PITTsBURG WINDSWEPT.
Storm Does Much Damage in the
Smoky CITY.


P1TTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 1S-This city
was swept by a heavy rain storm to-
night that did considerable damage
Several buildings were blown down
and telegraph and telephone wires seri-
ously interfered with. The rainfall
was remarkable, 45-1GGths of an inch
falling in twenty minutes. Street car
travel was interrupted for a time. and
the many small losses throughout the
city will aggregate a large amount.
A special from Bradford, Pa, SAYS:
An electric storm, accompanied by hail,
passed over this section at Z o'clock
this evening. At Custer City hail
stones fell measuring six inches in cir
cumference. Considerable damage was
done.
Later reports show that the storm
did more damage than was supposed.
The tow boat, Lud Keefer, was sunk,
and the cook, Millie Colbaugh, was
drowned. Her body has not been re-
covered. This was the only fatality
reported. The boat is total loss and
is valued at $4,000. The Decotah, an
excursion barge, was also sunk, but
can be raised without much damage.
The Little Bill, the tow boat of Home
stead fame, which towed the Pinker-
ton guards to take possession of the
Homestead Steel works on the morn
ing of the battle with the strikers in
1892, was badly damaged, and other
craft sustained injury from the wind
The loaded coal now In the harbor
waiting for a. stage of water that will
float it to Southern ports, amounts to
26,OO0,OGO bushels, and it is thought
that large amount of this has been
lost. Fleets Of loaded barges were
broken up by the force of the gale, and
the extent of the loss will not be
known until tomorrow.

HATCH is TRACED.
Holmes, AccompIice Was Il Resi-
dent of Providence.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. 49,
Inspectors in the Providence police
department have just made the dis
covery that Hatch" the much
wanted accomplice of the notorious
H. H. Holmes, formerly lived in this
city, and that his deserted wife is
living here at present. They have
suspected for some time thai" Hatch"
and one Charles Brace, formerly a
photographer here, were the same
person, but were unable until a day
or two ago to confirm their sus-
picionS.
Samuel L. Kirk, of this city, is
brother-in-law of Brace. Mr.. Kirk
willingly admitted that his sister
married Brace, alias Hatch" twelve
years ago at Moore's Forks, small
place in Clinton county, N. Y, near
the Canadian frontier. He was con-
sidered a model young man, and
was school teacher. Twelve years
ago he was studying for the min
istry.
Soon after the wedding a DR.. Mud
gett came to board in the Brace
family, and young Brace and the
doctor became fast friends. One
day, however, the elder Brace and
Dr. Mudgett quarreled, and the lat
ter moved.
Young Brace and his wife soon
after this went to Boston, where Brace
arranged to go into the grocery busi-
known as Brace & Wall. One day
Brace was reported missing and it was
found that he had taken with him all
the firms available cash. Soon after
wards he appeared in this city, hav-
ing secured a position with a photog-
rapher named Rose. He subsequently
took charge of Mr.. Roses Narragan-
sett Pier office, and while thus en-
gagged, one day after kissing his wife
goodbye, as usual, he left the city and
never returned. In this instance also
he had collected as much money as
possible before his departure.
In Chicago Brace assumed the name
of Charles Gilbert. Through a brother
who lived in Chicago his identity was
established and it was learned that
he had married a nineteen-year-old
girl and was employed in one of the
offices of the Standard Oil company.
Mrs. Brace followed him to Chicago
and laid the case before his employers.
They called Gilbert in and she recog-
niZed him, but he refused to give
either his wife or his employers any
satisfaction, and the next day, with
his second wife, he left Chicago.
Mrs. Brace S1en came back here.
T afa
woman whom Brace married in Chica-
go was not with him, and Mrs. Brace
advanced the opinion that she became
a victim of Holmes

conspicuous. The actual ceremony was
slightly abridged, owing to the alb

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, Aug. 18.-The
fourth annual session of the Catholic
summer school closed this evening,
when Rev. john s. BeIford, of Brook

