GREAT GALE AT BUFFALO
The Water Front Flooded and
Boats Tossed About.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 6, 1S9s.-One of
the most severe wind storms that Buffalo
IN her years of experience with antumnaI
gales ever felt, struck this city about s
O'Clock last night and lasted with inereas-
ing fury Until early this morning when
the subsistence came, The water front of
waves passed over the breakwater in
great masses of water and boats were
tossed about like blocks Of wood, sails
ripped off and tow lines snapped like
thread. All was chaos where the boats
were conferred and early in the evening
many that had started out before DARK
came pounding back again to add to the
confusion and the danger in the harbor.
AS a result of the gale and the fierce
ress OF the storm on the lake front the
lumber barge, c.. [. Young, is wrecked
on Horseshoe Reef. the canal boats Raw
Inns and May Sidney have pounded to
pieces on the rock off Georgia street, and
The barge Sam Flint is on the sand bar
near the light house pier. Two mules en-
board the Sidney were drowned, and but
for the ,plucky and almost hopeless fight
or the life saving crew the crew of the
Young would have been lost.
What other damage has been Done is
conjectural now. A feet Of steel canal
boats here from Cleveland yesterday
morning have not been heard from. and
fears are felt that they havs gone down.
Many barges, consorts and transports
are on ths lakes and what fate overlook
mystery.
The storm did much damage on land.
Telegraph and telephone wires were rip
morning the service of both was inter-
rupted. The storm is now central in
Ontario, to the north of here and NOV
ing northeast.

ROBBED MANY BANKS
New York's Mysterious Prisoner
Identified as James
Thompson.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 1S96.-The prisoner
at Police Headquarters about whom there
is so much mystery, due to the refusal
of the Central Office detectives. the Dis
trict Attorneys office and the Pinkerton's,
all of WHOM are interested, to say one
word about him, is James Thompson. AT
least, hat was the name he gave and the
one registered on the blotter in the De-
tective Bureau when he was arraigned
there at 4:50 o clock on Wednesday after
noon. He had been taken up from a down
town bank, where he was arrested, it is
said, in the act of passing a forged check.
Detective ]. O'Connell arrested him.
The charge that stands against him on
the police blotter is forgery. No other
particulars are given. The police persist
in their refusal to say anything. The
prisoner 10 80 years old, single, and by
occupation a clerk. That is all that is
positively known.
There are all sorts of stories in circula-
ton about a big check-forging conspiracy,
of which he was the tool. and there is ap-
parently a good deal of truth in them.
The police admit that their reticence IS
due to the fact that the prisoner had ac-
completes, whom they seek, but have not
yet caught. They are annoyed by the pub
lefty which has already been given to the
matter, fearing that the greater rascais
who forged the checks which Thompson
tried to pass may have escaped them.
The whole matter is in the District At
torney'S hands. The prisoner was closely
questioned by Assistant District Attorney
Battle yesterday for over an hour. AT the
end of the examination he was taken back
to Police Headquarters end locked UP.
The lips of every man who knew about
him were sealed. Captain O'Brien says
that hetwill be arraigned in the Centre
street court this afternoon, when some Of
the facts may crop out. He will mean
while have been before the Grand Jury.
1t is said hat several big banks have
suffered severely from the depredations
of the gan whose tool Thompson was,
and that both the Pinkerton and the Cen
tral Office men have been in pursuit. of it
for some time past.

BOTH SUSPENDED.
Sequel to the SIS, 900 Rob-
berry on the Hamburg
Line Pier.
PETERS AND CLEMENTS RESPONSIBLE
The Paymaster and His Assistant
Evidently Considered Negligent
By the Company.
PETERS AND CLEMENTS RESPONSIBLE

Assistant Superintendent Peters and
Timekeeper Clements were suspended by
the Hamburg Steamship Company OF
Hoboken yesterday. The suspension was
due to the robbery which took place in
the Office of the on the pier
about six months ago, when $1,000 in
cash mysteriously disappeared one Satur-
eay morning.
Superintendent Bo~denhausen, of the
company, went to Europe shortly after the
robbery and returned on Tuesday of this
week. On Wednesday he had a c%onsulta-
ton with Chief of Police Donovan.
Peters, besides being assistant super
intendent, was ~paynaster, and on the
Saturday morning in question he went to
the First National Bank of Hoboken and
drew out 5000, $1,000 of it in silver.
Clements accompanied him for protection.
On returning from the ban the money
was put on a desk in thessuperintendent's
office. Stories differ as to what hap
pened after that One story was to the
effect that the money was put in a safe
and taken out while the clerks went out
to lunch. The general opinion is that
the money was left on the desk and for
gotten while all hands went out to lunch.
At the time the police arrested a man
who was working on the dock by the name
of Feiberkorn. There was no evidence
against the man and he was released.

PATTERSON, Nov. Z, 1S96.-Viee-Presi-
dent-elect Hobart is not Counting the vic
tory as a Republican triumph at all. In
a letter to the New York World' he
says
II do not consider my election a per-
senal victory. 1t is the triumph of Amer
lean patriotism, and it belongs to no
party. In thousands upon thousands of
cases voters nave abjured their past poll

their con~sciences dictated for the SUI
premacy Of law and order and to main
tain the national honor.
1.-THE would-be revolutionists who
sought to revive sectional issues and
create new ones, who endeavored to stir
up class and race ~prejudices, have re-
ceived a fitting and lasting rebuke.
Organism and all that the term implies
is dead beyond any hope or resurrec-
ton. / am deeply sensible of the great
debt / owe the press and the voters of the
United States, and it will ever be my en-
deavor to make manifest my grateful APP
probation of the hearty support ac-
corded me-"

has devoted much of his time since We'd
neSday morning 10 sending out brief re-
plies. He stood the terrible strain of the
campaign better han his immediate
friends believed he would and shows little
trace of fatigue. One who is close to him
says Mr.. Hobart never for an instant wav-
cred in his belief in the triumph of the
people. but steadfastly maintained that
the election of Mckinley was as certain
as the rising of the sun.
In the flood of congratulatory kilograms
were the following

There is a house in London which

information game; a shrine before
which they should bow respectfully as
the fountainhead of all tha is modern in
the game, says a writer in the Monthly
Illustrator, This is No. 81 ST. James
street. and it is within sight Of MarIbor-
ough House. Its fame rests chiefly ON the
fact that it was at one time, known as
Graham's Club, and tina within its walls
Lord Henry Bentinck first introduced the
blu peter" or signal for trumps. which
consists in playing a higher card before a
lower when no attempt is made to win the
trick. That signal has been to the whist
players of the world like the pillar of FIRE
to the children of Israel. For more than
forty years it has led them up and down
in the wilderness of arbitrary conven-
tons. but it has never brought them to
the promised knd of better whist.

GOVERNOR GRIGGs rs HAPPY.


TRENTON, Nov. 6, 1s~ss.-Governor
Griggs came down to the State House to
pick up some odds and ends of business
yesterday. He vas in high spirits over
New Jerseys tremendous majority for
Mckinley and Hobart. The Governor
predicted a majority of 10000 for the State.
This was considerably higher than all
other estimates n exceeded by some
10000 the figures of the Republican State
Committee. Now that the State has rolled
up a majority even larger than the fig
ures, of the Governor, his reputation as a
political prophet ought to be considered
as established.
