SURVEYORS WILL BEGIN
WORK MONDAY, SAYS
Mr.. AUSTIN.
THE MILL TO BE OURS.
Mr., Fox Says All Necessary Now
is for the Deeds to Be
Passed.

Pine Bluff has taken one big stride
in the right direction. The Austin
& Sawyer mill is ours, says Mr..
Austin, and SO says Mr.. Fred Fox.
For several days it was rumored
that the requirements had been met
and that the Austin & Sawyer mill
and railroad were assured things
that Pine Bluff had gone down in
the slit of her trousers and drawn
forth the wherewith to secdre them,
but this was not definitely known
to be a fact until Saturday. In fact
it was not fact until then. The
necessary subscription had been Sc
cured Friday, but this subscription
had to be perfected-put IN a com
mercial form-and necessary ar
engagements had to be made, and
Friday afternoon and Saturday
morning were consumed in this eff
fort. But now the strain is over,
and we are assured that work Vill
begin at once. Mr. Austin gave out
Saturday afternoon that corps Of
sixteen surveyors would be put to
work Monday locating the line for
his railroad to the timber district,
while large force of men will be
engaged at once OF the mill, and an
effort will be made to rush both to
completion.
Mr.. Fred Fox, President of the
Commercial League, was seen Sat
urday afternoon by the Graphic
man. Mr.. Fox said all that was
necessary now was for the deeds to
pass, and that the enterprise was
now assured.
1t is now understood that the
conditions under which this enter
prise has been secured places tne
company under no obligations as tc

FRIDAY EVENING, AUG. Ii, 1889

A COUNTRY life is conducive to re-
Aection-the most sadly needed quality
in the United States nowsdays-and 1t
is now and always has been, that for true
wisdom. all nations ofall ages have been
indebted to those who till the ground.
That it is so now in the South. patent
instance is afforded by the recent
enAacb of MI. Pope Brown, president OF
the Georgia State Agricultural Society,
in which. speaking of the race troubles
in the South, ne said:
The sou,h-haters of the North are at the
bottom OF ali the trouble, and we need not
,,sif4r ourselves that those South haters are
fr,q and far between. There are plenty OF
them. In my opinion the majority OF them
have no use for Us. except when they think
thev are making something out OF US. M.
Tbnrber of New York rendered Us great
service a few days ago by telling Us e1sctiy
%cbat he sud his people think Of us. think
il i time we we're letting them alone. QUIT
running after them and quit toadying 10
Them. The small politician also causes fTic-
ton between tire races
This is not at all complimentary TO
the Southern gusher, but that 1t ls sne
naked and rock ribbed truth is attested
by every intelligent Southern man who
has time to ponder over and reflect
upon what ne sees and reads.

The insurgent losses about Calulut

STORMS AND Loss OF LIFE.

Advices from different points IN the
West Indies show that many persisted
in the storm DOW raging in those local..
ties. Advices from the interior sections
are still meager, but they indicate that
whole villages have been destroyed and
large landed estates completely wreck
ed. Captain Swift, of the Fifth United
States cavalry, reports that a number
of bis troopers were injured. Many
natives are said to be buried under the
debris of their former homes. The
victims are now homeless and destitute.
In Porto Rico the hurricane has been
very severe. No definite returns have
vet been received from the southern
section of the island, apart from Ponce.
1t is certain, however, that the food
supplies in the stricken districts have
been destroyed, and, in these quarters,
the quantity OF government stores Cd
hand is small. Relief wagons will be
sent out 10 various directions.
Dispatches fcom the Island OF Marti-
niuue show that great damage has been
done there, number Of persons hav-
ing been injured and much property
destroyed.
From St. Thomas and other islands
in the West India group come the same
sad intelligence.
, An electric storm OF extreme severity
did great damage in Philadelphia last
night. 4 conservative estimate places
the damage at Il 900, 900. Trolley cars
we're struck by the tolts of lightning,
their glasses shattered and fuses blown
out. On all the suburban lines there
were washouts, the tracks were covered
with mud ard water, and the cars un-
Il bic to run. Lightning struck the mill
of Joseph Murray & Co., manufacturers
of flint glass, and set it aire, complete
" destroying it. The loss is 5000
Lightning struck several other buildings
and more or less damaged them. The
electrical display could be seen in the
northern and northeastern heavens
from the city.
A storm, which broke over the
SchuylkillValley, Pa yesterday evening
was the most severe experienced for a
long time in that section Of the State.
Great damage was done in the Alleg
heny Valley, south of Gibraltar, where
every bridge was carried away and all
the roads so badly washed that they
are impossible. The dam above the
forge broke, aud huge volume OF
water rushed down, four feet deep,
sweeping everything before it.
The West IDdia hurricane, which has
been raging since early in the week,
has been lost for the time being in the
waters to the north OF the eastern e1
tremity OF Cuba, where the Weather
Bureau officials reported it yesterday
morning The diagram on the wealth
err maps OF the bureau show that it has
travelled 10 almost straight line from
the place where it started in north
westerly direction, and if it kept in its
present course the storm reached Nas-
sau, Bahamas, this morning. Its pro-
gress has been very slow, with a di-
ameter approximating probably five
hundred miles.
