Very Severe I'm the Suburbs.
New Bedford. Mass, Sept. ia cyclone
from the west struck this city early this
morning, dealing out destruction on ev-
cry hand, and perhaps death, in one in
stance. There was, of course, an immense
number of minor accidents, trees uproot-
ed etc, but soon after daylight a par
ticularly severe burst caused damage OF
more serious import. About $50 o'clock a
huge bolt of lightning descended from
cloud of inky blaekness upon the roof
of the cotton shed of the Bennett mills. 1t

grade and strong staple 1t took the fire.
men three hours to get the mad blaze sub
dued, and in all about $500 bales, valued
at upwards of $110 900, were damaged. Much
of this damage will be Offset by the pro-
ceeds of sales of damaged cotton, but 1t
will still be heavy loss. 1t is generally
insured. The cotton house was destroyed
and involved a loss of perhaps $6,O00
In the midst of the mill fire another
cyclone burst, characterized by a terrific
wind and a torrent of rain The crowd
near the mill fire ran for shelter and about
twenty of them found it in new build
ing at the corner of Coggess' Hall and
North Front street. No sooner had they
entered than the wind took up the build

structure fell with a crash. BY miracle
all but one of the crowd in the building
escaped. He was Zoel Levigney, a French

was pinned down by heavy timbers, his
spine was injured, several ribs were

of Being implicated.

of Being implicated.
Washington, Sept. 19.-George NJ. Coffin,
deputy controller of the currency, tonight
received telegram from Bank Examiner
Escott of the Union National Bank at
New Orleans, announcing the arrest of
Louis Gallot, an outside party, charged
with aiding in the embezzlement Of 5000, 900
from that bank. Mr. Escott adds that Mr..
Gallot opened an account with the bank in
1890 and closed 1t in 1894.
New Orleans, Sept. 19.--Lous Gallot, a
clerk in a cotton house in this city, was
arrested late this afternoon, charged with
aiding and abetting Louis Colomb, the
dead bookkeeper of the suspended Union
National bank, In the theft OF $203, ,47902,
and of abstracting this money from the
Union National bank. Colomb Is charged
with having credited Gallot falsely and OF
having failed to charge Gallot with the
money which he drew from the bank. Gal
lot was taken before a United States COM
missioner, who fixed his bond at $4,000.
This he was unable to give and he will go
to the parish prison. AS heretofore, much
mystery is observed in the case and no
information can be had. 1t Is said other
arrests will be made in a few days.
1t is said that Gallot lavished the money
he got out of that institution on a woman
named Mrs. Bouscaren, who was form
erly Miss Long of Louisville, KY, with
whom he was infatuated, and who in
turn was infatuated with a desire to
shine in society. Many stories are afioats
but the consensus of opinion agrees that
Gallot spent the money like water In
vain effort to enable the object of his
adulation to crafty her social aspirations.
The woman in the case Is now said to be
living in splendor in Washington, ID. q.

Both mules fell to the ground, either from the shock or fright, and the riders were also considerably stunned. When the mules regained their feet they start ed for home on mad run, and nothing could stop them until they were safe in their stalls. It was an unpleasant ex- perience for both the mules and their riders, and one that MT. Grimes and his son will not soon forget. They are to be congratulated on their lucky escape, as one moment later they would have been exactly at the place where the lightning struck The cotton was killed for yards around the spot.

A Slight Delay at North Brmingham-Con-
 fidence in Ultimate Success,

fidence in Ultimate Success.
 The Jefferson Steel Manufacturing company at North Birmingham are working about forty hands now on the new plant, which is nearing completion.
 Superintendent Hawkins expected to be ready to make the first test July 15, but will be delayed until some time about the first of August on account of having to place an extra order for hy- draulic piping, which was not received until Friday, and it will take several days to place it in position.
 The Hawkins process, if it proves suc- cessful, will revolutionize steel making throughout the world as 1t Is claimed by the patentees that steel can be made by this process 70 per cent cheaper than by any other.
 The projectors certainly have much confidence in the success of the enter prise, as they are investing considerable money and arranging every detail for doing a mammoth business

IN THE SENATE.

