TORNADO IN ELIZABETH
tr'ets Of New Jersey City a Mass of
Debris.
NUMEROUS HOUSES WRECKED
Hurn Blown From Over n Man's
Horse and Wagon and the Outfit
Left Unhurt-Several Church,
es suffer Severely.

Elizabeth, N. j.. Aug. 4.-As the result
of tornado the streets in part of this
city are in terrible state, being blocked
ny uprooted trees roofs OF damaged
buildings, tangled telegraph, telephone
and electric light wires and debris of all
sorts.
crowds Of sightseerS have come to this
cltN from all the surrounding country to
view the devastation cause by the hurri-
cane. Most of them went first to the old
First Presbyterian church, where the
tornado struck with terrific force. The
sightseers crowded into the churchyard
) view t'lH havoc wrought among the
v's ~ Hprooting Of the big shade
,'"'"' naG n@H:iy impeded the workmen
Who were tyliH,: to clear away the fallen
,lVcS.
Scores of small boys swarmed over the
pile of broken wood III front of the
church, the remains of the tall white
spire, which had lcrn a landmark for
more than a century and visible for miles
around. Relic hunters were out in force
and carried away nails and pieces of
wood from the wrecked steeple as SOU
venirs of the strange storm.
The graveyard of the church is scene
Of confusion. Hardly one of the many
bic p|lns and naples is standing, all of
The biggest treas lying uprooted on the
groUjld. their great branches covering
l'9lf th" graves in the cemetery. Many
graves were disturbed by the uprooting
Of she trees. and the policemen had great
difficulty in keeping morhidly curious
small boys from the opened graves,
where Most Damage Was Done.
The tornado caused the most serious
damage in the district bounded by East
Jersey. East Grand, Madison avenue
William street, between Catharine and
Spring streets. WAS we'll nigh wrecked
by the storm, hardly house on either
side of the street escaping damage.
The tops OF five houses were carried
away by the wind, and one small house
was twisted half way around on its foun-
dation. SO one was injured, as the fam
lily was absent
Beebe'S greenhouses on East Grand
street Were completely wrecked by the
storm, and a barn belonging to butcher
of the name of Klemhans was carried
from over his horse and wagon, leaving
the outfit unframed. Even brick build
ings in the path of the storm were badly
damaged. and the bricks fell in showers
on neighboring houses. smashing roofs,
windows and skyliEhts everywhere.
The damage to the Central Baptist
church was nominal. as the building. an
old wooden structure. is to be vacated
soon. A new stone edifice opposite is al
most ready for occupancy by the congre-
CATION. The interiors of the Third Pres
bytelan and Christ Episcopal churches
We're seriously damaged by the rain,
which fell in torrents through the broken
roofs.
No accurate estimate Of the damage
caused by the storm has vet been made,
but it is believed that the tornado cost
property owners of the city at least
$50, 600. Fruit and shade trees were
blown down by the dozen, causing IL loss
which, while largely sentimental, has
vastly changed the appearance of several
Of the residential streets.

To miss sweet eyes where late they shone,
To look for what we may not find,
Long cherished forms that haunt the mind.

To live and miss them by one

PEACE WORK REVIEWED.


st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE Official
Messenger Publishes government com
munique review ing lengthily the result of
The Hague peace conference. After re-
fcrring to the sympathetic reception the
powers accorded the cars "uagnuni-
nous appeal for peace" it proceeds:
THE results of the conference have
fully come up to the expectations of the
government. 1t has been found neces-
sary for the conference to postpone q
definite settlement Of the complicated
question of the suspension of ornaments
until fully elucidnted by the different
governments Nevertheless the Tighten
ing of military burdens is already admit
ted by Unanimous resolution to be ur-
gently desirable for All nations.
"ON the other hand, the lubors of the
conference will doubtless exercise intlu-
cncc in regulating the customs of war and
stopping crueltins. The various states
have agreed to- uYp all their resources in
favor of the mnintcnance of peace and
the abolition of war. 1t is now an es-
tnhli>lrd fact that mediation, which
hitherto depended Oh the good will of the
states interested, can hen"eforward be
offered by ii third power on its own in
itintive."
The communQue concludes;
"Without impailing the sovereign rights
of the individual states. the results afford
Il fresh basis for international peace.
The necessity for solution of the cars
proposals IS admitted by ali the powers.
and the march Of events will indicate the
means to be employed in securing the
welfare of mankind and the full attain
mont of the ohincts in Wow"

MINE WORKERS TROUBLES.
reports submitted to the Executive
BO0rd of the United States.

indianapolis, Aug 1.-The executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America met in this city. The board
represents all the mining districts of the
United States, and within its jurisdic-
tlon are more than $4,000 union miners.
Each member of the board gave report
as to the progress the unions are making
toward increasing their strength in the
various districts. The national body has
several strikes on hand, and those diff
culties were also talked over.
Six hundred miners are on strike in the
Indiana fields and almost as many in the
central part of Pennsylvania. The largest
strike on at the present time is in the In
dian Territory district, where 5000 men
are out. Members of tive board say the
national organization has stood and will
continue to stand by all the mine strikers
of the country. They say the order is in
good financial condition and that every
contest is to ''be fought to n finish" The
board will not take up the question of
miners wages, as that il determined
every year at Il conference between the
miners and the operators.
