THREE THOUSAND ARE
HOMELESS AT PENSACOLA

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 29.-Already
the list of dead from Thursdays
storm has grown to twenty-six and it
is known that many more have been
lost others injured. while more than
5000 persons are homeless. For two
days rescuing parties have been work.
ing to bring conditions to some de.
gree of order, but their efforts have
not shown to any extent and there are
many bodies yet underneath masses Of
wreckage.
For ten miles east and west of the
city are strewn the wrecks of homes
and vessels of all classes. Commene-
ing at Fort McRee, on a point over
looking the gulf and continuing to Es-
Gambia bridge, east of the city. there
is nothing but devastation, ruin and
desolation. At Fort McRee five lives
were lost. The twenty men there had
terrible experience. They sought the
batteries, the very highest point, rs
the waves began to dash over theT
and lashed themselves to the guns
There they clung for more than
twelve hours. Only one lady and her
little child We're at the post. She was
the wife of Sergeant Prentice, and al
though the big strong soldier fought
to save the lives of his young wife and
baby, they were almost wrenchad
from his arms. Three artilleryman
were lost by being washed from the
batteries. The fort was almost RACED.
Across on the Santa Rosa island, al
so on the gulf is Fort Pickens, where
more than 1900 men were stationed,
There was no loss OF life but great
destruction of property. The mortar
batteries were driven IN and the guns
were wrecked. The barracks were
demolished
Fort Barrancas has been badly dam
aged.
The navy yard suffered probably to
the extent of $1,000,00Q. Many of the
new buildings have been damaged -

dock crashed against q stone one, the
latter being damaged, and the gum
boats Vixen, Isle De Luzon, Glnucek-
ter, Machias and WASP, as well as the

Birmingham, Ala. Sept 29.-Ad-
vices from Mobile today Indicate that
the earlier stories of the great storm
and the havoc wrought were not exag-
gerated The complete death list has
not been made up because of tive
many smaller towns along the coast
have not been heard from, but the
known dead, 1t is believed, will range
| close to one hundred.
Trainmaster Bowen, of the Bay
Shore railroad, who has reached Mo
bile from a trip along that line, said
that the missing persons did not turn
up, the number of deaths along the
Bay Shore railroad alone would reach
fifty. He said that fifteen bodies had
been recovered.
Thomas Mcdonald Who came IN
from Coden said that that place was
I III the direct path of the storm ana
was almost completely destroyed. tie
said that help was needed by the peo-
pie along the shore and a special train
with provisions was started from Mo-
bile yesterday afternoon.
The worst suffering and desolation
is said to be at the Alabama port,
where many persons have lost MI
their possessions
Pilot Frank Mrgett, who has come
in from Navy Cove. says that every
house in that place was wrecked Sew
en- persons are known 60 be dead
there. Advices from along the eastern
shore of Mobile bay are that the ca
tire shore has been wrecked The
wharves at FairhOpe, Battle Point,
Cloar NARROW and other places wc.e
destroyed.
Conductor David Rice, of the Mo-
bile and Bay Shore railroad reports
that large number of dead bodies
had fOated to shore from the direc-
tion of Dauphine Island, which leads
to the belief that the settlement on
that island has been swept away.
One boat rom Dauphine Island con-
tanning thirteen members of family
is reported lost.
Reports from along the line of the
Louisville and Nashville road show
great destruction At Bayou Sasa-
bridge, the driftwood was piled 50
high that it formed a walkway 1,001
feet long. AT Magazine Point Il cat
boat two fishing boats and two 9TH
er crafts were niled up in one wreck
and three masted schooner was
resting across the railroad tracks.

LARGEST FIRM IN AMERICA.
chicagoan Raises $4,000 Bushels of Corr An.
nualy on the Place.

The largest farm in Iowa, ind no
doubt the largest farm in the world
where corn is grown almost exclusively
is the big Adams place of $4,000 acres,
near Odebolt. The 105 men who have
been employed steadily on this farm
for the last year have just finished
husking the greatest corntield in the
United States. 1t is estimated that
more than 800. 900 bushels of corn were
raised there this year. The crop is all
cut and husked from the shock. The
stocks will be shredded for the fat cat
tie before Spring. Thirty even double
stalk cutters were used to bind the
corn in the field this Fall. Mules were
employed almost everywhere to do the
heavy draft work on the farm and there
are over 200 of these faithful animal
kept there constantly. Mr.. and Mrs.
Adams aud family are at present at
their winter home in Chicago and tue
| farm is in the hands of a manager.
| With the exception of large number
of feeders, which are purchased every
Fall no cattle are raised on the big
farm except enough milk COWS to keep
the help supplied with milk. Last
winter Mr.. Adams had 5000 sheep
brought from his North Dakota ranch
for feeding, and it is announced that
he will do it again this winter as soon
as the present yard full of cattle has
been marketed. The affairs at the farm
are conducted with as much system as
any large business Office in the city.
There is a main Office and headquarters
where the manager of the farm has his
desk. 1t is here that Mr.. Adams him
self, spends large part of his time in
summer. The farm is divided into
sections and each part is under the di
, rection of subforeman and worked
by his force of men. All the houses o.
+ the employees are located in one plac,
] near the center of the farm, making
e small town. A school house is als'
: erected here for the children of tn,
It workers. The farm and its method
are revelation to the visitor. Adam
is an enthusiast for good roads aud al
through the place he has built hand
some driveways. There is anothe
farm III Sac County, La, which con
tains 5000 acres. The land there
not all titled as on the Adams ranc
and hence it is not of so general inter
est to the public. 1t is, though, anon
the record breakers in that State fC

