ABOUT THAT REGISTRAR.
Does He Mean That MT Blair Leaned
 Toward the Democrats9

Editor of the Democrat:
 Sir: In an article published in yes terday's Democrat regarding the fight for the office of republican registrar Of voters, prominent democrat is cred ited with having stated that had it not been for the fact that John Blair is a straightforward man the democrats would have been i'll the soup on more than one occasion. don't know whether this is true or not, but sup posing it is, is it any reason why the republican party should continue him in office! The democrats have man of their own to look out for their in terests, and as he is paid as much for his services as the republican registrar it is only right that he should do his full share of the work. If he does not do this and as consequence, his party some day finds itself in the soup, that will be no affair of ours We want a republican registrar of voters. Let the democrats look out for their own end of the game.

\ NEW STATION.
Waterbury Is Shortly to Have One, If
 Rumor Is Reliable.

It was learned. from q reliable source. yesterday. that new union sta tion would be erected at Waterbury by the New York. New Haven and Hart ford railroad and that the building now being used as a station would be razed and done away with altogether.
 The present structure is an eyes0re and the officials have for some time past been contemplating the erection of a new one. but they have been, until quite recently, unable to secure plans which they considered would make q suitable station for city the size of Waterbury, and the choice of suitable location has also caused much delay
 The first obstacle has now been eil- minated and plans have been prepared which while not officially pronounced satisfactory, are thought to be of sufn- cient merit to be adopted.
 Just where the new station will De located is a matter of conjecture, but if will probably be near the old station
 It may be some time before work on the depot is begun for the double track inc of the NaugatucIx division to this cify will necessarily be completed first.

NEW THREAD MILL.
Plans for Converting the Glasgow
 Plant at South Hadley Falls.

Springfield, Aug 9.-Plans are being made to convert the plant of the Glas- gov mills in South Hadley Falls into q thread mill, which, if successful, will be run as an independents concern out side of the American Thread Co.
 c. Fayette Smith, one of the receiv- CTS. says: Progress so far has been satisfactory, but as the stock is widely scattered it will take some weeks yet. Some of it is as far off as Pennsyl- vania. We ought to know this month what will be done. The thread busi- ness allows of starting with much smaller capital than the goods manu- factured by the Glasgow Mill Co, or any other cotton cloth for that mat ter"
 It is said that the new plan has ann pie backing, and that an experienced man has already been secured to take charge of the plant when the control of it is secured.

STORM CAUSES MUCH
 ANXIETY IN MONTGOMERY

|rhe meager details of the storm on the Gulf coast caused much anxiety in Montgomery yesterday. A number of Montgomerians are spending the sum mer in the vicinity of Mobile and along the coast between Mobile and New Orleans. and news was eagerly sought by the friends of these persons.
 There Is a small colony of Montgom- cry people at the Seashore Camp Grounds near Biloxi. Among these are MT. and Mrs. Brooks Flowers. Mrs. J. H. Lakin, Mrs. w. T. Riley and fam fly, Mrs. Loren Williamson, Mrs. R. T. Bishop, Baldwin IWestcott and Ar thur Hannon. ...'
 It is said that there are several per sons from Montgomery at Point Clear, Coden and other resorts in the vein ity of Mobile.
 MT. W. T. Riley left yesterday aa il o'clock for the Seashore Camp Grounds. He told his friends that he would advise them if he reached there. They have received no message from him and the presumption is that he is on the train which is said to be led up at Magazine Point, six miles north of Mobile. This train was unable to enter the city.
 Several persons from Mobile are in Montgomery ard these with persons who have relations and friends on the Gulf coast besieged the telegraph and formation. All wires were down and no definite information was to be had.
 More reassuring advices were re- ceived late in the night by way of New Orleans that 1t was not believed that any lives had been lost at the Gulf coast resorts.

reports received of damage done be- tween New Orleans and Mobile, 1t Is believed several days will elapse before the wires are restored.
 Up to midnight no communication had been established with Mobile.
 The Western Union here has hun dreds of messages for that city, consist ing mainly of inquiries as to the where abouts and safety of people. from all parts of the country, but is unable to move one of them.
 The one remaining wire from Atlanta to New Orleans. routed via Jackson and Meridian, Miss, failed at 11:so p. m.
 Forecast of1cial Marbury said to- night:
 The Port Eads report on the wealth CT conditions has been missing two days and that from Mobile twenty four hours. This storm will probably move up the Mississippi Valley and then eastward to the Atlantic Coast. Atlanta Is likely to get touch of 1t in heavy rains or high winds tomor- row. Emergency warnings were sent today to over 100 towns in Alabama in- dicating heavy rains and high winds for Friday"

