Violent Storm of Wind and Rain
Visits the East.
" aterAnkle Deep in Broadway,
New York.
WIND BLEW so MILES.
Much Damage to Plate Glass
and Other Property.
Rained III Hours in PhiIadel-
phia Without Cessation.

New York, Sept. 15.-A storm of wind
and rain of almost unprecedented
violence which ragged over New York
and vicinity last night and today caused
much damage to property botn on sea
and shore. So far as known no loss
of life resulted. Two fishing schooners
are ashore at Coney Island point and
many small craft are lying on the beach
and along the shore.
In this city and in the suburbs hun
dreds of windows were broken and the
torrent of rain filled cellers and turned
streets into rivers. When the theater
crowds surged out into Broadway the
water was ankle deep. At midnight
the conditions were even worse. From
that time on the storm steadily IN
creased in violence. At four O'Clock the
wind was blowing at eighty miles an
hour and the rain was coming down in
sheets. It was then that trolley cars
came tora standstill.- Elevated trains
stopped and traffic of all kinds was
paralyZed. Along the streets through
the market section of the city wagons
were overturned and horses hurled
from their feet.
Many plate glass windows succumb-
ed to the wind, especially in the down
town section of the city. Soon after
daybreak the rain ceased and the clouds
cleared away. There was decided fall
in the temperature.
Eight Were Drowned.

LONG OPENS 1T.
Kansas Senator Starts Campaign for
Colorado Republicans.

Denver, Sept. 15.-The Republican
campaign in Colorado was opened with
a speech in the Coliseum by Senator
Chester I. Long of Kansas. Senator
Long said in the course of his address:
This campaign is being conducted
on Judge Parkers telegram amend
ing and making plain the platform
adopted by the convention. Those
Democrats who censured Judge Par
ker for not speaking out before his
nomination have no cause to find fault
with him since his nomination. There
are some, possibly, who wish he had
remained as silent since he was nomi-
mated as he did before. We accept
his amendment to the platform as
meaning that both the Republican and
Democratic parties favor the same
standard of values. This peculiar sit
uation, in the light of what has hap
pened in the past, is aptly described
by Thomas E. Watson, the Populist
candidate for president, who says:
" For eight years the Democratic
party went through this land from
coast to coast from Maine to Cali
fornia, from Michigan to Florida, pro-
claiming all the calamitieS, all the ter
people of this land against the Re-
publican party on account of the es-
tablishment of the gold standard.
Where are they tOday2 They met in
national convention at st. Louis. They
sent their prayers heavenward by meg
aphone, and they got their platform
by telegraph.
There is no paramount question I'm this
campaign. The opposition does not sat-
tempt to challenge the attention of tho
people to the unWisdom of any Republi-
can position any important question.
Its sole purpose is to attack our nominee
for president, and frighten the American
people into the belief that President
Roosevelt is erratfc, unsafe and a dan
gerous man in the executive office. We
insist that President Roosevelt should not
be the paramount issue of the campaign.
We insist that the record of the Republi-
can party as it has been written in legis-
lation during the past seven years is the
proper subject for consideration. The par
ty which has been in control of the pres
idency and congress has done many
things and passed many laws. We in
sist, if Fxe have done things that should
not have been done, now is the time 70
call the attention of the American people
to the fact.
But, the opposition is not doing this.
1t indulges in some legislative criticisms
and then launches its invectives, not
against the record of the Republican par
ty, but against President Roosevelt. He
has only partial responsibility for the
things that have been done since he has
been president. He has approved bills.
or vetoed them, but congress alone legfs-
lated. We insist that the record of the
Republican party during the past seven
years has been such that ii is entitled to
a further lease of power; that ii is en-
titled to the further confidence of the pep
pie because of its actions as a party or
ganization, and because it has faithfully
discharged the duties intrusted to It by
the American people"

1.-The prices are so cents for adults and
25 cents for chfIdreI% The advance

mate that the gate sale represents
about 10000 people, that the advance

Besides this the exhibitors tickets are
to be reckoned and the passes held b
stockholders, etc. On this reckoning
we think the number of people on the

day, which was really the first day

count of rain, is by far the largest day

Vanity S. won from Jim Underwood

do the same on Jim Underwood's
home track. Campbell Immediately
covered the wager with $500. The
