JUDGE FITzeERALD's NOMINA.
TON.

The nomination of Judge A. l..
Fitzgerald for the Office of Judge OF
the Supreme Court by the Joint
Convention of the Democratic and
Silver Parties is particularly crafty
ing TO the people of Eureka county,
where that gentleman has made his
home for 30 many years. Judge
Fitzgerald is a man Of unblemished
character, and his high n Of
honor and ability as q iurist pecu-
liarly fit him for o position on the
Supreme Court bench.
The nomination of the Judge was
q case of "the Office seeking the
man." for he had never been a pro.
nounced candidate for the office. On
the contrary, when he was asked by a
number of his friends in different
parts of the State to allow the use
of his name he replied that if he were
nominated unanimously by both
conventionshe would accept, but not
otherwise, and this is the manner in
which the homer came to him.
His friends and neighbors here are
proud of the distinction which be
has won, and heartily congratulate
him upon his nomination.

Texas Metropolis Rsxed ~ an Aw'
fuI Hurricane.

fuI Hurrtc8mes
A fearful hurricane swept over the
city of Galveston, Texas, on Sunday
last, as O result Of which at least 5000
people lost their lives. and the entire
city lie Q mass OF ruins.
Mayor w. G. Jones OF the devas-
tated city, in q dispatch to the Asso-
sisted Press, under date OF September
I2. says conditions there are vastly
worse than at fret reported. lie
places the number Of dead at 5000. as
a conservative estimate, while some
claim that 1t will reach 5000 or 10000.
More than hall the buildings OF the
place are entirely oblitsrated, and not
one escaped damage. While the wind
was doing its awful work, rain fell in
torrents, and q tidal wave swept up
from the gull, completing the work OF
destruction. Water flooded the streets
and on its surface foated hundreds OF
dead bodies, while among the ruins OF
the buildings the decaying remain oil
other victims pollutes the atmosphere.
Thousands Of people are homeless,
and suffering for the actual necessa-
ries of life. The Governor OF Texas
and Mayor of Galveston have issued
appeals to the people OF the entire
land for assistance and already the re-
sponses IRE pouring in. The Knights
of Pythias lodges throughout the
country have also been asked to do
what they can toward caring for their
stricken brothers, and it is certain that
answers will be rapid and liberal.
In the hurry and hustle OF the age
in which we live the fate of Galveston
will be quickly forgotten by the gen.
eral public, bat many will pause for a
moment and attempt to realize how
like a fash thousands OF happy homes
were swept away, and in their places
stand desolation, suffering and death.
