GOOD PAY FOR HIS CARRIAGES.
Farmer Finds Thief and Catches the
 Thief's Team.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-R. J. Me Ribbon, farmer living one mile south of Railway, N. J.,qhad a EIhrilling ex perience about midnight last night with man whom he caught stealing cabbages in a. field on his farm.
 McKibbon was aroused by the bark ing of his dog, and, getting out of bed, he decided to dress and investigate the cause of the animals noise. He went Ito the rear of the barn and was sur. prised to see team of horses attached to a wagon standing in the cabbage field Going to the wagon he found it half full of cabbages, and moment later he saw a man come out of the patch with his arms full of vegetables. He waited for the thief to come up to the wagon, and as he did so the farmer stepped up and demanded to know what the fellow meant by such proceedings. Without replying the thief jumped into the wagon and attempted to drive away, butt the farmer was too quick for him. He climbed into the wagon, and then began a desperate battle for su- premacy.
 First the thief was thrown out of the wagon, and as quickly would he get back; and then the farmer was thrown out, but he pluckily returned to secure the man, and so they struggled with all their strength, until the thief finally became exhausted, and, eluding the irate farmer, made his escape in the darkness, leaving the team of horses and wagon in Ehe farmers possession Both men were badly used up in the midnight battle. The thief left his coat and hat behind in his haste.
 The team was identified today as be longing to man named Berry, living near Demorest.

WE'RE AMERICANS.
Two Brothers Imprisoned by Spanish
 Authorities.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-William and Louis Clean were passengers on the Ward line steamer Yu1nuri from Ha- vana, which reached quarantine last night The brothers said today that they were glad to get away froIn Cuba with their lives, although financially ruined. Their fine plantation and property at Sagua was entirely de- stroyed. Both men have been in pris- on for thirty-nine days, but through the efforts of the United States consul at Sagua and other influential friends they were finally liberated. No cause was given by the Spanish authorities for their arrest, their only crime, they said, being the fact that they were American citizens, which in Spanish eyes, was in isself sufficient eyide1ee that they were hostile to Spain. They will lay their case before the depart ment at Washington within a few days.

LIE NAILED.
Campaign Assertion Which Is Repudi-
 ated.

The statement of a newspa- per The statement was published few days ago in this city that a travelling man named Keller had wagered S450 on Bryan's election and that his firm was coercing it's en- ployes to support Mckinley.
 Chairman Armstrong of the county central committee telegraphed the fol- lowing to the firm in regard ito the matter:
 John V. FarweH & Co.,, Chicago L. M. Keller, claiming to be in your employ, asserts you sent two hundred employees to Canton, but one-third are for Bryan Also claims he sent to you for S450 to wager How much truth in statements?
 "THOs. ARMSTRONG, Jr., Chairman Republican Committee"
 And their answer, received yesterday morning, reads as follows:
 Chicago, Oct. 16, 1896.
 'Thos. Armstrong, Jr., Phoenix Keller discharged two weeks ago Owes money to us and others. Both statements are false. We believe all our employees are for Mckinley, al though many are Democrats.
 "JOEN V. FAREWELL & CO.," These felegrams may be seen at the Republican headquarters by any one who desires to examine them. Con- fidence in the assertions of Bryan or. gans or Bryan supporters ought to bt taken with the usual grain of salt.

Marches Through Town
 in It's Glory.
A WOnde erful Demonstration by
 Arizona Republicans.
Ail Records of Political Metings In Arizona Broken Las.
 Night.

The Republican mass meeting and parade held in this town last night surpassed all expectations. Never be- fore in tn history of the territory had here been such demonstration in the streets of Phoenix as this one. Washington street, for nearly a mile of its length, was illuminated in honor of the event. Fully two thousand persons marched in the parade which began at the military plaza and ended at Second avenue and Adams street, where some of the best Republican speakers in the territory discussed the issues of the campaign.
 The spectacular features of the much advertised rally were thoroughly al tractive. Fireworks were burned in the most prodigal way all along the line of march, and flambeaux and torches added their brilliancy to the scene Some of the most original ban ners and transparencies ever seen in a procession of his sort were displayed and the people found much entertain ment in studying them. For an hour preceding the start Washington street was thronged with pedestrians, and while the procession was passing the sidewalks were blocked.
 All classes and conditions Of men were in the ranks. The prosperous merchant, she miner, the clerk, the rancher, marched side by side and testi- fled to their desire to see the Republi- can nominees elected. A feature ot the great turnout was the delegation from Yavapai county which came by train from Prescott and other north ern points yesterday afternoon and entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion. Three bands supplied music to the marchers. The speaking at tht great open air meeting was of an un usually high order. Naturally thu Hon. Thomas Fitch was the star. He delivered a telling argument agains the fallacies embraced in the free coin age movement. A. J. Doran also made characteristic speech. It was grea night for Repuiblicanism, and undoubt edly the effect will be to swell the ma jority for Mir. Doran and the entire Re publican ticket in this county.

