A HEAVY WIND VI | | [:
Little Rock Almost Devastated
by a Terrible Cy-
clone.
TOTAL PR0PERTYL0SS $5o0,ooo
Many Buildings Unroofed and
Stocks Destroyed by
Water.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. ga ter
rible cyclone struck this city at 7:30 p.
m. and almost devastated the business
portion of the city. Several people are
known to have been killed and injured,
while it is feared scores of others have
met the same horrible fate. The main
portion of the business center is prac-
tically in ruins and the amount of
damage is incalculable. The total
property loss will probably approximate
100000. The cyclone was accom-
panied by a terrible storm and the
stocks of goods in those business houses
which were unroofed, though not 9TH
erwise wrecked, were destroyed by
water. The storm struck the state pen
itentiary, which stands on a hill in the
western part Of the city, with fearful
force, destroying the diningroom, tear
ing down the stable and shops, unroof-
ing the main cell building and demol-
ishing the warden's office. Several
convicts were seriously injured, one of
whom
Died an Hour Afterwards.
Down town the lightning struck the
Martin block, corner of Spring and Sec
ond streets, totally wrecking the third
floor. A man by the name of Eaton
was fatally injured there. The TILES
building was unroofed and part Of
the fourth floor of Gleason's hotel was
blown away. The worst damage, how
ever, was done to property on Mark
ham and Commerce streets. Nearly
every building in that district is un-
rooted and many are totally wrecked.
The large 3-story building at Market
and Cumberland, occupied by the B. H.
Mccarthy company, is total wreck, as
is also the 1-story building on the op-
posite corner, occupied by Max Elkans
as saloon. The third story of the old
Deming House was blown off and the
several stores under it were flooded by
water and filed with debris.
The streets are filled with tin roofs,
electric wires and other wreckage and
it will be several days before the
Extent of the Damage
can De accurately known. The large
cotton warehouse situated at Second
and Scott, owned by J. H. Bacum, was
wrecked. It fell on the Western Union
telegraph office, next door, and wrecked
it, thus cutting off all telegraphic com.
munication with outside points. The
city is in the densest darkness and the
streets are a veritable stream of mud.
Rescuing parties are busy searching for
the wounded, but list of the casual
ties is utterly unobtainable. All kinds
Of rumors are afoat, one to the effect
that the insane asylum, in which some
600 patients are confined, has been
blown down and many patients in.
jured, but the asylum is situated mile
from the city, and the rumor cannot be
confirmed. A number of escaped luna
tics have been captured near the Union
depot and this fact gives color to the

TO STOP FIRES
A Conference on the Import
ant Subject Now in Ses-
sion at St. Paul.
PROMINENT MEN TAKE PART.
Pertinent Suggestions From
the National Agricultural
Department.

the subject of preventing forest and
prairie fires is in session at the Com
mercial club. Prominent business men,
lumbermen, railroad officials and others
interested, are taking part in the meet
ing, and there is promise Of substantial
benefit to timber and prairie country
alike through the discussion and ex-
change of views.
The attendance is large enough to
afford generous encouragement to the
promoters of the conference. All the
Northwestern states are represented by
men Of prominence, also Nebraska,
Iowa, and portions of Canada.
Important Suggestions From Washington.
A letter was received from B. F. Fer
now, forestry superintendent in the
agricultural department at Washing
ton, stating that forest fires may be
prevented, by state laws, and giving
the following practical suggestions for
making the laws accomplish the de-
sired result:
State Fire Commissioner.
FirsEAppoint one state fire commits
sioner. who is to be the responsible
agent of the state for carrying the law
into effect and organizing the service,
and who is paid for his work in proper
ton to the value of his services.
Cooperation of Sheriffs.
Second-Make all sheriffs responsible
for the putting out of fires in their
county and for apprehending any in
cend1aries; give the sheriffs power to
swear in special fire wardens to act as
their deputies, with power to employ
posse, when necessary, to fight fires.
Watch Towers and Fire Patrols.
Third-Erect watch towers in suit
able locations for the use of fire wardens
and, if possible, establish Geographic
connections between them. Employ
additional special fire patrols in danger
Gus districts during the dangerous
months, July and August.
Make Lumbermen Burn Rubbish.
Fourth-Requirea all lumber operators
to burn their debris lin early spring
(May), lit can be done, because it is
being done successfully, cheaply and
willingly by some) and, if they do not
comply, have the fire warden do it for
them, charging the lumberman with
the expense.
Make Railroads More Careful.
Fifth-Require railroad companies,
who are responsible for a large share of
the fires, to use spark arresters and to
clean their ash pits with care, and
make them responsible under the law
for careless incendiarism and for DAM
ages. They should also be required to
keep their right-of-way on both sides
cleared of infammable material.
Farmers Can BE on the Lookout.
Sixth-Require settlers and farmers
to give notice of their intention to burn
brush to the fire warden, and to obey
his instructions as to the time and man
ner of doing it.
Pay Fire Wardens and Patrols.
Seventh-Pay the fire wardens and
patrols adequately from the state treas
ury and such fire fund as may be COL
lected from the parties most interested,
the lumbermen and the railroad COM

SHOE WORKERS DISCONTINUED.
Bosses Said to BE Taking stops to
Reduce Wages.

