been great and the destruction to

of the buildings in the towns which
have been wiped away. The hurri-

was equally as damaging as the
wind
This was the second tropical cy-
clone which had devastated this sec

City, located at Sabine Pass, was
literally swept from the facs of the
earth by terrific tropical cyclone,

Geo. o. Warren Ends His Existence at
Uray, Colo BY Taking Laudanum.
Last Fridays papers contained a
brief note to the effect that Geo. b.
Warren had taken laudanum at Uray
Colo, and that it was doubtful if he
could recover. Advices received here
by letter since, state that he died
from the effect of the drug and was
buried week ago today.
Up to last Spring, deceased had
been resident of this section for
upwards of rs years, and was well
known, having grown children here
and at DeLamar. At Uray he was
engaged in the hotel and saloon bus
mess and was reported to be doing
well of late. His motive for ending
his existence is not known, unless it
was occasioned by general disgust
at long strain of apparent bad luck
though since the death of his wife
here two years ago he has frequently
expressed himself to the effect that
he did not care to live.

News from this district have not
been very encouraging of late.
Several parties moved in from there
this week for the winter They re-
port matters as being very quiet.
No rich or extensive bodies of ore
have been found in any OF. the mines
yet several claims contain very prom
Using stringers of good ore. If the
district possessed some means where
by claim owners could convert their
ore into cash it would assists more
than anything else in the early open
ing of the mines. The question of
building mill has been discussed
number of times. The probabilities
are that small affair will soon be
put up.
The Milford Index says: State

He mad been on a protracted spree
for about ten days, and was laborihg
under a fear that he was being hunt

Sheridan has had similar attacks

was usually quiet yet extremely ner-
yous. At no time has he created a
belief among his friends that he
would attempt to end his existence
When first missed it was supposed
he had quietly gone to the house Of
some friend, or other quiet place to
sober up, so that for several days
his absence re I-
quiry or comment When inquiries
failed to locate him general search
was made; everyphce in town where
he could possibly be, being inspect

places where it was thought he might
have gone No trace Of the missing
man could be found however The
fact that he has not been heard from
on any of the roads leading out of
town. to Milford. DeLamar or other
places; that he has not been seen at
any of the surrounding valleys,
whore he would be obliged to ask
for food, etc, indicates that he has
not walked out of the country, but
strengthens the belief that he has
persisted, voluntarily or otherwise.
Ten days absence leads to no other
conclusion but that his remains lie
at no great distance from town.

Died at the Hospital From His
Explosion Injuries
Peter Quinn, who was so severely
burned and bruised by an explosion
last week, died at the hospital at 2:3O
yesterday afternoon. He was con-
scious up to few minutes before ne
breathed his last, but had not been ra
tional at any time after the accident.
Deceased was As years of age and was
born in Philadelphia He had served
five years as a soldier in the United
States army before coming to Hawaii
He had been in the Islands more than
20 years. Quinn was unexcelled in his
trade as plasterer and bricklayer, and
always commanded steady employment
at big wages. OF him it may be said
as has been said of many another good
man who had fault or so, that s'he
was his own worst enemy" When on
a. job he was terrific worker and up
to the time of his disability, his SER
vices were always in demand by plan
tation managers and others. He was
frequently called to the other islands to
build chimneys and seemed to find
special satisfaction in this dangerous
work. Quinn was man of honest and
generous impulses and practices, and
those who knew him best considered
him a rough diamond worthy of friend
ship. He leaves a wife
Peter Quinn did some work reauir-
ing powder and was fatally injured by
an explosion of such a nature that it
was plain he was not entirely himself,
when he fixed the charge.
The funeral will be held at II noon
today. The services will be conducted
at the hospital by Adjutant Simonson
of the Salvation Army Quinn was at
one time an active and consistent mem
Der of the local corps.
