The Supreme Councillor Goes Over
the Situation.

NEW YORK, Dec. H.-Howard II. Morse,
the supreme councillor and executive head

day that the reasons for the deficit of the
order were three in number:
Il. No provisions was made for a re-
serve fund when the order was started, in
1873. For sixteen years IL was managed
on a basis OF special assessments to meet
every claim that came due. The trustees
realized that this was not "a sound basis,
though ii was the plan followed by nearly
all fraternal societies, and I'm 1895 an at
tempt was made to equalize the dues OF
the members into a system OF regular
reliable tables of mortality. An expert ac-
tuary prepared this plan, and 1t would have
enabled the order TO meet all future obliga-
lions had the members supported it. Be
cause the payments were increased some
what, however, great many of the
younger members withdrew from the order,
and it has lost about third of it's mem
bership since 1895.

Boy Who Was Convicted of Cutting
His Playmate's Throat.

NEW YORK, Dec. H-Alexander Stew
art, fourteen years old. was to-day SEN
fenced TO twenty years Imprisonment for
manslaughter in the first degree. The boys
victim was a playmate, Edward Piesel,
whose throat Stewart cut while pretending
to shave him.
The young murderer heard his sentence
with a sneering smile. In imposing the
sentence Judge Fursman was moved to
tears at sight OF the youth and obduracy
of the prisoner.
Young Stewards record for viciousness
and a perverted nature dates back TO his
fifth birthday. He was hit on the head at
that time with a brick, and since then
has been deficient in all moral ideas. and at
all times has been as dangerous as a wild
animal.
Edward Piesel. also an inmate OF the
house of refuge, did not get on well with
Stewart, and one day the latter suggested
that they play barber, Piesel sat down
in the chair and held his head back
he had seen men do Stewart quickly cut
the boys throat. His victim lived only
short time.

RAIN AND WINDSTORM
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR AND GALE
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
City Cut OF from Telegraphic Com
24S,0OO Feet of Gas Liberated.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Dec. IA
storm of unusual proportions visited this
coast early to-day, doing considerable
damage in some sections. Telegraph wires
were Frustrated, and during the MOI ning
San Francisco was entirely cut off from
telegraphic communication with the out
side world The wind reached velocity
of nearly sixty miles an hour in this city
and greater velocity in exposed sections.
Thunder and lightning accompanied the
rain and wind. During the height of the
storm rain fell in torrents with almost the
proportions of cloudburst The wind
caused damage in many sections of the
city, but by far the greatest damage was
the overturning of one of the receiving
tanks of the San Francisco Gas and Elec-
trio Company at North Beach. Over 24S.-
coo feet of gas was released and caused
fire which did some damage. The loss to
the gas company will reach many thou
sands of dollars.
During the height of the storm several
houses were overturned by the wind.
fences were blown down and other dam
age done. The Western Union and Postar
Telegraph companies lost every wire out
of San Francisco. The damage to tele-
graph wires Is being repaired rapidly, but
this evening only partial service is being
given by the two companies. Most of the
damage done 10 wires was caused by the
blowing down of about 100 poles on the
Oakland side of the bay. Some damage
was done in the mountains, but nothing
definite can be stated as TO it's extent The
telephone company also lost many of its
long-distance wires. So far no marine dis
asters of any moment have been reported.
On the bay several boats capsiZed, but no
one was drowned, far known. Re
ports from points near San Francisco tell
of much damage, buildings being blown
over and unroofed in many sections, CHM
neys blown down and other damage done,
but so far no fatalities have been reported.
The storm ceased almost entirely at noon.
