GOOD PROOF OF HIS SKILL.
Floor Polisher Surely Left Nothing to
Be Desired.

Frank Miles Day, the well-known
architect and essayist of Philadelphia,
stepped carefully from Persian rug
of dull green and old rose to another
rug Of rich blue, for the polished floor
between was dark and smooth and
slippery like Ice.
Rather a good polish there,
think" said Mr.. Days host.
Remarkably good, indeed" said
Mr.. Day.
The host just then slipped and
nearly fell, and the architect, with a
laugh, went on
"A friend of mine has beautiful
floors, and the other day sent for q
floor polisher
Il want these floors polished he
said to the man, as he led him about
the house. They are, you perceive,
fine ones. They ought to come out as
lustrous as rosewood. Do you think
you're capable Of doing them justice?
Give me some proof of your thorough
competence
That's easily done, SIR the polish

CEMETERY WASHED
 UP AT FORT MORGAN
One Three-sstory House Is Turned Upside Down and Others Are
 Sunk in Mud.

Mobile, October 1.--Details of the dam age to Fcrt Morgan were brought here today by w. E. Burrows, official of the New Orleans Progressive union who made a trip to the Fort in a launch. He said: .
 "A graveyard on the Fort Morgan beach made during the civil war, was unearthed by the storm Seventeen graves can be plainly discerned, the ground has been washed with the level of the coffins In some graves the perfect shape of the eof- fins renamed. A handful of mime balls was collected ip the places where the skeletons lay"
 All the houses at the Fort were gutted. One th-ee-story house was turned upside down, while others sunk deep in the sand. The batteries were damaged Most of the range finding stands were wrecked. and the old ordnance house. which was filled to the top. was wrecked Supplies of all kinds, including rifles and swords are missing Several of the cannon wheels were washed out upon the beach. Some sand hills on the reservation which form erly were about 12 feet high. had en- tirely disappeared

TERMINAL SUBWAY
 LOOKS LIKE CANAL
STEAM sHovELs AND LOCO MOTIVES SUBMERGED-IT WILL TAKE TEN DAYS TO PUMP OUT WATER,

More like a canal than a subway ap- pears the excavation on Fifth avenue where the new passenger station is being built All work is stopped. The steam shovels, locomotives. and dump cars are all submerged to a depth of five feet. In the cutting the water in places is over ten feet deep and the banks threaten to cave in at any moment.
 In an interview with Robert c. Work man, the foreman in charge of the eN cavation work, he said it would be at least ten days and probably two weeks before work could be resumed. ''rhe rains" said he, mean not only a loss of time. but a loss of fully $15,OOO to the contractors.
 "Every hour these engines are under water they are rusting. The roadbed must all be laid anew and the dirt will be so soft in the bottom that the weight of the steam shovels will cause the crossties to sink out of sight.
 q have steam pumps at work day and night but they are no match for the downpours of rain we have had in the last few days. That cutting Is 12OO feet long and 40 feet wide and the average depth of the water is about 10 feet, so you can calculate how many gallons l have to bale out
 MT. Workman Is not by any means dis couraged over the situation and he hopes to make up for all this delay by rush ing things later on.
 TAe passenger department of the new building is well up and presents a very fine architectural effect especially the large moulded stone work which faces toward Twenty-sixth street. Nothing can be done with the central section until the subway is finished. but that will not in- terfere with the plans of the terminal company to use the depot next January.

JAIL FORMS TIES NOT 2 SEVERED BY FREEDOM
Well to Do Prisoner Pays Comrade Out-Friendship Lasts Unto
 Second Arrest.

One of the strsngest friendships formed under strange circumstances is that of B. F. Roberts and John Flynn, two white men, at present in the city jail.
 It was while In jail that the men met, Roberts being an elderly and even court ly gentleman, who had imbibed too freely, and Flynn being a much younger man, and one who the police declare has fig ured several times in their official circle. Roberts, who is possessed of some wealth, according to popular belief, readily paid himself out when he had recovered his equilibrium, and having formed this friendship for Flynn, paid him out, too. Roberts, according to officers, promised to take Flynn to Chicago with him. and give him position.
 After paying the fine imposed upon Flynn, Roberts escorted him out of police headquarters, and was absent for some- time. Later, both Roberts and Flynn were arrested again on charges of being intoxicated, and now both are in the city Jail.
 Roberts is an influential citizen of Rob ertsdale, little city named in his honor, situated near Mobile. When the recent storm visited Mobile, he contributed sev- eral thousand dollars to the sufferers. He came to Birmingham on a hurried call and when the storm struck South Alabama, making travel in the direction of Mobile impossible, he was stranded here. He was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, and again figured in police circles when he had his watch stolen by a man alleged to have been J. l.. Hill.

