Had TO Use oil Bags.

ST. JOHNS, n. F.. Oct 2O.-The Brit
ish steamer Bonavista, Captain Fraser,
from Montreal. arrived here after the
worst passage in her record. When off
st. Pierre she encountered a terrible
hurricane. Her chains broke and the
ship was left in the trough of the sea.
Heavy waves swept the deck killing
four cattle and washing her deckload
overheard. -Four hours later the chains
broke again, and once more her decks
were swept by mountainous waves.
Finally the captain resorted to oil bags.
The gale was undoubtedly the worst
known along the coast in several years.
Six vessels have been sunk off Labra-
dor and five lives lost.

ALBANY, Oct 2O.-It is announced
from an authoritative source that Ma
jor Lewis Balch, surgeon of the Tenth

Sir Tatton Sykes, the elderly York
shire baronet, electrified the fashiona-

tislns in The Times that he would not
be responsible for his wife's debts.
Lady Sykes had been almost as prom

She was at the bottom of the row be-
tween Sir Tatton and Lord Marcus
Beresford over the famous mare La
Fleche Of the Baron Hirsch stud. Sir
Tatton refused to take the mare upon
finding that his wife had given Beres-
ford carte blanche TO bid the mare up
for her to the enormous price of $4,000.
Sir Tatton finally relented and took the
mare.
Lady Sykes INDUCED in other equal
ly costly vagaries at times, leading up
to her husbands reputation Of her
debts. The most sensational Of her
escapades led to her arraignment in
Marlborough police court on July 19,
charged by Herbert Sanguinetti with
having obtained by false pretenses

LONDON. oct. 2O.-Lady Jessica
Sykes. wife of Sir Tatton Sykes. the
well known Yorkshire baronet, was ar
raigned in a police court yesterday at
the instance of a stockbroker upon
charge of forging the name Of her hus-
band to a bill for e1000.
The charge was not sustained on ac-
count of the husband being prohibited
by law from giving evidence against
his wife. and the lady was discharged.
Lady Sykes has been in similar diff
culties before, summons having been
issued against her about six weeks ago
upon charges of obtaining by false pre-
lenses checks Of the value of $500 and
of converting 200 shares of stock to
her own use.
The summons was withdrawn upon
the understanding that her husband
was prepared to meet all Of his wifes
liabilities, though in December. 1896, he
had advertised that he would not be
responsible for his wife's debts.

Dallas, Texas, October 1S.-W. G.
Crush general passenger and ticket
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
way lines in Texas. returned week
ago from a visit to his parents and the
old home at Louisville, Ky. Since then
he has been devoting all his energies
to having tile quarantine raised along
the road He was the happiest man in
town yesterday when the Katy general
offices here received word that the en-
tire line was clear from Dallas to the
gulf. a..
After helping Governor Culberson
ana President Knefly start the State
fair, he returned to his office and issued
directions for handling the big passen-
ger business the Katy will now have on
its hands. Crush is one of the fixtures
of Dallas. He knows everybody and
everybody knows him. He is one of
the most popular men in Dallas, and
has done more through his own person
atty to advertise the Katy than many
passenger agents has been able to do
with the aid of folders and dodgers He
has been at the head of the passenger
department of the Katy's big Texas sys-
ten for years, and is better known
perhaps. than any other passenger traf-
fic man in the State.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas sys-
TEN has two officials who have opened
the eyes of the Western rallioad world
upon more than one occasion. One is
ID. Miller, traffic manager of the entire
system, who makes habit of going
into Kansas and hauling out 5000 cars
of grain, when there are only 1000 in
the State, and the other is w. G. Crush,
who, when the passenger department of
his road wants to make Il knockout
blow on rival lines, is always sent to
perform the task.

Boys Hired to Puncture Bicycle Tires
to Help the Repair Shops.
New York Sun; There is already
distrust among wheelmen of the road
houses which have repair shops run
ming in connection with their bicycle
racks, and there is one place in particu-
lar which has come to be regarded with
suspicion by persons who have had
their wheels suddenly fall victims to
ncapacity when beast expected. One
philantbrOpist who was anxious to as
certain If the grounds for his distrust
were good several times submitted his
wheel when 1t was in perfect condition
20 the care of the boys in charge of the
racks. Every time it was injured. On
Sunday one man found a cut plainly
made with sudden slash of a knife in
tire at this same place. and there
were, within the experience of very
small circle of persons, several acct
dents of the same character. The re-
suit was that the man in charge of the
repair shop was busy all day, and there
was not bicycle under his care that
had not been handed over to the charge
Of the boys who watch the wheels left
there by the guests. There are already
a number of patrons of the place who
are convinced that the boys in charge
IF the racks have some interest in see
ing the repair shop prosper. This is
conducted by a young man who runs
it entirely on his own responsibility.
With the tack fiends supposed to be at
work on the approaches to the cycle
path and the other parts of the suburbs
beset with little danger to wheels, BIZ
cycling is taking on new terrors. But
there is none of them more difficult to
avoid than these accidents that are SO
closely connected with the attentions
of the rack boys at the suburban road
house.

TEXAS STATE FAIR.
a GOOD CROWD WASIN ATTEND
ANCE YESTERDAY.


Dallas, Texas, October 1S.-The at
tendance at the State Fair yesterday
was very large for Sabbath day
crowd. Thousands of Dallas folks and
many out of town peop.e took advan-
tage of an opportunity to 90 over the
grounds and see the various novelties
and exhibits from all parts of the
state. The heat of Saturday was sue
ceeded by typical braclng October
weather. This contributed no little to
the receipts.
Congressman r. c. DeGrafrenreid of
longview was an early arrival yester-
day morning and Congressman Joe
Sayers of Bastrop will come early to-
day.
Today has been named Woodmen's
Day. and thousands of members of the
order from almost every county in the
state will be here to participate in the
exercises attendant upon the occasion.
Among the interesting side shows"
upon the grounds are Dan A. Stuart's
verascope exhibition of the Carson City
fight and the smallest real railroad in
the world. The latter was made for
the Fort Worth and Denver City rail
way The tracks, only fourteen inches
wide and the engine used is modelled
after the latest pattern of passenger
locomotives. 1t pulls 1900 pounds at
the rate of ten miles an hour
The fair management is much
pleased with the results of the first
two days of the exposition. Since the
raising of the state quarantine Satur-
day everything looks bright, Advices
from local passenger men indicate that
every passenger train coming into Dal-
las last night was crowded with sight
seers for the fair. The daily racing
programme will he resumed today.
