TAKES BACK WATER.
City Treasurer Palmer of Bath Decides to
Allow His Books to Be Examined.
(spEcrAL TO THE PREss.]

Bath, September 14.-This evening saw one
of the liveliest meetings of the board of
aldermen that has been held for many
month.
The meeting opened with reference by
Mayor Bibber to the order passed directing
that an expert be engaged to examine the
books, and he read a letter from Treasurer
Palmer stating that as soon as the suit
against him should be withdrawn the expert
might have access to the books and not until
then.
The mayor then inquired what action the
board cared to take on the matter. Some
one called on Treasurer Palmer, who was
present. He said the books were open to
the city auditor but he objected to the en-
ployment of an out of town expert.
The mayor said if Mr.. Palmer did not do
as requested, and not remain in open de =
fiance to tue city council that body would
declare his office vacant and call for the
election of new treasurer.
Then the members of the board used all
of their efforts in the way of persuasion to
get him to withdraw his letter and let the
examination by Mr.. Wilson proceed.
Mr.. Palmer finally said if his bondsmen
were willing he would recede from his stand
and asked for a few moments of time to
consult his father, Augustus Palmer, who is
his principal bondsman. This was
granted and upon his return he announced
that he would withdraw the letter and that
B ank Examiner Wilson might call tomorrow
if he desired and begin the examination,
and the city clerk was directed to notify Mr..
Wilson.
Alderman Malmsen then moved that the
suit against Mr.. Palmer be withdrawn, but
no one seconded it.
Mr. Wilson will come fir ON Portland to-
morrow and the work will egin.

Strike Is Spreading With Great Rapidly
Estimated That Fully Ten Thousand
Are out-Ihe Eckiey Alarm Was a
False One,
Hazleton, Pa, September 14.-Despite a
variety of alarming rumors and morning
movement by body of miners, which
looked formidable, today passed off without
! serious disturbance in the strike region
Matters still wear such an uncertain aspect,
however, that General Goblin declares that
the removal of the troops or of any portion
OF them has not been contemplated. The
strike is spreading with great rapidity
| Exact estimates of the number of men who
have quit work are hard to obtain, but con-
servative figures place it at close to ten
thousand, with Indications that within a
short time every colliery of Importance in
the region Will be idle. Although some dis
position has been shown by small bodies of
strikers in the outlying districts to make
demonstrations, they have been of rather
feeble character and the great majority of
the men are docile. These mines are now
idle: Coke Brothers and Company; Eckley,
Beaver Meadow and Oneida, about 1000 men !;
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company,
Honeybrook and Audenreid mines, about
25OO; Frank Pardees Cranberry and Crystal
! Ride, HOO; J.ehigh Valley Coal Company;
Halle mines, Yorktown, Janesville and
Audenreid, 5000; Calvin, Pardee and Com
pany, Lattimer and Harwood, 1000.
| The men at Coxe's st ockton mines have
expressed their intention of joining the
strike. Today was their pay day. The col
lierieS still working the Derringer,
Temhicken and Shepton of the Coke COM
pany; Weston, Dodson and company's
| Beaver Brook mine, and j. S. VENTS Silver
| Brook mine.
The First City troop of Philadelphia, which
was dispatched at an early hour this morn
ing to the scene of the reported outbreak at
Eckley, found nothing for 1t to do when it
| reached that place, about one o'clock this
| afternoon. Several hundred miners from
| Buck Mountain marched on the Eckley
| mines last night and brought out the men
there. A few of the men who showed dis
position to continue work were roughly
handled and the mine superintendent fear
ing trouble, wired to Gen. Goblin for troops.
He also sent work to Drifton, and seventy
five deputies from that place and Roam
junction, near by, were sent over. They
kept themselves under cover at Eckley,
however, awaiting developments. Nothing
further happened the men at Ec1ley joined
the ranks of the strikers Meanwhile the
cavalry troop was sent by General Goblin
and had a wearisome march over the noun
tain only to find everything at Eckley peace
fLl.
Today had scarcely opened before another
annoying story came TO brigade headquarters
by telephone. 1t was to the effect that
gang of mi ners from Drifton had marched
ON colliery No. at Jedde, with the ex-
pressed intention of bringing the men out.
Upon reaching the colliery John Markle, the
superintendent,met the men;and afterconfer-
euce with a committee of miners, succeeded
in turning them off without trouble. This
was the only incident of the day which par
took of the nature of demonstration.

Geneseo, N. Y, September 14.-Phillip
Gibbons, a farmer who lived three miles
south Of Livonia, was shot and killed

perate resistance.

From.

Kansas City, Mo-, September 14.-A special
to the Star says: ''Sabine Pass suffered
greatly from the storm All of the small

many of the larger houses badly damaged.
Only the large buildings in the new town
remain standing. During the storm six feet
of water covered the town.
Ten deaths have been reported up to this
time, and many are missing.
-Four tugs went down with their crews, but
the United States life saving crew stationed
at the pass, succeeded in saving many lives.
Tornado Reports Exaggerated.
Galveston, Texas, September 14.-Later
and more accurate reports received today
from points in the storm belts show that the
reports that reached Galveston were greatly
exaggerated.
Along the Gulf and Interstate railway
sever al were injured. Port Arthur suffered
the brunt of the blast, and half the town is
estimated to have been destroyed or badly
injured. large number of people sought
shelter from the storm the round house of
the railroad and several were severely hurt

frame structure, three more bodies were
found.