TALKS OF DEBATE.
Crane Presents His Attitude Toward
 Debate With Senator Bailey.

Dallas, Tex, October 1.-Former At torney General M. M. Crane, who in stituted and prosecuted the suit which resulted in expelling the Waters Pierce Oil company from Texas in 1900, to- day gave out statement concerning the joint debates in which he is to engage with United States Senator Joseph w.

The full matreulation did not attend the first session, number of the students not yet having arrived from their re- spectlve homes, four states being repre- sented in the enrolment.

Marines Land on Island.

Havana October LA brigade of ma rines consisting of 7JO men, commanded by Major Wekell C. Neville, was landed at o'clock this morning from che snited States warships Kentucky, Indiana and Minneapolis and proceeded by trolley to Camp Columbia. There was no demon stration of any kind.
 The departure of Senor Palma from Ha- vana has been postponed until tomorrow.
 All the marines were landed within two hours from the starting of the operation, which was carried out by great precision owing to the fact that tent supplies and general equipment were brought along in the boats with each detachment, SD that each boat load of men had with them full equipment for a long stay ashore. Several field guns were also land ed. All the landings were made at the rew wharf of the Havana Central Electric railway. As the marines with their equip ment reached the wharf they were pass ed into street cars, which at once started two or three at a time. for Camp Colum- bia. The freight cars followed as fast as they were loaded. The sight of so many car loads of troops created considerable interest. but there was not the least ex- citement.

Sanitary Situation Requires Attention.

Havana, October 1.-The sanitary situa- tion is receiving very serious eonsidera- tion at the hands of the provisional gov ernment. In addition to the five cases of yellow fever here there are several sus- pected cases at Cienfuegos, and elsewhere in Santa Clara province.

DECISION ON STATE RATES.
Where This is Part of Interstate Rate 1t Must Be filed With Commission.

Washington, October 1.-The interstate commerce commission has reached a most important conclusion with respect to tue railway rate law which it has embodied in a general order made public today. It holds that where state rate forms part of an interstate rate, the state rate should be filed with the commission
 This is an entirely new feature in con nection with the operations of the inter- state commerce commission. The further announcement was made that the commis- sion intends wherever possible to construe the law in advance without waiting for any particular complaint to be made upon which to base its decision. In this way it Is expected that large number of com plaints will be anticipated and the work of the commission correspondingly lessened.

WORKMEN STRUGGLE
 TO GET TRACK LAID
Scenes BetWee Bay Minette and Mo- bile Have Probably Never Been
 Equaled in States History.

Flomaton, October 1.-W. H. Courtenay, chief engineer of the Louisville and Nash vile, now pushing work of reconstruction of that road between Bay Minette and Mo bile, today gave the following statement to a representative of the Associated Press:
 "The track between Bayou sara and Mo- bile is badly washed out and covered with heavy drftwood, and this is now being cleared away as rapidly as possi- ble. We will probably be able to get a train into Mobile tonight, on the New Or leans division. About five miles of track is washed away, and this section will have to be entirely reconstructed. The bridges, fortunately being of the modern steel construction, are not damaged In the least A great number of dead cattle and other live stock are scattered along the roadway, having sought refuge there from the fastly approaching waters"
 The scenes along the railroad In the stricken district below Bay Minette have probably never been equalled In the his tory of the state. Immense trees have been literally torn up by the roots and carried miles inland there to be deposited on the road bed.
 This morning heavy rainfall at and below Bay Minette and at Flomaton and Pensacola made the work of reconstruc- tion doubly difficult
 Work in DoWnpour of Rain.
 All night long in the downpour of drenching rain the men labored as tro- gems to get the track in a semblance Of alignment. Many of these rushed to the scene from the north, not acclimated and unaccustomed to the perlious semi-tropi- cal swamps, experienced great difficulty in maintaining footing and in perform Ing any efficient service. 1t is an im- possibility to find a dry spot and sleep is out of the question, and sorely tried by exhaustion. the laborers plod slowly along. Mosquitoes are thick and trouble some. All telegraphlc communications or- dnarily maintained by dozens of wires solidly constructed had been entirely cut off for days, and the railroad officials have been compelled to handle telegrams to and from to the front through Bay Minette, the nearest point in communlca- tion with the outside world to be for warded from there by engine and hand car.
 An Immensesforce of linemen are now in the district, and the Western Union com pany Is constantly rushing others to the front
 In spite, however, of the difficulties oc- casloned by the entire loss of telegraphic communication the work is going on re- markably well.
 At Il o'clock the rain Is falling in tor rents and the work is being delayed to some extent on this account.