In the Senate today, Mr.. Frye occupied
the chair as president protein in the ABB
senoe uf the Vice President. Conference
reports were being considered and, acted
on during the day. First came the river
AMI harbor bill. After short discussion
the report was formally disagreed to, IN
order to have the item as to the Bruins
Later in the day the report was again
presented with the Brunswick matter
arranged satisfactorily, but with the item
as to the deep sea harbor in Southern
California still undisposed of in the con
ference. The report was agreed to as far
as 1t went. and now conference was OF
dered.
The conference report on the legislative
bill was presented and was assailed by
Messrs. Platt, Republican of Connecti-
cut and others on account of the pro-
visions as to United States commission
ers and Circuit court clerks, and as to
the appointment of a register of copy
rights.
Mr.. Chandler and others defended the
conference report. The report was dis
agreed to 26 to 33, and the bill was again
sent to conference. A partial conference
| report on Indian appropriation bill was
agreed to and further conference ordered.
Subsequently a second report was repre-
sented and went over till tomorrow.
The conference report on the sundry civil
| bill was presented and agreed to. Further
| conference was ordered on the disputed
points.
Mr.. Butler, Populist Of North Caro-
| lima, moved the Senate proceed to con-
slider his bill prohibiting the issue of gov
ernment bonds without the consent OF
| Congress. Immediately Senators Hill and
Chandler commenced series of obstruc-
tive measures, by which they were suc-
csssful in preventing vote on M. But,
ler's motion. The strength Of its support
was indicated by the vote on Mr.. Chan
dler's motion to proceed to the considera.

preserved that relation. During the I'LL
clustering proceedings Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Allen interohanged remarks not entirely
consistent W ith senatorial courtesy. The
obstructive tactics prevailed to the extent
of forcing an adjournment without
vote on Mr.. Buffers motion to take uI
the bill which he is to renew tomorrow.

towns were saved from heavy loss by q
fortunate change in the wind. The Ban
gor q Aroostook train this AFTERNOON

be closed. Men are fighting the fire and
can't control 1T. Valuable timber land
Is being. burned over.
The town Of Milo barely escaped de-

SENATOR EDMUNDs DISGUsTED
With His States Action in Instructing
For Mckinley.

Writes Letter to Col. Edward C. Smith,
Expressing His Feelings on the Subject
Col. Smith Says He Personally Favors
Reed.
Boston, May 81. A special to the Tran
script from st. Albans. VT, says: SEN
ator Edmunds has written letter in
which he virtually expresses disgust at
the action Of the Green Mountain voters
in taking a stan d which makes it practi-
oally imperative that their delegates vote
for Mckinley at st. Louis, to Col. Ed
ward Q. Smith Of ST. Albans, president
of the Central Vermont road, and one of
the delegates at large. Col. Smith says
that the allusion to the states attitude
on the Presidential matter WAS contained
in few lines at the end of business
letter he received. ''I couldn't give the
exact wording" said Col. Smith, "but
I gathered that Senator Edmunds was
disgusted at the outcome of the state con-
vention and that his meaning was that
the delegates ought not let the oonven-
tion's attitude influence them foolishly
when they were actually on the floor at
st. Louis, and that they should not waste
their influence by voting for McKin-
ley"
Col Smith said in his opinion, the dele
gates would be obliged to vote for Mo-
Kinley as q matter of honor. He admitted
that he had private prejudice in favor
of Mr.. Reed.
When asked about the personal prefer
Hnc6S of h1a 00Il60 ha Gaid hn had M
| recent talk with them, but that he in
| ferred from what he knew of them that
the private preferences Of Hon. G, A.
Prouty were for Reed, while Philip K.
Gleed, an alternate delegate, was an
avowed Reed man. The two other dele
gates, Senator Proctor and DIR. Henry D.
Hotlon, he thought, were staunoh Nc
| Kinley men.
Col. Smith thought there was yes some
danger that McK1nley's boom would be
SO big that it might at last break on ac-
| count of it's own weight.
