Galveston, Tex. Sept. 1s.-It was a
dreary Sabbath in Galveston. Services
were held I'm the few churches made mt
for use since the great storm. All day
men and boys were at work clearing
away the debris. Only a few dead
were found during the day and they
were quickly burned, no attempt be-
Ing made to identify them.
The military and civil authorities are
now cooperating harmoniously In
Galveston and consequently there Is
less looting and desecration or coroses.
Sheriff Thomas is in charge of the
Isolated district and is directing inter-
ment and the recovery of property
there. United States Marsnal Grant
has been given full authority by Gen.
scurry and is directing Affairs on the
mainland, aided by troops OK rangers
who are ordered to make
short Work of Looters
and arrest all suspicious characters.
The rangers and the militia and civil
guards stationed at Texas City and
Virginia Point are under the direction
Of Marshal Grant. They are the two
points of ingress into the city. He also
has control over the railways running
into this city and all craft plying be-
tween Virginia Point and Texas CITY.
and no one can embark or disembark
at these places without his permission
unless having authority so to do from
his superior officers. The destitute.

md severely dealt with. The cleaning
up and disinfecting of streets, stores
and buildings is being diligently car
ried on, and the sanitary CONDITION or
the down-to portion of the city has
been greatly improved. Mayor Jones
stated there would be no abatement in
the work until the entire CITY ID
cleansed and disinfected. Dry goods
stores and clothing houses resemble
great laundries and every available
space is occupied with goods hung UP
to dry. Fortunately the weather Is
clear, hot and dry for this purpose.
Those merchants whose stocks were
but Slightly damaged have done
rushing business and SO have the res
taurants, but their stocks are very
limited, and fresh meat difficult to OBJ
tain.
Railroads Pushing work.
Since all the railways terminating
here have united upon one bridge, and
are pushing the work night and day
with a large force, reconstructing 1t.
while the tracks are being restored on
the island and mainland by large
forces, 1t is confidently asserted that

from the outside are receiving every
care and attention and are doing as
well as could be expected under the cir
cumstances, which are being improved
daily.

MINERS BIG STRIKE.
Both Sides Continue to stubbornly
Hold Out

Philadelphia, Sept. IS. - That the
strike of the mine workers In the an
thracite coal regions of Pennsylvania,
which President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America has officially
ordered to begin this morning, Will be
one of considerable magnitude, seems
certain from reports received from. the
region yesterday. 1t seems also cer-
tain that q number of operators viii
make efforts to run their collieries,
even though they be short-handed, but
whether they will be successful can
only be detrmined when the breaker
whistles sound the call to work. The
operators generally will have their
collieries in condition TO begin opera
tions, and the whistles will blow as
usual, but a large number OF the en-
ployers admit that there Is but little
hope of being able to start. Yester-
day was che of quiet throughout the
entire coal district. The mine workers
were orderly and their leaders were
busy addressing meetings to encourage
and enthuse the members OF the union
and to win over such of the non-union
men as they could. Many of these lat
ter, although not favoring a strike.
will II is the general opinion. remain
away from the mines rather than bear
the criticism and reproa aches of their
fellow workmen. An effort Is being
made to have Archbishop Ryan OF
Philadelphia act as arbitrator. Father
Phillips of Hazelton. who has been
iaboring hard to effect peaceful set
tlement of the labor troubles was In
conference at late hour with Presi-
dent Mitchell, Of the United Mine
Workers, urging him to delay the
strike until Archbishop Ryan shall
have exhausted his efforts.

How He Obtained Quiet.

At one of the meetings during Mr..
Moody's services in Kansas City hymn
sheets were distributed by the ushers
just previous to his address. He was
feeling very tired, and speaking was a
great exertion; so, fearing the noise
that would result should the audience
rustic them, he resolved to get rid of
them. He called out, "Will everybody
who has Il hymn sheet hold it up|'
The sheets were held up all over the
hall. Mr.. Moody shouted, Now shake
themw
Twelve thousand himsy sheets of pa
per were shaken vigorously. They
made an indescribably musical sound.
There is nothing to compare it with.
One can only say it was a vast rustic.
THAT will do" called Mr. Moody at
the top of his voice. The sound ceased.
"All right" said Mr.. Moody. "Now sit
on those hymn Sheets" The audience
sat on them. Having taken tins pre-
caution against interruption, Mr.. Moo
dy began his sermon.

Among the novelties shown at the
bicycle show in New York City is an
"autoquadricycle' a compromise be-
tween the bicycle and automobile. 1t
is four.wheeled vehicle, built on the
general plan of the bicycle, with a
gasoline engine mounted over the rear
axle. 1t carries two persons, one on q
seat like that of road wagon in front,
and the other on a saddle in the rear
1t is 36 inches wide and 46 inches from
center to center of axles, and will run
from 2! to 25 miles per hour, the engine
developing 1 horse power at moderate
speed. The ordinary bicycle for this
year is to be shorter and compacter
than heretofore, from one to two
pounds lighter and driven by bevel
gear. There is also a new coaster
brake.
