Ohio Militiamen Failed to Catch
WOuId-Be Bank Robbers.

MILLERSBURG, O., Aug. 15.-Company
1, Eighth Ohio Infantry, in command of
Captain Snyder, after securing the hills OF
Holmes county for two days in pursuit of
the robbers who attempted to loot the
Adams Bank, early Wednesday morning,
returned to Millersburg tonight and an
nounced that it had abandoned the chase.
The thieves were sighted twice yesterday,
but they quickly escaped into the woods.
They were chased through a cornfield into
another large area of woodlands. Night
came on and big rain set in and retarded
the chase The burglars crossed the Mon
egan river, one mile above Greersville, still
followed by the troops and posse OF citi-
zenS, about three hundred in number. and
finally reached the wild and rock country
near Danvile which has large forests and
underbrush and is especially adapted
place for outlaws to hide. There Captain
Snyder abandoned the chase and brought
his men back to the city. a posse of fifty
citizens is still tramping around in the for
est where the robbers were last seen, but
with little hope of capturing the men.

Indiann's Senior Senator Speaks to
Old Soldiers at Hutchinson

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Aug. Ex-senator
c. w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, was the guest
of honor at the state G.. A. r. reunion at
Camp General Sickles here to-day. Senator
Fairbanks addressed several thousand vet
Grams, and was accorded a warm greeting.
He paid a glowing tribute to the old SOL
diers, and, continuing, said in part:
"Our country has grown strong and great
In the arts of peace. Our material re-
sources battle competition Our advantages
suggest a future which no prophetic vision
is profound enough to measure Our war
with Spain, started in humanityS name,
was far reaching In its consequences. New
duties rest upon To them we are ad-
dressing ourselves with confident resolu-
ton.
''The first essential step toward success
abroad is unity of sentiment at home. Our
country was never stronger nor more firm
ly set in the affections and confidence of
the people than it is now. 1t is in no peril
from Imperialism within imperialists
without. We are held by common bonds to
serve well the state and protect it from
the polluting touch of anarchy, to hold it
to the course set by our patriotic fathers.
If we are faithful TO the opportunities
about and are inspired by the exalted
motives which actuated the Grand Army
of the Republic this Nation will continue
TO grow in material and moral strength
and ever stand for the most beneficent gov
ernment instituted among men,"

NEELY CASE DEPOSITION.
Former POstofHce Inspector SeybOld
Tells of His investigation.

Tells of His Investigation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 15.-In accord
ance with instructions received from At
torney General Knox United States Attor-
ney Woodwork has taken the deposition
of George L. Seybod in the case of the
United States against Charles F. W. Nicely,
the postal clerk accused of shortage in
accounts while in Havana. Seybold was
formerly a postoffice inspector. and was
detailed to investigate the management of
the Cuban system His deposition contains
the following information regarding the in
vestigation made on April %, 1900:
A small excess was found in the money
order fund, and when Neelys attention
was called to this matter, he said he was
in some doubt to the exactness of his
accounts. and that he had put in some
money so that there should not be any
shortage Neely had figures showing his
balance, but who furnished him with the
information Seybold could not say. The
balance in Neelys possession, the witness
stated, was similar to the ones furnished
as part of the equipment for the investi-
cation from the auditors office, which led
him to believe that Neely was prepared for
the investigation. The latter had no postal
funds on hand. He had stamps and
stamped paper, together with a certificate
in an amount sufficient to meet all bal
ances furnished by the auditor. The money
order funds were counted and correspond
ed with the statements furnished Seybold.
The postal material in all broken pack
ages was counted. The packages that had
not been broken, or where the seals ap-
peared to be intact, were taken at the de-
partment count
Neely told the witness, In explanation
of why he had no. postal funds that his
funds had been deposited in the North
American Trust Company's bank on Sat-
urday, and this was Monday. He produced
a certificate of deposit, showing that he
had made deposit of about 5000 on the
Saturday previous.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 15.--The storm
which has been sweeping the gulf coast
from Pensacola and moving westward dur
ing the past two days has Frustrated tele-
tent that news from the outlying sections
is hard to get. The greatest fears have
been entertained for the safety of the peo-
pie living at Port Eads. which is at the
mouth of the Mississippi river. and for the
ships that started for sea just before the
storm began. The wires to Port Eads have
been Frustrated since Tuesday night at s
O'Clock. but the Picayune reached a man
who left there at 2 o'clock Wednesday. He
was at Burss, which is sixty miles down
the river. and the firthest point with which
there is wire communication at the present
time This man describes the storm which
swept that section as a regular tidal wave.

