In the evening the plucky leader was
presented with handsome gold watch
and chain by some unknown admirer.
The donor refused to give his name
and address, and, as there was no in
Scr1ption on the watch, nothing can be
learned of the giver's identity.
The police authorities tonight insisted
upon another examination icing made
OF the men by the police surgeons. The
result was a report by the surgeons
which, so far as statistics go, showed
very satisfactory condition of affairs,
except in the case of Rivierre. Official
ly, this report goes as il We're, but it
gives not the faintest idea Of what the
real condition and appearance CT the
majority of the riders are. They are
all strong enough to go on for their
pedaling until midnight tomorrow,
and it is not likely that there will be
any further Withdrawals, unless for
cause of accident or unless another Of
the ambitious riders becomes insane.
There were a number OF exhibition
races throughout the evening. A. a.

champion, rode three-mile ex-

A Fair Smoker

A cigarette between the pretty lips Of
a handsome and fashionably gowned
young woman aroused the ire of her sex
on an open trolley car coming in from
a summer resort the other evening in
Cincinnati. The car was crowded with
women with their escorts and husbands.
From a dainty silver case the young NO.
man drew a cigarette. and with the fire
OF her escorts cigar lighted it, and start
ed to blow blu clouds of smoke up over
her forehead.
h other women were aroused in a
trice. Terrible" saio one. AN out
rage" said another woman with specta-
cles. Shameful declared a woman
with a black bonnet. Suddenly a woman
just across the aisle leaned forward and
grabbed for the cigarette. You mean
thing" cried the fair smCker as she
struck the other in the face. Then there
was a fight, in which all the shocked
women attacked the new woman. A DO
Hceman boarded the car, and the smoker
tainted.

Result of tn ekGulf Storm

Galveston, Texas, September 1tReports
received today from points in the storm
belt show that the reports that reached
Galveston were greatly exaggerated. At
Sabine Pass -four persons are reported as
drowned. These men were all on vessels
which were sunk. Along the gulf and
on the state railway several were injured
but none killed.
Port Arthur suffered the brunt of the
blast, and half Of the town is estimated
to have been destroyed or badly injured.
The wind came up about 4 O'Clock and
from the south and gradually working to
the east. A large number of people
sought shelter from the storm in the
round house of the railroad and several
were severely injured and two killed.
Under a restaurant a. small frame Struc-
ture, three more bodies were found.
There was no loss of life n either Old
or New Sabine Pass. The tugs Famine.
and the Norwegian steamship Ceres, 800
tons. was torn from her mornings at the
wharf and blown five miles north be-
fore she grounded in a few feet of water.
When she parted her lnes the captain
and crew escaped. Only slight damage
was done the old town of Sabine Pass.
Two men who took refuge in a freight
car had their legs broken by it being
blown over. Others in the car were
slightly injured. These were the only two
accidents.
Al the new town several residences were
blown rom their foundations and all
hastily constructed buildings were de-
molished. No one in the town was seri-
ously injured, the casualties being con-
fined to the shipping.
Eight miles of the Texas and Sabine
railroad, north Of Sabine Pass, is washed
away. Twenty-Five hundred feet of the
export pier at Port Arthur is destroyed,
and the people of that town are so terror
stricken that they are leaving it as fast
as they can. No estimate of the damage
to property at Port Arthur and Sabine
Pass has been obtained. The damage in
the country to buildings and crops is
severe. The losses to the farmers in
Jefferson county alone, will approximate
$3.50, 900.

The first day of enrolment and clas-
sification, as the college enters upon it's
sixty-first year of existence, shows a
gratifying increase over the record of
the corresponding date of a year ago.
The number Of new men already regis
tered is considerably more than sixty,
and the old classes are filing up quite
rapidly. To judge from appearances,
a prosperous year lies before the insti-
tuition both in point of numbers n
in the personnel of the student body.
The freshman class makes a most
pleasing impression as it is at once
large and a fine looking set of young
fellows.