TO MUSTER IN NEW MILITARY COMPANY.
WashingtOn's Birthday Selected For the Date
When New Company Will BE- Mustered 10.

Washington's Birthday has been in
formally selected as the date for mus
tering in the select new military COM
pany which is to guard the State capt.
tai, aid the authorities of Kent County
in preserving peace and form part of
the First Regiment of Infantry, Ma
tional Guard of Delaware. Adjutant
General /. Pusey Wickershsm, of
Wilmington, commanding the National
Guard of the State, has written a let
ter to Lieutenant Colonel Frank w.
Spear stating that steps would be i'm
mediately taken toward laying the mat
ter before the governor, and if APP
proved by the executive, an order
would be issued for the mastering in
OF the new company on February %.
Company d, First Regiment, will be
probably given as the title for the new
company. The old Dover military
company which formed a part of tn,
National Guard in several of the big
Philadelphia parades of the SOS wa
known as Company ID, and it is ais,
preferred because of its being the mi
tial letter lof the State capital. TIL
new company has now enough picke'
men, all of whom have been selects
for general fine address, department
sobriety and military bearing or know
edge. Lieutenant Colonel Spear, VIII
has been prominent in the Nations
Guard of Wisconsin, and wears Sc,
eral military decorations, but he wi
probably take no further active part i
this branch of the State service, as /
has purchased fine farm near Kent,
and will move to it and engage in a,
tive agricultural pursuits next mont
leaving his temporary residence

Letter TO Hall & mesesr.
Smyrna, Del.

Dear Sirs: Would you rather have
your customers speak of your shoes as
wearing we'll, as not running down at
the heel, as turning water, and taking
a shine; or wag their heads and say
nothing?
We'd rather have ours at long inter-
walls, say: "We want some more paint
and we want Devoe" We know it
isn't in human nature to paint very Of
ten; we don't expect them to come
very often and don't want them to. All
We want is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they paint it; the
longer the time, the surer they are to
come back. There's business enough
in the world; there are houses enough
to paint; let them take their time.
If we we're a shoe maker we'd make
shoes to last half lifetime, and sho.
the whole town. Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE & Co.

WILMINGTON BROKERS MAKE
ASSIGNMENT FOR CREDITORS
ILL.,. EVANS & co. WELL KNOWN FIRM
FAILS FOR THE AMOUNT OF 100000.
Assets of Only $500, 600 to meet the Claims
Customers Unsecured Accounts Com
prise the Heaviest Liabilities.

prise tuG nCdffCet
The worst financial failure that has
ever occurred in Delaware was an
nounced Thursday afternoon when the
firm of H. L. Evans & Co., bankers and
brokers, in Wilmington made an
assignment. The liabilities exceed
$500, 900, while the assets are said to
approximate about 100000. Unfor-
tunate investments and speculation on
the part of a member of the firm are
given as the causes. The failure has
been expected for some days, and 1T is
announced is in no wise attributable
to the present state of the stock mar
ket. The firm which was one OF the
leading brokerage houses in Whining
ton, comprises Henry l.. Euans and
his brother, John Fl. Evans. Both
members of the firm are former Smyrna
boys. The failure was not made known
until the close of the stock market,
when it was announced that II. l..
Evans and his wife and John H. Evans
had assigned all of their real and per-
sonal holdings to John H. Dandy, the
assignee. Mr.. Dandy is vice presl'
dent of the Union National Bank Of
Wilmington. The value of the assigned
properto is placed at 100000.
Practically all of the financial insti'
tutions in Wilmington hold the firms
paper to the total amount of 500, 900
but all of these loans are amply secured
by good collateral. The largest liabil
tiles are the accounts of customers
they ranging from 800 to $25, 900 each
It is estimated that one-half of tn
firms indebtedness is due customers
The firm was formed ten years ago un
der the name of Evans & Craig, an
three years ago when Mr.. Craig with
drew, the name was changed to Evan
Co. 1t isl member of the Philadel
phia Stock Exchange. H. j.. Evans
president of the New Castle and South
ern Electric Railway. James W. Por
der, attorney for the firm, said to
night: Sowing to the difficulty in fs
uring out the books and accounts {
Evans & Co., it will take two or thre
days before we know just what the 81
uation is. The chances are that tt
liabilities will exceed the assets by
large amount. The firm has lost heavil
through the failure of customers
make good their accounts, and 1 fe
there has been some speculation on Il
part of the firm.
