In a short time the windows of the neigh

WIND AND WATER Do GREAT
DAMAGE.

Pensacola, Fla, oct. 2-The most
destructive storm that Pensacola has
experienced in tlt past twenty years
began at 6 o'clock yesterday morning
and ragged with increased fury until
"a late hour in the evening.
Hard rains fell Saturday afternoon
and Sunday morning. Yesterday the
wind began to freshen and the rain
increase in force. Between = and 3
p. IN. the storm reached its climax, the
wind having reached a velocity Of six
ty-slX miles an hour. Tie rain fell in
torrents and swept in binding sheets
through the street.
No loss of life IS reported but upon
every street uprOored trees, broken
fences and roofless buildings testify to
the storms force.
Tht large building of Warran & Com
pany. stored with cured fish. was blown
into the bay. The loss is great. Dwell
liug~ and contents were lifted from
tier foundations and dropped into the
bay Three big barks were blown on
the beach. The steamships taking on
cargo ran down to the lower bay,
where they had plenty of scaroom.
Every stick of timber in the bay was
east adrift. Railroad communica-
lions are cut on. The mail train on
the Pensacola & Atlantic road, which
left here for Jacksonville yesterday
morning at $50, could get no further
than Bohemia on the bay shore and
was con PEELED to return. The train
OF. the Louisville x Nashville also en-
countcrcd wasbouts and was compelled
to return. All telegraph eommunica-
cations were cut of bcfort 1 o'clock

Washington. oct. 3.-The latest Tea
ture Of the compromise talk IN the
senate today concerns the state bank
tax repeal Evidently this provision
has been brought forward to overcome
objections OF the southern democrats
10 an issue of bonds to swell the gold
reserve, 1t is certainly alluring to
some of them and may even suffice to
reconcile them to the obnoxious bond
issue, for it is argued that by the re
establishment of state bank circuIa-
ton the national bank system would
be crippled, and therefore the proposed
bank issue would not iuure to the
benefit Of the national banks.
Also it is urged by the promoters of
the Voorhees, repeal bin the democracy
would carry out another of its plat
form declarations,
With all the talk it cannot be per
ceived that there has been any dis
tinct move towards any actual compro-
mise; even the senators who are fore
most in the effort to reach a compro-
mise say that no forward move in that
direction can be taken unless it is
shown by private consultation that
the plan can command the support Of
the majority of the democratic sena-
tors.
II that shall appear, they say, then
a caucus viii be called and the meas
ure viii bc brought forward and in
dorsed as a purely democratic meas

Washington, Oct. Representative

Tor the investigation Of the sugar trust.
1t is currently asserted and believed
that the American Sugar Refining com.
pdny, a corporation organized and ex.
listing under the laws Of the state OF
New jersey, and otherwise known as
the sugar trust, has in violation of law
and against public policy created a
gigantic trust; and
Whereas, 1t is SO asserted and be.
lieyed that said corporation, by the usc
Of watered stock, by unfair compe-
tition, and by illegal combination, had
crushed out legitimate competition to
an extent which gives it the power IL

to advance the price Of the manufac-
tured articles at will, thus throttliug
the can and beet agriculturists with
one hand and graSping the purses of
all h%ouseholders and consumers OF
sugar with the other; therefore be it
Resolved, That a special committee
of five members Of this house shall be
appointed by the speaker-one Of whom
shall be drawn from the committee on
commerce and one from the committee
on Judiciary which special committee
shall have power to sit during the SEES
sions of the house, to send for persons

company and the methods " which
it is conducted, its effect upon agricul-
ture and commerce, as wei as upon
the enhanced cost of one of the neccs-

The resolution further ~autAorizcs the
committee to secure the aid of the
department of justice iu its iuycstiga-

port a bill to annul the corporate ok

JUDGE LOSES JURISDICTION.
Mrs. NitchelIs Case Sent to the Cir
court Court.

Mrs. Mitchen's Case Sent to the Cir,
court Court.
Milwaukee, Oct Judge Mann to-
day ordered that Mrs. Martha
MitcheH's proceedings in his court
against John l.. Mitchell for the APP
pointment Of another executor of the
estate of Alexander Mitchell be dis
continued IN his court and certified to
the circuit court. on the ground that
he was a depositor in the Marine bank.
Judge Mann, in probate court, this
morning heard arguments in the matter
of the contest between Martha Mitchell
and John L. Mitchell in regard to the
annuity of $4,000 guaranteed her for
life in exchange for the homestead on
Grand avenue Samuel Howard ap-
peared for the petitioners and Judge
Noyes for Mr.. Mitchell.
The petition states that John l.
Mitchell has never been released from
the obligations rs executor Of the viii
Of his father, Alexander Mitchell. It
asks that he be removed from that
position; that another executor be APP
pointed and that John L. Mitchell be
restrained from selling or m~ortgaging
any Of the property in his possession
The petitioner asserts that none Of
the ~legacies provided for under the VIII
have been carried out, and that all Of
the property Of the late Alexander
Mitchell is subject to a settlement Of
these Ieglcies,, after which the residue
only goes to John /. Mitchell.
Judge Mann heard the arguments
and then decided that, being a de-
( positor in the Mitchell bank and there
fore interested in the management of
its affairs. according to the statute
he had lost jurisdiction and could not
sit i'm the case. He ordered that all
the documents and papers in the case
be certified 80 the circuit court, there
to be disposed Of according to law.
After the papers in the case have
been certified the case will be brought
in Judge ~Johnson's court. this week on
injunction proceedings restraining Mr..
Mitchell from selling or mortgaging
any of his property until his liability
as executor may De determined.
If the injunction should succeed it
may seriously hamper the resumption
of the Marine bank, which is now
being arranged among the creditors.
1t would tie up all the unincumbered
property on which it is expected to
raise money to put he bank on its
feet.
However, if Mrs Martha Mitchell
joins in the movement for resumption
liz is likely all these proceeding, will be
dropped, 1t is understood that hers is
a friendly suit meant to protect her
