Warrant for Senator Quay,

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3-The rumor
to the effect that a warrant had been
issued for the arrest OF Senator Quay,
ex-State Treasurer Haywood, and
others, was partially verified, by Mag
istrate Jermon, this morning. He said
the affidavit upon which the Haywood
warrant was issued, had been sworn to
by Detective Meyers. of the District
Attorney Office, and in brief, charged
the former State treasurer and others
with conspiracy to use the funds of the
Peoples Bank, and the State funds
there deposited, illegally. Magistrate
Jermon would not state positively that
Senator Quay's name was included il
this list. The affidavit was given out
for publication later in the day. A man
prominet in political circles said in dis
cussing the matter: The whole thing
is absurd and will not amount to q
great deal. 1t is sprung on the public
Just at the commencement OF the cam
paign as another effort of Mr.. Quay's
opponents to defeat him, by endeavor-
ing to first assail his reputation"
Later in the day it became known
that complication had arisen in connec
ton with the swearing out of the Aft
davit, compromising exTreasurer Hay
wood and others with conspiracy to
misapply the Peoples Banks funds. 1t
now appears that more warrants were
issued than the authorities are Inclined
TO serve. Whether Quay's name is to
be withdrawn or whether or not it real.

positively known, save by those who
subscribed to execute the paper.
Senator Quay reached this city this
afternoon. In answer to a question,
Mr.. Quay said: 81 learned of the report
that warrant had been issued for my
arrest in Washington this morning and
came to this city on the first train. l

A West Indian hurricane, accom-
panied by terrific winds, yesterday did
much damage along the coast of Georgia
and South Carolina, running crops,
driving vessels ashore and imperiling
the lives of many persons. Miles of
country are under water. Vessels were
torn from their anchorage by the furi.
Gus wind and waves and driven into
the South Carolina marshes. Heavy

The storm conditions were similar to
those during the great tidal storm OF
FIVE years ago. Hundreds of small boats
have been carried away. Railroad
tracks at Savannah and the naval stores
and cotton and lumber yards of the
