the city oyerfOwed yesterday. Various
lake resorts bore the brunt of the storm.
Little news has come thus far from the
Mississippi sound, but no loss Of life has
been reported in that section. The Louis
vile & Nashville railroad is still crippled,
no trains having been run since night be-
fore last. The subsistence of the water,
however, makes it probable that the dam
age to the tracks will be quickly repaired
and that traffic will be resumed by night.
A large number of business men are still
bottled up on the coast and unable to get
to their Offices. The Northeastern road
has had some trouble, but the Illinois
Central has aided both the Louisville &
Nashville and Northeastern in handling
their passenger traffic. N&e Cromwell
liner Comus reached the city to-day. She
had no trouble in the storm and reported
no vessels in distress
Unknown Steamer Wrecked.
DR.. J. N, Thomas of the quarantine
station boarded the Comus near the mouth
of the river and told Captain Franklin
that an unknown schooner and small
boat had been wrecked in that vicinity
and six lives lost. No serious damage
was done to quarantine station. A report
from point below the city says the
tug Biloxi of Slidell, and two barges went
ashore and that the fate Of those on
board is not known. The report of the
loss of the Golden family of fifteen. above
quarantine station has not been confirmed.
At Shell Beach the wind has ceased, but
the water is rising and there has been
considerable damage to crops. Rice has
been damaged considerably.
The United Fruit company's steamer
Esther arrived here to-day. She expert
enced heavy winds, but was not injured
and saw no vessels in distress. The
Esther reported that there was no serious
damage at quarantine station, but that
considerable property had been swept
away at Port Eads. The fruit company
fears for the safety of another of its
ships, the Fulton. The Fulton left Cuba
fourteen and a half days ago and is now
ten days overdue.
Chung to Tree.
Captain Stevenson of the Esther brought
up with him Captain Dunham and four
members of the crew of the tug Biloxi.
The Biloxi capsized during the storm and
the five rescued men made their way to a
tree to which they clung until rescued.
They reported that two Of the crew Of the
tug were missing.
Captain Stevenson reported also that he
saw ships mast, possibly a fruiter's s
7-icking out of the water about nine miles

JOLIET MEN STRIKE
Illinois Steel Company Employees Go
Over to Shaffer

Joliet, Ill, Aug. 16.-The four lodges Of
the Amalgamated association employees of
the Illinois Steel company at the Joliet
mills, by unanimous vote, decided last
night to obey the strike order Of Presi-
dent Shaffer.
The steel mills were closed at noon to
enable the members of the association to
attend the meeting, which was called by
National Assistant Secretary Tighe. 1t
was argued that in order to Sc
cure the organization of non
union workers in the east, it was essen
tial that the western men would have to
join the strike movement.
This action will close the entire steel
plant here, throwing out of employment
nearly three thousand men.
The Joliet men had the same contract
with the Illinois Steel company as the
South Chicago workers, who refused to
listen to the arguments Of Secretary
Tighe.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 16.-Weather Fore

tions to-day:
The storm that has prevailed along the gulf

storm seems to be in a northerly and north
easterly direction. Normal barometric pres
sure is reported as far north as Cincinnati
The disturbance has caused heavy rains
over Alabama and northern Georgia, while
to the westward the rainfall in the past
twenty-four hours has been light The
storm is apparently moving a tri1e east of
north in the direction Of the eastern Ohio
valley, and it's influence will be doubtless
felt in that section Saturday. Heavy rain
falls were reported at Mobile, 37S inches;
Meridian, S.62; Montgomery, 1885, Atlanta,
1.90; Knoxville, LA.

he had learned of no loss of life.

An UneasineSs Concerning Military
Posts at Mobile Bay.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Some uneasiness
is felt at the war department concerning

Ninety-ninth companies OF coast artillery

tary posts are on a sand spit about thirty
feet above tide. No reports have been re-

Success of German Steamers.

AS for the serious loss of the Allan
tic express travel, few words will
explain why this was inevitable, keep
ing in view British environment The
British steamship lines sailing be-
tween Liverpool and New York con
vey passengers to and from Britain
only, with her 41,000000 of people.
The German lines sailing from Bre-
men and Hamburg to, New York draw
first from the whole of Northern Eu-
rope, then touch at Southampton and
draw part of the British travel, and,
not content with this augmentation.
crossing to Cherbourg, they draw
draw from Paris and all Southern Eu-
rope. Thus three fine streams of
travel feed their enormous fast ships,
the 300,000,000 of Europe are tributary
to them; and homeward from America
to Germany they draw all who wish
to visit or have business with any of
these millions, for the homeward ships
touch also at Cherbourg, Southampton
or Plymouth, and land passengers.
Against this the British lines have
only tributary to them 41,500,000 Of
people who desire passage to New
York. and. returning from America to
Britain. only those Americans who de-
sire to visit the 41,500,000 for pleasure
or business. II goes without saying
that the German lines must inevitably
lead in large. fast steamers. But no
cause for pessimism here. because
British shopowners are neither unen-
terprising nor inefficient; they only
show their good sense by recognizing
the situation, and will hold more OF
the profit OF Atlantic travel for Brit
ain than il they attempted the impos-
sible.-Andrew Carnegie, in the Nine

How New Jersey Does 1t.

The New Jersey law is well worth a
trial in the Southern States. 1t pro-
vides that the roads of a township be
placed under the management of the
township committee, and money be
raised by township bonds for grading,
macadamizing and improving the
same; bonds to be authorized by vote
of the annual town meeting.
The Board of Chosen Freeholders
Of any county may designate certain
roads as county roads, and improve
the same by the issue of county bonds,
The State shall pay one-third of all
cost of road improvement so authorized
by the Chosen Freeholders, within
certain limitations.
Whenever the owners of two-thirds
of the lands fronting on any public
road will undertake to pay one-tentb
of the cost Of improving such road. IL
is the duty of the Board of Chosen
Freeholders to cause such improve.
ments to be made.
All road taxes are paid in money.
Under the operations Of this law
New Jersey has built more good roads
in proportion to population than any
other State in the Union.

where We Are Lacking.

In almost every material thing the
United States takes first rank except
in the matter of roads. In this respect
1t is far behind the most enlightened
nations. In all the States some good
roads have been built, but would 1t
not add immensely to the growth and
prosperity of this country to have its
highways improved so as to be in har-
mony with all its other great improve
ments2 1t is the one thing in which
we are still lingering in the unrelieved
darkness of the Middle Ages; 1t Is the
one blot upon our escutcheon Of mate
rial progress; it is the one thing that
would benefit every man, woman and
child In the United States, and yet we
hesitate to do it.
Objections are made by many that
It Is not the duty of the General Gov.
ernment to aid In building roads; that
If 1t did 1t would place upon the Gen
eral Government the responsibility fol
the welfare of the people. But is moi
the General Government responsible
for the welfare Of the people? The
Constitution gives authority to build
roads for postal service. Why not
then. build them? The improvement
of our rivers is done for the welfare
of the people. Why should not roads
be built for their greater welfare
Both are highways. one by water, the
other by land.
