CONVENTION POSTPONED.
The Carriage Builders Association
Will Not Meet.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 2.-Announce-
ment was made on Saturday last under
a st. Louis date hat there was a posi-
bility of a postponement of the national
convention or carriage builders, which
was to have been held In that city dur
ing the second week OF October. AS a
sequel to this announcement the follow
ing statement has today been issued by
Henry c. McLear OF his city, secretary
n treasurer OF the Carriage Builders
National association:
THE executive committee, after full
consideration. with the consent OF our
St. Louis. Mo, and at the request OF
many OF our members throughout the
country have postponed the convention
OF this association, which had been
called for October l3, IL and 10 of this
yea until 1897. Therefore there will be
no convention this year. The reason
why the committee has taken this ac-
ton. besides the requests of the mem
beers who have always attended the con.
vention, many OF whom have been an.
nual exhibitors, are that the extreme
business depression, coupled with the
exciting national election. d II

Gainesville, High Springs, Newberry.
Lake City. Br~onsford, Calihan and
many others. Brick and frame build
ings were blown down and near Gala
han several children were killed In a
school house, which was wrecked. The
wind Is report ed to have reached a We
locity of 100 miles en- hour, and there
was widespread destruction In the path
OF the storm. 1t Is impossible yet 10
learn how many persons were killed,
but II is believed the dead will be fully
100 and that many others We're injured.
Much damage is reported at Jackson
Vile, but no loss of life. as the center OF
the storm seems TO have passed TO the
north Of that city. The storm was not
felt here. but after IL left the gulf Mon
day night a high bank OF air rushed In
from the north, blowing almost a gale
and lowering the temperature about %
degrees.
Later reports received show that the
storm WAS a twisting tornado that
moved with great velocity from the gulf
to the Atlantic coast. In many places
buildings were wrecked in less than a
minute, and soon afterwards the sun
was shining brightly. The loss of prop
erty cannot now be estimated. but IL Is
very heavy. not only In the towns, but
on h farms where the crops were de-
stroyed.
