SOUND MONEY MEN sANGuINE.
Reports from the Districts SatIsfae-

ksePoF&k from the Dsztricts S2tGsfae-
tory candidates Aggressive.
Daily reports flowing into the Palmer
and Buclzner National Democratic head
quarters in this city give glowing ac-
counts of the progress Of the honest
money cause The mail is loaded down
with assurances of support and these are
all the more valuable because they come
from unexpected quarters. So far as the
local sound money cause is concerned
the leaders are more than gratified at the
result. The ticket announced in yester-
days News is considered by its back
ers as a strong one, though this
opinion is not generally shared.
Messrs. George L. Record, Alva A. Bedell
and Palmer Campbell, nominated re-
speetively for Congress. Sheriff and Sur
rogate, will make stiff fight. The AS
sembly ticket is not yet complete.
Mr. George L. Record was seen this
morning by q News repres sentative as
70 his plans. He is not in good health
and consequently scarcely in good shape
for a political campaign but he will be
ready In few days, he thinks, to take
his part in the fray The leaders of the
map out plans for public meetings
throughout the county, They will, they
say, go into every part of the county and
preach the gospel of honest money.
MT Bedell is ready to do his part in
the campaign, and told a News man
this morning that the party will receive
support from a large number of Demo-
Gratis who are initiating Brer Rabbit and
lying low"
Next Monday the County COMMITTEES of
the National Democratic party will meet
in the Hotel Washington to begin the de-
tail work of the fight.

MINOR DAMAGE IN JERSEY CITY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 1S96.-After
two days of rather warm, though not par
ticularly oppressive weather, including
slant of driving rain yesterday forenoon,
followed by showery conditions with
warm sunshine throughout the day,
storm gathered In this city last night, of
almost unprecedented proportions for this
latitude Added to the dangers by the
unusual electric phenomena with the wind
of ultra-hurricane proportions, which pre-
vented absolutely, for a time, anything
like -pedestrianism or vehicle work outside
of cable tramway manoeuverings, the
meteoric-like dropping of electric sparks,
caused by the. crossing of wires, caused
very great uneasiness to the few who
were SO unfortunate as to be out when
the storm began to gather in its fury.
Telegraplic communications with points
in every direction from Washington was
as thoroughly interrupted as it was dur
ing the memorable equinoctial gale in
March of 1887
Several fire alarms were sounded, one
of which was on account of the collapse
of wall of a building, the erection of
which was nearly completed, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, between Twelfth and Thir-
calities of the great thoroughfare.
It was a building 1S5 feet in height and
an, imposing structure. The west wall of
this edafice was blown in by the widest
squall of the gale and crushed into the
roofs of two adjoining buildings; one a
saloon that was only opened for business
last night, and the other a lunch room.
Several people in both of these houses
We're for a time buried in the ruins, but
With one exception. were unhurt.
The general extent of the storm was
not thoroughly known up to an early
hour this morning. On Seventh street
much damage to stores and other struc-
lures is reported, but full details are not
yet forthcoming Shade trees in the nu-
merous parks and along the streets suf-
fsred in q lamentable degree and the
roads and pathways are crowded
with branches and dilapidated shrub
berry The streets are practically blocked
by the wrecks in many parts of the city,
and as many of the trees that fell be-
fore the fury of the tornado are of no
slight dimensions, walking is attained
with difficulty and some danger, particu-
larly as the electric light plants sue
cumbed in the general disaster.
Roofs of houses were blown off in many
sections of the city and church steeples
wrenched from their fastenings, while an
other serious mishap was the blowing
out of the rear wall of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company's building
Two employees were hurt here by crashing
glass

STEAMER FOUNDERED.
The Sumatra Lost Off Milwaukee
and Four Men Drowned.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Sept. 80, 1S96-The
large barge Sumatra foundered off the
Government pier this morning and four

Arthur Burnsted.

Patrick Peterson.
Peter Anderson.
Capt Chas. John, Mate John Burbe-
becke and Ira Purser, the cook, were res
cued by the tug Simpson.
The Sumatra was bound down from
Chicago with a load of railroad iron and
Pattie Wells. She was leaking on her
way and had the pumps working all
night
The sea was running high and the
crew had great difficulty in keeping her
from sinking. When she reached South
Point she got in the troth and In short
time her matches We're washed OF and ner
rails carried away. The steamer sounded
once put out for the wreck.
The sea at that time was running very
high and great trouble was experienced
in getting near the sinking barge. Just
latter foundered. The tug men succeeded
in saving the cook and mate from the
wreekage The life saving crew was on
hand and worked hard to save the other
men on the barge, but all were drowned
with the exception of the captain, who
was taken ashore by the life savers.
The Sumatra is badly broken up, and
only her mast can be seen out Of the
water now. The wreck occurred about
a mile and a half out from the harbor
entrance.
The ill-fated barge went down with
scarcely a moments notice, and accord
ing. to the statement of Capt. Johnson
and the mate, the crew did not even
have time to mount the rigging after re-
alizing that the vessel was foundering.

HoW BRYAN GAME TO THE CITY
Robert Davis Persuaded Him and
Arranged for the Meeting.

There was considerable comment
throughout the city today upon the meet
ing which was held in the Academy of
Music yesterday, and although it was
recognized that the reception to Mr..
Bryan was rather chilly there were only
words of commendation for the manner
in which the crowds were gotten to-
gether in such a short time This was
due entirely to the efforts of Mr. Robert
Davis, who arranged for the meeting and
hours of the meeting The result was
regarded as a remarkable proof of-11is
organizing ability.
II was only by Mr.. Davis earnest ap-
peal that Mr.. Bryan was induced to come
TO this city at all. Chairman Jones of
the National Committee advised against
it. He feared that Mr.. Bryan's voice
would give out and that he would not be
in proper form for the evening meeting
at Tamnany Hail.
