GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 1s.-One month
and ten days la elapsed since the storm

recovered daily does not decrease. Forty
two were recovered to-day. This makes a
record of 1H for the past four days. The
total number of bodies officially reported to
have been recovered is 2,9O7. A great many
bodies were found. however. of which no
report was made. 1t is not known how
many were carried out to sea or to the
mainland or how many still remain under
the debris. There is no reason ito reduce
the former estimate of the loss of life.

a dark brown shade, which is mentioned
as looking as though ten men had been
sitting on II for over 100 years. covers his
head. He generally keeps this on when

of thing really helps him with the peo-
pie and whether he wouldn't be more re-

A WARM CONTEST
For the Democratic Judicial Nomi-
nation at MiddIebOurne.
special to the Register

Special to the Register.
SISTERSVILLE, w. Va, July 25.-
At the Democratic Judicial convention
held in Middlebourne this afternoon,
there was very interesting time. The
fight for the nomination was between
r. E. j.. Snodgrass, of Wetzel county;
VIII A. Stricken, OF Richie, and NJ. r.
Grouse, of Doddridge. The Court House
was crowded with delegates and spec
tators Sept. Hall, of New Martins
vile, presided. Five ballots were TAX
en-, Grouse needing three votes to elect,
and there was no change. Finally Wet
eel county, seeing there was no chance
to get Richie away from Stricken for
their candidate, threw their support
and so did a part of Tyler to Stricken,
thus nominating Strickler. Every com
mittee appointed brought in two re-
orts, there being four on each commit
tee and they all split evenly.
The convention was in session from
eleven until o'clock and it is thought
the Senatorial convention, which was to
have been held to-day, was postponed
until tomorrow. An effort to get a
message through to Middlebourne fail
ed. and none Of the Senatorial dele
gates had returned late tonight.

There were twenty-five girls working

girls with their clothing afire crawled
through the windows to the fifteen
inch coping running along the front
OF the building. The coping extended
eighty feet to the building adjoining,
the windows of which were thronged
with men calling encouragement TO the
terrified girls. AS fast as they reached
the adjoining building the girls We're

Just as Mrs. Mclaughlin was about

fell to the pavement, dying instantly.

windows. One was picked up dead

PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO
ARE SPANIARDS STILL.
Great Demonstration Mt San Juan
Yesterday, in Honor of St. Jago,
Patron Saint of Spain.

Patron Saint of Spain.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July 25-From
end to end the streets of San Juan were
labyrinth of glittering Spanish flags in
honor of st. Jago, the patron saint of
Spain. Banners and bunting, suspended
from house to house. covered the
thereughfares and everywhere the ball
comics were richly dressed.
There was no attempt whatever to dis
play the American colors. The celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July was totally
eclipsed to-day. Then the citizens were
unable to raise a dollar for the purposes
of demonstration. Now there was no diff
ficulty in carrying through a programme
which must have cost 5000. Possibly six
native houses displayed the Stars and
Stripes. On the other hand it is estimated
that no fewer than $500 Spanish flags
were flung to the breeze. The day dawn
ed with the ringing of church bells, the
discharge of sky rockets and Roman can
dies, street parades and band serenades.
Business was entirely suspended. An
An elaborate ball at the Casino this even
ing concluded the festivities.
The real feeling of the people was ex-
pressed by bands of hoodlums who pa
raded the streets in the less respectable
flags and shouting ''Vive Espanol" The
fact that the day was the second ami
versary of the landing of the United
States troops under Gen. Miles seemed
to be forgotten here.

NO ACCOUNTING MADE.

The report calls attention to a war
rant for $500 drawn by Rathbone, June
30, 1899, for which no accounting was
made, and another $500 warrant drown
in May of the same year. 1t says:
From the records it appears that
Rathbone had drawn two warrants to
himself in the sum of $500 each, re-
ceiving the money thereon, and made
no accounting whatever for the same
to the department of posts. There
stands against him therefore the
charge of unlawfully appropriating
81 900 of the Cuban postal funds for
his own USE"
The report also calls attention to
many large expenses by Rathbone for
which no vouchers were filed, although
they could have been easily obtained.
For some months miscellaneous ex-
penses aggregated as much as $3.50.
Such items as repairs, 81" Freight,
$3.50" appear.
Reeves explained that he passed such
accounts because they had been allow
ed by the director general. The re-
port does not credit this statement,
saying:
"The evidence is too strong of col
fusion between Nicely, Rathbone and
Reeves
The total amount of these miscellan-
eous expenditures was 5000. A part
of this was probably legitimate, but a
large part was doubtless fraudulent

HOW HE GREW RICH.

When Nicely was assigned to duty in
Havana January Z, 1899, his salary
was $500. The report says he was
at this time financially embarrassed.
His account with the Union National
Bank of Muncie was frequently over
dawn. February 6, 1899, he sent
deposit of 1929 to the Muncie bank,
and in February and March his addi-
tional deposits aggregated $3.50. Thus
Nicely, with a salary of $3.50 a month,
was able within three months to de-
post s1,S59, conclusive proof that his
embezzlement began in February,
1899. In May he deposited 1897, June
$775, July 1868, August $13,125, Octo-
Der $20,250, and a number of deposits

NEELY'S SHORTAGE.

Shortage, as shown by his own rec
ords, s30,600; excess of credit by de-
struction of surcharged stamps definite
ly ascertained, $101,113; total, $131,-
713.
This will be increased by the discov-
cry of additional sales of surcharged
stamps, but will not exceed $4,000 in
the aggregate.
The report says that Rathbone ap-
pointed Nicely, who had custody of the
stamps; Reeves, the only man who
could have a check on Neely's trans
actions, and D. Warfeld, chief of the
bureau of registration, a commission
to destroy the surcharged stamps of
which Nicely had received $522, 900, and
that Nicely and Reeves entered into a
conspiracy to report larger quantity
of stamps destroyed than were actually
Neely's fraudulent transactions were
not confined to these embezzlements,
and while the amounts were small
compared with the latter, they show
the same official depravity and utter
disregard of the interests of the public
service"
The connection between Nicely and
the Nicely Printing Company, of Nun
Gle, Ind, of which he was proprietor
before he went to Cuba, is then ex-
planned. The alleged sale of the plant
of this company to Cowan, Neely's
business associate, the report says,
was not bona fide transaction, as it
is not believed Cowan ever paid Nicely
any money for his pretended interest.
Nicely ordered from this company sup
plies for the department of posts in
Cuba.
