Atlanta, October "a special to the Con-
stituton from Cochran, Ca, says:
A destructive gale and rain storm swept
cochran and surrounding country last night
and this morning 1t was the worst in
twenty-five years. People were badly
frightened, and many sat up all night ready
to leave their houses at an instant's warm
ing. Substantial dwellings were badly
damaged, immense trees torn up by the
roots and large amount Of fencing Hat
tened. The streets were covered with
debris. Iron roofs were taken from brick
buildings and telephone and telegraph lines
demolished. One passenger train was held
here twelve hours on account of the dam
age to the road.
The cotton crop is about ruined and cane
has suffered greatly.

Last Despalring Effort

"As the last deSpairing effort OF unscrup-
pulous conspirators comes ths brutal move
of the opposition which they have had upon
their programme for weeks with the des-
perate hope that it might in some way,
aid in the election of a democratic legisla-
ture The people of Pennsylvania,
above all things else fair and just anu they
can be trusted to see through the sinister
motives animating the small coterie of dis
gruntled defeated politicians who are re-
sponsible for this sensational resort to
the courts. In due time there will be
complete exposition of the true inward
ness of this latest act in the drama OF
character assassination now SO conspicuous
a feature in Pennsylvania politics."
The warrants were made out on Satur-
day by Magistrate Jermon at the instance
of District Attorney Graham and on the af-
fidavit of Charles F. Myers, of the district
attorneys office. Myers is detective and
acted on information furnished by Thomas
w. Barlow, receiver of the Peoples bank.
District Attorney Graham said from evil
dence in the shape of letters and papers
furnished to him he believed it his duty to
begin proceedings. He added:
st propose to have a hearing as quickly
as possible and to produce at that hear
ing all the facts necessary to binding
over Some of the facts will be reserved
until the time of the trial.
"If the state of affairs as appears to
me is true, there ought to be exposure. This
rottenness ought to be shown up, no mat
ter upon whom it reflects 1t is not my
practice to speak in advance of the trial of
a case and 1 will say nothing further as
to it's merits.

Ga, special to the Morning News says that
during the tropicals hurricane of Sunday
tidal wave was driven in from the sea and
inundated for an average depth of five feet
practically every business house and ware
house in the city. Conservative estimates
place the property loss at half a million
dollars, though when the details are all in
the figures may be consider ably shaded
either way. The Mallory line steamships
and Southern railway docks were under
water four feet.
In the residence section of the city the
water was from two to eight feet. There
was a full sweep of wind and water from
the ocean into and across the city. u
Two fatalities in Brunswick and one a
few miles out of the city have been re-
ported. Those in the city were negro
children. Their parents are missing and
may have been drowned. A few miles out
of town Steritt Aiken, colored, was killed

On the docks was one to two hundred

hundreds of barrels of naval stores which
will be washed away.
Very near all the docks suffered from

While the water was doing its damage
underneath the wind was playing havoc
overhead. Several fronts of brick buildings

Mr.. bumps felt full of gratitude to all
and cherished no malice to any one. He
said he was born a republican, always had
been one and expected to be as long as he
lived.
The convention now had its attention
drawn to the rear of the room where a
jolly faced big fat man was beaming on
them and In speech chock full of humor-
he was dealing with humorous subject any
way, as anyone who is acquainted with
Jay ID. Royce can testify-he reminded the
convention how it had taken his word two
years ago when he presented the name of a
man from Burns for the Office of register
of deeds, and now he asked it to nominate
Jay ID. Royce. Of course the convention
was expecting to do 1t any way but after
this speech it did it with yell and cheered
with yell as Mr.. Royce stood up by the
side of his big friend, n X Potter. and
thanked the convention for its action.
o. l.. Sprague again addressed the chair
and in rousing speech presented the name
of r. F. Kay, of Woodruff. for county
treasurer, nomination which was accorded
to Mr.. Kay by reclamation, no candidate
appearing In the field against him. The
crowd demanded that Mr. Kay should get
upon table where he could be seen and
heard, as he is decidedly small In stature

Putting Up Freaks.

The Michigan popocracy is entering as
choice collection of political freaks as
eyes ever gazed upon for the congressional
sweepstakes this fall. The list includes A.
M. Todd, of Kalamazoo, Roman l. Jarvis,
of Benton Harbor, and Judge Kelly, of
Alpena, and Ferdinand Brucker, of Sagi-
nav will doubtless be added later. Todd,
Jarvi, and Kelly have but one idea, and
that is as to the sovereign virtues OF cheap
money, and as for Brucker, he has been a
gold bug and silverlte, referee and an
anti, worshiper of Cleveland and an
adorer of Bryan, according as the wind
blew. Other candidates thus far nominat-
ed. y. X. Pierce In the Second district,
Charles Fishbeck in the Sixth, and G. j.
Chaddock In the Ninth, may be respectable,
but they are unknown to fame, and in all
probability beg ond having ii on the records
that they ''als0 raD," they will remain so.
This is admittedly not good year for the
popocracy In Michigan, and II appears that
the party managers, aware of the fact, are
taking advantage of the situation to let
some troublesome ambitions kill themselves
off.-Grand Rapids Herald.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1898-09-02

and in such position he told the conven-
ton. what 1t already knew, that he should
do his best to see the whole ticket elected
and he thanked them for the compliment
they had paid him.
The convention by this time was nearly
wilted and besides 1t knew just what 1t
wished to do with the two popular young
circuit court commissioners so il promptly
re-nominated both Jos. II. Collins and War
rem Pierpont by reclamation and was salts
fed with the barest sort of an acknowledge
ment from each of them.

