interest is taken in the matter good re-
suits will follow.
Petaluma Courier: The Courier has al
ready referred to convention to be held
at sacramento on the 18th of September
next, IN the interests of plan for secur-
ing DETER roads throughout the State
ms matter has aroused great interest
throughout the Eastern States during the
past two or three years, with the result
OF great Improvement in the public high
ways ana consequent inestimable bene-
NJ 10 the public at large. The time is ripe
Ior the introduction in this State of an
EFFORT IN the same direction. All who are
interested IN this important matter should
attend the convention if possible, and the
Boards OF Supervisors in every county
IN the State should be present at any cost.
II Is their plain duty to show an interest
IN any movement so vitality important to
the interests which they have under their
control.
Marysville Democrat: There is in the
action OF the Board ofSupervisors Of Yolo
County the most positive evidence that
tne people were very much in error in
electlng them, or at least a majority of
them. At recent session they refused
10 elect delegates to attend the State Road
Convention, to be held III Sacramento
early in September These people live
near the State Capital and would be at
very light expense, while their presence
would show that they desired to keep up
with the times. But, strange to say, these
servants Of the people sent word that they
40 not desire to be represented in the
convention.
Chico Enterprise: A call has been is
sued for State Road Convention. to be
ned at Sacramento on September It'll
inns meeting is intended to further the
agitation in behalf Of good roads through
out The State, and is tathered by the Sac
ramentO County Humane Society. 1t
also has the approval of the Supervisors
OF that county, who have appropriated
means to aid the cause. The Governor,
TOO, has given the movement his approval
and encouragement. The purposes of
the convention will commend themselves
to the consideration of the people of the
State.
Ru1'di Press: Concerning the meeting
recently held in OrovilIe on roads, sew
eral speakers expressed themselves in
favor OF good roads, but were opposed to
any bonding scheme. 1t seems not to
have occurred to some of the gentlemen
who aired their views on the subject and
found severe fault with newspapers for
agitating the matter that the only way 10
have good roads is to build them. and
the only way to build them is to pay for
them.
jacksonville Pdjdr0Hida The Super
vlsors have voted to attend the State Road
convention which is to convene at Sacra-
mento on September 18th. Every Super
visor should be there. 1t promises to be
gathering that will lay the foundation
Tor the permanent Improvement OF the
roads of our State.

Dies MONIES Qowal, July 13.-At a
mass meeting held here to-day resolu-
tons demanding free and unlimited sill
yer coinage were adopted. A resolution
indorsing tax of 10 per cent. on all in
terest-bearing gold notes was also
adopted. The principal speaker was
General Weaver, who made a fierce on
slaught on men who want to revoke the
Sherman law, predicting that if the DEM
ocratic Congress repeats that law there
will never be another Democratic Con-
gress elected.

Niece of Carl schurz Insane.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Catherine Schurz,
niece of Hon. Carl Schurz, appeared in
the Insane Court to-day. 1t appears that
she has been insane for long time, and
was shipped by her relatives to New
York some time ago. The relatives there
sent her on to Chicago. Her brother
here refused to take care of her. AS she
is not a resident, the court declined to
commit her to the asylum, and directed
her brother to care for her under penalty
of desertion. He finally took her away.

WASHINGTON, July IA statement
prepared at the Pension Bureau shows
that between April 1st last, when the
present Administration Bureau took for
NAL direction of affairs, and July 1st, Il, 044
original certificates of all kinds were is
sued. Of these 2,354 were invalid certifi-
Gates under the Act of June q, 1890, and
9,043 widows certificates under said Act,
mrking total of IL ,297 original certifi-
Gates issued under that Act for the first
three months of Democratic power.
1t is also shown there were issued 1863
additional pensions under the Act of
June q, 1890, making a grand total of
1865 certificates issued under that Act
during the first three months of Demo-
cratic control of the Pension Bureau.
The total numb Der of original certificates
OF all kinds issued during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1893, was III, 628, of which
99,207 were under the Act of June d, 1890,
and pa were issued to army nurses.
There were also issued during the past
fiscal year 30, 693 certificates granting addi-
tional pensions under the Act of June 27,
1890.
During the fiscal year ending June 80,
1892, there were issued d., 2g7 original GER
titicates, a net increase to the roll of
199,90S.
As the total number of certificates
issued during the fiscal year, just closed,
is but l2l ,62S, it would seem l0I, 800 less
certificates have been issued for the fiscal
year 1893 than for fiscal year 1902; and as
the loss to the rolls during the past fiscal
year, from death, remarriage, etc., will
amount to at least $4,000, it will be seen
the net increase to the rolls during the
past fiscal year is but 81, 62S against 1897
SOS, or difference of los, go, less the in
crease for the fiscal year 1883.
This statement is made in refutation of
the statement that not single pension
certificate has been issued under the de-
pendent pension law since this present
Administration came into power.
1t was learned at the Pension Office to-
day that 1850 pensioners have been sus-
pended up to date under Secretary Hoke
Smiths recent ruling. The suspensions
were not confined to any particular To-
cality, but were well distributed through
out the country. No pensioner has yet
been dropped under the decision, for the
reason that the sixty days allowed pen
sloners in which to make proof of any
disability have not elapsed.

