Louisville. Ky.. Oct 1.-The first
news by telegraph out of the stricken
city OF Mobile was received in Louis
Vile at 3 o'clock (Sundayl by the
Courier Journal. whose correspondent
sent a dispatch in roundabout way
from an improvised Office in the
swamps just on the edge OF the city.
The information is given in the dis
patch that the loss of life in Mobile
and vicinity from the great storm of
Thursday will probably reach 12O. al
though the death list in the city itself
will not be large. The greatest num-
ber OF lives lost, according to the dis
patch. is at place known as San
Souci Beach, a summer resort near
Mobile, where 80 bodies are reported
to have been recovered.
The property loss in Mobile and
along Mobile bay will probably ap-
proximate $S,OO0,0OO.
The people living on Dauphin island
are suffering for food and they have
only the clothes they are wearing.
Nearly all the houses OF the fisher
men We're swept away. The dispatch
says further:
LAS the dead come ashore on the
south beach below here they are being
buried. The Louisville & Nashville
railroad will not be able to resume
train service for several days and the
other roads here are handicapped by
washouts and the loss of telegraph
wires, which prevents the handling of
trains with anysdegree of promptness.
Gulfport is damaged to small ex-
tent and there is no loss of life there
as far as has been heard OF here.
Many interior points yet remain to be
heard from"
At the general managers office of
the Louisville & Nashville road in
Louisville today it was stated that they
had telegraphic communication within
short distance of Mobile. but that
the tracks were still unfit for use. 1t
could not be stated definitely when
train service would be resumed. The
Western Union at noon Sunday was
working one wire from Atlanta into
Mobile by way of Montgomery and this
circuit was being utilized to order men
and equipment from every direction
to Mobile to repair the vast damage.

<fYOU MARRIED MY WIFE,
SAYS JENKINS TO ROWE

Atlanta, Ca, Oct III have just
learned that you have married my
wife, and while don't want her and
would not have her. you shan't have
her; your cue is to hull out"
Such was the startling and inelegant
announcement by which Claude E.
Rowe was advised that his dream of
love was DER. and that the wife of
his bosom was legally the wife of
the man who made this statement to
him, when he brough Mrs. Roke to At
lanta from Birmingham, Alabama,
where he married her on Du,ember
25. These allegations are set forth
in petition filed yesterday in the su-
perior court by Mr.. Rowe in which
he prays that his marriage be declared
null and void. the woman he married
having living and undivorced hus-
band at the time of her marriage to
the petitioner.

Press Cable to TIE Evening

-A..ociated Prexs Cable to TIE Evening
Times.
Havana, Oct. IA brigade of ma
rines consisting of $50 men. COM
manded by Major Wendell c. Neville,
was landed at 3 o'clock this morning
from the United States warships Ken
lucky, Indiana and Minneapolis, and
proceeded by trolley to Camp Colum-
bta. There was no demonstration of
any kind. The departure of Senior
Palma from Havana had been post
poned until tomorrow. All the ma
rines were landed within two hours
from the starting of the operation,
which was carried out with great
precision, owing to the fact that the
ten supplies and general equipment
were brought along in boats, with
each detachment, so that each boat
load of men had with them full equip
ment for long stay ashore. Several
field guns were also landed. All
landings were made at the new wharf
of the Havana Central Electric rail-
way. Thirty street cars and several
freight cars for supplies were run di-
rectly out upon the long pier and the
ship boats, laden with marines, were
towed to the shore in strings of three
and four by launches. AS the marines
with their equipment reached the
wharf they were passed into the street
cars, which at once started, two or
three at time, for Camp Columbia
The freight cars followed as fast as
they were loaded. All the cars passed
over the Havana Central tracks to
near the arsenal, where they were
switched to the city line, at Monse-
trate street, thence going through the
city and Vedado to Camp Columbia.
The sight of SO many carloads of
troops created considerable interes,
but there was not the least excite
ment.

Raleigh. n. c., Oct 1.-The action
of the Baptist pastor at Wilmington
announcing that the authorities of that
city, having failed to close disorderly
houses, band of 100 determined men
would march upon these places, wreck
them and drive out the inmates. and
that he himself would be one of the

A large delegation of men called

By F.. c. SNYDER,


Washington, d. c., Oct. With
the return of President Roosevelt to
Washington this afternoon the Nation
al capital will again be the real seat
of government, in fact as we'll as in
name. With President Rbcseveltis
retirement to Oyster Bay, Immediately
after the close of congress, Wash
ington took on dullness such as
has not characterized it in many years.
1t was a dreary deserted town. Heads
of departments, cabinet officers fol-
lowed the president to their summer
homes. Chiefs of bureaus went upon
their annual vacations, tn. politicians
, were out in the country looking after
their fences and only the people who
could not get away from Washington
either because of business or the lach
of the wherewithall to carry them
away were the only ones remaining
here. The newspaper men were COM
PEELED to stay and write what news
they could of politics and other SUBJ
jects in which the public show more
or less interest. All this, however,
will be changed when the president
comes back Cabinet meetings will
be resumed, politicians will be report
ing at the executive offices and once
more the air of Washington will be
surcharged with busy activity and
that is what the president does for
the nations capital.
The dollar" campaign fund in
augurated by both political parties
looking to the pOpulariZation of poll
tics it is conceded by the chiefs in
charge of the two national congress
sional committees has not been
bowling success. The people have ut
terly failed to recognize their great
opportunity to pay the expenses of
the campaign and as result the rival
committees have gone out on a still
hunt for money. At democratic head
quarters they admit that they have
some money but nothing like the
money they had in former campaigns.
Chairman Griggs. who is success
full begger of campaign shekles, frank
ly admits that the dollar" contribu-
tions are falling off and that his mail
is getting considerably lighter than
it was in the early beginning of the
campaign. OF course the real hard
campaign will not begin before Octo-
ber first, but from that time on day
and night the spellbinders of both
parties will be going up and down
the country urging the voters to get
out and do their duty, otherwise the
country will go to the "demnition-
bow vows"
Vice-Chairman Tawney, of the re-
publican congressional committee,
who is in town today. said that his
committee was feeling the general
apathy so far as campaign contribu-
tions went, and that unless there was
a decided increase in the amount of
the contributions a number of eX-
tremely close districts would he lost
to the republicans because of the in
ability of the committee to get the
vote out. Mr. Tawney. who is a
practical politician, frankly admits

Mary jenkins on the date stated by
reason of her false and fraudulent rep
reservations to the effect that she was
widow, when, in truth and in fact,
her husband, Jenkins. was living and
she had not obtained divorce from
him. From Birmingham Mr.. Rowe
brought his blushing bride to Atlanta,
and here it was that he was astounded
to learn from Jenkins, that while he
did not want Mrs. Rowe-that is Mrs.
Jenkns-himself, that Rowe's cue was
to hull out"
Rowe AYERS that from the moment
this starting information was impart-
ed to him he ceased to live with the
woman upon whom he thought he had
the sole claim, and now wishes the
court to declare the marriage contract
nullity.
In his petition Mr.. Rowe refers to
her whom he though his wife as
