before the
unfortunates had time to grasp any float
ing object they were overwhelmed by
the water and drowned. Of many little
cabins which sheltered the colony. bare
ly one is standing. The fisherman de-
scribed the visitation as in the nature of
a tidal wave, which swept everything
before it.
A number of casualties are reported,
but lack confirmation. The damage done
in this city and harber will exceed $780,
600. The orange crop of Plaquemine is
ruined to the extent of 100000 to 400, 900
boxes, making the money loss quarter
of million dollars.

LIKE THE WILD WILD WEST.
Guarding Pullman Trains With Revolver.
and Repeating Rifles.

Waterville, Me-, October 3.-A strange
sight in these days of peace, is that wit
messed at the Pullman trains east or west
from this city. When the train comes to
a stop man appears from the baggge car
with Winchester repeating rife in his
hand and takes a tour of the express car.
He looks under, over and on top of it to
be sure there is no one seeking to make
entrance to the American express COM
pany IS valuable freight, for there is a
heap of money going back and forth on
the trains at present and this man with
the rifle is not its only guard. There are
two more solid men in the car with the
most improved Smith & Wesson revolvers
in belt which they are obliged to wear
upon duty.

THE AUBURN LABOR TROUBLES.
Seventy Five Special Policemen Hardly
Keep the Peace.


Auburn, Oct. Sat the citizens meet

A committee of 13 was chosen to confer
with shoe manufacturers and shoe work
ers unions and offer aid toward settle
ment of the existing trouble.
The Armenian shoe workers were fol-
lowed to their boarding house again to-
night by crowd, although no violence
was offered.
In dispensing the crowd collected in
front of the boarding house the police
arrested several men and there was
great excitement. Thousands of people
were in the streets. Tonight seventy-tive
special police officers are on duty in the
business portion of the city and the SER
vices of all are needed to keep the streets
passable. The manufacturers are in ses-
sion.

More Then a Score OF People Killed
and Immense Damage to Property.
New Orleans, October ga terrific
storm struck this city late last night,
coming from the northeast and ragged all
night and part of today, sweeping to the
south from here along the line of the
Mississippi river, through the Parish of
Plaquemine to the Gulf.
The storm was one the worst which
ever visited this part of the country, and,
as far as can be learned twenty-four or
more persons were killed, and probably
three times as many more wounded, some
of them fatally.
The wind had reached velocity of As
miles an hour at s O'Clock last night,
when the anemometer of the weather
bureau was destroyed, and it constantly
increased in force until 2 a. nn., when its
velocity was estimated at 60 miles an
hour.
The crash of sheds and buildings blown
down, trees torn up and houses unroofed
caused intense alarm, and most of the
population of the city remained up all
night. expecting their houses to be. blown
down.
Below the city it was far worse. es-
pecially in Plaquemine Here the wind
reached velocity of 100 to 1875 miles an
hour, sweeping everything before it. The
parish seat of justice, Pointe la Hache,
a town of 1000 people, was the worst
sufferer.
In that town not single house escaped
injury. The court house and Catholic
church, the principal buildings in the
town, and some twenty other buildings
were destroyed, and the situation was SO
threatening that the greater part of the
people, fearing destruction in their build
ings, camped out in the street all night
in heavy rain.
In the immediate vicinity of Pointe la
Hache there are other deaths reported,
and thirteen others in the country below.
It IS probable that the mortality will
be greatly increased when news is re-
ceived from far away settlements on the
Gulf coast below Pointe La Hache.
IN the orange country of Louisiana the
crop was ripe upon the trees and about
to be harvested. 1t was completely de-
stroyed; the loss on this alone will reach
$3.50, 600 or more.
The sugar district escaped the worst of
the blow There is much damage to rice
and sugar cane.

Kennebunkport, Oct. 3.-Last evening
