 Storm and It's

Many Lives Lost m Other
 Towns.

FORT WORTH, Tex, May 16.-A special to The Gazette from Sherman Tex, says:
 Sherman at 4:30 yesterday, entirely wiping out the western end of the town The loss of life is appalling. The dead are estimated alt between thirty and forty. which is a very con- servattve estimate. Many more are fatally or seriously injured. At 6 o'clock twelve bodies lay in the court house and as many more were scattered about across the deso.ate west end of the city.
 The business part of the town is de- serted and the greatest excitement 'reigns. Every available conveyance is yet in use by the searchers and workers on the field of death. As time grows later reports of greater loss of i life and property are arriving. The court house is insufficient to hold the dead and wounded. A vacaat building was utilized, hlseen eo.ored people, dead or dying, being placed there Around the building the highest ex- citement prevails and the greatest difficulty is experienced in getting the names of the victims and accurate re ports.
 The storm struck Sherman without warning on the southwest corner of the city, and cleared path one hundred yards wide along the west end of the town. Houses, trees, fences and every thing went before the terrible force of the cyclone.
 The negro part of town suffered most severely. There are probably thirty negroes kilaed.
 Ten bodies have been picked up in Post Oak creek.
 A flood of ruin attended the storm. The town is a mass of mud and float ing debris and there is much difficulty tn finding the dead and injured.
 Sherman is a town of 10,300 in Grayson county, in the eastern part of the state, on four flnes of railroad and thirteen miles from Red river. It is located in one of the richest agricul- tural sections of the south, producing corn. cotton and fruit.

FIRST BLOOD ON FRUIT Phoenix Again Is Shown
 Preeminent. Carload of .ApricotS Shipped
 from the Valley. Three Weeks Earlier than Califor- nia-VieWs of Fruit Ship
 ping Expert.

Yesterday at D. nl.. a special train left Glendale ,nlme miles northwest of Phoenix, attached being a carload of Newcastle apricOts shipped to Ch.cogO by the Arizona Improvement company and gathered in the orchards of the company, of J. w. Evans and M. L.. Smith. The car will be sent east on express train schedule and is expected to reach Chicago in four days. The fruit has been carefully packed by ex- perienced hands and is expected to reach its destination in the finest of shape and to command something fab u,ous in the way of price.
 For it is the first large shipment of apricots made this season in the United States.
 There is mot an apricot in Chicago, save only the small shipments made by express from Phoenix and there is no doubt the fruit will be gathered in by the public with the heartest vel come from pocketbooks and appetite.
 The apricot crop in the valley has been somewhat delayed, owing to the unusual cold weather, but over in Cal ifoTnia, in places where they have not been killed by frost, none are expected to be ripe for at least three weeks yet. This is on the authority of H. J. Pfuger, an. aIttaehe of the great Earl Fruit company, that handles more than any other single firm, the fruit crop of the Golden state. He is now in the city especially looking up the crop of eartly grapes, for they will be in demand when ripe. "The grape crop in some pou1tfons of California will amount to nothing this year." said Mr Pfluger yesterday. q am just from Fresno and the damage done there by frost is dreadful. Only a small per- centage of last years shipments Will this year be available, and that of course will be much later than that of this valley"
 It is the first visit of MT. Pfuger to this valley and he is much pleased with its very apparent capabilities for fruit culture He Will remain for a week at least

HIS CHARGE.
JUDGE KHaore to the Grand Jury st
Ryan Called Attention TO their
Increased Responsibilities

Judge Kilgore in his charge
to the grand jury very forcibly
called attention to the increased
responsibility resting upon the
juIies and officials N the Indian
Territory as a consequence of
the increased jurisdiction of the
courts. He appealed to the
juries to assist the officers in
making the Indian Territory q
place so uncomfortable for
desperadoes that they would be
compelled to move out. AS the
judge truly said, the reputation
of the people OF the Indian
Territory as being abiding is
now clearly within the hand of
her own citizens. They can
merit the confidence placed in
them as being able TO execute
the laws. or they can refuse to
execute the laws and have their
courts taken from them.
The juries are of the opinion,
and is every one else, that the
laws will be vigorously enforced
and offenders speedily punished.
Men that composed the grand
and petit juries of the Ryan
court this week evinced that
fact.
In speaking Of the'diffieulties
in enforcing the law. the judge
referred to the wealthy law
breaker in high social position
and stated it to be as clearly
the duty of the grand jury to
bring-such to account as it was
to indiet the worstskind of out
cast.-Ryan Record.

MARKET LETTER
Furnished the GrdmOreIte Daily BY n.
a b. Beer Of New orlesns-An Inter
estIua Cotton Statement.
Saturday, Sept. %, '96.

Saturday, Sept. 70, 'y6.
Dear Sir-The improvement
in Liverpool today was n sur
prise to trade, but was attribut-
ed to large buying orders from
this side, owing to the unfavor-
able Chronicle weather report.
Our market in response to
the advance in Liverpool open
ed 6 to 8 points higher, a gain
of 3 points additional was
established, when it became
generally known that various
places in Texas had been visited
by unusually heavy rains, which
were claimed TO have wrought
considerable damage to the
plant, as well as reducing the
grade of the open cotton. Near
the close lack of buying orders
influenced prices adversely,
thereby forcing values down Z
points from the highes, making
the net gain on the day only
4 to 6 points.
The interior movement was
lighter than anticipated, and
Texas points show a considera-
able decrease. In addition to
the above business is beginning
to revive in America, the same
being superinduced by the large
importations of gold, which
have strengthened the banks
and relieved the stringency in
commercial loans to such an
extent, that more business has
been done recently than fol
several weeks past. All thest
features are favorable to cotton,
therefore we think that pur.
chases made on weak spots and
sold on.strong periods are the
best investments that can bt
made for the immediate future
Very truly yours,
Fl. & b. BEER.

Mrs. Thompson.
Owing to the meeting conven-
ing on Saturday, the attendance
was not as large as some previ-
Gus meetings, but was. if any
thing. more enjoyable than any
yet held.
One of the most instructive in
cidents connected with the day
was the reading of a paper, pre-
pared by Messrs. Zuckerman
and Aaronson. relative to the
principal Jewish festivals,
Rosh-Hashonah and Yom Kip
pur.
A vote Of thanks. indicative
Of the pleasure resulting from
the reading of the document,
was rendered those gentlemen.
The BLACK Fridays" and
monetary panics connected
Herewith, were themes that
elected general discussion. This
led TO a brief review OF the
money question confronting us
today. 1t was suggested, we
take up this question again in
the near future, when after
proper study, we may be better
able to add new light to this in
tricate problem.
Some excellent papers follow
ed on Artemus Ward. Spoopen-
dyke Papers, Candle Lectures
and Uncle Remus." These
were written by Mesdames
Biles, Randol, Carr, and
Cruce, respectively. The fact
of the foregoing members re
spending. is sufficient evidence
of their superiority.
Regrets were expressed that
time forbade others reading at
this meeting. These. however,
will be taken up at the ensuing
meeting.
The president announced the
following program for next Fri
day:
