A SURVIVORS STORY.
How Patrick Joyce Escaped From
the Doomed City.

How Patrick Joyce Escaped From
the Doomed City.
Houston, Sept. 10.-Among the refu-
gees which the Galveston, Houston and
Henderson train picked up at Lamarque,
which is about Az miles south of Vir-
ginia Point, was Pat Joyce, who resided
In the west end of Galveston. Joyce
told a narrowing tale of hardships he
had suffered and of his experiences to
reach the mainland after he left Calves
ton.
SIT began raining in Galveston" said
Joyce, Saturday morning early. About
8 o'clock l left for home. l got there
about IL o'clock and found about three
feet of water in the yard. 1t began to
get worse and worse, the water getting
higher and the wind stronger until it
was almost as bad as the gulf itself.
Finally the house was taken off its foun-
dation and was entirely demolished.
"People all around me were scurrying
to and fro, endeavoring to find places of
safety and making the air hideous with
their cries. There were nine families in
the house, which was a large two story
frame, and of the SO people residing
there myself and niece were the only ones
who could get away. 1 managed to find
a raft of driftwood or wreckage and got
on it, going with the tide l knew not
where. ! had not drifted far before l
was struck with some wreckage, and my
niece was knocked out of my arms.
could not save her and had to see her
drown.
81 was carried on and on with the tide,
sometimes on a raft, and again l was
thrown from it by coming in contact with
some pieces of timber, parts of houses,
logs, cisterns and other things which
were floating around in the gulf and
bay. l drifted and swan all night, not
knowing where l was going or in what
direction. About 8 o'clock in the morn
ing l began to feel the hard ground and
knew l was on the mainland. l wan
dered around until came to a house,
and there person gave me some clothes.
/ had lost most of mine soon after |
started and only Wore coat. | was in
the water about seven hours.
'"The Miller residence where I resided
was about three blocks from the gulf,
and there We're fully eight or ten feet of
water in this district when left. OF the
other part of the city l know nothing.
"The wind was blowing Saturday aft
ernoon and night about 75 miles an hour
blowing the water from the gulf and
completely covering the city. The people
of Galveston did not think it was much
at first and kept within their houses
consequently when the wind began blow.
ing as it did and the water dashine
against the houses, completely demolish
ing them, many lives were lost.
81 was in the storm which struck Gal
weston in 1875. but that one, bad as il
was, was nothing in comparison witt
Saturdays. 1t will be hard to tell how
much damage was done in the city, bu
it will be something terrible. The gull
and bay are full of wreckage of every de
scription, and it seems as if every fran,
house in the town must have been blown
down, judging from the amount of drift
wood that was floating about"

New York Sept. 10.-Now comes
Mrs James ]. Corbett, the bereft spouse
of the prize fighter, and proclaims her
belief that he has not sailed for Europe
Mt all; that he is still in New York; that
she loves him and he loves her. and that
his letter announcing that he had sailed
was simply an epistle penned for bluff
ing purposes.
By what reasoning Mrs. Corbett fig
ures out that her erstwhie beloved is in
hiding in this city she refuses to divulge.
She still sticks to her statement that the
Corbett Mccoy fight was a fake, and
that the details were arranged in her
fiat.
Here are the details of an interview
that was had with Mrs. Corbett last
night in her fat
She refuses to see a reporter, who
sent up his card, but said that he might
sit in the next room and converse with
her through her woman companion. The
reporter asked the woman companion to
ask Mrs. Corbett where Corbett is.

Europe" said Mrs. Corbett through her
woman companion. "He is right here
in New York this minute. I deeply de-
plore my hasty action in going to his
saloon, but 1 was wild with indignation
at the time.
II love Jim dearly and he loves me.
He wrote that he was going away to
try my love, and / know that he will
come back to me. say this in the hope
that he will see it in print and return
to his home and the love of his wife"

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS,

Saratoga, Sept. Ex-senator Hill break

ference with Mr.. Mcguire. Chairman
Frank Campbell arrived, and he at once
Joined Mr. Hill and Mr.. Mcguire in con-
ference. Beyond the fact that Mr.. Coler's
convention he persistently refused to
make any statement and all his follow
ers were equally reticent.
Senator Murphy, confronted with. the
statement that Mr.. Croker left with him
to decide the candidacy of Mr.. Maekey,
said: 1T is too early to say just who is
the man. So far the majority of dele
gates seem to be for Stanchfeld. Mr..
Mackey may increase his following"
Norman e. Mack, who is conducting
the Mackey boom, said: 1--WE believe
that Mr.. Coler is sincere and that, while
he is favorably disposed to Senator Mack
ey, he is not going to interfere with
Senator Murphy in the selection of a
ticket. He does not know Stanchheld,
but takes Mr.. Murphy's word that he is
good man. OF course he will naturally
throw his votes to Mr.. Murphy's candi-
date"

