THE STORM.

Old Boreas went on jamhoree In CAL
weston last night. He cut high capers and
many pranks. but he was evidently In a
kindly mood withal MS he did but little
actual damage Whether this is to be at
trlbuted to a desire on the part of the old
fellow to be merely giddy without being
malicious, or Is tribute TO the construe-
ton OF Galveston houses is question.
But the fact is the same. but little dam
age was done. except in the case Of the
Balsom family as related below.
Yesterday afternoon an omnous cloud
showed up In the southeast and accom-
panied by sharp squalls 1t swept down
upon the island The wind then boxed
about the compass coming from all d.
rections, finally settling down about mid
night into steady gale from tho south
west 1t was a big piece OF luck that the
wind came from this direction, as 1t is
less liable to do damage then than when
II blows from the southeast. All OF tho
big storms which have shaken Galveston
up In the past aud have backed the water
up In tho bay have come from the south
east.
The only damage reported Is the top
ping over of one residence a milkmau
driving into town this morning through
the furious storm of Wind and rain stopped
Thirty eighth street long enough to say:
Boys, there's house blown down out
near the mud bridge. I'm afraid some
of the people have been hurt"
IL was then Ave minutes after 5 o'clock.
Foreman John X. Scdgwiok ran TO the
telephone and called up Chief Wegner, As
soon as Sedgwick reported to the chief
what the milkman had said the chief gave
instructions for him to 20 at once to tho
scene and render every assistance pos
sible.
When the fremen got to the mud bridge
they found that the milkman was correct
in what he said. A two-story frame dwell
ing. which had stood on the soSth side Of
the mud bridge about Forty eighth street,
Ind been blown down by the fury OF tho
storm, and the timbers were lying fiat on
the ground.
| The house had been occupied by the
| family of Peter Basom. consisting of tho
husband. wife and four children, one being
babe In arms. The husband works as a
car repairer at the shops Of the Calves
ton. Houston and Henderson. and is on
duty AT night.
The dremen found that Mrs. Balsom
had an arm broken and that her two sons
were also injured. They found shelter for
Mrs Balsom and her children in a house
nearby and suggested that she go to the
hospital but she didn't think her injuries
serious enough, A telephone message was
sent TO her husband and he soon re-
sponded.
The injuries to the boys were not So
rious,
The rainfall amounted to two nnd one
half inches and was sufficient TO food the
streets.

Last evening about 6 o'clock fire
broke out in Tne paint store of Nc
Graw & Crow, on Union street, Bel
laire, and before gotten in check had
spread to adjoining property causing
losses that will foot we'll up in the
thousands.
The paint s-oIo located in the
business heart of the city and adjoin-
ing it are numerous stores. the owners
OF which will suffer heavily from de-
struction of stock by fire and water.
1t was just at the supper hour and the
proprietors of the store were out, and
no explanation is given as TO how the
hre started. The ~inf1ammable charac-
ter of the McGraw & Crow stock made
the progress of the flames exceedingly
rapid, and the family residing on the
second floor barely made their escape
without injury. They were seated at
supper and the first intimation they
had of any thing being wrong was
when the flames began to burst
through the floor.
The f1remen were on hands early and
worried nobly until all danger had pas
sed.
ADJOINING the paint store in the
Deyarmond block is the tin andqueens-
ware store of Andrew Kern. whose
stock is almost a complete loss. The
drug store of ID. H. Darrah in the same
building was also slightly damaged.
The fire spread to the Blum building
on Thirty-second street. and three
business places there also suffered.
These are the jewelry store of VIM.
Dorer, the photograph gallery of Muel-
Ter & Vaupel and the notion store of
j. E. Oswald.
Owing to the fact that none of the
owners had been able to make any ex-
animation of their stock last night,
it was impossible to express the ex-
tent of the damage in figures, but Nc
Graw & Grow and Kern win be the
heaviest losers, aside from Geo. Dey-
armond, the owner of the building.
The Blum building is frame. Mr..
Dorer removed the major portion of
his jewelry, and his loss will be
slight principally from this cause.
Kern carried $500 Insurance on Ais
stock, but reliable information as to
other insurance was not o~btainable
last night.