GALVESTON HAS
 NOT BEEN TOUCHED

Galveston. Tex, Aug. 15.-The Gulf storm which has been reported by the Weather Bureau since Wednesday has been watched closely here. The hurri- cane signal is flying here as a warning to shipping. but the Weather Bureau. since morning has been emphatic that the storm would strike inland to the east of Galveston. The tide here to- night is normal and no uneasiness is felt for Galveston Island.
 It would not be surprising if several Galveston steamers put into Key West or Pensacola within the next day or two for repairs as a result of having been in the storm off Port Eads in the early part of the week. Steamers which left here on August might have passed 1t. or they might have run into it. The Mallory Line steamer Neuces. which was due from New York on Wednesday. had not arrived this evening.
 The steamer Ceres left here on Au- gust for Rotterdam with a cargo of wheat.
 The steamer Alnmere. which left for Havre with 16s.00o bushels of wheat on August may have also encountered the storm.
 On August 10 the steamer Ponare left for Havre with 16.oo0 bushels of wheat and miscellaneous cargo; Enidwen with 19s.367 bushels of wheat for Antwerp and the Blodwen with 153.005 bushels of wheat for Rotterdam
 I've sailed on August 12. The Selma. with a full cargo of wheat for Ham, burg, sailed in the morning, and the Harrison Line steamer Orion, with a full general cargo for Liverpool. sailed at noon.
 The steamers which sailed on the 10th and 12th are almost certain to have encountered some portion of the storm.

NEW ORLEANS
 ALSO SUFFERS

New Orleans, Aug. 15.--The storm which has been sweeping the Gulf coast from Pensacola and moving westward during the past two days, has prostrated telegraph and telephone wires to such an extent that news from the outlying sections is hard to get at. The greatest fears have been enter tained for the safety of the people Hv- ing at Port Eaas. which iB-Et the mouth of the river, and for the ships that started for sea just before the storm began The wires there have been prostratad since Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, but The Picayune reached a man who left Port Eads, at ? o'clock Wednesday. He was seen at Buras which is sixty miles down the river, and the farthest point with which there is wire communication at the present time.
 This man described the storm which swept that section as a regular tidal wave, similar to the one which resulted in such awful loss of life in 1893. He says all the people living on the east bank of the river have moved up to the Jump" which is fifteen miles from tffe mouth of the river
 The house of a man named Golden, half a mile above the quarantine sta tion, was swept away. and the fifteen members of the family, including nine children, drowned. The quarantine buildings were badly damaged, but no one injured. The big tow-boat Cham berlain was driven high and dry in the marsh. but her crew are safe: The Government boat General Reise is be- lieved to have been lost. Captain O'Brien's house was swept away, but he was on the boat which was believed to be outside. The pile-driver at Port Eads was sunk. The steamboat Buras was driven ashore near the light house and later it was reported that she had sunk. Her crew were said to have been saved. .".-

URrBE- URIBE NOT DEAD.
He Gained Complete Victory Over
 the Venezuelans.

New York. Aug. 15.-The Tribune says:
 "The Colombians here. who discred- ited the report of tteir government that General Rafael uribe- Uribe had been killed in battle were right. Two communications have been received from the rebel chief by Dr. A. j.. Res trepo, representing the Liberals in this country.
 These not only overcame all doubts as to whether General Uribe- -Urtbe is really alive. hut conveys the further news that he Is in the thick of the conflict. One was a letter dated Au- gust 3. at San Cristobal. Venezuela, and the other a cable dispatch From Maracaibo. dated August 5, which had been sent for transmission from the former place.
 'GeRaral lguruan announced that General lTribe was killed on July 27. The Maracaiho message said: Com plete victory over invaders under Gen. eral Golenzeza Veplanza.'
 This refers to the invasion of last Friday and explains the complicated affairs Jn the Venezuelan and Colom- bian frontiers. It proves. too. Colom- hians here said. the correctness of a report from another source that Gen
 
 reality is commanding the Venezuelan army which defeated the invaders from Colombia.
 Tt is further asserted that President Ciprino Castro of Venezuela, cabled to General Uribe- Uribe, when the lat ter was in this city, to come immedi- ately to his assistance when he learned of the attacks being prepared at Cocu- tua. This request accounts of Uribe's hurried departure for Venzuela. The Venezuelan Government. to avoid trouble. has claimed that General Celestino Castro. 8 brother of the President, led the troops in these bat ties.
 Paul Parez. Secretary of the Liberal diplomatic agency, said yesterday:
 The Colombian and Venezuelan Clericals organized an invasion against the Liberal Venezuelan Government, and on the other side the Venezuelan and Colombian Liberals prepared themselves to meet the invaders at the front. General Uribe- Uribe is at the head of the Colombian element of that army Most likely he was the com manding General who obtained the two victories of July 20 and August g.
 Venezuela has no reason to declare war against Colombia, because the Clerical invasion has been completely defeated, and before two months lapses the Liberal party will be in power in Colombia. On the other hand, the Clerical government Qf Colombia is not in position to declare war against Venezuela
 "In his letter, General Urbe- Uribe, besides saying that he hopes soon to be on his way to Bogota, does not mention anything of his future plans"