being 'The Church and the Republic"
He said: "The true church must

Catholic church is the friend of every
legitimate government but. it is in

church, like man, finds ,one form of
government more favorable to it's in
tereSts and development, but she sue

teaching obedience to authority and
by fostering every good gift with
which God has blessed man. She recog-
nlzes no divine right to rule indepen-
dent of justice, or the will of the peo-
PIE, and she teaches that when rulers
become unjust and cease to regard the
rights OF the people they become ty-
rants, punishable by God and by the
people. The church cannot interfere
with the state, but she can say that

upon the American republic as a legiti-

it is an ideal government. She be-

government in which church and state

GRIEDSTONES,
Discoveries in South Dakota Will
Break Up the European Mon

New York World.
A discovery has been made in South
Dakota which will give employment to
thousands of people in the United
States and keep in this country many
millions of dollars. The new industry
is that of making the finer grades of
grndstones, which have hitherto been
imported from England, Bavaria and
Eranee. Quarries of stone have bNen
recently found which supply stone
equal to the finest grade imported.
Specimens of the grindstones have been
submitted to all the well-known ex-
pertS, who have agreed that no better
grade of stone is in existence.
For the higher class of grinding, such
as nne cutlery, razors, surgical instru-
ments. ETC., a stone is required which
,Wtll cut quickly so as not to take the
. temper out of the steel. This is work
for Which the new stone is peculiarly
lifted. Some beds of the stone are SO
hard as to supply the place of emery
wheels. One firm of machinists in
New England has given orders to their
London agent not to buy any more
grfndstones. They consider that the
american stone is perfectly adapted to
/. their needs,

lble: At present the stone is no cheap

CASTLE at Sixty-third and Wallace

AT 2 p. m. the fire is under control.
It did not extend beyond the ''castle."
This famous building has for some

ground floor, by drug store and small
restaurant, and it was in the latter
that the fire originated. The interior
of the building was practically ruined.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 19-The
Gumry hotel, 1875 to 1888 Lawrence
street, was wrecked by a terrific ex-
plosion at 1910 this (Monday) morn
ing. The rear half of the building, a.
five-story brick and stone structure,
went down with a crash. The hotel
was crowded with guests, and many
of them must have been killed, as
we'll as the entire force of hotel en-
ployes, who were sleeping in the
portion of the building which fell.
On both sides of Lawrence, from
Seventeenth to Eighteenth streets,
and on Laramier, directly back of
the hotel, the plate glass windows of
the business houses We're blown in
and number of pedestrians were in
jured by falling glass. The fronts of
many buildings in the vicinity were
badly wrecked.
The hotel structure for 100 feet
along the alley and extending rs feet
toward the front is mass of
debris. Brick and plaster are piled
in heaps twenty feet high, and from
this mass Of wreckage can be heard
the means Of the injured and dying.
AT 1885 five injured persons had
been taken out. They were all in
mates of the upper story and sank
down with the floors, escaping more
fortunately than those below, who
are still buried in the ruins. The
firemen are working hard, but so
far making little progress. The re-
naming portion of the building from
which the guests are being removed
by ladders as fast as possible, is ex-
pected to fall at any moment, and
precautions to avert further loss of
life adds to the difficulty in reach
ing the dead and injured.

MONKS AS BREWERS.
Difficult Question for SatoIIi to
Decide.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-It is un-
derstood that Mgr. Satolli is giving his
attention to the question raised by the
petition to himself for the suppression
of the brewery conducted by the Bene-
dictine monks at Beatty, Pa, with a
view to harmonizing the differences
so as to placate the complainants, and
at the same time not deal harshly with
the ecclesiastics who conduct the brew
cry. He is giving his attention to the
petition not from the point of view of
the petitioners, but also considers the
fact that the monks are native Ger
mans who cannot see the harm in the
drinking of beer made after the man
ner pursued in the F'atherland. The
effort will be to settle the dispute
without any formal decision.
