appeared after the call and prices fell
away until S.25 was touched, when
rally took place. The Chronicle, usual

dry weather has prevailed in almost
ali localities, that gathering OF the
crop has made rapid Roadway and that
the cotton is being freely marketed. No
rain of any moment is reported IN
Texas an San Antonio reports that
it would not now help the top crop as
the frost would kill the stalk before

damage the cotton already made.
The influence of this report was felt

market as its force was anticipated.

WIPED OFF THE EARTH.
Fate of Altata on the Mexi-
can Coast
ship Calls at an Accustomed Port
and Finds not Building Standing
ships Left on land

San Francisco, Oct. IS.-On the last
trip of the Pacific coast steamship "Ori-
zaba" up the Gulf of California the
officers and crew Of the vessel were
surprised to find one of the posts'they
make regularly wiped off the earth.
Vixen the ship reached the mouth of
the river Chilean, in the state of Sin
aloa, the little mining town of Altata,
which had stood there on the "Ori-
zaba's last voyage, was gone. Not
building was left standing.
This was one of the results of the
terrible storm which played such havoc
on the mainland coast of the Gulf Sep
TENDER 18TH and 18th The "Orizaba"
has just brought the first details which
gave comprehensive idea of the ex-
tent of the damage done.
The storm was a sort of composite
affair partaking of the natures of
tidal wave and cloudburst. Torrents
rushed down from the hills back of
Altata and met the tidal wave carried
in from the sea, and the town was OBJ
liberated Many of the mines located
inland from the coast were flooded by
the cloudburst. Fortunately the loss of
life was slight and the Altatans are now
camping in tents or rudely constructed
huts a little back from where the town
stood. Viewing the former site of the
town from the sea the most striking OBJ
jects that meet the view are the spars
of the schooners "Cometa" and "Rebec-
ca" and the German barkentine "Helen,"
which were beached by the great wave.
At Mazatian, further up the gulf, a
most remarkable result of the storm is
observed. In the middle of the main
street of Mazatian more than block
from the waters edge, sits schooner
on even keel. She rode in on the tida
wave, and when it receded was left high
and dry.
Mazatian stood the storm fairly well,
but much damage was done. Four
German barks that were so fortunate
as to be we'll off land weathered the
storm in the gulf outside. They made
port two days after the fury of the
elements had subsidized, minus all the
canvas.
So far as Altata is concerned. it is no
new thing for it to find itself off the
map. This is the third time the town
has been swallowed up by the sea-
Twice the place has been rebuilt, each
time at point further up the Culiacan
river This time the residents will build
well in from the coast, it is said.

VIII Parade Anvhow.

Chicago, Oct. I8-The Democratic
silver managers declare no permit is
necessary for their parade on October
3Ist and hence they are determined to
parade without one A decision to this
effect was reached by the managers
after hearing legal opinions on the point
involved. Chief of Police BOdenoch
does not show any sign of receding from
the position he took on Friday when the
Democratic leaders asked him to give
their parade preference over the McKin-
ley Workingmen's clubs parade, an
nounced for the same night October 2Ist.
81 do not intend that any parade
shall take place without a permit" he
said. at is plain on the face of it
that in the present excited state of the
puplic mind two parades cannot go over
the same ground with brief space
between them and leave us safe in the
consciousness that trouble will not
result"

accents of fear and despair. "There--
therel For heavens sake, keep her
from mel"
"Whom do you mean2" Percy sternly
demanded, as a suspicion of the truth,
with its CHASTITY light, broke upon his
mind
"Ellen-Ellen Wycherlyl See her,
how She stands there now, by the win
dow, from which my mother flung herl
Her hair is wet and tangled with the
weeds of the river, and her eyes-oh,
God how they stare on mel Can YOU
not see herr And there she stands,
even now, whispering of her wrong and
reckoning me to follow her into the
cold river Nay, Ellen, do not gaze
upon me so coIdly! DO not-do"-
With a prolonged and thrilling scream
the speaker fell insensible to the floor.
Search was made for the body Of FL
len, and after time it was recovered
from the bed of the river And Susan
Wvcherly, convicted by the dying words
of her daughter as well as by her own
confession, expiated her crime upon the
scaffold. For several years succeeding
these events Percy bingham contin-
ued to haunt with his ghostly. presence
the old mansion by the river, like the
peculiar spirit of the scene. The house
itself fell gradually into decay and ruin,
for none wished or dared to inhabit it
after these events, and the death ofPercy
at length left it dreary, desoate and
lonely, as it may now be seen.-Ex-

There is a terror of the town in Kan

he scorches through the streets.
There are probably more bicycles per
head of white population in Johannes
burg, South Africa, than anywhere else
in the world.
The talent IS loud in praise otthe pres
ence of mind of the young man who
hitched life-preserver to mis- wheel
when the excursion steamer broke
down.
In proportion to the number engaged
in it. cycling is by no means danger

in progress for some time, and for
tunately, there were no people passing
in or out.
AT few minutes after 4. the services
were brought to an end BY a terrible
crash in the belfry. 1t seemed to those
in the church that the tower was falling
The first crash was followed by a sec
ond in an instant, then there came a
third. The big weight had fallen
through T. three floors and into the
entry. It happened so quickly that the
congregation could hardly gasp for
breath until it had reached the ground
floor People began to rush from the
edifce; women screamed and men
turned pale with fright. The priests,
realizing the danger. called on the PEG
pie to preserve order and to leave the
church quietly They were soon as
sured By those near the door that the
danger was past. They quieted down,
and the building was emptied without
serious accident.

Portsmouth, O., Oct. IS.-A riot was

break up ball game between the
Portsmouth and Chillicothe teams.
Constables who tried to serve the war
rants were chased off the grounds by
bowling mob Of spectators and narrow
ly escaped alive. The crowd then sur
rounded the Office of Squire Cole, where
the ticket seller, Richard Thornton, was
held. They threatened to release him
and the riot alarm was turned in. The
police finally dispersed the crowd.
Over $50 arrests were made on the
charge of rioting.

PANIC IN a CHURCH.
a eive-hundred Pound Clock Weight
Falls Through Three Floors.

Milwaukee, Oct. I8.-A 500 pound
clock weight crushed through three
floors of St. Hedwig's Catholic church
this afternoon. The church was crowded
at the time, and panic ensued, in which
no one was injured.
St. Hedwig's is a Polish Roman Cath
Ollie church. Archbishop Kaiser was
administering the sacrament of confirm
alton at the time and the church was
crowded. There were over 1000 pres
ent. The tower is $50 feet high and the
weight was suspended at a height of
40 feet. The tower covers the entrance
to the edifice. The services had been
