ly to their waists.
The water has cut away about 80 feet
of the beach to depth of about seven
feet, and many think the entire row of
houses fronting OH Atlantic avenue will
have to be moved back Some say that
the action of the wind will force back
the beach to almost it's former position
eventually. but this is considered ex-
tremely doubtful.
STORY OF AN EYEWITNESS.
Mr.. Charles w. Sees, a brother-in-Iaw
and partner of Mr.. Kelley. was the only
Baltimorean at Ocean City Friday. He
gave an interesting account of the
storms destruction as follows:
II came down here Wednesday night
for the purpose of having some repairs
made to the hotel AS it rained all day
Thursday. stayed over that night and
Friday. When got up Saturday morn
ing saw the sea was running high, ,and
I went over to the hotel to look around.
Everything appeared safe then and I
went back to my boarding house and
had breakfast.
J "After breakfast I returned to the ho-
tel and there was change in the aspect
of affairs. The action of the water had
lifted up the floor Of the parlor until the
piano was stuck up against the ceiling,
the walls were quivering, and I con-
cluded not to stay to investigate any
further. got out and stood some dis
tance away. watching the building,
when saw the porch suddenly lifted up
and slapped against the house, as if a
large door had suddenly been banged
shut. Almost instantly part of the
building fell in, and the wind continued
to slam the pieces of the porch against
the side, tearing it away in sections.
81 think our loss will be about 81, 900,
and there was no insurance. 1 do not
know what we will do about rebuilding
until get home, and we consult about

rebuild on a more modern plan.
ut was wonderful sight Saturday
to see the people fleeing from the island
A load of women and children would be
placed OH a flat car or hand car and the
men would push them across the long
trestle, the waves tossing the spray over
them at times so as to hide them from
sight"
The Atlantic Hotel is not damaged
except from the washing of the sand
from under the front. The new break
water recently er>'cted by the proprietor
is thought to have been the means of
saving it.
The Eastern Shore Hotel had all the
piles washed away from the front, ex-
cept one directly in the centre of the
front porch which held the whole
weight of the building.
The Plimhimmon Hotel has it's front
porch d rasged and some of the piles

ment has continued uninterruptedly, for

ton of reconciliation.

the view Of reporting upon the establish.

isolated situation of Chincoteague was
sufficiently manifested in the hurricane

of the present moment should inspire
the Government to lose no time i'm
establishing the proposed wireless

Chincoteague for its 5000 inhabitants.

Preliminary Examination in Postal
Scandal Cases Begins Today.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE prelimin-
ary examination Of George w. Beavers
was commenced today before United
States Commissioner Hitchcock. The
defendant looked worried, though at
tempting to appear at ease. The exam
ination did not create any great excite
ment and the attendance was confined
principally to newspaper men and
few spectators.
Washington, Sept. 15.--According to
the decision of acting Attorney General
Hoyt, declaring subpoena served on
the postmaster general yesterday to
appear at the hearing in New York to-
day of the case of George w. Beavers
was void, the postmaster general des-
ignated Postoffice Inspector Lethernan
as hiss representative at that hearing.
Mr.. Payne said today it is physical
impossibility to comply with the sub
poena.
After considerable discussion of the
validity of the warrant issued under
the indictment, the examination was
adjourned till September 16. Upon re-
quest Of counsel the arraignment Of
Mcclellan and Huntington was ad
iourned until September 2S.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 16.-Three of
the five men VINO were arrested on sus-
p1cion of having been implicated in the
sensational robbery of the Minnehaha
County bank at Valley Springs early
last Saturday morning have been re-
leased from custody, nothing having
developed that could connect them
with the robbery.
The two men who are yet In custody
are the ones that were seen at Bran
don, between this city and Valley
Springs, last Thursday and Friday, and
who took train fer the latter place
late last Friday night.
One Of them gives his name as w. u.
Hunter, and claims he is from Missouri.
He is tall and dark, smooth faced and
has scar on the left cheek. The other
states that his name is Ted O'Br1en,
although his companion says his first
name Is George
O'Brien is of sandy complexion. He
is heavy set, and, like his brother pris-
oner, is smooth faced. Both were cap

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Gathering at Ogden Will Be a Notable
One of Western Interests.

Ogden, Utah, Sept. 17.-Twenty-siX
states and territories Of the union are
represented at the eleventh national ir-
rigation congress which began four
days session in the Ogden tabernacle
yesterday, this being the largest num-
Der ever represented since the begin
ming of the movement on the reclama-
ton of the arid west, showing how the
union has taken on national instead
of a sectional scope.
Several delegates were present even
from New York, Pennsylvania and Yer
mont, while from the states of the
western plains and mountains repre-
sentatives of state and municipal gov
ernments and commercial organiZa-
tions of all kinds came by hundreds.
An international aspect was lent to the
proceedings by the presence of two
representatives from foreign govern
ments-Mexico and France-while the
government at Washington was repre-
sented by Secretary of Agriculture Will
son.
At both morning and afternoon ses-
sions the building was packed with
delegates, and the keynote Of the pres
ent congress, as expressed both by Gov
ernor Wells of Utah, in the speech of
welcome, and President w. A. Clark in
his response, that the time has come
to do things" was heartily cheered.
Important results ar expected from the
present congress, and the first resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Burton OF
Kansas, favoring the conserving Of the
flood waters OF the rivers as a part OF
the scheme of irrigation, was received
with so much favor that there seems
to be no doubt that such action will be
Overwhelmingly favored.
The first session Of the congress was
called to order by, President w. A.
Clark. John H. Winder, one of the
counselors of President Joseph II,
Smith Of the Mormon church, delivered
a brief invocation, at the conclusion Of
which Mayor William Glassman of Og-
den was introduced and delivered an
address of welcome on behalf of Utah.
| A trained chorus of 200 voices then
sang the national irrigation ode, writ

| rado Springs. Fifteen hundred dele
gates and spectators joined in the
chorus to the tune Of America and
| the effect was tremendous.
| United States Senator Burton of Kan
sas was introduced and delivered the
first formal address of the congress,
subject, Irrigation and Conservation
of Water for the Prevention OF

BRIBERY is CHARGED.
More Accusations Against Presiden.
Droppers Turn Up.


Droppers Turn Up.
Vermillion, S. D., Sept. 16.-The re-
port is given credence that the board
of regents will meet in special session
mere again this week to investigate
more charges against President Gar
rett Droppers, of the state university.
This time the regents have a charge
Of bribery to deal with, a sworn affi-
davit having been made to them re-
Gently by David II. Boot, class of '01,
that the president attempted to brihe
him into giving testimony against
Prof o. E. Hagen, shortly before the
latter was dismissed from the faculty.
Boots remuneration for the service
was to be degree at the end Of 1901,
without remaining at the institution in
study.
The opponents of President Droppers
have not been idle since the first in
vestigation proved fruitless, and: for
some time past have contended that
they would have a sensational charge
to prefer in short time.
The Investigation will not be a one
sided affair by any means.
