Lancaster, Pa, Sept. 3o.-For over an
hour last night the city and county
were subjected to the severest wind
storm ever known. It IS impossible
to estimate the number OF buildings
wholly or partially demolished or the
monetary extent OF the damage. Inc
greatest single loss Is that OF the Penn
syavania railroad bridge across the Sus-
auehanna at Columbia, nothing being
left of it but the piers. the span in the
middle and the first span at each END.
The bridge was q mile and a quarter
bong and was said to be the dargest
covered bridge IN the world.
In this city large number OF build
ings were partially wrecked and un-
rooted and the streets Uttered with de-
bris Telegraph and telephone wires
throughout the country are down or
badly tangled, but from the meagre
accounts thus far received, the country
sections must have suffered more Sc
verely than the city. From every part

Two men are reported to have gone
down with the bridge, tut this remains
unconfirmed. The bridge cost about

The fierceness Of the storm at Co

RUFF HENDERSON WAS TAKEN

\ private letter from Wilkesboro
conveys the information that Ruff
Henderson did not resign from the
Republican ticket as candidate for
State Auditor of his own accord, but
that he was taken off" He was prom
ised the position of postmaster or a
fat place if Mckinley should be elect
ed. He was told that Hal Aver would
not help to elect Linney, Pearson,
Settle or White, and would in fact
fight them unless he was assured the
full Republican vote for the job he
wanted. Ruff was literally forced off
the ticket by the Republican bosses,
who have assured the National COM
mittee that Ayers endorsement is
worth ten thousand votes for McKin-
ley, and insures the election of four
gold-bugs to Congress. Ruff expects
a big plum in return for the sacri-
flee. The Republicans do not conceal
their joy over getting Aver, and be-
licve that his aid is essential to their
success. But for the fact that ne is
a the head of the Populist Executive
committee they would never have
forced Ruff to walk the plank. They
did not make Ruff the scape goat for

DEATH or HON. cHAs. F. CRISP

The death of Hon. Charles +. Crisp
will carry grief into every section of the
Republic. He stood easily among the
foremost of public men. He was a
trained statesman, judicial, able and
wise. He was one of the best parlia-
mentarians the country has known,
winning the commentator adj regard
of all parties. Personally Mr.. Crisp
was a man of pure life, simple in his
tastes, free from ostentation, indus
trious and diligent in the performance
of every duty. He was not an orator,
but his speeches were clear-cut, direct,
full of force, and impressed his hearers
with the idea that the speaker thor
oughly believed what he was advocat-
ing and had mastered his subject
Mr.. Crisp has held the highest office
in the Republic, except that of Presi-
dent, for the office of Speaker of the
House of Representatives is immeasur-
ably greater than that of Vice-Presi-
dent. Three years ago, while filling
that great Office he was rendered an
appointment as United States Senator.
He had long been ambitious to go to
the Senate, but when the appointment
came the Democratic members of the
House unanimously requested him not
to accept, pointing out to him that,
under the peculiar conditions that sur
rounded the party in the House, his
withdrawal would be disastrous to the
party's prospects. The appeal was the
highest compliment to absolute leader
ship ever paid Speaker. Mr.. Crisp
put aside his ambition and yielded to
their request. Not even his matchless
tact and good generalship could pre-
vent the rent in the party that had
not been of his making, and his sacri-
flee availed nothing to save the party
from defeat in 1924.
Early in the present year Mr.. Crisp
announced himself candidate for the
United States Senate, and at the recent
election in Georgia very large ma
iority of the legislators chosen were
committed to his support. Within a few
months he would have been elected
to succeed Gen. Gordon, who will retire.
Mr.. Crisp was one of the ablest of
the more conservative leaders in the
present fight for free coinage. If he
had not been. ineligible to the Presi-
dency by reason. of foreign birth, he
would probably have been nominated
at Chicago for Vice-President. He will
be sadly missed in the councils of his
party and in the service of his country.

troll white men and secure his election

TO enable him to accomplish his evil
design, over 10000 whites must SEQ
operate" with his more than 100000
negroes.
WILL THEY DO IT? Are there GO,
so, 40 or even 10000 white men in North
Carolina willing to turn over their
State and county government to Rus
sell, and his 100000 negroes? Can a
few purchased leaders" whatever
they may call themselves, or however
they may lie as to their purposes or
support of this or that principle, lead
enough white men into the Russell
camp, or even into his side-shows, to
encompass the success of such plum
derers and the degradation of the