has been under three feet of water, and "Bucktown." gambling resort at the end of the revetment, has been swept away. It was at the mouth of a canal and the sweep of water into the canal from the lake carried everything before it.
 The old Basin canal coming into the city on Toulouse Street overfiowed its banks. inundating the entire second district. A thousand men have been put to work and are raising it's banks.
 A coal fleet of 124 barges. belonging 10 the Monongahela Coal Company and anchored at Coal Port. nine miles above the city. had a rough experi- ence and every tug in the harbor was sent up there to save the harges. The towboat Henry Marx. belonging to the Interstate Transportation Company pounded a hole in her bottom ct Gret-. na this morning and sank.

THE C0LOMBIANS BEATEN
Defeat of Venezuelan Army
 in Previous Engagement.
General Rafael Uribe- Uribe is Not Dead, But There are Conflict ing Stories as to His
 Whereabouts.

New York. Aug. 15.-Details regard- ing the venezuelan-Colomb conflict of July 2s have been received and con- vey the first intimation that the battle was a serious one. The engagement was fought at Las Pillas, La Parada and Princes, and lasted twenty-six hours.
 The Colombian forces were compelled to retire, but not before HOO on beth sides had been killed and wounded. Among these were General Rescndo do Medina, of the Venezuelan side. and four colonels.
 The army of 5000 invaders was di- vided into twenty-eight regiments. one of which were of the regular Colom- bian army, commanded by Government officers and using the army artillery.
 Because of the strict postal. press and cable censorship exercised. the victories won by the rebels in several battles were until now given as mere rumors. A list of these battles were among the adviees received by Dr. Restrepo.
 On July 10. according to insurgent advices, General Jesse NJ. Castello de- feated the Government troops under Luis Velez at Palmfra, taking many prisoners and supplies.
 General Clodomira Castillo won a battle over regiment that attempted to intercept .his command in it's march to Rio Hacha. General Marin's forces have won several engagements, and now practically control the Department of Tol.ma. Two other battles with fa- vorable results for the rebels, took place at Maranzas and Gatun, Depart ment of Panama.
 Four battles have been fought dur- ing the last month in the south of Cauca, which were also Government defeats, though details are lacking.

->sAohSos Nosp <AhSs hC tiopiSdi storm which has been raging along the Gulf coast for two days has tonight completely isolated the city of Mobile, Ala. from the outside world. It is known that considerable damage has been done along the water front in loss of life or not Is mere conjecture. Nothing has been heard from the coun- try south of Mobile up to the time the last wire to Mobile failed.
 At half past four this afternoon the Western Union office in Mobile was abandoned. the water at that time be- ing three feet deep in the operating room.
 Two hours later communication was had for a few minutes with Mobile. The Associated Press operator there had made his way to the operating room in a boat. He took up his posi- tion on top of the switchboard, several feet above the flooded office and de- taching the Associated Press wire from it's place in the board, sent this mes sage:
 Am on top of the switchboard here with a lineman. The water Is over three feet deep in this room. and 1t is still rising. The wind is blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour and we look for worse things tonight. The business district is deserted" Here the wire failed and nothing more could be heard from him although the most persistent efforts were made.
 The water at p. m. was reported as high as in the great flood of 1893, al- though at that time the wind was not as high.
 SUMMER RESORTS
 IN STORMS PATH.
 From Mobile to Fort Morgan is a distance of thirty-five miles and on both sides of the bay, summer rSsorts and summer homes are located. These were. it Is believed. in the direct path of the storm. The telegraph line to Fort Morgan runs around the bay through the country and covers eighty five miles before 1t reaches the gov ernment reservation.
 It is feared that there has been some loss of life on the islands in Missis- sippi Sound, located just outside the bay below Fort Morgan. These islands, which are inhabited by French fisher men, rise only four or five feet above the water under ordinary stage, and were the scene of great loss of life in 1893.
 According to advices received in Atlanta, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has washouts near Chef Men teur, Lake Catherine, Lookout and Rigolets. Several miles of Louisville cad Nashville track through the Tensas swamp east of Mobile. is reported un- der water. All trains have been aban- doned for the present. Several bridges are reported out of plumb.
 VERY HIGH WINDS ARE
 PREDICTED FOR TODAY.
 The weather officials here sent out special warnings tonight forecasting high winds for Alabama tomorrow.
 The Western Union Company has ga ngs of men and special engines wait ing at several points to move towards Mobile as soon as the tracks are clear of water. It Is possible that they may restore communication from this side within twenty-four hours. but from