tug of war over the nomination of a candi-
date for representative.
Five candidates were left In the field
| when the nominating speeches for represen-
tative were done. The first man whose
name was presented to the convention in
this connection was j. j. Whean, of Shia-
wassee, who was placed before the delegates
by K. j. Cook in an earnest speech of but
few words, nominating speeches being
limited to two minutes each. Theu in quick
succession j. Q. A. Cook, of Antrim, was
placed in the field by Austin Trowbridge, of
Antrim. Sam ". Beelby nominated E. w.
Washburn, of Fairfield, Chas. w. Shipman,
of Venice, was nominated by G. B. Gold.
smith of the same town, and Geo. T. Mason's
name was presented by w. M Fitzpatrick
Then the fun began. Mason led on the
first ballot and held the lead to the end. A
bit of carelessness in the third ballot was
probably to blame for the need of the other
two and yet the excitement grew more
intense with every ballot. Mr.. Washburns
name was withdrawn after the second
ballot, Mr.. Cook was not heard from after
the third or Mr.. Shipman after the fourth
while Mr.. Whelan, who forged steadily
ahead to 81 on the fourth ballot held that
same number on the fifth when the prize
fell to Geo. T. Mason, who secured an even
hundred votes. The excitement was intense
throughout the contest and when the result
was announced the enthusiasm was remark
able considering the almost uncomfortable
heat of the room. The ballots were as

Clinton Republican,: The eighth district
congressional convention met in Saginaw
last Friday and nominated Joseph w. Ford
ney for congress. Tuscola county was solid
ly with Saginaw, securing the nomination
to the Saginaw candidate. For eighteen
years or so Saginaw has claimed and had
the candidate, furnishing democratic ma
j0rities, while the outsiders have furnished
republican majorities. The Republican
has not claimed that Clinton county had
any better claims to the nomination this
year than Tuscola or Shiawassee, but we
had strong candidate, while they had
none, and we think il would have been good
politics to have given US the nomination.
Shiawassee gave us sixteen votes, and we
have no doubt will be remembered when
she has candidate.

nomination in good shape. Saginaw repub-
licans say he will not be more than 1000

insure his election in this year of grace, as
the other three counties will be good for

What labor needs is employment. That
which moves machinery and starts COM

buzzing, is the thing in which labor is most

On motion the chair appointed @. w.
Parker, Bert Cook, and W. r. Hubbard as
tellers, and then after defeating a motion to
adjourn to the lawn the convention settled
down to business and to Precipitation.
The presentation of candidates for the
nomination of sheriff being in order, Mr..
Frank Smith, of Vernon, addressed the con-
vention reminding them that two years ago
Vernon had presented man whom she had
asked the convention to place at the head of
the county ticket. After referring to the
work of the sheriff he asked that the Gus
tomary courtesy be shown him and that he
be accorded second term. With these and
other appropriate reminders he placed in
nomination the name of the present popular
sheriff, Monroe l.. ScOugale, of Durand.
Motion was then made and carried that the
the convention for Mr.. Scougale which was
done and he was declared nominated.
The name of Duane q. Cooper was then
presented by Rupr. j. Y. Martin in the
her favorite son and the one who had
brought her int the republican ranks.
The name of Fred Edwards was presented
by Geo. M. Dewey in a speech which
aroused the supporters of that candidate to
wild state of enthusiasm which was kept
up until after the vote was announced. The
friends of both candidates put forth earnest
efforts in speeches in which they seconded
the nominations. II. Fl. Pulver, A. z.
Richards and Z. j. Cook seconded the nom.
ination Of Mr.. Cooper, while Bert Clark and
Henry King seconded that of Mr.. Edwards.
The ballot showed up an even hundred for
Edwards to eighty. eight for Mr.. Cooper and
the first exciting episode of the convention
passed into history as Mr.. Edwards in a
brief speech thanked the convention for the
confidence 1t had shown in him and prom
ised his heartiest and best work for the sue.
cess of the whole ticket.
Judge Harper, of Corunna, then set the
ball in motion for another interesting con-
test which terminated in surprise to many.
The Judge in we'll chosen words presented
the name of Walter Mcbride as Corunna's
candidate for prosecuting attorney. This
nomination was seconded, when Ira G.
Curry addressed the chair and in q quiet
matter.offact way which held the closest
attention Of the delegates presented the
name of an Owosso attorney who had been
before the convention two years before but
who though rejected by that convention had
remained loyal to the party and its ticket,
f. f. Bumps. This nomination was also
warmly seconded. After this o. l.. Sprague
arose to place the third candidate in the field
and in terse, Enthusiastically business-like
speech he did so and Van r. Pond of
Owosso, was placed In nomination. When
the ballots were counted Mcbride was in
the lead bet he lost it in the second ballot
to Bumps, who steadily gained ground until
he secured the prize on the fifth ballot, the
fourth, in which he had majority, being
thrown out because of the presence of two
extra votes. The different votes stood as