HAvERHILL, Mass, July "a, 1s94-While
the outlook in the shoe industry for the end
ing year is Frightening, the shoe makers are
discontented over the manner In which they
allege they have been treated by the bosses,
and claim to be ready for a big strike as
soon as the business picks up. The only bust
moss being done is Mckay work, and this is
not first quality, and the laboring men
openly say there are not six firms in the
city that are living up to their price list.
The announcement was made yesterday
that Spaulding & Sweet had introduced the
contract system into their factory. 1t is
claimed that when the factory was struck
three months ago the firm secured several
employees under the agreement that that they
should receive, it is said, $40 per week for
two years. and now it is reported they are
being discharged.
The firm, it is asserted, is engaging men
under the promise Of giving them so per
week for a year. The proviso, it is claimed,
is added that they must do 500 pairs of shoes
per week, otherwise they do not get their
$40. Tor every pair under hat amount, it
is said, they will be discounted two cents
per pair, while they are also to be paid tho
same amount for all they do over the 500,
pairs. \

Senators were desperate men. They
stood on the very brink of ruin. The
against them and only his slightest
motion was needed to hurl them into
the abyss. All around them the pub
lie were shouting curses and calling
for their immo lation. Their case
was of the most desperate, and only
the most desperate means could SUI
fee even to postpone their doom. In
addition, it must be remembered that
at least three of these men were open
ly hostile to the President, and on
more than one previous occasion had
gone to the limit of the opportunity
to do him injury. They had falsified
his acts and vilitied his motives and
sneered at his honor.
Some parts of Mr.. Germans speech
are simply pitiful. His attempt to
heap up obligations of personal graft
tude upon the President are the mis-
cradle whingings of a ward politician
who expects a return in patronage for
every party service he performs.
Whatever may be the obligations OF
Cleveland to the Democracy, he is
YER. little bound to individual lead
ers of the party. He gave strength
and definiteness to the party pur-
poses. His personality and his prin-
ciples afforded the rallying point. He
was nominated because he could win,
and he did win, restoring the party to
power after decades of outer dark
ness. Senator German, no doubt,
marched in the procession, but he
only gave his help in choosing the
standard bearer because he was
shrewd enough to see whose name
meant victory in 1884 and again in
1892. He admits himself that he had
no love for a policy of principle In
1888; expediency was his idea. Just
as it was in the silver fight and has
been all through this one.
One other word may be added here.
Senator Germans presence in the
Democratic phalanx has always been
productive of as much harm as good,
his notorious bad character being at
all times a heavy load to carry.

BAR OUT LIQUOR MEN
Not Admitted to Member

Order Will Be Read at the Next

ORDER OF THE COUNCIL-GENERAL
Order Will Be Read at the Next

At the next meeting of the Particular
Council of the st. Vincent de Pau confer
ences of the Catholic churches of Hudson
County, announcement will be made that the
CouncilG General Of the Society in Paris has
issued an order prohibiting the admission to
membership of any one engaged in the liquor
business. In Jersey City there arc confer
ences connected with almost every church,
the only exception, / believe, being st.
Mary's. The object of these conferences is
to assist the poor of each parish.
PRESIDENT FITZPATRICK EXPLAINS. +,
jeremiah Fitzpatrick, of New York, is one
of the best known st. Vincent de Paul men
in the country. Speaking on the subject to
a reporter last evening he said:
II was present at a meeting of the Council
General in Paris last spring when the whole
matter was taken UP and thoroughly dis
cussed. The French societies had never
passed a rule to debar liquor dealers, be-
cause men of that class never made applica-
ton Tor membership there. In this country,
however, 1t is very different. AT this meet
ing it was decided to make a formal prohi-
bition.
"For the past two or three years we have
been quietly dropping from membership
men engaged in the Objectionable traffic, and
this movement has, of course, been a~cceIer-
ated since the action of the Council General.
No public announcement of the order was
made until Sunday night at our meeting in
the Cathedral school hall, but it was trans
mitted to the Presidents of the various con
ferences throughout the country for their
guidance. When Bishop Watterson made
his emphatic stand against liquor dealers,
and was upheld by Mgr. Satolli last week, !
thought that we should be as open in our
opposition, especially as we have now the
endorsement of the highest Catholic author
ity in America.
THE OBJECTION TO LIQUOR
"The objection to liquor dealers in our
organization is particularly strong. Our
work is altogether of a charitable nature,
and in carrying it on every member is ex-
pected to do his share of active service. We
have in New York 1900 members who are
all active workers and weekly contributors.
Not one receives a salary. Last winter we
had 10. 600 families ON our relief rolls, Now,
we do'not regard liquor dealers as just the
proper persons for carrying on this work.
For instance, a saloon keeper can hardly
make'an effective agent in rescuing an I'M
fortunate man from the evils of intemper-
ance, and intemperance is one of the evils
we have to meet. SO far as our society is
concerned, the stand against liquor dealers
will be firm, and the rule against them will
be strictly carried OUT
