LEADVILLE, Col, Sept. 30.-The
Missouri miners, who arrived here last
week and were put to work in the En-
met, have been very well treated. Many
of them came with scanty clothing, and
the mine managers at once supplied
them with heavy underwear and plenty
of bedding They were willing and eager
to get to work, and are writing their
families and friends that they are more
than satisfied with their treatment and
the work. They are making from 81 to
S150 more per day than they ever re-
ceived in Missouri and have no fears
but that they will be well protected.
These accounts are from interviews
with the Missourians today.
Gen. Brooks has been notified that
quite a body of armed men, who had ap-
parently left an incoming train at Ar
kansas Junction. passed the govern
ment fish hatchery, six miles west of the
city, Monday, and stopped there to in
quire the way to Leadville. They re-
fused to answer questions and left hur-
riedly. On Tuesday another armed body
appeared at the hatchery and asked the
same question. AS Gen. Brooks be-
lieves such bodies of armed men can
have no good object in coming here. he
will place militia in such way as to
intercept any similar parties.

THE DYNAMITERS' DOlNGS
Intended to Include Damage to Secretary
Chamberlain
The Alleged Dynamiters Arrested at Mar
seilles Will Not Be Prosecuted-The
Attempts at Extradtion Fail.

SALEM, Mass, Sept. 30.-The Salem
News this afternoon publishes story with
reference to the visit of Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain secretary of the colonies Of
Great Britain, which has created sem
sation: 1t is said Mr.. Chamberlain's visit
to this country was largely due to the dis
coVery by the Scotland Yard detectives of
the dynamite plot in which lyman. Ivory
and others are alleged to be implicated.
1t will be remembered that the announce
ment by the police of their discovery was
made after Secretary Chamberlain left
England. The News states that few days
after Secretary Chamberlain's arrival at
Danvers, two detectives began duty at the
home OF Mrs. Endicott, Secretary Cham
berlain's mother-in-law guarding the
premises day and night and accompanying
Mr.. Chamberlain wherever he went. 1t was
said that this was the result of the discov
cry that a man had been seen prowing
about the house at night, but one of the
members of the Endicott family, in con-
Versation with a reporter this afternoon,
said the detectives employed to watch the
mansion were men supplied by the United
States secret service department, and were
sent to Danvers on information received
at the headquarters in Washington.
PROSECUTION DROPPED.
LONDON, Sept. 30-The Daily Mail says
the prosecution of Edward Bell, the man
arrested at Glasgow on a charge of COM
plicity with lyman in a dynamite conspir-
acy and who was later identied as Edward
J. Ivory of New York, will be withdrawn
owing to the failure of the government to
secure the extradition of lyman. Kearny
and HAYNES.

and may largely exceed that amount.
In this city the Individual losses are
as a rule comparatively small, but there
are hundreds of them, which will make
the aggregate great. The wind roared
through the streets with noise like
thunder, and houses literally rocked up
on their foundations. During the two
hours Of terror, which kept large part
of the population awake, the air was
filled with bricks, stones, slate, timber
and roofs of heavy sheet iron and tin.
while gigantic trees were ripped up by
the roots and tossed almost like toys.
The storm outside the city was scarcely
less severe, and of course the destruc-
ton Of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge
across the Susquehanna at Columbus
overshadowed all else in relative i'm
portance. The bridge, which comprised
twenty-seven spans, was completely de-
molished. 1t was insured for 100000,
and everything was carried away except
the stone piers, the single iron span
and one Of the shore spans The bridge
proper was crushed to splinters. 1t
was lifted bodily off the piers and de.
posted Just above in the water, a por-
ton resting on the piers. Not timber
was left standing 1t is settled now that
there was no loss of life, as search of the
bridge has failed to reveal the bodies
of two men who it was feared were on
the bridge when it was swept away by
the hurricane.

mitory In process of construction was
demolished.
At Brookland few miles out, the
town hall was partially destroyed and
many other buildings were unroofed and
otherwise damaged. In the outskirts Of
the city few localities escaped. The train
shed at Alexandria was blown down and
the debris Is on the tracks, hence the

Washington this morning from south
ern points on the Southern, Chesapeake
and Ohio and Atlantic coast lines, have

DEATH AND DAMAGE
The Estimates Of Loss Have All Been
Too Small

SHAMOKIN, Pa, Sept. 30.-The dam
age caused by the cyclone that passed
over this section is greater than sup
posed. 1t Is now thought that the total
losses will reach $500 The Pater-
son breaker is almost total wreck,
but the debris was saved from the
flames by the downpour of rain that
followed the wind. The damage Is
estimated to the colliery at $4,000.
Fourteen of the dwelling houses and
twenty board shanties occupied by the
mine workers were also burned down
and five of the former were burned

The Situation Up North Is Pleasing to

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3o.-The
Curry -Crimmins-S -Spreckels combination
of the local Republican party is on top
for the present, and is recognized as the
only pure Republican party in the city.
The state Republican committee was in
session today, and after long delibera-
ton, decided against the Spear-Kelly-
Mahoney faction. Efforts were made by
the committee to effect compromise,
but the Spreckels men wanted all or
nothing. Finally the committee de-
cided in their favor. The Spear men,
who are recognized by the national COM
mittee as the Republican party of San
Francisco, will appeal to the supreme
court for an order directing Registrar
Hinton to place the names of their can
didates on the ticket under the Repup-
]ican heading, and, failing in that, will
have the names put. on by petition. The
breach between the warning factions
is as wide as ever, and the Democrats
are, therefore, happy

city are blown down. The loss to ship
ping will amount to over 100000. The
most serious casualty was the. capsiz-
ing In mid-stream of the Savannah riv-
er of the Norwegian bark Rosenius, the
grounding of the Morgan bark Cab,
the drifting of the Norwegian bark r.
D. Metcalf and the loss of the tug Rob-

aground in Copper river and small
craft have suffered much, many naptha
launches and small sailing vessels hav-

is badly damaged, many bridges being
out of plumb. Thunderbolt, Mont
gomery and Isle of Hope, all resorts
near this city, were damaged by the
blow.
Later this evening telegraphic and
telephone communication has been es-
tablished with the surrounding country,
and the later reports confirm the earlier
advices of the wide extent of this morn
ing's cyclonic storm. Every section Of
the country has been heard from, and
the story is that ruin rode in the wake
of the gale. While an estimate of the
total loss is necessarily speculative
there does not seem to be any doubt

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 30.-Over an

were subjected to the severest wind
storm ever known here. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate the number of buildings

greatest single loss is that of the Penn
sylvania railroad bridge across the Sus-
quehanna at Columbia, nothing being
left Of 1t but the piers, the, span in the
middle. and the first span at each end.
The bridge was mile and a quarter
long, and said to be the largest railroad
bridge in the world. 1t cost million
dollars. In this city a large number
of buildings were partly demolished
and unroofed, and the streets Uttered
with debris. The telegraph and tele-
phone wires through the country are
down and badly tangled, but from the
meager accounts received the outside
sections must have suffered more Sc
verely than the city.
