CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
SHEPARD NUMBER OF THE NEW
 ALABAMA IS 290.
Identical With That of Her Famous Pro- totype Which Bore the Flag of
 Semmes in Every Sea.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Secretary Her bert this morning announced that the un- named ships under construction will be named as follows: attleships-Alabama, Illinois and Wisconsin. Gunboats-An- napolis, Marietta, Newport, Princeton, Vieksburg and Wheeling.
 The Alabama is the name given to the vessel heretofore designated as battle ship No. s, building at the Cramps yards, Philadelphia. It is a curious coincidence that the shipyard number of this vessel is No. 290 which is the same as that used for the rebel cruiser Alabama when she was under construction in England.
 The Alabama is slightly more formid- able than the Kearsarge, building at Newport News, and is named for Secre- tary Herbert's adopted state. It is be- lieved the selection was made by the president in compliment to the secretary just as the president was understood to have named the Brooklyn for Secretary Tracy's adopted city. The gunboat Ma rietta is named for the Ohio town of that name and not for any other Marietta. The Wheeling is for the West Virginia city, the Princeton and Vicksburg for battles of those names and the Annapo- lis and Newport for the naval stations in Maryland and Rhode Island.

TORNADO IN TEXAS.
ALONG THE PATH OF THE DE-
 STROYER OF MAY.
Houses Demolished and People Wounded. Reports Are Indefinite-Track Not
 More Than Fifty Feet Wide.

Sherman, Tex, Oct. 2S-A tornado orig mated about 5:15 D. m. today, near Farm ington, sixteen miles southwest of Sher- man. After forming, the tornado took a northeasterly course, passing about three miles east of Sherman, and was seen by hundreds of people in this city. The usual phenomena were presented. The barom- eter registered 29.04, six points lower than 1t made on May 15, when the disastrous storm visited this city.
 The first destructive work was noted twelve miles southwest of sherman, where the tornado demolished a tenant house on the farm of George Duke. No one was hurt and the tornado rose, strik- ing again at a point about four miles southeast of Sherman, where 1t demol- ished a tenant house on the farm of Jim Paris, occupied by a family named Hays. Four members of this family were se- riously hurt, and it is reported that Cal Hays back is broken. Several persons telephoned from suburban residence in that neighborhood asking that searchers be sent out to look for persons who are missing. Requests were also made for physicians, bandages, stimulants and other articles necessary to care for the wounded. Reports of the number wound ed are very indefinite. A man who was in the Paris field is among the missing. The track of the storm was not more than fifty feet wide.
 A report has just come in that Lov- ings school house, four miles east of Sherman, was unroofed.

 Sold for the Sinews.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-A novel contribution to the national campaign fund of the democratic party was received today.
 MT. w. M. Hoyt, head of the firm of w. M. Hoyt & Co.,, importers, manufacturers and wholesale grocers, gave, through the county committee, direct to MT. Bryan a house and two lots at Lincoln, Neb. MT. Hoyt says: q am rich in real estate that cannot be sold, and poor in cash that is so hard to get. For this reason donate that of which I am over-supplied. have conveyed the property to Mir. Bryan's name, thinking that under the circum- stances he could realize more cash for the party than if made to the committee on finance. The abstract herewith shows good title to me. The property will no doubt be worth more than it Is if MT. Bryan is elected and we are to again have prosperity. Otherwise, as now, 1t will re- main unsalable."
 MT. Bryan, on being notified of the novel campaign contribution, expressed his appreciation of the spirit shown by MT Hoyt and then turned the deed and abstract of title over to Chairman Jones, who will sell it and put the proceeds in the democratic campaign fund. The property is worth about $18,000.

"A SUFFICIENT LESSON"

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-On learning of the ar- rest of the two young men charged with being implicated in the egg-throwing in cident of yesterday, MT. Bryan at once wrote County Chairman Gahan as fol- lows:
 Dear MT. Gahan: I wish you would ask for the release of the boys arrested for throwing eggs. I am sure it was an act of thoughtlessness, and their arrest has doubtless been a sufficient lesson to them and others. Yours truly,
 'W. J. BRYAN" The eggs were thrown from a window of the writing room of the Metropolitan Business college, on the upper floor of the Powers building, but a few moments be- fore the march came to an end. The boys were students in the college.
 Principal Powers of the Business col lege announces that the boys will be ex- pelled from the institution.