awful loss OF life in 1898. He says all the
people living on the east bank of the river
fifteen miles from the mouth of the river.

mited while in port few days ago. Not
single vessel has passed up the river
since the storm. and fears are entertained
for the ones which are expected.
There is serious apprehension concerning
the Chenre Caminada and Grand isle sec
tions. on the south Louisiana coast west
of the Mississippi river. where two thou
sand lives were lost in 1898 by the tidal
wave. Up to this writing no word has been
received from that section. which is largely
inhabited by fishermen, mostly Chinese
and Malays
Up To last midnight everything seemed
to be safe at the Mississippi coast towns.
Bay St Louis, Pass Christian, Biloxi, Mis-
sissppi City and Ocean Springs, but since
then not a word has been heard from them.
All wires are down. but no great fear is
entertained. The only reports of damage
so far received are OF destroyed bath
houses and uprooted trees.
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad Is
blocked off beyond Chef Menteur. thirty
miles from this city. The big steel bridge
there is safe, but beyond there are several
washouts the road. The New Orleans
& Northeastern road is also blocked by
washouts on the lake. and its big trestle
over Lake Pontchartrain has been shaken
by the heavy seas breaking against it.
There has been much damage done at
Shell Beach. a settlement on Lake Borgne.
which is southeast of the city and con-
meets with Lake Pontchartrain. All the
buildings there have been swept away
and there reports of loss of life among
the fishermen. but the exact extent of this
is not known. A tidal wave swept over the
land there, as it did nine years ago.
DAMAGE AT NEW ORLEANS.
In the city of New Orleans and suburbs
has been done some damage. AT Milneberg,
of the resorts, the railroad pierhead run
ming out into the lake for distance of a
thousand yards has been destroyed and
all light buildings demolished. The big
buildings on shore withstood the gale.
There was no loss of life. The steamer
Neptune tied up to this perhead pounded
herself to pieces and sank.
At West End the lake rushed over the
revetment and destroyed nearly all of the
buildings there. The big dancing pavilion at
Lake View pounded to pieces by wreck
age. washed up by the waves. The shell
road to West End has been under three
feet of water and Bucktown, gambling
resort al the end of the revetment, has been
swept away. 1t 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 overflowed it's banks,
inundating the entire second district. A
thousand men have been put to work on it
and raising it's banks.
A coal fleet of 124 barges belonging to the
Monongahela Coal Company and anchored
at Coal Port nine miles above the city,
had a rough experience and every tug in
the harbor was sent up there to save the
barges. Six of them, with an aggregate
capacity of 5000 tons of coal. sank. The

Havoc I'm the Mississippi Delta, Where
Several Persons Are known
to Have Perished.
SUMMER RESORTS IN PERIL
SWEPT BY THE STORM THAT DROVE
THE GULF WATERS LANDwARD.


All the lowlands and islands along the
northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, from
the eastern boundary of Alabama to the
western border of Mississippi. have been
inundated. and 1t is feared the great dis
aster of 1898 has been repeated. For three
days the wind blew with hurricane force
from the east and forced the waters
of the gulf and rivers up five feet or more.
All wire and telephone communication with
the wave-swept region has been cut off
and details are meager. Reports from the
considerable loss of life. but there will be
no means of knowing the full extent Of the
disaster until communication is restored
with the numerous summer resorts and
Islands along the coast.
Part of the bUs mess district of Mobile.
Ala, is flooded. and nothing has been
heard from that city since 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when the Western
Union Telegraph Companys office was
abandoned. A dis patch from Atlanta Ga.
received early this morning says: up to
midnight no CON munication had been es-
tabished with Mobile. The Western Union
