Killed BY A Cyclone.

SYRACUSE, SICILY, Sep. pa severe
cyclone has swept over Catania, city on
the east coast of Sicily Catania is flooded
and many houses, including the Villa
Bellini, have been damaged. The rail-
roads have suffered seriously. The cyclone
also wrought havoc at Modica, town of
Sicily, where several persons were killed.
Mount Etna shows further signs of ac-
tivity and the volcano of Stromboli IS still
active.
A later dispatch says that the stream
flowing throug ii Modica, swollen by the
recent terrific storm, suddenly overfowed,
inundated the town and that several houses
collapsed and number of families persisted.
The country in the vicinity of Modica
is flooded and the project, with force of
troops, has started for that place in order
to render assistance to the sufferers
For twenty -four hours before the cyclone
burst over the island violent storm ragged
on the eastern coast of Sicily. The path
of the cyclone was "a miles long, and every
thing in the line of the storm was destroyed.
Inc sea swept iuldiiu lOi oCsOioi AAiiASo Nv
ing enormous damage, while there were
violent submarine agitations between Sicily
and the mainland. Along the railroad
from Catania to Palermo the force OF the
cyclone was such that rails were torn up
and hurled to great distance.
1t is reported from Modica, thirty-two
miles west-southwest from Syracuse that
100 bodies have already been found, but
that the number of dead bodies swept away
by the torrent is unknown.
The newspaper Fracassa expresses the
belief that some 400 persons have been
killed
The torrent destroyed everything on the
ground floors in houses in the lower portions
of Modica. Bridges and roads have dis
appeared, and damage amounting to many
million lire has been done. CA Ira is worth
about 20 cents). The disaster is supposed
to have been due to marine waterspout.
The German steamer Caprera was wrecked
at Catania after terrible struggle with the
waves.

The Philadelnhia lPa. } Record saws

The Philadelphia Pa. Record says
A former Philadelphian, who is now in
business in Chicago, and who has been
spending portion of his vacation with old
friends here, wrote letter the other day
to chum in the Windy City that surely
breaks the record for lengthy letterwriting.
He had promised to write "a good long
letter, SO he procursd coil of thin white
tape paper, such as is used by the telegraph
companies on their ticking machines, and
proceeded to work, writing single line
lengthwise on the tape from the beginning
clear through to the little wooden center
The letter was in the neighborhood of $50
feet long. AS he wrote he unrolled and
allowed the finished part to fall upon the
floor 1t was not long before there was
enough on the floor to stuff sofa pillow
Or completely fill an ordinary waste basket
1t required forty five minutes to roll it up
again, and the epistle was then tied up
with light blue ribbon and mailed to its
destination in neat little box.

ATTACK ON FORAKER.
Johnson Assails Effort TO Sc
cure Curative Clause For
a Cincinnati Company.
SPOKE BEFORE OHIO HOUSE.
Declared Ohio Statutes Vicious as to
Franchises and Nash Code More So.
Warm Discussion In Senate Over
an Amendment to the Nash Code.

Columbus, Sept. l1.-Mayor Tom l..
Johnson, of Cleveland, appeared be-
fore the Ohio house of representatives
Yesterday to discuss the subject OF
| franchises.
In his speech he declared that 1t is
not right to permit municipality u
grant valuable rights until the people
shall first ratify the action OF city
councils. He declared that the Ohio
statutes are vicious on the subject OF
franchises and thu the terms OF the
Nash code are more so. He declared
in favor of home rule wherever posi-
BILE and expressed the belief that the
effort of Senator Foraker to secure
curative clause" for tie benefit OF
the Cincinnati Traction company is
more vicious than either the present
laws or the Nash code.
Warm Discussion In Senatt.
There was a warm discussion In
the senate along political lines over
an amendment to the Nash code, for
the repeal of bill giving councils
authority to require steam railroads
to furnish arc lights for certain pur-
poses and throwing the entire ex-
penses of keeping them up on the
municipalities. There were many
protests against the passage of this
bill. At the beginning Of the special
session Senator Thompson introduced
a bill for it's repeal Objection was
made to this introduction on the
ground that this matter could be
taken care Of in the code and that
separate legislation was unnecessary
Yesterday, when this paragraph was
| reached in the code, Mr.. Thompson
offered an amendment. The Repub-
lican leaders objected to this, and,
shifting, he said this matter should
| be taken care Of in separate bill.
Senator Decker made a sensational
speech, charging that the passage OF
the bill was cauSed by professional
railroad Hobbies.
A motion to refer the section with
the pending amendment to a special
committee was made.
| Johnson Also Addressed Senate.
At the afternoon session Of the SEN
[ ate Mayor Johnson, Of Cleveland, re-
| peated his speech on franchises, made
cefore the house committee in the
morning. The senate spent the re-

1t appears to be pretty generally
agreed among the members of both
branches that the franchise question
will be passed, the existing laws be-

BUYING 4 LARGE ESTATE

Ssveral Capitalists Are Now Engaged In
That Occupation.
The starting of new great country
estate Is always q matter of interest
says Harper's Weekly. The tendency
in rich city men toward that sort Of en-
sargement is of recent growth. and it
is natural that there should be ex-
amples OF it in increasing numbers
aear New York. E. H. Hartman, rail-
way giant-the same enterprising man
who carried ship load of scientists to
Alaska in 1899-has bought himself
10000 acres of land in Orange and
Rockland counties, New York, to the
west and north of Tuxedo and edging
over toward Goshen. Orange county is
still famous for Its butter and Mr..
Hartman doubtless intends to keep q
as yet TRANSFERRED except as shown by
considerable investments in roads.
Much of the fun in owning a farm two
miles square lies doubtless in planning
what to do with 1t. Mr.. Carnegie, whose
commodious dwelling on upper Fifth
avenue is already the biggest house in
town, is building himself another in
Westminster county near the st. An
drew's golf links, but has not yet given
evidence of an acute attack of land
hunger. Mr. Whitney has 1000 acres
on Long Island, nearly twice as many
CD October mountain and big tract
in tie North woods. and there are
many other estates of from 500 to 5000
acres on Long island ana near The
Hudson. DR.. Webb has elbow room at
Snelbourne and leg room in the Adj
ronoacks. but the greatest and most in.
teresting OF American estates seems
still to be mr.. Vanderbilt's Biltmore In