THE TRACK OF THE STORM.
Scenes of Destruction in West.
 ern Florida.
Millions of Property Destroyed by the WestIndian Hurricane-Cedar Keys Practically Wiped Out he Storms Freaks.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 16.-The full extent of Vhe losses inflicted by the West Indian hIrricans in Florida is beginning to be appreciated. Cedar Keys is now isolated from the world, being without railroad or wire communication. The railroad will no'. be in operation again for five or six weeks. Provisions have been scarce, but now the people are better supplied. The fishermen intend to move their places of business to the mainland, as they can ship from there without trouble, and the opstermen will do likewise. This will prevent much re- building at present.
 The hurricans as it passed north left wide path many miles in extent, filled with twisted trees lying in the widest confusion, in one isangle of trunks and limbs strewn here and there, with the i wrecks of loggers camps. Small set tlemenss with prostrate houses, culti- vated fields, with crops blown entirely out of the ground, and the fields cov- cred with debris of all kinds, are all that remain of what was a prosperous section of country, thickly inhabited in some places. The death list is in complete in this path of the storm in this state. The property loss can hard ] ly be estimated, but will amount to mil lions, while the sufferings of the peo- pie, cut off as they are by the impassa- ible condition of the country, will be great.
 All along the Suwanee river, at Fan ming, Manitee Springs and other set dement's, the people are in despair The settlements were almost totally destroyed At Fowler's Bluff not a building was left standing, and there is hardly a farm house within twenty miles. Yular, a small village of BOG souls, with fifteen to twenty business houses and homes, is a complete wreck The people have nothing to eat, an6 have sent out appeals for aid. Goods from the destroyed stores have beer found twenty miles away, fantastically twisted around the trees In one in stance a big pine tree, was neatl! wrapped up in red and white calico The people have gasl1ered up the scat tered boards, @4Jc., and have built lean ltos to shelter them. For miles around there is not tree left standing, all be ing a confused mass of fallen timber through which it is almost impossibl to pick ones way.

THE PARADE.
The Greatest. Turnout the City Ever
 Witnessed.

It was a grand slgnt, and even the Democrats conceded that the Republi- can parade last night was the largest ever witnessed in Phoenix. The pro cession was fully mile long and it took about thirty minutes to pass a given point.
 First came uhe fagbearer, followed by the Pioneer band The speakers, in carriages, followed next and behind them was the young ladies float. This was a very pretty sight and evoked many cries of admiration. There forty-fve young women all dressed in white. Uncle Sam, represented by a wound lad, stood on the rear of the float.
 The F'lambeau club, with linen dust CTS, numbering about fifty, followed the young ladies float. The next in line were about 100 young voters of the Young Mems Republican club. They made a good showing and were to act as guard of honor ito the young ladies float, but the Flambe club got in ahead of them.
 The Glendale Mckinley club, about 100 strong, showed the number o1 good Republicans in our neighborine village. They were followed by an en- thusiastic delegation from Alhambra
 The handsomely uniformed Prescott band appeared at the head of the 200 staunch Doran and Mckinley Republi cans from Yavapai. They were loudl! sheered as they passed through tht streets.
 The Mckinley and Hobart colore( club, about 100 strong, followed tht Prescottites and made an excellen showing.
 The bicycle club, numbering abou fifty. followed the colored club. Chi nese lanterns hung from the bicycles making a pretty and attractive ap pearance.
 The Mexican band in their handsom new uniforms were the next in the pa rade. They were followed by abou 300 good Phoenix Republicans.

THE CHA RIVER.

The Gila river lowered several feet yesterday, but it is still quite high. It is expected that the river will be low enough by today so that the railroad company can repair the damage done to the bridge by the high water. The bridge is damaged even greater than was at first supposed. It will take at least four or five days before trains can cross and until then passen gers will be transferred across the bridge.

The large open lot at the corner of Adams street and Second avenue was the place of the open air meeting. In it's center stand had been erected, and decorated with bunting and the National colors. Above the desk at the front of the platform was stretched large American flag. The corner posts were wound with red, white and blue bunting. Pictures of Mckinley and Hobart hung behind Lhe table of the presiding officer Just before the speaking bgan the young women repre- senting the different states were given places on the platform In their white costumes they made charming back ground
 Long before the, parade ended .1he im- mense space in front of the platform was filled with men, women and chil- dren. One by one the different march ing organizations deployed into the l meeting place. AS each band passed the stand it played a stirring air Soon the vast crowd was hemmed in by a wall of fire as Ehe bearers of torches and fambeauX formed on its outskirts It was an inspiring scene

 Mrs. Thomas Fitch were among tht first to arrive. Mrs. Fitch sat clos,
 to the front of the stand.
 It was 8:45 o'clock when Dr. Ford the chairman of the territorial Repub l lican committee, arose and faced tn,
 multitude. He thanked the people fo
 the interest they had displayed in tn,
 Republican demonstration. Then h. | introduced Col. w. $. Head of Pres colt, who expressed the qualification of the Prescott Republicans to be abl
 to participate in such a glorious DO | litical meeting. Col Head made him [ self popular with the crowd by hi |, reference to the future of Phoenix an the Salt River valley. With McKinle in the White House, he declared, pros t perity would return to Arizona and tn ) people of the northern and central por tions of the territory would find pleas 7 ure and profit in extending and ce 3 mendng their business and social ir
 tercourse.
 l Col. Head sat down amid a roar ( e applause and then A. J. Doran made t short, but telling speech. He dwe
 upon the vital question of stadehoo t for Arizona, and declared that if h : should be elected he would do all the !. he could ito forward the movement t = place Arizona in the list of states. M
