TERRIFIC
STOR M.

Atlantic City, N. j., August l5.-
Crowded with passengers, the sloop
yacht leila, Captain William Somers,
was wrecked a mile and half off the
city this afternoon at 4 O'Clock and
pitched and rolled helplessly in a
heavy sea for two hours befors she
was picked up.
The passengers, with a single ex.
ception, succumbed to seasicknesS
and increased the difficulties OF the
skipper. who kept up their courage
with assurances that they were in no
danger.
The sloop was running before a
stiff breeze for the Inlet with three
reefsin hermainsail, but with her top.
sails going.
AS she was heading for the Inlet
buoy, u squall came up, and in an In.
stant her topsails went overheard. A
moment later the mast snapped in
twain. A ton or more spars, sails
and rigging came down with a crash
over the heads Of the passengers,
burying some Of them from sight.

Atlanta, Ga, August 15.-The
tropical storm which has been raging
along the Gulf coast for two days has
tonight completely isolated the city
Of Mobile, Ala.
1t is known that considerable dam.
age has been done along the water
front, but whether there has been
loss of life or not is only mere con-
lecture.

doned, the water at that time being
three feet deepin the operating room.

1t is still rising. The wind is blowing
at the rate Of so 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, al
though the most persistent efforts
were made.
The water at P. NJ. was reported
as high as in the great flood of 1898,
although at that time the wind was
not as high.
From Mobile to Fort Morgan is a
distance of 35 miles, and on both sides
Of the bay summer resorts and sum.
mer houses are located. These were,
it is believed, in the direct path of
the storm.
1t is feared there has been some
loss of life on the islands in Mississippi
Sound, Just outside Of the bar, below
Fort Morgan.
These islands, which are inhabited
by French fishermen, rise only four
or five feet above the water under or.

The didn't know it was loaded gun"
claimed victim in Ole Peterson, a
carpenter employed at the Ursuline
convent at Miles City Friday. The
wound, fortunately, was not serious.
The gun, a 22-calibre rifle, belonged
to a son of Professor Leavenworth and
was being examined by Albert Trus-
cot, who snapped the hammer, not
knowing it was loaded. Peterson
was about 100 yards off. The bullet
entered the right side of his face in
front of the ear. About a half inch
higher would have landed it in his
temple. It has not been found, but the
physician thinks it took a downward
course and stopped in the muscles of
the neck.

TORTURED BY FILIPINOS
Unusual Acts of Barbarty and CRUZ

Washington. Oct. 23.-The re|ords
in 20 court martial cases wherein the
charge was murder have been re-
headquarters OF the division of the
Philippines. In the majority of the
cases sentences of death by hanging
were imposed and approved. All of
them bore features of unusual bar
barity and cruelty, in some so marked
as to warrant special mention. In
one of the latter five natives, mem
bers of an armed band of outlaws, en-
tered the home of native named
Ragudo, seized and bound >his son,
hanged him up by rope and tied
his father and mother by their elbows
to rafter. They then demanded
money of their captives, and the forth
coming amount not being sufficient,
they wrapped rags saturated with oil
about his feet and legs and set his
clothes on fire. For two hours the
torture was continued, blows from the
butts of rifles, flats of bolos and fists
being rained on the helpless captive,
while to add to his suffering his young
daughter was struck down by a blow
from a bolo on her head. Ragudo
fingered in agony from the effects OF
his torture for five days and Their
died. All five of the natives were SEN

Pastor Of Polish Church to AttenA
His Last Hours.

Auburn, Y. r., Oct. z3.-In accord
ance with Czolgosz's wishes, the Rev.
John j. Hickey, pastor Of the Church
of the Holy Family and the Catholic
chaplain Of the prison, has appointed
Rev. Father Szad zinski, pastor OF the
Polish church Of Rochester, to attend
Czolgosz in his last hours. He visited
the assassin. Czolgosz never practiced
religion. and as an Anarchist denounc-
ed all it's tenets He will make state.
lnent to this eeffct before his death.
Czolgosz's request for a priest of
his own nationality was made known
10 Warden Mead yesterday morning
Yesterday afternoon he went TO the
prison and remained there about an
hour. Upon leaving he was seen by
n representative of the Associated
Press, but refused to be interviewed,
saying that his visit to the prisoner
was in the interest Of another Pole
confined there. Warden Mead, how.
ever, says that Father SzadinsM saw
Czolgosz, and that he came at the
prisoners request. Further than that
the warden would say nothing. Father
Kelly who accompanied the Polish
priest to the prison, also stated that
Czolgosz was visited. 1t is learned
that Czolgosz was baptized in the
Catholic church. but never received
his first communion, nor was he con-
firmed in that church.
Father Szadinski urged him to re.
nounce his belief in anarchy and re.
turn to the faith of his early years.
Czolgosz declared his inability to do
so, and he was informed that unless
he could the consolation of the church
would be denied him. Before taking
his departure he left with Czolgosz
some Catholic literature printed in
Polish, and also some emblems of the
church Czolgosz assured Father
Szadinski that in case he determined
to accept the Offices OF religion he
would send for him. but he did not
hold out much hope that he would re-
nounce the doctrines of anarchy.

A RING NECkED TRIBE.
Curious Custom of the PnIoungs of
Burma.

Burma.
An officer of native troops was on
outpost duty at Fort Stedman, in the
Shan highlands, Burma. and was sent
on I'm expedition to a wild part of the
interior, where presumably foot of
white man had never trod tefore, says
the London Sunday Magazine. Here
he came across a tribe called Paloungs.
He observed the women were decorat-
ed with curious coils of brass round
neck. arms and legs and on inquiry
found that it was a canon of unwrtten
law that all the higher grade ladies
should be thus adorned. He was hor-
rified to be an eyewitness of the opera
ton. the coils being put on young girl
of II, who lay shrieking and firmly
held to the ground while the rods were
bent and hammered on.
The neck coil has the effect of a gil
gantic spring. elongating the muscles
into q curious deformity. Each wen
born ringed lady has child following
her with a pannikin of water when in
hot sun TO sprinkle the coil. as the
brass gets intolerably hot and testers
the skin into horrible sores. This is
one of the most curious customs ever
heard of and in spite of the pain Is
willingly adhered to as showing high
rank In the wearer.