An English rainmaker now operating
in India has an apparatus consisting of a
rocket capable of rising TO the hight OF a
mile, containing reservoir of ether. In
its descent it opens a parachute, which
causes it to come down slowly The
ether is thrown out in fine spray, and
its absorption of heat is said to lower the
temperature about it sufficiently to con-
dense the vapor and produce limited

Over Two Thousand Perished.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4.-The Republics spe-
cial from New Orleans, summarizing the re-
suits of the gulf storm, is as follows: over
two thousand killed and nearly s., ,OOOO 900 of
property annihilated is the record of the
great gulf storm in Louisiana. There has
never been anything approximating 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 is left standing.
while the survivors are left in the most des-
titute condition, without food or even cloth
ing for most of them were sleeping in
their beds when their homes were crushed
by the wind or waves. There have been
several similar disasters on the coast At

lives. and at Johnston's bayou the loss num-
bered 900 six years ago, but
Mondays disaster far surpassed these in
horror. The weak and injured were all
killed, and i'm the settlements where the
stern was worst not child survived, and
very few women. The survivors are the
young men in the vigor of manhood. Not
one of them but has terrible story to
tell: not one but is badly bruised
and injured. They escaped mainly on
RATS or logs, floating for twenty
to ninety hours in the water, with the wind
at rs miles an hour. The deaths so far as

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 4-Never in the
history Of the gulf States has there been
such a disaster as befell the islands of the
Mississippi delta on Sunday night and Mon
day morning. Villages and towns have
been obliterated and their inhabitants en-
quilted by huge tidal wave. Grand and
Cheneire islands were the worst sufferers.
1t is variously estimated that from two
hundred to five hundred people perished on
country. The deaths at other points, all
the way from Bayou Cook to Grand island
and Cheniere will swell the total to more
than 100, according to the best informa-
tion now obtainable. At Grand Bayou not
less than twenty-sx perished.
Destitution reigns in the stricken district,
and the few stragglers who have found
their way to points in communication with
the city tell the tales of distress The Pic
ayune, this morning, at o'clock, sent a re-
lief boat to the stricken district 1t will
take day and half to reach there, as
the route is through tortuous bayous and
lakes. The following was received from the
vessel this evening: Between eight hun
dred and nine hundred lives were lost by
the storm, which struck the district at 7
o'clock Sunday evening. It was south wind,
changing to east, and increased in velocity.

till O'Clock in the morning of Monday.
1t then calmed down for a short time.
Captain Terrebonne, aided by several resi-
dents Of the island, proceeded to help the
unfortunates. He succeeded in saving six
ty persons, all of whom he placed in a
house on the island. When he saw q house
about to drift he and his companions
dragged the inmates from 1t. Twelve or
fifteen persons sought safety in the house
of Clement Bousgard. Between four hun
dred and five hundred persons according
TO a rough estimate, have been saved out
of a population of 1900. The distress ex-
listing there is terrible. Those rescued have
lost everything but life. They are sorely
in need of water. food and clothing One
hundred and fifty dead bodies were found
yesterday and buried. One hundred and
fifty luggers have gone to the bottom, to-
gether with their seins. The number of
skiffs that capsized and sunk cannot be
counted. The damage at Point la Hache
will exceed 100000"
