ANOTHER DELUGE.
II Causes Ruin and Misery at Mobile,
Ala.

Mobile, Ala. = Haunted by the
recollection of the great storm
which has just passed. sustaining fur
ther injury and increased financial
loss from heavy rainfall Monday and
fearful of what to-day may bring, the
residents of Mobile had most uncom-
Portable day and retired for the night
filled with foreboding.
Many residents of the place were at
times III state of semi-panic over
dispatches from Washington which di-
rected that storm warnings be display
ed along the Florida coast. There was
slight grain of comfort in the earlier
messages, as they did not mention
Mobile among the places likely to be
visited by the storm now coming up
through the Gulf of Mexico.
The business houses of the city on
Monday sustained almost as much
financial loss from a heavy rain
storm, which set in shortly after mid
night and lasted about IL hours, as
from the recent disaster
There Is scarcely a building in the
business section of the city which has
a roof capable of keeping out the
rain. Many Of them have no roofs at
all, and during the storm Monday, in
which four inches of rain fell, the
water poured down through elevator
shafts, leaking roofs and upon unpro-
tected floors, running all manner of
merchandise. At 10 a. m. one of the
leading merchants of the city declared
that unless the rain soon stopped he
would be ruined and compelled to go
out of business. Others were in con-
dition almost as desperate.
During the day frantic efforts were
made to protect goods as fully as pos
sible from the heavy storm which is
now believed to be a certain arrival
within the next SO hours.
During the rain yesterday the water
poured into the federal building
through the elevator in such volume
that large pools were formed on every
floor. At his Office in the city hall
Mayor Lyons sat at his desk with his
feet drawn up under his chair to keep
them out of the water.
The roof of the city hospital, which
was badly damaged Wednesday night
and which had been temporarily re-
paired, was leaking badly and Mayor
Lyons sent an emergency corps to
make it fit place for the sick.
At meeting of the citizens relief
committee it was agreed that while
Mobile is entirely able to care for the
suffering within her own city limits,
contributions from the neighboring
sections of the country will be accept
ed for the aid of the sufferers in the
towns on the southern part of the bay.
The Louisville & Nashville railroad
last night brought trains into the city
from the north for the first time since
the storm.

LIVED THREE DAYS ON A RAFT,
The Story of Shipwreeked Sailors
Thrilling Adventure.

Washington, d. C.-Capt. Fiske,
Of the cruiser Minneapolis, has report
ed the details of the rescue of James
Olson, of the schooner Twilight, which
was wrecked in gale off the Carolina
coast. Olson in his statement to Capt.
Fiske said that he with seven others
were thrown off the schooner in tre-
mendously heavy sea and encountered
great danger from the lumber thrown
into the sea, which was the cargo of
the steamer. He secured two planks
and with an arm thrown over each
fioated for day in very heavy sea-.
When the storm abated somewhat
he tied the planks together, one across
the other, using strips of his oilskin
coat for the purpose. He was able to
sit upon this improvised raft and pad.
die himself along with piece of wood
which he had clung to from the time
the schooner was wrecked. He had
been 72 hours without food or drink
at the time of his rescue, but was still
able to paddle the raft and when he
saw the lights of the Minneapolis he
padded 1t so close to her course that
he was very near run down. The res
cue took place at midnight.

Pomeroy, O.-The Middleport bank,

arrest ordered. He is expected to be
apprehended and brought back at
once.
President Fox went away last Tues
day, leaving Vice Preside ent T. S.
Armentrout in charge. An examina.
tion of the vaults after Fox had gone
revealed $4,000 in cash and paper
worth less than $4,000 on it's face to
account for the $4,000 deposited.
Armentrout was formerly Presby.
terian minister at Gallipolis and on
the solicitation of Fox resigned the
ministry the 1st of June, converted his
property into $4,000, and entered the
bank as an equal partner with Fox,
perfectly unaware of its financial con-
dition. He has lost his $4,000 and is
now almost physical wreck over wor-
rying about the outcome of his new
enterprise.
The people of Middleport became
thoroughly aroused late in the after
noon over the collapse of the bank.
For time 1t looked like there might
be bloodshed. William Hord en-, an
old merchant, became so angered
over the loss of a heavy deposit that
he secured revolver and sought Vice
President Thomas r. Armentrout at

avowed purpose of shooting the bank.

fight Like Flends in Japan, and No
Hold Is Barred.

The wrestlers arranged themselves
in two sides, each led by captain.
They sat cross-legged around the plat
form in the dirt, all but the two
chosen to begin, who advanced into
the center with the umpire. they
squatted upon their feet and bowed to
each other slowly and solemnly. Pc.
likeness thus being fulfilled, they stood
up again and bent over opposite one
another like two gamecocks, watching
intently for chance to seize an ad-
vantage. During the preliminaries
the audience was tense with expecta-

Stimulating ferocity to spur themselves
up to greater excitement, but, after a
few clutches, in deadly feminine earn
est, the umpire meanwhile buzzing to
them as they swayed round the mar
row ring.
Any and all holds seemed fair means
to the end of pushing combatant
over the edge. Sometimes with
clean throw one woman landed her op-
ponent sprawling in the midst of her
friends. This was the signal for the
umpire to begin: 'Hitotsu, futatsu,
mitsu, yotsu, itsutsu lone, two, three,
four, five)," in series of irregular
and disconnected squeaks; and before
he ceased counting another wrestler
from the losing side jumped up to
meet the champion who stood painting,
kissing and splitting like boiling ket.
tie in the center of the arena. This
time there were no perliminaries. A
wild rush, and like two furies or two
beasts the women were struggling
again. Some affected quick clutches,
some locked their adversaries in their
arms and stood stock still for full
five minutes Some picked up their
opponents at once and threw them
bodily over the ring, while others
rolled over with them. This latter
course threatened to cause almost
disaster on several occasions. The
poor weak umpire Che seemed almost
midget beside them) attempted to
assert his prerogatives, to declare the
result, as was his custom after every
bout, in a high sing-song voice, and
with raising of his fan to his FORE
head, an excellent gesture of finality
But If his decision displeased the COM
batants they would have none of it.
The captain of each side sprang up
into the ring, followed by several of
her dissatisfied companions. They
clutched at his garments; they pum-
meled him roughly; soon partisans in
the audience joined the lively discus
sion. Usually the umpire's discretion
got the better of his conscience, and
he obligingly announced what the ma
jority wanted. Then only was he left
in peace; the irate ladies returned
gurgling to their places, and the
wrestling recommended. The act was
completed with the vanquishing of one
side, after which, bowling low, the per.
formers trooped out to rest.-Mac.