Murphy's position: Senator Murphy is
not unfriendly to Senator Mackey, but
he is anxious to nominate Mr.. Stanch-

been closely associated with him. He

Mayor Mcclure is rather seriously In
teresting himself in the ticket building.
He has talked to the labor people about
a labor candidate on the ticket, and they
have suggested the name of a Buffalo
man, but they refuse to divulge it until
Mr.. Mackey's candidacy is settled.
The draft of the platform has been
practically completed. 1t contains
strong Endorsement of labor interests, and
particularly the employers liability act

state issues it will emphatically demand
the repeal of the Ramapo Water COM

misuse of canal Improvement funds and
expose so called fictitious claims of credit

which has been secured by an increase of
assessments rather than by economic ad-

MAY BE NO STRIKE.
Coal Miners In the Anthracite Re-
.giOn at Work as Usual.


giOn at Work as Usual.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 10.-All the
mines in this region are operating as
usual Those miners who took their tools
out Saturday night in expectation that a
strike would be called had to carry them
back again. There is a better feeling all
around, especially in business circles, and
the impression prevails that the matter
of strike has been postponed indeh-
nitely.
The miners are of the opinion that un-
less the executive board of the United
Mine Workers has received some sub
stantial guarantee that the operators will
make concessions, great mistake has
been made. Every day that the collieries
work from now on is TO the advantage of
the operators, as the capacity of the
mines now, with modern machinery, is
such that a great quantity of coal can be
mined in short time.
1t is this fact more than anything
else that convinces the miners here that
there will be no strike. And if there is
no strike now it is the general opinion
that it would be suicidal to call one later
on when the winter trade is supplied and
the market is stocked with coal.
A diSpatcn 1roul ilaAleloh says
"There are no new developments in the
strike situation here. Every colliery in
the region is in operation, and business is
moving along at its usual gait.
"The delay on the part of the executive
board at Indianapolis in acting on the
strike question has increased the tension
in certain quarters, but the general opln
ion among the people seems to be that
the trouble will be altogether avoided, or
If a strike is ordered, it will not be so eff
fective as it would have been had the ma
tional officers of the United Mine Work
ers taken decisive action on Saturday
night"

A PANIC IN COTTON.
One Result of the Destruction

One Result of the Destruction
wrought by the Storm.
New York, Sept. 10.-The New York
Cotton Exchange was the scene of un-
precedented excitement, and the volume
of speculation far surpassed the business
of any previous day on record. 1t was an
other session of remarkable victories for
the bulls. who seemed at the close of
Saturday last to have cleaned the field
during the week then ended of every op-
ponent scoring rise of nearly 100
points.
The Liverpool cotton famine was the
sole cause of the bull movement during
that period but now an entirely new and
totally unexpected bull factor entered the
arena-the West Indian tornado in Tex
as. As that storm swept everything be-
fore it, so its influence created wreck and
havoc in bear circles in all cotton mar
kets the world over.
The storm speculatively was central

points on the very opening, September
touching 10 cents before any semblance
of a reaction set in. The market was

proved that it was anybody's market,
the swing of pendulations being at once
violent and of unprecedented scope.
Fortunes were won and lost within ten
minutes time of the start. and no effort
was made to harness the market, though
everything favored the bulls, some of
whom gathered in 125 and $50 points

REPAIRING OF BRIDGES.
An Opinion by the Attorney General q
South Dakota

An Opinion by the Attorney General OF
South Dakota.
An opinion by the attorney general
received by States Attorney Adams
OF Moody county upon request OF the
county commissioners respecting the
construction of section 3, chapter 33,
laws of 1891, which has involved more
or less dispute in the matter Of the
sharing OF expenses by counties and
townships in building and repairing
bridges, will be of interest to all sec.
tions OF the state. The attorney gen.
sral says:
THE section is somewhat ambig-
uous, but it seems to me that the
reasonable construction of it would be
that Whenever there are small repairs
to be made to the bridges. which do
not exceed $25 In amount, that such
repairs are to be made by the town
ship, and that whenever there are
larger amounts Of repairs, amounting
to less than 500, but more than S25,
the entire cost OF such repairs should
be borne by the county and township
equally, and that whenever a single
repair bill amounts to 800 or over the
county would be required to pay the
entire bill"
