Schooner Badly Dama ged-Crops
Destroyed = Dismal Swamp Canal
Opened
Norfolk, Va, August 26.-The total
damage to the schooner Frank w. Nc
Cullough consists of the loss of main
sail, jib and foremast head, badly split
foresail and swept decks. The seas
washed into her water butts and the
crew had to drink the salted water for
four days. All will be in condition af-
ter resting few days. She will re-
pair here.
The Dismal swamp ship canal is now
open to traffic and the first schooner
will pass through Monday. This will

A visitor from the sound region to-
da.yftated that not over one-third of
a=4--.SAesof corn could be gathered this
year, many farmers having lost, their
entire crop.
Where not utterly destroyed it was
lodged, beaten down and rotted on the
stalk. Much fodder was lost, hay and
late grain crops were ruined in the
eastern section. Even the foliage of
the trees for many miles inland is
blasted and appears as if a fire had
swept the section. 1t is q scene of des-
olatiOn and ruin.

The POstOffice at Peak. Fla, Discon.
tlnued

Washington, August 26.-The post
master general today ordered the dis
continuance Of the postoffice at Peck,
Fla, because of the recent whitecap-
ping of the postmaster there. The dis
continuance follows closely a report re-
ceived from Postmaster Crum and veri-
fled by report telegraphed this after
noon by Postoffice Inspectors Tate and
Bass, who were ordered to investigate
the affair. The United States district
attorney is now on the ground prepar-
ing a prosecution Of the guilty parties.
A reward Of 5000 will, it is state, be
offered for the arrest and conviction of
each OF the assailants. Postmaster
Crum in reporting the occurrence says
that he was proceeding from the post
office to his home, short distance
away, when he was confronted by a
party of sixteen men who took him
from his horse, bound him hand and
foot, removed his clothes and whipped
him with switches. After this, he
says, the men poured carbolic acid on
his wounds and saturated his back with
it, causing intense agony.

A Lake Steamer Burned

patch from Painesville, Ohio, says that
a steamer was seen on fire off Fairport
about o'clock tonight. Tugs and the
life saving crew have gone out to the
vessels, which appears to be helpless
and drifting. The name of the boat
is not known, but it may be the City
or Erie, which left here for Buffalo at
s o'clock with more than 1000 passen-
gers on board
A dispatch received from Fairport
at midnight says the burning steamer
is a freight boat. The big passenger
steamer City of Erie, which was at
firsf thought to have been on fire, pass
ed the drifting wreck shortly before IL
o'clock and was distinguished by her
search lights. The name of the burn
ing steamship has not yet been learned.

night for the purpose of winding up the

poles, as it was found that the company
was using a number of poles between mere
and the river The company refused to
pay except for the 101 poles, on the ground
that IL did not own the poles between the
center of the city and the river. 1t claimed
to only own the poles from the local tele-
phone exchange to the eastern limits OF the
city and sent n check for $lO1 In payment
for the tax on these poles. The matter
was referred to the city attorney with a
view to bringing suit.
The council Is of the opinion that the Ne
braska Telephone company should provide
the city with free telephones and a com
mittee consisting Of Alderman Casper, Chris
tensen and Sayles was appointed to confer
with the company
Chairman Test submitted the report of
the commercial committee for the last
