UNLAWFUL ACTS.

This morning at O'Clock the house
in which Eva Wells was living was
burned to the ground. The building,
a small concern, belonged to George
Hammer, who lost house in the
same neighborhood some time ago by
fire. Two boys charged with the ar
son of the first house, and doubtless
as the fire this morning was the work
of an inacendiary the officers will
have to work up this case as they did
the other.
The Progress condemns this unlaw-
full act as it condemns all unlawful
acts and the perpetrators should. be
punished to the full extent of the law,
which is hanging. The burning of
these houses fall far short of the OBJ
ject for which the act is done, bseides
this leaves stain on the heretofore
good name of Hattiesburg that will be
hard to wipe out. The man who
would burn house over in Meridian
quarters might be induced, if he i'm
agined he had sufficient cause to burn
any other house in the city or the en-
tire city. The best people of the city
condemn the act and the best people
will do all in their power to bring
the perpetrators to justice. This burn
ing must be stopped, it matters not
whose house is burned, and this
thievery must be stopped, it matters
not whose goods are stolen, and the
officers should do their duty, as doubt
less they will, in ferreting out the
guilty parties. We have as law
abiding people as there is in the state
but lately there seems to have sprung
into existence an element that is de-
termined to injure the good name the
city has heretofore borne. Let every
citizen take hand in ferreting out
these criminals and bring them before
the law and see that they are justly
punished.

THE STRIKE is OFF
At Least 1t Looks That Way-No
One Seems to Know Much
About 1t.

1t seems from all the information
that can be learned that there was no
strike yesterday Of the carpenters or
if there was none Of them knew much
about it. When one was asked if the
strike was ON he remarked that it was,
that is if doing nothing was con-
sidered strike, for work at present
was very scarce. Many Of the contrac-
tors now are out of the city where
they have gone to take other con-
tracts. Many of the old carpenters,
some of whom are considered the finest
workmen in the city, refused to 60 out
even if ordered out by the union, so
they say, Notwithstanding this will
debar them from the union. They
say they cannot afford it, as work is
scarce, they owe small bills, and they
cannot pay their debts and support
their families except by accepting all
the work they can get or can do.
Besides this there are too many car
penters in the country to inaugurate
a strike unless all would agree to it,
and this they will not do.
While the uunion notified the con-
tractors that they would strike yester-
day unless their demands were con-
ceded to there has been no further
demonstration and it may be con-
cluded that the strike is off, There
is only one contract job of any impor-
tance in the city, that of the Gulf and
Ship Island hospital, and SO far as the
Prosgress can learn the strike, should
it yet be inaugurated, will not ma
terially interfere with the wrok on
that building.

in the storm and carried over the trees
and houses for long distances.
The Bell telephone and Western
Union lost all wries, but the Bell
people got a wire working shortly
afterward and then the Western
Union put wire into service.
Both these wires were turned ever to
the city to be used to call for ply
sicians. Every town that can be
reached has been urged to rush sur
geons to Gainesville.
A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE.
1t is believed the death list of 100
is conservative estimate. Such
wounded as have been rescued are be-
ing cared for and everybody who is
un'njured is at work relieving the
suffering.
The property loss cannot be esti-
mated at this hour.
THE HORROR GROWS.
At 2 O'Clock the Western Union
wire in the Atlanta Journal office had
cut through to Duluth, this side of
Gainesville, and later reached
Gainesville. The operator reports
the above details exaggerated. He
says evrey town is being urged to send
doctors. He says estimates now place
the dead and wounded at 200 at the
cotton mills alone.
To this number must be added the
eighteen or twenty killed in Gaines
vile proper. and the scores of
wounded.
Special trains will run to Gaines
vile to carry surgeons and medical
supplies.

Atlanta, Ca, June IA long dis
tance telephone from Gainesville,
Ga, says:
Shortly after the noon hour today
this city was struck by terrific tor
nado, killing probably one hundred
persons; unroofng the city hotels,
large buildings and destroying the
Gainesville cotton mills.
The death list will not be known
until the debris is cleared away.
The greatest loss of life is reported
in the destruction of the cotton mills,
where about eighty are believed to be
killed and score injured.
Eighteen persons were killed in
the city between the center of the
town and the railroad station, where
four large stores were blown down.
The storm had driven many people
into these stores for refuge, aud they
were probably all killed.
There were 500 at work in the cot
ton mills when the storm came. The
mill was a three-sto building.
The roof of the city electric car
barn was blown off.
DAY TURNED INTO NIGHT.
The tornado struck the town in the
southern portion. 1t came with a
frightful roar and the day was turned
into night. AS people fled from the
storm they were caught in the wind
and bodily blown in all directions.

ments; Others were lifted from their
foundations and carried intact for
blocks; roofs sailed like leaves in the
