DEALERS FORCED TO QUIT.



Storekeeper. 10 the Wall.
Owing TO the general high prices Of
foodstuffs, a large number Of Chicago
grocers and delicatessen dealers have.
been obliged 70 clnse their doors and seek
other vacations. The falling off Of trade
has forced 30 the wall numerous trades
men with small capital, who were un-
able 10 conduct business except at
heavy loss. Even the large WHOLESALE
dealers have felt the loss Of orders and
restricted shipments TO other cities
keepers Of small restaurants and OF
ice-cream parlors and other vendors Of
food stuffs similarly have felt the adj
vance in prices. Many have shut up,
shop and sought employment on salary.
Ii il said that the retail grocery business
has never been in such pyecarious fnan-
cia condition in Chicago as It is at the
present time. The worst feature Of the
situation is that the future holds out no.

LIKE A SECOND HELL GATE.
San Francisco Sees Duplicate of New
York Ex nIosion.

Thirty tons of nitrogelatine were ex-
ploded under Arch Rock, in San Francis
so Bay, the other day, ana thous ands of
spectators on shore three miles away wit
messed the spectacle. the greatest OF its
kind since the destruction of He'll Gate
in 1878. Two acres of solid rock were
lifted 300 feet into the air by the mighty
force of the explosion, and when the
maelstrom of foam and swirling waters
had subsidized Arch Rock, always a men,
ace to the lives of men and ships, had
disappeared from view forever.
The thousands of persons who lined the
shore three miles away expected heavy
shock, Il sudden unheaval of rock and
sea. and a tremendous conclusion which
might possibly throw them from theiI
feet. But it was not in this way that
the force of the explosion was TO illus
trate lis intensity. With no premonitory
signal or shock, the smooth green va
tiers of the bay began TO rise. Ihefe
were shouts of wonder, which increased
when an instant later a great bulk OF
milky white foam-surrounding the pyra'
midal base Of Arch Rock for several
hundred feet in all directiOns-began to
climb slowly into the air, completely hid
ing the rock.
There was no tossing of tons of water
high into the sunlight. The great bulk
of green water, capped with foam, rose
almost majestically into the air-1OO, 700
800 feet-and then still higher. 1t was
like a great black and green storm cloud
crested with vapor. The cloud of water
seemed to hover an instant when it had
reached lis greatest elevation. And II
was at this instant that the tremendous
force exerted by the thirty tons of nitro
gelatine was seen ana appreciated. For.
as the mass heSitated before its fall,
great pieces of rocks could be seen tum-
bling about in the smothering volume Of
water 800 feet and more above the sur
face OF the bay. Then the huge bulk set
tied slowly back into the bay and the
spot occupied by Arch Rock ever since
the memory of the Oldest inhabitant be-
gar was marked orly by slowly revolv-
ing mass of white foam.
1t took many months of work, with
specially invented tools 10 drill and cross
drill the thousands of holes in the base
of Arch Rock, but the elimination lasted
only n minute, perhaps two. The eXplo-
sion is said to be the greatest blast ever
set off in this country. The blowing up
of He'll Gate i'll the harbor of New York.
in 1873, consumed a greater quantity of
powder, but it was block powder, which
did not have the destructive effect of the
modern eXDloSiVRS

CHICAGO BANK SWINDLED.
Shrewd Deposition Is Now Thirty
Thousand to the Good.


1t has leaked out here, says the Inter
Ocean, that one Of the Chicago banks
was recently swindled out of $4,000 in
cash in a skillful manner. An effort is
being made to keep the matter secret,
and not even the name of the bank is
given. 1t seems that a depositOr of sew
eral years standing appeared a few days
ago in the bank presidents Office with a
draft on London for f6,O00 which was
perfectly good. The depositor informed
the president he desired to deposit this
London draft and at the same time to
check against it, presenting his check
for $4,000 for the president to o. X.
The latter put his initials on it and
thought nothing of it. The depositor
then went out into the bank and deposit
ed this London draft, and on the follow
ing day presented a check for $4,000
which was paid, the teller knowing that
amount was to his credit on the books.
Later in the day he again appeared at
the window and presented the check for
$4,000, which had been approved by the
president. This check was also paid.
Nothing mole has since been seen of the
depositor.

Devastating Tidal Wave Sweeps
the Gull Coast.
LIFE REPORTED LOST.
New Orleans ard Mobile Flooded and
Other Points Isolated.
Many Gulf States Are Swept and a
Heavy Loss of Life and Property Is
Feared-Ships Destroyed and Houses
Carried Away Resorts Along the
Coast Wiped Ont by Angry Elements
Greatest Flood Since 1895.

Tremendous storms on the Gulf Of
Mexico sent a devastating tidal wave
careening along the entire water front of
the Gulf States, sweeping away lives and
property, backing up the rivers, innndat-
ing thousands of acres Of low land and
isolatng important points The damage
to property is extremely heavy, and it is
feared. that the loss of life will be appal-
ling. Communication was cut off with
districts where the chances for fatalities
were greatest.
Mobile, Ala. Thursday night was COM
pletely isolated. Great damage has been
done there along the water front, and in
the lower part of the city. What loss of
life there has been in Mobile can only be
conjectured. At 1870 O'Clock in the after
noon the Western Union Telegraph office
there was abandoned. About that time
there was three feet of water in the
operators room.
The Associated Press operator made
his way to the operating-room in a boat.
He took q position on top of the switch
board several feet above the flooded Of
flee and succeeded in detaching his wire
from its place on the board. Then by
dint of labor and through contortion of
the body he sent the following message:
TAM on top of the switchboard here
with a Hneman. The water is over three
feet deep in this room, and it is still ris-
ing The wind is blowing al the rate of
Fifty miles an hour, and we look for
worse things tonight. The business dis
trict is deserted"
Here the wire failed, and nothing more
could be gotten from the plucky fellow,
though repeated efforts were made.
A report from Mobile received over a
railroad wire in the afternoon said that
was carried away and several employees
were killed. In and near New Orleans
vast stretches of land are under water,
there is much suffering among the poor
in the flooded districts, and along the
Mississippi River.
Reports from points in Alabama and
Texas show that a hurricane of unusual
fury devastated an immense strip. of
country. 1t was regarded as probable,
from the nature of the bulletins, that not
only have railroad and factory properties
been extensively damaged and traffic Grip
pied, but that hundreds of people have
been drowned.
1t is also feared that thousands of
acres of rice fields have been laid low by
the wind or covered deeply by the water.
There was a general tie-up along several
branches Of railroad lines, the Louisville
and Nashville being particularly hard hit.
Shipping interests were also imperiled,
and there were many stories that num-
Der of ships had gone down, all on board
being lost.