STARTED WITH A COLD"

So : Ono Of tho Created of American
Physicians and He Proves What He Says.
1T is surprising what mistakes even
some of the best people in the world
make"
The speaker was o of the greatest
doctors the world has ever known, and
he resides in New York.
Take for example one of the most
common things in the world, namely, a
cold. People speak Of taking cold,'
there is really no such thing.
"A cold is a symptom-an effect, not
a cause. Did you ever know an abso-
lutely well and healthy person who
took cold? / never have, even under
the greatest exposure. Yes, indeed, a
cold is a symptom, not a cause"
, The gentlemen and ladies 10 whom
the doctor was speaking exchanged
looks of establishment but they did not
dispute the words of the learned doc
tor"
You may be surprised" he contin-
of all colds occur because those great
organs of the body, the kidneys, are
out of order"
More men and women T troubled
with imperfect kidneys than with any
other known form of disease. The I'M
fortunate thing about it is that they
do not know that this is their trouble.
why? Because all difficulties, de-
rangements and diseases of the kid
neys which come to both men and wo-
men are usually without any pain; in
fact, without any symptoms whatever,
and this proves just what | said at first,
namely, that "a cold is a symptom
There vas a look of amazement Up
on the faces of his hearers.
Indeed" continued the doctor, most
deliberately and earnestly, 81 assert
that the grip, which has been so dis
astrous, which has brought SO much
trouble into the world, would never
have had its run if the kidneys of those
who had suffered from it had been in
perfect condition. These great organs,
if unclogged, would have thrown the
disease from the system so that the
grip would have been unknown"
"Now there is but one great discov-
cry for the prevention and cure of all
kidney difficulties-that great remedy,
Warmers Safe Cure. No class of peo-
pie know or realize this better than the
medical profession, and no class is
more ready to acknowledge it."
"Take my word, anyone who is care
full upon the first approach of a cold or
grip and goes right to the seat of all
colds-the kidneys-will not suffer
long from a cold; will not be oppressed
by the grip and need have no fear of
pneumonia, because the kidneys, I'M
clogged, will open up the system and
throw the germs of disease out of the
body. You can depend upon this"

The strike inaugurated at the coal
mines of the Wheeling Steel and Iron
Company's plant at Benwood on Thurs
day last at noon, ~effecting about thirty
five men, counting diggers and haulers
together, has been settled u%ncondition-
ally. 1t was declared off by the men at
a meeting held yesterday and this ac-
ton on their part is generally consid-
cred as the wisest possible means of
adjusting the difficulty under the exist
ing circumstances.
Notifications of the meeting were
made yesterday morning, and yesterday
afternoon the miners assembled in full
force at Curran's hall at Benwood. The
meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent William Davis at two o'clock and
was in session for about an hour and
a half, during which time, discussions
were in order and suggestions were
made freely. Messrs. Bowman and
Junkins, the two men whose discharge
from the mines by Manager Harry Rid
die, was the cause of the strike, were
not present at the meeting. However,
written communications were received
from the two men and read before the
assemblage, showing that they had no
intentions of ever again returning to
the mines for work even should they
be reinstated by Manager Riddle and
also petitioning the men not to remain
out on their account. After hearing the
communication, and considering the
contents, the men finally decided
unanimously to return to work. Man
ager Riddle was accordingly notified
of the mems desire to report for duty,
by a committee of the miners, COM
posed of William Parker and John
Ruckman, about four o'clock.
The mines will not resume opera
tons until the supply of coal, which
has been shipped to the works to sup
ply the pudding department and plate
mill, which were started up yesterday,
has been exhausted. There was not a
very large consignment of the product
shipped and it will not be long before
it has been used up. Manager Riddle
stated last evening that the mines may
be started up tomorrow morning and
if not then, some other time during the
present week. He also stated that
everything was in perfect condition at
the bank for a resumption of work by
the old men, but that the start would
not be made to-day, owing to a stock Of
coal now being on hands. The cause
of the discharge of the two men, as has
been mentioned, was a conversation
they had together concerning the i'm
pure air in the mines, and which was
reported to the manager by another
miner.
