THE GALVESTON CARPENTERS
Their Representative Here Receives
an Appeal for Aid.

James +. Grimes, of Galveston,
Texas, who is in this city represent
ing the two Carpenters unions of that
city and the one at Houston, at the
national convention of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, yesterday received a letter from
the acting recording secretary OF Union
No. 526, of Galveston, informing him
that twenty union carpenters and
twelve of their wives had been drowned
in the recent food.
The secretary Of the union was
among those drowned. The letter goes
into a detailed description of the hor-
rible scenes attendant upon the terrible
catastrophe. The carpenters met as
soon after the flood as was possible,
and elected a relief committee to look
after all destitute members of the
union.
This committee has forwarded a
pathetic appeal to Mr.. Grimes, request
ing him to use his best endeavors TO
secure immediate relief from the ma
tional association for the carpenters 90
Galveston. They have just passed
through a long strike in that city and
nearly all were in a bad way when the
flood came, rendering them absolutely
helpless.
Mr., Grimes looks for a hearty and
generous response from the conven-
ton,

A Pitiful Case.
Grand Forks Herald, Dec. 9,

Grand Forks Herald, Dec. s.
A deserted wife and her three
children arrived in the city Friday
evening on the flyer fromsSt. Paul.
The woman, Mrs. Conboy by
name, told a most pitiful tale and
as investigation proved her story
to be correct, she was given assist
ance that enabled her and her
three children to proceed on their
way to their old home in Seattle
Her story vas substantially as fol-
lows:
She and her husband had made
their home in Seattle until two
months ago, when he left for Chi
cago. He is a barber by trade
and he told his wife when he left
that he would send for her and the
children as soon as he was located
there.
Mrs. Conboy waited for some
time, but received no word from
her husband. Nearly distracted
she finally sold her furniture, from
which she realized about $500 and
left for Chicago with the children
in the hope that she would find
her husband. After arriving in
the great metropolis she searched
in vain till her funds
we're about exhausted, when she
started back for Seattle. She
reached St.. Paul, where she was

Monday night to discuss the for
nation Of a social and business
club to be composed of all the

immediate vicinity. The object of
the meeting was stated by Mayor
Brown and the scheme was dis
cussed by M. Ri. Brennan, Richard
Daeley, A. E. Hodgkinson. W. IT..
Lackey and others. Everybody
present seemed to be heartily in
favor Of the new organization, but
all agreed that unless every bust
ness man who had the welfare of
the city atIheart would join, the
club would not be a success. The
membership should be at least 60
with no less a number than 40 to
organize. A committee of three,
consisting of @. w. Kelley, j. O..
Baughman and S. J. Small, was
appointed to solicit members.
